Chapter 4 An Invitation Letter

The rest went well, and the knight of Angsai, the bearded knight, inquired about what they had seen, had the clerk take notes, and let them go down the mountain.

Zoya's circus convoy stopped in a large clearing near the mine, where there were a few sparse trees, but not as few as woods. The trees in this area may have been cut down due to ore smelting, and the whole city is dry, hard, and lacking in vitality.

The procession of carriages was joined end to end in a circle, and camped around a spring. Fayer's carriage was driven by Achille, and as usual, it stopped away from the crowd. However, the vegetation here is sparse, and you can barely find two bushes of thorny willows, half-hidden by horse-drawn carriages.

As soon as Diarlando returned, he left Domon and Fayer to deal with the problems of the others, and rushed directly to Fayle's carriage. As fast as he could, he turned out the Pure Magic Crystal and the Moonlight Fish Stone, and grabbed two large handfuls and threw them to Rises. The young dragon head didn't lift it, and in one breath it ate up the large and small gems that almost buried itself.

After eating, Dearlando's expression finally relaxed. Jihua, who began to seriously consider visiting Count Grude's mansion in the evening.

The earl was known for his severity and infatuation, and it is said that his ex-wife had not loved any other woman for more than ten years, and it was rumored among the noblewomen and ladies of Augustus. What I saw today was the only son of the Earl.

The smell of freshly baked bread fills the air, as well as rich corn soup and well-fried steaks. The aroma of the food distracted Diarlando, and he decisively decided to put his infiltration into Jihua behind his mind and solve the livelihood problems first.

At the dinner table, almost everyone in the circus was there. Zoya presided over the pre-dinner prayers, and the members of the circus family began to enjoy dinner in a lively atmosphere after the prayers.

Achille sat next to Dearlandor as usual, at the bottom of the long table. At this moment, while munching on bread, he asked Deirlando, what had happened in the afternoon. Dearlando first asked them about their experience in the afternoon, and Achille suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and described how the head of Lan Li used his three-inch tongue to get rid of the deeds of the hairy boy.

It turned out that they were standing by in place, and after waiting for a long time, a very dragged little knight came with a few soldiers, shouting that they would arrest everyone.

The head of Lan Li seemed to know who was coming, and then first complimented the words of the city lord of the black lead city, saying that he was wise and fair, and judged right from wrong, and then took out the handwritten recommendation document of the mayor of Kanlar to prove that he and the others were really famous circuses and so on.

Then the little knight was blocked and arrested either without arresting people, and a bunch of people came to the stalemate. The bearded knight was more reasonable, politely solved the misunderstanding, and then escorted the circus all the way to the city.

"Escort?" Dierrando smiled, the Knight of Angsai was really old and spicy, in the name of escort, but in fact it was an escort and surveillance.

"Speaking of which, is there anything unusual about your body?" Diarlando thought that so many people in the group had drunk the canal water, and he couldn't help but worry about whether he would be poisoned.

Later, when we saw the corpse, the people who had drunk the water vomited, and the head of Lan Li gave us some medicines, saying that they could repel the poison, I had eaten it anyway, and it was not clear if it was effective or not. Achille thought of the corpse retching in the afternoon, looked at the steak in front of him, and suddenly couldn't swallow it anymore.

"Really...... If you feel sick to your stomach, remember to tell me or your master in time. I'm afraid there's parasites in the water......" Diarrando had already settled two dinners, and could only refrain from taking small sips of soup and watching others eat it.

"Parasites?!!Are we going to be monsters like the Crystal Demon Man?" Achille's voice suddenly raised, and everyone in the audience stopped eating and looked at the two of them.

"It's okay, it's okay...... I'm guessing...... Let's keep eating. Diarlando hurriedly smiled and waved his hand to explain, but after such a fuss, almost everyone remembered the miserable corpses on the side of the road, and suddenly lost their appetite.

Fayl sneered in his heart, drank his ale in two sips, and couldn't swallow it when he saw such a corpse, the people of Turanda were really too weak.

There was a lot of food left over from this meal, and most people reluctantly stuffed the amount of food on their plates, losing interest in the high plate of barbecue.

The group gradually dispersed, each going about his own work, setting up tents and caring for the livestock. Diarlando caught up with Fayer and was about to discuss sneaking into Grude Castle at night when a fast horse burst into the circus camp.

Immediately jumping down was a messenger who brought a brief invitation. Invite Zoya to bring a few members to the castle tomorrow at noon to perform for the distinguished guests, and specifically specify that the members with different colors of eyes should be brought.

