Volume 6 Agate Chapter 525: Carmen Joins the Team
"It seems that she was the one who triggered the non-stop update of version 2.1..."
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"What's wrong with Xiao Beizi? Was my encouragement not enough? He was overtaken by someone else... I'll teach him a lesson next time I see him."
Qingtian Xiaoyu suppressed her inner shock and carefully looked at the black-hatted gentleman in front of her. Apart from the golden name "Jackspeight" on his head, which symbolized that only heavyweight NPCs had, she could not see even a single bit of information about him.
At the same time, the dark black "certain death" danger warning on the panel makes people feel terrified.
"As expected of Mr. Jack, the 'Son of Version'... From the internal beta to now, the popularity of this NPC has remained high. He gives me the feeling that he is even more terrifying than Mage Carmen."
Sunny Day and Little Rain couldn't help but think.
"If the sisters in 'Little Silver Fox' knew that I was standing in front of Jack now, they would probably go crazy, right?"
Sunny and drizzly laughed inwardly.
In fact, she did not expect that her luck would become so good after the 2.0 version update... First, the "Little Silver Fox" guild she founded was noticed by the consortium behind the "Chuxi" guild and received considerable funding. With the support of resources, the number of members reached a new high and its reputation further fermented.
Even Qingtian Xiaoyu himself, due to an accident, became a transcendent in magic. Later, he completed an "A-level hidden series of tasks" in the Kingdom of Byron and was promoted to the middle sequence.
Her appearance had undergone a 180-degree change during that mission. The character image that she had originally created had since become history.
Fortunately, she looks pretty good now. Sunny Day and Little Rain are happy to be a cute girl.
A few days ago, she ran into Mage Carmen, and because of an unintentional little action, she won the favor of this high-ranking NPC... Before the excitement had even subsided, she was brought to the circus station that players dream of...
Brought to Mr. Jack!
Qingtian Xiaoyu is certain that this will be another great opportunity for him!
Chen Lun pretended not to notice the subtle expression on the female player's face, turned around, and introduced himself to everyone with a smile:
"Master Carmen will be a member of the team from now on. He is a saint like me, and you should show him due respect."
"This Lord of the Magical Path... is now a member of the circus?!"
Frey, Akbin and other Golden Cup Councillors looked at each other in disbelief. They knew very well what a high position a high-ranking person had in the mysterious field, and it was impossible for a general extraordinary organization to have a saint in charge.
Even the Council of Generosity, one of the Orthodox Churches today, has only nine Archons in addition to the Speaker.
The "circus" that was once unknown had developed to this day in just three years, and now had two high-ranking people! Apart from the Church of the Seven Gods, this strength was enough to rank among the top ten extraordinary forces in the empire!
Even more shocking is that...
The conversation between Mr. Jack and Master Carmen just now was not avoided by the public. The other party said "following and traveling for fifty years"... This means that His Majesty Carmen in front of him obeys Mr. Jack!
Even Noah, Maggie, Golov and others realized this in an instant and smiled with pride and expectation.
"Master Carmen, please come in."
Chen Lun put his hat back on and stretched out his hand towards inside.
The old wizard nodded slightly, carrying the huge canvas backpack, and followed Chen Lun along the path. Qingtian Xiaoyu also followed closely at Carmen's signal.
…
…
…
As usual, dinner was cooked by Floy herself.
After all, we are welcoming a person of high rank to join us. No matter what, due respect and courtesy are necessary. Such a warm reception can be considered grand.
Master Carmen was very satisfied with this. He frequently toasted to Floy at the dinner table and said that this dinner was the most high-standard banquet he had enjoyed in nearly a hundred years.
Everyone in the circus was extremely surprised. They didn't expect that His Majesty the Saint would give such a high evaluation... Even Floy showed a sincere smile and offered the old wizard a glass of wine in return.
Only Chen Lun, who was sitting in the main seat, laughed secretly.
This old bootlicker's so-called "nearly a hundred years" probably means he was either trapped in a painting and unable to move, or doing research in the Meteor Tower. How could he have time to eat a hot meal...
The last time I ate was probably when I just escaped from the mural world. I was sitting in the attic of the spire and eating a hard sandwich that had been there for who knows how long.
"Thank you all for your enthusiasm. It is only right that an old man like me should give you some welcome gifts..."
Master Carmen smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
He rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a dozen palm-sized mini stone sculptures, which he placed in a row on the table... These stone sculptures all looked like a mature woman, but their expressions and movements were slightly different.
"These are all small items I made in my spare time. They are all extraordinary items, engraved with several different seals and constant spells... They have the functions of cleaning, lighting, healing, blowing, and making water. Although they are not powerful things, they are quite convenient to use."
"Thank you for your gift, Master Carmen."
Chen Lun expressed his thanks at the right time.
He glanced at the statues and found, as he had expected, that they were all "figures" of Ms. Fredetri.
He thought to himself, Wow, I didn't know this old guy was so skillful. Those magic-related [sculptors] really should learn from him. They usually carve some weird and ugly things.
Then, Chen Lun instructed Connie to distribute the statues to each cadre. A moment later, everyone at the table, each playing with a mini statue, thanked the old wizard.
Connie returned to her seat and looked at her own mini She couldn't help but praise it:
"It looks really good! And it has so many magical effects... Mr. Carmen is so creative!"
"It's just some tricks."
Carmen wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a napkin and said with a smile.
Connie then asked:
"May I know who this beautiful woman is?"
Looking at her curious eyes, Carmen said proudly:
"This is my teacher, Ms. Frederic."
Originally, when the old wizard thought he would receive another round of praise, he found that the scene gradually became quiet and surprisingly dead silent. Everyone looked at the statue in their hands, then looked at him, revealing strange expressions.
Carmen's face turned red, but fortunately his white hair and beard concealed his embarrassment. He took a sip from the wine glass and coughed twice to show that he was full.
Chen Lun saw his predicament, so he suggested that they go to the church area together and exchange some knowledge about magic.
Carmen readily agreed.
After the two high-ranking people left, everyone was in an uproar. Ladies Connie and Maggie couldn't wait to whisper, with surprise on their faces.
Golov, Patton and Morey kept stern faces throughout the whole process and did not dare to talk about Master Carmen in private. After all, the other party was a His Majesty, and they had to show unequivocal respect to him.
Apart from Antonio and Noah, who were concentrating on eating, only Sunny Xiaoyu, who was sitting at the end of the guest seats, ate the delicious food silently from beginning to end, her eyes full of surprise...
"So this is the daily life of the circus members? So heartwarming... Miss Floy can also cook. She prepared this table full of delicious food by herself. Everything is delicious... In addition, I didn't expect that Master Carmen actually has a crush on his teacher! Is this the love of a high-ranking person..."
Her mind was full of thoughts, and soon she smiled to herself.
Qingtian Xiaoyu calmly opened the chat box and shared the video of herself participating in the circus dinner on the "Little Silver Fox" guild channel.
Before long, the channel, which had been relatively quiet, exploded.
"——Wow! I saw Mr. Jack! How come this man has become more handsome again? Could it be that he is the god of 'handsomeness and growth', and will he become more handsome as time goes by?!"
“——Hahahaha (laughing paralyzed)”
"——Where is this? Why are all of them circus executives..."
"——What a great atmosphere! Is this a realistic animation made by a fan? But it's too realistic..."
"——President Xiaoyu! Tell the truth, where are you now?!"
Comments came out one
Qingtian Xiaoyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and answered from time to time.
Seeing the surprise and envy of her fellow guild sisters, she felt indescribably happy.
