Chapter 144: Western Fantasy 09 Is it necessary to help him so wholeheartedly? ...
Lu Huai was just glad that he was not an aggressive person, otherwise he might be dominated by the desire to get to the bottom of things.
He had to always remember that he needed to forget himself when acting, otherwise the cold alarm would remind him how ridiculous it was to expose himself when he was not fully confident.
Fortunately, as a character himself, his hesitation is reasonable.
After all, it was only when he and Jon arrived in such a new place that he dared to take off his hood. He had never before experienced exposing himself to so many people.
For Lu Huai, who kept his adoptive parents' instructions in mind, even with the Seino seal on his body as a protection, ordinary people could not see through him, so he had better remain vigilant - even though he was indeed a little curious about his human bloodline.
So his emotion only lasted for a short moment, and then he returned to his original avoidance.
In a huge square, white pigeons are leisurely flying across the sky. However, this time, they are no longer attracting the attention of residents as usual. They can even harvest a lot of food by just taking a stroll.
If they get too close to a certain area, they may even be driven away by strange humans wearing clothes whiter than their feathers, making the pigeons question their future lives.
The elemental test was still in full swing. One side was particularly quiet, while the other side was bustling with activity. Therefore, the crowds in one corner at this time were not actually noticeable.
However, the premise is that there is no eye-catching person among this group of people.
The region governed by the Duchy of Windsha is also known as Emmerel, meaning "City of Hope" in the common language. It is a human-led fiefdom under the protection of a divine temple, controlled by the Kingdom of Axi. However, due to its high regard for the divine court, it enjoys a remarkable degree of freedom.
So in addition to the dark race, all other light and neutral races are here. Looking around, there are humans, elves, orcs, goblins, and even dwarves who are not very common in the Middle Continent.
However, such a complex scene could not withstand the fame of the red-haired young man and those around him who were well-known in the area.
Through 0359's vision, Lu Huai could even see that Jon was secretly checking the operation of the panel.
Since the level has been raised, it seems that there is no limit to this authority, so the other party has become much more cautious and usually assesses the difference in strength between the "NPC" and himself before taking action.
Fortunately, no matter how omnipotent the game panel is, it cannot surpass the means of the gods, so the second male lead Lu Huai is spared from worrying about his identity being exposed, and he successfully gets along with the original protagonist and lives in peace.
As long as he doesn't dance in front of the God of Light Lance, Lu Huai is confident that he can survive.
When Jon saw Xu Rui's character panel, which seemed to have pretty good stats, the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
He remembered that the promotional video showed a scene where a talented fire magician competed with others, but if it was this guy who looked kind but had a red name, then it might not be a good thing.
But Xu Rui was not sad because he saw the change.
Lu Huai was unaware of this, and in the eyes of others, he unconsciously leaned forward slightly as Qiao En blocked him firmly behind him.
Although he was still dodging, his gaze at Xu Rui was like clear pond water being stirred by a stone, causing some ripples.
There is less strangeness and rejection, and more doubt.
Lu Huai also seemed to feel that he had no ill intentions, and that this was an act of the arrogant young man letting go of his pride.
He finally caught his eye, and he glanced at Jon with a provocative look. The corners of Xu Rui's mouth curved even wider.
Even if his purpose is not as pure as he said, the beautiful boy in front of him probably won't realize it.
A pure, untainted young treasure like him should have beautiful jingling pearls tied around his white ankles and then be hidden in a golden cage in the mansion.
Instead of entering the academy to fight and kill, her beautiful face turned pale with panic, blood dripping down her forehead, and her slender body trembling like a fallen leaf in the wind, seeking shelter.
Just thinking of this scene...Xu Rui secretly licked his dry lips and felt that it seemed to have a unique flavor.
While 0359 didn't have a one-click feature to read the character's mental journey, it was still a sophisticated system, chattering in the consciousness space. "That's right, Huai Huai. Don't trust him. This guy is a complete pervert."
"I guess he's not as good as the stupid son next to you."
As soon as Lu Huai finished receiving the small system complaint, he saw the red-haired young man in front of him glance at his watch, and the hand that was originally stretched out in front of him finally took it back tactfully.
The few followers who were angry but forced to calm down were also called up and told that it was time to collect the materials and register.
"Lu Huai, nice to meet you, see you at Yato!"
Xu Rui passed by Qiao En very easily, smiled brightly at Lu Huai, and then led the people around him over.
Lu Huai himself didn't know why the other party was so sure that he would be selected, and even said such words to him intimately, which made him feel uncomfortable.
The other party said it as if... he wanted to get to know him...
Furthermore, he still didn't know whether his parents, whom he had never met, were related to the Huaxia country that Xu Rui mentioned? Where did his name come from?
"Qiao, it seems you are in the same group as them. The broadcast just said that we need to go sign for it."
Lu Huai patted Jon on the back.
