Chapter 617: Leaving Melk
After we finished taking care of the succubus, we returned back to Melk. The preparation is already over by the time we arrived. And the next day, at night, we begun our first show in Melk.
Of course I gave Oleg and his family tickets so they can see our performance. And thanks to him coming to the show, there are more people than we expected who came to the circus. The seats are not enough to hold everyone so many people were unable to watch the show.
The next day, our second day of show in Melk, the same thing happened. So we decided to stay in Melk for a bit longer. The three day shows turned into five day. And we will continue the tour after a week in Melk. The sourc???? of this content is novelenglish.net . Firᴇ
“Well, that’s to be expected. I’m popular after all,” I said.
“There are two main reason why our show in Melk is a huge success. First is because you invited the most influential man in Melk to watch the show. Because of him, many people thinks highly of the circus and wanted to come as well. As for the second reason, it’s because of your first performance as Clarence the Clown. This is where you first became Clarence the Clown. Many people still remember you and want to see you again. That’s why I decided to stay here for a few more days for the show. I hope you will agree,” Thomas said to me.
The decision that Thomas made was discussed with the others while I’m not around. It was decided during the day when I was looking around for cult members and looking for a way to increase the fame of the two living armors.
When I returned after that, Thomas told me that we will stay a bit longer than planned because we have so many fans in this city. And I have no problem with that.
.....
“I don’t see any problem with that. But everyone has agreed, right? If so, I will follow,” I said.
There’s no real need to be in a hurry after all. The tour we decided is flexible. There’s no real schedule of where and when we should go.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough we have prepared a route around the continent, it’s not like we have to stick with the route all the time. We can leave or stay whenever we want. Though we will need everyone’s agreement first.
After that, we discussed a bit more about the tour. Some of the performers, who are agents, wanted to stay in their hometown for a bit longer. So it seems like the tour will take longer than expected. But that’s not a big problem.
And so, we decided to stay in Melk for a while longer. But for me, I traveled to various location using portals. I asked some people if there are any famous monster nearby that will gain me some fame as living armors if they are killed. Once we gathered enough information, we will go and take care of them.
Victoria and I will split up and take care of different monsters, or some troubles, so our fame will increase. The cult will then look for us, and we will fight them.
There are many people who is investigating about those rumors. And I told them if there’s an urgent situation with people’s lives at stake, they can move on their own without asking for my help. And of course if it’s something they can’t do, they can ask me for help. I will try to get the living armor to be heard by the cult as much as possible. Until they are bored of it and decided to kill me so I can find them and kill them instead.
Finally, our show in Melk is over. We will stay for another day to prepare for our departure. And the next city we will go to is Mellian.
“...I hope Hill is not as important of a figure in Mellian as Oleg is in Melk,” I said hopefully.
It’s been quite a while since I last see Hill. Back then, Hill was aiming at the gullible Kron who didn’t notice it at all. I hope Hill already has someone else or I will be targeted again.
“I think it will be fine. I have been exchanging letter with him all the time and he’s doing well,” Victoria said.
“...Yeah. You two are good friends. I’ll trust you for now, Victoria,” I replied.
I don’t know how fine it will be since Victoria is the one saying it. But there’s nothing else to do except to go there after all. I’m not the one who decide where we should go.
We have decided all the important location we need to go to. Including smaller kingdoms in the continent. Beyond that, I left the rest to Thomas and the others to decide where else to go.
After the preparation is over, we left to Mellian. And since I don’t have anything to do, I joined the carriage. With several carts being pulled by horses.
Actually, I can have just one extremely huge carriage being pulled by Ray alone. But unfortunately, the road isn’t that large. It will only cause trouble to other travelers if we do that.
And more importantly, Ray will be moving together with Victoria as living armor. We can’t let people connect Ray with the circus because of it. That’s why I used portal to move Ray to Monsters World instead.
I can just unsummon him and return him to where we first met. But Ray doesn’t like that since he will be all alone. Especially since no matter how much I tried, I can’t open a portal to that side. I can only summon Ray and I can’t go there. That’s why Ray will be in Monsters World until I called him.
What a peaceful life. There’s no movement at all by the cult. The only thing we can do is wait. And rather than stressing myself while waiting, it’s best to do something to take my mind off from the cult. And traveling with the circus is one way to do it. Since we can also ask for advice from the other performers how to make our performance better.
On the way to Mellian, we encounter several monsters. But the other circus performers took care of them easily. There’s no need for me to get involved at all.
There’s really nothing I need to do for a few days until we get to Mellian. That’s what I thought until something happened.
“Alright. Let’s camp here for the night,” Thomas said as we prepare to rest for the night.
It’s already late and we need to get the horses to rest as well. So we decided to rest there by the side of the road.
This is not a good place to camp because it’s far from water source. But we brought a lot of water, and I’m here as well. So it doesn’t matter where we stay for the night.
And since I’m here, I told them that there’s no need to put some people to be the guard for the night. But they decided to do it anyway. Though both Thomas and I were excluded from the position.
“Well, if that’s what you want, then I will comply. Then I will take a walk and look around. I’ll put a barrier around the camp before I leave. It’s only for one hour but that’s enough to protect you until I get there in case there’s an emergency,” I said as I grabbed the walking cane and drew a large circle to cover the whole camp.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt’s just for one hour, but that’s more than enough to handle some enemies. Although those inside the barrier won’t be able to leave, they can prepare for when the barrier is opened in that time.
I summoned Ray and left the camp with Victoria.
“Roy, where are we going?” Victoria asked.
“There’s a small man I saw on the way here. He watched our carriage move and retreated somewhere. He might be planning for something since he acted suspicious,” I said.
“Small man? You mean a child?” Victoria asked.
“No. There’s no child that can have the lung of a smoker who have smoked for more than twenty years. He might be acting like a child but don’t get careless,” I said as we started to move.
While on the way, I put on my armor and Victoria transformed. There might be a chance that I am overthinking it and there’s actually nothing going on with the small man. But I want to get it out of my mind.
I can see the small man is moving toward our camp along with two other people. A man and a woman.
For those who don’t know, they might think that they are a couple of husband and wife with their son. But the small man is probably the oldest even though he doesn’t look like that.
“Let’s check where they came from first,” I said.
“You’re fine with them going to the camp?” Victoria asked.
“Yes. There are still more than fifty minutes before the barrier disappears. There’s nothing anyone can do. They can’t enter the camp, and those inside the barriers can’t leave. It’s best to check the fact first before making a move. They might be a part of bandit groups nearby,” I said.
Soon after we move, I can see a large group of people in a camp where that small man came from. Let’s see if they are enemies or not.
