[Notre Dame de Paris] Papal Way

For every good citizen who abides by the law, the appearance of the gypsies is a huge disaster.They wear strange clothes, have unscrupulous eyes, steal children, cheat property, and refuse to believe in God, offering sacrifices to the devil.No decent person would like these guys!

This is almost all "decent people"'s perception of gypsies, but the fact is that homeless people quickly integrated into Paris and got along like ducks in water in this historic capital.Under the leadership of those partners in the Black Talk Kingdom, they even quickly found the most suitable places to do business.The river beach square next to Notre Dame Cathedral is one of them, where people come and go in Paris.

This square is an irregular square, facing the river on one side and surrounded by buildings on three sides.In the center of the square stands the gallows and the column of shame, on the east side is the merchant's hall, and in the darkest corner stands a bell tower, which is the living tomb built by the famous Madame Rolande in memory of her father. .

The transportation here is convenient, extending in all directions, and it is always lively no matter day or night. It is understandable that the Egyptians would choose such a place to appear.And those exotic music and dances also made Parisians very curious. In just a few days, the homeless people became famous in Paris.

Emerald is very fond of dancing, but Ace has little interest in this kind of activity.And after he has the identity of "Doctor George", the homeless people are also paying attention to his protection, trying to reduce the number of times outsiders see him.After all, the body shape and appearance can be changed, but Ace's temperament is too special. If he is recognized by others, it will be a big trouble.

However, a little surprise happened today.Just after lunch, Ace heard a knock on the door.When I opened the door, it was the three cousins ​​who were as close as triplets standing outside.

"Hi," the boy standing in the middle raised his hand shyly, beckoning to his ear, "Long time no see, Emerald..."

Ace put away the thick copy in his hand, turned around and let them in: "What's the matter?"

"Don't be so cruel, Emerald, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Halimu said, imitating the resentful tone vividly, "Let me think about it, how long has it been since you appeared by the campfire? "

"One month, two months, or three months?"

"Poor Ohana's eyes are swollen from crying!"

"Beautiful Susan has been wandering the court of wonders in her best dress for three days straight."

The three brothers sang and talked in unison, paying attention to Ace's expression.Seeing that Ace was completely indifferent, and even showed a look of impatience, they changed the subject in a tacit cooperation.

"Hi! Speaking of which, our lovely aunt—"

"That's right, Aunt Goode."

"Did she marry a fat man yesterday?"

"Nonsense! It's obviously a soldier with a broken leg!"

Ace's lips twitched.After spending so much effort to attract his attention, what exactly are they trying to do?

He stretched out one hand to support his chin, and said lazily: "What do you want to say?"

"The Baroness Goode is married!"

"She's your adoptive mother, Ace."

"So?" Ace asked.

"Shouldn't you say something?"

After Halimu finished speaking, he showed a flattering expression: "We don't need too much."

"I just need you to go to the river beach square with us tonight."

"Take your sweet lamb for a show."

"We've got enough business to do!"

The door of the bedroom was dinged open, the little goat timidly stuck out its head, looked at Ace with big pure eyes, and let out a soft "baa".

Ace was angry and funny, no wonder when he picked up the beauty from the priest last night, he saw Halimu three squatting in front of her to lure her with green leaves: "What business are you going to do?"

"Oh, dear Emerald, you know there will always be people who are willing to spend money on pets." Hakemu blinked slyly and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a horse or a dog, they are always smarter than people. What an honor to go out with a beautiful, lovely and intelligent lady like Jiali!"

"..." It is indeed very face-saving, but in the hands of Christians, it is the grace of God, but in the hands of Gypsies, it is a trick played by the devil.Ace was speechless for a while, then nodded.

He will understand such a truth, and Halimu will not understand it.Knowing that this is still the case, it is obvious that there is a corresponding solution.Whether it was their own idea or not, it wasn't Ace's concern anymore.

