Whispering Poems

Chapter 1812 Acquaintances in the Circus (seeking tickets)

No one spoke to Xia De, so Xia De walked around among the caravans by himself.Almost everyone was doing their own thing, it was normal here, very normal, but it was because of this normality that Xia De felt something was wrong.

He pretended to be interested in the souvenirs sold by the circus, and stopped in front of the booth.Most of the souvenirs they peddled were cheap items bought from the local area when the circus was traveling around the Old Continent, and then sold at a higher price in the next city. Shad even saw the anchor pendant of Coldwater Port, the Maple leaf bookmarks, empty Huntington wine bottles with labels from famous wineries, ugly stone ornaments from Randall Valley.

He originally wondered whether it was the relics that were accidentally collected by the circus, which caused some undetectable events to happen, but soon he was attracted by the booth selling various Rhodes cards.

Not only are ordinary playing card sets peddled here, but wooden card cases sold by chapters of the Society of Seers throughout the Old World.Since the case shapes and engraved badges vary from club to club, there are indeed collectors who like this stuff.

In addition to ordinary decks and card boxes, there are even more than a dozen Rhodes cards with special cards on the booth.Although the price of these Rhodes cards is not as expensive as the special rule cards, it is still something worth showing off among the players.

Xia De stopped to check. He hadn't planned to buy anything, but was attracted by a card that said "the cat looks up under the tree".

That was Moon 10, the same suit as the "Initiation·Space" that Shade was looking for.But even if he finds "Genesis·Space" in the future, he can still stuff this cat card into the backup deck.

"Pet Series De La Rion Desert Cat."

Xia De said the name of this card, and the man behind the booth said with a smile:

"Yes, why, do you want to buy it? This number is enough."

He stretched out his palm and shook Xia De. The price is reasonable, within the range that Xia De can accept:
"It's a pity that you don't have a special rule card here."

Xia De sighed, almost sure that at least the person in front of him was just an ordinary person.

"I'm a small business. All the cards here are worth less than a special rule card. But if you want to play cards, you can go to our team leader. That gentleman is the best card among us." hand, he has a special rule card in his hand."

Xia De raised his eyebrows, first he said that he would buy the Moon 10, and then he talked with the man about the circus.The two gradually became acquainted, and even played a game of cards together.Because of this, Xia De has a deeper understanding of the basic situation of the circus, and learned that after the circus came to the local area, it did indeed recruit new people from the local area.

Most of them are underage, responsible for miscellaneous tasks such as field handling, and when the troupe leaves, one or two of them will be taken away as apprentices.These certainly would not be Gray Gloves agents, and while neither MI[-] nor Gray Gloves have banned the use of child labor, such tasks should not be assigned to minors.

As for the adults recruited after coming to the local area, there are five or six adults. The number is uncertain because some of them are only part-time workers, and they may leave one day and never come back.As for the long-term stay, one is the new accountant of the circus, Mr. Merkel, and the other is said to be the distant nephew of the head of the circus, who specially came to join his uncle.

"Oh, in the middle of the night last night, the dog in the regiment kept barking outside. Later, we found an unconscious man in the farmland. The regiment leader said that if he had time, he would report to the city in the afternoon. That guy is still unconscious , but no injuries can be seen."

As he spoke, he glanced at the three policemen not far away who were asking for information about the circus:

"They don't care about this matter, really, they are all policemen, why are they so clearly divided?"

"Did you pick up a comatose person last night? I'm from the city, I can go and see him later. Speaking of which, I want to play a few rounds of Rhodes cards with the leader, and see his skills Special card, I don’t know where I can see him? Is he the one talking to the police over there?”

Xia De finally asked, because playing cards made the relationship closer, so the man guarding the booth got up and asked Xia De a round:
"The head of the group went to the village and discussed with the village head about building a temporary gas pipeline. He will be back in half an hour. The one over there is our deputy head. He doesn't know how to play cards."

"Okay, I'll take another look around the camp."

Xia De said, and then walked towards the place where the unconscious man was.

There was no suitable place to put him in the circus, but he was worried that if he died like this, the foreigners in the circus would be regarded as criminals by the locals, so he was finally put in the tent where the circus apprentices lived.

