Chapter 38: Hat-trick

"However, when it comes to black tea, it's really the right time to have a cup at this time." Vickily digressed, clasping her hands behind her head and leaning against the sack of sheepskin in the carriage, as if she had tasted the taste of black tea running down the tip of her tongue.

"Oh roar, there will be, Miss, there will be." The merchant laughed in a strange voice that sounded like a circus clown. Just when Vicky felt a little strange about this laughter, a familiar smell suddenly wafted in the air, and the strong fragrance gradually spread, and everyone's tense nerves finally felt a little relaxed.

"Mellow with natural freshness, it's tempting to pair it with two sugar cubes." Vicky couldn't help but imagine.

"Oh, thanks for the reminder." Glori said as she said in front of her, pulling two sugar cubes out of her gloves and dropping them into a container.

"No, it's really black tea!" The smell was not an illusion, Vicky could really smell the smell of black tea, she stood up in the carriage with a carp, only to see that Glori had somehow got a small ceramic cup, and the cup was filled with the brown liquid, and the fragrance of tea was scattered in the air with the wind.

"Oh my God, where did you get that?" Draenor also noticed the abnormality, and hurriedly helped the carriage to get up, and the carriage almost turned upside down.

"Shhhh Glori was almost shaken out of the car by Draenor's movements, and he quickly grabbed the armrest of the seat and explained to the others.

"Well, I know it's because of the sudden appearance of such a normal cup of black tea that it's surprising, right? Truth be told, the contemptible man turned out to be a popular magician in the circus, and he made money by being surprised like you just now! He continued.

"It seems that you are not a profiteer...... It's a liar. Vekily raised an eyebrow and looked at him with disdain.

"Liars? Oh naïve young lady, people like liars, and I've made a lot of money in this business. Glori said, pulling a delicate spoon out of her ear, placing it in the teacup and stirring it.

"Would you like a bite?" Glori turned around amicably and handed the cup to Viklico.

"I really wanted to try it just now, but forget it now...... But if magicians are really making money, why would you switch to it? Vicilico asked, pushing the cup away.

"Alas, to tell you the truth, our circus was destroyed by an old witch just a few years ago, she has a convoy called ...... 'Strange Truth Show' or something, and every day she pulls some strange demons on the street to cheat people, but I didn't expect it to be quite popular. In this way, the guests all ran to see the parade of the convoy, and our circus lost money almost every day, and finally it was simply disbanded. But now it seems that this should be an opportunity for me to change my life, and I know that I am a good person to do business. ”

Florie didn't notice the reaction of the people behind the car, and Viklily and Draenor looked at each other, and it seemed that the "old witch" he was talking about was Balespin who had killed them both before.

"I have to say, Nikanlos is a small place." Vickyric said with a sneer.

"Not small, Miss Viklico, we've all been walking for more than three hours and haven't gotten out of this mountain yet. The terrain here is steep, and there are beasts, monsters, and ......"

Glori was about to continue, when there was a sudden commotion in the woods, and several shadows flashed above their heads like giant birds, and when they turned around, five or six Scarface thugs were standing in front of the carriage with knives and guns, their fat muscles crowded into each other's way.

"And the robbers......" Glori saw that it was such a few big men, dropped the reins and ran to the back of the carriage where everyone was riding.

"It looks like you're a liar who underestimates you, you really have a live crow's mouth." Vicilico said, gesturing behind her back, and Draenor opened the safety of the box, ready to draw her sword.

"What do you want?" Draenor was no slouch in front of the brawny men, and he straightened up and shouted to the robbers.

"Want goods? No, ask for money? No, to someone? bingo! One of them, a strong man with scars from head to toe, stepped forward and sneered, the flesh on his body rising and falling through the coarse cloth with each step, looking like an angry Siberian black bear.

"It's the same gang from before...... I was able to catch up here. Jeanne immediately recognized the tattoos on the men, the same totems on the men who had kidnapped Viklico earlier.

"Oh, so cold? Wasn't it quite warm to our companions before? The strong man moved his mandible from side to side, his teeth grinding against him with an uncomfortable creaking.

"Huh, enthusiasm? Where did you see that? Vikli still remembers the pain of her ankle hanging upside down.

"It's not hard to see from their bodies." As he spoke, several strong men clenched their knives and guns and approached the carriage.

"Delaenau, Jeanne, don't act rashly, these people are not on the same level as the previous minions. Glori, you hide behind us first...... Glory? Vicky Ke suddenly noticed that there was a figure missing behind him, but he didn't expect that the profiteer would slip away unknowingly for such a while.

"Damn, I knew this guy couldn't be trusted!" Draenor drew his sword as he spoke, aiming it at Scarface's eyebrows.

"Idiot, haven't you run out of bullets?" Viklico whispered in a low voice.

"I know, but they don't know, it can be delayed for a while, you have a good brain, hurry up and find a way to come out." Draenor gritted his teeth and spoke to Viklico.

