Reader: Betraying a teammate
"Do you know the Starlight Troupe? It's the most famous troupe in the continent. They are looking for a suitable protagonist and I think you're very suitable – you're so good-looking. If you're willing to play the protagonist, the pay is very good. Do you want to consider it? "
Enoch continued to talk under Xiu's cold eyes. His temperament has always been impulsive and familiar. When he saw the silver-haired elf, Enoch was convinced that no creature could be more like "Cecil" than the elf in front of him – the beautiful Cecil who could captivate the world. So Enoch left his companion and rushed over to stop the elf. Enoch was a little depressed. Although his request was abrupt, the silver-haired elf's cold face shouldn't be so murderous.
What a dangerous feeling …
The short-haired thief subconsciously tightened his body and began to look for a gap to escape. His drifting eyes swept over Du Ze and then stopped. Enoch stared straight at Du Ze. All his attention was attracted by the silver-haired elf and now he realized that the elf had a companion and that person –
"It's you!?" Enoch pointed at Du Ze and shouted: "Where have you been taken? Eric has been looking for you! "
Hey, the enemy is looking for this young man?!
Du Ze didn't have time to think before Xiu made his move. New hatred and old hatred piled up and Xiu grabbed Enoch with lightning speed. The speed of an Archer Saint is not something that the current Enoch can escape. Xiu grabbed the surprised Enoch, paused for a moment, and looked up, just in time to see Enoch jump onto the roof with Du Ze. Enoch's figure began to disappear. This is just a phantom, exactly the same as when he took Du Ze away.
Du Ze recognized this trick. It's Enoch's special skill: Shadow Shift. It uses light and shadows to create an afterimage to attract the enemy's attention. Thief King Jack's original skill. Well, that's not the point. The point is … how did he get shot again?
Du Ze struggled as Enoch carried him on his shoulder but was stopped by the thief's words.
"Hey? Don't move, I don't want to knock you out. "
The bitter reader asked gloomily, "Why did you bring me along?"
"So you're not a mute. Your voice is quite good. You don't like to talk?" Even though he was escaping, Enoch was still very talkative. "Although I don't know why, Eric seems to care a lot about you, so when he saw you, he couldn't help but …"
Young man, you're courting death! Du Ze couldn't help but make a sad expression. Since the Moe Lord confessed to him, all the things that he couldn't figure out before had a very philosophical explanation. For example, why did Xiu fly into a rage in the Gnome Ruins? For example, why did Xiu not like the cute girl Ariel? A certain silly Moe character was about to burst into tears when she found out the truth. Was it really okay for a Moe character to sacrifice all of her little brothers and sisters for a rough man?
… However, why is my nemesis always looking for this young man?
Enoch used various terrains to speed up. Xiu hasn't caught up with him for a while. Du Ze suddenly found that this was a very good opportunity.
"Where are my books?"
"What book … Oh, do you mean the book with two people on the cover?" Enoch's voice was full of curiosity. "What's in that book? Why did Eric turn pale with fright? This is the first time I've seen Eric so panicky. "
… Please light a candle for the lost innocence of the Son of God.
"Eric didn't let us see it, so Master Thief stole it." Enoch's words revealed a remnant thought: "But Eric put a lot of seals on the outer layer, so I can't see it."
What's with this strong impulse to write a good review of the Son of God? Good job! So now the evildoer's book is in Enoch's hands? Du Ze thought this was also very good. Since he has to find a place to hide it, he might as well leave it with Enoch. Anyway, Enoch can't open it.
While thinking this, Du Ze heard the thief say with great ambition: "This is not difficult for me. Master Thief knows a lot of people. They said they will soon break the seal!"
Some silly, cute person saw a doujinshi with a shy face surrounded by a group of people, shyly watching them lift the bottom of its skirt …
"… Give it back to me!"
"You want the book back?" Enoch said: "Well, do me a favor and I'll give it back to you."
Du Ze didn't need to think to know that it must be the completion task. In the original novel, in order to get Xiu to agree to act in "Cecil," Enoch signed a variety of unequal treaties and became one of the Moe Lord's little brothers.
"Chirp!"
The little Phoenix on Du Ze's head seemed to recognize Enoch: it was this short-haired Chirp who stole its mother Chirp!
"Woo –"
The angry bird used its round body as a weapon and hit Enoch's forehead like a cannonball. Enoch staggered and almost fell off the roof, but he just happened to dodge the light arrow that shot from above. The thief stiffened on the roof. The light arrow that just grazed the tip of his nose was like a brush with death. Du Ze turned his head and saw that in front of them was a towering clock tower. Xiu stood on top of the tower and once again pulled the bow in the shape of a branch and leaf – it was a gift from the Tree of Life to Xiu, an artifact that could automatically generate magic arrows.
