Chapter 655:
Issius didn't expect Elai to do this trick. He had his eyes wide open and his expression was blank. When he came to his senses, he said, "Getting more and more" in his mouth. Issius realized that the joke was a bit too much and was about to add "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." Unexpectedly, the next sentence that slipped out of Essius's mouth was beyond his expectations.
"……Won't."
Elai thought he had heard it wrong, but Isius repeated it again, firmly without hesitation: "I don't think it's offense. And there are some things that should have been told to you, but you were in a bad state before and I don't want to cause you a burden."
Burden? Elai thought intuitively on the bad side. Under his confused and surprised gaze, Isseus sorted out his thoughts and spoke slowly:
"I am a poor child, with five or six brothers and sisters. I am the youngest. My parents have no financial ability and can't even afford to raise themselves, but they don't have the concept of birth control. Too many children make the family poorer and poorer. When I was born, many brothers and sisters started working, otherwise they would just do something stealing and make a living.
"I don't remember how old it was. Maybe it was four or five years old? My family was probably too poor to support me. I was sold to a human trafficker by my parents and lived a shameful life. Logically speaking, I should have been sold out soon and became a slave or a toy for rich families, but it seems that because of my magical talent, the senior management fell in love with me. They taught me to do some bad things, because I was young and those things were not serious, even if I was caught, I was easily forgiven.
"At the same time, the senior management also sold me to different people. When the money was obtained, I would find a way to run back and then be sold again. This kind of life lasted for several years until I was about eight years old."
Even though he was clearly talking about such a tragic thing, Issius' tone was very plain and showed no expression, as if he was isolated from the past, but his eyes still showed a trace of confusion.
"When I was eight years old, the traffickers were defeated, I was rescued, and I was identified with a high magical talent, and I was destined to be cultivated into a magician. I lived in a harsh environment since I was a child and could not integrate into the life of a 'normal person', but there was a person who came, who was like a friend and relative, patiently accompanied me through that period."
Isius stopped talking. Elai was stunned for a moment and found that Isius did not continue to explain who that person was, so he realized that the conversation had ended.
Elaine had only one question at the moment: "So... Isius, when did I meet you?"
Issius' clear black eyes swept at Elai, with some kind of blame in his eyes, as if the magic circle he had spent all day completing, but Elai could not see anything special. "I thought I had already made it clear."
Elai immediately came to realize it. "Is that person... me?"
"yes."
"When we met, you were eight years old and I was nine years old?"
"almost."
"How are we in love?"
"It's pretty good."
Every time Elai got a clue, his doubts decreased a little. He felt as if he could suddenly understand Isius's previous behaviors and why Isius sent him to the medical center when he was seriously injured.
Maybe something happened, he was acting with Issius?
Elai didn't know whether to continue asking, but before he thought it through, he rolled out of his tongue uncontrollably. "Issius, what kind of person was I used to be? Is there a lot of difference from now?"
As soon as I said this, Elai knew it was over. This was obviously not a question that Isius was willing to answer. At that moment, several ways of dealing with it flashed through Elai's mind, but Esius's reaction was beyond his expectations.
"You used to be...a very lonely person."
He was not angry, but just lowered his eyes, wandering around where Ela could not reach, and his tone was a little sad for some reason.
"The magic is very powerful, gentle to everyone, but I've always been lonely."
When he met Yilai again, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, and he smiled softly. "Actually, it's not much different from now. Yilai used to be there, but it seems to be less lonely. I think it's good."
Elai didn't know what to say, he was silent for a long time before speaking again: "I'm sorry."
Isius raised his eyebrows and turned back to the original implicit and unfair boy. "Why do you want to apologize?"
"I don't remember what you said. Sorry."
Issius frowned slightly, "I know this will happen, so I don't want to tell you too early, at least during the time when you first arrived at Zhaixing, I didn't plan to tell you." He sighed, looking at it with a clear look. "It doesn't matter, as long as you are well, nothing matters."
The sentimental time suddenly ended, and in an instant, everything returned to normal. Issius's attitude naturally talked to Elai's family, as if nothing had happened.
"So, have your affairs with Sager resolved?"
"ah?"
The topic turned too fast, and Elai couldn't react, but the next second, he knew why.
"Isseus, can I borrow Ela from you?"
Sager walked towards them from a distance, silently, like a white phantom.
"I have something to talk to him."
It was not until Juliet and Liliz stepped off the stage that all the audience finally came back to their senses. Suddenly, the cheers were thunderous and applause was endless. Elaine subconsciously applauded, and was still in the stunning performance. Isseus, who was beside him, sighed with satisfaction. "What a surprising singing and illusion."
Elai is no longer confused, "Illusion?"
"Well, there is an illusion attached to Juliet's singing. When she sang, the illusion entered everyone's mind with the sound, so that she saw those scenes."
"So that...song?" Elai couldn't find an adjective to describe it. Not to mention description, the song seemed to be out of his mind while it was finished, and he couldn't remember the details, leaving only a very unforgettable impression.
"The singing is real, and the illusion is just a trick to help the audience fully devote themselves to." Issius understood what Elaine wanted to say and smiled slightly. "They are really amazing."
Elai suddenly wondered if the scene Issius saw was the same as him. At this time, the second group of performers came on stage. He shut his mouth based on politeness and focused on watching the performance. After experiencing Juliet and the others' amazing performance, although the performances in the latter were excellent, they seemed much inferior.
The performers went through one group after another, and finally managed to end the performance. Alicia announced the end of the opening and finally came to the time to visit the stalls freely.
The night in the main city is always quiet. After dinner time, businesses closed down and rested. There were few still open business, but the lighting magic was on, guiding the way for the latecomer.
Of course, there are a few exceptions in the year, and the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the One is one of the exceptions. In conjunction with the opening of the God of the One of the God of the One of the God of the One of the Ones, the merchants set up a market in the evening, and the high-hanging lighting magic extends from the street to the end of the alley, and it is clear and destructive, and it is only enough to see the goods on the stall and the expressions of everyone.
There were crowds of people everywhere, with family members walking around the market, children playing in groups, couples holding hands on dates, married couples lingering in various stalls, tonight, regardless of age or race, everyone was chatting and laughing, harmonious, the hazy lights kept changing colors, colorful and brilliant, adding a dreamy atmosphere to the night.
After the performance, the audience scattered their own, and the Gods' Chosen was no exception. Sager took Pan Di, Mike and Leo, and Ire naturally followed Issius. Three days from the opening day of the festival, the vendors' food was completely free. For this benefit, the meal time was naturally crowded with people. There were so many people that they could hardly see their feet. After Irelai almost got lost in the crowd several times, Irelai sighed and simply took Irelai's hand to take him away.
"Sorry." Isius whispered.
Isseus's hands were slightly cool and his skin was tender, so he was not doing thick work. Perhaps because he was afraid that he would be disgusted, he tried to pull Elaine with the minimum contact area almost in a "hook".
