Chapter 286: Old Mari, whose whereabouts are strange
"It's me, Commander! Someone wants to see you!" replied, the goblin who led the way for Wang Xu and the three of them, next to the stainless steel door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh, I see," the head of the troupe, who had been old and low, suddenly became high-pitched after hearing that someone wanted to see him, and obviously, the head of the troupe also thought that the person who wanted to see him had come to invite his circus to perform somewhere, "and he came......
With the cacophony of grinding of metal bearings after falling into disrepair, "chirp, clang, clang......", the stainless steel door opened halfway outward, and an old goblin with extremely old green skin and black hair and silver hair walked out of the half-open door.
It wore a leather coat that resembled its own dark green skin, and judging by the fabric, it seemed to be made of swamp lizard skin, and it had a small black fur hat on its head that was known to be bear skin, and a pair of small boots with scales on its feet.
It can be seen from the clothes that the old head of the goblin clan of the circus is a lover of leather clothing, and every costume on its body is leather, and even a palm-sized crocodile skin space bag hangs on its leopard skin belt.
The old goblin leader held a dead wood as a crutch in his right hand, pointed to the corridor with his left hand, and said to the goblin who knocked at the door: "You go on with your work, it's none of your business here, do it well." ”
After receiving the encouragement from the regimental leader, the goblin who knocked on the door left with an excited expression.
Because the height of the old goblin leader is only up to Wang Xu's waist and eyes, when it looks up at Wang Xu's eyes, its neck is almost tilted to ninety degrees, Wang Xu is afraid to look at it, worried that this old head will break his own neck, which is funny.
"Come in and talk!" After the old goblin leader said a word to Wang Xu, he turned around and walked into the stainless steel plate door with his cane, and Wang Xu and the three of them also followed.
After entering the door, Wang Xu casually glanced at the decoration in the room, and after an instant, he nodded with a wry smile, he found that the decoration style of this regiment leader's room was completely in line with the extravagance and wealth of the goblin clan.
I saw that every inch of the floor in the room was paved with golden floor tiles, and the surrounding walls and ceilings were directly covered with gold bowls as wallpaper.
While sighing in his heart, Wang Xu nodded lightly unconsciously, he finally understood why the door of the regiment commander's room should be equipped with a stainless steel door instead of a wooden door, because, just the gold of this room, if you don't install a stronger door, who can go out with confidence.
There is almost no furniture in the head of the group, only two sofas opposite each other, these two sofas fully indicate the identity and status of the old head of the group's leather coat lover, because the outer skin of the two sofas is made of leopard skin of the leopard, furry, and each sofa is also covered with a tiger skin blanket, which is also fluffy.
As soon as he saw the two sofas and the blankets on the sofa, Wang Xu's cleanliness habit was committed again, and he trembled unnaturally all over his body, and said in his heart: Kill me, and I won't sit on those two hairy mite nests.
"Sit!" The old goblin leader, who sat on a sofa, pointed to another sofa opposite it, looked at Wang Xu and the three of them, and invited them to sit and chat.
"No need," Wang Xu, who didn't want to touch the two sofas at all, pretended to be polite, refused the old leader's kindness, and as he spoke, he took out a bulging burlap bag with a big head from his arms, and handed it to the old head with both hands, "We came to ask you something, that's all, I won't sit down." ”
"Oh, that's right. Taking the burlap bag handed to him by Wang Xu with both hands, feeling the full ...... of a thousand gold coins in it, the old head instantly glanced at Wang Xu beside him, it understood, don't look at the half-elf who is looking for him, he doesn't seem to be very old, but he knows the rules very well, he knows the world very well, and he knows how to deal with goblins, and he is a very experienced person.
Putting away the sack full of gold coins, the old goblin leader stood up with a cane, walked to Wang Xu, looked up at Wang Xu again, and asked politely: "You ask, I know everything." ”
"I would like to ask what is the name of the old bard who sings to the accompaniment of the Gayageum," Wang Xu looked down at the silver-haired head of the old goblin leader, and whispered to him, "If you can, can you arrange for me to meet him, I will be grateful tenfold!"
"This ......," replied the old goblin leader with an apologetic expression, "I can tell you his name, but you can't see him, because he's gone, his name is Marie, and he's an old bard from here, and every once in a while, he'll come to us to perform at no cost, and even, give us back money." ”
"Mari ......," Wang Xu whispered the name of the old bard, his brows furrowed tightly, his mouth pursed slightly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and finally, after taking a deep breath, a voice squeezed out between his teeth: "What a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere." ”
"Well, I feel familiar with it, but I really haven't heard the name!" Zana muttered quietly.
"I ...... you too," Nilou snapped up.
"Do you know where old Mari lives?" Wang Xu looked down at the old goblin leader and asked him in a low voice, "Or do you know when he will come again?"
"I don't know, I really don't know, sometimes he comes when we start performing, and sometimes he doesn't show up for a month and a half a year, but, I guess, he should live around here, because we have a circus here every year for dozens of performances, and he always shows up three or four times. The old goblin leader replied to Wang Xu.
Although he was disappointed by the old goblin leader's answer, Wang Xu still nodded politely at it, showing a grateful expression.
"Alright then, we're bothering you, we're going to go first, we're going to camp here tonight, if you find out where Old Mari is, please tell us, thank you!" After nodding slightly to the old goblin leader, Wang Xu turned around and prepared to leave.
"I'll send you off. The old goblin leader said politely.
"No need, your legs and feet are inconvenient, we know the way, just walk by ourselves!" Wang Xu also said politely.
"Alright then, when I see old Mari, I will tell you!" The old goblin leader got off the donkey, and after responding to Wang Xu's words, he leaned directly on the edge of the stainless steel door, watching Wang Xu's back as they left.
When the figures of Wang Xu and the three disappeared into the corner behind the aisle, the sound of "chirping, twing, ......" of metal bearings sounded again, and the old goblin head closed his stainless steel door.
After closing the door, the old goblin leader threw the dead wood cane to the side, walked back to the edge of the sofa with light steps, and after sitting down, looked at the sofa opposite, on which sat the old bard who Wang Xu was looking for...... (To be continued.) )
