I really don't want to cross

Chapter 422 Determination
After leaving the alley, Wood found a nearby hotel that also runs a tavern and opened a room.

But he didn't go upstairs to rest immediately. Although he ate some desserts earlier, Wood didn't eat lunch or dinner this day except breakfast at the mansion, so Wood ordered a few small dishes and sat downstairs to eat up.

Although the taste of the food was not as good as the food in the mansion, it was barely considered quite satisfactory.

And Wood didn't pay attention to these meals, because he suddenly remembered one thing...Although he said to let Nayuki Subaru find a way to build the temple by himself, if he completely relied on Nayuki Subaru, this temple would want to be built It's just so far away.

For the gods, the temple is undoubtedly the most important.

If there is no temple, no matter how many believers there are, Wood will not be able to accept the faith of this world.

And if there is no temple, it will be difficult for ordinary people in this world to remember themselves. After all, in this world alone, Wood, like Yato, who didn't even have a temple at first, is an unnamed god; Wood made a bunch of wood carvings as temporary gods.

Now that it has come out this time, it is time to find a way to solve the problem of the temple.

Wood is thinking about how to make money here.

On the other side, there is a young girl who is struggling to advance or not.

Liliana looked at Wood who was eating with gusto in the hotel, and couldn't help but despair.

Why is he here?
She touched the bruise on her neck, and suddenly felt that there must be something wrong with her life...

Originally, everything was going well, but since she came to this town, she was favored by the richest old man in the town, allowing her to eat well and live well, but since she was kicked out of the house by the old man a few days ago, she Life here has become difficult!
First, personal belongings were lost frequently, and then he was chased and killed by a group of inexplicable men in white clothes. Today, he met a guy with a problem with his head. He planned to go back to the hotel for a good sleep, and then check out and go to Alam Village in two days.

result……

Why is this guy with a problematic head here?
If it wasn't for the lack of money, she would have left here long ago to find other hotels, but now Liliana has only two options.Either pretend you didn't see it at all, and go straight into the hotel and go back to your room; or... sleep on the street!
Liliana stood there struggling for nearly 2 minutes, finally gritted her teeth and stepped into the hotel resolutely. Anyway, judging from the other party's appearance, as long as she doesn't provoke her, she shouldn't cause trouble for no reason.

"You can't see me...you can't see me..."

The corner of Wood's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at the girl who was walking in front of him while muttering with her cat on her waist, with a smirk on her face: "I saw it!"

"hiss!!"

Liliana froze, turned her head like a puppet, and said with a flattering smile, "Ah, head... benefactor, you are here too!"

Wood cast a glance at the girl, and pointed to the chair in front of him casually: "Sit down."

"..." Liliana froze for a moment, then shook her head like a rattle: "That... I have already eaten, benefactor, you can eat by yourself."

"Who made you eat it?" Wood squinted and said softly, "I just want to ask you something."

Liliana was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and finally at the moment when Wood pinched the chopsticks with her thumb and forefinger, she sat down in front of Wood and bowed her head respectfully: "My lord, I am a wandering bard, and my name is Liliana. Musk Reid, please ask any questions you want!"

A wandering bard?
Wood was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up and down the girl named Liliana strangely, with a look of surprise on his face.

In this world, although wandering bards and bards have the same profession, they are completely different in essence.

The bards who live in one place are just picking up the wisdom of others. They can only sing some well-known stories, which are more similar to the storyteller in the restaurant.

The wandering bards are completely different, as can be seen from the word "wandering". They live in no fixed place, and carry out the concept of going with the wind and following their heart; All over the world, stories such as heart-touching events, poignant love, and indomitable hero legends are woven into moving songs one after another, so as to pass on those characters that exist in history forever.

One is the Creator and the Singer, the other is just the Singer!
Looking at Wood's gaze, Liliana seemed to understand what Wood was thinking. Maybe she often encountered similar doubts before, and she said proudly: "Don't look at me like this. Since I left home at the age of 13, I have been I have survived by myself with Lucilei in my hands until now; I have traveled all over the world, compiled various stories into songs, and passed on my songs in every city!"

