Chapter 13: The Wandering Wind Circus (Sherah Walker)
After Willy was gone, Bird slowly began to sort out the rest of the food.
The two requests he made were carefully considered by him, although the goddess of the forest was somewhat declining, but the temple was not worth defiling like this, and Bird believed that Willy must have known about the obscenities of the old priest, but he just turned a blind eye and let it go. Bird didn't believe Willy's statement that he had plans to renovate the temple, so Bird brought up the matter today.
Bird still knew about permanent residency while chatting with the owner of the Abel Comptoir, and brought it up when Willie came to the door. Bird just wants to keep the two-story building, and he doesn't want to give it to others when he leaves, because the scenery of the small building is indeed very good, and Bird likes it very much.
So these two requirements, as Bird said, are actually quite simple. After Bird had settled all the food on his plate, the old man still hadn't come out, and Bird didn't want to wake him up again, so he just put the money on the table and left alone.
Horse-drawn carriages and crowds of people kept walking from outside Anxi Town to the inside, most of them were residents of nearby villages and towns who came to play and celebrate the festival. As soon as Bird went out, he was taken directly to the square of Anxi Town by the crowded crowd, and Bird didn't need to make much effort in the whole process, he was completely carried by the crowd, and Bird remembered the grand occasion of traveling on holidays in the past.
However, when approaching the square, the whole road was open, so the crowd dispersed, and Bird was able to stand and take a look at the Anxi Town Square on the day of the carnival.
Unlike a few days ago, most of the people in the square were mainly engaged in animal fur trade, today these people have long been gone, there are more snacks, toys, dancing girls, etc., and even the temple of the goddess of the forest is full of people who come today, there are couples, there are pregnant women, although the goddess of the forest does not care about these, the priest also took the opportunity to sell some items related to the goddess of the forest in the temple, such as teachings and so on.
Of course, Bird also saw that the priests of other sects took advantage of the fact that there were many people here to preach the teachings of their own sects, and advocated that everyone build other temples in Anxi Town. However, it seems that only two or three scattered people occasionally come up to inquire from time to time, and they do not attract too much attention.
"The Wandering Wind Circus is coming" "Here!" "Where is it?" With a shout, the originally scattered crowd began to gather in one direction in large numbers, and Bird also stood on tiptoe with rare curiosity and tried to look at the place where the crowd gathered, it was all crowded, and Bird was almost squeezed down again.
For a long time in the Black Bear Tavern, Bird had been listening to mercenaries and wanderers talk about the Wandering Wind Circus. As the name suggests, it is a wandering circus, but it is famous throughout the Arzer Empire for its virtuosity, and everyone who has seen it perform will be amazed.
However, no one has ever seen all the performances of the entire circus, and most people may only see two or three performances in their lifetime, one of which is expensive to watch, and the other is that the circus is erratic and unpredictable, and it is difficult to predict the location of the next performance.
Some people have encountered the performance of the Wandering Wind Circus in the forest, and some people have seen it in the poor countryside or in the bustling big city.
Many people at first heard that the Wandering Wind Circus was coming, and kept rushing forward, but soon it gradually dispersed as many cursed and lamented the price of the circus show.
After a while, Bird stepped forward, three cloaks of different colors propped up in a corner of the square, the entire circus covers a small area and is very remote, but the first thing that catches the eye is a few orc men standing outside each cloak, indeed orcs, a race rarely seen in the eastern human countries.
There are those with hideous complexions and ectroped teeth, as well as those with short hairy beards and long spotted stripes, but the unifying characteristic of these orcs is that they are half a head taller than ordinary humans, and they are fully dressed in fine iron armor to deter everyone who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.
"Humanity, at the moment only absurd poets still have a place, I propose yƬ you don't miss this performance. The orc with the cat's face in front of him looked down at Bird, a very pure lingua franca of the Eastern Continent, without any dialect mixed intonation, unlike the residents of Anxi Town, who speak with a strict nasal voice.
Bird glanced at the wooden sign placed next to the orc, which read the Absurd Poet, the Hellwalker, and the Whip Man, both of which were crossed out. The only thing left was the poet of the absurd, with the price written on it: five gold coins.
This price is indeed a bit expensive, if it weren't for the hunting season this year, ordinary people with a lot of income would not be able to watch a show at all, five gold coins are enough for a family of three to live a good life in the first half of the year.
It just so happened that the word 'poet' was also followed by the word 'poet', and he was now also a bard, so Bird took out five gold coins as soon as he became interested. "Please follow my mate" After the spotted cat-faced orc accepted the money, he directly asked Bird to follow the other orc beside him, and he led Bird.
The absurdist poet's tent was at the very back, and Bird tried to explore the other two tents along the way, but saw that the tent was tightly covered and there was no way to see the scenery inside, not only that, but the orcs outside the tent kept looking around, but there were also many curious people around them.
Bird walked into the circus and really found that there were so many orcs in this circus, and there was not a single human worker in sight, could it be that this circus was from the orc area?
After a while, Bird came to the outside of the tent where the Absurd Poets Project was located, this tent was not as tightly covered as the previous two tents, but the door was open for the guests to enter, Bird first looked at the two orcs standing outside the door, and then looked inside.
There were already a few people sitting scattered inside, some of the guests Bird knew he had met in the Black Bear Tavern, and three people who caught Bird's attention, Captain Pablo, the young guy who had followed him before, and the robed wizard of the Emperor's **.
Captain Pablo sat in a dark corner, looking at the robed wizard from time to time, but when he saw Bird enter, he began to look at Bird again.
And the young man also obviously noticed Bird, and shook the robed wizard beside him, and quickly pointed at Bird.