Enoch's strong intuition told him that his whole body was being targeted. Shadow Shift consumes a lot of energy and he can only use it once a day. The silver-haired elf's fingers loosened the bowstring. Almost at the same time, a fire dragon jumped out and hit the light arrow. Even though the fire dragon was instantly dispersed by the light arrow, the flames still obscured Xiu's line of sight and gave Enoch enough time to react. The thief dodged the arrow and ran to the side of the newcomer.
"Stupid Enoch, you ran to cause trouble again!" Honey kicked Enoch and then saw Du Ze. "Hey, isn't this the person Eric was looking for?"
"Yes, so I couldn't help but steal him. Then I messed with a powerful thief." Speaking of Xiu, Enoch's eyes lit up again. "I tell you, I finally found the right actor –"
"The other party is very tricky." Bart interrupted Enoch's words. He pulled out his greatsword and looked at the opposite side vigilantly.
The fire dragon's scattered flames gradually dissipated into the air. Xiu stood above with a cold face, his whole body exuding a terrible chill. Even so, the elf's face was still so beautiful that it made people forget to leave. Honey cupped her face in an instant, her eyes sparkling.
"So beautiful ~ I think I can finally get over the pain of being lovelorn ~"
Bart smiled bitterly: "Miss, please be careful."
Xiu pulled the bowstring and three magic arrows automatically appeared between his forked fingers.
"Whoosh –"
So fast! Bart's pupils shrank. He couldn't see the arrow's trajectory at all. He could only judge the direction and position of the arrow according to the movement of Xiu's fingers. When the greatsword hit the arrow, the powerful force in his hand told him that the other party was an Archer Saint.
"Boom!"
The movement here has alarmed the Star Empire, but the city guards looked up at the battle above and were dumbfounded – it was not something they could intervene in. The City Guard Captain looked up: Hey, isn't that Sir Antonio's little granddaughter?
Enoch awkwardly dodged Xiu's magic arrows. He jumped and cried at Du Ze: "Why are your companions always so terrible!"
That's because you always step on his explosive point!
"Put me down."
"Give this thief some time to let you go!"
"Burp."
There was a sudden burp and all the arrows were swallowed up by the flames in an instant. An old man shaking a bottle of wine appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing a ragged robe and his face was red from drinking. The moment she saw the old man, Honey exclaimed: "Grandpa!"
Bart gasped and respectfully saluted the old man: "Master."
The old man waved his hand and looked drunkenly at Xiu on the clock tower: "Young man, don't be too murderous. This is the Imperial Capital. If you continue to make trouble, it will make me, burp, Antonio look useless. The royal family is very stingy. It's not easy for this old man to drink, burp. "
The First God of Magic, Antonio, has always been a legend. He is the idol of countless people in the Chaos Continent. All his experiences can be arranged into plays and sung by bards. No one can specifically say how strong Antonio is, but it is rumored that he is only one step away from becoming a god. Antonio does not belong to any power and is now purely a guest in the Star Empire. In the original text, Xiu met Antonio through Honey and was then noticed by the God of Magic and received a God's Mentor.
This person is very dangerous. This is the feeling Xiu got from Antonio. The elf form seems a bit difficult, maybe the demons can fight him. Xiu indifferently thought, if this person also hinders me …
Antonio raised his eyes, a little light flashed in his drunken eyes.
"You are a good seedling, this old man doesn't want to destroy you."
"They shouldn't have taken away my people," the elf said indifferently.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Enoch, who was carrying Du Ze. The short-haired thief smiled stiffly and put Du Ze down. When Du Ze walked to the clock tower, Xiu jumped down and tightly grasped Du Ze's arm, like a dragon guarding its treasure.
Antonio opened the lid of the wine and took a swig. He sighed: "Aha ~ It seems to be a misunderstanding. It's good to be young, always have a lot of energy to make trouble." His cloudy eyes fell on Xiu: "You're very good. Do you want to consider hanging out with this old man?"
If anyone else heard this, they would definitely faint from happiness. This is the First God of Magic, Antonio, a living legend!
In the face of Antonio's invitation, Xiu declined to comment. He glanced coldly at Enoch and the others, then pulled Du Ze away. With Antonio present, it is not convenient for him to act against those people.
The future is long.
Seeing that Xiu and Du Ze were about to leave, Enoch hurriedly shouted: "Hey! You really don't want to think about it? It's about the actors! "
Du Ze always felt that the gold mercenary squad was stupid. Even though the Moe Lord had clearly shown his intention to kill them, they still played around and didn't feel any sense of crisis. Especially Enoch, that idiot, was the most serious.
Xiu continued to move forward. Seeing this, Enoch shouted: "Black-haired brother, don't forget our agreement! I'll wait for you at the Starlight Troupe! "
Du Ze felt Xiu's grip on his hand tighten. Some silly, cute person is now sure that Enoch is a scourge – every time something happens, it's always him who gets shot!
After getting rid of Enoch and the others, the two found a hotel in the Star Empire to stay. Du Ze felt the cold aura of the elf opposite him and thought it would be better for him to take the initiative to confess.
