Fast Transmigration: Black Raiders

Chapter 40 The Singer of the Slums 2

The news that Ariel had obtained three competition places from the nobles quickly spread throughout the slums, and cheers erupted in every corner.The three consuls came to Ariel's house and gave them precious medicinal materials, which was the most precious gift for Ariel.

The three consuls in the slums represent three attitudes:

Mr. Alexandra, who is nearly a hundred years old, is wise and magnanimous, supporting and encouraging young people to go out from here. Although he never explained the reason, Ariel believes that this wise man is thinking about the future of the slums;

The opposition Mr. Amos is hostile to people outside the district. His child was the first young man to leave the slum more than ten years ago. Before leaving, he vowed to let the common people and nobles see the glory of the slum , however later he was lost and Mr. Amos believed that his child had been killed;

Ms. Catherine, the only female consul, also disagrees with the radical romantic ideas of young people. Although she does not have strong malice towards people outside the wall, she still advocates vigilance and is committed to building the slums into a utopia suitable for people to survive.

Therefore, only Alexandra was the one who really came to congratulate Ariel this time. The old man touched his head and showed a gentle smile, looked at the person lying on the bed and said, "Ariel, Ross looks much better." gone."

Ariel fluttered his long black eyelashes like butterfly wings, his beautiful blue eyes were clear and clean, and he looked at the old man gratefully: "Thanks to the medicine you sent last time, Grandpa Alexandra."

The old man smiled: "Amos bought those medicines from people in the black market, maybe you should thank him."

Ariel turned his head, looked at the serious and indifferent Amos, blinked his eyes, and showed a big smile like a sunflower: "Thank you, Mr. Amos."

Amos snorted coldly, muttered and cursed something.

"Ariel, I understand your desire to take Rose out of the slums to see a doctor, but you know, maybe the people outside don't have good intentions for us." Catherine's emerald-like beautiful eyes were full of worry, "You understand, even though the safe zone It can't bring you a long life, but it can protect you from malice and deceit." The safe area is what people here call the slums.

Ariel smiled brightly: "I know. But curing my father's illness is the common wish of my mother and I. I want him to open his eyes and take a look at me. He has been asleep for nine years, which is long enough." gone."

Catherine was silent, quietly looking at her friend's child.Nine years ago, Ross fell into a coma, and the doctors were helpless. Ariel's mother heard that there was a cure outside the wall, and she also participated in the singing competition like Ariel, but she never returned. Ariel, who was nearly seven years old, For the same purpose, Er secretly asked the doctor to perform a castration operation to remove the testicles without telling her, so as to maintain a clear and sweet singing voice.

When Catherine arrived, Ariel was lying on the hospital bed, his face was as pale as if he had died, his dazzling blond hair was wetly stuck to his cheeks, his eyes were amazingly bright, and he forced a smile towards her, as bright as lilacs in spring burning eyes.

Catherine hugged him tremblingly, choking silently.From then on, this boy will be as dazzling as a match struck in the dark, but also as short-lived as a match.

People in the Muller family have inexhaustible passion and enthusiasm like the sun, but they are ruthless to themselves.

When Amos and Catherine left, Alexandra stayed to talk to him, her eyes shining with wisdom were full of gentleness, and she stared at him deeply: "Ariel, good boy, you know Catherine and the others You are right, the people outside the wall are indeed hostile to us. I can't stop every young soul, but I don't want you to be hurt." The old man once said this to everyone who was about to leave, including Airi Er's mother.Danger and hope are born with each other, and the scorching temperature cannot be ignored just because you see the sun.

Ariel's indistinguishable face is pure and frank: "Grandpa, I understand that the safe zone is packed in a glass bottle. The nobles hold it in their hands and play with it, and it has the destructive power to break it at any time. Our predecessors People go out from here one after another, hoping to bring good news to those who are waiting here, and I am the same. Not only for my father and mother, but also for everyone who lives here, for the selfless Mount Alves and safety District pride."

Alexandra was stunned, and it took a long time before she smiled, the kindness and sadness in her eyes almost flowed from her old eyes.Yes, for a long time he supported everyone who chose to leave, and pinned hope on them. 200 years have made people yearn for the world outside the wall, forgetting that it was those people who locked them here at the beginning, the marigolds bloom year after year, the wall is getting stronger and stronger, even the people in the black market It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain outside information and resources.Ease is just an appearance, this place is not impenetrable, every night he seems to be sleeping on the glass, and he will be woken up in a dream at any time.

At night, Alexandra was awakened by a dream again, and climbed sleeplessly to the highest tower.The wall was higher than the tower, and the people were all asleep, with only a starry sky imprisoned above their heads looking coldly at it from a distance.

His homeland, their safe zone.

He looked at the mountains in the distance, his gray hair and beard blowing in the cold wind.

Great and fraternal Alves, dear mother, please bless these lovely children.

