This is his usual trick. "

And the sailor's companion who was drinking in the back laughed and exposed his old bottom without hesitation.

"After all, in this gloomy port city where Puritans live, there's not much to have fun."

"That's right, sailors and drama actors, everyone is a foreigner, so let's get along well. Ahahahaha!"

Another sailor also held up a glass of wine (Wang's) and laughed.

"Looking at it this way, it seems like a misunderstanding...but the source is obvious."

Looking at the sailors who put away their weapons, Xia Heng raised his eyebrows and turned his attention to someone, and Fujimaru Tachibana also glanced at the man in green.

"It's true that Robin is wrong, and I let him apologize to everyone."

"What? I won't accept it! Does that mean I'm not supervising well!?"

"But actually, it's because you went to gamble, Robin, that it became like this."

"...Yes, yes, I guessed it would be like this!"

Seeing this, Robin Hood sighed.

"Hu... hu... This is, what's wrong? Why is it so lively?"

Matthew, who arrived late, slammed open the door of the tavern, staring blankly at the lively scene inside.

"I ran over out of breath and found that it had turned into a lively banquet... hey...what the hell is going on?".

Chapter [*]: The Golden Deer and the Stormy Night

"...So that's the case, I understand it for the time being."

After hearing everyone's explanation, Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, it's good that it didn't cause major trouble. Phew..."

"Haha, but it's actually a drama." A crew member let out a hearty laugh: "If we continue to be trapped here by the storm outside the port, let's take a look.

"Storm...isn't the weather outside the port suitable for sailing?"

Looking at the sailors in the tavern, Xia Heng nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right, little brother. However, it's really a shame that you guys want to come to Salem, both on tour and selling things. Miss Captain over there, what drama are you going to play?"

"Ah, about this one-one"

At this moment, a slightly old voice intervened, interrupting the lively reception.

"You wait, the old man also wants to hear from you. Come and listen."

An old man dressed as a villager stood up from the corner, looked at Chaldea and said.

"You all say that you are an actor in a traveling theater...but this old man can't believe it!"

"Well......"

"He's an old man who has been sitting in the corner of the store since just now, not a sailor, but a villager in this village."

Seeing this 640, Robin Hood lowered his voice and reminded everyone.

"The old man opened a grocery store in this village." The old man stared at the crowd and said, "I also go to Boston from time to time, but I have never seen an actor like you. Most of the actors I know are good things. but if you want to make money, you can't come to Salem."

"Or, as the sailor said, are you trying to do some shady business behind your back? The captain is also quite young. This is your first tour."

"This is the first time."

"what?"

Hearing Nezha's blunt words, the old man frowned for a while.

"Oops! No no! She means, it's her first tour, she just became a member of the troupe, of course it's her first tour?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Robin Hood immediately explained with a smile on his face.

"There's trouble again..."

"...Leave it to me here." Upon seeing this, Matthew stood up: "Actually, in order to prevent this situation, Chaldea prepared a guide book for us."

"Grandpa, the shopkeeper who thinks about the stability of the town."

Although (bddh) said so, she was still a little nervous, and even if she memorized the playwrights' scripts and guidelines in advance, it was difficult to maintain absolute calm at this moment.

"Don't, don't look at our Fujimaru Tachibana Theater. In fact, we are also people who honor the great cause of God. Although we are not Puritans or Quakers, we are engaged in performing arts while expressing gratitude to God's grace. There is no need to say daily prayers, if there is a church in the place of residence, the Sunday service will never be absent.”

"During our travels, we heard that in this New England there is a village that the theater actors have never visited. The land where the honest and simple people live—Salem. We hear occasionally that Salem is A place worthy of its name as a city on a hill. As biblical people, we wanted to learn about the way the people of Salem lived, and if the only way we could make a living was any consolation , and it really surprised us.”

"A city on a hill..."

Listening to Matthew's words, the old man's vigilant expression gradually eased.

"Well... I understand that you are working very hard. Just now, I have been watching the bad news in the corner, and I can see that you don't want to cause a fight and are trying to integrate into this town. Although there are still some differences in words and deeds."

"Well......"

It was obvious who this "inconsistent" was talking about, and Nezha consciously lowered his head.

"But...hope you don't confuse us too much."

The old man continued talking.

"Although some say that the Puritans disliked plays, novels, and loud dances, that's too much to flatter us. Half true, half false. It's the fear of indulging in them that makes them shy. Lian Xiao Children know very well that drama can bring joy and excitement."

"So it's not that no one comes to this tavern to relax. We are both villagers and we all turn a blind eye to each other. If it's just a glass of cider, everyone understands. We are all weak, so please don't confuse us too much^^ what."

