Chapter 58: The Joker
Just ten minutes after the Grand Magician left, a guy in a clown costume pushed open the door to the bakery. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Teacher. Lois's eyes lit up when he saw the man.
"Tsk, luckily, there was a pigeon pie today. The clown swaggered into the store, sat down across from the girl, and snapped his fingers at the old man who was selling bread, "Claire, add another pigeon pie." ”
His voice is very peculiar, both the vicissitudes of the old and the youthfulness of the young, you probably never imagine that you will hear these two completely different voices in a person's body, it is a very strange feeling. In fact, more than just the voice, the guy looked extremely suspicious from head to toe, he was dressed in a circus clown costume, covering his whole body, with a funny big red nose, and his face painted in exaggerated pastels, so that people couldn't tell his age and appearance at all, and even whether he was male or female.
Luckily, there were no other customers in the bakery right now, otherwise they would probably have been scared away by his appearance.
However, the old man named Claire seemed to have seen it for a long time, and with a smile on his face, he cut a piece of pigeon pie for him, and made him a pot of flower tea.
The clown was dissatisfied, "Hey, I said I don't drink flower tea, pigeon pie and flower tea don't match it at all, so let's have a bowl of pumpkin porridge." ”
The old man was unmoved, and walked over with the boiled flower tea and pigeon pie, "Your throat is not good in winter, I asked the doctor in the medical hall, this pot of flower tea has herbs for coughing." ”
"Hehehehe, you also believe the words of a bunch of quacks. The Joker said disdainfully, "Claire, I think you're going to be an old fool." That being said, the clown still got himself a drink, after all, it's better to drink something than not to drink at all.
The old man smiled slightly, took out a closing sign and hung it in front of the shop, and then returned to its original position, and then prepared the eggs and flour for tomorrow, her small shop was very remote, and it seemed that there were not many customers at all, and she did not know why she baked so much bread every day.
The clown shook his head, and did not forget to educate Lois on the side, "You don't want to be like her in the future, women have to make good use of their capital, find a good man at the most beautiful age, and give birth to a bunch of babies for his mother, this is the standard happy life." ”
Lois stuck out his tongue, "Teacher, you talk a lot today, what is the standard for happiness, you are really happy when you are happy, I think Grandma Claire is very happy, there is someone she likes in her heart, even if she is alone, there is nothing bad about it, and it is very troublesome to get married or something." ”
"Eh, it's the other way around!" the clown slammed the table, "Lois, when did your mind become so dangerous, say, was it taken by Claire?" ”
It's a pity that probably because there is no majesty in the ordinary, the clown's blowing and glaring didn't have any effect, and Lois is still the same as you can do with me.
"Okay, okay, every time we meet, the topic has to be skewed by you, the teacher, it's time to talk about business. In the end, it was the girl who forcibly pulled the topic back, otherwise with her knowledge of clowns, the other party would probably be able to babble on such an inconsequential little thing for a whole night, Lois knocked the wall of the cup twice with a spoon, and replaced it with a serious expression, "The rabbits have entered the field, there should be a lot of them this time, there are five known, I don't know if there are any in the dark, if there are any, they should be well hidden, but since they are rabbits, they always have to come out to graze, and then we will know how many there are." ”
The clown picked up a knife and fork and cut a pigeon pie into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Aren't those guys dead yet, it's really endless, well, but this is also the few fun I have left, it's rare that this time the people are more uniform, how about playing with a big ticket?"
"Really, teacher, you are like this every time, just caring about having fun for yourself, and you don't care about how hard it is for us who are responsible for running errands to set up the stage for you. Lois grumbled.
The clown was excited like a child who had just gotten a toy, "Come on, tell me who the guys are this time?"
Lois stretched out a hand, "At present, it is known that there are our old friends, the Andre family who can't be beaten, the Mensa family who just joined recently, the Griffin family who has not given up, and the Wizards Association also sent someone this time, it is a twin, it should be a master, in addition, there is a guy named Rob, I haven't found out what his origin is, but the girl next to him should be the current head of the Bretton family, the daughter of the Crimson Sword." ”
Entering the working state, the female archer's expression became very serious, "In addition, I also want to remind you that those haunting guys in the Inquisition are well hidden this time, and I haven't found them until now, but I have a hunch that their people should have also mixed into the school, plus the five waves of people before, it is more accurate to say that there should be at least six rabbits in the paddock now." ”
The clown held his chin thoughtfully, "Breton girls?"
"Well, is there anything special about her?" Lois was a little puzzled, whether it was the Andre family, Mensah, or the Griffin family, there had been many powerful magicians, on the other hand, the Bretton family, although it was also a wealthy family in the north, but this family has always been famous for cultivating swordsmen, and I haven't heard of any magicians, in Lois's opinion, Loyce and Rob seem to be the least threatening of so many people she said before.
The Joker asked, "Do you know how Crimson Sword died?"
Lois thought for a moment, "I heard that it has something to do with the Inquisition, and by the way, the Inquisition seems to be secretly hunting her down, well, in that case, we can try to use her to lure out the rats hiding in the gutter." ”
"Huh. The Joker didn't answer the question, there was something in his smile that Lois couldn't understand, but he didn't object to the girl's proposal, and nodded, "Just do what you want, tell the Foreman guy that he doesn't interfere with what has happened at school recently, and since the rabbit has already entered, it's time for our party." ”
The clown took a deep breath and a mischievous smile appeared on his face, "It's been a long time since the Saint Laurent Brothers' Academy of Magic has been so lively, and as the host, it would be a little rude not to arrange a show to welcome a few guests." Lois, get ready, the show is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
