Chapter VIII Objectives
With the help of the smoke screen, Dearrando retreated from the tunnel, and packed the pure magic crystals collected in the star box into a crystal bottle, and the magic crystals formed by various human emotions are not transparent and colorless extracted from gemstones, but have a faint color, and they exude a dream-like luster in the crystal bottle.
Then he immediately returned to the front desk, and he walked a few steps through the crowd to find Fayir, who was dressed in a robe, and then leaned into his ear and said, "Have you noticed?"
Although Fayle has long been accustomed to the noisy performance scene of the circus, he hates to have to participate in the curtain call every time, and is now shrinking behind everyone, trying to be quiet.
Of course he knew what Dearrando was talking about, and the lady in the first row of the audience, two seats to the mayor's left, had strange magical fluctuations on her body. However, he didn't expect Dierlando to come to the door when the curtain was called, and he couldn't wait for the end of the show.
"Hmm...... But I don't know what the magic is coming from, or what's causing it. Fayle whispered back. Although the woman had a lot of magic, she didn't look like a mage or a priest, and she didn't see any special magic equipment on her body.
There were other people in the audience who had similar traces of magic on them, but none as strong as the one on this woman.
"I'm going to ask who it is, and we're going to see it in the evening?" said Dearrando in a brisk whisper, and then walked through the crowd to the front row. Captain Zoya's gaze just now was urging him to hurry up and go to the front row to take a curtain call together.
The mayor stood up excitedly, crossed the boundary of the haystack on the ground, and strode directly to Zoya, with a smile on his face that he couldn't find his eyes. He proposed that tomorrow he would simply open an open-air performance, and he was willing to pay three times the price so that more audiences could see it.
"I'll talk about this tomorrow~" Zoya smiled and didn't refuse, but put the issue aside first, and chatted perfunctorily with the mayor and other VIPs who crowded in. Dearlando and the rest of the group ran to the auditorium, waving and interacting with the audience below, receiving a lot of food, handkerchiefs, ribbons, and corsages.
Dearlando kept pulling roses out of his body and giving them to the female audience, causing screams of happiness. When he ran to the lady with strange magical fluctuations, the flower offering was stopped, and the grim-faced man sitting next to the lady snatched the delicate rose and glared at Deirlandor with an unkind face.
Through the veil hanging from his hat, Diarlando could not see the lady's face clearly, but judging from the dress, it was a married lady. Without any pause, Diarlandor smiled brightly, turned around and ran to the audience on the other side.
The man watched Dierlando run away like a gust of wind, then looked at the rose in his hand, snorted coldly and crushed it directly, and the scattered petals were thrown on the ground, only a little red flower juice remained on the man's hand. The woman next to her took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped off the flower juice for the man, and then silently put the handkerchief away again.
Fayle, who hid behind the crowd, took in the strange behavior of the two men, and although he was forced to help by Dierlando, the incompatibility of the two did pique his interest in exploring.
After Dierlando and the others had run a lap, the audience reluctantly left. Diarrando, who was free, returned to Zoya and pretended to casually ask who the man and woman were just now from the mayor who was still pestering Zoya.
The mayor glanced at the two men who were about to walk to the door and said casually, "Ah, that's Mr. Longbottom and his wife, who was Miss Winny's beauty pageant winner ten years ago." Not only are people good-looking, but dancing and singing are also fascinating. It's a pity that he rarely appears after getting married, and he always appears with a veil. It's a rare occasion to come to the show with the whole family today. ”
The mayor patted Diarrando on the back and said, "You have a lot of vision, but they're already married!" and I think Miss Zoya is the most attractive woman I've ever seen in my life!"
"Where, where, Mistress Rick, you love to laugh. Zoya shook the small fan that she didn't know where to take it out, smiling perfunctorily. "It's not too early, we have to rearrange the show according to your wishes, ...... you watch?" Zoya stopped talking, and implicitly gave an eviction order.
"It's all said, don't call me Lord Rick! Call me Druff~" The mayor's obsessed eyes didn't want to leave Zoya for a moment, but the mayor's wife next to her was already impatient. She came over and unceremoniously twisted Druff's arm, and the mayor said Zoya goodbye bitterly, and got into a carriage to return to his mansion in the middle of the town in the night.
"Hey, I'm so tired~" Zoya yawned boredly, watching the members neatly clean up the venue. Achille immediately moved her chaise longue over, and Zoya sat down and watched the crowd clean up. Dearrando did not join the cleaning army, he turned his face to see that Zoya was about to speak, and Zoya immediately raised his hand to stop what he was about to say.
