Chapter 8 "Collected Poems of Rabindranath Tagore"
Although Lucifer secretly released the water just like he did with Einstein, Ludwig Gauss still lost.
Gauss sighed deeply.
Einstein came twice and it was all backgammon. He thought it would be the same this time, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, and the girl he liked saw this scene——
Ludwig Gauss turned around and wanted to apologize to Christina Dumas, but found that Christina had not seen his embarrassment at all. She was addicted to reading and couldn't extricate herself.
He sighed again and looked at Lucifer sheepishly. Just as he was about to say something, Lucifer interrupted him.
"You passed the test."
Gauss was stunned: "Ah? But I lost..."
"Did I say that you have to pass the trial only if you win?" Lucifer raised his eyebrows.
"That's not true..."
Gauss murmured in response, his eyes gradually regaining their brightness: "Could it be that?"
Lucifer confirmed his guess: "Yes, through the process of playing chess just now, I judge that you passed the trial. What matters is not the outcome, but what you showed during this period."
Anyway, he is the "sage" who comes up with the questions. Whether he passes or not depends on his mouth.
Gauss believed it.
Sage, strangely enough, he is normal. Otherwise, he would be just an ordinary question maker, and he would not have been dragged along by Einstein to talk all afternoon.
Lucifer went to the kitchen to make instant noodles. When he came back, he brought a glass of Sprite and a glass of ice water and put them on the table.
The last time Gauss drank was Coke, and when he saw that the color was different this time, he was a little bit impatient, but he still restrained himself and moved the cup towards Christina Dumas.
"Christina, try this."
Pulling her eyes out of the book with difficulty, Christina Dumas didn't even glance at Sprite, and asked Lucifer eagerly: "Excuse me, this Tagore..."
Lucifer knew immediately what she wanted to ask, so he could only say with regret: "He is no longer in this world."
"Oh, that's such a pity. I saw such a poem once..." Christina Dumas sighed, "It turns out that besides heroic epics and hymns, you can also write like this."
Lucifer: "…………"
He felt that after he came to this world, he was speechless more and more times.
Why, has the literature of this world also developed in a very abnormal way?!
[Roughly, they are non-fictional historical records, semi-fictional heroic epics, hymns encouraged by the church, expository essays, argumentative essays, diaries...these are more practical. 】
It's so miserable. Don't the children even have bedtime stories?
[You can listen to heroic epics.]
Lucifer thought thoughtfully, no wonder everyone has such a strange attitude towards the sages. It turned out that they all grew up listening to the stories of heroic epics. I heard that the sages in them were full of tricks and tricks, but he was still far behind...
He decided to go to the library of Eden when he had time.
When Lucifer was distracted, Christina Dumas was still sighing: "I didn't expect there to be such a talented poet in the world. His observation of the world makes me ashamed. His mind is so sensitive and sentimental. I..."
This wave of rainbow farts blew down, and Miss Dumas actually cried on the spot as she spoke, looking like she wished she could live and die with Tagore. Gauss was so frightened that her whole body froze, her mouth opened and closed, and she couldn't say no for a long time.
Speak up.
Lucifer glanced at Gauss with hatred, then turned to comfort Miss Dumas: "If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you will also miss the stars."
Christina Dumas sobbed, looking at the handsome sage's beautiful golden eyes looking at her intently and worriedly, beautiful verses coming from his mouth, she couldn't cry anymore, and she was a little worried about herself
It didn't look good to cry, so I couldn't help covering my face with my handkerchief and wiping my eyes.
"This is also Tagore's poem? The style is very similar."
"yes."
"But I have definitely missed the sun, but the stars don't even have a shadow!"
Lucifer was a little embarrassed: "Well..."
Not to mention the stars in your world, even the sun of Rabindranath Tagore is the sun of another world!
He couldn't help turning his head to look at Gauss. What was this kid doing sitting there stupidly?!
When Gauss saw the change in the way the person he liked looked at Lucifer, he felt a little disappointed and felt that his performance today was extremely poor.
Not to mention that Christina was not his girlfriend in the first place. Even if she was really his girlfriend, it was normal for her to like Lord Sage. After all, Lord Sage was so powerful and could come up with magical trials one after another.
Fortunately, he was not stupid. After receiving Lucifer's signal, he suddenly felt blessed and said the most brilliant sentence today: "There are no stars, you can become a star. Christina, don't you like epics very much?"
Well, I think you can try writing it yourself."
Christina Dumas was stunned: "Shall I write it? Can I?"
Lucifer said firmly: "You can definitely do it."
He felt that he had found a pattern! Looking at her awesome last name, he knew that she was definitely not an ordinary person! She definitely had a talent for writing!!!
Gauss did not continue to be stupid, quickly kept up with the rhythm, and praised Christina Dumas.
Probably because he sincerely did not feel that he was exaggerating, there was no divine punishment like biting his tongue during the entire process.
After being told this, Cristia Dumas gradually came up with an idea: "Well, then I'll try it later..."
