Chapter 7 Performance
At dusk, a few crows quacked and returned to their nests, and the smoke had risen throughout the village, converging in mid-air to form a faint mist.
At the edge of the valley in the small village, under a large tree, two figures were there, Arthur and Guila.
"Don't be angry, it's just a joke. Arthur coaxed Gila next to him, but Gura just sat next to him and didn't speak. Because of Arthur's words, Gila has been angry all afternoon.
"It's about to be performed, and it's too late if you don't leave. What if they don't let us join?" Arthur looked at the angry little daughter-in-law Gila and said helplessly, but he couldn't help but think of the quarrel with his girlfriend in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Lao Tzu is just learning how to bark dogs, and he can make them listen to them fascinated!" "Gura was first disdainful, and then angry, "If you make such a joke again, we will break up!"
"Where, where......" Arthur replied. Although I knew that Guira didn't know what it meant, a cold sweat dripped in my heart and broke up?
The performance was held on the other side of the village, and in order to prevent fire, a large open space had been cleared and the people of the village had gathered.
Director Sigg is busy organizing the staff, and there is no need for a stage, as long as a bonfire, and the artists can perform a simple performance.
At this time, he suddenly saw Arthur and Gila coming from a distance, and greeted him warmly: "You guys are here, do you need any more props?"
Arthur laughed and said, "No, no, it's enough to have ourselves." ”
But the others were not so friendly, after all, the two were suspected of stealing people's jobs, and when they looked at Arthur, they also had a good cabbage and made the pig arch. It's just that Kira surprises Arthur by not giving any explanation, whether it's their relationship or her own gender.
This made Arthur sigh that for a man from a warlock family, this pride might be deep-rooted. Maybe even Gila himself didn't notice it, but this pride had melted all over his body with his blood, and it was the pride of the powerful for ordinary people. This is also the reason why it is difficult for powerful people to become friends with ordinary people, not necessarily forces, but the basis of friends is equality, if Gila can turn Arthur around with a wave of his hand, how can he become friends with him?
The show soon began, and the villagers formed a large circle outside the bonfire, and under the reflection of the firelight, there were many figures from a distance. The first to take the stage was a clown, who made a funny expression and greeted the surrounding audience, which immediately drew a burst of laughter from the crowd. And then there are one show after another, some magical, some peculiar. In the makeshift backstage made of cloth, Gila looked out with great interest. From time to time, he turned his head and talked to Arthur about the highlights of the show, and Arthur just smiled.
In fact, Arthur felt that the show itself was very ordinary, nothing special. After all, the previous life was the era of information explosion, and people's curiosity was brought to the extreme, what exaggerated, funny, and terrifying. It's all things that Arthur is tired of seeing. Not to mention anything else, Arthur remembered a program called "International Art Academy" in his previous life, which brought together the performances of masters from all over the world, but it could not arouse Arthur's interest more. Not to mention this group of folk artists, the only thing he cares about is the atmosphere of the scene and the fact that he is about to become one of the performers.
Hick suddenly came in and said, "Arnold, Gila, it's your turn!"
Gola turned her head and said visibly nervously, "Arnold, it's our turn." Arthur smiled so that he didn't have to be nervous, but he was also a little excited in his heart, after all, performing in front of so many people was something he had never experienced.
But when it was time for them to play, Gila smiled confidently, and all the nervousness vanished without a trace, and Arthur understood that it was probably some calming spell he had used on himself.
By the time Arthur came out from behind the cloth, the show was drawing to a close, and the audience was a little tired. Although it is not very late, the people of this small village still have the habit of going to bed early. So Arthur only received a sparse round of applause, and said to him, "We know you're here, so take it out if there's anything."
And when Rosewood came out, it immediately caused a burst of exclamations, and the applause was also very warm, so that Arthur couldn't help muttering again, brother has been so handsome.
Arthur and Guila smiled and saluted the audience, then took out their flutes and harps. Their performance began, playing only the most common folk tune called "Lady Talke", but the light tune immediately showed a skill that was by no means different from that of ordinary entertainers. Gila was probably taught by the most senior musicians, and Arthur had been immersed in this way for more than a decade, and without Gura using any demagogic powers, ordinary music was full of extraordinary flavor in their performances.
In the firelight, Arthur and Gila stood one by one, the music overlapping and intertwining, beating and dancing with the firelight. The audience's somewhat tired hearts were also lightened. Unlike the noise of the others' performances, everyone was silent, for fear of missing a single syllable, until the end of the song broke out into thunderous applause. Arthur and Gila left the show after one more performance at the request of the enthusiastic audience.
Hick was greeted by a warm invitation from Schick to join the Blue Moon Troupe. And Guira just smiled faintly, Arthur guessed that the time for calming spells had probably not passed yet!
Sigg sighed, this time I really picked up a treasure, with the two of them, the performance of the harvest festival will definitely be smoother, maybe it can still crush those big art troupes!
