Chapter 46: Song of The Wind (5)

Lancelot was very popular.

In just forty minutes, he earned 86 copper coins.

Hey, isnt it Lancelot? A person who knew him finally appeared amid the crowd that had stopped to watch him play. It was a generous-looking middle-aged man with a beard. He glanced up and down at Lancelot, then said in a surprised and exaggerated tone: I didnt expect that youre really a bard and your music is this beautiful. Praise Flange. Little Bazz wont have to struggle for money now.

Jin Cheng kept smiling, ready to act according to however the situation would turn out.

The bearded man continued to sigh: Oh, Lancelot, a cold wind would never take you down. Now it seems that the sickness that you suffered when you first came to Flange was a test from Heaven. Youve completed the test and won peoples hearts. But you must know, Lancelot, those who suspect you are not out of malice. Who would have thought that a man this young can really play such wonderful music?

This person spoke enthusiastically for a long while, but Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo both agreed that he was no good man, because he wasnt willing to let go of even one copper coin.

What a cheapskate.

Jin Cheng asked: Have you seen Bazz? Im looking for him.

The bearded man: I just saw him helping people move things in front of the Wanderers Tavern. You know, Lancelot, he used to do two jobs to help you cover the cost of medicines. Hes very busy.

Tang Cuo then opened the Mission panel.

[Kingdom Hidden In The Moonlight]

The second round: Song of The Wind

Main mission: Find Bazz.

They bid goodbye to the bearded man and quickly rushed to the Wanderers Tavern.

Looking at it now, Bazz should be Red Hair, and Lancelot fell sick when he first arrived at the Principality of Flange and was given a helping hand by Bazz. Other people like that bearded man, however, didnt seem to have any respect for Lancelot. As far as Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng could guess, they probably just stood by and laughed at him.

This also meant that Lancelots performance just now should be his first.

The Wanderers Tavern wasnt far from here.

About ten minutes later, a tavern with a wind chime at the door came into their sight. The moment Jin Cheng stepped forward, the bartender immediately smiled and said: Hey, isnt this our great bard Lancelot?

This was a joke tinged with mockery. Indeed, it seemed that Lancelots days after coming to the Principality of Flange werent so smooth-sailing.

At this moment, an astonished voice came from behind the two of them: Lancelot, Theodore!

It was Bazz.

Bazz, with his cotton-like red hair, happily waved his hand and walked over. His eyes swept back and forth: Why are you here together? I wanted to introduce you two to each other. I didnt expect you to have met, it must be fate!

Tang Cuo:

Jin Cheng smiled: Isnt that right?

The bartender pursed his lips when he saw Bazz coming, then he turned around and left.

Bazz showed a look of fear and said to Tang Cuo: The attack on the Grand Duke just now had me scared silly. Luckily, Theodore was there. Theodore, I saw the entire thing, youre really a brave knight. But then I was pushed away by the crowd. After that I asked the guards and got told that everything was okay. Theodore, were you injured?

Tang Cuo shook his head: Its just a small wound. Theres nothing to worry about.

A small wound should also be taken care of. Bazz seemed like he had a say on the matter of injuries. He seemed to think of something and said worriedly: When I went to look around, I saw Dr. Alberts house surrounded by the guards. I dont know what happened, but Im oddly nervous. Oh, by the way, Lancelot, where did you go just now? I searched through the entire house and couldnt find you.

Bazz didnt seem to see Jin Cheng helping Tang Cuo and the Grand Duke to escape, thus naturally believing that Lancelot wasnt involved at all. And his words revealed something that suddenly cleared up Tang Cuos suspicion Dr. Albert.

When Lancelot went to the rented house, he might be looking for Dr. Albert.

Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng exchanged glances and both saw the same guess in the others eyes.

Jin Cheng immediately looked around. The system gave such a straightforward mission, which meant it must be extremely dangerous this time. But where was the danger hidden? He reflexively gazed at the people coming and going, but his intuition told him that it was incorrect.

At this point, Tang Cuo had received his thank you gift, which was a square wooden box the size of his palm. It looked ordinary and didnt seem to carry any magic energy.

Dont open it! Jin Cheng shouted all of a sudden.

