The entire sky was shrouded in dark clouds. It was obviously noon, but the sunlight could not penetrate the layers of clouds that could not be seen at the end. It made the entire unclean clouds appear desolate and almost dead.
The land below is an uneven, seemingly uninhabited wilderness. But every time the breeze blows, the soil on the ground trembles slightly, revealing bits and pieces of shining stars, blinking into the distance.
There are colorful and fluffy tents everywhere.
The fluffy tents were extremely exaggerated in color, with strings of shining brilliance hanging on the colorful background, which were setting off the words printed in Western Continental on the tents.
"The Circus of Cozenin".
This is a circus that travels around various countries to perform performances, and the content of the performances is generally the same as those traditionally known. Between the tents, various exotic animals are led around by circus personnel;
Many actors wore colorful and heavy makeup and combed fluffy wigs on their foreheads.
"Captain Colin, we have almost finished packing. We can proceed to Bryant City."
At the entrance of the circus, an employee dressed as a clown said this to a middle-aged man with a big belly holding a cup of coffee in front of him. The man's hair was fluffy and messy, his beard had not been combed for a long time, and his belly was full of fat that could not be covered by the suit.
The men's suits were as ugly as iron barrels.
"Ah... Now that we've packed it up, let's get ready... Well, if the buyer doesn't come, we'll leave tonight."
"Okay, go tell them now."
The clown ran back between the tents, and the man named "Colin" rubbed his nose. The wind in the Brian wilderness was like a knife, cold and hard, even for people like them who travel between countries all year round.
It's almost unbearable.
It is the most prosperous Saint-Nali and the most suitable place for people to live.
The middle-aged man was drinking coffee and thinking so.
There is the most complete education system and medical system there, and the glory of human civilization exists in every stone brick in the town there. People like them who are wandering around will be infected by such a comfortable and beautiful atmosphere just by entering the city, and they want to kneel down.
Kiss the impossibly clean floor tiles.
Instead of doing business here, the buyer has given up and has been reluctant to come.
Colin glanced at the eyes that were dotted with stars under the surrounding soil, but in the next moment, all those little elves-like creatures shrank back into the ground.
His pupils shrank slightly, and he seemed to be looking into the distance of the boundless wilderness. The sound of horse hooves intensified like thunder, shattering the tranquility of the field. On the roadless field, there was a small black dot.
Accompanied by those horse hooves, they were approaching the circus.
"come yet..."
Colin was fat... well, he raised his chin slightly, drank the last bit of coffee in the cup, turned around and handed the cup to the circus performer, rubbed his hands, straightened out his extremely fat appearance, and then took the
Standing at the entrance of the circus with a polite smile, waiting for the arrival of guests from afar.
Two black horses pulled the carriage behind them, approaching the circus at extremely fast speeds. When he got closer, Colin saw the man sitting in front of the carriage, pulling the reins.
The man was wearing an elegant and well-fitting Saint-Germain suit, with white gloves on his hands gently holding the reins. Under the black gentleman's hat, he had a young, handsome and masculine appearance, but his expression without warmth made him farther away.
, coated with a layer of coldness.
"hiss!"
As the distance got closer, the man seemed to pull the reins lightly, but the two black horses in front seemed to be blocked by a huge force. They roared and raised their heads slightly, pausing their hot hooves not far from the circus, panting.
Stopped roughly.
Colin hurriedly woke up from the stagnation of sizing up the man's appearance just now. He secretly thought something bad in his heart, but put a kind smile on his face and walked in the direction of the carriage with his hands down.
"We are coming from afar, and welcome to the Kexining Circus. I am the leader of this circus. Hello, Colin, hello..."
The man took off a walking stick from his side, got out of the carriage from the side, and dropped his leather shoes on the soil of Brian's wilderness, stepping down into the ground the little land elves who were curiously looking at the situation above.
.The soil below jumped a few times, arching up a small wave and moving towards the distance. It must have been those little elves who ran away.
The man's expression was very indifferent, he took off the hat on his head and said to Colin,
"Hello, Captain Colin, I'm Fisher, I'm here to complete the order I made before."
Colin looked at the man in front of him, his brows twitched, and then he rubbed his hands and said with a hesitant smile,
"Well... I remember that it was Aoun from Philon City who completed the deal with me. He was not a decent gentleman like you... Or, you just came here to watch our performance. That's a pity.
We can wait until Bryan City...oh!"
Before Colin finished speaking, Fisher in front of him tapped his cane lightly, smiled slightly, and then emphasized,
"It's an order, not a performance, Mr. Colin."
"...Well, um, we have principles. In principle, since the order has been confirmed, then we..."
"in principle?"
Fisher, who was dressed in black, tapped the side of the carriage with his cane. A small secret door opened in response, and a bag smelling of blood rolled out. According to the length, it was just equal to an adult man, but it was not.
I know if it can accommodate a fat person like Colin.
As it rolled, the bag just landed at Colin's feet. The mouth of the bag opened slightly, revealing the face of a man full of fishy smell and fear in the bag. Who else could it be if it wasn't Ornn, the original buyer.
