Chapter Eighty-six: The Horseplay Begins

  "Yes, we did bring some magical creatures with us, but I can assure you that they have no intention or nature to harm people, so please don't worry."

  "Uh-huh, I've heard about their performance on the streets too. They're indeed well-behaved, but just in case, I'd better come and talk to Captain Saro. The lord of Raya Castle saw that Garo didn't like beating around the bush, so he cut straight to the point. "Two things: first, no matter what, those magical beasts are still magical beasts, so I don't want them performing in the castle. If they were to cause trouble, it would be a disaster."

  Ka Luo nodded "I understand, we will make preparations for the performance outside the city, is that okay?"

  "Hmm, okay. Secondly, I demand that you pay a fee. After all, your large-scale performances have to be taxed, don't they? I think it's not too much, just one-tenth of your income, how about it?"

  Garo raised two fingers "We can pay twenty percent, but I also have a small request."

  The lord of Laya City raised an eyebrow "Oh, let's hear it."

  "I hope you can help maintain some order, I don't think that's too much to ask. As a token of our sincerity, we can let the person you arrange sell our tickets, how about it?"

  Laya City Lord rubbed his face "Interesting, you want to pay two percent, aren't you afraid that your money will be in trouble later?"

  "Of course not, I have every confidence in our circus."

  "Haha, alright, it's settled then. I'll arrange for someone to talk to you later. I'm also looking forward to tonight's play." Lord Raya stood up, patted the table and woke up his son "Alright, we should get going."

  "Ah, yes..." Latin's face turned bright red as he stood up. Before leaving, he took another glance at Gallo, but unfortunately, from start to finish, Gallo didn't give him a second look.

  The captain also stood up and threw a few silver coins on the table before leaving.

  "Interesting lord." Garo stood up "A merchant's unique sense, no wonder this city has developed so well."

  After returning to the room, I told everyone about my plan and then took Luo and Bai out with me. Since we were starting at night, we still needed to make some preparations.

  "Hmm, this place is not bad, with the forest behind us, the wind isn't too strong, and it's also close to the city gate." After a search, Galo confirmed the location in front of him, and next was to set up the site.

  The appearance of a circus? It's simplest, just a huge tent is enough, and with Gallo, no materials are needed at all.

  Karo's hand rose, and spiritual energy directly covered the surface of the earth, then propped up a huge plant canopy.

  "Alright, that's it." Gallo nodded in satisfaction, waving his hand. This tent was quite large, and he estimated it could hold about five hundred people without any issues.

  As soon as they entered, it was indeed very spacious. Gala walked around everywhere and Bai Ke shook his head, "Alas, looking at her appearance, it seems like she really wants to take this so-called circus seriously."

  Lu walked up to Bai Ke, the two of them were among the first to get acquainted and also the first to start getting familiar. "Isn't this great? For us abandoned people, this feeling is pretty good too."

  "Yes, it's really good..." Bai Ke knew that Luo was right. These people were all abandoned by the world. They became death spirit masters because of the death of their loved ones, but instead of getting support from others, they became targets of pursuit. What was the result? They lost everything and faced only powerless sorrow.

  Raku, abandoned by his tribe and parents since childhood, had never felt any warmth, only endless darkness. Before Garo appeared, Raku had never thought that life could be so easy and carefree.

  "Luò."

  "Huh?"

  "We... will always follow Miss Jiāo, right." Bái Kě spoke softly, but this sentence was not a question, it was a statement.

  Lu nodded slightly but firmly, "Absolutely will, no matter who blocks me in front of me, whether it's a demon or a god." Lu looked at Galo in the distance, "The one who gave me sunshine in my life is her, the one who gave me strength is her, and the one who gave me hope is also her. No matter what happens in the future, I will always follow her footsteps."

  "What are you talking about?" Gallo ran back, Bai Ke shook his head "Nothing, Miss Saro, are you ready?"

  "That's about it, these positions should be enough." Galo was referring to the circle next to him. The tent inside used a similar layout, with one entrance and most of the space left in the middle for performances. On the side, under Galo's control, were rows of flat stones that served as seats. Fortunately, the weather wasn't cold, so there was no need to worry about anyone getting sick from sitting, and it was relatively warm inside the tent.

