Parallel Armies——The Sound of Turning Tide Chapter 43 Long-lost Reunion
"Thank you for the hospitality. I just don't know what kind of magic pig meat you used. Do you know the specific type?" Karin asked.
"I don't know much about the magic pig, but I also used the Swift Rabbit. It is said that it can run very fast and is as big as a puppy." Sophia knew that this kind of magic beast is harmless, but excessive breeding may cause the grassland to become barren. Generally,
It is the food of medium-sized predators such as weasels. However, ordinary swift rabbits are not that big, just a little larger than ordinary rabbits.
"If the number of this kind of monster is not controlled, it will cause trouble due to the overpopulation. But since it can be bred, it should be controllable. And from what the boss said, the bred ones seem to be larger than the wild ones.
." Sophia looked at the sky and thought it would be nice if the clock in the space device could turn its hands. It's about seven o'clock in the morning now.
"Then it's almost time for us to go back? Or do we have any plans for today?" Karin asked.
"If possible, buy some musical instruments, such as a drum or a lute." Zate thought for a while and said.
"By the way, boss, do you know about the circus in the city?" Sophia nodded and asked.
"Traveling circus? My boy often goes to see it. They are only here every spring and perform elsewhere at other times."
"It just so happens that they are still performing here right now, right?"
"Well, there are performances these days." The boss said the exact address.
"When is the show time?" Although Sofia felt it was not a good question to ask, it was actually quite normal.
"It seems to start at two o'clock in the afternoon and end at five o'clock in the afternoon." The boss handed the newly baked shortbread to other customers.
"Okay, thank you boss." Sophia nodded.
"By the way, boss, you must have lived here for a long time, right? Is there any place that sells jewelry here? I looked for it for a long time yesterday but couldn't find it." Carlin used an understatement, lowered his voice subtly, and asked
the boss asked.
The boss shook his head, "Only nobles can afford to wear jewelry." He packed up the spoons and plates and entered the store. Zate, who was paying attention to the surroundings, saw Dinefel wandering over. She waved and greeted in a low voice, asking Dinefel to
You come over here.
[Is it a restricted item, or should I really not ask too deeply...] Carlin thought to himself.
Zate and Sophia were on the inside, so Dinefel followed directly and sat next to Karin.
"Morning, have you finished eating? We're almost done here." Carlin said hello to Dinefel, packed his things and was ready to leave at any time. After eating two-thirds of the big meatball, he was completely full.
"Well, I just ate a little. What are your plans next?" Dynefil asked. Although he didn't want to come out and attract attention, after thinking about it, he still chose to act with Sophia and the others.
"I'm not sure. Should we go to the city gate and have a look? It's not far from here." Carlin was very concerned about the Pope's previous words.
"I'm fine." Zate nodded, not knowing what he was talking about. He probably meant that we would act together.
"Of course, there is a high probability that the circus will meet that acquaintance, so there is no conflict." Carlin added.
"Okay, I don't care, just listen to Karin." Sofia thought this was quite appropriate.
"Then let's go." Dinefel used his spiritual power to control the imitation human skin and get up.
"Let's go find the circus first. It might be easier to find people while it's not open." Carlin also stood up and said.
The two women said "Hmm" and the four of them asked passers-by along the way and headed towards the circus.
After walking through several dead ends, they asked for more detailed addresses before they found the location of the circus. The circus has a main entrance where you can buy tickets, and a back entrance where carriages are unloaded and circus members enter.
Since he was looking for someone, he must have gone directly to the back door. Carlin walked into the alley first and went around.
The three of them followed. The big iron door behind the circus was open. Inside was a little silver-haired girl about eight years old who was helping a middle-aged man about forty years old. He followed the girl's instructions to unload the circus.
The equipment parts needed for the group's performance were moved out.
Karin keenly noticed that the silver-haired little girl's clothing was slightly different compared to other civilians. The clothes were made of better materials and had unnecessary decorations, but the clothes were very decent, well-fitting, and extremely easy to move around.
Before Carlin opened his mouth to stop them, Sofia noticed that the girl glanced at Sofia secretly. She inexplicably felt the surprise, relief, and worry in that look. But she quickly withdrew her gaze and continued her work.
The work made the girl feel that this was her illusion.
As for others, they just felt that the girl's peeking glances were like those of a child, and they were naturally curious.
"Hello? Is there a Mr. Brandon here?" Carlin shouted to the little girl and middle-aged man in the courtyard from a distance, hoping to attract her attention.