Seeing that he had coaxed the person well, Lugos could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He was sweating all over his back, but he still pushed the Sprite to Miss Dumas: "Drink some drinks and replenish some water."
Christina Dumas blushed sheepishly and picked up the cup.
At this time, she finally noticed the strange aroma permeating the air. The sour feeling irritated the nasal mucosa, causing her to swallow her saliva unconsciously.
Ludwig was right, she had never smelled this wonderful taste, let alone eating it!
When Gauss was praising Miss Dumas just now, Lucifer quickly took the opportunity to run to the kitchen to see if the noodles were cooked.
It was originally well calculated, but who would have thought that an item to comfort the crying girl was suddenly added in the middle, hoping that there would be no need to cook a new bowl.
[Your Highness, you can use magic to automatically cook noodles and serve them on a plate.] The alarm clock suddenly appeared.
Lucifer was very worried: "Do you think I don't want to? Since the day I knew who I was, I have been thinking about how to use spells every day, but I can't remember it!"
[I can act as an agent. 1 silver coin per hour.]
Lucifer: "...I only have a few silver coins on me, so what's the point of cheating on me all day long?"
No wonder the reminder suddenly appeared that Ganqing was waiting for him here!
[I was created to urge you, because you seem to lack motivation. I think certain difficulties can cheer you up.]
"Thank you so much. Are there not enough difficulties? Which one is easier, the next review or the angel inspection?" Lucifer complained, "Don't think about it. Now there are an average of two customers a day. I can do it myself."
Maybe he can only earn 2 silver coins today and give half of it to the alarm clock? He must be stupid!
Fortunately, comforting Miss Dumas was mainly Gauss's job, Lucifer was able to evacuate in time, and the noodles were not overcooked.
So Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief and poured out the noodles.
While he was busy in the kitchen, Miss Dumas had already tasted the Sprite and was shocked. When Lucifer came out with the noodles, she was still drinking it in small sips, as if she planned to enjoy every bite of her tongue.
Bubble wrap feel.
The ice water that he had poured for Gauss had been finished. Miss Dumas was too embarrassed to drink Sprite alone, so she poured half a cup into his glass. Gauss felt that he was being cared for, and his whole body was turning pink.
Bubbles.
Therefore, even though he ate braised noodles last time and he had never eaten hot and sour noodles this time, he still did not intend to eat a bite and gave them all to Miss Dumas. Even when Miss Dumas was eating
, he secretly came to Lucifer and gave the money.
Lucifer looked at Gauss with admiration and felt that he was very promising. If he worked harder, he could win the beauty!
Christina Dumas was very excited about eating at first, but then she started to slow down. Her expression seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn’t know what philosophical issues could arise from eating noodles. Anyway, she felt like eating like Gauss and Einstein.
The noodles are different, it doesn't feel like you are simply enjoying delicious food.
Lucifer took the poetry collection back to the warehouse space managed by the alarm clock to prevent her from being sentimental again.
Fortunately, in the midst of the delicious food, Miss Dumas did not notice that the book she had placed aside was missing. She was immersed in eating and looked very much enjoying herself, as if she was not the one crying just now.
Ah, this perfect combination of sour and spicy, why have I never thought of it before? The noodles are curved, not only look elastic, but also feel the same when you eat them. The soup is a bit hot, but it makes people reluctant to part with it.
Open your mouth, just want to hold it in your mouth and slowly swallow...
After finishing it in one bite with great treasure, not even the soup was left. Christina Dumas put down the bowl and said regretfully: "There are at least a dozen kinds of seasonings in it that I have never tasted before. I really can't taste them..."
…”
Lucifer was a little surprised: "They are all familiar to you, can you taste them?"
"Absolutely." Christina Dumas said modestly, "I like to taste all kinds of delicacies, and I have been punished by God for this. But after eating this bowl of noodles, I feel that nothing I have eaten before can be punished by God.
It’s classified into gourmet food, which is just ordinary food.”
"I see, you are still a gourmet." Lucifer sighed casually.
Christina Dumas's eyes lit up again: "Gourmet... gourmet... this is a good word, I like it!"
Gauss couldn't help but complained: "But it sounds like a lot of divine punishment... No, I don't mean to stop you from calling yourself a gourmet. You just like it."
As someone who has a crush on Christina Dumas, Gauss certainly knows how much she suffered in order to eat and how many times she was persuaded by people around her.
But since he decided to pursue her, and she insisted on knowing the cost, he couldn't force Christina to stay away from this dangerous hobby on the grounds of "for your own good". He could only support it silently, or -
Bring her to the Sage, because the Sage said that she would not encounter divine punishment here, and he hoped it was true.
If Christina couldn't pass the trial, he would go for her, as long as Christina could continue her hobby safely.
He is clumsy with his tongue and can only express his feelings in this way.
Lucifer saw the two off, and judging from the atmosphere between them, he felt that he could congratulate Gauss soon.
But will his store have to rely on regular customers to attract new customers in the short term?
...Even today this Christina Dumas cannot be considered a guest, because the only one who consumes is Gauss.
