Chapter 12: Going to the Feast
Diarlando looked around, the sun had risen very high, it was estimated that it was at least ten o'clock, and he fell asleep with his head covered, and unknowingly passed for several hours. At noon, he had to go to the invitation of the city lord Count Groot, so it was no wonder that Zoya unceremoniously woke herself up with food.
"If only you woke me up with your passionate lips~" Diarrando grabbed his short hair and dusted off the crumbs.
"Who said I didn't~ I kissed you for a long time just now, and you didn't wake up!zuihou still woke you up with food, it really made me sad~" Zoya covered her mouth and smiled, helping Diarrando remove a few undusted crumbs.
"Really, then I'm too rude~" With a smile, Diarlando quickly freshened up, fed Reeth, brought enough pure magic crystals, and ate his breakfast and lunch. Finally, half an hour later, he joined Zoya's small group and set off for Count Grude's luncheon.
Since the last time the whole circus was brainwashed by the dragon flute, Diarrando has ceased to be an actor in the troupe, which was modified when Fayle re-hinted at the troupe.
Because Diarlando found that he was directly exposed to many ordinary people, if he encountered any force majeure, it would be too troublesome to clean up the aftermath. This time, it was the Earl who indicated that he wanted to go by himself, so he simply dressed in his ordinary clothes and honestly followed as a wandering mercenary.
There were not many people in the performance team today, only five people, because the Count meant to put on a small performance. In addition to Zoya, the rest are Fayir, Dan, Domon and Radardu.
Everyone rode horses, except for Radardu, and the animal trainer with the blood of a giant strode after everyone, and two black and white sheep carvings flew above the giants, which were the animals he used to perform today.
Halfway up the mountain, Diarrando's face suddenly became a little strange, and he threw a small object and smashed Fayle, motioning for him to come closer and speak.
Fayer slowed down and approached, and Deirlandor glanced at the gray castle that melted into the rocks, and whispered to the mage, "I'm in trouble, there's an acquaintance......
"Who?" Fayle wandered alone in Turanda after taking a trip from the ghost gate, the Bran people who had followed him into Turanda's territory should have all died, how could an "acquaintance" suddenly appear?
"The Kenda Knight is here......" Dearlando replied to the mage's question as he touched his nose. He had just suddenly felt a familiar homologous magic appear in the castle, and it should be the wolf-toothed knight Kenda Durandab who had arrived here through the teleportation array.
"......" Fayle's face did not change, but he was also shocked in his heart. He had been dealing with the Kenda knights for a long time, and as a guard for Bran's diplomatic mission, the person responsible for escorting the priestess of Jojava was Kenda.
Although the plot to destroy Augustus was changed by the defection of Giorgava, it was ultimately succeeded with the help of the traitors Archduke Lyon and Duke Zannaya. The Kenda Knight is one of the few people in Turanda who now know and know what Fayle had done.
"Will he come and kill me?" said Fayle, looking at Diarlando defiantly. At the beginning of the order of the Demon Dragon King, he stood on the top of Augustus Peak, set up a bloody array, and released all the magic power and life gems in his body.
Driven by Bran's pheromones and magic arrays, those gems were transformed into a large number of devourers, and it was these devourers who slaughtered tens of thousands of people before Augustus could evacuate, and those who did not die on the spot were also transformed into zombie-like crystal demons.
If you count the number of casualties in the mouths of the devourers, the number of Turandans who died because of Fayil is too numerous to count. (See The Little Tailor and the Wolf Knight for details)
"Alas...... If I hadn't had no memory, I would have killed you first, and I'd have waited for Kenda!" Dearlando sighed in annoyance. At that time, his soul was attached to the dragon egg, because he had broken the connection with the main body and had no memory, so he mistakenly signed a master-servant contract with Fayle. Now that the contract has become too important, there is no time or suitable person to change it (see Dragonheart Knight for details).
Fayle sneered, and there was an inexplicable pleasure in his heart. Ever since he was forced to be a slave to the Starlight Dragon, he has always regretted his greed and recklessness. Thinking about it from Dierlando's perspective today, as the crown prince of the country, he is estimated to regret tens of millions of times more than himself.