"Uh-huh."

Wood nodded indifferently: "I didn't say I don't believe you, so don't be so excited. And isn't it just a jobless vagrant who lives a life of entertaining, what is there to be proud of?"

A busker... a vagrant?
Liliana's healthy wheat-colored face darkened, and she stood up directly from her seat, as if she had completely forgotten her fear of Wood, and looked at Wood seriously: "I am looking for the world's newest Traveling with the 'legend'."

"legend?"

Wood curled his lips secretly. He really didn't like this term, because anyone who can become a legend... basically has no good end.

Either he died, or his family died, or his wife died...

If it is not sensational enough, it will be difficult for this story to spread widely, just like the "Sword Demon Love Song" of the dead wife, his wife is not dead... Who will listen to this song!

Of course, Wood just thought about it in his heart, because Liliana who said this had an unshakable determination in her eyes.

"--legend!"

Liliana closed her eyes slightly, then opened them, and looked straight into Wood's eyes: "I embarked on a journey to pursue it and to sing about it." Her voice gradually became cadenced, and even without music, it gave people A magic that conveys emotion directly to the heart of the listener.

Again!

Wood frowned, and after careful sensing, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It really is a kind of protection.

Presumably it should be the ability to convey inner feelings to the audience. The rest of the diners in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel couldn't help but look towards Liliana under the influence of this blessing.

Immediately, Liliana took out the musical instrument named 'Liu Li Lei' in the box and played it in public.

"..."

The corner of Wood's mouth twitched slightly. Although in those biographical novels, you can often see plots similar to bards getting excited and singing loudly, criticizing the injustice in the world; but when this scene really happened before his eyes, it still made him a little speechless. , Speak well, why do you want to sing?
"We, called bards, are a group of people who turn stories into songs to make a living. The songs penetrate the hearts of the listeners, engraving the real past and history into the souls, and it lasts forever! The songs have the power to pass on, Even if the poet who wrote the song dies, the song will live on in the world."

Liliana continued to sing loudly. Wood wanted to interrupt, but looking at the audience around him, he finally didn't interrupt.

"We, can't leave tangible things. We can't make things, we don't know words, and we don't even allow us to settle down. Use these two feet to travel the world, sing where we arrive, and put the singing into someone's heart, and then for To find another land and move on. Then, one day, in the deserted wilderness, to rot with a musical instrument on our head—such are the creatures we are.”

Wood has to admit that Liliana's voice is beautiful, even if she doesn't care about the lyrics.

Because when she sings, her voice, words, eyes, and movements are full of an emotion called "determination".

"Because we are creatures who cannot leave something tangible, only in our hearts, we want to create something that will stay in someone's heart. Want to be able to prove that we are indeed alive, to be engraved in history Traces of the soul. If there is one thing to pursue, it is fame."

Wood couldn't help but shook his head, not because he was denying Liliana's song, but because...the song clearly reveals a tragic and long-established life trajectory.

Stubborn and pretentious!

But this evaluation Wood has no way to say it, because there is no falsehood in the determination of "the only way to do this"!
Relatively speaking……

Determination is the furthest word from him.

Because the road of determination to achieve the goal is often full of crises, and if you don't pay attention, you will be doomed.

And the reason why he couldn't ridicule is... He also had the experience of 'only doing this', even if he was forced out of it.Because of this... he has an inexplicable understanding of Liliana's awakening.

So Wood didn't say a word of ridicule, but nodded seriously: "That...it's really amazing."

Liliana was taken aback when she heard the words, then a smile appeared on her face, and she expressed her gratitude to Wood for his affirmation: "Thank you!" Then she said: "The inheritance that can remain in people's hearts for a long time and strongly is history. Inheriting the original songs , is also a way of life that bards should be proud of. But...

"If possible, I want to be the first singer to sing a song that can leave people's hearts. I want to use my throat and my tongue to convey the newest and freshest history in the world."

"—This is, my wish."

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

The whole hall of the tavern burst into bursts of applause at this moment, and the faces of all the guests showed encouragement, even they could hear the awareness of seeing death as home from Liliana's song!