"That thief has something I want." Seeing Xiu looking at him, Du Ze said: "He said that if I help him do something, he will give me that thing."
"What is that thing?"
Du Ze was silent. Was he going to tell the Moe Lord that it was the doujinshi that was about to be stripped?
Fortunately, Xiu did not pursue the matter. Instead, he asked another question: "What does he want you to do?"
"… Persuade you to act."
Xiu stood by the window, the sun shining on his delicate face.
"Do you want me to do it?" Xiu said: "Then tell me what you want."
– Until I become all of your * *.
Xiu's voice was very cold, but it revealed an indescribable temptation. Du Ze almost blurted out: "I want you to act."
In the sunlight, Xiu's thin lips seemed to rise slightly. He came over and gently put his hand on the back of Du Ze's neck.
"As you wish."
The next day, Enoch waited for his savior at the Starlight Troupe. The moment he saw Xiu, the thief almost cried with joy.
"Are you willing to act? Are you willing? Are you willing? "
Xiu did not immediately answer Enoch. Instead, he asked: "Why did you take him away?"
Enoch followed Xiu's finger and saw Du Ze. Fearing that Xiu would be angry and leave, Enoch quickly explained: "This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! I have a friend who has been looking for him. When you rushed over, I panicked and took your companion away … "
"Who is looking for him?" Xiu's voice was calm, but Du Ze did not know why he wanted to run away.
"A friend of mine. His name is Eric." As if afraid that Xiu would misunderstand, Enoch began to speak for Eric: "Eric is not malicious. I can feel that he has a good impression of your companion."
"Eric … is it …"
Du Ze silently took a few steps back. He felt from the bottom of his heart that Xiu regarded Eric as a lifelong enemy – don't ask him why!
Enoch, who had been unaware of the situation, continued, "When you meet Eric, you'll know that he's a very good person. Eric has something to do and has to leave, but he said that you can see him at the weapons competition. I can introduce you to him then. "
At this moment, Du Ze was enlightened. In fact, it was not that he was unjustly attacked, but that Enoch was a professional at selling out his teammates!
Du Ze watched in horror as Xiu nodded expressionlessly. Enoch, that idiot, did not have the awareness of betraying his teammates and happily led them to see the leader of the Starlight Troupe. When the leader saw Xiu, he was also very excited. Under Enoch's instigation, he actually wanted to challenge the difficult play that no one has been able to perform well so far. The Starlight Troupe has already prepared everything. All they need is a suitable protagonist.
The most important thing for a play is to make the audience feel immersed in it. In fact, "Cecil" does not require high acting skills. The difficulty lies in finding a "Cecil" who can amaze all the audience. That is to say, all the audience, regardless of gender or age, must think that the "Cecil" in the play is very beautiful. Every one is intoxicated by the beauty of "Cecil," so that when the lover of "Cecil" appears, even the audience is jealous, and the play is really played out.
The leader of the Starlight Troupe wants to cry. He finally found his ideal protagonist. The silver-haired elf in front of him is already stunning even without makeup. After putting on makeup, they will surely see the real "Cecil." He can guarantee with his acting career that this elf will definitely make all the audience crazy, but …
Even if all the audience falls head over heels for "Cecil," they will never be jealous of "Cecil's" lover.
Because "Cecil" looks at his lover as if he were looking at a blade of grass.
Just looking at the lover is a problem, let alone kissing the female lead. The leader felt that he really needed a bottle of wine at this time. Many troupes want to perform "Cecil" because they are stuck in the first act. "Cecil" is not beautiful enough to amaze all the audience. He easily passed the first act, but he was stuck in the second act, where Cecil and his lover interacted. But this scene was the most crucial one. Only by making the audience jealous of the lover could the subsequent plot turn their jealousy into sympathy. Only then would the audience feel a sense of loss when they saw the ending.
The other scenes had passed, but the damned second scene had been stuck. The leader wants to kneel in front of Xiu and beg: I'm not asking you to see the heroine as a lover, but can you at least see her as a person?
After learning of the leader's tragedy, Enoch hurried to find Xiu. Du Ze stayed under the stage and watched. He saw Enoch say something to Xiu, and then Xiu looked at him and said something.
At that moment, Du Ze thought he saw the world's most wonderful face-changing performance from Enoch's face. The thief looked at Xiu like a chicken, then finally showed an expression of desperation and ran to say something to the leader. Then, Du Ze saw the leader's face turn colorful. Next, the leader also showed an expression of desperation and walked over with Enoch.
Du Ze suddenly had a bad feeling. He saw the two people in front of him. Enoch and the leader had a kind smile on their faces.
"Hey, brother, do me a favor. Can you play the heroine in the second act?"
*****
*****
– It's just a kiss on the face, don't worry too much about it.
– If the heroine is him, I'll kiss it.
