The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 175 Ch.174 Filial Piety

"Have you ever been to the circus, Mr. Rose?"

"Looks like that's my new nickname."

Compared with outside, the tent is much warmer.

This huge, almost majestic performance tent was erected by members of the Mud Ball Circus.

Someone was staring at the charcoal fire in the corner, and at the entrance, there were young men and women serving in colorful clothes to guide each ticket.

Xander and Roland bought the middle area, neither high nor low, going around half of the ring. There were two inferior cushions on the wooden chairs.

For the ticket price, this can be said to be a good deal.

"I couldn't even see the world before, so how could I ever see a circus?"

After the two sat down, Xander took off his fedora and placed it on his lap. She sat elegantly, like the ladies around her, looking straight ahead, tilting her head slightly from time to time, and talking in a low voice - there was no embarrassing situation in the senior seats, unlike those under their feet or opposite:

There were already people fighting over seats.

"My grandpa often talks about you, saying you are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen." It was still some time before the performance started, and Xander chatted with Roland one after another.

But when it came to Gary Kratofer, Roland was not in a good mood.

The bishop gave him a very bad feeling.

Like a workhouse trustee.

"Grandpa has been very busy recently, as is the case every winter - with the arrival of the death season, some rituals lose their effectiveness, and Hei Weng's people take the opportunity to come out and cause trouble."

She said while paying attention to Roland's face until she found what she wanted on Roland's face.

So the girl was happy.

"Look, you noticed it, didn't you?"

Roland pretended to be confused: "Me? Discovered? Discovered what?"

Xander raised his slender fingers and lightly scratched the back of Roland's hand with his nails.

"That's it." She batted her eyelashes and smiled lightly: "My grandpa's little hobby."

Roland:......

He quite didn't want to talk to Xiandel about her grandfather's 'little hobby' on such an occasion.

"My grandfather is a hero who has prevented countless disasters. But at the same time, he is also a dirty and shameless old man. He insulted many children, threatened them to open their mouths, and then shut them tightly after the end - and the price was... "

"They can be chosen by the Holy Cross as holy children."

There was no smile in Xander's icy lake-colored eyes, and he shook his fingers in front of Roland: "One or two shillings a week. Three of them are loved - but soon, these children will grow older. And was condemned from the Holy Cross."

"Typically, this will be anywhere from six months to two years."

Roland didn't know why Xander told him this.

The occasion is wrong and the relationship is wrong.

This is not a conversation between teammates and friends.

"...His tricks are so boring. I heard a 'holy boy' say that he covered his legs with pagan scriptures and tricked the holy boy into saying that there was a way to heaven and salvation for mortals..."

The girl curled a bunch of gray hair with her fingers and talked about this obscene and unspeakable thing, but she seemed like a woman on the street who was good at it.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is not a land of water, nor is it muddy or wet."

With a sarcastic look on her face, she slowly leaned toward Roland and said in a low voice: "... Roland, he is disrespectful to you and insults you. You should... kill him."

As expected.

Roland saw pure madness and malice in her pure eyes.

Roland didn't know what was going on with Xander and her grandfather, but he certainly couldn't give his teammates a disgraceful mouth here.

"Kratofer."

The corners of Roland's mouth gradually lost their arc, and he stared at the slightly distorted face in front of him.

He held the hand that was causing trouble on the back of his hand and legs with his backhand, grabbed her wrist, and then squeezed it tightly.

Getting tighter.

When his expression became more dangerous and impatient, it was like a handful of hot oil being poured into the flames.

Xander burned brighter.

She seemed to see what she had been waiting for. The two ice-blue eyes instantly thawed and became soft and moist, and the surging emotions spread out into strong waves.

She licked her dry lips and blinked.

softened.

She backed away slowly.

After Roland let go of his hand, he sat back down like a lady.

"It was just a joke, Roland. I hope you hate him, but don't hate me."

Roland looked at her for another moment, rubbed his fingers, and spoke carefully: "...I don't have anything against Archbishop Kratof - as long as he is no longer rude to me. Frankly speaking, I don't dislike shaking hands with people of the same sex. The premise is not to be too For a long time, don’t have too many tricks.”

Xander glanced at his sharply knuckled fingers, caressed his wrist with his other hand, his eyes flashing: "...You should beg Lady Enid to seek justice for you."

Roland smiled half-heartedly: "Oh, you are so kind to your grandpa."

Xander nodded sincerely: "I can do better."

Pfft.

Roland was amused by these words.

The smile softened the sharpness on the handsome young man's face.

That dazzling face was now full of vitality and life.

He was no longer the pale bird on the hospital bed when she first met him.

Now he is handsome, excellent, a male lion full of charm, enough to attract females without knowing it.

Xander tightened his fingers on his felt hat and quietly watched the most beautiful scenery in the world beside him.

My salvation…

Will it be here...?

Bang——!

There was a loud bang.

Several beams of flames spurted out from the center of the ring!

The lights in the tent gradually went out, replaced by countless torches that were lit at an unknown time and burned in the open space of the venue.

A man walks to the center.

Round face.

The body is slightly bloated.

Wearing a fancy ivory suit woven with pale gold patterns.

He had pale curly hair, and several of his fingers were covered with gems.

Fancy man.

He shook his head, first saluted in all directions funny, then turned the ring on his finger and said:

"welcome!"

"Welcome to my circus!"

“Mason Lyle’s Circus Freak Show!”

As soon as he finished speaking, applause burst out from the crowd.

Roland and Xander also clapped their hands a few times along with the crowd.

"Thank you, thank you, oh, kid, don't throw the paper down... Well, now that you've thrown it away, be more careful next time. My face is worth a fortune now."

This undoubtedly filled the tent with laughter again.

Roland also laughed.

"...I believe that you who are rich, elegant, beautiful, noble in blood or from a well-off family - and many gentlemen and ladies who will definitely have a well-off family in the future and are currently struggling, I believe you have long known about Mason Lyle's circus What’s a monster show like, right?”

"I think I'd better leave my time to my children."

"You didn't come here to pay money to listen to a fat man's crazy talk."

Everyone laughed.

Soon, a girl was waiting on the sidelines.

"Please allow me to solemnly introduce my child to you!"

"The girl possessed by the dog spirit: Halida!"

Amid the roar of people, the brown-skinned girl slowly walked out.
