"When did I say I was going to work here?"
Goron, who was dragged by the mouse girl Xiaomi, asked in a confused but angry tone. Of course, this was just pretending.
"I just said that to fool our deputy captain. Who would have thought that she would actually keep you, but forget it, she didn't really brand you as a slave and turn you into a slave... "
Xiaomi smiled a little awkwardly and continued: "Anyway, you are already homeless. Just help here these days. You will be free after we leave. Don't worry, we will pay you a sufficient salary." Yes, I guarantee it will be much more generous than that stingy wine boss of yours, provided of course that you do your job well."
"What kind of work do I have to do?" Goron nodded silently and accepted the job resignedly.
"Didn't you hear everything just now? In fact, there is not much work. I just clean the animal pens, clean up the feces, cook, and help dismantle the tents after the performance, carry luggage, etc. The work is very complicated, a bit dirty, and the workload is also large. It's not small, but you should be able to handle it, but..."
At this point, Xiaomi's face suddenly darkened, and she said seriously: "However, in our circus, there are some rules that you must not touch, and there are also some areas that you must not enter. If you violate After all this, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance, anyway... you will definitely regret it very much... "
"Well... I... I know..." Goron's head fell deeper to the ground.
The two people were talking and walking. Xiaomi suddenly opened a door curtain in front of him, as if he had opened the door to another world. A dazzling light and cheers like roaring waves rushed to his face. The expression on Goron's face instantly It was frozen. This was a shocking scene that the little country bumpkin who had grown up in a rainforest village had never seen before, and could not even imagine. Hundreds of people were sitting around the trapezoidal platform, including young people, adults, and children. , old men, soldiers, businessmen, sailors... everyone was laughing and shouting at the top of their lungs.
A 300-square-meter circular stage surrounds a 300-square-meter circular stage in the center of a more than 20-meter-high trapezoidal stage. An exaggeratedly dressed clown host stands in the center of the stage. His comical movements and funny intonations easily arouse the excitement of every audience present.
"Is this... a circus performance?" Goron murmured.
"Hehe... This is a VIP seat. Just stay here and watch. Don't run around. I'm going to get ready. The third show is my aerial acrobatics. Remember to applaud me and cheer me up soon." ”
After the rat girl finished speaking, she stopped caring about Goron and turned around and rushed into a locker room not far from them. Soon there were some laughter and banter from inside. From the corner of the opened door curtain, Goron's vision, enhanced by his mysterious ability, allowed him to see several men and women who were quickly changing their clothes and getting ready. Several of them were the village attackers that Goron had glanced at. But looking at their appearance at this time, Goron could not connect these pure performing artists with the cruel predators who created mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Gron's location is a corner of the backstage of the performance. Although it is not the best place to watch, it can have a panoramic view of the scenes on and off the stage at the same time, and see those who look calm and perform wonderfully in front of the stage. Professional killers and war machines, behind the scenes, move around like ants on a hot pot, looking focused, as if every second is precious to them. The applause and laughter of the audience are even more attractive than the priceless treasure of the Black Hand Ogre.
Although he only had a few glances from a distance at the beginning, Gronn was sure that these group of marauders were not as serious and focused as they are now when they slaughtered the ogre villages, as if they were an ogre with a danger level comparable to that of a dragon's lair. In their eyes, the human-demonic tribe was not as important as the ordinary audiences who paid twenty-five silver coins to enjoy the circus performance.
Even Goron has to admit that the show is very exciting.
The tarot cards and beans in the hands of the magician Black Jack are not only capable of killing people, they are also wonderful when used to perform some deceptive tricks. He conjured a rose with a diameter of more than five meters in the center of the stage out of thin air and then let it burrow into the ground. The disappearing opening performance directly brings the atmosphere to the climax.
The tall and muscular tidal giant is like a sea rock. The giant anchor in his hand that can challenge King Mogar head-on has become a large toy on the stage that can make children laugh.
The twins with delicate faces were entangled together, like two humanoid Medusas performing a lustful moment. Xiaomi, the mouse girl who brought Goron here, performed high-altitude acrobatics, relying on a rope suspended from twenty The meter-high slender steel wire and the long and slender rat tail behind it flipped and soared in the high air, like fairies dancing in the jungle. The scene was thrilling and exciting.
