Fairy Tale Circus has a large apprentice team, which is very unreasonable. Generally, circuses will only retain approximately the same number of apprentices as senior members to train as the future backbone of the circus. However, Fairy Tale Circus has a huge apprenticeship of nearly fifty people. The scale, and the number of people is not fixed, new blood like Gronn will often be added, and people will die suddenly. The training camp is also managed more like training an army.
Each fairy tale apprentice has his own number. Counting from "one" onwards, there are as many numbers as there are people. The number is not fixed. Apprentices with lower numbers can challenge apprentices with higher numbers. After the challenge is successful, the two parties exchange numbers. Or if the apprentice at the top dies, everyone behind that row can move up a level.
It is worth mentioning that the apprentice with the higher number can suppress or even order the apprentice with the lower number. The greater the numerical gap between the two, the greater the power and authority. The "first" can even directly order the "last number" to commit suicide.
From every angle, this is abnormal.
As the last newcomer to join, Goron was honored to receive his own number, "No. 47", or... "Tail Number".
Although they are apprentices of the circus, everyone basically spent this morning in heavy work. As mentioned before, the Fairy Tale Circus is currently experiencing a shortage of manpower, especially the serious lack of labor at the bottom. For such a large circus, the castle-like main tent and dozens of sub-tents of various sizes need to be dismantled, folded and put away.
The various beasts, which were even more numerous than the people, had to be fed and cared for, and the various large-scale acrobatic performance equipment also had to be tidied up. Nearly a hundred servants and temporary handymen were originally responsible for these tasks, but they all ran away and died. Death can now only be done by these apprentices. Gronn even suspected that the dark forces in Etide Port planned to use this method to delay the progress of Fairy Tale's evacuation operation.
As for the official members of Fairy Tale, except when they are performing, they usually have no idea where they hide.
The task assigned to Gron was to deal with the corpses, which was the pile that was placed in front of them in the morning. He needed to thoroughly check the belongings of each person, sort out the belongings of the deceased, pick out useful things, and record the cause of death of each person. Then burn all the bodies.
Except for necromancers, I’m afraid no one wants to deal with a bunch of corpses, not to mention that many of the corpses have miserable deaths and hideous faces. Many people believe that staying with corpses for a long time will be cursed by evil spirits and will change after death. Become undead creatures, and this has indeed been confirmed by the research of some magisters. High concentration of death energy is the main reason for the formation of natural undead. Therefore, collecting corpses has always been a job that no one wants to take over, no matter where it is.
As a thin newcomer, Gron was not surprised to be thrown into this chore. Seeing other apprentices leaving with expressions of sympathy or gloating, Goron himself didn't care at all. After finding that there was no one around, he skillfully tore off a corner of his clothes, moistened it at a nearby drinking water place and wrapped it in On his face, he rules the kitchen of the Black Hand Ogre, and the corpses in front of him are not even a fraction of the workload he needs to handle every day.
Gron's work was very detailed and conscientious. He carefully investigated each deceased person, stripped them naked, recorded their gender, race, physical characteristics, cause of death, location of fatal wounds and other information on papyrus, and then removed the body parts of the deceased. The equipment was gathered together, detailed records were made, and finally a shallow pit was dug, firewood was piled, and all the corpses and their clothes were burned.
In the world of magic, death does not mean the end. An experienced high-level necromancer can even easily obtain more and more accurate information from a corpse than when the person was alive. Therefore, the disposal of corpses is very necessary, and when there is no priest, flame is often a good choice.
In any case, these tasks are too simple for Goron. He completed the work that originally required three people to do a whole day by himself, and it is not even afternoon yet, but the pig-faced instructor is also Strictly enforcing the rules he set, Goron had no food for the whole day because he was late in the morning.
Although he wears a human skin, Goron is still an ogre at heart. For an ogre, although his stomach is very easy to get hungry, it is not difficult to find something to satisfy his hunger. After all, the ogre's recipe Extremely broad.
But Goron did not do this. He silently endured the unbearable hunger. After his work, Goron did not wander around, but stayed quietly in a daze. It was not that he did not want to find clues about his family, but that Goron Long knew that during the first period of time, there was probably a pair of eyes hiding in the dark and secretly watching him. While he was in a daze, he actually had a lot of things to do, such as studying the gadgets he had on him that he thought would be useless.
The day passed quickly like this, and it was almost dusk. When an apprentice ran over to notify Goron to gather, the little ogre, who was so hungry that his eyes were filled with stars, stood up with difficulty and followed him to the gathering place. .

"Today's task was not completed satisfactorily. The scheduled plan has only reached 70%. So I am happy to tell you that everyone's dinner share tonight will be halved. Then, after I finish checking my personal tasks After completing the situation, all the unqualified guys will be rewarded with a few whips. "
Harley Quinn gently stroked the rolled whip in her hand, licking her lips with her scarlet tongue, and said words that made all the children tremble: "You lazy guys, you really think you can learn to do somersaults and throw flies." Can the knife stay in the fairy tale? If you really think so, then I guarantee that you will not survive until the end... By the way, the new little guy."
Harley Quinn looked at Goron, who had his head lowered, and suddenly giggled: "You may not know yet, but our fairy tale apprentice training camp may be different from other circuses. Everyone here is picked up by us. Orphans, or bought slaves, everyone here is a scum that no one cares about even after death. Of course, this includes you. I can tell you responsibly, no, I am telling you here. Of all of you, those of you who can survive in the end and become official members of Fairy Tales are at most only 10% of the total number of people standing here, and there may even be only one or two people. As for what will happen to those who are unqualified, I will Not much to say, anyway, everyone understands. So, you must know and remember that everyone around you is your potential competitor and an enemy who may rob you of your right to exist. What you will do next is. It means suppressing everyone around you, defeating them, and ravaging them. There is no limit to the means. The only prerequisite is to abide by the rules of the game, because only those who can stand in the end can live proudly... ... The following sentences are indeed just my personal suggestions. You can choose to listen, or you can choose not to listen. I will not punish you for this matter, but as your senior in the last term, you can stand alive. Here I think my opinions are of great reference value.”
Before this, even from countless stories, Gron had never heard such explicit instructions to encourage apprentices to kill each other and suppress their opponents. This is not like training new circus acrobats. This is simply not the case. In the most cruel and bloody way, he tried to train a unique perverted killer.
but... ...
Isn't this what Goron hopes to get
strength!
The purest power!