In the evening, Ace followed them to the River Beach Plaza.First, a bonfire was lit in the open space, and several beautiful girls spread a blanket on the ground, and they took turns beating on tambourines to dance on it.Although there was always disdain on their lips, the citizens of Paris still praised them very much, and soon a large crowd gathered around the open space to watch their performance.

Ace came out today as himself, and of course he didn't wear a cloak.Little Sheep Belle stood beside him.She was well dressed up today, with a golden bell hanging around her neck, her hooves and horns were dyed gold, and she bleated from time to time.The pair of hostesses were particularly eye-catching in the crowd. While watching the dance of the gypsy girls, the citizens whispered about what they did.

The dancing girls finished their performance, but in no hurry to collect money, they exited the venue.Halimu and the others had already said hello and asked them to help with a performance.At this moment, Ace bent down and patted the lamb's head, and walked to the campfire together.

Although Jiali is only two years old, she is very smart.The priest has also trained her in the past two years, such as teaching her to understand human speech and recognize numbers.Although Ace felt that this kind of behavior was meaningless, he had to say that it felt quite good to have an understanding pet.

He pushed the gypsy girl's tambourine to the lamb and said, "Belle, what month is it?"

Tutankhamun, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, suddenly let out a sneer in his consciousness, and mockingly said: "Purchasing with a goat on the street? If the Eye of Horus could know, it would definitely cry."

Ace lowered his eyes slightly, and counterattacked unceremoniously: "Even you are mine, what can the Eye of Horus have?"

Tutankhamun was speechless for a moment, and it took a long time before he let out a cold snort angrily.

At this time, the little goat had accurately reported the current month, which won a burst of amazement from the surrounding audience.Ace continued to ask, "Belle, what time is it?"

Of course, it is impossible for Jiali to read the clock, but she can understand the gestures of Halimu and the others behind her.So he looked around for a while, bleated, and beat seven times on the tambourine.

And at the same time she finished knocking, a loud bell sounded from the clock tower.The exclamation suddenly became more loud, and it was the first time people saw such a spiritual animal.

Some people said incredulously: "This is impossible, it must be some kind of witchcraft! How could a goat know the time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young and strong arm wrapped around his neck.Halim's smile is very affectionate: "Do you want to have such a pet in your home, sir? The adults of the Holy See will guarantee it, just try it!"

Ace was teasing the little goat, and was about to let her perform again, but suddenly the hairs on his back rose, as if he was being stared at.He suddenly turned his head and stood up, but he didn't see anyone in the direction of his gaze.

No, that person is still there... And this look is very familiar, he must have seen it somewhere before!

Ace handed the lamb to Hakim, hurried through the crowd, and walked to the intersection not far away.The gaze came from a high place, that person must not have gone far!The only thing that could clearly see the River Beach Square was Notre-Dame Cathedral and the houses on the opposite side. If he guessed correctly, the owner of the black skirt he saw when he first entered Paris was the one who spied on him this time!

That person must be related to Emerald's life experience, maybe the person who sent him away... If Bashir's memory is correct, that person should be a priest.Priests are indeed wearing black robes, maybe that person is hiding in Notre Dame...

The bell tower of Notre Dame was shrouded in darkness, and it was hard to see if anyone was there.That gaze has also disappeared, as if what I felt before was just an illusion of Ace...

Ace slowed down, feeling suspicious.Abandonment originally represented the severance of a relationship. If the person watching him on the city wall was really the priest who threw away the emerald, why did he pay so much attention to the news of the child he abandoned?But if not that person, who was looking at him?Such a cold gaze...

Suddenly, another bunch of eyes focused on Ace.Ash suddenly raised his head and looked to the right—but it was too late when he raised his head. The other party noticed his actions and turned around and walked into the room from the balcony. Only a piece of black clothes was out of Ace's sight across.

Could it be this family... Ace slowly raised the corners of his lips, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door.