The method of selecting contestants in the slums is very simple. Those who are interested in participating in the competition are invited to the conference hall. The [-] councilors who were elected to be in charge of governing that year will remove the immediate family members within three generations of the contestants. The rest will have the right to vote, and the public can watch on the spot Candidates are responsible for supervision.

Ariel successfully completed the candidates and won the right to participate with the No.1 result. No.2 is a girl in her twenties named Betty, and No.3 is a teenager named Benson .Ariel's friend Gary lost the election. Although he was disappointed, Ariel was very excited to be selected.

In a few days, an airship will come to the square outside the conference hall to pick up the contestants.

Ariel and Gary went to the hut they built with wood by the pond, and enjoyed a rich meal in their secret base-bread and bacon that Gary brought from home.

"Ariel, I have a hunch that you will be the one to frighten those stupid nobles!" Gary clenched his fists and swallowed the bread with the milk.His uncle is the missing son of Amos. Under the influence of Amos, he hates people outside the wall.

Ariel raised his chin proudly: "I will let those people see the light of the safe zone, and one day, I will let them tear down this wall with their own hands."

Gary looked at his friend adoringly: "Okay! I'll wait for you here!"

The two clapped their hands together as an oath, looked at each other and laughed.

Ariel returned home, helped his father change the dirty clothes, took a bath and used new medicine, coaxed his unconscious father to feed him, went to the yard to wash clothes after work, and finally hung the clean clothes on the drying rack.

The sky was getting dark, he stretched his waist and yawned and was about to go back to the house, when he caught a glimpse of a light flashing in the sky from the corner of his eye.He raised his head immediately, there was nothing in the dark blue sky full of stars, the breeze was blowing, and only the faint sound of insects could be heard.

Ariel shook his head, took a step, and suddenly bumped into a hard chest.He raised his head, and a valiant woman in armor looked down at him and smiled...

……

Ariel never thought that a woman could be as fierce as the man in front of him. He just turned around and ran away when the man twisted his arms and pulled him back. He unreasonably covered his mouth with a cloth and tied him tightly with a rope. , carrying him somehow avoiding everyone and striding away, and finally threw him into a carriage.

Ariel twisted his body, his head was dizzy, and he felt weightless.The hunting wind blew up the curtains of the car, and he stared wide-eyed in horror as the horses with cold iron wings flapped their wings and flew up, and flew higher and higher, crossing the high wall as fast as lightning.

He was shivering from the cold wind, the woman sitting outside the carriage glanced back at him, pressed a button, and with a swipe sound, an unknown silver translucent film fell from the car door and window, blocking the incoming traffic wind.

He took a few deep breaths, reminded himself to calm down, then swallowed, twisted his body and climbed to the window of the car to look out - the wind rolled the golden curtains of the car, and there was still a vast starry sky above his head, but there was no night under the carriage In the sky, the star-like lights are like the Milky Way, and when the carriage is moving, the golden river seems to be flowing.

Ariel took a deep breath in amazement, his eyes widened.This is the city!It turns out that the Nightless Inn written in the book, which is brighter than the night sky, really exists!He couldn't close his eyes, and stared down in amazement and novelty, until the carriage suddenly descended, a strong sense of weightlessness struck again, and his heart beat violently.As if the carriage was about to plunge into a huge river, it swooped down recklessly, Ariel closed his eyes reflexively, and the exclamation was drowned in his throat.

boom.

The landed carriage bounced a few times on the ground and slid forward quickly.Ariel rolled forward, but was blocked by the silver film and hit the car wall.

He wailed in pain, opened his eyes and the car curtain was rolled up, the film had been put away, the woman who kidnapped him tilted her head in doubt when she saw his miserable state, and took off the cloth in his mouth.

"pain?"

Ariel stared at her angrily: "You can try it and you will know if it hurts or not."

The woman shrugged innocently: "Fragile poor." She hugged him, ignored his moans, and untied the rope on his body, "If you didn't want to escape, I wouldn't have tied you up."

Ariel puffed his face, could it be his fault?

"My name is Anis. Go in later, don't ask anything, just sing well and I'll send you back, do you hear me?" The woman held him in her arms and walked in with ease.

Ariel blushed in embarrassment, looking around.Here is a wide grassland, not far from a lake, a golden carriage parked by the lake, fortunately Annis did not drive the carriage into the river.The majestic and majestic Gothic castles in front of one piece, flickering in the darkness, like a pearl inlaid there.

Annis walked in with him in her arms, passing by respectful servants, and Ariel heard them call her "General".Anis walked sharply and quickly, and finally stopped in front of a closed temple door, bent down and whispered something to the servant guarding the door, and the servant saluted and opened the door for her.

Anis looked at Ariel: "Go in, and come out after singing three songs."

"Aren't you going in?" Ariel felt that she was not malicious, and was unaware of her fledgling complex.

"No, I'll wait for you here."

Ariel glanced at her hesitantly, stepped in, and the palace door slowly closed behind him.