The blond young man was thinking of a hundred ways to beat up those annoying little nobles in the academy in the future, and only then did he realize that he had put this matter behind him.
Upon hearing this, he rushed out like a sword released from a bow.
Jon went to get something, and Lu Huai regained his peace of mind, but he was very uneasy because of the constant broadcasting sound.
The results were continuously announced, and there were a few names that were not so unfamiliar. They seemed to be the same group of people as him who had been included in the candidate list just now. They were screened in the second round and included in the college's pre-admission list.
I just read it one by one, and he was not in it.
Lu Huai stood there blankly, but the light in his eyes seemed to have been taken away by the wind, and they were dim and lifeless.
Is it true that he really has no chance to learn magic?
"Hey, let me see, where did that little succubus come from that's looking so dejected?"
Suddenly, someone patted him on the back, and the identity that came out of his mouth was the one he had tried his best to hide. When Lu Huai turned around, cold sweat caused by nervousness had already appeared on his forehead.
The moment he saw the true face, he was stunned.
He was a plain-looking man in his thirties. Lu Huai was sure that he had never spoken to him before.
A strange face...a strange voice...But this person could communicate with him without opening his mouth, he was transmitting sound.
He also used a familiar tone.
Lu Huai relaxed almost immediately, but this frightening behavior filled his beautiful eyes with anger.
"Do you know this is scary?"
Lu Huai's mind was working very quickly just now. He thought about everything, even how he would respond if the other party gave him conditions.
He originally wanted to give a certain god a hard punch, but because the other party had controlled the consciousness of an unknown poor person, the kind-hearted Lu Huai could only make a verbal accusation.
"Oh, I was wrong."
"But, Lu, you're so smart, I knew you could recognize me."
Facts have proved that the trick of giving a slap and then a sweet date does not work on Lu Huai, and the middle-aged man's shrugging and "surrendering" look is not cute, so naturally, he only received the beauty's cold gaze.
Seno also honestly let go of this unlucky possessed object.
After the man regained consciousness, he had no idea what had just happened. He was met with the unhappy expression of a beautiful young man who looked like Narcissus in the myth.
Obviously, this was an honest man. He thought he had bullied Lu Huai for no reason. After being confused for a while, he hurried away while apologizing.
Obviously, this matter had nothing to do with Lu Huai, but he felt a pang of guilt in his heart.
At this time, 0359 wisely kept silent and reduced his presence, and the gorgeous voice of Sero himself rang in his mind.
"Hiss, I thought a guy with a good soul would also be good-looking. I swear, I really didn't mean to poison your eyes, little Lu Huai."
Lu Huai rolled his eyes in his heart and didn't really want to bother with this dramatic god.
Sino is trying hard to restore its image: "Actually, I wanted to come here to announce the good news..."
Lu Huai was just wondering what else he could be happy about when he heard a familiar name read out on the radio and his eyes widened.
"Candidate No. 1081, huai, lu."
As if in a dream, Lu Huai saw many people around him who had just glanced at him but didn't have the courage to approach him and talk to him, now saying to him enthusiastically: "Congratulations!" "I knew you would be selected because you were so bright just now!"
In the bustling crowd, he was sent to the back of the line. He saw Jon, holding something, happily squeezing aside people who were stuffing business cards or introducing themselves to him. He acted more exaggerated than anyone else, as if he wanted to hug him and run around the square ten times while cheering.
Lu Huai covered his mouth happily and embarrassedly before giving up.
Jon didn't know if it was because of excessive exercise that the heat rose up, and his fair cheeks turned red. His whole body suddenly became strangely straight, and the movement that had been clinging to him like an octopus just now retracted.
The elf calmed down, but Lu Huai was not liberated.
He knew that Seno had not left, so he asked a question that he had wanted to ask when he was confused about the test.
"Light element affinity, are you helping me?"
Seno was indeed still there. Lu Huai heard him say "hmm" and then added in a low voice, "It's just a piece of cake to cross a broken stone."
That familiar nonchalant tone suddenly changed to a serious tone in a hurry, and the voice became louder:
"It's okay, it's over, don't think too much about it."
"Since you've made it in, study hard and do what you want to do."
"Lu, you know I will hold you in high esteem. No one can shake your position. That's enough. I will also avenge you. No one can bully my people..."
"When the time comes, I want to see how interesting that old man's expression will be when he finds out that you're mine."
The string of words came out like a string of cannonballs, and he lived up to the nickname "Chatterbox God" that Lu Huai gave him.
He actually felt a little awkward because he felt that Seno seemed to have given him a little too much, and it didn't seem like pure exploitation. Sometimes he even communicated with him more than Jon who was busy with his mission.
Lu Huai thought that the god in charge of darkness had finally revealed his terrifying side - he controlled people's hearts, which seemed to have given him an illusion that the relationship between them was not pure exploitation.
Even...
"Friends...?"
He couldn't help but cover his warm heart and ask himself.
