Chapter 23 (1/2)

”Friends from afar, are you lost?”

A shriveled and hoarse voice came from the shadow of the tent.

Turning to the source of the sound, the monk saw a thin man in a black tuxedo walking towards him.

The upper part of his face was covered by the mask, and the lower part was pale without any blood.

Behind the mask man as like as two peas, the beautiful girl with a similar appearance, together raised a huge umbrella with a fringed, covering all the light around him.

Taking a small step back, Todd looked warily at the speaker: ”are you?”

The man bent his upper body slightly, pressed his left hand on his right chest and saluted: ”please forgive my impoliteness. I am the head of this small circus. I just heard your partner say, ”go and find the black sheep?”

He took another half step back. The boy's doubts grew stronger and stronger. He played an umbrella in the middle of the night, claimed to be the head of the circus, and was kind enough to show himself the way?

In previous lives, they look like liars selling fake drugs on the roadside.

The other party's wary behavior embarrassed the man, then turned his side, pointed to the largest tent in the center of the circus and said, ”the black sheep you're looking for is right there.”

Looking at the monks walking farther and farther, the man took out a silver file with exquisite workmanship from his arms, carefully polished his nails, and muttered to himself: ”the son blessed by the Holy Father...”

It may not be clear from a distance. When he got closer, Todd realized how big the tent in the middle of the circus was. Compared with other tents used for performance, it is like a dwarf standing next to a giant.

Admission tickets actually cost ten copper stars, which is several times the price of other tents. But there is still an endless stream of audience here. The joy and expectation on each face makes people seem that they really don't care about the price.

Is the performance here so wonderful?

With this doubt, Todd took little Jerry into the tent.

He chose a hidden position near the corner of the wall. The boy looked around and observed everything around him. The layout inside is somewhat similar to that of the circus tent in previous generations, but the facilities should be more primitive. The seats are only temporary wooden platforms, and the fence is just a haystack with cheap materials. The only thing that people care about is the height of the tent. Roughly, it's more than 20 meters.

With the audience seated, the fire in the tent slowly darkened, and the curtain at the door was slowly put down.

To Todd's surprise, the familiar hoarse voice sounded again in the darkness: ”we are convinced that the gospel is coming and the great moment is coming. The Holy Virgin holds a lamp, and the merciful savior comes to the world! ”

One torch after another is lit in the air, illuminating the space above your head like day.

With the advent of light, a 13-year-old girl appeared on the 10 meter high platform.

Because she was too far away, she couldn't see her face clearly. A long black hair, rarely seen in the middle ages, tied into a twist and fluttered in the wind; Black and white lace up tights show a slender figure; The sequins and pendants on the clothes reflect the light of fire, gorgeous but not vulgar; Snow white and small feet stand together.

”Black sheep! Black sheep! ”

The audience under the stage roared like the sea. Many men stood up and rushed to the fence and read praise loudly to the air.

Todd shrunk back and looked up at the girl in the air.

It should be his own illusion... The other party seems to be staring at his position and blinking mischievously.
