Chapter 817 - 817 Farewell to Sandra’s Circus
817 Farewell to Sandra’s Circus
The battle is over. And now, I’m bringing Albert back to his palace, the tamer to the circus, and the blacksmith who have finished watching how well the armor was back to my place in the capital. Albert brought back the silver horse and the tamer is taking the horse with ice element with him. If the horse didn’t use any magic, it look like an ordinary white horse. So no one will know that the horse is a magic horse.
As for the summoner, he can return back to the circus anytime he wants. He can open a portal to return to the circus. He’s a summoner after all.
He’s talking with the centaur he made a contract with for now. And not just that. The horse he rode during the match is also with him. I guess he will bring back his horse as well.
Hmm... maybe we will have two horse riders in the circus now. Three if I count myself. I think we can have more performance to show if the horses can learn some tricks. Like jumping over obstacles.
When I said what I was thinking, Victoria added a suggestion.
“Then we can add jousting in the show. Everyone loves gambling. They can place their bet on either the summoner or the tamer. Then if the one they put their bet on win, they can get money. Though that’s no longer a circus. But it can be added as a new performance. As a warmup for the circus,” Victoria said.
I see. To put a gambling and use it as a show to make everyone interested in the circus. We can also advertise the circus then.
I agree with Victoria. Using something to hype the circus might be profitable. Though the seats are all taken most of the time though. So it might not change anything.
But if we can profit from the gamble as well, then that would be fine. I have to ask Thomas first about it though.
.....
But more importantly, I need to ask Victoria something.
“What is jousting?” I asked.
“Well, you saw the match before, right? Imagine both side start the fight like the summoner did. Both with a lance and a shield. Then they crashed at full speed. Those who fall from the horse will lose. It was interesting show in the medieval era in my world. So it might be good to do in this world as well. Sometimes, it was used as a way for knights to solve disagreement,” Victoria said.
“But won’t that be obvious to the cult that we’re fighting like that? What if they started investigating the circus? I think we need to ask Burnes and the other agents first. Though maybe we can use it to ambush the cult. If they started to investigating us, it will be easier for the agents to find them,” I said.
Also, if that jousting become more popular, there might be more people interested in doing it. Other master level mages and everyone will be willing to learn horse-riding.
Well, it’s just for show anyway. Even if the cult is suspicious, we’re a circus troupe. If anyone ask, we’ll just say that it’s part of the training for the show for the circus.
Though if we do that, I think we might need a bigger place to perform. The tent we usually perform is too small for the horses to run at full speed.
And bigger tent means bigger performances. We might be able to add other performance that we thought would be impossible in the small tent.
And it also means more audience. I think if I say that, Thomas will agree.
“Let’s put that jousting aside for now. I think Thomas is not in any condition to talk about other things yet. He just had a girlfriend,” I said.
“You’re right. Next time I see Sandra, I will tell her that I will travel more for research for my new book so that she won’t look for me anymore if I’m not with you. It’s all now up to Thomas to keep their relationship,” Victoria said.
The centaurs will now move to the Monsters Village. The summoner is helping the centaurs. While I informed them about how to live in that place. Not that there will be any special rule or something. Just that to not fight between each other until death.
I think the blacksmith will have a lot more order that he needs to complete now. I hope he got a lot of disciple so he won’t work alone. And his disciple will be talented as well. There are too many people that they need to make weapons for. Just one blacksmith is not enough.
I returned back to the circus. It’s late now and everything has been prepared for our next journey. We’re getting closer to Consenza and should be there before next month.
“Congrats, Thomas. Though why are you here and not with Sandra?” I asked.
Thomas is here at the inn we’re staying instead of being together with Sandra.
“She’s also going to travel with her circus troupe. She said that this will be her last tour before she can come to me. So she wants to focus on her circus first,” Thomas said.
“Then what? She will join us?” I asked.
I haven’t heard of any other circus troupe who will travel around the continent. So I think Sandra’s group will at most travel within Varadis only. Which mean she will be done sooner than us.
As for us, we still have a bit of Varadis, the whole Consenza, and a bit of Tatrama as well. So it will be a while until we can finish the tour.
I think we still have one or two more place to go before we can go to Consenza. And if we find any villages or cities not listed in the place we’re supposed to go to, we will still perform there.
“She said that if possible, she wants to join up with us. But I told her to wait in Cassau instead after she’s done with the circus. What do you think?” Thomas asked.
“You want someone to escort her to Cassau? I can ask someone to do it. And I’m sure she won’t get bored waiting for you there,” I said.
“Thanks. She said that she will be done in twenty days at most. But...”
“Don’t worry about that. When we were together, I already attached my clone to her without her knowing. So after twenty days, I’ll get Roy to bring someone to her using portal closest to my clone attached to her. It won’t be hard. I have told her about Kayla and the others. And she’s interested in meeting them as well. I’m sure she can get along with anyone Roy will bring,” Victoria said to interrupt Thomas’ word.
“Thanks, Victoria. I won’t be able to get her if it’s not for you,” Thomas said.
I guess I can only get someone from my harem to safely escort Sandra to Cassau then. Well, I’m sure it will be fine. And it’s not like they train every day anyway. They need to take a break once in a while.
The next day, we’re ready to leave. And we’re meeting with Sandra’s group as well on the gate. Though we will go to different location.
From the look of it, that guy who was supposed to be Thomas’ rival was crying the whole night. I guess he must have learned that Sandra is now Thomas’ girlfriend.
“Are you sure it’s okay to leave her with them? What if he’s trying to do something to her?” I asked Burnes.
“Don’t worry. We have said that we will support Thomas’ love life. So one of us will leave to make sure that she will be safe at all time. Sandra’s last location for their tour is also his hometown. So he can take a break there as well. So it will be fine,” Burnes said.
“Well, if you say so,” I said.
Now that I look around, the guy he’s talking about, the tightrope walker, is not nearby. Then I looked up and see that he’s standing in the middle of a drying rope for laundry of someone’s house. Why though? Just to tell me that you’re there?
The owner of the house then found him and about to scold him. Only to realize that he’s somewhat famous. Maybe she watched the circus. Then she asked for his autograph before he disappears.
Once Sandra’s circus is over, I’ll just use portal to the Blobby attached on him.
Thomas and Sandra said their farewell. But Thomas look so shy and timid while Sandra is just smiling.
“What are you doing standing there? Just kiss her already!” I said.
Thomas was too shy, so it was Sandra who make the approach.
It was a short kiss. But Thomas’ face is too red now. Is this the first time that they were kissing?
I know that Sandra is a widow. So she must have experience with it at least. As for Thomas, I never really asked him. Though it was not important. What’s important is that Thomas’ girlfriend is Sandra now.
After saying our farewell, we leave the city together before we split up. This might not be any different than our other shows. But for Thomas, I think the event in this city is something unforgettable.
Well, now that everyone have someone to tease. So it’s just fun for us.
Though none of us forget that we still have the cult to destroy if we want Thomas and Sandra to have their happily ever after story.
