557. Let them go with the flow
The water elves in the open-air water theater are more free and relaxed than the orthodox singing and dancing of the Royal Theater, and you may not be able to get anything out of it, but you don't have to meditate on every movement of the performers, and tangle the skills and meanings contained in them. Karp didn't know what the rest of the audience thought of the performance, but at least he and Kona were still happy even when they stood at the back of the audience because they didn't have seats.
However, the show was halfway through when they arrived, so it didn't take long for the two of them to watch it and it was over.
At this time, the audience began to exit the venue in an orderly manner according to the waiter's prompts, and Karp and Kona were the same, but when Karp left, his mental power locked on Hiromi, who had performed in the theater before, and after he and Kona left the water theater, they also got out of the crowd at the entrance of an alley and disappeared into the backstreet with no lights.
"Karp, have you found their base?"
Kona follows Karp, and it seems that she is closer to Karp because she is in the back street where there are no people.
"Actually, I found their base at the beginning, but we were there to deliver things and not to be thieves, so when I first found out that no one was in their base, I dragged you into the water theater."
Kona just nodded at Karp's decision, she trusted Karp very much, and she didn't think Karp would lie to her about this kind of thing, so even though she thought Karp's explanation was a bit far-fetched, she didn't ask anything, just followed Karp's footsteps out of the deepest part of the back street, and completely entered the forest at the end of Rota Street.
Karp does have his own thoughts, after all, the group of people they are going to meet next is the people of water, judging from the way they exchanged with Xiao Yao when they introduced the people of water in the original work, Karp felt that they might have concealed their identity as the last descendant of the people of water, so when there was no one in their base before, Karp didn't rush there, afraid of startling the snake.
And Karp felt that it was a bit abrupt to get close to the past as a lost pedestrian like Ash and his party in the original work, but approaching the past while they were all there was a valid reason was obviously the most reassuring thing for them.
Karp may be making a bit of a fuss, but this group is also a well-known theater company that can be invited to perform by the Grand Theater despite the identity of the Water People, and it is not surprising that such a group has a few avid fans, so Karp will try to avoid those behaviors that will misunderstand the other party and make things troublesome.
When Karp and Kona find the modified bus of the Little Wharf Circus, Hiromi is eating and chatting with her parents and grandfather in the open space next to the bus, because this is already a very remote location for the forest, so Karp and Kona suddenly emerge from the bushes and make them stop eating and cast a puzzled look.
"Are you lost?"
Hiromi's grandfather, Shipp, was the first to ask, after all, although their location was remote, it was not a place that would not be found, and it was not impossible for a trainer to come here by mistake.
"No, we came to you because of something."
Karp replied very simply, after all, their purpose was to give the crate containing the elven eggs to the Little Wharf Circus, and if they said that they were lost pedestrians now, then it would probably take a long time for things to come to fruition.
"I was commissioned by my teacher, and he asked me to deliver this elf egg to you."
Kona listened to Karp's response and picked up his words with great understanding, and opened the case, revealing the storage capsule and the strange elven egg in the suitcase.
If it were another elven egg, the people of the water might only refuse to see it, but the elven egg brought by Kona is quite different from the ordinary elven egg, or in other words, if you judge it by first impression, maybe no one will think that it is an elf egg, but that it is an elf egg.
The blue shell as a whole presents a transparent texture, and there are some colored balls inside that shake with Kona's breath under the protection of the blue shell, such a strange elf egg as long as it has an impression of it, as long as you see it, you will never admit it, and the old man named Shipp in front of Kona is the person who knows what this elf egg is and what it represents.
Originally, Shipp saw Kona open the suitcase only because Karp and she were fans of the small dock, and they were just here to find an excuse to come and give a gift. Although such fans are rare, they have not encountered them before, so the old man wanted to refuse at first.
But when he saw the elven egg, although the words of refusal were raised in his throat, he did not say it, but took the suitcase from Kona's hand. This elf egg is a gift that the people of water can never refuse, so although he doesn't know who Kona's teacher is and what his purpose is, he must accept this elf egg.
After all, this is the prince's egg, and escorting the newborn prince back to his hometown is also the responsibility and obligation of their water people.
"May I ask who your teacher really is?"
By the time she handed the suitcase to Shipp, Kona's task was over, at least on the surface, but she answered the old man's question in a serious manner.
"My teacher is Austin Academy's Dean Austin, any questions?"
Because the old man's tone was a little strange when he asked, Kona didn't take his eyes off the old man after answering, but the old man was relieved when he heard Kona's answer.
"It turned out to be Austin, and if it was him, I could rest assured, this time I'm bothering you, and the next task will be handed over to us."
Although Kona was a little strange about the old man's words, the old man didn't intend to say that the etiquette she had learned from elementary school did not allow her to ask a stranger about it, so she withdrew her gaze when she heard the old man say this.
"In that case, let's leave first."
Seeing Kona say this, Karp said a few goodbyes to the water people at the small dock, and then took Kona back into the forest and left.
Just like Karp said to Kona on the street, although he knew what would happen here, but he respected Austin's trial and Kona's choice, all he could do was wait for Kona to clean up the mess with her when she was done, so Karp wouldn't have any problem if she decided to leave.
As for the pirates, the water people, and Manafei, if there is no trouble, let them let it be.
