Alien world

Chapter 1442 76. Dragon Choir

"Oh……"

The ladies on the second floor sighed in unison.

Bean stood there. He had only taught Ruth to say how pitiful she was, but she didn't know he would say that. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.

"I agree to be your 'mom' even if you don't pass," he said.

"Really?" Ruth's big eyes lit up.

"real."

"Well, can I go down now?" Ruth was about to run off the stage.

Fortunately, Bean did not forget his business and quickly asked Ruth to stay. He asked Ruth to say this to impress the judges, but he ended up impressing himself instead: "But I would be even happier if you performed well."

The judges also echoed: "Ruth, please start your singing."

"Oh……"

Bean faced the front of the stage and took a deep breath.

A child's voice, pure but with a hint of roughness, sounded on the stage.

"The stars of the conch are twinkling, and the acorns are rolling into the pockets of dreams..."

This is a nursery rhyme that is very familiar to the people of Conch City. With its childish voice and sincere emotions, it does not require too many skills to make the crowd below the stage fall into silence.

After Ruth finished singing, there was silence for a while, and then suddenly a shout was heard: "Let him through!"

"Let him through!"

"Let him through!"

More and more people started to shout. They liked the nursery rhyme, but they liked the story behind Ruth even more.

Maybe in normal times, they are greedy, stealing, and doing everything to survive... But at this moment, they just hope that the little boy on the stage will not repeat their path and have a happy ending...

The three judges looked at each other.

“He sings well and everyone likes him.”

"Lord Annan said that we must lead the people."

"Then there's nothing more to say."

The three judges raised their green cards and gave Ruth a pass.

At that time, Ruth was standing on the stage in a daze, Bean was waving his fist vigorously, Jack was jumping around excitedly, and the poor people in the audience were cheering for their victory. The boiling cheers spread farther and farther, and even the miasma that filled the night seemed to dissipate.

……

The semi-finals ended in the early morning of January 1th in the Saint Laurent calendar.

The approved lists from all over the country flew to Liberty City like snowflakes. The next morning, Annan woke up under a tree and got the list copied on a long piece of parchment.

The contestant's name, age, region and ethnicity are written on it.

Looking at other races that occasionally appear among the "humans", or the "three hundred years old" and "one thousand one hundred years old" that pop up from time to time, Annan feels a sense of accomplishment.

No one organized a world-class event, but he did it. No one made the races level, but he did it.

But Annan was not complacent. The biggest disadvantage of Liberty City was that it was developed too late. He had to achieve in a few years what other countries would take decades or even hundreds of years to achieve.

"Why are you here? Where is Francois?"

The person who delivered the list was the assistant Francois found - Gaius, the second best student at Liberty City University this year.

Because the first one who is outstanding is "the smartest person in Liberty City", Ivana.

She was only eleven years old, but she had already shown amazing intelligence and talent, except for the occasional complaints from Cathy that they were getting too far away.

At that time, Annan suggested that Cathy buy a doll and give it to her to enhance their relationship, but Cathy said that this was not the way to go and would only make them drift apart.

Instead, she was still memorizing texts, studying mathematics, and indulging in the honor of winning an essay award, while Ivana no longer had to go to school and was taken to the Mage Tower by Professor Swarovski for further studies. Annan then realized that Ivana was already able to participate in various projects in the Mage Tower.

Although she used the magic mirror that I gave her, it was still remarkable. If the magic mirror was still in my hands, I would either be left with nothing but dust or become a "magic mirror and its servant".

"Uh……"

"What's wrong?" Annan looked up at Gaius, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Lord Francois said... he guessed you would ask this, so let me say it when you ask..."

"say what?"

Gaius took a deep breath, "You swear, don't you see how busy I am? You swear all day long to find things for me to do, swear!"

Come to think of it, Francois has really been running around lately.

Come to think of it, Francois used to follow Ingrid and call him "Sir"... Now it seems that only the military and a few people like Ingrid and Abby retain this advantage.

"Silver dragon?"

At this moment, Annan, who inadvertently glanced at one of the lines on the list, had his eyes light up.

"In addition to the silver dragon, there is also a red dragon, a brass dragon, three blue dragons, and a suspected gold dragon." Gaius pointed to the name of the suspected gold dragon: Terragon.

Annan looked at the name of the silver dragon again, Onyxia... From the name, you can tell that it is a female dragon.

It is said that silver dragons are all handsome men and beautiful women among the dragon clan, just like the three flowers among cats.

Gaius continued, "It is well known among the officials that you are fond of dragonesses—"

"How can you say that!?"

Annan refuted and looked towards the crystal nest with a guilty conscience.

"Don't say such things in the City Lord's Mansion anymore."

"I see..." Gaius lowered his voice.

"I understand." Annan nodded with satisfaction. "Why are there so many dragons here? I mean, although I know she... they are here for the bonus, but do dragons have the talent to sing?"

Annan couldn't help but imagine a giant dragon singing group that belonged to him...

"I was just about to tell you. These dragons all have some flaws. For example, the silver dragon used magic to influence the referee. And the red dragon used its dragon power to suppress everyone.

"How can this be..." Annan frowned, "Don't be influenced by my personal preferences... Bah, I mean the competition must remain fair."

"Should we remove them?"

"Forget it this time."

Next is the official competition, which depends on the judges and audience voting, so it is difficult to do anything tricky.

Annan looked down and asked, "Are there any players I should pay attention to?"

"I know one. Her name is Ruth. She is a contestant who passed the Conch City competition and she is the youngest contestant."

"Ruth…he's only six?"

"Yes, and he was adopted by one of our people." Gaius briefly recounted the story of "Mother Bean". "What a pity! If there was more time, maybe the little boy could have made further progress."

"Don't worry, the time after the official competition will not be as urgent as the preliminary round of the audition. They have time." Annan handed the parchment back to Gaius: "I have no problem, just give it to-"

Losey arrived with the sound of armor clinking.

"Lord Annan, Mr. Skeleton King and Ms. Bailey Knight are waiting for you in the lounge."

"I know, I'll be there right away."

A few minutes later, Annan came to the lounge.

It was Bailey Knight who was meeting Annan, and she wished she could compete.
