Chapter 464 (1/2)
The troupe, called Cutler, is now on its way to sukville province to take part in a troupe competition in the Principality of Everland.
Avellan is a small principality in the southwest of Huolian. As a spice producing country, it is much richer than other countries of the same size. However, due to its remote location, the invasion of the orcs has not affected this small principality.
The Grand Duke of this term was very fond of performing troupes composed of juggling, singing and dancing, and some messy programs, so he set up a high prize to hold such activities.
Performing troupes, which are somewhat similar to the ancient opera troupes of the Chinese dynasty, generally lead a relatively poor life. It was obvious how attractive the hundred gold coins were to them.
According to the driver, it seems that all the troupes in the northern part of the eastern plain are now moving towards the province of sukvia.
”It's true that it was not long before the beasts retreated that they made such a costly move.”
Sophia frowned, tried to nibble at the wheat cake mixed with the husks, then said discontentedly, covering her cheek.
In the end, the owner of Cutler's troupe agreed to give them a ride. However, because the front several Raptor carts were full of people, they were only wronged. They were huddled in the fourth carriage of performance equipment.
The wheat cake is the dry food that the carlette troupe gave to SIVI after he paid a little fare for the car. At the same time, it also sent wheat wine mixed with water.
”Madam, you are not right.”
The driver of the car was very young, probably not much older than Sylvie, and he didn't drive as skillfully as his predecessors, still shivering in the cold wind.
But like many taxi drivers, he is surprisingly talkative.
”It's because the invasion of the orcs left a wound. Physical trauma can be healed with time and medicine, but not psychologically. That's why we performing troupes need to use juggling and acting to heal their psychological trauma, don't we? ” His cheerful voice came from outside the carriage: ”and I heard that the competition held by the Duke is open to the common people for free. It can make people laugh. This is the unique mission of our performing arts troupe that even the master magician can't do.”
”That's it. All things in this world exist for a reason Although those reasons are not necessarily correct. ”
”It's not like sitting at home reading a book,” SIVI said to Sophia, as he chewed on his cereal. That's why I've always said that traveling is the best way to exercise. There is an old saying in my hometown. ”It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.”
”That's good. Where is the hometown of the little brother of the Bard? Maybe I've been with a group The driver's voice outside the carriage sounded in a good mood.
”My hometown is so far away.”
Sylvie laughs and doesn't give a positive answer.
”Well, I'll admit it's a bit biased.”
Sophia, as if nothing had happened, had missed a small piece of the wheat cake, sighed, and confessed quite frankly that she had made a mistake.
