Chapter 2 You are not qualified to know my name

Hoffman's voice echoed in everyone's ears for a long time, and everyone's mood could not calm down for a long time. Everyone's heart was like taking a heavy hammer. Not only did his heart beat faster, but his breathing also took a short stop. If it weren't for the instinct of human survival that forced everyone to take a few deep breaths, these people would have forgotten all the instincts that they had to breathe.

"Grandpa Hoffman! Grandpa Hoffman! Who is that flying man? Why does he fly? Didn't the book write that only animals with wings can fly? But he doesn't have wings? And why does that person fly so fast? In the blink of an eye, his person becomes a small dot, much faster than the birds flying in the sky, right?" The girl who woke up from the shock pulled the corner of Hoffman's suit, who was still staring at the sky, and kept pulling back and forth, and her little mouth was like a chick that had just jumped out of the eggshell, chirping constantly, attracting the eyes of others around her.

"Uh..." Suddenly, the girl in front of him asked several questions in succession. Hoffman didn't know how to answer, which one should he answer first. He had to answer the girl with an awkward smile, but doubts arose in his heart.

Did this person really fly away? Or was it just an illusion we all saw just now? No, right? If it is an illusion, it is impossible for so many people to see it at the same time. Is it an illusion? It is unlikely that it is an era now, how could such things still exist? But this is strange. It is not an illusion and it is impossible to really fly. What exactly will it be? By the way, only that can be done.

After a while, the shallow wrinkles on Hoffman's forehead deepened a little further. He finally showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his embarrassed old face. He touched the girl who was still pulling the corner of his clothes and smiled faintly: "Haha. This is nothing. Just now, that one is not flying, how could we humans fly out of thin air? If you want to fly, you can only take a plane. The one just now is actually just a magic trick." After saying that, Hoffman closed his eyes with a smug look on his face, as if he was very satisfied with his explanation.

"Magic? If you say so, it really seems like magic."

"I was shocked. In broad daylight, I thought I had seen aliens."

"Alien? Who told you that aliens can fly? Don't say that, just now, I thought that person's body was a spaceship. Now it seems that it was just a magic trick!"

"Yes. Lord Hoffman is right. I have been to big cities and seen such flying magic in big cities. In fact, it's just a trick."

"No, right? What a fool, he is just a liar. Maybe this guy is still hiding nearby. He flew to the distance at such a fast speed just now, and he must have used some tricks."

Hoffman's answer immediately aroused the discussion of the onlookers on both sides. Everyone expressed their opinions. Not long after, they demoted the young man who had shocked them to nothing, and some even made contempt. A young man with blonde hair and a snake-shaped tattoo on his neck was the most opinionated of these people. He raised his forehead seriously and acted like he could not hide anything from him, which immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

"Oh? What methods have you seen to make people fly?"

"Tsk. Who am I? Of course I have seen it." The blonde man patted his chest and pointed at a fat man beside him who was only as high as his shoulders and ordered: "Xiao Liu. Show everyone how to make the paper ball fly in his hands."

The fat man nodded respectfully, immediately took out a unopened tissue bag from his pocket, then calmly pulled out one from it, and kneaded it into a small white ball the size of a thumb. Then, in front of everyone around him, the fat man suddenly accelerated and moved around the ball quickly. After tossing and turning for a while, he gently held his hands. When his palms opened again, the ball was still obediently lying on the little fat man's palm, without any sign of leaping into the air.

Everyone was stunned when they saw it, and then a feeling of being played with aroused in their hearts. The anger arose from the heart and was about to ejaculate. However, the blonde man smiled slightly at the onlookers, and then gave the little fat man an order with his eyes, and immediately burst into a scream of amazement in the crowd.

"Up...down...left...right..." Under the command of the yellow-haired man, the small ball really flew into the air, and the direction of its movement was exactly the same as the command of the blonde man. It seemed that the small ball was like his hand, very obedient. When the onlookers saw this, they finally believed the big words the blonde man said before.

If you can make the ball fly out of thin air, you will naturally be able to make people fly out of thin air. Everyone's hearts were filled with the same feeling.

"Tsk! It turns out that the man was just a magician who hung steel wires. I was shocked and thought I had really seen the gods." The blond man learned that flying magic was actually just hanging up a steel wire that was invisible to the naked eye. The girl immediately lost interest in the flying man, and instead pulled Hoffman to take her to the circus performance stationed outside the town. Under her questioning, the girl had just learned from Hoffman that there would be a so-called magic performance.

Hoffman had no choice but to nod and agreed. After all, he explained the sudden flight of the young man just now as a magic trick. He could not wipe out the girl's pleasure, nor could he shoot himself in the foot. Hoffman had only respect for this daughter of the Oak family. However, the girl's request for unwilling to carry a bodyguard still made Hoffman very embarrassed.

"Miss, just listen to Hoffman's words. It's very dangerous to leave the town without a bodyguard!"

"Grandpa Hoffman. Why do you always use my father's words to suppress me!" Hearing Hoffman's cliché, the girl's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and she replied impatiently: "I just want to go to the circus to watch the performance alone. With so many followers, how can I leave the town? Besides, Grandpa Hoffman, the circus is just a few hundred meters away from the town. With just a little road, no one dares to have any intentions for me. As long as I scream, the town guards will hear it."

