Next, they lingered in front of several stalls, such as the ugly soothsayer mother-in-law and the down-and-out wandering painter. When Mu saw the painter holding a bunch of large and small brushes, Mu urged Agna to paint a portrait, while he himself ate the female knight's snacks and gave the painter all kinds of suggestions.www.biquge.info And Agna, who stood motionless as a model, had bruises on her forehead, and she almost couldn't help but draw her sword to cut this shameless guy several times.

At last they stopped again in front of a small camp, enclosed by a half-man's high fence wall, half of which was a sparsely populated stage and the other half of a crowded group of tents, except that, unlike the yurts of Kugit, they were all Salander-style spires.

"Salander?" asked Agna.

"No, it's a Sadessay. Mu replied.

Just as Rhodok has the less popular race of the Rhodoc natives, there are more or less some other countries. Swadia, for example, is not very kind of seeing foreigners, and Salander is especially not kind of seeing Sadesa.

In fact, the Sadesai people are no different from the Salanders in terms of pure blood, except that their tragedy is not because of blood, but because of faith. As mentioned earlier, the ancestors of the Salanders were exiles from the Rhodok and Kugit regions, and then, with their own wisdom and hands, they established their own civilization on the barren sand. In the beginning, the faith of Salander was very confused, with some believing in ancestors, some believing in Rhodoc, and a few believing in Merando and knights. It was not until the theologian Muratud, known as the "Prophet," recruited followers in the desert city of Barriya and established Allah that Salander's faith was gradually established.

In front of the bread painted by Muratud for the Salanders, first the lowest slaves knelt, then the commoners knelt, and finally the nobles saw that this sect seemed to be not bad, so they simply knelt with it, and in this way, Allah became the state religion of Salander.

Although, this sect inherited the gentleness of Merando, and the good and evil of the ancestors, it also inherited the extremism of Rhodok. Even Muratud himself said, "I hold a sword in one hand and a book in the other." This translates to "Believe me or die!" This is why the lords love this sect, they can reasonably declare war on anyone who does not believe in Allah, and plunder all their property, they can even frame themselves as heretics and then plunder their property in the same way. After all, heretics are more odious in the eyes of fanatics than unbelievers or infidels. Perhaps, Rodok and Salander always pit each other to death, not only for the reason of commercial competition, but also when two religions that are both somewhat radical put together, it is really hellish not to fight.

Of course, even if Allah is so powerful, Salander still has a group of stunned young people who dare to stand head-on. Needless to say, they were quickly taken out. Muratud killed the leading lord, and then drove the rest out of Salander, and did not allow them to settle or return to their hometowns, otherwise they would be killed. In this era when Salander caravans spread across the continent, these poor people had to wander around, making a living by selling their crafts and some dusty business. That's right, these people are the Sadessays.

Where Mu and Agna were, there was a circus of the Sadessayes. The circus had already begun, but the merchant still paid two dinars for the entrance fee to the maiden who welcomed him, and the girl laughed and rubbed on the merchant. Aigna couldn't stand it anymore and waved away from the "courteous" woman.

"Are the Sadeseys so lascivious?" said Agna, pouting dissatisfiedly.

"Life is forced. Mu shrugged indifferently.

They found a random seat in front of the stage and sat down, but there were few people in the audience anyway, and there were many empty seats. The traditional Salander magic trick is being performed, and as the turban magician plays the sand flute, the rope coiled together in the straw basket twists and rises like a snake, and then, a circus boy is barefoot, and climbs up the rope neatly, rising into the air with the rope, and while crawling with music, he makes some difficult dance moves, which attracts a burst of exclamations from the audience.

Even Agna was stunned, "Oh my God, how did they do it, it's incredible!"

Mu tilted his head, "Do you want me to solve the secret with you?"

The female knight was stunned for a moment and pouted, "You guy, you're quite good at spoiling the atmosphere." ”

The merchant smiled and shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.

With the end of the magician, the performances that followed also came. For example, glamorous dances, pantomimes, animal taming performances, acrobatics, etc., although not as amazing as magic, they are still excellent performances.

