Chapter One Thousand and Five: Cecily, Nogus, and Agata

Josh walked up to the stage alone. Standing here, she could see Josh and Ciri who were sitting in the auditorium.

When Josh stood on the stage, the audience was still discussing the topic of Tailin's retirement.

Tylin's retirement had a huge impact on Nolan and the whole world.

Even standing on the stage, Josh could still feel the... lost atmosphere from the auditorium.

Josh's heart was also full of disappointment. Today's spellcaster forum should have been bombed by deflagration magic. The discussion about Tailin's retirement should last for a long time.

But these have nothing to do with Josh, she is not standing on this stage because of... the retreat of the person she admires.

"Hi everyone... My name is Josh, a student from the Muilena Private Magic Academy, and it's my first time standing on this stage."

When Josh said this, no one in the audience noticed her.

This is also a matter of course. It is still too difficult for a rookie singer who has just debuted for less than three days to attract attention.

So Josh chose to give up continuing to introduce himself, and nodded slightly to the attendants who were in charge of accompaniment behind the stage.

All she has to do now is sing.

The accompaniment of "you·belong·e" sounded slowly.

Josh was a little nervous when she sang the first line of the lyrics, but she quickly entered the state she should have.

This song belongs to the type that can't make people feel amazing at the first listen, but the more you listen to it, the more comfortable it becomes.

With the ups and downs of Josh's singing, the discussion in the auditorium has gradually stopped, and they all focused their attention on the girl who had never seen under the spotlight

When the last note of the whole song came to an end, Josh let out a long breath.

Applause, standing on the stage for the first time, she received applause from the audience.

This should have been something to be happy about, but Josh's heart was unexpectedly very calm.

The audience applauded, and Josh could occasionally hear a sentence or two, 'This song is indeed a song praised by Miss Tailin. '

This comment is the best compliment for Josh as a fan.

She did not have the ambition of being number one on this stage, after all, this was just the beginning of her identity as a singer.

Josh bowed to all the audience, and she returned to the back of the stage.

'Played perfectly. '

A text message from her mother appeared on her magic web interface.

‘It’s a pity that I didn’t get the chance to sing the second song my father had prepared. '

Josh replied with some pity.

‘It’s okay, your birthday is coming soon, so I’ll play it at your birthday party. '

Ciri sent a little girl giving a thumbs up emoji, which Josh remembered seemed to be the logo of a candy brand.

'Birthday? By the way... Mother, do you know the reason why Tailin retired? '

Josh remembered that her birthday was indeed a few days later, but now she was more concerned about why Tailin retired.

'You'll know if you ask her yourself when the time comes. '

Ciri sent a meaningful text.

'Can I ask her myself? when is it '

Josh hurriedly pressed questions on the text message, but Shirley only answered her with a 'confidential' answer.

……………………

After three days.

Josh sat in his room and looked at the magic web interface. The World Chanter's Shining Group competition had ended for almost three days.

Before the start of the competition, she also fantasized that she could shine in the competition, but in fact... she is just a relatively shining star in the shining group.

This is the so-called embellishment.

News about Tai Lin's announcement of retirement is everywhere on the Monet, and Josh is also refreshing the caster forum every day to find some useful information.

Tylin's caster camp has officially announced the reason for his retirement, which is 'wanting to go around the world. '

The comment with the most likes under this message is "Traveling around all the countries with the portal is only 300 days at most. Miss Tailin, if you want to have fun, add another 100 days, which is a little more than a year. We can afford to wait. Wouldn't it be nice to take a long vacation? '

As a matter of course, Josh clicked in agreement with this message.

There are still a lot of shady posts on the caster forum, and Josh doesn't even have the thought of clicking on those posts.

But Josh still didn't want to believe Tailin's reason for retiring from the caster's camp.

"Josh! Open the door!"

She was continuing to refresh Tailin's camp, and when she wanted to see what new news there was... There was a knock on the door of her room.

Josh walked quickly to the door of the room, and as soon as she opened the door, colorful lights rushed towards her.

She took a step back subconsciously, and the light gradually dissipated from around her body.

"Father, what are you doing!" Josh saw clearly that the person standing outside the door was his father, Josh.

Those multicolored lights are the product of a form of illusory magic and are generally celebrated.

"Of course it's happy birthday, have you forgotten what day it is?"

As Josh said, another pile of ribbons appeared in his hand and scattered into Josh's room.

"Birthday?"

