Just out of the street, suddenly there was a thunderous scream and roar. Xiao Di looked up doubtfully, and saw people walking in the street or working stop what they were doing after seeing them, turned to them and screamed and whistled as if they were hot stars.
"What the hell ..." Before Xiao Di could complain, suddenly, a girl rushed out of the crowd and killed them like an arrow. On the verge of hitting them, I didn't expect to stop in front of them.
"ah! I am so touched by a real person! " The girl looked up with tears and looked at them with admiration. "Excuse me, can you give me your autograph? Your love story is so touching! " Then the girl immediately took something out of her pocket.
"Excuse me?" Xiao Di was puzzled. "Did you misunderstand something?"
Finally, the girl took what she was looking for from her pocket: a roll of parchment and a pen. "Please don't be shy! We all know! Your story is my motivation to live! I believe in love again! "
As she said, the girl handed them the roll of paper. Originally, Xiao Di thought it was her creditor who came to see you-after all, she and her partner were both troublesome, but it turned out to be just a painting ... Don't! It's not just a painting! This is a portrait of her and her brother Jason!
Xiao Di didn't dare to look, glanced at it roughly and was embarrassed to look away. However, although he didn't look at it carefully, Xiao Di was sure that the painting was excellent, and I'm afraid it wasn't the work of someone from the American Association. Not only that, the sheepskin painted with paper is smooth and delicate. Apart from painting, painting paper alone is very expensive, and girls seem to be willing to pay for their dreams. "It is the driving force of my life" is not empty.
"Look, I'm a big fan of yours!" The girl's voice almost screamed with excitement. "Because I love you very much, can you sign my name?"
The girl's words stirred up a thousand waves. Before Xiao Di could refuse, there was a bigger response from the crowd-"What? Can you still sign? " "Is that true? I want it too! " "Look at me! Look at me! I am a big fan of yours! " There was no room for people to answer, and when they spoke, the crowd surged up.
"ah! Wait a minute! " Xiao Di pushed away the pen and paper in the girl's hand and shouted, "We don't know what's going on yet!"
But no one listened to her, and fanatics who called themselves "fans" still came to them enthusiastically.
Enough, enough, enough. Xiao Di is really fed up with such stupid things. Not only was he deceived by the self-centered leader of the Adventurers' Guild, but the subsequent troubles have not disappeared.
Life can hardly go on.
Angry Xiao Di even began to use his "verbal charm" ability, which is said to be a gift.
The ability of "talking curse" is an ability to influence the minds of other intelligent creatures with words, which is very similar to the "enchantment" in the wizard school. The difference is that charm uses words, while enchantment uses spells.
For a bard, "speech" is the most powerful part of their strength, and the best among them can even influence others and change reality through speech. Generally speaking, speaking ability is cultivated through a lot of persistent practice, but some people are born with the ability to influence others through speaking, which is called "speaking charm". Such people are often found and trained as minstrels, such as Xiao Di.
But in fact, the ability to express charm is often completely different from being a bard. Xiao Di is content with bard's idle and relaxed life when she doesn't need to study, but she really doesn't like learning those fancy poems, let alone reading them. However, the tutors of Bader College attach great importance to her because of her charm and think that she will become a new star in Bader.
This imposed pressure forced her to flee the college after the basic education course. After catching a sword from a passing robber, she registered with the Adventurers Association and started her adventure career.
What? Why not say it's a pipa? That kind of thing doesn't exist.
Originally, Xiao Di had planned to completely abandon his past in the Bard Academy, forget the useful and useless things he learned in the Academy, and concentrate on being an adventurer who occasionally salted fish. But now ...
Xiao Di looked at the surging crowd and felt that it was really impossible without this.
No matter how to refuse at ordinary times, Xiao Di still exists in front of life-saving skills at the critical moment-although it is doubtful whether he can save his life, it is worth trying to escape because his ability to express charm will affect his spiritual effect. Xiao Di desperately recalled that almost forgotten ability training, and gradually her mind began to become surprisingly calm, and she felt quite a bit delirious. She raised her eyes, and unconsciously, her pupils were stained with rainbow color, as if the light was artificially decomposed in her eyes.
In fact, in Xiao Di's eyes, the world has also changed its hue. Focusing on her, she can see-or feel-that there is a force field expanding and covering the crowd. In the area covered by the force field, the color is reversed. At this moment, Xiao Di felt that time was almost still, and she was the king in this force field.
Xiaodi took a deep breath. "Quiet!" She shouted loudly and her voice suddenly stopped. In fact, not only the sound was silent for an instant, but everyone present was imprisoned at the last second.
The sudden silence made my ears dizzy.