Hoffman looked at the girl quietly without saying a word, with a serious expression and an expression that was uncontroversial. Seeing that the situation was not good, the girl's tone became a little gentler, and changed to a negotiated tone and said, "Grandpa Hoffman, why don't you just accompany me. Let the 10 followers go back. I really want to see the magic show in the circus. Just let me go and see it. Today is their last day here. I don't know when I will wait for them to come next time."

Seeing the girl pulling the corner of her clothes again and acting coquettishly, Hoffman's heart softened again. He sighed helplessly and nodded slowly, "Okay. But if the lady comes home, if the master asks, you must not talk about your going to the circus?"

"Yeah." The girl cheered and answered, then pulled Hoffman away excitedly. Not long after they left, two thin men in the crowd who had been paying attention to their direction from afar began to whisper.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Yes, this is the daughter of the Oak family! As long as we succeed, the brothers will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Hehehehe..."

Time flies, the sky is getting dark, the sunset passes, the moon rises, and in a blink of an eye, it is already midnight. Today's circus performance is the last day, and the tents are full, and various magic and acrobatics programs are emerging one after another, which makes the girls who came to watch the circus performance for the first time completely immersed in it, and they actually forgot the time to return home. It is only when the circus closing time is the end of the circus that I remember to go home.

"Huh! It's so wonderful, Grandpa Hoffman! I want to come to the circus to watch the performance next year!" Walking on the narrow path leading to the town, the girl danced to the moon excitedly, but after walking a few steps, when she couldn't hear Hoffman's response for a long time, her cute little face showed an angry expression. She turned around and was about to complain to Hoffman, but she saw a scene that made her stand on the spot.

The old Hoffman was actually pressed against the throat by a man in black with a black cloth covering his mouth with a dagger. The dagger was faintly embedded in the flesh, and a clear blood oozed out of the tip. The girl was immediately frightened by this sudden action. Her legs kept trembling, and her teeth couldn't help but tremble. Her back had been soaked in cold sweat because of this sudden change.

"You...what are you going to do!" After a long silence, the girl stammered and said this sentence.

"Hahahaha! Little sister, we have no malice, but, uncle is very short of money. I want to ask for a little from your father. You don't have to be afraid, uncle, just let you live with me for a few days. After a few days, as long as your father brings the money in full, we will let you and you, the old housekeeper, don't worry." Seeing the girl's appearance, I was very frightened, another man in black next to Hoffmann, who did not hold a dagger, squatted down and comforted the girl, and said,

"Ah! Help!" the girl screamed, turned around in the direction of the town and ran away. The man in black was stunned by the girl's sudden behavior. Then, the man in black who had just smiled at the girl immediately showed a cold expression on his face.

"Want to run away? Brothers! Come out for me!"

"ah!?"

After the order of the man in black, seven or eight figures suddenly emerged from the woods on both sides of the road, blocking the girl, each with black cloth covering her face, tall and muscular. The girl was so scared that her legs softened and kneeled on the ground, her mind was blank, and she wanted to call for help, but she felt like her chest was blocked by something, and she couldn't send a word for a long time. She was really scared.

"Hmph! If you cooperate just now, won't you have nothing left? You want to run away, and it's useless to shout for help. This place is still a distance from the town. If it's so late, no one will pass by here. Even if it's passed, you won't be able to save you at will." Seeing that the girl had given up on the idea of ​​running away, the man in black who had previously talked to the girl laughed twice, then stopped talking nonsense, made a gesture to his companion, and ordered: "Brothers, tie her up for me! Let brothers enjoy this daughter tonight, what does it feel like! Wow! Hahahaha..."

Seeing that the boss had ordered, the big men nodded and laughed lewdly, but as soon as they arrived in front of the girl and were about to tie him up, they heard a clear voice suddenly sounded in their ears, "Stop!"

When the men in black heard this, they turned around and looked for the source of the sound, but could not see a figure. While they were wondering, a clear voice sounded again: "Stop looking for it! I'm on top of your head!"

Hearing this, the man in black looked up and felt a sense of fear in his heart. In the air above their heads, a young man with his eyes closed floating. He held a dagger and directed the other men in black and recognized that this man was a liar who played magic in public during the day. Both of them showed a sneer on their faces.

The young man ignored the two of them, but raised his right hand slightly and chanted "Fireball!" in his mouth, a fist-sized fireball appeared in his palm. Then he pointed to the black-clothed one beside Hoffmann, who was not holding a dagger, and the fireball escaped from his hand like lightning and rushed towards the leader of the man in black. The fireball was flying too fast, and the man in black had no time to even have the idea of ​​escaping, and was hit by the fireball head-on, becoming a burning fireman surrounded by flames. After a few seconds, his body turned into a pile of steaming black and gray.

"You...Who are you?" He died in front of him in an instant when he saw his companion, and even his bones turned into black ashes, which scared the girl all the men in black who were surrounded by blood. The men in black holding a dagger even trembled slightly. He looked up at the young man and asked in a trembling voice.
