Chapter 3: The Clown (1)

"The city is called the Night Sea, and half of the people in the Night Sea are extremely prosperous and rich, while the other half of the people are extremely poor, living on begging every day, but the prosperous side of the city can cover the other side of poverty to the death, creating an illusion that everyone is happy. Like the light of the fire, which never goes out, it can illuminate the night brighter than the day. Truth paused and continued, "These are all said by the bishop,"

Luo gasped for air, thinking about how the kid had memorized some boring things, and asked casually, "Then did you ask your bishop if he was rich or poor?" ”

"Of course he asked, but he said he wasn't either." Truth answered.

"Isn't this just a lie that you're a child?" Law continued to gasp. He gradually confirmed one thing, a very bad thing, that as soon as he came into contact with the truth, he would become like an ordinary human being, nay, perhaps not as good as an ordinary human being, at most a sick number, for he would easily get tired with the slightest movement.

He advises Truth to let himself go, and sincerely says that he will definitely follow, but Truth firmly disagrees: "What if you fly away as soon as I let go, I can't fly, I can't catch up with you." ”

Even though Luo swore that he would not do such a lack of virtue to deceive the little girl, the truth was always indifferent.

"Where are we going? You've been running since you started, are you in such a hurry? Luo couldn't help but ask.

"I wasn't in a hurry, but I just let you fly a few laps with it, and now I'm in a bit of a hurry, the circus show is about to start, I sneaked out just to see this, but I didn't expect an unexpected gain." She glanced at Law.

"The circus? What's the point of that, back and forth is to walk the tightrope, drill the fire ring, drill the fire ring, walk the tightrope, please don't run, I don't feel good. Luo had a feeling that he was going to vomit, but he couldn't vomit anything.

"Alright, Old Man Luo, we've arrived." As soon as the words fell, the truth in the gallop suddenly stepped on the ground with both feet at the same time, and the toes slid on the ground half a meter away, and a flexible tail flick turned into another street, quite a bit of a master's demeanor, but Luo looked a little embarrassed.

Then the scene that appeared before him made them both stunned at the same time, for it was not a small circus that appeared in front of him one after another, it was a huge circular square, the square was covered with marble tiles engraved with this pale blue intricate stripe, and there were four wide avenues leading to this square, which seemed to be a place like a transportation hub in normal life, but now it was completely encompassed, and together with the central fountain of the square, it was all shrouded in a quaint dark yellow tent, which was the place where the circus was performed.

"My merciful God, how can it be so great?" Truth eventually speaks to words.

When Luo was tossed away, he noticed that several soldiers in steel armor and leather gloves were guarding every street entrance, wearing silver blades at their waists, standing motionless at their waists, and holding a spear in their hands.

The truth says that they should all be knights. But what are the knights doing here, standing guard on the streets is not their proper mission, no matter where they are, the knights should be the most powerful force, they should be in a certain training ground, receive the most rigorous death training, ready to defend the city or step through the enemy's gates.

Are they in charge of keeping this place safe? Or rather, to keep someone safe?

Luo really couldn't think of why a circus performance could cause such a big battle, and he felt that the desire for truth might not be reliable, "It doesn't matter if you just go in like this, don't you need a ticket or a certificate or something?" It's better for me to go in and watch, you listen to the sound outside, and then come out to tell you what is performed inside, and then you combine the sound to imagine the picture with your brain, and the effect is theoretically no different from your own appearance. Luo proposed.

Truth rolled his eyes, "Anyone can enter, uncle." Ignoring Luo, who continued to come up with some boring ideas, she pulled Luo closer, opened a curtain casually, and plunged into it like a cat, ignoring the knights on both sides.

Unable to see the whole picture of the tent outside, after entering Luo found that the interior space of the tent was much larger than he thought, obviously the truth was also the first time to see this kind of scene, she looked around with a curious gaze This may be a super huge venue that may easily accommodate 10,000 people. Even though the tent is surrounded by sheepskin lamps, such a large space is inevitably a little dark, so the square platform inside is particularly conspicuous, in addition to a large number of sheepskin lamps surrounding the high platform, it is also sprinkled with various glittering crystals, as well as some insignificant cards, hats, pencils...... It's just casually placed.

The venue is strange, and the spectators here are even more strange, "Luo, did you find it", Truth pointed to the stands, "Look, the bishop didn't lie to the kids." ”

Luo followed her fingers and looked over, indeed, the stand was almost full of people, and there were all kinds of people, some were gorgeously dressed, some were ragged, some were pot-bellied, some were shriveled and thin, Luo Fei came closer, and saw their expressions, or lazy, or joyful, or sad, or sluggish.

There is a problem, there is definitely a problem, the whole city does not seem to be quite right, there is a sense of incongruity, or rather weirdness, everywhere, whether it is the parchment lamps hanging all over the city, or the bishop, the grand circus in front of him, the knight at the door, the half rich and half poor inhabitants.

I don't know why, but he suddenly thought of Charlie, the soul who finally chose to stay, he should still be waiting for the flower to bloom by the lake, I hope he can grab it. Scenes flashed through his consciousness, stinging a little, until a shadow pulled him back to reality.

"Truth?" Luo muttered to himself.

The loud noise pulled everyone's eyes down on the high platform, and a thick smoke rose up, and when the fog gradually faded, there was already one more person on the high platform. It was a clown with a big red nose, his face was all white, stars and tear moles were painted on the corners of his eyes, his hat was flamboyantly raised outwards with four sharp corners, his mouth and clown suit were still bright red, and the clown suit was painted with strange patterns, like small animals, he bent down to look for it, picked up a deck of cards, and did not see his hands moving, but the cards danced between his hands like countless elegant butterflies.

He bowed in all directions, and the circus show began.
