Chapter 4: The Clown (2)

Law now had to retract his earlier rash statement, the circus show could have been more than just a well-rope walk, a fire ring, and a cliché of teasing small animals, at least this circus show was anything but like that.

Just look at the truth, her gaze seems to be drawn by a magnet, and she can't take her eyes off the clown at all. Just half a minute ago, he threw three potatoes into the air for unknown significance, but until now, those three potatoes have not landed. Then the clown kept flying out of his hand one after another, perhaps because the speed was too fast, Luo could barely see his hands moving, each card was as sharp as a knife, accurately peeling off a piece of potato skin, and then slippery bend back into the clown's hand, it was hard to imagine how there could be such a pair of dexterous hands in this world, and at the same time, this dexterous hand could also burst out with great power, which could make the cards easily cut potatoes.

About two minutes later, the potatoes not only peeled the ground without any skin left, but even the whole shape, from three uneven ugly guys to round balls, the whole audience was cheering, cheering, the clown's mouth grinned a huge smile, he bowed deeply, and then threw all the cards in his hand, both hands poked out together, he didn't even lift up, he held the two cards steadily, his arms flung back, with two gorgeous arcs staggered flash, the three potatoes were cut into six petals and fell, The Joker gets up and takes back the two cards and shows them around, and those are two Joker cards!

"Wow, ah, Luo, look at it, isn't it very powerful" Truth shouted, dancing and gesturing, as if she was also a big master of flying cards, and she could kill countless enemies and subordinates in an instant. He was too excited to attach, but nothing in the cheers and cheers of the audience.

Luo didn't think so, he thought to himself: This kind of performance can be used as a finale no matter where it is, the first one will be taken out, and what will be performed later.

However, the show was worthy of its sheer scale, with confetti flying, and the magician snapping his fingers to make the audience gas; The silk threads are intertwined, and several puppets of the puppeteer are full of expressions; The dancers and the band pushed the atmosphere to the highest, and the tamers inevitably appeared, but the animal he domesticated was not the beast that ordinary animal trainers loved, but a beast that Luo had never heard of, let alone seen, he had a lion-like head, at least three times the size of a lion, its fangs and claws were extremely sharp, the corners of its mouth were always drooling, and the dense brown hair could not cover the ferocity of the whole body, Luo guessed that once he got angry, it could easily tear a big tree, and someone could actually tame this kind of monster.

Luo looked at the unpredictable performers on stage, and felt a little uneasy, feeling shrouded in a mysterious color, which made people unable to see through.

When the show was over, they parted one after another, except for the clown, who threw his head back behind him and laughed wildly, so madly and presumptuously that the funny four-cornered clown hat trembled violently with his body. "Dear friends, welcome from the bottom of my heart," he said, his voice rough and low, pausing for a moment, he slowly straightened up, tweaked the clown's colourful neckline, raised his voice a few more points, and continued to everyone as if he were about to announce a great secret, "Join us in our ceremony." The performer's platform is in the center, and at the same time below everyone, but he still has a sense of condescension.

Truth looked at him curiously, Luo also looked at this person coldly, and during the entire circus performance, none of the performers said a word, as if it was deliberate, and they thought that it would be kept until the end, but the clown was finally the first to speak.

He seemed to be extremely excited, and pulled a wooden chair, then another, and a third, built up at random, and climbed up, and at last he stood taller than everyone else. "In order to express our gratitude to all of you, we have specially prepared a small game for you, please feel free to participate."

With a crisp snap of the fingers, the first sheepskin lamp went out, and then all the lights went out one after another, and the order of extinguishing was in a circle, approaching the center. The whole tent was darkened, until finally the clown's figure disappeared into complete darkness little by little, and countless iron rods fell from the sky to pierce the tent all over the tent, piercing deep into the earth, forming an unbreakable cage.

Somehow, as if the explosives were planted and would detonate at any time, there was a riot in the stands, and they clung to the iron rods, "What are you doing, bastards, what are you doing?" A terrible scream came from the side, "Guard, guard." The knights also reflected, and then the sound of the blades coming out of their sheaths was slashed again and again. No one is allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to come near me. Someone else was stimulated by the sound, and roared like a demon.

Law immediately returned to the truth and took her hand. The soul could be seen even in the deepest darkness, and he found that the little girl was extremely calm in the face of the sudden darkness. "What's wrong with them?" Truth asks. What's going on, what's going on, it's just that the lights are out, and the truth rubs his head, and he can't figure out what happened.

"Don't ask me, I haven't been here for long." Law replied.

In the darkness came the clown's maniacal laughter again: "Are you scared? Fear? Oh, how wretched you are, that your gods will come to your rescue? Hahahaha, hahahaha, I'm sorry, I don't know why, but seeing you like this makes me feel supreme joy. Good night, dear all, and may you always remember my game. ”

The scene was extremely chaotic, there was a scuffle in the arena, no one trusted anyone, they kept tearing, cursing, and the truth unconsciously hugged Luo tightly, "Don't worry, I can see it." Law comforted her.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the knights ripped open the tent and cut a gap with their iron swords. When the light shone into it, the chaotic crowd finally settled down.

"They must be killed, and the lowly slaves dare to do this to me." "Yes, besides, he has no respect for the gods, and wants to tie them to the cross and burn them." The magnates easily began their own sentences.

At this moment, a girl stood out from the crowd, only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a gorgeous light red princess dress, the cascading skirt was like a hundred flowers in full bloom. The girl had an extremely delicate face, like a carved porcelain doll, and every piece of jewelry was an extremely valuable treasure, but her long blond hair was a little disheveled, apparently also affected by the commotion just now.

"Isn't it time for you to deal with what's in front of you?" She raised her slender finger and pointed to the other side.
