“...... Okay, now that today's story is over, it's time for me to go. With the last note played, the bard took the lute on his back and, to the cheer of the crowd, drank the liquor from the bar, and showed them the bottom of the glass.

Amid cheers and applause, the bard burped and left the tavern with a smile on his face.

After a few moments of silence, the tavern returned to its usual noisy atmosphere.

But soon, this 'routine' was broken!

Bang!

The door to the tavern was slammed open, and the light poured in from outside, followed by a large jumble of footsteps that shook the hearts of everyone in the tavern.

The people turned their heads in astonishment, and happened to see a uniformed officer stepping into the tavern with his hands behind his back, his piercing gaze scanning the room.

Then, the soldiers wearing swords rushed in, and before they could react, they walked up to them, took out a wanted post, pointed to the portrait on it, and asked them, "Have you seen this guy?"

The mercenary closest to the door opened his drunken eyes, and after a few closer looks, he frowned.

He seemed to know the man on the wanted notice, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him......

"Isn't that the bard?"

Suddenly, he heard an exclamation, and then there seemed to be a thunderbolt in his brain, which made him wake up, and pointed to the portrait and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's that bard, he just left!"

The mercenary's answer made the officer raise his eyebrows upward, what does it mean 'he just left'?

The officer took a few steps forward, walked up to the mercenary's side, and asked in a deep voice, "You said he just left?"

The mercenary opened his mouth, and just as he was about to answer, he burped, and the smell of wine and bad breath came to his nose, and the officer's face showed disgust and rejection, but he still waited for the mercenary's answer.

"Yes, he just left......" The mercenary raised his hand and pointed to the street outside the door, "just now, he was sitting next to me, and he just walked before you came......"

After receiving the answer, the officer immediately turned around and shouted at the soldiers: "Give me a chase! Give me a look! I must catch this guy today!"

Hearing the commander's order, the soldiers immediately moved and walked out of the tavern one after another, and soon, all the soldiers in the tavern disappeared, leaving only the sluggish-looking merchants and mercenaries, who looked at each other and did not know what was happening.

Anyway, the bard has been performing in this tavern for many days, but looking at the wanted warrants in the hands of those soldiers, it doesn't look like they can be made in a short time, could it be that the bard has done something else in other cities?

However, this gloomy atmosphere did not last long, and soon the tavern was lively again, and the matter became their talking point, and you and I pieced together the so-called 'truth', and the joyful atmosphere suddenly filled the tavern in the lower town.

Walking between excrement and dirty water, military boots trampling on the muddy ground, the officers ignored the stench that lingered on the tip of their noses, and walked through the streets with the soldiers, trying to find traces of the bard.

The soldiers had long since dispersed, walking through the streets with wanted warrants, and they would ask a question when they came across a person.

They were not the only ones who were now chasing the bard, and the officer had even heard that the bard had caused some trouble at Gordon, but he managed to escape.

This kind of thing is troublesome, but since the superiors have already ordered it, then they need to complete this task.

The whole town was boiling over with this, and each team was in charge of a zone, but by the end of the evening, the bard had not been caught.

Having found clues to his presence in the town, but failing to catch anyone was a disgrace to the officers on the mission of searching for and apprehending the bard.

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem impossible, after all, they have also heard that the bard had played with the army there in Gordon, and fled from Gordon under the siege of the army.

The officers discussed plans for tomorrow's search before going back to sleep.

But when they woke up the next day, ready to carry out the search plan again, they found that something strange seemed to be in the town.

People spontaneously walked out of their houses and gathered in the streets, looking up at the sky, but when the soldiers and officers looked up, they saw nothing.

"What are you doing?" asked a soldier in an unkind tone.

When the civilian who was pressed on the shoulder saw that the questioner was a soldier, his head shrank, his eyes flickered, and he stammered and replied: "Look, watch the show......"

"Performance?" the soldier frowned and looked up, but still didn't see anything, "What performance?"

"It's just playing and singing, it's right in that square, isn't it?" asked the civilian, surprised.

Looking at his look of bewilderment, the soldier felt that he might not be lying, but ......

"Where do we have a square here?" the soldier asked sharply as he quietly released his hand on his shoulder, placed it on the hilt of his sword.

"Isn't it just ahead?" the civilian raised his finger, but the direction of his finger was the sky.

It's magic!

The soldier's face changed suddenly, and his heart screamed wildly, and his eyes swept over the dark crowd on the street, and his heart suddenly filled with fear and panic.

He couldn't help but take a few steps backwards, but after that, his heel hit something.

Suddenly drawing his sword and turning around, the soldier roared behind him with red eyes: "Who?!"

"Wait a minute!

The blonde minstrel with a lute on his back raised his hands and shouted in alarm: "I have no ill will!

The soldier gasped a few times, looked at the bard's handsome face and deep blue eyes, and something seemed to flash through his mind, but it did not catch his attention.

Looking at this familiar face, the soldier clenched the hilt of his sword and asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"

"What ......," said the bard, puzzled, "of course it's a show! right in that square, isn't it?"

It's 'square' again......

The thought crossed the soldier's mind, but he couldn't help but look in the direction the bard was pointing.

"Huh?" the soldier blinked in disbelief, what did he see?

The clown, dressed in a strange white makeup, stood on a wooden ball with a smile and threw the small ball with both hands, causing one cheer after another.

The cheers and cheers of the sea suddenly came to him, dragging him into a sea of joy.

When he saw a knifeman blindfolded and throw a knife at a performer who was tied to a rotating disc, he could no longer suppress his emotions and exclaimed.

Tom!

Only three sounds of throwing knives inserting into the wood were heard, and Lux who was standing on the side reached out and grabbed the disc, causing the rotating disc to stop, and then turned the base to face the front of the disc to the audience.

At the same time, the unscathed performer also untied himself with a flutter of eyebrows and walked off the disc.

This wonderful performance caused a large number of cheers.

The soldier was already immersed in it, and he clapped vigorously and opened his mouth to laugh.

Just as the people were enjoying themselves, the vicious army of lords suddenly arrived and drove away the circus.

All of a sudden, people turned on their backs, and the square was in chaos.

The people crowding the streets withdrew their gaze and looked at each other, and then anger suddenly soared.

They have forgotten the wonderful circus performances, and they have forgotten the 'square', and at this moment they only remember one thing -

"Your taxes here are too high......"

"In the Duchy of Sorrowful Winds, in the Kingdom of Kolo, many people are able to eat enough, and no one will freeze to death even in winter......"

"They have a bumper harvest every year, and they can't even say it's a 'bumper harvest', because there is so much output every year, how can it be said to be a bumper harvest......

"It's all because they have a good ruler......"

"It's all because...... There's something wrong with your system!"