Colin hurriedly closed his fat mouth tightly, fearing that the smell of the blood below would flow into his body and contaminate his body. He moved his eyes tremblingly, and saw the gentleman man holding the cane backwards, and doing the same thing again.
A jingling bag was pulled out from the secret door, but this time it was all filled with Saint-Nali gold coins.
This amount is more than the gold coins agreed upon in the original transaction.
"Ah...ah! That's right! Principle!" Colin swallowed, clapped his hands suddenly, and said righteously, "The most important thing in our line of work is principle. Since we have made an appointment,
If you make a deal with Mr. Fisher, of course you won't give the deal to anyone else... Hahaha...haha, don't you think so?"
"Mr. Colin is a humorous man."
Fisher still held his cane and looked at the fat man in front of him with a smile. In his plain sight, Colin hesitated for a moment, took hold of the bag containing gold coins on the ground, opened it, and confirmed that everything was full.
After it was a genuine gold coin, he ignored Ornn who was still on the ground in a bag.
As he said, he is indeed a man with principles. This principle is measured by gold coins and the direction is his heart.
Fisher put on his hat, ignored his actions, and just spoke,
"Let me see the goods."
"No problem, no problem, Mr. Fisher, this way please..."
Colin put the large bag of gold coins into the inner pocket of his clothes, and his fat body was deformed by his forceful thrusting. But what was surprising was that under his seemingly laborious thrusting,
Next, a large bag of gold coins was actually stuffed into the inner pocket of his clothes, or to be more specific, the fat inside the pocket.
He seemed a little fatter and even burped.
"Which country's magic is this?"
Fisher asked with interest.
Noticing Fisher's gaze, he smiled awkwardly and explained,
"It's just a little magic trick, nothing compared to real magic..."
Fisher nodded and asked no more questions.
Even if it is real magic, it is probably a secret that is not passed down by this kind of person. There is no need to know the root cause, and it is not his goal. As long as he can successfully obtain this goal, Colin will have nothing to do with him.
"A guest has arrived, get ready to pick them up!!"
Colin, who was in front, suddenly shouted and patted his palms lightly.
As the voice fell, the tent behind him seemed to come alive, opening a mouth-like covering curtain, revealing many actors, steam engines and rare and exotic animals inside.
In it, a small elephant dances in the hands of the actor like a mouse. There are many ghosts whose real figures are not visible on the illusory steam train, squeaking and screaming. An actress takes a sharp breath and spits it out into the sky.
Infinite flames, and then, another figure emerged from the flames and landed on the ground.
"They are all rehearsing...especially the ghosts, who haven't sprinkled the powder yet, so they can't see clearly. Those things are too expensive, and they don't dare to use them even if it's not a formal performance."
Colin led Fisher inside while introducing Fisher to the signature show of their circus.
For the Lingdu train, the locomotive is made of a spirit body to imitate a real steam train at a large cost. The reduction technique uses magic to shrink huge creatures to match the performance. The fire spirit, the figure in the fire is the adult fire spirit, and
The earth spirits outside and below the ground are a type of creature.
Fisher's eyes fell on the dark purple coat of arms that lit up deep in the actors' clothes, and then he looked away as if nothing had happened.
As long as the slave seal is engraved with the seal, the life and death of the slave will be completely controlled by the owner of the seal. Therefore, all the staff of this circus are slaves.
The master is the fat man next to him, Captain Colin.
"These people are slaves."
"Ah, haha, you also know... well, it's a cost issue." Colin rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Ever since those parliamentarians passed the Schön Act, the hiring prices of workers in the city have been lower than before.
It’s not the same level anymore. You have to pay the epidemic prevention stamp fee when you enter the city... These are not a small amount of money for an honest businessman like me who runs a small business..."
He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the Schon Resolution on Human Rights passed by the Kingdom Parliament. His fat face shook slightly and he looked thoughtful, "What do you mean by that sentence? Those parliamentary guys are high-sounding guys who only suck blood."
, what God, let everyone enjoy a unified minimum wage standard..."
"'The remnant and the remnant of the descendants firmly promise God to allow working adults to receive the same minimum wage in accordance with this charter...'"
Fisher read out the original text of the resolution next to him, causing Colin to clap his hands violently.
"Yes, yes, that's it! Damn the council guy!"
The Charter protects all free and equal citizens of the Kingdom, regardless of age or sex...
Except, slaves and dirty demihumans.
"We're here, Mr. Fisher..."
Having reached the end of the circus, in front of a black tent, Colin rubbed his hands again and opened the curtain in front of Fisher.
Inside, in the dim tent, there was only a weak fluorescent lamp hanging in the center. Around it, in the layers of iron cages, sobbing and trembling shadows crawled in the dirty dirt mixed with excrement and food. Their bodies were in different places.
The dark purple slave emblem in the position lights up, slightly revealing the differences between the figures inside and normal people.
Fisher covered his mouth and nose. Seeing this, Colin bowed and said with a smile,
"Mr. Fisher, just wait outside. I'll ask someone to bring the goods out... As promised before, five dragon-like females, right?"
