"You know the Starlight Art Troupe, right? It's the most famous art troupe in mainland China. They are now looking for a suitable leading actor, and I think you are very suitable - you are so beautiful. If you are willing to play the leading role, the remuneration is very generous. Do you want to consider it?"
Enoch continued to speak rapidly under Xiu's cold gaze. He was always impulsive and outgoing. When he saw the silver-haired elf with a startled glance, Enoch was sure that no creature could be more like "Cecil" than the elf in front of him - Cecil with a beauty that made the world obsessed. So Enoch left his companions and rushed over to stop him. Enoch was a little depressed now. Although his request was abrupt, the silver-haired elf with a cold face would not emit murderous aura towards him, right?
It feels so dangerous...
The short-haired thief subconsciously tensed his body and began to look for a chance to escape as a professional habit. His drifting eyes swept over Du Ze and then stopped. Enoch stared at Du Ze. Just now, all his attention was attracted by the silver-haired elf. Only then did he realize that the other party had a companion, and that person——
"It's you!?" Enoch pointed at Duze and shouted, "Where have you been taken? Eric has been looking for you!"
Hey, is Sudijun looking for me? !
Before Du Ze had time to think, Xiu made his move. With new and old hatreds added up, Xiu grabbed Enoch at lightning speed. The speed of an arrow saint was not something that Enoch could dodge at the moment. Xiu grabbed the surprised Enoch, then paused for a moment, turned his head and looked up, just in time to see Enoch and Du Ze jumping onto the roof. Enoch beside Xiu began to disappear. It was just an illusion, exactly the same as when he took Du Ze away.
Du Ze recognized this trick, which was Enoch's specialty: shape-shifting. It was basically using light and shadow to create a residual image to attract the enemy's attention, a unique skill of the thief king Jack. Well, this is not the point, the point is... why did he get shot again.
Being carried on Enoch's shoulders, Du Ze began to struggle, but was stopped by the thief's words.
"Hey? Don't move. I don't want to knock you out."
The miserable reader asked in frustration: "Why did you bring me along?"
"So you're not dumb, you actually have a pretty good voice, aren't you? Why don't you like to talk?" Even when he was running for his life, Enoch still talked a lot: "I don't know why, but Eric seems to care about you very much, so when he sees you, he can't help but..."
Young man, you are courting death! Du Ze couldn't help but make a sad face. Since the cute master confessed to him, all the things that he couldn't understand before have very philosophical explanations, such as why Xiu got mad in the dwarf ruins, and why Xiu didn't like the cute girl Ariel. The moment a stupid cute boy learned the truth, tears were about to fall. Is it really okay for the cute master to sacrifice all the younger brothers and sisters for a rough guy?
...But why is my old enemy always looking for me?
Enoch used various terrains to speed up his speed, and Xiu couldn't catch up for a while. Du Ze suddenly realized that this was a very good opportunity.
"Where's my book?"
"What book... Oh, 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 look so frightened after taking a look at it? This is the first time I've seen Eric so panicked."
...Please light a candle for the lost innocence of the Son of God.
"Eric didn't let us see it, so the thief stole it." Enoch said with a hint of pity, "But Eric put a lot of seals on the outer layer, so we can't see it."
What's the matter with this strong urge to write a good review for the Holy Son? Well done! So is the book in Enoch's hands now? Du Ze thought it was a good idea. Since he would have to find a place to hide it, he might as well leave it with Enoch, since Enoch couldn't open it anyway.
As Du Ze was thinking this, he heard the thief say ambitiously: "This won't be a problem for me. The thief knows a lot of people, and they said they can break the seal soon!"
A certain silly and cute person vaguely saw a doujinshi being surrounded by a group of people with a shy face, and shyly watched them lift up 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 knew without thinking that it must be the mission. In the original text, Enoch signed various unequal treaties in order to get Xiu to agree to play the role in "Cecil", and thus became one of Mengzhu's younger brothers.
"Jiubi!"
The little phoenix on Duze's head seemed to recognize Enoch: it was this short-haired chick that had taken away its mother!
“Oooooh—”
The angry bird used its round body as a weapon, and the cannonball hit Enoch's forehead. Enoch stumbled and almost fell off the roof, but he just avoided the light arrow shot from above. The thief froze on the roof. The light arrow just brushed past his nose like a brush with death. Du Ze turned his head and saw a tall bell tower in front of them. Xiu stood on the bell tower against the light and pulled the bow in the shape of branches again - it was a gift from the Tree of Life to Xiu, a magic weapon that could automatically generate magic arrows.
A strong intuition told Enoch that he was being targeted from head to toe. The power of Apparition was too much, and he could only use it once a day. The silver-haired elf's fingers loosened the bowstring, and almost at the same moment, a fire dragon jumped out and hit the light arrow. Even though the fire dragon was instantly dispersed by the light arrow, the flying flames obscured Xiu's vision, giving Enoch enough time to react. The thief dodged the arrows and ran to the side of the intruder.