At the end of the performance, Aigna sighed, "Why is there so little audience for such a wonderful show?"

Mu smiled and said, "Because their intelligence work is not done well." ”

"What?"

"In the city of Lana, there is a stage play hosted by Nayan, which just conflicts with here... ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill in his lower back, and just as he turned around, he saw a figure wearing a white hooded cloak rushing out of the camp gate.

Aigna noticed that her boss's actions were different, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Mu shrugged, calmly reached for his waist, and then pulled out a short dagger.

The female knight was shocked and hurried over, intending to inspect Mu's wounds.

"Well, don't look at it. Mu picked up the dagger and shook it in front of Agna's eyes, "No blood." ”

"How... What's going on?" Aigna was shocked, her voice trembling a little.

"Nothing, I guess it was the assassin last time in Paraven. Mu put the dagger in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. It's just an ordinary dagger, no, it's a knife or more appropriate, it's very poorly made, and there is rust and some unknown slime, if you really want to stab it in the body, even if you don't die, you probably have to tetanus.

Aigna touched Mu's lower back, and there was indeed no blood flowing out. So, she asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, you... ”

Mu smiled mysteriously, "After a trip to Nord, I still gained a little." For example, striped leather armor is really a good thing. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the hem of the jacket, and inside it was a close-fitting leather armor.

"It's just a little hot. Mu took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, I don't know if it was hot or scared. Mu casually patted the leather armor, erased the dents that had been scratched on it, and then patted the shoulder armor of Agna, who was a little dumbfounded, "Let's go, it's okay." Then he walked slowly to the gate, and the girl who was sending off the guest immediately posted it again. Mu skillfully took out a dinar, flicked his fingers, and the coin drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and then accurately landed in the girl's proud twin peaks, causing the girl to scream again.

"What about your boss, I have some business I want to talk to him. Mu smiled slightly.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation to the merchant.

The owner of the circus was none other than the magician who had just performed, a thin old man, whose perennial humble and lowly life had given him a good temper, and he was smiling when he looked at everyone, and the wrinkles on his face were kindly wrinkled.

Taking advantage of the break between circus performances, the old man invited Mu into his tent and then made a pot of tea. This tea is not a good tea from the big tribes, just some dried leaves with a little flavor that they picked during their journey.

"Guests from afar, welcome. The old man smiled and said, "I heard, you have a business you want to discuss?"

"That's right," Mu nodded, "I guess you're not very happy with the current traffic, right?"

The old man sighed, "That's right, no one expected that this year's Winter Festival would actually have Nayan to hold a drama, alas, it was a mistake." ”

"So," Mu shook his head, "your failure is not this, it's that your means of attracting guests are too simple. ”

"Oh?" the old man narrowed his eyes, earnest.

"There's such a big open space next to the stage, why don't we make use of it?" Mu smiled intriguingly, "For example, sell some fruits, walnuts, pastries, etc." ”

The old man's eyes lit up, but he quickly sighed again, "It's a good idea, but we don't have that much to sell." ”

"I have," Mu smiled, "This is the business I want to discuss, you have a good land, and I have a good business, what do you think of this cooperation?"

"It's better than good business," the old man smiled, "and we're willing to accept this cooperation." ”

Mu nodded, and quickly discussed the rent of the venue and other cooperation projects with the old man, and then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Walk slowly, sir. The old man folded his hands and bowed slightly to the merchant's back.

Soon, Mu efficiently contacted Wardert and gathered all the merchants who had reached an agreement to the circus camp, including the strong man who sold barbecue, the mother-in-law who was a diviner, and the wandering painter. Next, the circus closed its doors, and the camp was immediately in full swing with renovation projects.

"Damn, this signboard is too stingy, our Roden-Ross is also a well-known trading house on the mainland!" Mu pointed to the wooden board in the man's hand and said dissatisfiedly, "Who can see your little wooden sign hanging out!"