When the show is over, Arthur and Gura return to the hotel, where they book a room and get ready to rest. This made the brown-haired young man who cared about them even more heartbroken, and his beautiful feelings broke the moment they closed the door, and Arthur, who noticed this, secretly laughed evilly.
"Arnold, have you noticed?" said to Arthur as she entered the door (this is also Arthur's deliberate advice, never call him by his real name at any time).
"What?" Arthur groaned as he fell on the bed with a grin, the old wooden bed under his weight, but fortunately he hadn't yet declared a strike.
"Hostility! Someone seems to want to deal with us?" said Gila as she sat on a wooden chair and said with some concern, "but there are too many people, I can't tell who it is, so let's be careful tomorrow!"
"I feel it, I'm careful, just let it go, I can't deal with it, don't you still have you? Can't you deal with it, don't you still have mud pills? The three of us cooperated, even a "knight of justice" was killed, An-la, An-la, sleep is important!" Arthur said nonchalantly. It's not that he's arrogant, it's that the strength of their small team is really extraordinary, and Mud Pill, a secret team member, is actually their strongest help.
Guira thought about it, there was really nothing to worry about, if it was just him, he might still be afraid of the other party's multi-person raid, but with Arthur and Mud Pill, everything was solved. It's nice to have a strong companion!
Gila thought for a moment and said, "Arnold, the Righteous Knight is a symbol of justice, the spiritual idol of all knights, how can he come back to deal with us?"
"Maybe they're thinking I'm an ogre, maybe they've seen you lustful, and maybe there's a righteous knight with a crippled head passing by. Alright, alright, let's sleep, it's been a long time since I've experienced what a bed feels like!" Arthur snapped.
Gila wanted to argue, but Arthur on the bed was already snoring happily, so she had to shut up. What had happened today had left him without sleep, and he had been in a long state of excitement as soon as the time had elapsed his spell to calm down, the first of its kind for him!
Regardless of the fact that when he finished imagining the future, he wanted to focus on the present and get some sleep, he was dumbfounded.
There was only one large bed in the room, and although the bed was large, Arthur was not small, and at this moment Arthur stretched his limbs, and the place to rest was very pitiful.
Early the next morning, the troupe set off early in the morning. Gila sat lazily on the gang and yawned from time to time. Last night, in order to compete with Arthur for that little bit of survival space, he spent a lot of effort, and Arthur didn't wake up no matter how much he tossed, and finally he used his spirit to simulate a strong hostility and murderous aura, which woke Arthur up instantly. I barely got a place to rest, and because I slept too late, I looked very unrefreshed today.
didn't know that someone looked at him, and his heart was dripping blood. There was nothing soundproofing in such a small hotel, and the bed in their room kept barking last night, and today he looked so tired, which is a normal association that all men have.
Arthur, on the other hand, strode down the road, due to the limited carriage of the troupe, as well as the props for the performance and the luggage of the actors. So not everyone can sit in the car. And Arthur was indeed too heavy, so he simply kept walking on the road, anyway, there was earth to replenish his strength at every step, and he didn't feel tired. He had slept well last night, but he was at a loss for the hostility that the brown-haired young man had exuded.
Regardless of everyone's thoughts, the procession kept marching on the forest path. Suddenly, Kira's voice sounded in Arthur's heart, "Arnold, someone is coming." A lot of people. "It's a psychic connection spell that must connect each other's consciousness with the consent of the other person and be able to talk to each other. Today, Gila uses psychic search from time to time, and naturally perceives the proximity of creatures before Arthur.
"Wait a minute, I'll take care of it. Arthur also said in his heart.
"Why should I leave it to you. Guila dissatisfied.
"Because I'm ugly, you can sympathize with the vulnerable, okay? Don't be rambling like a woman. Arthur said dryly.
Woman!!!! Although the person who came was imminent, the speed of the conversation in their hearts was much faster than that of their mouths, and they had already argued for hundreds of words.
"Stand still. A man with a strong face sat on his horse and said haughtily. "I'm the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, and this area is protected by me!" The man looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a brand new riding outfit and holding a shiny saber.
Arthur and Kira looked at each other and said inwardly, "The thieves?"
Exegesis:
The Knights of Justice are paladins who believe in Rabindranath Tagore, the patron saint of the Knights of Faith, the god of justice and justice, whose church is called the Sword of the Oath. Because the core doctrine of the Church was "uphold justice and punish evil," it had a wide adherence among the common people and was believed by most knights. And the knights of the apologists of the Church are also in the name of justice.
The symbol of the Sword of Oath is the shield sword, with the shield in front and the sword in the back, which symbolizes protection and punishment.
To become a Knight of Justice, the minimum standard required is level 10, and you must be familiar with the canon and behave in accordance with the doctrine. This also makes every Knights of Justice a true powerhouse, and their actions also make them idols.