"Stupid Enoch, you're causing trouble again!" Mier kicked Enoch, and then found Du Ze. "Hey, isn't this the person Eric is looking for?"
"Yeah, so I couldn't help but steal him, and then I got into trouble with a thief." Speaking of Xiu, Enoch's eyes lit up again. "I tell you, I finally found the right actor-"
"The opponent is very difficult." The strong man Bart interrupted Enoch, drew his sword and looked at the opposite side vigilantly.
The flames of the fire dragon gradually disappeared in the air. Xiu stood above with a cold face, and a terrifying chill emanated from his whole body. Even so, the elf's face was still beautiful enough to make people linger. Mier almost held up her face in an instant, her eyes sparkling.
"So beautiful~ I think I can finally get over the pain of a broken heart~"
Bart smiled bitterly: "Miss, please be careful."
Xiu pulled the bowstring, and three magic arrows automatically appeared between his forked fingers.
"call out--"
So fast! Bart's pupils shrank. He couldn't see the arrow's trajectory at all. He could only judge the direction and position based on the movement of Xiu's fingers, and then chopped it down with his sword. When the big sword hit the arrow, the powerful force in his hand told him that the opponent was an archer.
"Bang!"
The movement here has alarmed the Star Empire, but the city guards who rushed over were dumbfounded when they looked up at the battle above - it was not a level they could intervene in. The captain of the city guard looked up and said: Hey, isn't that the granddaughter of Lord Antonio! ?
Enoch dodged Xiu's magic arrows in a wolfish manner. He jumped and wailed at Du Ze: "Why are your companions always so terrible!"
That's because you always hit his weak spot!
"Put me down."
"Give the thief some time to let you go!"
"belch."
A sudden burp sounded, and all the arrows were engulfed in flames in an instant. An old man shaking a bottle of wine appeared in everyone's sight. He was wearing a tattered robe and his face was red from drinking. The moment she saw the old man, Mier shouted in surprise: "Grandpa!"
Bart panted and bowed respectfully to the old man: "Master."
The old man waved his hands, looking drunkenly at the repairman on the bell tower: "Young man, don't be too murderous. This is the imperial capital. If you keep making trouble, it will make me, hiccup, Antonio, look useless. The royal family is very stingy. It's not easy for an old man to get a drink, hiccup."
Antonio, the first god of law, has always been a legend. He is the idol of countless people in the Chaos Continent. All his experiences can be staged into dramas and sung by wandering poets. No one can explain exactly how strong Antonio is. According to rumors, he is only one step away from becoming a god. Antonio does not belong to any force and is now just a guest in the Star Empire. In the original text, Xiu met Antonio through Mi'er, and then was spotted by the god of law at first sight, thus gaining a god of law mentor.
This person is very dangerous, this is the feeling Antonio gave Xiu. The elf form seems a little bit weak, maybe the demons can fight it, Xiu thought indifferently, if this person also hinders him...
Antonio raised his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his drunken eyes.
"You are a good candidate, and the old man doesn't want to ruin you."
"They shouldn't have taken my people away." said the elf coldly.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Enoch who was carrying Du Ze. The short-haired thief put Du Ze down with a stiff smile. When Du Ze walked to the clock tower, Xiu jumped down and grabbed Du Ze's arm tightly, like a dragon guarding its treasure.
Antonio popped the lid of the wine with a pop, took a gulp and said with emotion: "Ahaha~ It looks like a misunderstanding. It's great to be young. You always have a lot of energy to make trouble." His cloudy eyes fell on Xiu: "You are very good. Do you want to consider hanging out with an old man like me?"
If other people heard this, they would definitely faint from happiness. That was Antonio, the number one god of magic, a living legend!
Facing Antonio's invitation, Xiu didn't say anything. He glanced coldly at Enoch and the others, then pulled Du Ze away. With Antonio present, it was inconvenient for him to attack those people.
There is a long way to go.
Seeing Xiu and Du Ze were about to leave, Enoch quickly shouted, "Hey! Are you really not going to think about it? The actor's business!"
Du Ze has always felt that the people in the Golden Mercenary Team are stupid. Even though the Lord has clearly shown his murderous intentions towards them, they still act funny and forget about it. They have no sense of crisis at all, especially Enoch, that idiot.
Xiu continued to move forward without paying any attention. Seeing this, Enoch shouted again: "Dark-haired brother, don't forget our agreement! I'll wait for you at the Starlight Art Troupe!"
Du Ze instantly felt that Xiu was holding his hand tighter. Some foolish man was now certain that Enoch was a nuisance - he was always the one who got caught in the crossfire every time something went wrong!
After leaving Enoch and the others behind, the two found a hotel in the Star Capital to stay. Du Ze felt the chill emanating from the elves in front of him, and thought it would be better for him to confess.