Everyone in the regiment had things to do, so no one had time to take care of him, so when Shade got into the tent, no one stopped him:

"Aren't they afraid of losing things?"

The living environment of the apprentices is not very good. Apart from living, there are also a lot of sundries for performances piled up in the tent.On the innermost side of a row of low beds made of discarded steam pipes lay a pale-faced, yellow-haired man in his thirties.

Seeing his face, Xia De was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw the soul floating above him, making a grimace in Xia De's direction:

"Gills is still awake, I can't let anyone get close to him! It's dangerous here, big villain, go away!"

The soul of the little girl Ruster Edwards whispered, entertaining herself without looking bored.For a moment, Xia De doubted whether he was still in Green Lake, whether he had returned to Tobesk City.Then I realized that I really met Professor Manning's friend, the former tomb robber Dorot Giles, and the second eldest daughter of the Edwards family who died young.

Although the little girl's soul was rated as very powerful, she couldn't recognize Xia De just by her appearance.Therefore, when Xia De approached, she even waved her hand to hit Xia De's chest-this would make ordinary people feel cold all over.

Unexpectedly, Xia De grabbed the girl's hand at once.

He looked seriously into the other person's eyes, and Ruster Edwards put away his grimace, showed an innocent smile, and then pulled his hand violently to leave, but he couldn't get rid of Xia De's hand no matter what. .

With a bang, she turned into smoke and dispersed, and then appeared on the other side of the bed.This kind of supernatural ability of ghosts that only appears in storybooks is actually a very unique space power. It seems that even the undead have inherited Edwards' excellent blood.

"Professor's friend, we met in Tobesk."

Xia De said very calmly, instead of chasing the girl, he sat on the edge of the bed and put his hand on Durut Giles' forehead.

【coma.Being exposed to a powerful force beyond one's own mental capacity, it fell into a dormant state of self-protection. 】

That is, seeing things that should not be seen.

"Why did you come here?"

He raised his head and asked the girl who was hiding aside. This Megan's ancestor, besides Laplace Klein Howard, was the most senior existence in the Edwards family, and he also recognized Shad at this time.

She tried to float closer, and seeing that Xia De didn't catch her again, she pinched her waist with both hands and "warned":

"I'm only 11 years old, so don't think badly about me."

"Well, please don't say such things, I'm a little scared. No kidding, you know I don't mean anything to you. How did you come here? Didn't I say, don't come to Green Lake?"

The girl thought for a while:
"Yesterday Gilles went to dinner and argued with me not to scare the stray cats. We were in the alley and here we are!"

She gestured in an exaggerated way:
"It's really fast, and it's here. I know this place, home, in the lake over there."

"Is it really fate to encounter a space transfer?"

Xia De frowned, and looked at the lying Dulute Gilles again.There were no traces of space power on the opponent's body, and there were no obvious external injuries.Although the space transfer is extremely dangerous, this appearance does not seem to be comatose because of it:

"Do you know what happened to him?"

The girl gestured again and said:
"When we came here, Gilles wanted to take me to find out where it was, so he walked towards the place with light. Then, we saw a circus~ a circus~ a circus only in the book! Giles got scared by the tiger, cowardly Giles, poor Giles, and then he passed out!"

She said with a smile, floating in the air and kept turning in circles.

Xia De almost understood:
"Is that tiger a bad thing?"

He tried to express it in a girl's way, and Ruster Edwards nodded as expected:

"Yes, bad stuff, bad stuff. And it's contagious, it's a disease! When Giles wakes up, we'll go right away."

"Contagion. Can you tell me that the tiger is still in the camp? I want to get rid of the tiger. In this way, even if your friend can't wake up for a short time, there will be no problems."

The soul blinked at Xia De, as if surprised by Xia De's thoughts.She flew above Durut Giles, and then opened her left and right arms together, drawing a circle in the air.

Faint traces of light flickered in the air, a translucent gray ball of light enveloping Durut Giles.This is a means of sealing off space, but it is very similar to Xia De's "Moon Thorns".

"I will go with you!"

Ruster Edwards says:
"Tiger hurt Gilles! It's a bad thing."

"Why didn't you go by yourself just now?"

"Because I can't beat it."

Therefore, although Ruster Edwards' way of thinking is naive, she is definitely not without common sense in life.
