Chapter 610: The Circus Tour Plan is Finalized
“So, you’re going to travel with the circus?”
As soon as I get home, Candy asked me about the meeting. And I told her and everyone at home that I will be joining on the tour with Thomas and the other circus performers.
“I am. Although I’m still trying to grow stronger, I also can’t wait for Albert or the others to find the Evil God. I can still continue my training since I can just use portal to Thomas’ location when he stopped by somewhere. With the four kings’ permission, we can go to almost anywhere in this continent. Though there are still other small kingdoms in this continent and Thomas is seeking for permission to enter there,” I said.
“Oh, there are more than four kingdoms here?” Angela asked.
Well, that’s to be expected. I guess she never listen to anything at school. Though it has been so long since we finished school.
There are only smaller kingdoms around the continent. Only the four kingdoms are the kingdoms we know. Three kingdoms and one empire I mean. These four are the biggest in this continent.
Albert and the others are also trying their best to convince the leader of those small kingdoms for cooperation. After all, if the cult is hiding from the big countries, there’s a high chance that they will hide in those small kingdoms.
.....
I also asked Veronica and Celestine about the small kingdoms. Celestine said that she went to a small kingdom when she was just become the leader of a faction back when she was with the cult. And Veronica went to another small kingdom as well. Which mean the cult also has some influence with those small kingdoms.
Though whether they have taken over those small kingdoms or not is something we don’t know yet. The kings’ agents were trying to investigate, but it’s difficult for them to find out about it.
After all, the easiest way to know if they are with the cult or not is by the explosive devices in the mouth of the weaker members of the cult. Other than that, it’s difficult to tell.
Still, the only one who can easily do that is me because I have Divine Vision. No one else can do that. Which makes things harder for everyone to find where the cult is hiding.
That’s why I decided to do a tour with the circus. Traveling all over the continent and find where the leader of the cult is hiding. And this is also a good chance to spread more Blobbies to other location.
This way, even if the cult knows that we can communicate long-distance, they won’t expect us to stop them early because we have a way to travel long distance in an instant. Using my portal.
If it’s a location where there’s no Blobbies I can transport to, we can ride on Spot’s back. Or maybe just me and Ray on our own, and open up a portal for the others to come.
“When will you go?” Kayla asked me.
“Thomas will inform me when he and the other performers are ready. Since the other performers are mostly agents from the four kingdoms, they will probably receive some instructions by their king beforehand. That’s why Sonia is too busy at the moment,” I said.
A circus where all the performers are agents from four different kingdoms. At first, I didn’t have any expectation on them since they are agents and not trained performers. But I guess their acting skills are so high that they became so good in their performance just after training a few months.
And it’s good that most of them now wanted to stay as circus performers instead of being agents. Though I think even if the cult has been destroyed in the future, the kings will still ask them to do something even if they focused their career on performing in the circus.
Well, whatever the kingdoms want to do with them is not my problem. But since they will be my comrade in circus, if the kings wanted to force them to do something they don’t want to do, the kings will end up making me their enemy. They know that and they don’t want that.
...I feel like I will be a tool for peace once the fight against the cult is over. Once I’m gone, I don’t know what will happen with the four kingdoms. But I don’t think there will be anything bad happening while these four people still the leaders of their own country. Though old man Henry will retire soon.
After I finished talking with the others, I returned to my room and get ready for the tour. Though I don’t know what else to prepare. I can grab anything with my portal.
Though the things I carried on my body increased. They are magic items or Aura items that have been tested and have good effects like the kunai and the walking cane.
And there’s also one item which is different than the others. It’s a consumable item so we can’t test it since we only have one. And if the effect is as Jeremy said after being appraised, this could be my secret weapon against the Evil God. Though I hope I will never use it.
And so, I waited until everything is ready. I just trained normally, and do everything as usual.
Finally, two weeks later, everything is ready. And the circus will start a long tour around the continent.
Since the circus will travel normally, it will take a long time to go around the continent. So we have no real schedule to when we will start performing in which city or which country. Just when we’re there, we will perform for a week in that city before moving again.
The duration of the tour is expected to be at least one year. Probably even two years or longer. But since we don’t have anything to do other than looking for the cult, it’s fine to waste time doing some shows.
At least one year of travel, and about one week of performing in the city. It could be less than one week as well depend on whether we can get permission to perform by the lord of the city as well. So, I need a lot of tricks to perform. Whatever that can make the audience laugh.
And tonight is the start of our tour. Obviously, we start from Cassau.
It’s the first night of our show in Cassau, and we have a week to let the people enjoy the show. But after discussing it a bit more with Thomas, we reduced it to just three nights at most in every city for the shows. The other four days is for preparation, rest, and investigation. Though we don’t need to investigate things in Cassau, we will still only hold the show at most three days a week.
And this first night, there are no civilians here. The audiences are the kings of the four kingdoms, their family members, and other agents!
“...Turns out we have powerful people just on the first night. I’m feeling nervous,” Thomas said.
Not just Thomas. The other performers were nervous as well knowing that their kings are watching them. And I also bring the family members of the performers as well to watch. Most of them are civilians so they are frozen to see that they will watch the performance together with the kings.
“...But why is the kings of the four kingdoms are sitting on the back?” One of the performers asked. He is someone from Arturo. Someone new since Arturo has just been recovered from the cult. And since there were no agents from Arturo in the circus, Toni sent this man to join. He’s the only one from Arturo and he’s already getting along with the others members of the circus.
Since he has gained Toni’s approval, I think we can trust him.
“Obviously because my guests are more important than the kings,” I replied to the man.
“...I heard about you from Prime Minister Toni and King Fabio. But I only realized it now that they are saying the truth when they said that you have no respect to the kings,” the man said.
“I have respect to them. If not, I won’t let them come here,” I said.
“...At least the kings are not unhappy. Is it true that you are too strong that the kings are afraid of you?” he asked.
“Did someone tell you that? Well, that’s true. Anyway, it’s time for the show to start. Just focus on not making mistakes. Though since I’m the greatest clown in the world, even if you did some mistakes, I can clean it up easily in a way that makes the audience laugh. Break a leg. If you can’t do it, I can do it for you. Literally,” I said to give the man confidence.
“I don’t want you to break my leg for real so I will do my best to not disappoint you. Wish me luck, Clarence!”
The man said that before he gets ready for his performance.
Now, let’s entertain my friends and the kings. Though I don’t care if the kings are not entertained.
