"Hom! Is that really you?!"
A young man who followed Sir White Thorns walked out and came to Holm, who was holding the baby girl.
Hom raised his head, raised his already red and swollen eyelids, and saw the person in front of him clearly. When he overlapped the person in front of him with the image of a friend in his memory, he shouted in surprise. came out.
"Leon... you... what's up with this outfit?"
Holm recognized that standing in front of him was his former partner, who also belonged to the bottom of the black pigeon, and roamed between Nolan's underground city and Nolan's alleys.
"When I came back, I found that the beauty Gutama was captured by Nolan's law enforcement team. You and your sister seem to have disappeared from this world! But now you..."
Holm looked at his former friend and didn't know what to say. He was still wearing old clothes with patches, and Leon was wearing a brand new dress. Judging from the texture of the fabric, it was almost his entire life. The kind that can't be bought.
A few months ago, this friend of Holm accompanied him to swim in the various sewers of Nolan. Every day he came out with a disgraceful face, and now he looks like a heir from that noble family.
"A well-meaning artist is willing to let me learn acting with him as a disciple." Leon glanced at Sir Bai Jinghua next to him, who was focusing on the tavern owner talking about cooperation issues.
"You're lucky boy, I said you can just rely on your own cheeks if you want to eat."
Holm sighed with admiration. People like them who live at the bottom of Nolan have a very hard life every day. People like Leon are valued by Nolan's nobles and businessmen because of their appearance. Very lucky.
And it is still in the identity of an actor apprentice, not the kind of lover in secret.
"How about you, Holm, went to that underground prison again today?" Leon asked, pointing to the swollen marks on Holm's eyes.
"Yes, I originally won the championship, but the prize money was taken away by those goddamn orcs!"
Holm's anger affected the baby girl he was holding in his arms, and the baby girl let out a piercing cry again.
"Hom... Why don't you go to the White Thorns Theater with me, I'll try to convince my instructor."
Leon knows his friend's difficult situation. Poverty is one aspect. He adopted a baby girl who didn't know where he came from. Leon thought this guy was just playing, but he didn't expect it to take so long. Mu still did not give up on this unknown baby.
"Those noble grandpas wouldn't like a dirty mouse like me." Holm said with some self-deprecation, "I don't have your face."
"But... you won the championship in the underground prison, although... I don't know the rules in the prison very well, but the competition in the prison should be related to... singing, right?"
"I'm just talking about useless crap. The grandfather of the nobles is not interested in crap."
Holm didn't seem to want to drag down his promising friend. He wanted to reach out and pat Leon on the shoulder to encourage him to seize this opportunity, but found that his hands were full of filth and immediately pulled him back.
"But... I've heard the song you sing, Holm. It's amazing... Wait for me here."
Leon seemed to remember something, and immediately ran out of the tavern. After a while, he ran in with a piece of paper in his hand and handed it to Holm.
This is a... flyer, a fine flyer.
"The Singer of the World?" Holm asked, looking at the title written on the flyer, with some doubts.
"Well... Recently, the voice of Nolan is preparing a program, the winner can get a bonus, and can appear in front of Nolan's audience."
"The Voice of Nolan..." Holm had only heard of this radio program. He had no money left to buy such an expensive item as "the right to use the magic net". He only occasionally heard some passers-by on the street mention this magical network.
A voice that can be heard no matter where there is Nolan...
"I… will try it out." Holm wasn't sure whether Nolan's residents would accept underground prison-style music, but he didn't want to miss any opportunity to make money, and he could earn money every month by staying in this tavern. The money he received could not support him at all.
"And Holm, I... hope I can buy information from... you." Leon took out two gold coins and stuffed them into his hands. No matter what information Holm knew, the value of the information was absolutely incomparable with gold coins.
Leon is helping his friend in this way.
"Ask." Holm clenched the gold coin in his hand and did not refuse.
"I... and my sister Riley got separated. After the beauty Gutama was captured, I never saw her again. Do you know any information about her?"
"Your sister? I heard a rumor that a young demon girl was seen leaving with a group of elves, but I don't know where it went."
"Elf? I...probably know..."
Before Leon could say a word of thanks, Sir Bai Jinghua had already negotiated with the owner of the tavern. In the end, the owner of the tavern decided to sell the tavern to Sir Bai Jinghua.
"Why did your mentor buy this tavern?"
Holm soothed the baby girl until she fell asleep, and whispered to the friend next to her.
"I heard from the instructor... to install a 'television'."
He also didn't quite understand the truth of the matter. Today, in order to find the trace of his sister, he took the initiative to propose that Sir White Thorns take him to Squirrel Street.
"'Television'? What is that? The name of a new type of magic machine, or the name of magic?"
Holm glanced at the outside of the tavern. Outside the tavern, except for the magic vehicle, there was no sign of other large magic machinery.
"Anyway, Home, I'll convince my mentor to let you continue to work here. I think business in this tavern will get better soon."
After Leon left this sentence, he hurried to Sir White Thorns. At this time, the old woman beside Sir White Thorns took out a contract and was discussing something.
Holding the baby girl in one hand, Holm looked at the flyer that read "The Singer of the World" with the other hand, and his eyes fell on "Any resident of Nolan, no matter what their background, can participate in this competition. "Above this line.
He wasn't sure whether the words that sounded savage to outsiders could be accepted by the people of Nolan, but now he seemed to have only this way to go.
"Don't worry... I'll be full soon." Holm said softly to the sleeping baby girl.