“The cider is pretty good...”

Hearing a certain keyword, the Green Forest Ranger couldn't help but smile.

"...Even if we are not welcome, can...we stay here as a troupe?"

"This is not something the old man can decide alone..."

Hearing Matthew's plea, the old man sighed.

"It might change the opinion of the people of Salem about what kind of play you're going to perform. If you want to do it anyway... This old man can help you fight the priest and the village squires. Say hello. You can try out a play in front of them first and get the village's official permission before you talk."

"I see..." Matthew bowed to the old man, then retreated into the crowd and asked Fujimaru Tachibana, "Senior, is this a good opportunity?"

"really."

"If you have to refuse even this and want to do business on your own, then honestly, it's better to get out of the village quickly. According to the owner of this shop, you seem to be Mr. Carter's guests. That's more. Needless to say. You should go to Rhode Island or Pennsylvania, which is more tolerant of foreigners, before being targeted by the judge."

The old man spoke again.

"This is Massachusetts. Even a small village can't escape the judge's eyes. This old man doesn't want to see hangings in this village."

"... Hanging!?"

"Well... it was probably four years ago. The old man saw sinners hanged in Boston Square. There was a witch's nightmare, don't you know."

"Oh... oh oh, witch, I really hope you can tell us about it in detail."

After exchanging glances with everyone, Robin Hood immediately walked towards the old man and asked kindly.

"I recommend that you consider the old man's proposal."

Seeing this, Xia Heng whispered towards Mashiu and Fujimaru Tachibana.

"If it can be recognized, the actions here will be more beneficial to you. For the time being, you don't have to worry about the Demon God Pillar. It won't cause any storms. I can guarantee this. I have already confirmed it when I entered here. "

"Well...it's a test of some kind."

"Yeah, so you have to cheer. If necessary, I will also assist on the side, at least the audience will take care of it.".

Chapter [*] Queen of Sheba is powerless to complain

"One by one...it's really melancholy. Although the journey rocking on the camel's back won't be very hard, the thought of not seeing King Solomon in the capital of Jerusalem... In the dark, in the lit auditorium, the dancer who played the role of Queen Ba sighed.

"What are you worrying about, Her Majesty? You've been worrying all the time during your two-month journey! The Red Sea port is about two days away. Jerusalem is even further. More to come."

The executioner noble, who was the captain of the caravan, shouted loudly.

"Look at the gifts you brought! Gold that can't even carry twenty camels and weighs a hundred and twenty talents! Sapphire, amber, opal, garnet and many other precious gems, and also It has the highest quality frankincense that I am proud of. It is unprecedented to carry this amount of treasure across the desert!"

"The most important thing is that your Majesty's beauty is well known. How could there be a male emperor in this world who would refuse your visit!"

"Is it really?"

Even though the retainers were so loud, the Queen sighed.

"These treasures are for expressing trust and sincerity to that king. The real gift is in my heart. Most importantly, that king was born with the blessing of God, eh? Captain of the caravan."

"But I can't understand no matter what, whether it is the king of a threshold or the head of a family, men are actually not much different. If you are flattered, your nostrils will be turned upside down, and once you become greedy, you will be obsessed. Not to mention the king's man, doesn't he just rely on his blood to enjoy his success?"

The Queen's retainer frowned and said.

"Compared with the previous king's rule, Israel has indeed become a more convenient trade, the second home of Taimin'an. But if he is a wise man, that is not necessarily the case."

"The port is in sight, so it's better to be cautious. Maybe the king's spies are hiding nearby."

"Follow your orders! Oh, one by one?"

"Captain of the caravan! There is a mutation in front of the queue! There seems to be a robber ambushing."

"If you don't learn your lesson, it's here again. It's very close to the oasis, and it's time for more thieves. But as long as you hear about a caravan that you've never heard of before, it's inevitable that someone will attack overnight.

The dream of wealth comes. "

Seeing this, the Queen's retainers smiled and sighed.

"In other words, you should have some confidence in your preparations to prevent thieves from attacking. Since you can handle it, do you need me to help?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking! Don't worry, we have powerful warriors here. They are loyal and glorious warriors who serve you and the kingdom!"

"Why are you making such a fuss all of a sudden?"

Seeing the retainers leading the soldiers to face the robbers, Queen Sheba really sighed this time.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'm sorry."

Watching the fierce fight on the stage, Xia Heng nodded to the surrounding squires and left the audience immediately.

"...That's your guest too, Carter."

"That's right, Judge. That's a traveling businessman from the East. I heard that the Fujimaru Tachibana Theater Company will perform here, so I chose the long way through Salem."

"Hmph, your guests better not do anything sneaky."
