Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fierce Lion
"Young man, do you want to see your fate?" the stars tell me that you have met the man you were destined to meet......" muttered an old woman with a hood, looking down and stroking the crystal ball on the table.
"Granny Lisa, it's me, Nana, don't you know me?" Fianna shouted excitedly, lowering her hood.
"Ahh
"After so many years, that little girl with a snot has grown into a big girl! Also, you dead child, you are too bold! You dare to run away from home with your younger brother at a young age! At that time, Elder Cowen was mad, and sent people everywhere to find you......" The old woman babbled about the past, as if she was still the child who had not grown up in front of her.
"I'm sorry, mother-in-law. At that time, I just wanted to survive on my own and didn't want to drag anyone down...... But I'm doing well now. You see, I'm an arcane apprentice!" the girl cheerfully displayed her apprentice robes.
"Ahh The old woman looked down and muttered.
"Mother-in-law, Sister Elsa told me that something big seems to have happened in the clan, what is going on? Fianna asked.
"Alas, everyone was panicked and didn't plan to participate in this winter festival. But the patriarch said that as long as the Circus of the Children of the Sun existed, it would not violate tradition and insist on participating in this celebration......" said the old woman.
"What the hell is going on, you should tell me quickly!" said Fianna urgently.
"Oh, when people get older, they talk more. It's like this......"
"Ah——! no, lion! The lion has escaped and bitten the man to death! Run away, everyone!" a shrill cry pierced the noisy and joyous night.
Then a large crowd escaped from the largest circus tent, and their weepers, screaming, and stirring up the wonderful night.
"Run, the circus lion is crazy!"
"It's terrible!
"Mommy, Mommy, I want Mommy ......"
"Get out of here, get out of here......"
As the commotion continued, more people ran out of the other tents and joined the fleeing band. Despite the best efforts of the Euan people of the circus to pacify them, it was to no avail, and the crowd rioted more and more.
"What's the matter? how could a circus lion attack an audience for no reason?"
"Mother-in-law, just stay here and don't move. I'll go back as soon as I go!"
"Alas, the sun god is above, what the hell is going on, isn't it enough for Heaven to punish us Youans?, how can so many innocent people be involved......" The old woman crouched on the ground and prayed in a low voice.
Fianna took Zod and ran against the chaotic crowd towards the largest tent of animal tamers. Along the way, there were constantly spectators running around in panic, knocking over countless utensils and even destroying several tents. A tent lit a bonfire and blaze.
Cries and shouts echoed throughout the clearing.
By the time Fianna arrived at the tent, there weren't many spectators left. A dozen strong men were nervously confronting a huge male lion.
"How dare you train such a ferocious beast!" exclaimed Fianna, who recognized the bull-tall male lion in front of her.
"No, Jim is just an ordinary prairie lion! I don't know why, it's suddenly like this......" argued a young man dressed as an apprentice tamer.
"Get out of here, young man, it's already dangerous. We can't guarantee that this raging beast will be subdued!" a middle-aged man with a valiant appearance strode forward, and he admonished Fianna solemnly.
He was none other than Fred Hanham, the patriarch of the Northland Euan and the head of the "Children of the Sun" circus.
"Nana, this is your chance, try your new talent......" Zode, who was lying on Fianna's shoulder, said suddenly.
"Huh, can it be used on such a beast? I'm not very skilled yet......
"Don't worry, it's just a first-order berserk animal, and you can handle it without that talent. Besides, it's really not good, don't you still have me? Zuo De instigated.
"Ahh......h The cat can talk, you're talking to the cat?, are you, no, a noble wizard?" asked Captain Fred in surprise.
"I ...... I haven't ...... yet" Facing the once high patriarch, Fianna was a little overwhelmed.
"Of course, my master is a very good wizard! get out of the way and let my master deal with this little kitten. Zode suddenly jumped forward and said loudly.
"Wow~!, the cat actually spoke!"
"This little girl is actually a wizard......?
"Look at her black hair, it seems that we are from Youan......"
"Harpy, don't come near her, she's a terrible wizard!"
Seeing this strange scene, the people of Youan suddenly became noisy, and even the fierce and ferocious lion could not take care of it.
"What are you all talking about! Why don't you get back to your place! If you let this lion escape, we'll be finished!" shouted the captain.
The crowd quieted down a bit. Captain Fred walked up to Fianna, gave a solemn salute, and said:
"I don't know that you are a noble wizard lady, and you have offended a lot just now, please don't be surprised. If Miss Wizard can help us deal with this ferocious lion, our Children of the Sun Circus will surely come up with a satisfactory reward. ”
"I, I'll give it a try......" Fianna said uncertainly.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Under Zode's reprimand, the crowd automatically split their ways, leaving Fianna directly confronted by the ferocious lion.
Looking closely at the huge lion, Fianna saw that there was something special about it. This lion does not have the wildness and madness of a ferocious animal. Surrounded by so many people, he did not show a look of anxiety and anger. Its eyes were hollow and lackluster, as if it were not a living thing.
However, when Fianna approached, the lion's eyes turned red and his eyes cracked, and he roared at Fianna in a low voice.
"Kitten, you look sick. Come, let Lord Zode take a good look. Facing the huge beast like a mountain of meat, Zode didn't care, he jumped in front of the ferocious lion and shouted.
The ferocious lion roared, pounced, and rushed towards Zuode.
"Charm!" Fianna immediately opened her palm and unleashed her new natural ability.
Suddenly, the ferocious lion shook violently, as if it had lost its soul. The eyes were hollow again. It lay on the ground, wagging its slender tail at Fianna.
"Look, I'll just say it's fine. "The charm talent is a powerful ability that only the upper demon race can have, and it is very rare. It is capable of exerting psychic cues on all living beings, and if the mind is not enough, it will be controlled. This is a powerful talent that Zode has concocted with great difficulty, and it seems that it is a perfect fit for Fianna.
Zuode jumped on the back of the big lion and sniffed it gently, and sure enough, a smell of the lower layer came to his nose.
Which part could it be? Demons, Zerg, or Devils? Zode pondered.
