Goron quickly put an end to the ridiculous idea just now. The pig-faced clown he just met was enough to prove everything.
The fairy tale in front of him was his nightmare.
*************************************************** *************************************************** *************
"Here we are."
After walking for a while in the narrow and crowded passage, the rat girl Xiaomi finally dragged Gron into a certain room. It was dark inside, and Gron was smelt by the beast before he saw anything. The smell made him frown. It was a terrible smell mixed with beast excrement and secretions that could only be smelled in the filthiest animal dens. Although ogres don't care about the dirty and smelly environment, Goron and his family are exceptions. Neither his mother nor sister Lily can stand the stench and filth, and sometimes even Goron who has just finished cooking is covered in blood. Longdu was refused to approach them.
Goron looked around, and a layer of sweat suddenly broke out on his vest. In this dim room, he didn't know how big it was, there were more than a dozen pairs of green and fierce lights shining in it. Goron, who grew up in the rain forest, naturally knew what it was. It was the fluorescence emitted from the eyes of carnivorous beasts. Looking around, this place is actually crowded with wild animals, ranging from tigers, lions, leopards and other carnivorous animals to elephants, horses and sheep and other herbivorous animals. Moreover, all of them are beasts without any chains or iron cages.
"Deputy Captain Sophia, I have brought you this person." From the moment he saw the beautiful beast tamer, the last bit of drunkenness in the mouse girl Xiaomi disappeared, and there was a hint of trepidation in her tone of voice. .
Goron's heart tightened, and his attention immediately turned away from the beast, because listening to the words of the drunkard Xiaomi, she seemed to be going specifically for him.
"Has my identity been exposed?"
Doubts arose in his mind, but the expression on Goron's face did not change at all. He even had the intention to secretly look at the deputy circus leader in front of him named Sophia, who had the weird title of "Blood Red Hat".
This is a woman whose first impression is that of a ball of flame. She has red eyes, a red cloth hat, a red waist-length skirt, and red high-waisted riding boots... Although this gorgeous and fiery woman is lazily sleeping now. He was sitting on a dozing gray giant wolf, looking extremely relaxed and half asleep, like an elf taking a nap in the jungle... If it weren't for the fact that there were all kinds of ferocious beasts lying down and lying down here, and the smell was awe-inspiring. If you can't stand it, it's definitely a sight to behold.
The female animal trainer barely opened her eyes, glanced at Goron, and then quickly closed them.
"Xiaomi... I seem to have told you to go to the slave market and buy a few slaves who can be used and thrown around easily, but you went there all afternoon and brought back such a piece of trash. Boy..."
"Uh... That's it, Deputy Captain Sophia, don't you want a slave who is hard-working and good at cooking? But these days... There is a slave market these days. There was nothing good for sale on the Internet, and the supply of halflings and humans was very tight. The rest were some stupid old guys, so I looked around, and then I 'picked up' this child. He was an orphan. Although he is not a slave and does not have the mark of being a slave, this child will definitely meet your requirements."
The mouse girl Xiaomi stammered, and Goron was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why he came here to apply for a job inexplicably, but he quickly realized that if he wanted to successfully sneak into the fairy tale circus, this might be It would be a good opportunity. You don’t need to guess to know that the rat girl Xiaomi went to the pub to drink all afternoon, and then randomly picked up people to handle the tasks. The selection of Goron was purely accidental, so Goron didn’t have to worry about his identity being leaked for the time being. It was just the word "use and throw away" spoken by the female animal trainer that made Goron feel a little nervous.
As if he knew the temperament of his subordinates very well, Deputy Captain Sophia closed her eyes and snorted coldly and said: "I think you were greedy and lazy, and then you went somewhere to drink rum all afternoon. How many times did you drink rum?" I can smell the stench of alcohol on your body from ten meters away. Even the stench of my 'children' can't cover up the smell of alcohol. As for this good-for-nothing kid, you probably kidnapped him from anywhere. Came here for business..."