"I don't know what's wrong with you!" Xiao Di collapse shouted, "it was an accident! Something is wrong! "
I can't communicate at all! Xiao Di wanted to say something, but she didn't know how much effective time she had left in this ability of neglecting practice. In order to prevent the excited crowd from adding anything to her, she grabbed Jason's wrist while the onlookers were still bound by spells.
"What are you doing? Run! " Xiao Di shouted at Jason and turned and ran away without waiting for an answer.
They rushed out of the crowd of onlookers, afraid of being recognized and afraid to go that way again, so they hurriedly turned into a relatively sparsely populated alley.
Guess they're safe for the time being. Xiao Di and Jason are going to stop at the corner of the next lane to discuss what measures to take to explain the accident. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned a corner, she saw a familiar person walking in front of her from a distance. From this angle, Xiao Di can only see the back of the man, a figure with curly brown short hair, healthy wheat-colored skin, wearing a suspender overalls with various repair tools on it but covered with oil stains. An acquaintance is holding a mechanical part that has been removed from nowhere, and his greasy fingers are fiddling with it up and down, and he is talking to a suspected employer.
"Machinist!" Xiao Di shouted at the man's back.
The man looked back doubtfully and soon saw the flute. He just wanted to show a happy expression, but when he saw the man standing behind Xiao Di, he immediately changed into a complicated expression.
"You wait here!" Xiao Di said to Jason, and then immediately ran to Leo.
"Excuse me!" Xiao Di shouted at the suspected employer. Without waiting for the person to respond, he picked them up and walked towards a corner of the alley, regardless of the greasy hands of the mechanic.
Gnome male-",flute credit, this is not good, your boyfriend-"the mechanic shouted in a panic.
"Shut up, mechanic." Xiao Di shouted, "that's not my boyfriend! Also, don't call me a flute. "
"Okay, okay, don't fight." The mechanic immediately recognized cowardice, obediently asked Xiao Di to pull him into the corner, put him away, and then listened to Xiao Di ask him a very fatal question in a threatening tone-
"Leo Valdez, you just said, I have to do with that big brother over there? Also, what happened between me and that big brother over there in the past week? Answer me, now, now! Don't lie. "
Faced with Xiao Di's aggressive questioning, Leo Valdez turned pale and fell into an unprecedented tangle in his 16 years' life: Is Xiao Di McClane a disguised cash show of love or an amnesiac who forgot his new boyfriend a week ago?
If it is the former, he, Leo Valdez, is naturally ungrateful, and single dog also has the right to keep a dog. But what if it is the latter? Then Leo Valdez will fall into a new problem: Is it really amnesia, or is it because he is in conflict with his boyfriend, so he needs to find a scapegoat to bear the anger of flute McLean?
If it is the former, then he, Leo Valdez ...
Xiao Di looked at Leo's expression, waiting for her trusted relatives and friends to tell her what she wanted to know. But somehow, Leo's expression became more and more tragic, as if Xiao Di, who had just become the team leader, ordered him to sacrifice him to the dragon for the future of the team.
Xiao Di frowning, think things are not simple. "Is it so hard to tell the truth?"
Hearing this sentence, Leo's expression began to distort a little. "You really don't know or you really don't know?"
Xiao Di was confused by this rhetorical question: "What should I know?"
Leo showed a subtle expression and hooked his finger to show that Xiao Di was closer. Xiao Di unknown so leaned in slowly, only to hear Leo whispering in her ear: "What's it like to associate with the illegitimate child of the president of the Adventurers Association?"
President? Asshole? This sentence is too informative, Xiao Di can't react at the moment, and an uncontrollable rage rises in his heart.
"Still ask me? Is the batter out? A week ago, because someone did something stupid, the whole team was sued, so I had to go to the Adventurers Association to help people pay the fines they owed in the name of the team. As a result, because of this shit, Aphrodite caught a suspected love potion when I passed the hall, and then I lost consciousness for a week. When I was awake ... "The gushing words came here, and subconsciously, Xiaodi suddenly stopped. She glanced at Leo and found that the other person had been frightened by her anger, her eyes became numb and her limbs trembled.
I suddenly felt a little guilty, and I also remembered the scene when she woke up and she was embarrassed with her big brother. So Xiao Di paused, omitted some details, and went on with more gentle words. "... I don't know why I was gossiped, or an unknown soldier brother wore gossip. The most ridiculous thing is that there are still many people who claim to be moved by our story and even get our portraits in an attempt to get our signatures ... Is the world crazy? I don't want conspiracy theories, but which organization, or which of our enemies, was fired to hack our big news? "
Leo moved. "So you really don't know?"
Xiao Di instantly felt a little lost, and she couldn't be angry with herself. After holding it for a long time, she finally sighed and said wearily, "Yes, please tell me what's going on."
-To be determined-