"But, boss," said the fellow, aggrievedly, "this is the biggest plank we can find." ”

Mu Yi covered his forehead, and just as he wanted to scold this guy with an unenlightened head, the old magician of the circus smiled and patted the merchant on the shoulder. Mu turned around and saw a young man from the Sadesa wheeling with an axe, chopping off the guard of a caravan.

"Damn," Mu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and then gave the old man a thumbs up. The old man bowed his body kindly, and folded his hands.

"Come on, the planks are fine, you draw the signboard, this is no problem!"

The man gladly accepted the order. "Well, your robe... Mu looked at the soothsayer mother-in-law's white robe, and was speechless, "I remember that you are a soothsayer, not a priest." ”

"For such a big scene, of course, you have to wear the best robes!" said the diviner-in-law.

The merchant patted his head and pushed Agna in front of her mother-in-law, "Come, you come and dress her up." ”

"Huh?" said Agna, a little confused, "What's the dress?"

"Just like the evil witch in the knight's novel, how evil and weird it is," Mu commanded, "As the old Rui Erdian, you have always read the knight's novel." ”

"Oh, good. With a blank look on her face, Aigna led her nagging mother-in-law into a tent.

"You this... Mu twisted his whiskers and watched Warnat's men carry bags of various nuts into the circus, "It's definitely not easy to sell alone, or you're like this,"

Mu discussed with Warnat, "Prepare some small bags, fill a little of each nut into it, and then ask the guys to sell it among the audience during the break between performances, and it doesn't matter if the price is set high." ”

"It's a big businessman. Warnat was truly impressed.

"Lean your stove to the side," Mu said to the strong man who was roasting, "and you put it so close to the stage, I feel the heat." You can rest assured, your barbecue skills are absolutely NB, and as soon as the aroma comes out, it will definitely be in the market!"

"What, are you afraid that there is not enough meat? Don't worry, my caravan will give you enough supplies, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed!"

The strong man had no choice but to move his barbecue stand back with a melancholy face.

"As for you ... Mu looked at the painter again and said, "I'll ask someone to help you get your work stall done, you can do something for me now, yes, draw flyers, the simpler and brighter the better, the most important thing is your design, the guys who copy the painting will help you get it! Hurry up, hurry up, as soon as possible, we plan to get the first show before the sun sets, and how many people we can attract depends on you." ”

The painter nodded resignedly, and then went to work.

Then, he pointed to an open space and beckoned to the busy men, "Come, come here." Move the artist's stall there, yes, a little to the left. ”

Commanding to set up the stall, before the guys could take a break, Mu's annoying voice sounded again, "It's not over yet, you," he pointed to a guy, "You go to Lana City to have a look, especially the armor weapon store, just buy the cheapest, but the most gorgeous, yes, every style, go, hurry!"

"You," he nodded, "turn out all the armor in our convoy, get some Virgian and Nord style sets and send them over, oh yes, borrow Agna's helmet too." ”

"Why, you ask, as long as you put that giant helmet on top, no matter what you're wearing, everyone knows it's Swadia's, you know?"

"And you, go to the circus and ask if there are any spare costumes, and borrow them too. ”

"Hey, don't be lazy, you guys set up a small tent here, it's not too big, it's just a dressing room!"

"Over there, don't fucking rub around. ”

"What, what about the one-eyed dragon? Damn, went shopping? Hurry up and call back, there are not enough people to go to the street of wool!"

"Bandak, don't be idle, turn your crossbow to the lightest, set up an archery stall here, and all the income will be yours!"

"Ramon, where's Ramon, hasn't the meat come back yet?"

"Agna ... Oh, she's gone to deal with the soothsayer. ”

"Warnat, your fellow... ”

。。。。。。

Mu fell on the blanket in the tent, unwilling to move again for a long time.

The old magician slowly sipped the tea and asked with a kind smile, "How do you feel?"

"I'm tired," Mu winked, "but I should be able to see the results soon." ”

"Hehe, young people are getting better and better now," the old man continued to sip his tea, "Our era is about to pass!"

"Well, don't you go out and see, your camp has changed a lot. ”

"I like the more lively scenes. The old man said with a smile.
