In the morning, the floating island of Babylon faded from the night and woke up in the bright sun. Millions of nobles rushed to the streets, occupying all major traffic arteries early, so when Allen was sitting in an extended Magic Speed car prepared for him, he could see through the window The grand occasion of the first arrival at the floating island reappeared.
People cheered and cheered on both sides of the highway, and two steamships over the city kept replaying Allen's wonderful scenes in the death ring. Whenever the Yanyue released by Allen against Ans was played, it would evoke a scream of the girl.
When the speeding car drove onto Golden Wing Street and headed towards Liming Square, tens of thousands of white pigeons were released. A group of white birds rushed into the blue sky, circled around the square, and then flew to other places on the floating island. As soon as the pigeon flock left, five frigates dragged the smoke of various colors across the sky, staggered and rotated over the square, and after making various thrilling flight movements, they lined up in a row, soared into the sky and disappeared. Above the clouds!
Following the sound of the band playing music from the direction of the square, the passionate war song made people echo. For a time, Babylon's music shook the sky and the atmosphere was warm.
Alan was stunned secretly, never thought that the award ceremony for the winners of the death ring would be so grand. At this time, Tonysev, who was sitting next to him, came over several pages: "My dear, you have 10 minutes to remember the lines above. These are all meticulously designed for you, and they will definitely win the audience. Cheers."
Tonisf said confidently, Allen shook his head helplessly, picked up the lines and looked at it. Fortunately, his memory is amazing, and he is basically unforgettable. In less than 5 minutes, he has written down these words.
Dawn Square is a public area on Babylon and an iconic building constructed to commemorate the final victory of mankind in the Battle of Dawn. Dawn Square is the size of a gymnasium. In its central area, there are nine copper pillars. The copper pillars are respectively carved with the war stories of the nine human heroes in the Battle of Dawn. They are told to the people of later generations in the form of copper plate paintings. That epic past.
There is also an opera house in the square, and the award ceremony will be held on the open stage of the opera house. The magic fly drove Ellen and the two to the back of the theater, quietly entered the theater through the green channel, and then quietly came to the back/stage of the open-air stage.
When the magic clock in the square pointed to the eight o'clock position, the band stopped playing, and an abbot in fancy dress ran onto the open stage and immediately won the cheers of the audience below.
"Ladies of Babylon, I love you! Of course, I also respect every man present. So you can rest assured that the previous sentence is just a joke, and the witty Baggins will never give you a duel with me. Opportunity." The host used a witty opening remark to make the audience chuckle, and then said: "Everyone, I believe everyone is as excited as I am. Just last night, the 211th Death Stage quietly ended. This The winner of the second competition came from a very good young man in the 13th district on the surface."
"Speaking of this young man, I believe everyone is deeply impressed. Just when he first set foot on Babylon, his aristocratic temperament surprised us. And in the cruel game, he let us see It's courage and wisdom! Yes, he is Alan!" The host turned around fiercely and waved his hand in the direction of the back/stage: "Now, let us cheer with the most enthusiastic cheers, please win the new death ring Mr. Allen!"
"Allen!"
"Allen!"
"Allen!"
The unanimous voice of the audience resounded in the square. Tonisf pushed Alan: "Go, baby, let them cheer for you in the mood!"
Allen took a deep breath and walked out of the back/stage with a fighting mood and stepped onto the outdoor stage. When he saw it from the stage, his eyes were on the battlefield with a dense crowd. The shocking scene made him speechless for a while. On each side of the square there is a huge screen, and Allen's figure clearly appears in it. When the camera zoomed in and gave Alan a close-up of his face, many girls screamed frantically at him.
Listening to the screams from the square, Tonysf closed his eyes intoxicated, as if he was now receiving a warm welcome instead of Alan.
The host made a "quiet" gesture with his hand, and then called Alan to his side and said: "Alan, I heard that you had a chance to leave, so you don't have to participate in this cruel competition?"
"Yes?"
"Then can you tell me, why are you standing here?"
"Because..." Allen's eyes flashed once again when his mother said goodbye: "Because, I want the opportunity to change my destiny. In this way, I have the power to do something. Some, very important. Matter!"
"What an amazing determination."
Next, the host raised some questions one after another, and Allen followed Tonisf's lines to announce the section. While reading the lines, Allen's mind had already flown to other places. This is nothing but a performance for him, and such a performance even disgusts him. But now he already knows that sometimes wonderful performances can make himself less resistance and more resources on the way forward.