"That thief has something I want." Jian Xiu looked over, and Du Ze omitted the dangerous words: "He said that if I help him do something, he will give it to me."
"What is that thing?"
Du Ze was silent. Will he tell the master that it was the doujinshi that was about to be stripped naked?
Fortunately, Xiu did not ask further, but turned to another question: "What did he want you to do?"
"…convince you to act."
Xiu stood by the window, the sunlight casting a fine halo on her delicate face.
"Do you want me to do it?" Xiu said, "Then just tell me what you want."
——Until I become all your desires.
Xiu's voice was obviously very cold, but it revealed an indescribable temptation. Du Ze blurted out at that moment: "I want you to act."
In the sunlight, Xiu's thin lips seemed to be slightly raised. He walked over and gently put his hand on the back of Du Ze's neck.
"As you wish."
The next day, Enoch finally met his savior at the Starlight Art Troupe. The moment he saw Xiu appear, the thief almost cried for joy.
"Are you willing to act? Are you willing? Are you willing?"
Hugh did not answer Enoch immediately. Instead, he asked, "Why did you take him away?"
Following Xiu's direction, Enoch saw Du Ze. Fearing that Xiu would get angry and leave, Enoch quickly explained: "This is a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I have a friend who has been looking for him. When you rushed over, I was panicked and took your companion away..."
"Who is looking for him?" Xiu's voice was calm, but Du Ze felt like running away for some reason.
"A friend of mine, his name is Eric." As if to avoid misunderstanding, Enoch began to speak for Eric: "Eric has no ill intentions. I can feel that he has a good impression of your companion."
"Eric... huh..."
Du Ze silently took several steps back. He felt in his heart that Xiu now regarded Eric as his lifelong enemy - don't ask him why!
Enoch, who had been keeping a low profile, continued, "When you meet Eric, you'll know that he's a very nice guy. Eric has left for something now, but he said you can meet him at the weapons competition. I can introduce him to you then."
At this moment, Du Ze realized that it wasn't that he was the one being shot, but that Enoch was a professional at betraying his teammates!
Du Ze watched in horror as Xiu nodded expressionlessly in agreement, while Enoch, the fool, had no idea that he had betrayed his teammates, and happily led them to meet the leader of the Starlight Art Troupe. The leader was also very excited after seeing Xiu, and at Enoch's instigation, he actually wanted to challenge the difficult drama that no one had been able to perform well so far. The Starlight Art Troupe had already prepared everything, except for a suitable protagonist.
The most important thing for a play is to make the audience feel involved. In fact, the requirements for acting skills in "Cecil" are not high. The difficulty lies in finding a "Cecil" that can amaze all the audience. Note that all the audience, that is, men, women, young and old, must think that the "Cecil" in the play is beautiful. Everyone is intoxicated by the beauty of "Cecil", so when "Cecil's" lover appears, if even the audience becomes jealous, the play will be truly interpreted.
The leader of the Starlight Art Troupe wanted to cry now. He finally found the ideal protagonist. The silver-haired elf in front of him was already stunning even without makeup. After makeup, they would definitely see a real "Cecil". He could guarantee with his acting career that this elf would definitely drive all the audience crazy, but...
Even if all the audience fell for Cecil, they would never feel jealous of Cecil's lover.
Because Cecil looks at his lover as if he were looking at a blade of grass.
Even the way he looked at his lover was problematic, not to mention the intimate scenes of kissing the heroine. The leader felt that he really needed a bottle of wine at this time. Many art troupes wanted to perform "Cecil" but got stuck in the first act. "Cecil" was not beautiful enough to amaze all the audience. He passed the first act easily, but got stuck in the second act when Cecil was with his lover. But this scene was the most critical: only by making the audience jealous of the lover, the following plot can make their jealousy turn into sympathy, and they will feel disappointed when they see the ending.
The other scenes were all passed, but the damn second scene was stuck. The team leader wanted to kneel down in front of Xiu and beg him: I don’t ask you to treat the heroine as a lover, can you at least treat her as a human being?
After learning about the leader's tragedy, Enoch hurried to find Xiu. Du Ze was watching from the sidelines. He saw that Enoch seemed to say something to Xiu, and then Xiu looked over here and replied with a word.
At that moment, Du Ze felt that he saw the most wonderful face-changing performance in the world from Enoch's face. The thief looked at Xiu in a daze, and finally showed an expression of risking everything, and ran to say something to the leader. Then Du Ze saw that the leader's face also changed into a variety of colors, which was very beautiful. Then, the leader also showed an expression of risking everything, and walked over with Enoch.
Du Ze suddenly had a bad feeling. He saw the two men coming up to him. Enoch and the leader both had friendly smiles on their faces.
"Hey, brother, can you please play the leading role in the second act?"