Although Sophia did not see it with her own eyes, her guess was very close to the truth. It was obvious that she understood her subordinate's temperament and hobbies very well.
Although the female animal trainer looked lazy and didn't even have the strength to get angry, the mouse girl Xiaomi was already sweating profusely and looked embarrassed. The slender tail behind her butt was tightly wrapped around her waist. It was obvious that she had just Clown Pig Three's advice has not been forgotten by her.
In order to save his own tail, Xiaomi immediately explained: "I rescued this child from a tavern owner. He has no relatives and was almost sold into slavery. Although... Although he is old A little small, but I think he seems to be quite strong. He may have dwarf blood in him, and... And his cooking skills are really good. The Athlon steak he makes tastes quite authentic. You know? , didn’t you say we don’t have a chef now? Oh, I think he can do the work of several people... "
"Okay, shut up..."
Sophia, who was sleeping on the giant gray wolf, waved her hand impatiently to interrupt Xiaomi's increasingly incoherent words, and said in a sleepy voice: "Go down, I have barely slept in the past two days, and I don't have the energy to settle accounts with you for the time being. Now ... Let me sleep quietly for a while..."
"Then... what about this child?" Xiaomi asked cautiously: "If he is not needed, I will let him leave in a while."
In fact, she really just wanted to bring Goron, a little fan, here to watch a circus show at first. It was only after entering the circus that she remembered the "purchase" that she had completely forgotten after drinking two glasses of rum. She suddenly wanted to use Gron to deliver the task. Now as long as the deputy leader says "No need, drive him away", she will have completed the task. Anyway, I brought him, but you didn't take a fancy to it. , even if the accounts are settled afterwards, the punishment will be reduced a lot, and then the rat girl can take Gronn to the theater with peace of mind, and then let him leave.
but... ...
"Okay... We are short of manpower here now, and I don't bother to care about his origins. I will take him down, tell him a few rules of the circus, and then find him some work, right? , please clean this place for me before tomorrow morning. After all the previous slaves died, my stable has not been cleaned for a long time... "
*************************************************** *************************************************** *****************
When Goron was taken away by the rat girl Xiaomi, a dull male voice suddenly sounded in the animal pen: "This boy seems to be very interesting."
"Yeah... It's very interesting... He suddenly saw so many of my unchained 'children' that they were not scared to wet their pants. Either he is naturally bold and calm... or he has serious worries or purposes... "Sofia replied lazily, as if she had long known that there were other people besides her and the herd in this animal pen.
"Not only that, didn't you notice that flash of killing intent... just when he saw you and your 'children'?"
"So what can I do..." Sophia said nonchalantly: "At the worst, it's some dead remnant whose family was ruined by us who came to seek revenge from us. Aren't there a few of these little brats every year? They are always too lazy to wipe their butts after helping the slackers, leaving a lot of hands and tails... I even suspect that they deliberately left the Avengers to relieve their boredom, but it's not a big deal, and the Bean Boy obviously didn't He has not received any combat training, and has not even broken a seal of the gods. We are short of manpower these days, all the lower-level servants have been killed by those annoying flies, and no handymen are willing to come to work with us. There is no way... just We can use him for a few days first, and if he is honest, it will be fine. After using him, let him go. If he is not honest, it will be even easier. Just use him as feed for them... "
As he spoke, the female animal trainer seemed to be unable to open her eyes at all. He said intermittently as if in a dream: "Okay, okay... Mr. Leader... My 'Emperor'... Please... Just spare me... Ever since we raided that damn ogre lair and captured these two big 'trouble's, little thieves without eyes come to harass them every night, making it hard for them to sleep well. , and more than a dozen lower-level servants were killed. Now there is no one to clean the animal pens. Everywhere stunks. It’s really stinking to death. Fortunately... We are leaving this damn place soon... Wait Today's show is over... Before the show starts, let me take a nap... just for a little while... "
The words gradually disappeared, and this time Sophia finally fell asleep completely, and the dull and hoarse male voice no longer sounded. In the entire animal pen, only the heavy breathing of the beast echoed in the darkness.