So, he doesn't mind suppressing his little disgust and cooperating with these people to act out the images they want to see.
After the audience burst into cheers again and again, the award ceremony finally came to an end. Allen who wins the death ring will receive a rich reward from the federal government. Among them are a set of magic weapons, a high-level physical strengthening potion, 200,000 federal coins, and the right of residence on the floating island. All rewards are embodied in a small electronic magnetic card.
With this magnetic card, Allen can redeem his rewards at any time.
After the awards ceremony, there will be regular band performances and dancers to accompany the music, pushing the atmosphere to a climax once again. But at this time, there was nothing more to Alan on the stage. He put the redeemable magnetic card close to him, and when he stepped down with the host Baggins, the host, who seemed to be well-known in Babylon, also handed Alan a business card so that he could come to his company if he was interested. , Baggins pointed out that Allen has the potential to become a superstar, which is exactly the same as Tonisf.
It's just that Allen is not interested in being a screen star, and within 5 minutes of putting away the business card, he throws it into the trash can in the theater.
"Mr. Allen."
As soon as he returned to the back/stage, Alstai, who was talking to Tonisf, stopped him. The Chancellor of the Exchequer came over with a big belly, patted Alan on the shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Go, I will take you to meet someone."
Alstai led him across back to the stage and came to the Grand Theater. Opening the theater door, there was a dark area inside, and the minister pushed Alan in with his hands. He closed the door with a smile, and the darkness overwhelmed Allen.
After a brief period of darkness, a beam of spotlight fell on the stage of the theater, followed by the second and third... a total of five beams fell on the stage, and finally came together. So a figure appeared in the light, that slender and familiar back figure made Allen's heart beat.
"Lucy?" he called softly.
The man moved, then slowly turned around. At this moment, it was like a galaxy twinkling, like a magnificent nebula blooming the most extreme beauty to Allen. Lucy was dressed in full costume, and the golden Changan Gaowan was tied to a crown decorated with many precious stones. The graceful curve of the neck like a white swan extends downward, and it is the **** and seductive collarbone.
A necklace made up of stars and crescent-shaped gems adorns the chest that is too blank. The proud and straightened Shuangfeng **** were half exposed, and a shallow gully disappeared under the chest-wrapped dress. This robe is exquisite in workmanship, and outlines the beautiful curves of the girl, and the large ornate skirts are laid behind him, like a peacock with an open screen.
The background color of the long skirt is silver and white, and the light golden curve outlines the complex lines on it, forming a mysterious pattern. It looks like a starry sky and the Milky Way, on which it is dotted with large and small diamonds, and under the light it is shining like stars!
Even if Allen doesn't know the goods, he knows that the long skirt alone must be costly.
Lucy pulled the hem of her skirt and turned it slightly. Thousands of diamonds flicker on the skirt, like a thousand stars glowing and falling. The girl lightly smiled and said: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good, I can hardly recognize you." Allen nodded.
"That is to say, I don’t think this thing is my style, but the teacher wanted me to wear it. It's so uncomfortable!" Lucy said grinningly, and the noble image collapsed instantly, but Alan’s work was restored. Familiar look.
Lucy jumped off the stage very impersonally. At this time, all the lights in the theater were lit up one by one, illuminating the room as bright as daylight. Lucy shook her head, stretched out her hand to take off the luxurious crown, and let her blond hair fall like a stream of morning light. She shook the crown ornament on her hand and said: "You don't know how heavy this thing is. It's uncomfortable to wear it on your head."
Seeing her annoyed look, Allen finally couldn't help but smile.
This is the Lucy he knows, flying and jumping like a fire in July!
Lucy tossed the crown aside, walked up to Allen, and suddenly gave him a strong hug. Alan's heart suddenly missed a beat, and after a while, he closed his eyes and embraced the slender body.
"Ellen, actually...I'm not a human being on your planet." Lucy stretched out her hand, and pulled her long hair gently in her ears, revealing ears that are sharper and thinner than humans, just like the legend. Elf: "I am... the Idahua star."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I just need to know that you are Lucy." Allen let go of her, took two steps back, and said seriously.
Lucy nodded vigorously: "So, you don't think I am weird?"
"You are indeed strange." Allen laughed: "However, that has nothing to do with your identity."
Lucy shouted immediately: "Then you mean my character!"
Immediately, she laughed herself. Lucy smiled, then whispered softly: "I'm leaving."
A word, suddenly evoked a faint melancholy in Allen's heart.