"I know what you've taken a fancy to, go ahead~ don't make any trouble. According to the program list, there will be a Miss Winnie beauty pageant in the city tomorrow, and the mayor just asked us to go to the day to help the fun, please come back early and don't delay tomorrow's performance. ”
"Beautiful Zoya, you are so understanding~" Diarlando smiled and grabbed the soft sword of the table and kissed it, completely ignoring the resentful gaze of the throwing knife thrown by the men of the whole group.
He ran back to Fayle's carriage in three steps and two steps, took off his shiny cheap performance costume and threw it into the carriage, and turned out his usual clothes and put them on. Fayle followed suit and returned, frowning at the sight of his actions.
"Do you think you're in the palace? Don't throw the mess on my carriage every time!!" Fayle snatched the Diarlandor out of the carriage with two fingers twisted in disgust, and then unceremoniously threw it on the ground. Then he took off his costume, folded it neatly, and placed it in a basket in the corner of the carriage.
Diarlando glanced at the clothes on the ground disappreliantly and shrugged, "Achille will clean it up anyway." Hurry up and get the map out and track them down. ”
After changing into his gray robe, Fayer took out a thick ancient book from the fifth floor of the third cabinet in the carriage, the cover of which was made of warm rhinoceros crocodile skin, and the surrounding area was trimmed with red copper, in a very simple style.
He opened the book, and it was dented inside, and it turned out to be a box disguised as a book, with a very polished blue-green stone flake embedded in it. Fayle brought the box to Diarlando, who took out a rose from his bosom that was the same as the one he had given to Mrs. Longbottom and placed it on the lid, and in a moment golden dots of light gradually appeared on the blue-green stone chips.
In order to find a wealthy goal more quickly during the trip, Deirlandor would make magic marks on the roses used in these performances, and then give them to the audience so that they could go on a night raid after the performance.
The stone flakes sensed the magic that Dearlando had passed on to them, and gradually revealed the terrain of the entire area. Centered on where they stood, there were many golden and reddish dots of light scattered around, some moving, some of them stopping.
The location of the city center is a bit dense, and it is estimated that it is a place for those tourists to stay. Others scattered and moved slowly out of the city, and those who were supposed to be spectators from local farms. Dearrando took a closer look and noticed that one of the dots had a little weaker light than the others, then stretched out his finger and nodded, and said affirmatively, "This is it!"
The point was moving in the northern part of the town, where there was not only a river, but also a small lake, and it seemed that the object of the tonight's visit was by the lake. Dearlando lost his camouflage blindfold when he changed clothes, and at this moment, the dragon's perception and human vision were superimposed, allowing him to see the direction of his destination more clearly.
Fayle couldn't see the map that came to Diarlando's mind, but he knew that his information should be correct. So he closed the Demon Detection Stone, and solemnly put away the map disguised as a book. There weren't many things in his hometown around him, and he took a big risk to dig out of the rubble of the ruined capital Augustus.
Diarrando whistled, and his own cow's spotted horse and Fayer's gray lean horse came running. Fayl gave him a surprised look and said, "You're going to ride there?" With the help of the magical anchors left behind by Deirlandor, such as those flowers, Fayl can use the short teleportation technique to directly teleport the two of them to their destination. Deirrando was going to ride over today!Fayle wondered.
"Hmm...... It's still early, and I think we'd better not use magic while there. Diarlando rolled over his horse, then turned to look at Fayle and waited for him to catch up.
"Okay......" Although Fayer was strange in his heart, he didn't look like he was joking, so he obediently got on his horse and followed Dierlando's horse to the northeast leisurely.
Even from such a distance, you can still faintly hear the noise coming from the circus tent, and it is estimated that everyone is eating supper. Diarlando was a little sorry to miss Aunt Rum's delicious cake, but the thought of the unknown energy ahead made her feel like something was stirring in her belly.
He opened the star box, and inside it was a small half box of pure magic crystals refined from human emotions. Rarely, Ress was happily buried in a pile of small transparent stones, wallowing in a pile of clear stones. Seeing Diarlando open the star box, he immediately jumped out, climbed to his shoulder with his clothes, and looked around condescendingly.
Seeing his movements, Fayle immediately stepped aside about five feet. Although the young dragon is now in a state of being full, he still subconsciously wants to avoid it, after all, the shadow left last time is too deep.
Today's moonlight is not very bright, and under the starry sky, the whole earth is shrouded in a deep indigo blue. The shadows of the dark hills in the distance blurred the ground from the sky. Not far out of the woods, I smelled the elegant fragrance of June Orchid wafting in the wind, and the fresh smell of water that can only be found close to the water source.
A small river appeared in front of them, narrow, about twenty feet wide, curling like a silver ribbon. Looking north along the shimmering river, a large manor house appeared in front of the two of them.
There are some willows and pine elms growing randomly along the river, blocking their tracks, but in fact, the night is the most haode cover, and no one will watch out for anything on such an indulgent and joyous night.
