Obviously not injured, but claimed to be injured. Sivi felt that even with his knees, he could feel the catty in it.

It's just that he didn't plan to puncture the ...... After all, they were strangers who were hitchhiking, and even if they did, the owners of the troupe would believe who wouldn't know.

Whether voluntarily or otherwise, the dancer was definitely not going to help Cutler participate in future competitions.

But in this way, Xiwei also has a new consideration.

Under the cold gaze of Sophia and Shalan, he took his schoolgirl Joke to find the owner of the Cutler Performing Arts Troupe, a man named Ryan. Cutler's half-bald middle-aged man.

"Oh, kind and gracious Mr. Cutler, I have heard about Miss Weiss, and it is sad news."

Xiwei said in an extremely regretful tone to the middle-aged man who was scratching his ears and cheeks with worry, and took advantage of the other party's inattention to get two drops of water in the corners of his eyes to pretend to be sad tears.

Weiss was the dancer who pretended to be injured.

"It's Mr. Edric. Alas...... It'......"

Ryan. Cutler grudgingly squeezed out a smile, but then his face became sad again.

"My wife and I had a hard time choreographing such a wonderful new dance, and it took Viss a lot of time to become proficient...... This would have happened before reaching Haveland. He looked very frustrated, and said to himself, "It seems that even the gods of art don't want me to participate in the Haveland's show company competition." ”

Along the way, Xiwei's easy-going and generous attitude made the owner of this performing arts troupe quite favorable, plus that huge sense of loss. made him not in the mood to continue to be vigilant - anyway, after losing the biggest capital of his acting troupe, this little broken performing arts troupe has nothing to plot.

"Even though this happened, I think it would be better for Mr. Cutler not to give up so easily."

It was only at this time that Sivi began to get to the point: "Actually, I just met a new student of my former mentor in the town, and as a very good puppeteer, she also plans to participate in Avelan's acting competition. ”

"Huh?"

Because he suddenly heard his name, Qiu Ke, who was a little absent-minded just now, raised his head and showed a puzzled look on his face.

"It's just that although she has superb puppet manipulation skills, she doesn't have music and sets that can set off the atmosphere." Ignoring the girl's strange expression, Sivi continued, "I'm sure Mr. Cutler knows what that means. ”

There is no music and no sets. No matter how good the doll is. Under the carefully prepared programs of other performing arts troupes, they will still not achieve good results because they seem too simple.

"What do you mean, Mr. Edric?"

Ryan. After all, Cutler has been adrift in the Eastern Plains for so long with his own acting troupe, and he has a lot of experience. Listen to what Sivi has to say. Naturally, there was already a vague guess in my head.

"I hope you can cooperate. Win the prize money of the show business competition together. Xiwei was also unambiguous and said bluntly.

"But, but...... This young lady is not from our entertainment company, and it seems a bit unruly to do so...... "Ryan. Cutler hesitated.

"Jocco. Can you be a temporary member of Cutler's Performing Arts? ”

Sivi turned around and asked the girl, who was still a little confused, "Just start from the rehearsal and continue to the end of the performance." ”

"Well, that's fine." The girl said that there was no pear.

"But, but......" Ryan. Cutler still seems a little hesitant.

"Mr. Cutler, do you want to try to cooperate with Jocco and get a prize of 100 gold coins together, or do you want to leave without even touching Avelan's stage?"

Sivi continued to fan the flames on the sidelines: "Think about your members, your acting troupe. Even if the prize money will be reduced, that huge amount of money can still make a huge difference in your efforts! ”

Probably thinking of his wife and children who had been adrift with him for half his life, the middle-aged man's gaze gradually became firm in confusion.

"Okay, but before that, I hope to be able to meet this ......" The middle-aged man looked at Qiu Ke, only then did he realize that he didn't know the name of the other party, but he had experienced a lot of wind and waves, so he naturally wouldn't be stumped by this kind of thing: "This young lady's puppetry." ”

Xiwei looked at Qiu Ke with an inquiring gaze, and the girl nodded to him with a heartfelt smile.

She then pulled out a series of dolls from her duffel bag and began to manipulate them with silk string magic, performing all sorts of funny and funny actions under the watchful eye of the troupe's owner......

The final result is naturally a happy ending.

