To be king and magician

"Come on, take it, your room card."

"Ah...thank you——no, wait a minute, Grey and I haven't planned to stay here yet."

"Huh? Aren't you going to live here? If you don't, what are you doing here?"

"That's a bit of a long story, actually—"

Before Xia Chuanhu could finish his words, the monarch Achelot interrupted him directly: "Okay, just treat it as me inviting you to live here, it won't cost much anyway. Get the room card, and then Come with me, there are a lot of people here, let's go to the room above and have a chat."

"Eh? Talk? Talk about what?"

"Of course it's the reason why I came to you." Monarch Archelot smiled. "You don't think I invited you to live here for free, do you? Do I look like a kind woman?"

(What a woman who can talk to herself!)

Xia Chuanhu had this kind of impression just by meeting him face to face. Although he was not as good as Meili, this monarch, Archelot, was probably a very troublesome type.And now that she has helped book the room, to be honest Xia Chuanhu is too embarrassed to refuse - if he refuses, he and Gray will have no place to live.

"elder brother?"

"Come on, Gray, it seems that our trip to Paris may not be very enjoyable."

--------------------------------

The room that Monarch Achelot booked for Xia Chuanhu and Gray was a double VIP suite on the top floor.

Looking at the gorgeous decoration inside the house, Xia Chuanhu and Gray, who were used to living in rental houses, apartments, and even wooden houses, were stunned at the door as if they had been caught in the petrified magic eye.Unlike the two, Monarch Archelot entered the room and sat on the sofa with ease.

"Don't stand still at the door, come in and sit down. Or are you a little overwhelmed because you live in this kind of place for the first time?"

"You're right, I'm just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden."

Xia Chuanhu smiled wryly twice, and took Gray to sit in front of Monarch Axelot: "Then let's get straight to the point, Monarch Axelot, you—"

"May Lidal Archelot." Monarch Archelot——Lidel—interrupted Xia Chuanhu again, "This is not a clock tower, and you are not from my botanical family, either. So there is no need to call me the monarch, just call me Lydel or May."

"Then...forgive me, Miss Achelotte."

Xia Chuanhu still maintained the basic respect.

"First of all, thank you for solving the housing problem for Gray and me. If it weren't for your help, we would probably be sleeping on the streets."

"It's nothing more than a little effort, and as I said, I'm not helping you for free, but I just need someone to do something for me, and you just happened to appear in front of me." Lidal said.

Xia Chuanhu nodded: "I understand. So what do you mean by helping?"

Mentioning this matter, the commercial smile on Lidal's face suddenly collapsed, and she sighed heavily: "Oh~~~~ You have also seen the following situation? Reporters and media surrounded the hotel Watertight."

"It's a big fight... Could it be that I came here to interview you who are about to hold a concert tour?"

"Ah."

"Is there any problem with that? You are a popular idol all over the world, I think you should be used to this kind of situation?"

Lidal frowned immediately when she heard the words: "I'm used to it. After all, I've been an idol for a long time. Besides, it's not like I can't deal with those reporters. If I really want to, I'll do magic tricks and let them cooperate. It's all gone."

"Then what is your business?"

"The concert will be in four days. Before that, there are other things to deal with, such as simulated performances. In addition, I have a new song that has reached the final stage of creation. It is the time when I need to concentrate and not be disturbed."

"Although it is very simple to dismiss the reporter, there have been some problems with the plant department recently. I don't know which bastard blew up a laboratory under my name, which made the funds and all the magicians suffer. There are problems with the schedule, so that there are not many people around me who can help me deal with reporters, and I really don’t want to argue with them.”

Having said that, Lidal's meaning is already very clear.

"Before the concert starts, I'll ask you to be my substitute to attract the reporters. You don't need to do anything, just pretend to be me and walk around outside once or twice a day."

"Can I ask you to do me this trivial favor, Xia Chuanhu?"

53. Mei Li, wash my neck and wait!

After listening to Lidal's request, for a moment, Xia Chuanhu felt that what he was sitting on was not a sofa, but a needle felt.

Someone blew up the laboratory of the botanical department under Lydal's name?

Does it sound familiar?

Because it was he, Xia Chuanhu, who fried it!He is the bastard Lidelle said!

(Can this, this all be strung together? Isn’t this too coincidental?)

Xia Chuanhu couldn't believe it.

The original cause was Mr. Kenneth’s self-defense course. In order to get credits, he asked Mei Li for special training, but then his mentality was blown by the special training, and those noble children came to face-mounted output, causing him to break the defense Blow up the lab.

And after that, he started working part-time in order to pay off the debts of the plant department, which is why he and Grey got acquainted.

Originally, Xia Chuanhu thought that this was the last thing left to pay off the debt, but now the owner of the laboratory that he blew up unexpectedly came to him?Even because of the follow-up of the laboratory blasting incident, he was a little bit at a loss?

(Isn't this too coincidental? It's not normal to be so coincidental!)

(However, from her tone, it seemed that she only knew that the laboratory was bombed, not who it was?)

Thinking of this, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh? What's wrong with you? It seems like you're suddenly relieved?"

"Ah...because it's something the monarch asked for, I thought it would be something very important, so I was a little nervous, but I didn't expect it to be just your substitute, so I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief." Xia Chuanhu explained, "Of course this kind of task is okay. It's better to say that it can be offset by your kindness for helping us solve the housing problem. It feels like we are taking advantage of it."

In any case, her laboratory was blown up. Even if she didn't know it, Xia Chuanhu still felt a little bit sorry.

(Let's see if I can help her solve a little more things? Let's just treat it as... well, if she pursues it in the future, I can try to deal with it lightly.)

