Duke of Grief

"...Okay, today's story is over, I should go too." The last note was popped, the bard picked up the lute, and with the crowd's coax, he took a drink of spirits on the bar And exhausted, and showed them the bottom of the cup.

With cheers and applause, the minstrel burped and left the tavern with a smile.

After a moment of silence, the tavern resumed its noisy past.

But soon, this ‘everyday’ was broken!

boom!

The tavern’s door was knocked open and the light from the door poured in. Then, a large mess of footsteps shocked everyone in the tavern.

People turned their heads in amazement, and happened to see a uniformed officer stepping into the tavern with his hands on his back, his eyes sharply scanning the audience.

Afterwards, the soldiers wearing swords rushed in, and before the crowd did not respond, they came to their side, took out a wanted order, pointed to the portrait above, and asked them: "You have seen this guy ?"

The mercenary closest to the door opened his eyes in dizzy eyes, looked closely at them carefully, and frowned.

He seemed to know the person on the wanted order, but he couldn't remember where he had met...

"Isn't that the bard?"

Suddenly he heard an exclamation, and then there seemed to be a thunderbolt in his brain, making him wake up, pointing at the portrait and excitedly: "Yes, yes, that is the bard, he just left!"

The mercenary's answer made the officer's eyebrows uncontrollably raise. What is ‘he just left?’

The officer stepped forward and walked to the mercenary's side, Shen Sheng asked, "You said he just left?"

The mercenary opened his mouth, and just wanted to answer, he burped with wine, his mouth full of alcohol and bad breath, the officer's face was disgusted with rejection, but he was still waiting for the mercenary's answer.

"Yes, he just left..." The mercenary raised his finger to the street outside the door. "Just now, he just sat beside me. Before you came, he just left..."

When he got the answer, the officer immediately turned around and yelled at the soldier: "Go chase me! Check me! You must catch this guy today!"

Hearing the command of the chief, the soldiers immediately moved and successively walked out of the tavern. Soon, all the soldiers in the tavern disappeared, leaving only the dull businessmen and mercenaries. They looked at each other, no Know what happened.

It’s said that the bard has been performing in this pub for many days, but looking at the warrants held by the soldiers, it’s not like it can be made in a short time. What has the city done?

However, this low atmosphere did not last long. Soon, the pub was lively again, and this matter became their talk, and you put together the so-called'truth', joy The atmosphere suddenly filled the pub in Xiacheng District.

Walking between the excrement and the dirty water, the military boots stepped on the muddy ground, the officer did not care about the smell of the nose, and walked through the streets with the soldiers, trying to find the trace of the bard.

The soldiers have long been scattered. They walked in the streets with wanted warrants. When they met someone, they asked.

It’s not just their team that is tracing the bard. The officer even heard that the bard had some trouble in Corton, but he managed to escape.

This kind of thing is very troublesome, but since the above has been ordered, then they need to complete this task.

The whole town was boiling because of this, and each team was responsible for an area, but until the end of the evening, they still did not catch the bard.

Obviously, he has found a clue that he appeared in this town, but he has not been able to catch people. This is undoubtedly a shame for the officer who carried out the task of searching and arresting the bard.

But if you think about it, it seems that it is not impossible. After all, they also heard that the bard had played with the army there in Corton, and escaped from Corton after being surrounded by the army. .

The officers discussed the search plan for tomorrow before going back to sleep.

But when they woke up the next day and were ready to carry out the search plan again, they found something strange appeared in the town.

People spontaneously walked out of the house, gathered on the street, and looked up at the sky, but when the soldiers and officers looked up, they saw nothing.

"What are you doing?" a soldier walked over and asked in a bad tone.

When the civilian on his shoulders saw that the questioner was a soldier, he could not help shrinking his head, his eyes flashing, and he stuttered and answered, "Look, watch the show..."

"Performance?" The soldier frowned and looked up, but still saw nothing. "What performance? Where?"

"It's just playing! It's in that square, isn't it?" the civilian asked in surprise.

Looking at his puzzled expression, the soldier felt that he might not have lied, but...

"How can we have a square here?" The soldier quietly let go of his shoulder and placed it on the hilt, then asked sharply.

"Isn't it just in front?" The civilian raised his finger, but the direction of his finger was the sky.

magic! This is magic!

The soldier's face changed suddenly, and his heart shouted wildly. His eyes flashed across the dark crowd on the street, and his heart suddenly filled with fear and panic.

He couldn't help but took a few steps backwards, but after that, his heel hit something.

Suddenly drawing a sword and turning around, the soldier cried with red eyes behind him: "Who?"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

The blonde bard carrying a lute raised his hands and shouted in panic: "I am not malicious! Really not!"

The soldier gasped for a few breaths and looked at the bard's handsome face and deep blue eyes. Something seemed to flash in his mind, but he didn't get his attention.

Looking at this familiar face, the soldier clenched the hilt and asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"

"What to do..." The minstrel looked puzzled. "Of course it's a show! It's in that square, isn't it?"

It’s ‘square’ again...

The thought flashed through the soldier's mind, but he couldn't help but looked in the direction of the bard.

"Huh?" The soldier blinked incredulously. What did he see?

The clown with the quirky white face makeup smiled and stood on a wooden ball. His hands kept throwing the small colored ball, which caused a lot of applause.

Cheers and cheers like a tide suddenly came to him, dragging him into the ocean of joy.

When he saw a flying swordsman blindfolded and threw the flying knife at a performer tied to a rotatable disc, he could no longer suppress his emotions and exclaimed.

Tom! Tom! Tom!

Only three sounds of flying knives inserted into the wood sounded, and Rex, who stood aside, grabbed the disc, stopped the rotating disc, and then turned the base to face the front of the disc to the audience.

At the same time, the unscathed performer untied himself untied and walked off the disc.

This splendid performance caused a lot of cheers.

The soldier was already immersed in it. He clapped hard and laughed.

While the people were enjoying themselves, the ferocious army of lords suddenly arrived and drove away the circus~www.NovelMTL.com~ For a moment, the people turned their horses and turned the square into chaos.

The people crowded on the street withdrew their eyes and looked at each other, then the anger suddenly rose.

They forgot the wonderful circus performance and the ‘square’. At this moment, they only remember one thing—

"The taxes here are too high..."

"In the Principality of the Winds of Mourning, in the Kingdom of Koror, many people are able to eat, and no one will freeze to death even in a winter..."

"They are there, there is a big harvest every year, and it can't even be said that it is a'bumper harvest', because there is so much output every year, how can it be said that it is a bumper harvest..."

"It's all because they have a good ruler..."

"It's all because... there is something wrong with your system!"