The bounty was in a small red leather bag, and Zoya weighed it in her hand, and there were at least twenty standard gold coins. Such a generous earl, such a price can allow the entire circus to perform here for three days and three nights.

Zoya beckoned to Dearlandor, who immediately followed.

"What did you do again, why did the other party ask you to go by name?" Walking out to a place where no one could see, Zoya couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand and sigh and ask.

"I ...... I really didn't do anything, it's just that the young master Holm picked out my blindfold before, and then called me such eyes demon eyes. People here seem to think so, which sounds a bit bad......"

Dearrando touched his right eye, which was obscured by the blindfold, and recalled the scene when he was dug up by the Dragon King to complete the resurrection dragon bone ritual (Note 1). "Now I miss my old eyes more and more. Dearlando muttered quietly.

"What?" Zoya asked, puzzled.

"It's okay, I just think it wouldn't be so troublesome if the eyes were the same color, and the blindfold wouldn't be safe. I'm asking Fayle how to use magic to change his appearance, and once I've learned it, I'll be able to easily cover up this little problem. ”

Diarrando shrugged and shifted the subject. Not many people know the little secret of his rebirth, and he doesn't want more people to know it.

"Then are you going tomorrow?" Zoya said empathetically, following Deirlando's meaning.

"Go...... If you don't go, you can't do it. Anyway, we're all on his turf now, and we can't hide. I'm going to put on my makeup and go to the bar here in the evening to see if I can get some news. ”

"Okay...... Be careful yourself. Zoya patted Dearlandor on the shoulder and left alone.

When Deirlando returned to Fayir's carriage, he found Achille practicing his recovery spell on the fire, first scorching the skins and then restoring them with Agati's cane.

I wonder how Queen Agati or her followers would feel when they saw it? was then left behind.,No matter what method he uses.,Just be able to practice jishu.。

So instead of commenting on this ingenious practice, Diarlando walked over, patted the boy on the back and asked, "Achille, do you want to go to the tavern with me?"

"Tavern!, you're amazing, boss!" said Achille, jumping happily and dancing excitedly.

Fayer leaned against the side of the carriage and sat reclining to look at his magic scroll, then glanced up at Diarlandor.

"Fayle is coming, I'm in for a treat~ This is a port, and the tavern should be much more lively than the small town we went to before! There will be enthusiastic beauties, strong enough wine, and a lot of interesting people!"

Fayle's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard the spirits, and when he came to this country, if anything, what he particularly liked was probably the spirits like the burning Kutun snake venom.

The circus has only a dull ale and a sweet mead all year round, and Dorfaim has drunk real spirits five or six times a year, and the taste is really evocative. Fayer weighed the risks of going out with or without Deerlando, and Zuihou nodded happily and agreed to go along.

Dearrando changed his clothes, then put on two more mustaches, straightened his blindfolds, and made a disguise, and the group slipped out of the circus camp quietly on horseback.

"Boss, where is the tavern?" The road in the city is wide and straight, and most of the buildings on both sides are similar, but at the moment the gates are closed, and there are no shops in business. The three of them ran around, but they didn't find a tavern.

There were very few pedestrians on the road, and after turning around for a long time, Achille saw an old man at the intersection next to him, and hurriedly went up to inquire. Although the other party had the expression of a bad boy from a foreign country, he still reluctantly pointed the way, and all the entertainment venues were in the area near the coast.

"Sailors, merchants, mercenaries, and those who don't do their proper work are there!" said the man who showed the way.

"What is a serious job?" asked Dearlando, curious.

"Mining, smelting, and farming, of course!" the uncle blew his beard and proudly patted his chest with his calloused hands, very proud of his work.

"Haha, then you and the dwarven miners of the north must have a common language, and they are both proud of their work. Uncle, can I ask you one more thing? When I entered the city, I heard someone say that the demon eye, what is the demon eye?"

"That evil woman! Why are you asking this? Looking for death, if anyone accuses you of saying such things, you will be beheaded. I didn't hear anything! I didn't hear it! I didn't hear it...... "After saying that, the old man turned around and ran away, as if he was really afraid of getting into trouble.

(Note 1: Dragonbone Resurrection Ritual - In order to destroy the underground sacred spring of Augustus, the Demon Dragon King awakens the remains of the previous starlight dragon sleeping in the spring, and uses the method of demonizing the priestess to merge with it to create a monster like the dragon beast.) Since the Birmington family has a soul contract with the Starlight Dragon, the launch ceremony requires a fresh eyeball from the direct bloodline.
