The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game

  Chapter 210 The Bard and the "King Who Doesn't Know People"

  As a border city, it is expected that Sitlan is not as prosperous as Catalina, but this does not mean that the city has no merits.

  The biggest feature of a city as a trade node is that it has various characteristic products from various countries.

  The Rhineland is fertile, and its food production ranks among the top among small countries, which makes the solid Rhine bread widely acclaimed; the region of the Blue Land is cold, and high-alcohol spirits are needed to raise people's body temperature.

   Sea fish, fabrics, and dairy products from small and remote countries can all be seen in this border town.

   Corinna knows and has tried all these things, but they are all "gifts" that have been packaged layer by layer. She is full of original ecology like this. She has seen it relatively rarely, but it has a special flavor.

   But this thought stopped after tasting a piece of cake that was labeled "authentic **** flavor" but didn't quite meet her taste.

   "The original ecology is not necessarily good."

   Sighing, Corinna cut off the piece of cake she tasted with a spoon, threw it into the trash can, and then gave the rest to a girl who was scratching the window but didn't dare to speak.

  Seeing the happy expression on the girl's face after tasting the cake, the girl's mood suddenly improved a lot.

   "Is it time to go back?"

  She glanced at her watch.

  Although it took only ten minutes to shop, she felt that it was enough.

  Although it is lively here, there is not much that can make her stay for a while.

   Don’t force yourself to stuff something that doesn’t suit your taste.

   However, just as she was about to walk out of the cake shop and look back for the woman who took her out, the sudden agitation of people around made her subconsciously stop.

   "Let's make it easy, don't block me."

   "Why are there so many people? It's so noisy, how can I listen to stories later."

   "Pull it down, how many people here are listening to stories? Are you?"

   "Aren't I just listening to stories? Feel your conscience and ask, is Miss Alyssa a bad poet or a bad singer?"

   "This matter is such a thing, and the reason is such a reason, but"

   "Don't be stubborn, don't squeeze forward and wait for the next position to be gone."

  “.”

"elder sister."

  The immature call pulled Corinna's thoughts back from the complicated noise.

  She tilted her head and looked to one side.

   Standing beside her was the girl who had just taken her cake, and beside the girl was a middle-aged man carrying a paper bag, who seemed to be her father?

"elder sister."

  The girl yelled again, took out a small stuffed doll from the paper bag the man was carrying, and handed it to the girl.

   "This is for you." She said with a raised face, "Father said that when you receive a gift, you must give it back, otherwise you won't be a good boy!"

  “.”

  Korinna blinked, looking at the doll whose appearance was really hard to describe in words, she couldn't help laughing.

"thanks."

  She took the doll, and couldn't help but reached out and rubbed the girl's head. Seeing her cat-like expression, the girl immediately felt happier.

  People always like beautiful things, and innocent children are undoubtedly the treasures of the world.

  Pinching the doll, the girl suddenly smelled a fragrance.

  Being careful and steady, she judged that the doll was filled with grass.

  Fangxiucao is a kind of medicinal material that is not particularly precious. As the name suggests, it can help relax fatigue and relieve tense mood.

  Korina herself often uses it, such as lighting an aromatherapy made of weed grass in the bathroom, so that when she is lying in the bathtub, she can wander into the sky and not be troubled by reality.

   "I think it will help me a lot." The girl thanked again.

   "Hee hee." The girl smiled happily, and then asked curiously, "Sister, don't you want to listen to Sister Alyssa's storytelling?"

   "Alyssa?" Corinna asked suspiciously, "Is that the one they mentioned just now? Who is that?"

"It's a bard." The explanation was made by the girl's father, "She has only come to Setland in the past few days, and it is said that she has just finished her trip to the Blue Land and collected many fresh stories, so here I am with Everyone share."

   "Bard." Corinna thought for a while and said, "It sounds like a female name, female bard. It's quite rare, no wonder it's so popular."

"It's not just because it's rare." The man smiled and said, "Her storytelling is really good, and her singing voice is also great. If you want to leave a good memory in this city, I think you should go to Try listening to it once."

   "Huh?" Corinna was a little surprised that the man saw that she was a foreigner, but she was relieved after thinking about it.

Regardless of clothing and behavior, just from her temperament, even she herself feels that she is out of place in this city, and there is a strange sense of alienation everywhere. If it is people who have lived here for many years, it should be easy to distinguish it from other places. come.

   What's more, the trading city already has a floating population, which is normal.

