"Kiko! Didn''t I tell you not to walk around?! Come on, line up! "


    When the little girl named Qiguo saw the man coming, she immediately jumped up with laughter and shouted, "Dad, Dad! This uncle, this uncle also likes... Cough... Also likes the song of mermaid! We are already good friends! "


    The girl''s father came and grabbed his daughter. After noticing her cough, his face twitched immediately. He quickly hugged the little girl in his arms and picked her up. After touching her palm and realizing that her palm was so cold, I tried to hold her.


    But soon, the father saw the man''s clothes. Soon, the expression on his face changed. He quickly said with a nervous and humble face: "it turned out... It turned out to be Lao tengshu''s teacher! I''m really... I''m really sorry... My daughter bothered you... I''m really sorry! "


    The teacher raised his hand and smiled, saying it didn''t matter. Perhaps, it''s a waste of time to have a chat when waiting in line.


    "You... Have an invitation?"


    The teacher glanced at the man and the little girl and said with some questioning tone.


    The man suddenly seemed a little nervous, but he still tried hard and said, "I... I didn''t steal it! No robbery! My invitation... My invitation... Was bought from regular channels! I... I bought it seriously! "


    The teacher looked back and looked around at those who lined up, even if they were not dignitaries and nobles, at least they were ordinary rich and decent people in decent clothes. Anyway, at least he who has a certain identity is qualified to get this invitation.


    But look at this man, his clothes are not much better than the little girl''s clothes. Full of patches and vulnerabilities. In the cold wind of December, the man and his daughter looked a little trembling, but they still tried to snuggle up to each other.


    "Bought it? Do you have so much money to buy? An invitation is not cheap. "


    Facing the teacher''s questioning eyes, the father''s eyes showed some stubborn and strong colors. After shaking his lips for a moment, he said as if he wanted to force himself a little, "I... I borrowed money to buy it! Today... Today is kigo''s birthday. She likes mermaid song best... She always said she must watch a mermaid song competition with her own eyes... So I... I borrowed money to buy it! So I didn''t steal or rob! Our father and daughter are innocent! "


    His voice was so loud that people around him turned around and looked at the man as if he were a freak.


    The more said, the father''s eyes couldn''t help looking more and more red. But he still tried to hold it. After sobbing his nose, he still didn''t shed a tear.


    So far, the teacher doesn''t have to say anything. He looked at the ragged appearance of the father and daughter, and then looked at the line in front of him. After thinking about it, he took off his coat and handed it to the father.


    "Ah? Teacher... This... We can''t afford... "


    "For you."


    The teacher thrust his cloak into the father''s hand——


    "Even if you don''t, your daughter needs it. Today is your daughter''s birthday. I don''t have any gifts to give. The competition will take at least two hours. Keep this cloak to keep out of the cold. "


    Now that the other party had said so, the father lowered his head and looked at his daughter, who was now a little timid in his arms. Finally, he nodded and wrapped the cloak gratefully around himself and his daughter.


    The teacher nodded, but when he turned around and planned to go to the guard over there for security inspection


    "Kind uncle!"


    The little girl''s voice came out of her cloak again. The teacher stopped to look back and saw the little girl with her head sticking out of her cloak. After thinking about it, she took off the badge of mermaid song on her belt and handed it up: "do you want this? Then I''ll give it to you. "


    "No, kind uncle... Cough... Cough... I don''t want... I don''t want this."


    To the teacher''s surprise, the little girl didn''t hold out her hand.


    But slowly, the little girl stretched out her dirty little hand from her cloak and handed out a note. On that thin little face, those bright big eyes twinkled with expectation——


    "Uncle, can you... Give this letter to the president brother of mermaid song for me?"


    The teacher took the letter, glanced slightly, was stunned, and looked up at the little girl again.


    The little girl looked at him with expectation, while her father secretly wiped his tears and looked at the teacher with a little pleading eyes.


    "... OK, don''t worry, I will do it."


    "Thank you for your kind uncle ~ ~!"


    At this time, the front guard had checked all the people in front and began to shout here. The teacher nodded and waved goodbye to the father and daughter. At the same time, he stuffed the note into his arms and stepped forward.


    After crossing the moat, receiving the inspection of the guards and showing the invitation letter, he entered the imperial city with the invited "civilians" and walked towards a huge garden on the side of the castle.


    The broad lawn has long been built into a huge stage at this moment. Those civilians dressed in silk, ladies'' fans or tuxedos have already taken their seats according to the invitation in their hands and began to prepare to enjoy the "performance" in front of them.


    But unlike those civilians who came to visit with a relaxed attitude, the teacher didn''t just come here to watch the game. After passing through the crowd, he hurried to a tent on the other side of the stage. After confirming the sign written on the tent, he stretched out his hand and slightly pulled the bell hanging on the tent door to remind the people inside that there were guests.


    "Who? Please come in. "


    When the tent door opened, cream saw the man standing at the door, and his face could not help showing hesitation.


    The man pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, exhaled and said, "Hello, my name is Connor conservatism, an economics teacher of old tengshu."


    Cream was still hesitating, but arrow sitting in the tent turned his head immediately after hearing the name, then showed a happy smile on his face, quickly walked up and welcomed his teacher in.


    "Miss Connor! What are you doing here? Are you here to visit my game? "


    Seeing that his teacher really kept his promise to visit, arrow was really overjoyed! He quickly pulled Connor in and arranged a chair for him to sit down.


    Connor glanced around the tent, sighed and said, "love... Arrow, I really didn''t think you could really reach the finals. This is really amazing. I have to admit that you really fulfilled your promise. I believe that even if you lose this game, no one will doubt your ability. "


    ELO''s expression with a smile suddenly became stiff. He thought for a moment, looked at Connor with a smile again and said, "I''m really glad you can visit, Mr. Connor! Where are you sitting? Tell me, I''ll find your position immediately after the game! "


    Seeing that the student was so concerned about him, Connor''s mood gradually calmed down. He breathed out, and finally put a smile on his face and said, "hahaha, forget the position. Don''t distract you. Anyway, your squad... Is that really OK? "


    Hearing that Connor had changed the subject now, the strong smile on arrow''s face finally faded down. He looked back at the configuration of his guild. He could only smile bitterly and shrugged his shoulders——


    "Yes, this is our configuration. Now, it''s really bad, isn''t it? "


    Mermaid''s song, a total of nine people, including arrow, Napa, Brad, Buffy, cream, cocoa, Margaux, Britta and cheese.


    Among them, Su TA can''t play, so there are only eight left.


    At this moment, Brad now has splints on his chest and back. Lying on the bed on one side, he can only look at this side with his eyes. He is obviously seriously injured and is far from reaching the result of a smooth battle.


    The other is cocoa. The necromancer lost too much blood, even though she kept eating the porridge given to her by Margo and smacking her mouth. But just think about it. She can''t play.


    In this way, if you really want to put together the list of five players, mermaid song has little choice.


    "You won''t play?"


    Connor turned to look at ello, his eyes full of worry.


    Arrow smiled and said, "teacher, you think highly of me. Do you think I''m qualified to play with my arms and legs? "


    Connor couldn''t help but breathe out gently when he heard ello promise not to play.


    After a moment of silence, he turned to look at arrow again and smiled, but his expression became serious——


    "AI... Luo, you are my student. I want to test you. How are your academic achievements in the past three years? Have you stepped back? "


    Cream frowned slightly, came over and whispered, "president, we''re going to play soon, we..."


    "It''s all right! How can I ignore my teacher''s examination of my studies? Teacher, tell me! I will show what I have learned in the past three years! "
