Chapter 6: The Circus (I)
The soft melody slowly dissipated, and the silence that everyone was deeply immersed in began to revive, at first just a few audience members who suddenly "woke up" clapping their palms, and sporadic sounds alarmed the people nearby, and the cheers came one after another, and soon became one.

The handsome bard Oriya's mood quickly climbed from the sweeping plains to the peak, and it was the first time he had learned the enthusiasm of the countrymen, and the repertoire of the repertoire was carefully chosen to have a slightly rustic flavor of "The Merry Coachman", but the effect was more enthusiastic than that of the taverns in the city, perhaps due to the release of a soothing spell.
Leaving the stool and thanking the audience who stood up solemnly, the bard was a little intoxicated by the approachable performance and more applause, but remembering his duty not to occupy the venue and make the next show unable to perform normally, he bowed deeply to the left and right, and slowly walked backwards behind the curtain.
The townspeople threw the flowers in their hands, and the pretty girl was the most enthusiastic, so that the magician, who had just appeared on the scene, was caught off guard by this accident.
Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in acting, and he knew that the bard's performance just now was very exciting, and if he wanted to overpower him and consolidate his position, he had to show a shocking magic trick, so he slowly unfastened his gloves.
The wandering mage hiding in the crowd, his sharp eyes saw that the back of the magician's hand was slightly unusually burnt, and his fingers were dirty as if they had not been washed, and he couldn't help frowning.
The magician took off his somewhat exaggerated tall hat and showed the front and back of the hat to the audience according to the usual number of ways, and the young townsman, who had heard of and even seen this magic trick, gently poked his companion with his elbow to remind them that the wonderful show had begun.
What happened next was more exciting than the young man who had seen the world expected, the magician put the high hat on the stage, held the "magic wand" in his left hand and lightly touched the brim, and then his right hand reached into the hat barrel, and looked around, as expected, attracting the attention of the audience in the first few rows.
The anticipation of the construction of the heart was fully prepared, and the smiling magician took out a white-shelled egg from the barrel of his hat, and slipped from his fingertips as he pretended to get up, and the nearest front-row spectator couldn't help but exclaim for his mistake.
Who knew that after the eggshell fell to the ground, it cracked into several petals with a pop, and there was no egg white and egg yolk splashing around, but a fluffy chick, dizzy and dizzy, walked a few steps and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the audience, who was about to watch the joke just now, immediately let out a cheer of satisfaction, Lu Bin's right eyebrow was raised slightly, and he quickly saw through the magician's tricks, but he still applauded gently with the people around him.
A very good start! With just one egg, a chick attracts the attention of the audience, who seem to have forgotten the wonderful performance of the bard, and the burlesque of the juggling clown.
Oria was a little jealous as he stayed behind the scenes to get his bags, but his eyes were quickly drawn to his harp, the discordant black strings trembling slightly, making sounds that only he could hear.
The little guy on the stage is just a magician who can do a few tricks, he shouldn't alarm the black strings, is it a nearby audience?"
With his left hand raised in his cloak and hidden in the arms of the unseen others, the bard stripped his trademark outfit and hid it in his satchel, leaving the busy backstage and taking advantage of the darkness to go around the back of the audience.
Halfway through, Oriya targeted Lu Bin, who was obviously not a resident of Resting Town, and saw his spell book fixed to his back through the gap in the human wall, and the bard breathed a sigh of relief, and then refreshed his vigilance.
Apparently a spellcaster who had just arrived in the town square, where was he just now, and why did he stay with the commoners?
It is said that the lord of the town of Rest, Baron Freud, has been worshipping a mage for a long time in his family, could it be this person?
The fingers hidden in the cloak gently plucked the black strings and issued a pointed solo of the night, and almost instantly, the other party reacted, and the look back quickly locked on the bard.
The eyes of the two collided together, and they invariably greeted each other's foreheads, and Oriya was a little happy in his heart, and he deduced from his past experience that this suspected fellow spellcaster should be easy to get along with.
The wandering mage originally had some expectations for the magician's performance, but when he heard the sharp and piercing laughter, the people around him did not react, and immediately understood that he had fallen into the field of vision of someone with a heart, and was being watched and tested at this moment.
Lu Bin instinctively turned back and saw the bard who had just performed on stage, standing in the open space of the square not far away, although he was a little uneasy in his heart, he covered it up well and saluted him with his forehead.
Fortunately, the other party did not seem to have malicious intentions, and not only returned the salute at the same time, but also lifted the cloak, revealing the left hand holding the harp, and the empty right hand, as a sign of sincerity.
The wandering mage quietly squeezed out of the crowd, and the empty space he left was quickly filled by the enthusiastic spectator, after all, the scene of the magician taking out a frying pan from his tall hat, beating two eggs, and spewing flames from the palm of his right hand to fry poached eggs was incredible.
The bard led the way sideways, paying attention to nearby movements as he walked, and carefully led Lu Bin into the alley near the town center square.
The wandering mage who decided to strike preemptively, opened his mouth to utter a series of "native dialects", of course, Oria did not understand a word, although he did not expect such a thing to happen, but the bard, who was quick to adapt, gently plucked the strings, with the help of the amplification of the instrument, cast a ring of spells, and knew the language.
"How does it feel? ”
"Thank you very much, you really helped me a lot!"
Lu Bin learned a language in an instant, and couldn't help but sigh at the convenience of spells, and what made him even happier was that the "Book of Traveling Mages", disguised as a spell book, was forming new spell cards, but it was not condensed into runes, and it was inevitable that there were some regrets.
Oriya, a bard who completed his studies and graduated from school, registered with the mercenary guild in nearby Villanier, was recently hired by Baron Freud to tour his villages and towns to celebrate the upcoming harvest and the opening of the sickle. ”
"Introduce yourself! Rez, a mage wandering in the wilderness in search of lost knowledge in the ruins of a ruined civilization, constantly traveling and fighting to hone his skills. Not long ago, after a wonderful trip that is indescribable in words, I unfortunately lost most of my spells and is now trying to find a way to get them back. ”
From a few words, the bard could tell that the other man's words were eighty percent true, and Oriya, who was familiar with the instrument and the rhythm, had the potential to discern it, even without releasing the detection of lies.
After all, the other party is also a spellcaster, and doing so in person is not only extremely rude, but also offends his dignity. It's much easier to do it if it's an ordinary person, but it's a pity that Lord Rez, who claims to be wandering in the wilderness, is a rare mage.
Strange outsiders, of course, have to be careful, especially the identity of the other party is too eye-catching, Oriya deliberately provided a clue after a brief greeting, so as to test the details of the wandering mage.
"Your Excellency Reiz, Baron Freud, to whom this town belongs, lives in his castle with an old qualified mage, who not only serves as an advisor to the Baron family's spells, identifies and identifies rare alchemy creations, but also secretly solves a lot of troubles. His collection must be very rich and should be able to fill in the missing parts of your spellbook. ”