The people in the hall of the second floor were all taken aback, and the girl at the service counter hugged her chest in shock. Only Tang Cuo could understand Jin Chengs warning.

But it was too late, the box had been opened. And it was this tiny opening that allowed Tang Cuo to see what was inside an ugly rag doll with an umbrella.

When their eyes met, the rag doll suddenly grinned.

Tang Cuo closed the box without hesitation.

Dang, dang, dang! The box trembled violently, as if the rag doll had come alive and was desperately hitting the box to get out.

Whats going on?! The girls expression was both horrified and incredulous. The Greenvines Alliance had one of the best Nullification magic formations on this continent, which could eliminate most of the magic in the world. Not to mention, the defence was tighter on the second floor, where such a tiny item cast with a little magic shouldnt be able to work at all.

Tang Cuo pressed it down unyieldingly, but the force was too great for one man to stand. A thought flashed his mind and he decisively let go of his hands, then he pulled out the [Sword of Judgment] and slashed it!

The moment the longsword broke open the box, the Holy Light of Judgment was suddenly released, its dazzling light blinding everyone that stood around for a brief moment.

Jin Cheng ran over and pushed the reception girl behind the counter, then kicked away two other men that were coming closer. In a hurry, he didnt care whether he kicked them too hard, and as he tried to clear the space, the dazzling light finally dispersed.

A black umbrella poked out from the broken box, its tip pressing against the tip of Tang Cuos sword.

Tang Cuos expression tensed up as his eyes moved from the tip of the umbrella to its handle, then to the hand holding the umbrella, where the bones were distinctly bulging up. Cold sweats were streaming down his back.

It was too strong and he couldnt resist it at all. Although the [Sword of Judgment] was in a damaged state, it was a legendary weapon. How could a mere umbrella hold against it?

Within the one second that Tang Cuo was caught in his thoughts, the person holding the umbrella gradually revealed his true form. First, it was a hand that looked too pale, then his shoulders, then his whole body. He slowly walked out of the broken box like a gentleman from ancient times, and with every step he took, he forced Tang Cuo to step back.

He wore a silver mask and was clad in a pure white suit, his long black hair tied into a low ponytail with a black lacy band, a tassel earring hanging from his right ear.

I was wondering who had spoiled my grand event. His lips slightly tugged up as he turned to look at Jin Cheng. The tassel earring swayed gently with his movements: So it was you, Lancelot.

After that, he gently pushed the tip of the umbrella and Tang Cuo was sent flying by an overwhelming force, his body smashing against a pillar in the hall.

He spit out a mouthful of blood, and one of his ribs might have broken.

It was this point that Tang Cuo saw the change in the main mission. The word Survive was blatantly simple, but looking at the current situation, it seemed extremely challenging.

He couldnt help glancing at Jin Cheng. Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, looking as though he wanted to spill a few swear words

Dear Lancelot, why is your name everywhere?

The magic circle on the ground finally reacted.

The golden arrays rippled out like water waves and magic energy surged towards Tassel Earring. But the man just turned the umbrella upside down, gently touching it on the ground like a walking stick. Then, the magic energy was completely pressed down.

He placed both hands on the umbrella handle, himself standing firmly like Ding Hai Shen Zhen [Ding Hai Shen Zhen] refers to the weapon of Sun Wukong, protagonist of the classic Chinese novel Journey To The West. It is a legendary weapon that can transform in size and expand into an infinite length, reaching even the deepest point of the sea or the highest point of the sky.. No matter how the magic formation exerted itself, it couldnt move him.

Jin Cheng had to keep smiling: This gentleman, do I know you?

You saying that really makes me sad. Tassel Earring smiled and turned the handle of the umbrella in his hands. A glaring attack broke through the shackles of the magic circle on the ground and flew towards Tang Cuo.

Tang Cuo dodged around the pillar at the very last moment and simultaneously called out the Holy Light of Judgment with all his might, taking down the impact of the magic attack with one strike. He panted, his ribs hurt, and when he raised his head again, a trace of blood could be seen at the corner of his mouth.

Of course, his expression looked bad. Very bad in fact.

Jin Cheng provoked you, and you hit me?