Diarrando glanced at Fair with a complicated expression and continued: "Later, I have dealt with you a lot, and I found that your nature is not bad. Judging by your Bran's cruel style, you are just a weapon in the hands of the Dragon King, a pawn that you will throw away when you run out. ”
"So you have mercy on me and have so magnanimously spared my life, or have you simply pretended to forget about the tens of thousands of people who died at my hands because you had to resort to my liliang?" said Fartier at Dillando, as if intending to anger the man in front of him who held the power to kill himself.
Dearlando looked at Fayle calmly, with only one honesty in his blue and hazel-green eyes. "The puppet pawn with his hands stained with the blood of the people of Turanda has died at the summit of Augustus, and I now see an exile struggling to survive in peace. As long as you are no longer evil, I am willing to give you a chance to be born again. ”
"Oh, no more evil, how do you know what kind of person I am?" said Fayle, turning his head in disgust, not wanting to look at Deirlando's self-proclaimed righteous face.
"Remember the first day I joined the circus? You saved the whole circus, and you didn't hesitate to risk your life to do it. From then on I knew that your humanity had not been extinguished. Deirlando reminded Fair that mages weren't necessarily as bad as he thought.
When Reseth was born, Dearlando didn't understand how terrible the thirst of the young dragon was, and thought that he would only need to endure it for a while. Unexpectedly, after less than three hours with the circus, Riess's instinct overwhelmed Deirlando's consciousness and began to frantically slaughter nearby animals and devour them, and even Zuihou shifted his target to humans.
It was Fair who stopped the terrified crowd and rushed up to take Dearlando and the drake away from the circus with a teleportation spell. The furious baby dragon bit off two of his fingers, but it was by swallowing the flesh of the mana Fair that the thirst of the baby dragon was quenched, and Deirlandor regained control of his body.
Afterwards, although Dearrando made the young dragon spit out the fingers of the mage who swallowed it and helped the mage catch it, every time he thought about it, his heart was terrified. If it weren't for Fayle's stepping up, the consequences of the young dragon's madness would have been even more terrifying, and I don't know how many innocent civilians would have died that night.
The people of the circus were all brainwashed by Fayle's spiritualism and forgot what had happened that day, but Dirrando himself would not forget and would always take this as a warning. It was also the first time that Deirlandor had changed his mind about Fayle, Bran's former spy.
"What are you two grinding about?" Zoya's voice came from far ahead, it turned out that the two of them had fallen behind a lot unconsciously, no wonder Zoya was angry.
Deirlandor and Fayer glanced at the mysterious beauty leader, which was another mystery. In fact, Fayel's spiritualism had no effect on Zoya, and she chose to accept Dirrando despite remembering all the terrible events that had happened that day. Just like the embarrassed, unidentified, self-proclaimed amnesiac Fayle who was accepted more than a year ago.
Both men quickened their march with their own thoughts, keeping up with Radardu in front.
"I will convince Kenda, I believe that if you were born in Turanda, you would be a person of integrity and kindness like Kenda. After a while, Dearlando said a few words, and then rushed to the front of the group, walking side by side with Zoya. Fayle sneered with his trademark disdain.
The procession of several people circled the winding mountain path and finally reached the foot of the castle. A wide platform has been carved out here, and the vegetation here has increased a lot compared to the barrenness below the mountain, and there are actually several flower beds, planted with large hibiscus and gentian flowers, which are in full bloom at the moment, and thousands of dark blue and pink-purple flowers are dotted on the branches, making people sweep away the oppressive feeling brought by the gray castle in front of them.
After receiving the report from the guards, the knight of Angsai came out and led them into the castle through the side door, because most of the castle is inside the mountain, the summer heat is swept away, and it is very cool and pleasant.
The banquet hall was on the second floor, but according to the knight of Angsai, an important guest suddenly came to the city and might have to postpone the luncheon, so the circus people were arranged to rest and prepare in a room next to the banquet hall.
After another half hour or so, a servant finally came to inform them that they could go out and perform. With a little curiosity, the crowd rushed out to see what the generous Earl was like, but when they reached the hall, they found only one woman sitting at the table.