  When the preparations were completed, it was already late. When I returned to the inn, the sun had already set in the west. Just then, the person arranged by Lord Raya of the city also arrived.

  They pulled up a few more people, added Luo and set off. As for publicity work, it was naturally handled by the Lord of Laya City.

  The timing was at night, just after dinner, allowing people to slowly come over. Ordinary people's nightlife is quite dull, usually after dinner they would sit and chat as a family, then go to sleep when they got tired. Now suddenly there appeared such a special circus, even if adults didn't like it, the children would pull them over just to see the performances of those magical beasts.

  Garro brought together some classic circus performances from around the world, and it didn't take long for Bai Ke and others to accept them. Those novel ideas were completely exciting to Xiu La and others as soon as they were mentioned.

  The sky began to darken slightly, and people came in twos and threes. Such a novel thing naturally aroused the high interest of the city's residents, although the ticket was twenty silver coins, but for them it was not unacceptable.

  The children felt amused from the start, for at the gate appeared a person wearing white polka dots, with a pair of peculiar curved shoes, an interesting flower hat, and a comical makeup on his face.

  That's right, it's a clown costume. Garro took this approach and made the clothes, then let Baiko wear them. You ask why Baiko? It's simple, could Luo's body fit into it? Even if he wore it, would he look taller than a kid by one body length? And what about Shura? That proud guy with an extremely high sense of self-respect, would he obediently wear this costume?

  What? Others? ... Brother, can a female clown be seen?

  Interesting actions, elegant tone, regardless of men and women, old and young, all gave bursts of applause to this special role, at the same time, also mobilized everyone's emotions, becoming more and more interested in this so-called circus.

  Soon, nearly 90% of the people in the field were seated, and many more were still arriving. The presence of the city lord also attracted many nobles from the city. Galo nodded, it seemed that they could begin now.

  While everyone was praising this strange venue, suddenly the entire tent darkened and all sounds stopped immediately. It seemed that it was about to begin.

  A ray of light fell on the center of the field, and everyone looked up in confusion. It was shining down from a small round hole at the top of the tent. Under the light, a figure appeared.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our circus. Next, we will bring you a spectacular, unparalleled, and never-before-seen special performance."

  A brief opening, then Gallo went down, and with a loud roar that shook the sky, the light shone again.

  "Ah!" Everyone involuntarily exclaimed, in the middle of the venue, five large wooden stumps had been placed there at some point, and on top of them were three fierce lions and two blood tigers, either crouching or sitting, with one lying asleep on top!

  A girl with a lithe figure walked slowly to the center of the venue, her beautiful tight-fitting dress outlining her lovely physique. However, not many people were concerned about this person now. This girl was, of course, Kerna.

  With a gentle bow to the surroundings, Kerna turned around, raised her right hand, and everyone saw that in her hand was a long black leather whip.

  Kerena still felt a little nervous in her heart, after all, Gallo had arranged himself to perform first, and she had never been in front of so many people before, her hands were trembling slightly at this moment.

  He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, they were filled with a firm gaze.

  With a flick of his right hand, there was a loud crackling sound that echoed through the entire silent venue. Along with this whip-like sound, the five giant beasts seemed to wake up and started moving, propping themselves up with their front paws and sitting up.

  A moment of silence, but immediately everyone exclaimed, Oh my god! A simple action, and five ferocious monsters simultaneously made the same movement. This... is too unbelievable!

  Just as people's surprise had not ended, Kerna swung her hand again, and another crisp sound was heard. At the same time, Kerna's hand swung upwards, and the whip instantly became a straight line. At the same time, all the magical beasts reflected back together, making an action in unison.

  Upper body straightened up, relying on the strength of both legs, all half stood up at the same time, and both front paws were raised and retracted to the chest, and they also presented a concentrated direction!

  The positions of the five magical beasts are arranged in such a way that there is a mad lion in the middle, with two blood tigers on either side, and next to the blood tigers are two more mad lions. Now it looks like the other four are leaning against the central mad lion at an angle.

  A moment of silence, followed by thunderous applause, everyone was excited, cheering and clapping non-stop!

  "Hey, how could this circus program fail? Next, you'll slowly enter the fantasy country."