   "Thanks, I'll think about it."

  The man nodded slightly, without further words, he took the little girl and left the cake shop.

   "So, do you want to take a look?"

   Corinna thought about it and decided to give it a try.

   After all, this is also the first time she has left Catalina alone, and these new things are also very interesting to her.

  The bard's temporary site is in the small square in the center of the commercial street. When Corinna arrived, it was already surrounded by water.

  But it may be because of their experience, the guards in uniforms have been waiting here early, trying their best to arrange people in an orderly manner.

  Korinna came late, and there were no seats around, but after paying dozens of gold coins and the threat of a knight sword, she managed to get a single room in a restaurant with a good view from a middle-aged man.

  Looking over the window and falling on the dry fountain in the center of the square, Corinna let out a breath of white air, quietly waiting for the performance to begin.

   "Hoo—"

  The girl with good hearing heard the sound of wind.

What surprised her was that the sound of the wind did not match the temperament of the deep winter she was in now. It contained a piercing biting and icy coldness. Instead, it was a bit like the breeze that blows the ripples of the clear spring in summer, gentle and gentle. And fresh.

  When the sound of the wind spread into the square, a woman in a thick beige gown with splendid blond hair but slightly messy brought her erection to the edge of the fountain with the wind.

   "If the wind had a sound, then it should be one of the masterpieces." The girl with excellent taste made a good evaluation of the bard's appearance.

"good afternoon everyone."

  The bard named Alyssa greeted the people.

She is very beautiful, even though she does not wear makeup, she still deserves the word "beautiful", and her body curve is so superior that Corinna feels ashamed when she sees it—a girl in development is far less than a mature woman When competing for femininity.

  The above are the basis of the female bard's popularity, and the reason why she is so popular, in Corinna's opinion, is because of her generous actions.

  When she greeted and waved, she raised her arms indifferently, and she couldn't see any gracefulness and softness that women should have. However, combined with her deeds that just came back from the blue land, it still fits her identity.

   Corinna doesn't like this gesture, but she won't interfere with other people's habits.

   "Good afternoon! Miss Alyssa!"

   "Hey, Alyssa, after today is over, do you want to have a glass of wine together!"

   "He just walked back from the blue land, just like you, don't be ashamed of yourself."

  “.”

  The sound of everyone responding to the greeting came from the ear, and Corinna sipped her tea a little bored, urging to start quickly.

   It seemed that she had heard her inner voice, or it might be that bards naturally didn't like to spend too much time on politeness. Alyssa quickly stopped the noise with the sound of the piano, and began a round of light and slow narration.

   "On the west side of the mainland, in the boundless endless sea, there is a small island isolated from the world. For a long time, it was caught in the flames of war until a king appeared."

   Corinna quietly listened to Alyssa's recitation.

The story described by Alyssa, if you want to sum it up, is the story of how to unify her country and become popular, and then collapsed to become a "king who doesn't understand the hearts of the people". It is true, like a historical event that has been transformed by legend.

   However, the bard clearly knows how to make his creations more popular.

   Instead of focusing her story on the history, she focuses on portraying some of the less believable but more interesting-sounding little stories.

  For example, "female king", "drawing out the sword in the stone proved to be the chosen one", "returned from the war and found that the harem was stolen by the closest knight", "the last battle was defeated and was stabbed by my son in the back", etc.

   Compared with boring history, these ethical dramas are obviously more concerned by ordinary people who are politically indifferent.

  Of course, Corinna has no interest in these ethical dramas.

   She was tired of watching these performances every day at the Catalina Grand Theater.

   There are several reasons why she didn't just get up and leave.

   Firstly, Alyssa's narration is really good, at least people who don't listen to it will be bored, and it is a good choice to pass the time; secondly, she is very interested in what the king did.

   To be more specific, it is the "Knights of the Round Table" she created.

  The Rhine Kingdom also has the Knights, but the Knights in this story are obviously more special.

"The reason why the Knights of the Round Table are the Knights of the Round Table is that they are not divided into high and low positions like the Knights of the Rhine. They all sit on a round table, together with the king, and there is no difference in status or distinction between monarchs and ministers. Everyone is allowed to speak freely, and finally the king will unify opinions and make the final choice."

   Corinna felt that this king seemed to be inexplicably similar to herself.

  They are all women, both are knights, and both need help to make choices.

  The only difference is that she is the daughter of the Duke's family, and the other party is born to be a king.

