Chapter 329 The First Movement The Poem of Awakening (6): The Girl
Fan Ning's voice was hoarse and slow, but under the change of temperament, there was an inexplicable hint of sadness.

The flock of pelicans began to fly away, but a few were still persistently measuring his leg with their beaks.

After he stood up, the little girl realized that his shirt had been half-open, and his trousers and leather shoes were also seriously deformed, rotten and soaked in sea water and salt.

There is no way to see that this prototype is a formal suit.

"Sir, you seem to have experienced great danger not long ago, such as a shipwreck or robbery or something..."

She stood up and patted the gravel on her skirt, and switched to the same Janus language as Fanning, with a slightly jerky wording: "At first I thought you were a little uncomfortable, lying there resting, or something Maybe teasing them to play..."

Both Lange and Janus are the official languages ​​of the Southern Continent, but relatively speaking, most civilians are used to communicating in Lange in oral language, and Janus is more used in written texts or literary creations .

After Fanning listened to her answer, he looked around the environment around him again.

This is not a remote area, the silhouette of the town on the beach can be vaguely seen, and there are some children playing and playing in the distance, as well as parasols stretched on the white sand.

"It is true that there was an accident during the journey, but it is strange that no life was lost."

"So, did you see how I floated here? What happened next?"

Fanning asked again, staring at her again.

The little girl shook her head, her voice was as clean as after washing with clear water: "I just came to the beach from the town, and saw a group of pelicans resting here, and when I got closer, I found a figure lying in the middle, and then I heard You signaled that I don't have to come..."

You should thank the Pelicans.Fan Ning nodded calmly.

She didn't seem to notice Fanning's hidden meaning of scrutiny, and she didn't realize that if her answer was wrong, she might encounter unexpected treatment. Her tone gradually carried a hint of yearning:

"Sir, are you a troubadour who comes from afar and is well-informed? They tend to receive more gifts from the 'Fragrant Poets', and the 'good luck' after suffering an accident should also be counted as one of them. "

Troubadour?Such a tendentious temperament change?Fan Ning shook his long hair that was too messy by the sea breeze.

However, the little girl's question gave him an idea.

I broke into the Southern Continent inexplicably, and it is impossible to completely separate from society and be isolated from the world, especially if I want to obtain some convenience for investigating clues, the first thing I need to solve is the issue of identity.

The most conventional way of thinking is to "make a false certificate".

If he had come prepared, with Fan Ning's previous status as a network, it would be easy to concoct a seamless set of identities, but the incident happened suddenly, without any connection, and his strength had not fully recovered, and he didn't even have a penny on him.
Even if you act cautiously and step by step, the fake identities you concoct may have loopholes, big or small. Although the household registration system here is not as perfect as in the North Continent, the group of people who miss you is not easy.
In particular, it is inevitable that I will also engage in music activities.

And the special group of troubadours, in the religious and cultural environment of this vast and sparsely populated country, is considered to be the closest seeker and seeker of the image of the Lord of Witness "Fanghui Poet", especially those who possess him. The "authentic" troubadours who bless the emblem will be provided with convenience by the various branches of the church, and princes and nobles will even scramble to provide asylum.

After a rough analysis, Fan Ning decided to create such an identity, and then find a way to obtain the blessing emblem of "Fanghui Poet".

This not only has a high religious and social status, but also the special attribute of "wandering and traveling" is a natural barrier. There is no centralized management or filing, and the problem that it is difficult to accurately trace the past experience is only reasonable for troubadours. .

It is undoubtedly the best solution.

At this time, he noticed that when the little girl was asking questions, she first looked at his face, but then her gaze stayed on his right hand.

He raised his right hand, and a special, soft and resilient lavender string was wrapped around his wrist.

It was the girdle that Joan had given her.

It is really an extraordinary string. Judging from the thickness, it is the D string representing the "key" phase, and it is not a violin.

"My guitar has been lost into the sea, with the music it played in its lifetime." So Fanning gently raised his wrist to show that it was a remnant string.

Such an answer is obviously noncommittal.

"Romantic and poignant ending." The little girl's comment made Fanning couldn't help but take a closer look at her.

Then, after receiving an affirmative answer, her expression became anticipation and admiration: "Mr. Poet, do you mind telling me, what's your name?"

She solemnly stepped forward and bowed to Fanning: "I am Luna Chrétien."

Fanning stared at her movements, and his tone was still deep and melancholy:
"You can call me Scheler."

"Ah! What a very iconic name!" Luna's pale pink eyes flashed with dreamy longing, "It sounds like a troubadour, not some other strange profession! It's an honor to meet you, Mr Scheele."

The little girl adjusted her dress, put her feet together, and bowed again.

Fan Ning didn't pick up the words, but directly put on a questioning tone:

"You don't seem to be a local, and your family background is not ordinary."

In this old industrial world, civilian children are far less mature than the modern society of Blue Star in their previous life, both in terms of psychological growth and physical development.But Fan Ning has long been keenly observing that this little girl's behavior and expression skills are much better than those of her ignorant peers, although her maturity and vigilance are still not as good as adults.

The silver veil skirt on her body, the blood-colored jade bracelet on her wrist, the exquisite little black umbrella she holds, and the ivory buttoned leather boots on her feet. These accessories are not like ordinary family can have.

And after the initial recovery of spiritual sense, Fan Ning noticed a total of three spaced gazes.

During the conversation between the two, it was cast from a certain crowd in the distance.

Maybe a role like a guard.

"I am indeed not a local." Luna told the news frankly, "The Chretien family is one of the members of the Chamber of Commerce of the city-state of Misin, and our 'Flower Ceremony' supplier team is only staying in the port of Barkrizo For a few days, they were on that street, and you see, there were still hired workers enjoying the shade."

She pointed to the inward direction of the beach, a few rows of palm trees in the distance blocked the small town behind, and there were a dozen or so dotted figures under the trees, and it seemed that the walking distance would not exceed 10 minutes.

"The supplier caravan of 'Flower Ceremony'" Fan Ning suddenly understood.

Although the beach in this port town is quite popular, if you meet a little girl in expensive clothes looking at the sea alone, it is somewhat unusual. The guard's sense of gaze also came from that direction.

He knew what "flower etiquette" meant.

Any qualified knowledgeable person has extensive knowledge far beyond that of ordinary people. Apart from basic things such as mysticism, linguistics and history, knowledge of humanities and geography around the world is also included. The "Flower Ceremony" is the most grand and grand festival for the ordinary people here and for the church's official organization of knowledgeable people.

From this point of view, the Chretien family that this little girl with albinism belongs to is at least a small-scale wealthy businessman in Misin City—it can provide celebration materials for such grand events as the "Flower Ceremony", even if it is only a part Can bring very considerable profits and social status.

"...But Mr. Poet." Luna seemed to see what Fanning was thinking, she put the coconut she drank a few sips on the ground, and continued to speak softly, "You may guess, My position in the family is very insignificant."

"Due to well-known reasons, the 'discolored ones' are considered to be creatures that even the 'Fragrant Poet' with many gifts can't touch, because what flows in our bodies is 'helpless blood'."

"Every year during the 'Flower Ceremony', the people of the southern kingdom will be immersed in the pursuit of the poet's fragrance and inspiration, but for me, just the midsummer sun shining like this may kill me instead."