And looking at Xia Chuanhu's eyes that seemed to be hiding other thoughts, Lidelle couldn't help laughing: "Huh? I didn't expect you to be very enthusiastic. But--if you have nothing to do, you must have other plans. You are playing It's a small plan, isn't it?"

"If you have to say it, it's okay." Xia Chuanhu scratched the back of his head, "It should be said that it is a precautionary measure, in case I offend you in some places in the future, there is a fact of helping you, say Maybe you can ask you to forgive me—that's what I think."

Lidal was stunned by the unexpected answer.

She hadn't expected such a reason at all.

Lidal has seen many people who have other plans for her, some are greedy for her beauty, some are greedy for her money, and some are greedy for the status of the Achelot family... all kinds of things There are all kinds of idiots, because she has seen too many people, and Lidelle even feels a little disgusted with such people.

She thought Xia Chuanhu would say similar things.

But I didn't expect this to be the case.

"Is that so, should you prepare an indulgence for yourself first? You have a sense of crisis—no, it's not quite right to say that. It should be said that you seem to regard a conflict with me as inevitable. Is something wrong? Could it be that you have the magic eye of the future?"

"How could it be? Although I said I was wearing glasses, it was actually just because I was a little short-sighted. Just take my behavior as a way to form a good relationship."

"Hmm~~~~~"

Continuing to look Xia Chuanhu up and down, Lidal chuckled twice: "Well, since you have this kind of thought, I'm not welcome to give away labor for nothing. But I don't need your help at the moment. Just do your job as a stand-in."

"My room is next to yours. Then, I have to prepare a new song, so I'm leaving first. I'll get someone to bring you the disguise clothes later."

——————————————————————————————

After watching Lidale leave, Xia Chuanhu lay on his back directly on the sofa—to be precise, on Grey's lap.

"elder brother!"

Gray blushed and cried out, then quickly lifted Xia Chuanhu's head and took a pillow to cover it.

"I'm sorry Gray, because this series of things is somewhat shocking, subconsciously... Is my thigh okay? Does it hurt?"

"No, I'm fine, I was just scared." Gray said with a blushing face, "Speaking of which, brother, have you really decided to be that lady's double? I remember that the magician's double is ..."

"Shadow Warrior. A substitute with magical properties. In order to protect the real someone, he erased his name and accepted all the curses and injuries directed at someone—— Weber mentioned it when he talked about Iskandar's deeds before. It seems that Grey, you have also listened a little bit."

"Because Mr. Weber's expression was very sad at that time, even the impression was a little deep."

"After all, that guy...is Iskandar's servant." Xia Chuanhu sighed, "But don't worry, the substitute I want to be is not the type of shadow warrior, not to mention becoming a shadow warrior himself It takes a long time to settle and carry out intelligence operations, but as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no need to use such a profound method, if you insist, it should be similar to your sister Meili's illusion."

"All I have to do is change clothes, dress up a bit, and take a wig and walk around the street twice. In fact, it's just a man disguised as a woman, but it's more like Miss. Archelot—— , Speaking of Mellie."

Xia Chuanhu frowned fiercely, and a carp jumped up from the sofa, took out his mobile phone and dialed Mei Li's number.

【what?Xia Chuan?What's the matter, call me all of a sudden?By the way, at this time, you should have arrived in Paris, right?How is it over there? 】

"Before I tell you about the situation here, Meili, please explain to me why there is no reservation information for me and Grey in the hotel here? Didn't you say that the TV station has already helped me book the hotel, Grey and I Just pack your bags and check in!?"

【Eh?Don't have an appointment?Impossible, I've confirmed everything here—could it be because I won the lottery that my name was used for the appointment?So are you living in it now? 】

"I met the monarch of the plant department, and the other party was rich and powerful, and helped to open the room, but the more troublesome thing is that I can't play casually, and I have to spend some time every day to help her do things. In addition, I only now know that the one I blew up nearly two months ago That laboratory is actually under her name."

[Isn't that super embarrassing?You were blackmailed by her? 】

"That's not true, she didn't know that I blew it up."

[That's good... well, although it seems that a lot of things have happened over there, I still wish you a happy time in France, remember to bring... your hands... back. ....]

"Hello? Meili? Your voice is not very clear."

【...】

"Merry?"

Hearing the rustling sound coming from the phone, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but frowned: "What's the situation? The signal is not good? Although it is said that the call is an international long-distance call, it won't be like this for a minute or two, right?"

"Forget it, at least I can be sure that it's not Meili who is playing tricks, and let's indulge in Paris right now——Grey, come and pack your luggage."

"Okay, brother."

——————————————————————————————

Meanwhile, London.

Putting down the microphone in her hand, Mei Li looked in the direction of France, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "The signal was actually cut off. It's really unexpected. Has someone set up an enchantment in Paris?"

"But that's also good. It would be interesting to add more unexpected things to make it more difficult for him."

54. Why are you so proficient!

In the early morning of the second day in Paris, Xia Chuanhu woke up with a hasty knock on the door—or the sound of the door slamming.

"Who is it... early in the morning..."

While yawning, he stretched his hand into his clothes and scratched. Xia Chuanhu came to the door and opened it. At the moment of opening the door, he should have just swung his fist while opening the door. He fell forward in a controlled manner.

Reaching out and grabbing her collar by the back of her collar, Xia Chuanhu lifted her back and stood up straight, Xia Chuanhu said angrily: "Come here early in the morning to knock on the door... Is there any major event? Miss Achélot?"

"Early in the morning? Do you know what time it is?"

"Ah? What time? Isn't it only eight o'clock?"
