Chapter 72: An Unexpected Encounter

The iron-clad wheels ran over the wide road, and small pebbles flew out, and I don't know what they had touched, and they creaked.

A horse-drawn carriage with a well-looking exterior but a lot of smoke on the outer wall shuttles through the street full of cars and pedestrians, which is somewhat abrupt.

"Huh~ I haven't been in the city for more than half a month, but the atmosphere here makes me miss it a lot. ”

Donald peered out the window at the cityscape...... As a city developed by minerals, the industrial structure of Rock Castle is destined to be a heavy industrial city, which means that the whole city will never look good, at least not under the decoration of the big chimneys that are billowing black smoke.

Of course, for Donald, who spends most of his months in the wilderness and in remote towns, this kind of city is a very good resting point.

"We'll go our separate ways later. ”

Chariss maintained her usual elegance and looked at Donald and said.

"According to the plan you said earlier, isn't that friend who should take me to see you next?"

Donald pursed his lips at Charis's sudden request and asked rhetorically.

"I'll take you to see her, but that's only after I've communicated with her and asked for her permission, and I remember telling you before that she's in a similar situation to me, and I'm friends with her...... Just friends!"

The implication of these words is very clear, Xia Ruisi's relationship with the other party is not good enough to bring a stranger to visit at will.

Of course, Donald didn't believe that there was no desire to avoid Donald and discuss something with her friends first.

It's just that it's all here, and Donald is not ready to turn his face with Charis at the end, so after a little hesitation, he raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the car behind him, and Barlow, who was driving in front, immediately stopped the car.

"I'll wait for your reply, but please don't keep me waiting too long, I've always been a patient person, but that's on something worth the wait. ”

Opening the car door and getting out of the car in front of a restaurant, Donald pressed his silk top hat and quickly turned his eyes to a nearby café.

A cup of hot bitter coffee, a few delicate petit fours.

Near the window, Donald surveyed the crowd outside, occasionally glancing at their cheeks and what was in their hands, thinking about their work or what they were going to do.

Bitterness and sweetness are intertwined in the mouth, and it tastes much better than eating the barbecue all the way and the vegetable soup in the town, and it feels very good.

"Sir, given that you have ordered more than 2 shillings, this is a coupon that we have attached for the concert today and tomorrow. ”

The waiter at the café put a long strip of cards on the table and said with a smile.

"Concert?"

Picked up the card and glanced at it, and found that there was a game at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already 12:30 noon, and Xia Ruisi estimated that it would take half a day if there was no accident, so he shook the card and asked,

"Well, I don't want to spend money to blame my ears. ”

"Of course, this is a concert at Rock Castle, a highly sought-after event in the past...... It's just that it's no longer perfect because of some changes in the city, but I promise you that it won't disappoint, after all, the place will change, but the artists who live in the area still haven't left. ”

The waiter seemed quite confident about the concert, and there was a little pride on his face when he introduced it.

"Sounds pretty good, I'll check it out. ”

After another pastry, Donald was thinking about where to spend his time while waiting, whether the concert was good or not, at least better than sitting in this café for an afternoon.

With a goal in mind, Donald naturally didn't continue to sit dry, and got up and left after drinking his coffee.

Walking through the streets with Finger, who had been in the carriage for a while, and rarely had a time to let the wind blow, now he was finally able to land, and he was very cheerful to walk around Donald, sniffing the mixed smell in the air, and looking for the wooden box by the side of the road to sharpen his paws.

Donald is also enjoying this rare private leisure time at this time, this journey with Charis is undoubtedly exhausting, the two seem to be cooperative allies, but the level of trust between each other is actually still a question mark, although each has compromises, but beware is always indispensable.

"Stop the industrial invasion!"

"Art needs more living space!"

"Stop the industrial invasion!"

......

Turning a street corner, a procession was on the road chanting slogans, and Donald stood aside and watched for a while to see that there were quite a few people, and most of them were well-dressed young or middle-aged people, and occasionally a few old women and old gentlemen could be seen.

The slogans they were calling for were written on the signs they were holding in their hands, which basically meant that the government on the side of Rock Castle would stop industrial expansion and restore the art city to its former glory.

What really attracted Donald was the mixed band at the front of the group, probably formed to show the importance of art, playing some movements as they went, and the people around them who stopped and stayed like Donald are the best proof of this.

"This is a rock castle, and in the past, artists from the surrounding areas rushed to hold concerts with us as a glory, but now we have to beg each other...... What is this, it's all those stupid people in the government who made this city what it is!"

Someone complained to his companion on the side of the road, and his companion was obviously upset, talking about the physical damage caused by the black smoke from the factory, and it quickly resonated quite widely.

There is no doubt that the development of industry is not all good.

Donald didn't have the heart to pay attention to this now, and at first he stopped out of curiosity, but as he walked behind the procession, he unexpectedly noticed some positive changes in his mental state.

Maybe normal people will have such a change of mood when they hear beautiful music, but Donald is different, as an awakened wizard, his will is not so easy to be shaken, you must know that when he is prepared, even Stefani's talent effect can't shake his mental state, how can this ordinary music team make him change.

There's only one possibility, some of the people in this band are aliens or something else!

In the same way, music that can transform the wizarding spirit of Donald to this level has a needless effect on ordinary people, and after walking less than two streets, there are many more people joining the parade or reveling in the music.

Donald followed and watched for a while, and soon he noticed that not only in the band, but also in the procession behind them were several silver five-stringed harp pendants with leaves around their necks.

It's a token, Donald affirms it, but for a moment he can't remember what this emblem represents, and he doesn't know if it's because he's never seen it before or if he's too old to remember it clearly.

Luckily, it doesn't seem to be some evil trick, and the music is limited to making people feel good and want to listen to it for a while, so it seems that someone in the parade is trying to increase the momentum in this way.

Donald has no intention of stopping this, even if he himself is supporting the industrialization of his city, but that does not mean that he likes such large factories that destroy the environment.

After asking the passers-by next to him to know that the procession would always go to the place where the concert was going to give a speech, Donald had no intention of leaving, and simply followed, as if it were a walk to pass the time.

Rock Castle Grand Theatre.

At the end of the procession, when Donald arrived here, he found that there were already many people standing in the square of the Grand Theater, in addition to those who were walking inside, there were also some people who might have come to listen to the speech, standing in front of the theater at a glance in front of the temporary wooden platform, waiting for the speaker to appear.

Naturally, Donald would not listen to such a speech, and when he arrived outside the theater, he immediately prepared to enter, and there were only a few minutes left before the concert began.

However, as he walked near the door, he stopped, and his brows involuntarily twisted together.

Turning his gaze to the two men at the main entrance of the theater, squinting at them, the two men also noticed Donald's presence, looked at each other and walked quickly to him.

"These guys can really be seen everywhere, is the world outside already chaotic to this extent? ”

Donald never thought that he just wanted to come to a concert, and the ticket checkers at the door would actually be two demon contractors, and he locked these two people almost immediately, and on the other hand, those two people also noticed him.

Beckoning Finger into his arms, Donald raised his hand and pointed at the two men, palms facing up, stretched out his index finger to hook it, and then stepped back and left, this kind of crowded square is really not a good place to do it.

He hadn't fought for a long time, and he was unexpectedly a little excited at this time!