   Corinna picked up her teacup and was about to take a sip when she suddenly heard Alyssa add a voice-over.

"By the way, there are rumors that the knight king is not of real royal blood. A duke replaced his child with the king's orphan and fostered him in the countryside to replace the original king—however, Maybe the original king can't pull out the sword in the stone, right?"

   "tick-"

  “.”

  Looking at the little tea on the table, Corinna smiled helplessly.

  Really, she didn't grow up in the countryside, so what is she doing so deeply.

   By the way, isn’t this story a bit too fitting for me?

  At that moment, Corinna felt that the bard seemed to be reciting a story specially customized for her.

   But the thought was fleeting.

Alyssa's story is logical and smooth from the beginning to the end, without any exaggeration, and the main nodes of the story are all kinds of ethical dramas, which can be said to perfectly fit the public's psychology. It is a story that has been tempered many times.

   "I'm a little nervous."

   Standing up, Corinna lazily stretched her body, ready to leave.

  Walking down the restaurant, Alyssa’s narration has ended, and many people are trying to get her to sign an autograph and come again, but Corinna obviously doesn’t have this interest, and is about to leave.

  But just after passing the threshold of the restaurant, the first thing she looked up was not the road, but the opposite shop.

   Opposite is a jewelry store.

  Maybe it’s because the things inside are too expensive, and there’s only one guest inside—from a long distance, Corinna can judge the value of the jewels inside with her tasting ability.

   "When you receive a gift, you must return it~"

  The girl's voice echoed in her mind, and Corinna subconsciously stroked the green bracelet on her wrist.

  Although the gifts she brought were precious, they were all for Mr. Marquis. That woman was not under consideration.

   Definitely should return something.

   "Good afternoon, miss."

  The waiter came up with a bright smile: "What kind of jewelry do you need? Bracelet or necklace?"

  Korinna thought for a while and said, "Necklace."

   "Okay! Come with me!"

The waiter brought her to a counter and introduced her vividly: "Look, this necklace is inlaid with sapphires containing water elements. It is said that a great magician defeated a powerful sea monster. Afterwards, the product extracted by another great alchemist, after wearing it, has the effect of refreshing, nourishing and beautifying the face."

   "And this one, inlaid here is the fruit of the thousand-year-old spiritual tree, the spiritual energy contained in it can heal injuries and prolong life"

"This one is a bit special. It's not a natural gemstone. It's made by an alchemist who extracted the blood of a red fox and added a platinum-grade alchemy gemstone. The function of this alchemy gemstone is to improve people's sensory ability. The blood effect of the red fox is cough cough"

   Corinna listened to the waiter's narration in silence, lacking interest.

The waiter said one thing after another, wishing to blow up the value of these necklaces to the sky, but she is not an ignorant person, how could she not know what kind of junk these are-just placed in the window , it cannot be a good thing.

  Of course, she also knows that in this kind of place, there are definitely no treasures to be found.

   Just look at it.

   "This, this, and this. Show me this."

  The waiter happily took out the three necklaces pointed by the girl and let her watch them.

  These three necklaces are what the waiter called "nourishing the face", "prolonging life", and "I mentioned it but forgot". Corinna rubbed the blue one and began to hesitate again.

Judging from the quotation given by the waiter, her personal wallet does not support her to pack all three necklaces—every time, she will start to get angry about why Hearst can get so much pocket money—and considering the future Demand, she can only choose one as a gift at most.

   Then here comes the tangled one.

  For a woman, appearance is undoubtedly the top priority, and the blue necklace is very good.

  The charm of the spirit wood necklace is the worst for her, because it describes things that no one with a little knowledge will believe.

   And the last one.

   Corinna thought it might be the most useful one for women, but she was a little embarrassed to send it out.

   So, which one to choose?

   Corinna, who was not good at making choices, fell into a deep entanglement.

  She really hates herself why there is no knight of the round table to help her decide which one is feasible to return to Catalina. After that, she must recruit more "knights" who can carry them with her. Well, let's start looking for them now.

   "Miss, don't you know how to choose?"

  The sudden soft words gathered Corinna's divergent thinking.

  She raised her head in a daze, and looked at the male youth who suddenly appeared beside her.

   "This should be very suitable for giving away."

  Thinking was interrupted suddenly, and Corinna, whose brain was temporarily blank, subconsciously followed where he pointed.

   "Is it green?"

   Today should be the second day, so tomorrow will be the peak, right?

   Sad TT