Josh looked at his father's attire and found that he was wearing a colorful bowler hat on his head, as if it was his birthday today instead of himself.

"I see...Father, don't throw things into it anymore, okay?"

Josh looked at the ribbons dancing in the air, and it took her a lot of magic power to clean up these debris.

"It's five o'clock in the afternoon, hurry up and dress up, we have a lot of guests to welcome today."

Josh walked into his eldest daughter's room on his own, and then opened Josh's closet.

"Guest? I know... I know!"

Josh put his hand on his own Joshua's back, and pushed the father who was rummaging through his clothes out of the room, then closed the door of the room and locked it again.

After she locked it, she looked at the sky outside the window. It was almost dusk, and the sun would set soon.

But compared to this, she cared more about who the guest Joshua mentioned was.

In Josh's memory, neither her father nor her mother mentioned her past, including whether they would have other relatives.

And Josh was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions, but that World Singer Competition made Josh feel strange.

Her younger sister Qiaoya has known too many mentors who seem to be very powerful, and Miss Tailin's attitude towards her is also a bit strange.

With these thoughts in mind, Josh pushed open the door of the room. She was wearing her daily robes today, which for her meant 'dressing up'.

Josh opened the door and walked slowly to the hall of the house, which was originally used to place shops.

But the merchandise cabinets had all disappeared at some point, replaced by a long table.

"Father! Where are the products we sell?" Josh shouted loudly upstairs.

"threw!"

In the next second, Qiao Xiu said an answer that made Josh stunned.

"Throw them away?!"

When Josh was about to go up to confront his father, the door of the shop was suddenly pushed open...

Her first reaction was that there was a visitor, so Josh hurried to the door.

"We won't open that today..."

When Josh was about to dissuade the guest from leaving, the man standing at the door made her voice pause.

Because in terms of temperament, this man is really terrifying, as if he will be killed if he is stared at.

"Josh?" The man asked her name.

what happened? I... I was hunted down by some mercenary group?

Josh remembered that he usually didn't mess with anyone, and his interpersonal communication in the circle of friends was also very harmonious.

The man's question made Josh nod his head.

"Nogus, your way of greeting is still too rough."

But at this moment, a woman came out from behind the man. She seemed to be of the same type as this man, except that her hair and eyes were a rare fiery red.

"Cercily, you don't need to worry about it."

Nogus was still looking Josh up and down, and suddenly pulled out a long sword from his side and stabbed it into the ground.

"I...I'm going to call the law enforcement team!"

Josh quickly took a step back, looking at the long sword piercing deeply into the ground, she was basically sure that the person in front of her was definitely a thug or something.

"Pull it out."

Nogus didn't feel any fear because of the word law enforcement team. He watched Josh while pointing his finger at the sword and said.

"What did you say?" Josh didn't understand what this guy was doing here.

"Pull out this sword, you should be able to do it, and you must do it."

As he spoke, Noggs took a step back to give Josh room.

Josh glanced at Nogus hesitantly, but she still stepped forward cautiously and held the sword with both hands.

The blade pierced the ground at least one meter deep, and the strength of an ordinary girl would not be able to pull out the sword, but Josh was no ordinary girl.

In a state that she couldn't detect, the gray magic power surrounded Josh's hand, and she easily pulled out the long sword as soon as she exerted force.

It was only at this moment that Josh realized that the forging of this sword was very exquisite, and it seemed to be specially made for a girl like her. It was very comfortable for her to hold in her hand.

"Give it back to you, and get out of here." Josh didn't forget which strange stranger this sword belonged to.

"No need... this thing is yours, birthday present."

Noggs nodded in satisfaction after seeing Josh's display of strength.

"Still inheriting our blood? And this."

Cecily also took out a package and threw it to Josh. Josh caught the package steadily, and the whole package looked heavy.

"This is a gift for your sister," Cecily said.

"My sister... May I ask who are you?" Josh asked while looking at the two people in front of him, holding the long sword and the package.

"I am your father's older sister, and he is your father's older brother." Cecily made a brief self-introduction.

"And I'm your father's brother's wife!"

When Josh was wondering, behind which man appeared... a person from the Frost Land who looked like his mother.

"Agata!" Nogus yelled loudly.

"Don't be shy, and don't worry about Josh... He looks a little fierce, but he still cares about the growth of the two of you on the road." The woman named Agata said to Josh.

"thank you all."

Josh entered a state of confusion again, but to be honest...she didn't want to be missed by such a dangerous person.