But Vickyli didn't know what to do, so she told Jeanne to avoid the field of vision and hide in the grass to attack them? Unrealistic, they are not blind, and any small action may be beaten into a sieve by them; Let Draenor go and confront them? He doesn't have any bullets in his gun, and that won't work! For a moment, Vikli suddenly felt that she had nothing to do.

"Ladies and gentlemen, standing before you now is none other than the messenger of the Creator, the Seraphic Angel Gabriel!"

Suddenly, a high voice shouted in front of the road, and the strong men hurriedly turned around, only to see a gentleman in a red suit and a black top hat standing straight in front of them, it was the profiteer from Glori!

"Damn, what the hell? Do you want to eat bullets? The strong man said as he pulled the hammer of the flintlock pistol, and the six spear eyes stared coldly at Glori's weak body, ready to burst into the spark of death.

"Gentlemen, fear the angel before you, who can turn the air into rain!"

As soon as the words fell, for some reason the rain suddenly fell from the sky, and it only landed where the robbers were standing. The strong men smelled a pungent smell, and hurriedly raised their heads to see the situation in the sky, but the rain dripped into their eyes like boiling water, and the strong men covered their eyes in pain.

"Get down!" Vikily saw the strong men waving the guns in their hands and shouted, and the three of them immediately lowered their heads and hid behind the carriage.

"Damn! Most of this bastard is tired and crooked! As he spoke, Scarface opened his bloodshot eyes and picked up the gun that had fallen to the ground.

"God has mercy on the darkness-shrouded creatures, and Gabriel hears his call, what does the Creator say?" Grori raised one arm in the air and pointed straight to the sky, and with the other hand lifted the long "swallowtail" behind her.

"And he said, Let there be light."

Florie raised her hand into the air and snapped her fingers crisply. Almost at the same time, the brawny man aimed at the top of Glori's head and pulled the trigger.

A miracle happened, and with a string of dazzling sparks from the hammer of the flintlock pistol, the strong man's body suddenly burst into flames, and he rolled on the ground screaming like a rat rushing into a fire pit, and the tongues of fire spread wildly around him, and in an instant the robbers became a sea of fire.

Draenor and the others hurriedly led their horses and fled to the side. He looked back and saw that the road surrounded by robbers had been engulfed in flames, and black smoke covered the forest.

"Grory, what the hell is going on!" Draenor shouted.

"Damn, it looks like we're completely underestimating him, this guy does have two brushes, but unfortunately in that case, it's hard to escape from the fire even if he doesn't get shot." Vicky can say.

She did see Glori's head shot through the bullet in the moment after the robbers fired, but had to find a way to find him anyway. Even if he died, he deserved a heavy funeral!

The autumn forest had just been drenched in heavy rain, and the fire lasted for more than ten minutes before slowly fading, leaving only the dark scorched earth, but no Grori's body was seen.

"This guy, is it possible that he is still out of danger?" Draenor felt like he had been tricked by magic again, and there was nothing left behind by Glori.

"Oh, friends, what a blessing we are all safe!" Glory's voice came from behind a large tree, and he somehow fell to the ground, crawling out little by little with his arms propped up.

"Hell, Glory!" Vikiriko rushed up and stared at his head for a long time, but found no trace of a single hole, only beads of sweat the size of rice grains.

"You're looking for this, aren't you?" Groli said as she shuddered and took out the top hat from behind her, only to see a pearl-sized bullet hole in the brim, it turned out that he had pasted a steel plate in the hat in advance, and the lead bullet was set in the center of the steel plate.

"Well done, Glori, I can't imagine that magic can save people's lives."

Vicky said.

"It's a nice hat-trick, isn't it? Belch...... Can you give me a hand, Miss? I was so nervous that my legs were already limp. Grori said.

Draenor picked him up and returned to the carriage, and Jeanne was still immersed in the miraculous magic she had just had.

"Mr. Grory, what the hell just happened?" Jeanne asked.

"I suddenly remembered that there were still two cans of kerosene in the carriage, and I just used them. I wanted to hide in the grass and splash it directly on them, but when I saw the muscles and monsters, their legs started to go numb, so I had to pretend that it was a magic show, and it seemed that it would indeed relieve the tension. ”

Vickily listened to Glori, and she looked up to see two rope-bound urns hanging from a branch directly above the scorched earth.

"I can't imagine that you profiteer not only have a clever head, but also have very sharp hands and feet, and you have set up a trap and made such bright clothes to wear," Vicky reached out and grabbed the corner of the tuxedo, and praised Glori in another way.

"A magician at the same time, my miss. If you don't have clever hands and feet in what I do, you won't be able to get food. Glori laughed at herself and sat back in the carriage.

"I propose, let's get out of this place first, what are we going to do when we get out of the forest?" Glori sat back in the chair, looking stunned, his hands holding the reins still shaking.

"Hmm...... Would you like to treat us to afternoon tea? Vikiriko said with the corners of her mouth raised.
