A dry and hoarse voice came from the shadow of the tent.
Turning towards the source of the sound, the monk saw a thin man wearing a tuxedo black dress walking towards him.
The upper part of his face was covered by a mask, and the lower part was pale and bloodless.
Behind the masked man, a pair of beautiful girls who looked exactly the same raised a huge parasol with tassels to block all the light around them.
Taking a small step back, Todd looked at the person who spoke warily: "Who are you?"
The man bent his upper body slightly, held his right chest with his left hand, and saluted: "Please forgive me for being rude. I am the leader of this little circus. I just heard your partner saying, go find him."
Where is the Black Sheep?”
Taking another half step back, the boy's doubts grew. He held up a parasol in the middle of the night and called himself the circus leader. How kindly did he want to guide him?
In my previous life, I looked like those scammers selling fake medicines on the roadside.
The other party's wary behavior made the man spread his hands in embarrassment, then turned sideways, pointed to the largest tent in the center of the circus and said, "The 'black sheep' you are looking for is right there."
Watching the two monks walking further and further away, the man took out a finely crafted silver file from his arms, sharpened his nails carefully, and murmured to himself: "The Holy Son blessed by the Holy Father..."
It may not be clear from a distance, but when he got closer, Todd realized how big the tent located in the center of the circus was. Compared with other tents used for performances, it was like a dwarf standing next to a giant.
The admission ticket actually costs ten bronze stars, which is several times the price of other tents. However, there is still an endless stream of spectators here, and the joy and expectation on everyone's face makes it look like they are really serious.
I don't care about the price.
Are the performances here so exciting?
With such questions, Todd took little Jerry into the tent.
Choosing a hidden position near the corner, the boy looked around and observed everything around him. The layout inside was somewhat similar to the circus tent in his previous life, but the facilities were simpler. The seats were just temporary wooden platforms and the fences were not much.
It is a haystack made of cheap materials. The only thing that people care about is the height of the tent. A rough estimate is that it is almost more than twenty meters.
As the audience took their seats, the firelight in the tent slowly dimmed, and the curtain at the door was slowly lowered.
To Todd's surprise, in the darkness, the familiar hoarse voice sounded again: "We firmly believe that with the advent of the gospel, a great moment is coming. The holy virgin holds the lamp, and the merciful Savior comes to the world!"
One torch after another was lit in the air, illuminating the space above the head like daylight.
As the light fell, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old appeared on the ten-meter high platform.
Because she was too far away, her appearance could not be seen clearly. Her long black hair, which was rare in the Middle Ages, was tied into a twist and fluttered in the wind; her black and white lace-up tights showed off her slender figure; the sequins on her clothes
The pendant and pendant reflect the firelight, gorgeous but not kitsch; the snow-white and small feet stand intersecting.
"Black sheep! Black sheep!"
The audience cheered like a tsunami, and many men stood up and rushed to the fence, shouting praises into the air.
Todd shrank back and looked up at the girl in the air.
It must be my imagination... The other party seemed to be looking at my position intently, and even winked mischievously.
Intense drumming sounded from deep inside the tent.
The girl known as the Black Sheep untied the slipknot of a rope hanging from a high place, grabbed the wooden stick tied tightly at one end of the rope, and jumped off the ten-meter high platform.
Looking at the graceful figure gliding through the air, Todd suddenly realized, and a famous acrobatic show from his previous life appeared in his mind.
"Trapeze".
The rope swung from one end of the tent to the middle.
When his strength was exhausted, Black Sheep let go of the wooden stick and used the remaining momentum to fly forward. His graceful body first somersaulted in the air, then stretched out his body with his back down and face up. After a brief moment of suspension in the air,
The body began to fall.
At this time, another rope tied with wooden sticks swung toward the middle in the darkness.
However, the wooden stick was almost five meters away from the black sheep's hand!
The girl's body began to fall quickly to the ground, and the wooden stick became farther and farther away from her.
Todd was so frightened by this scene that he stood up straight and unconsciously shouted: "Be careful!"
Black Sheep's fingers moved.
The next second, the girl's body disappeared in the darkness.
Todd thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes. The falling body was really gone!
Huge cheers came from the audience, and the boy looked up. At some point, the black sheep grabbed the distant wooden stick above his head, swung to the other end of the tent, bounced his body, and landed on his feet.
On the high platform at the other end.
The shocked monk sat back in his seat, still replaying the scene just now in his mind.
Next, as the knot swayed left and right, the figure of the black sheep appeared and disappeared in the air. Sometimes it suddenly appeared in the sky while falling, and sometimes it teleported to the right while somersaulting to the left.
Todd looked at the performance above his head and touched the bridge of his nose with his hand, lost in thought. There is no doubt that Black Sheep is a member of the alien species, but this alien ability similar to "flash" is really too weird.
Judging from the interaction with the object, it should not be a phantom or afterimage, but a real instantaneous movement.
The acrobatic girl's performance gradually came to an end, swinging and flashing again and again, and her body reached the top of the tent.
The slender legs were wrapped around the lower end of the winch. The black sheep hanging upside down looked at the audience who were as big as bugs below him. He put a smile on his lips, relaxed his body, and headed straight down from a height of 20 meters.
It fell straight down.
The girl falling in the air disappeared again after a few seconds.
A small stone hit the wooden board next to Todd, and a faint fragrance floated into his nose. When he turned around to look, the girl was like an angel falling from the sky, landing next to the monk.
She gently lifted Todd's hood.
The boy was finally able to see her face up close, with black hair, black eyes, and light gray eye circles. The beauty's face was painted with thick paint, and the corners of half of her face were painted red, and curved upwards to create a faint outline.
A smile; half of the face was painted with a teardrop in white lead, which was so vivid that it suppressed a sadness.
Black Sheep looked at the messy hair on the other side's head, stretched out his white and tender hands, and kept stroking it with a smile as bright as a flower.