Feeling strange, Sophia naturally looked at the little girl. The little girl looked at a few people, and then shook her head.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything, and Sofia thought it was acquiescence, so the girl walked in and approached the little girl, squatted down and looked at her levelly and asked: "Little sister, what is your name? Are you a member of this circus?"
"My name is Nicole. I'm just helping my brother. This is the backyard of the circus. Big sister, it's not good for you to come in without permission." The silver-haired loli said calmly with no expression on her face.
"Ah, we didn't consider this well, sorry. But who is your brother?" Sophia tentatively gave a brief description of Brandon's appearance, and secretly paid attention to her reaction.
[Could the feeling just now be an illusion?] This series of encounters made Sophia feel that her group was following a certain script.
"To come in without saying a word and still have so many questions, it's really hard for today's young people." The middle-aged man muttered and then raised his voice, "We don't have an employee named Brandon here."
The little girl tilted her head, thought for a moment and then said: "Sister, help me read the list to Uncle Mario, and then buy me an iced dessert, and I will tell you."
"Um, sir, we did come to visit abruptly. I'm sorry for not knocking on your door first. Why don't we just do what the little girl said and express our apology?" Carlin stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Hmm... Okay, sister promises you, but where can I buy the dessert you mentioned? Sister will buy it for you later. Sister also likes desserts." Sophia opened her palm, palm up, to signal the little girl.
Make the list to yourself.
"Uncle Mario, then I'm going to find my brother." The middle-aged man smacked his lips and glanced at a few people, then continued working without saying anything, as if he had acquiesced.
"Nicole, please be safe." After repeating the address of the dessert shop, Sofia said goodbye to the little girl and took the list and read it out to the middle-aged man... and was scolded for reading too fast.
Seeing this, Carlin followed the address to find a nearby dessert shop.
Just as Carlin came back, from the small door where Nicole walked in, Brandon, who was still as thin as when he said goodbye, came out wearing coarse clothes. He frowned and looked at Sophia and asked: "Why did you come to me?
Where is Alexander?”
Brandon looked at the others, and when it was his turn to look at Dinefel, his brows furrowed even more tightly, but he didn't say anything. He probably learned about Dinefel through the holy warrior's unique divine perception.
It's a creature of darkness.
"Long time no see, Brandon. The Alexander soldiers and I split up. She went to track down the whereabouts of the former bishop Ronan who had apostatized. On the other hand, I took the new members to escort and deliver messages, and came to support
You. That is our new team member, Karin Thaddeus, who is the supporter of the Severn family here, Dinefir Severn." Sofia pointed at the two people and said: "The last one is
It’s the client this time, Ms. Zate... Miss Zate.”
"Here, Nicole, this is the dessert I promised you. Thank you for your help." Nicole also came out, so Carlin walked a few steps and handed the dessert over. "Hello." Carlin did not forget to say goodbye to Bu.
Landong said hello.
Zate nervously said hello, and Dinefel just nodded in greeting.
"Is it convenient to talk here, Brandon?" Sophia asked.
"Bishop Ronan, it's such a nostalgic term. I didn't expect that he actually fell." Brandon turned around and said something. "I can't trust the partners around you yet. Come with me alone."
Karin walked a few steps closer to Sophia, told her the details of the little girl's clothing, and then stopped following her.
"Well, Carlin, please stay around here for now. I'll come back to you later." After Sofia told her to follow Brandon, the girl clearly felt that Brandong had changed a lot and was no longer so enthusiastic, but he was still the same.
Responsible and more mature.
[It seems that Brandon has also experienced a lot. I wonder what his current situation is like.] Sophia was thinking as she followed Brandon and walked into the building.
The two walked to a utility room, where there were many empty boxes. Brandon pointed at it casually. "Sit down, there are many you want to talk about in detail." Although Brandon did not sit down, but from the previous honorific
"You" became you, and this title made Sophia feel warm.
"Indeed," Sofia sat on the empty box opposite Brandon and briefly explained the situation of her group. "After leaving Lamesa, Alexander, Fagni and I then found other companions to adventure together.
And then we met the evil spellcaster Alexander had been pursuing in the Haven Province. Through him, we learned that you were in Nevis and encountered an unknown situation. Then we exiled the demon in the Great Rift Valley in the Haven Province.
, we will divide our troops into two groups, one to pursue the former Bishop Ronan and the other to support you."
"During this period, Alexander and I contacted each other through the emblem from time to time. The situation on her side was pretty good. But on my side, I had some contact with the Severn family and learned that you had appeared here, as well as the current relationship between this city and
I have information about the Vampire Clan, so I came here."
"Brandon, to be honest, what is the situation in this city now? I feel that there are already several forces competing with each other here." Sophia sighed.
