"us… "
The young magician couldn't wait to speak until the stranger completely disappeared at the entrance. Compared with the other members, he is obviously more immature, and there are even two pimples on his young face.
"Jason, that thing is too dangerous, it's a good thing for us to throw it away."
Since the face is covered with oil paint, the expression of the blue-haired clown cannot be seen.
"It's better to leave Beldylan, it's too dangerous here."
The lion suggested in a dull voice, and the animal trainer quickly agreed.
The blue-haired clown looked at his team members, except for the magician, almost everyone was injured.
"Okay, we have been performing in the capital for a week, and it is not abrupt to leave. Now we have to decide, where are we going? Should we go to Sinkville in Rhodesburg as planned, or go further? "
"Let's go a little farther away. The woman just now is definitely level 7, or even level 8. The man after that is even more terrifying. I can't even understand how his ability works. This place is really scary..."
The gorgeously dressed dancer suggested, and patted her overly plump breasts. But no one except the magician was in the mood to enjoy the scene.
The clown thought for a while. They are a group of people who live in no fixed place. They will not feel reluctant to leave a certain city, but the destination of the next stop must be chosen well...
"Then go to Nolan, it's far enough away, and it's also considered the second largest city in the Kingdom. There will be no shortage of citizens who like circuses. Although the plague happened a few days ago, it has been effectively resolved. Yes, I Members of the regiment, the next stop is Nolan City, let Beldylan go to hell with these dangerous things!"
Not to mention the ill-informed circus, Jenkins found Granny Caroline soon after he stepped out of the tent.
Because of the price of a potato, she had a dispute with the merchant on the side of the road, and the sound of the quarrel could be heard from across the street. Jenkins noticed this side from a long distance, and found the brown bead flower at a glance.
"Hello, are you Ms Hill Caroline?"
While the two gentlemen passing by were trying to dissuade the potato vendor, Jenkins hurried forward to ask.
"Who are you?"
The old man asked suspiciously, with a strong sense of distrust in his tone. This is understandable considering she was recently swindled out of a large sum of money by scammers.
"I'm Audrey... I'm a friend of Miss Gunivere Catherine Eisenach, and she entrusted me to visit you."
That name was Miss Audrey's real name. When she was still learning dance from Mrs. Carrolly, she naturally didn't use "Audrey" as her name.
"Here is her letter!"
After taking out Miss Audrey's letter, Granny Caroline finally believed in his identity.
Helping the old man carry the basket of potatoes, the two walked through the alleys of the city and returned to the alley in the slums. The police gentlemen and the corpses in that place are gone, but there are still black marks on the ground.
Seeing Jenkins staring at the blood in the corner, Grandma Caroline, who was slowly taking the key, said:
"It's human blood. Someone probably died here again. Young man, this is nothing new. Judging by your appearance, I bet a bottle of gin. You must have never lived in such a place."
"Yes."
He suspected that Grandma Caroline was reminding him that she hadn't brought a gift when she visited the old man.
Since it is an apartment shared by multiple people, after opening the door, the hallway is full of strange smelling clothes and shoes.
The two walked up the creaking old wooden stairs spirally, with the smell of decaying wood in their noses. On the door of the second-floor room closest to the stairs, some skull-like plaster ornaments hung on the door, which changed Jenkins' feeling about the place again.
"Old Scorpius, he's a freak."
Granny Caroline muttered, leading Jenkins up. Her room was on the innermost side of the third floor. There was only an umbrella reclining in front of the door, but otherwise it was very clean.
There is no peculiar smell in the old man's apartment as Jenkins imagined, and the decoration and furniture display in the living room are also very tasteful. Jenkins loves her ornament on the wall cabinet, three mechanical figures made of polished screws, all in different poses.
Grandma Caroline also has a cat. Although the owner has not been at home for several days, she has not been hungry. It was a female cat with snow-white fur. Compared with Chocolate, its body was extraordinarily slender and larger. It had beautiful eyes and was standing on the dining table when Jenkins walked through the door after Granny Caroline, seemingly interested in chocolate.
"Is your cat a tom?"
Granny Caroline suddenly asked.
"No, it's a female cat."
The old man immediately lost interest in chocolate.
She searched the kitchen for a long time before she got a cup of tea and served it to Jenkins. Jenkins didn't care about the quality of the tea, but the cup didn't seem clean.
He picked it up politely and took a sip, then stopped moving.
"Isn't it too dangerous for you to live in this kind of place?"
Seeing that there was nothing else to talk about, he started talking about what happened recently. After returning to Nolan City, I will definitely report to Miss Audrey about the living conditions of Grandma Caroline, so I need to know more about it.
"It's a bit dangerous, but as long as you don't go out after the sun goes down, and don't go near windows and doors... unless someone uses a steam bomb in such a place."
"Would anyone do that?"
"I remember that there was indeed an explosion last year, but it was not a bomb, it was a steam pipe in the alley. After that night, the residents on the first floor of this building were replaced."
Neither sadness nor joy can be heard, it seems that they are just quietly stating a simple fact.
"Have you considered moving to another place? I think it should not be difficult to find an apartment with a similar rent as here."
He suggested that it was impossible to imagine life living here.
"I'm used to it here."
Grandma Caroline waved her hand: "And I'm no longer young, and I don't have the energy to adapt to the new life. It's good here... Tell me about Gunnevere. Although we communicate every year, The last time I saw her was at the harvest celebration ten years ago."
Miss Audrey didn't tell Jenkins what kind of job she should be in the eyes of ordinary people, and Jenkins didn't know what Granny Caroline knew about Miss Audrey. In order to prevent her real identity from being leaked, Jenkins could only shirk that he was just an ordinary friend of Miss Eisenach, and he helped deliver the letter because he was on the way.
But Granny Caroline obviously didn't believe that.
