After watching the intruders leave, Arthas and Esni entered the circus' doors. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the circus was not rich enough to have its own island, but there was no such all-out war between the alliance tribes at this time, so it was not a high-level brigade advocating peace for the time being, but a simple playground-like place.

And in a world where there are no high-powered electric lights, and even candles are rare outside of Dalaran, the Dark Moon Circus at night did not get the home bonus as its name suggests, but instead reduced its score a lot because of the dim lights and the pitch-black four fields. The Lordaerons, who were accustomed to returning home after dark, had left the venue early, so that the two of them had just walked around twice, and the sight of people going to the empty building was already in front of them.

"Looks like it's not a good idea to come here in the evening."

In the gray light, Arthas said with some embarrassment. However, under Arthas's slightly apologetic gaze, Esney did not look disappointed, she just looked around, and then said: "The circus is not the only day here, this time it is just bad luck." ”

Having said that, Arthas felt the air around the girl grow quieter.

"But you can't go out for nothing," thinking that he couldn't live up to the other party's expectations, Arthas once again carefully looked at the inside of the park, and then, he reached out and pointed to the only tent in front of him that was still lit, "Why don't we go and see that." ”

With an attitude of indispensability, the two men entered the tent, only to find that it was a place similar to a divination hut. In a world where there is really holy light, magic, and prophecy arcane, this kind of trick of pretending to be a god with a crystal ball can no longer deceive anyone, so most of them are just games to fool children in the streets and alleys for amusement.

However, unlike the witches in Arthas's memories of wearing tattered cloaks, using incense lights and a little trick to infinitely exaggerate the mystery, the person sitting on the other side of the crystal ball was a very diminutive-looking figure, with no tattered cloak, no dizzying incense, instead a clean interior that made people doubt seriousness, and the child's face with a sheep's bun.

"Hey, the gnomes are playing this now, too?"

Gnomes are the darlings of intelligence, and while they are physically terrible, they are quite adept at brain-demanding tasks like spells and engineering. Because of this, all the dwarfs who have a little talent have already gone to the lofty profession of mage, and it can be said that the owner of this circus can be said to be because of a bit of fearlessness, but when a witch who cheats children, this is really a bit ......

"What do you two want to see?" As if not seeing the strange expression on Arthas's face, the dwarf woman in a sheep's bun spread out her hands and asked in a tone that was very in line with her appearance, "Is it the future, the fortune, or the marriage?" ”

Otherwise, this line is too old-fashioned, and when I opened my mouth, a suspicious cold visible to the naked eye came out, hey, is this really okay?

"Hmm...... Since you have invited me so sincerely," Arthas replied, though he complained violently in his heart, and reluctantly pretended to be serious, "then let's count it as a marriage." ”

"Uh, why are you talking?" The dwarf woman was stunned for a moment, "Shouldn't women be the first priority at this time?" ”

"If you dare to love, your target is not on me!" Arthas rolled his eyes, "I'll come first, what, can't I?" ”

"Of course, my dear customer," the dwarf rolled his eyes, and the suspicious smile on his face returned, "well, then let the great god of marriage give me the power to settle your marriage." ”

“…… There are so many gods in this world. Alsace expressed his feelings dryly.

"Where did the stinky boy come from so many words," the dwarf stopped doing it when she heard this, and saw her jump on the table with a puff, pointing at Arthas and saying, "Aren't you married, okay, let me tell you, you guy, you deserve to have no wife for the rest of your life, and a lonely life is your future!" ”

"Then I'll borrow your good words," Arthas said, spreading his hands back, "Well, why are you so excited?" ”

"This old man is millions of gold coins in minutes, how can I have that time to play with your child, get out of the way, I want to do business!" With a disgusted wave of his hand to drive Arthas away, the dwarf jumped off the table and came to Esney, and then, with that suspicious smile returned to her face, "Do you want to do a trigram, big sister?" ”

"You just called yourself an old man......"

"Not interested."