Only now did Gronn figure out what had caused Bearded Joe and those drunken men to fly away... Presumably the tail could easily withstand the full weight of the rat girl and the momentum of the jump, and it could also be used as a whip. Quite powerful. No wonder the whip-wielding deputy captain of the Blood Red Hat would be interested in her tail.
As for Sophia's animal taming performance, which was the finale, it directly brought the night into the craziest wave... burning whips, bright red cloth hats, sexy short skirts, high-waisted Riding boots, and groups of ferocious beasts... From the face of the female leader of the animal trainers at this time, there is no trace of arrogance, madness or laziness, only surging passion and the most brilliant and beautiful smile. , this woman who is like a flame also has a performance as fiery as flames. When she wields the magic whip burning with flames, ferocious beasts no matter how big they are, behave like little kittens under her orders. Dogs perform funny performances that are difficult for humans to do. The Queen's body is also making exaggerated, sexy and wonderful rhythmic movements, shuttling between the fangs and claws of the beast, perfectly interpreting the words "Beauty and the Beast"...
Goron watched the performance with complicated emotions. At this moment, the last bit of luck in his heart about the fairy tale circus also passed away as the performance on the stage progressed. Only at this moment did Gron realize how terrifying his opponent was. The hasty glance that night and the close observation before his eyes gave Gron a deeper understanding of the "fairy tale". In comparison, these performances were actually more shocking than the thrilling and cruel battle. Goron's body and mind.
Killing is not difficult, and it is commonplace for ogres. It is "commonplace" in the true sense. But when a group of murder experts don't care about "killing" at all, and instead devote all their passion to how to please the public, then It just had an indescribable weird smell. It's like the feeling of complete powerlessness when you think you have a deep enough understanding of the enemy, but suddenly find that all you know is just the surface that the opponent has no intention of covering up.
*************************************************** *************************************************** ****************
Goron tried his best to restrain his urge to take advantage of the opportunity when these people were on the performance stage to search for the whereabouts of his mother Rafana and Hakulili, because he knew that the more beautiful opportunities seemed, the more hidden they were. A dangerous trap, and now he can no longer afford another mistake and failure.
It's not that he has no chance at all. Gronn has vaguely guessed that the Fairy Tale Circus has been probed, harassed and even attacked directly by other dark organizations in recent times. Although the news of the appearance of the giant demon has not yet been leaked, it is just that The successful looting of the Black Hand Ogre's treasury was enough to attract countless greedy and crazy eyes.
The Black Hand Ogre has great strength and a hidden hiding place. It has stood firm for hundreds of years in the peninsula rainforest surrounded by powerful enemies and the living environment is extremely cruel. There is no need to prove its strength.
Therefore, everyone can only think about its treasures, and no one wants to get involved.
But a circus that travels from city to city obviously doesn't have the ability to make people cringe and resist huge temptations, especially when their true strength is not known to outsiders at all.
"Even a giant dragon may have its gold coins stolen by mice." This is a proverb that has been circulating in the Dota continent for a long time, and it is just right to apply it to the fairy tale circus. In fact, these days, dozens or even dozens of professional thieves and shadow killers visit the fairy tale circus almost every night. Although the core characters of the circus are all unimaginable super strong men, However, casualties of ordinary handymen and slaves were inevitable. This thief kidnapped one, and the assassin killed two. Over time, the Fairy Tale Circus began to fall into a state of serious shortage of manpower.
After all, the circus is not a small adventure team. It needs people to do everything. The daily work originally fell on a large number of handymen and slaves. But now, as long as anyone with ears in Lutide Port will not accept the employment of the Fairy Tale Circus , although those lower-level civilians who rely on temporary labor for a living like gold coins, they are not willing to be involved in this death vortex. After all, the casualty rate of one-third of the slaves every night is enough to scare away anyone who likes to take risks, no matter how many circuses come out. Even the scary commissions are not willing to come to seek death, so buying slaves has become the only way for Fairy Tale Circus to survive the difficulties. However, these days are the off-season for slave trading. The raging raging in the Emerald Ocean for nearly a thousand years has become a The natural disaster ghost ship "Rainbow Bird" appeared in nearby waters, which seriously affected maritime trade. Land transportation was frequently harassed by rainforest raiders. Therefore, the supply in the slave market is now seriously in short supply. It is simply not possible to buy hard-working and capable slaves. An easy thing to do.
So, Goron had this pretty good opportunity... He must seize this opportunity firmly.
