The place where the fountain is located is surrounded by a barren grassland, giving it the unique sense of desolation of the Bone Burial Village. The grass slowly turned into withered yellow over the long years of the river, and the roots of the grass were stained with an unusual grayish white. At first, Du
Lan didn't notice anything unusual about this fountain, but when he tried to decipher the address [No. 6 and 3/4], he suddenly noticed something unusual.
Duran walked over. The water in the fountain was gray, with a thin layer of impurities floating on it. This impurity was like dust that had been collected for many years, making people feel disgusted. There was a statue standing in the center of the fountain - this is it.
The statue made Duran shift his attention to this place.
Whether on Earth or in the Feinan continent, fountains are very common buildings. There are often some statues standing in the pool, either by famous masters or rough works of some clumsy craftsmen. However,
In any case, these statues were of men or women, gods or mortals, and there were many types of statues - but Duran had never seen a fountain with a central statue of a clown!
That’s right, he’s a clown!
Before being shrouded in mist, Duran hadn't looked carefully, but now he was closer, and the scene in the fountain was unobstructed. The gray-white statue with a false smile, and the clown's unique costume seemed to Duran at this time.
It was so dazzling. If this fountain stood here by chance and had nothing to do with the Circus of Despair, Duran would not believe it.
Duran walked around the fountain. The clown was not tall, just a head shorter than the skinny Duran. His nose was round and he leaned forward in an inviting posture, matching his expression and
The clothes looked funny and ridiculous. Duran didn't feel any danger from them, but there was always a strange feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain.
"No matter what, we have to find the entrance to the circus first. Otherwise we will miss the time and we don't know what changes will happen to the mission. It's a pity that we are too poor, otherwise it would be good to know the information about the mission target in advance." Dulan sighed in his heart.
Money can stump a hero, but now I don't even understand the mission objective, and I don't even know who the enemy is, so I come here and blindly search for it in confusion. I don't know how much the risk factor will increase.
He took the circus invitation out of the Little Devil's Tail and spread it out to read under the moonlight. Who knew that as soon as he opened the invitation, the statue in front of him suddenly made a creaking sound.
Dulan was suddenly startled. The objects in his hands were switched very quickly, and the invitation immediately turned into an oak thorn.
However, the expected attack did not come. The clown statue moved strangely, making a crunching sound. After a while, the clown's head actually shook, and a smile appeared on the face of the stone sculpture: "Good evening, sir, I am Sang.
Hello, welcome to the Circus of Despair."
"Even stone statues can talk!?" Dulan was horrified, but his face didn't show much emotion. Maybe it was just a sound transmission magic?
He calmed down. The clown speaking in front of him was completely like a real person. The hypothesis of sound transmission magic was actually unreliable, but he could only comfort himself in this way. After all, except for the gargoyles of the dwarfs and Misa
Apart from the human golem, Duran doesn't know that there are other statues in the world that can speak!
"Excuse me, your name?" The clown still looked at Duran with a smile. The unknown malice hidden under this smile that he knew was fake made it difficult to deal with it calmly. Dulan only felt a chill rising from his back.
The Joker's accent is very standard in the ancient Yujin language.
He could only try his best to answer: "Dulan, my name is Duran, hello Sonny." Before he understood everything, Duran would not rashly attack others.
Sonny continued with a fake smile: "Mr. Duran, you are very welcome, very welcome!" The clown said the word "very" very hard. This guy was sinister, just like the proprietress of a black shop greeting fat sheep who don't understand the market.
Dulan has already classified Sonny the Clown as one of the most dangerous characters in his heart. No matter what happens next, he must be on guard against this guy.
"Mr. Duran, the performance is about to start. If you delay any longer, the protagonists on the stage tonight will be angry." The clown still reminded respectfully.
Duran asked: "How do I get into the circus?"
A strange smile appeared on the clown's stone-carved face: "Oh, so it's your first time to watch our performance... This is very easy, please push away the dust on the water."
Dulan frowned. The water in the fountain was obviously very dirty, and he still asked himself to reach out to push it away? But looking at the clown's expression, it seemed that he didn't mean to tease him, so he stretched out his left hand and carefully scratched the surface of the water.
Gray impurities.