"So don't talk too much, children, I'm still ......" The dwarf silenced Arthas in the air, and then noticed the answer from the other side, "Wait, don't you think about it?" ”

"Otherwise, you're suspicious enough now, Master Khadgar is also in the city, and people will definitely know about your use of spells like this, right?" Seeing that the force was definitely invincible, Arthas began to perform a chatter stunt, "And the two of us just came out to relax, everyone has no grievances, why bother?" ”

"Theoretically, Khadgar shouldn't be here right now, is he?" The dwarf suddenly turned around and looked at Arthas, and the very deliberate voice just now became low, "Arthas Minehir, how many times are you going to make waves during this time?" ”

"Are you ......" Arthas subconsciously turned his head to look at Esni, but he saw that he didn't know when, everything around him seemed to turn gray-white like a stone statue, and Esni was naturally no exception, "Time Keeper?" ”

"Look, you've uttered another term that you can't possibly say at this time in time," the bronze dragon in the form of a dwarf looked at Arthas like a predator looking at its prey, "Seriously, Lich King, I didn't want to do anything to you today, after all, I could feel that the break point in time was not because of you. However, this time, even Gianna was affected, and if I didn't make a move, wouldn't it be counted as dereliction of duty? ”

Arthas certainly knows the importance of Gianna in the "future", and he also knows that without Gianna, the "future" of this world will definitely become unseemly, for example, the admiral who would not have died in the Second World War has chosen to participate in that expedition that is destined to have no turning back. However, what surprised him was that the bronze dragon, who had disappeared completely in the previous life when Gianna became the Lich King, would suddenly come to the door now when "the change is not so big".

"Your next sentence must be," the dwarf said, tilting his head, "what did you do when Gianna became the Lich King?" ”

“……”

"Don't you say? Doesn't that seem rude? The bronze dragon who was not polite at all spread his hands, "It's very simple, the person in charge of that timeline is not me. Compared to my colleagues, I was the most impatient, so when I noticed the anomaly, I rushed over as soon as I noticed it. ”

“……”

"What, I'm so scared that I can't speak?" Looking at Arthas, who was silent, the bronze dragon smiled, "Obediently tie your hands and take it, Lich King, in this case, maybe I will consider being lenient with you, you see, it is not bad to combat amnesia......"

"If amnesia solves everything, then you don't have to talk too much here," Arthas interrupted the performance, "There's no Gianna now, and if there's no more Alsace, this timeline will be the end of the real word, right?" ”

The bronze dragon looked at Arthas in surprise, and then sneered, "That's right, but you don't take yourself too seriously, or you'll ......"

"Otherwise, when Gianna becomes the Lich King, you won't be inactive with me," Arthas said, "and that's what you're going to say, right?" ”

"Pretty much that," the gnome in the form of the bronze dragon took a few steps forward, then frowned, turned and jumped onto the table beside him, "All in all, His Royal Highness Prince Arthas, who is very weak, now that Gianna is inexplicably gone, I need a little help from you." ”

"You don't have to stress about being weak." Arthas sat down with a box next to him, then looked at the dwarf who was finally level, and asked, "So, how can I help?" ”

"It's not a particularly difficult thing," the bronze dragon's face became serious, "deliberately avoiding certain things may instead lead you in that direction." So where I want you to help, not to stop anything, but to try to keep key people like Gianna from disappearing. ”

"Me too?"

“…… You too," said the bronze dragon, "I know you probably wouldn't be that kind enough to accept the position of Lich King, but again, if you die too, my side will be in trouble." ”

"What about Esni?"

"Esni?" The bronze dragon was stunned for a moment, and then followed Arthas's gaze to see the girl who was cut off from time, "She...... Not...... Alsace, let me ask you a question. ”

“?”

"This Esni ...... That is, Astralia Mograini, her date of birth, do you remember? ”

"Three years younger than me, what?"

"It's nothing," Seeing Arthas's still dazed expression, the gnome incarnated by the bronze dragon shook his head, and then slashed a spatial door in the void that shimmered with the brilliance of arcane lightning, "Actually, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to investigate it today, but I wasted my time on you......"

"Hey."

"Although it can be regarded as a gain, but it is not wrong for you to disturb my plan," the Bronze Dragon appeared in the hand of the hardcover brochure of the Darkmoon Circus that Esney had read, "Alas, it's rare that I have such a childlike heart to compile such a book, take it back to relieve my father's boredom......"

While thinking in pieces, the bronze dragon didn't even say hello, and ran directly into the portal, and when he looked at it again, the special effect of time standing still around him was long gone, only the newly recovered Esney looked at the scene in the tent a little dazedly, and his expression was out of control, but he looked silly, much more interesting than usual.

"It's ......"

"It seems that witches with great powers don't like us very much," Arthas said, looking at the girl who was obviously unclear about the situation, "So, let's leave those who don't speak clearly, why don't you take you to something else tomorrow?" ”

"Since it is His Highness's intention......," Esni said, "then there is only expectation below." ”