"It's amazing! I've never seen such a young and brilliant puppeteer! "Ryan. Cutler's face glowed red with excitement, and the expression of loss had long been thrown out of the clouds by him, and he took a small box from the carriage, and took out several rolls of parchment from it, and from the names on the parchment seals, these are probably the kind of popular storyboards: "Wait a minute, I will definitely find you the best story!" ”

"No, Mr. Cutler, you've gone into a misunderstanding about the script."

Sivi shook his head: "If it's a well-known story, then naturally there's nothing to look forward to." Didn't you feel this too, so you choreographed a new dance? ”

"However, there are less than two days left before the start of the game...... "Ryan. Cutler was embarrassed and said, "Where do I go to find new stories?" ”

Sivi smiled and tapped his temples, "Mr. Cutler, have you forgotten who I am?" ”

“…… That's right! The middle-aged man suddenly realized: "Speaking of stories, who in the Eastern Plains knows more than Mr. Edric, you troubadours!" ”

Hearing this, Qiu Ke tilted his head strangely, and just wanted to ask out loud what Sivi was about to turn into a troubadour in the other party's mouth, but Sivi took the first step and gently tapped the girl's forehead with his index finger.

Although it didn't hurt, Qiu Ke also understood that now was not the time to ask questions, so he covered his forehead and quieted down.

"That's it, I'll leave the story to me, and Mr. Cutler might as well go and prepare the music and the set for the puppet."

The rest is simple.

As an earthling living in the era of the information explosion, after casually fooling Jocke, he casually selected useful plots from some movies he watched and combined them into a fast-paced story suitable for puppet shows.

Although the overall plot seems to Sivi to be very old-fashioned and bloody, whether it is Sophia or Ryan, who is full of poetry books (including romance and knight novels). Cutler gave the story "Knights of Monte Cristo" very highly.

Even Sharan pestered Sivi to tell him the rest of the story.

And the characters in it are also very common, and the whole story can be completed with the doll already in the Juke duffel bag.

After rehearsing with the puppet a few times, Joke quickly mastered the not-so-long script.

All that's left is the set that's still in a hurry, and the background music that hasn't been decided yet.

Because of the new hope, the originally somewhat lifeless Cutler Performing Arts is once again full of amazing vitality.

Except for one person.

was originally the backbone dancer of the performing arts troupe, Miss Weiss who pretended to be injured.

Hiding behind the tent of the carriage, listening to the laughter and laughter of her companions who stayed up late to work on the set, she narrowed her already slender Danfeng eyes, and her pretty face also showed a trace of hideousness.

The next day, when Joke, who was staying at the inn (sponsored by Sivi), woke up to find that his duffel bag had been turned over as if it had been pickpocketed, and the dolls inside had been found and destroyed with scissors or something.

And the people of Cutler also woke up to find that the set that had been worked on in a hurry last night had been destroyed in the same way.

"It's so damning!" Ryan. Cutler thumped his chest: "Last night, because I was busy until late, I slept too soundly, but no one found out that this kind of thing happened!" ”

"Whew, there are a lot of dolls that I really like...... That scoundrel didn't open El's box for anything...... "Joke also looked lost, as if he would cry at any moment.

If the person who did such a thing really hit the head of the doll with the parts of the gods, I am afraid that it will be dismantled into pieces immediately......

At this time, a coachman ran over panting: "Boss, Sister Weiss is gone!" ”

"What?"

This even bigger blow made Cutler's eyes go black, and he almost fainted.

"Don't be nervous just yet." At the critical moment, it was Sivi who spoke up to stabilize the situation: "If I'm not mistaken, that Miss Weiss should appear in front of you soon." ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Edric?" Ryan. As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Cutler rushed to Sivi and grabbed Sivi by the shoulder.

But in the next moment, he felt dazzled, and the whole person pounced into the air, and almost fell on the ground to eat.

"Actually, last night because of the troubadour's intuition, I went out of town and found out that there was another convoy stationed outside the town."

Sivi kindly hinted: "The flag pattern of that team is a wolf's head biting a gold coin. ”

"It's the Ross Performing Arts!" Ryan. Cutler jerked his head up, his expression a mixture of surprise and anger: "It must have been Ross's bastard who has been trying to swallow us up!" I've known for a long time that he's been a bastard who can do anything from the beginning! (To be continued......)