A surprising scene happened. After removing the impurities, the water in the fountain was unusually clean. Dulan couldn't help but widen his eyes. The water was like a mirror, and a large number of people appeared in the mirror. Through the twists and turns of the water,
Either stretched or compressed, in short it looks very crowded with people.
Before Duran could see clearly where they were, Sonny the clown said eagerly: "The performance is about to start, you'd better go in quickly!"
After saying that, Du Lan felt a strong force coming back from behind, and he couldn't help but be pushed into the pool!
"Your sister!" Dulan didn't even have time to curse angrily, as his whole body seemed to have penetrated a thin layer of water curtain. First his body felt light, and the next second, the noise of a sea of people could be heard in his ears.
The expected loss of balance did not occur, and Duran's feet actually stepped on the ground. He opened his eyes and found that the place he was in was actually an extremely lively place - hundreds of human beings.
Walking back and forth beside him, a child biting a candy ran quickly and accidentally bumped into Duran's knee.
"Here, what is going on?" Dulan was a little confused. The crowd in front of him formed many lines and was slowly entering a building. At this time, Dulan looked up in shock and saw this theater-like building.
There is a huge billboard hanging on the building - [Circus of Despair].
"This is the circus? What kind of inexplicable mission is this? Are all these people my mission targets?" Dulan couldn't help but muttered. The scene in front of him was too shocking. Ever since he entered the evil
I have never seen such a lively place since I came here!
Lights were lit outside the theater, and under the swaying light, Duran saw that all the people had long or short shadows. Their appearance was no different from ordinary humans. They gathered in groups of three or five, waiting in line.
Sometimes they talk to each other. Some are talking about the poor harvest in this year's vineyards, some are talking about hunting, some are talking about women whose parents have troubles, and some are adult men who secretly exchange affairs and other romantic affairs - these people gather in Duran
They seemed to regard Duran as a member of this group and were not shocked at all by his sudden appearance.
"Hey, boy, why are you still standing there? If there is an invitation, hurry up and enter! The performance is about to begin." A middle-aged man in simple clothes suddenly greeted Duran. After saying this, he
He turned around and left, handed the invitation in his hand to someone and entered the theater.
All this seemed to be happening in reality, as if the middle-aged man was just a nosy man who saw Dulan in a daze and scolded him casually - but the strange feeling in Dulan's heart reminded him not to be careless.
, maybe it’s an illusion?
"You can't get caught..." Du Lan looked around for a while and clasped his right hand on the platycodon flower badge on his chest. But unlike before, this time there was no cold energy coming from the platycodon flower badge.
Is it not an illusion? Is all this real? Duran is a little unbelievable.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the clock hanging at the theater entrance pointing to 19:28.
The performance is about to begin.
Dulan didn't have time to hesitate. He rushed forward in a few steps, said sorry, pushed past the two people dressed as farmers who were queuing in front, and then handed the invitation to the person standing at the entrance.
At this moment, the man suddenly raised his head and showed a familiar smile: "Mr. Duran, your invitation is fine. Please take your seat as soon as possible. The performance will begin immediately!"
In an instant, Duran stood on his head with hair all over his body, and an unspeakable sense of crisis emerged - the person in front of him was the clown statue that Duran had talked to in the fountain before!
"Sonny, tell me, what is going on here?" Duran couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The clown smiled slightly, but before he could speak, many people behind Dulan started shouting: "Hurry up, kid, don't block the entrance!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! We want to watch the show!"
"How could you jump in line? This behavior is so bad!"
…
Sounds of reprimands came from behind Dulan, and two farmers gave him a hard push. He could only dive into the theater depressedly.
Following the crowd through the two curtains, they arrived at a wide internal space. At this time, the sky above the theater was brightly lit, and countless candles were hung on the lamps, illuminating the wide venue as if it were daytime.
The curtain was tightly closed on the wide stage, and the performance had obviously not started yet. Dulan followed the number on his invitation letter and sat in the thirteenth row. At this time, the auditorium was already filled with many people. Dulan
Lan sat down uneasily.
At the same time, more people were pouring in from the entrance.
"What on earth is going on in this circus?" Dulan felt deeply uneasy. This time he couldn't even figure out his opponent, and he always felt like he was being peeped on.
At this moment, his eyelids twitched suddenly, and he saw a rickety figure in his peripheral vision.
His eyes widened to the extreme. The person sitting on the left two rows in front was actually——
