Demon Sage

v4 Chapter 72: unexpected encounter

The wheels wrapped in iron rolled over the wide road, and the small stones splashed out, and I didn't know what they hit, making a creaking sound.

​​

A carriage with an elegant appearance, but a lot of smoke and dust on the outer wall shuttles through the streets full of cars and pedestrians, somewhat abrupt.

​​

"Huh~ I haven't been in the city for more than half a month. The atmosphere here makes me miss it quite a bit."

​​

Donald looked at the city scenery outside through the car window... There is nothing to see. As a city developed with minerals, the industrial structure of Rock Castle is destined that this city can only become a city of heavy industry, and this It means that the appearance of the whole city will never look good, at least not under the decoration of those big chimneys with billowing black smoke.

​​

Of course, for Donald, who spent most of the month in the wasteland and remote towns, this kind of city is already a very good resting place.

​​

"We'll act separately later."

​​

Sharis maintained her usual elegance, looked at Donald and said.

​​

"According to the plan you said earlier, shouldn't you take me to meet your friend next?"

​​

Donald pursed his lips at the sudden request made by Charis, and asked back.

​​

"I'll take you to see her, but that's only after I communicate with her and ask for her consent. I remember I should have told you before that her situation is somewhat similar to mine. Friends...just friends!"

​​

The implication of these words is very clear, the relationship between Xia Ruisi and the other party is not good enough to bring a stranger to visit at will.

​​

Of course, to say that there is no desire to avoid Donald discussing something with her friends first, Donald would not believe it.

​​

It's just that it's all here, and Donald wasn't going to turn his back on Sharis at the end, so after a little hesitation, he raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the compartment behind him. Barlow, who was driving in front, immediately stopped the car knowingly.

​​

"I'm waiting for your reply, but please don't make me wait too long. I've always been a patient person, but it's on something worth waiting for."

​​

Opening the car door and getting off at the entrance of a restaurant, feeling the noise of the crowd coming towards him, Donald pressed his silk top hat and quickly turned his eyes to a nearby cafe.

​​

A cup of hot, bitter coffee and a few plates of delicate little cakes.

​​

Near the window, Donald looked at the people passing by outside, occasionally turning his eyes to the things on their cheeks and hands, thinking about the work of these people or what they were going to do.

​​

The bitterness and sweetness are intertwined in the mouth, and the taste is not sure how much better than the barbecue and the vegetable soup in the town. It feels very good.

​​

"Sir, since what you ordered has already exceeded 2 shillings, here is the coupon we give away for the concerts today and tomorrow."

​​

The waiter at the cafe put a long card on the table and said with a smile.

​​

"Concert?"

​​

He picked up the card and glanced at it, and found that there was a game at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already 12:30 noon. If there were no accidents at Xia Ruisi's place, it would probably take half a day, so he shook the card and asked,

​​

"Is it nice, I don't want to spend money to find guilt for my ears."

​​

"Of course, this is a concert at the Castle of the Rock, which used to be a highly sought-after event...only now it's not so perfect because of some changes in the city, but I promise you it won't let you down Yes, after all, although the place will change, the artists living in the local area still haven’t left.”

​​

The waiter seemed quite confident about the concert, and introduced a little pride on his face.

​​

"Sounds not bad, I'll take a look."

​​

After eating another piece of pastry, Donald was thinking about where to pass the time while he was waiting. Whether the concert was good or not, at least it was better than sitting in this cafe for an afternoon.

​​

With a goal in mind, Donald naturally wouldn't continue to sit still. After drinking coffee, he got up and left.

​​

Walking around the street with Finger, the latter has been staying in the carriage for a long time, rarely letting the wind out, but now he finally landed, and he was very jubilant, spinning back and forth beside Donald, sniffing the mixed air in the air. Smell, look for a wooden box by the roadside to grind your claws.

​​

Donald is also enjoying this rare private leisure time at this time. This journey with Xia Ruisi is undoubtedly exhausting. The two seem to be cooperative allies, but the level of trust between them still needs to be marked. Question marks, although each has compromises, but beware is always indispensable.

​​

"Stop the industrial invasion!"

​​

"Art needs more living space!"

​​

"Stop the industrial invasion!"

​​

......

​​

Turning a street corner, there was a parade on the road chanting slogans. Donald stood aside and watched for a while and found that there were still quite a few people, and most of them were well-dressed young or middle-aged people, and occasionally they could watch. to a few old ladies and old gentlemen.

​​

The things these people are calling for are written on the slogans they hold in their hands, which is roughly to let the government on the Rock Castle side stop industrial expansion and restore this art city to its former glory.

​​

What really attracted Donald was the mixed band in front of the team, which was probably formed to show the importance of art. They were playing some movements while walking, which was surprisingly pleasant, surrounded by people who stopped and stopped just like Donald. is the best proof.

​​

"We are a rock castle. In the past, artists from the surrounding areas scrambled to come to us to hold concerts as a honor, but now we have to beg each other... What is this, it's all in the government Those idiots who made this city what it is now!"

​​

Someone was complaining to his companions on the side of the road, and his companions were obviously very dissatisfied. He talked about the physical damage caused by the black smoke from the factory, and it quickly resonated quite widely.

​​

There is no doubt that the development of industry is not all good.

​​

But Donald doesn't have the time to pay attention to this now. At first, he just stopped because of curiosity, but as he followed the parade for a while, he unexpectedly found that his mental state had some positive changes.

​​

Maybe normal people will have such a change in their mood when they hear beautiful music, but Donald is different. As an awakened wizard, his will is not so easily shaken. You must know that if he is prepared, even Stefani's talent effects can't shake his mental state, how could such an ordinary music team make him change.

​​

There is only one possibility, some people in this music team are heretics or some other capable person!

​​

In the same way, the effect of music that can transform the spirit of a wizard of Donald's level on ordinary people is needless to say. After walking two streets, there are many more people joining the parade or intoxicating people in music.

​​

Donald followed and observed for a while, and soon he found that not only in the music group, but also in the parade behind it, there were also several silver banjo pendants decorated with leaves hanging around their necks.

​​

This is a token, Donald is sure of it, but he couldn't remember what this emblem represented for a while. I don't know if he had never seen this information before or if his memory was too long and he couldn't remember it clearly.

​​

Fortunately, this doesn't seem to be an evil spell. The effect of these music is only to make people feel happy and involuntarily want to listen to it for a while. So it seems that some people in the parade want to use this method to increase their momentum. .

​​

Donald doesn't mean to stop this, even if he himself is supporting the industrialization of his own city, but that doesn't mean he likes this kind of big factory that destroys the environment.

​​

After asking the passersby next to him that the parade would always go to the place where the concert was held to give speeches, Donald didn't mean to leave, he just followed, right as a walk to pass the time.

​​

Rock Castle Grand Theater~lightnovelpub.net~ the end of the parade. When Donald arrived here, he found that there were already many people standing in the Grand Theater Square. Apart from the audience who were walking inside, there were also some people who might be professional I came to listen to the speech, and when I stood in front of the theater, I saw that it was in front of a temporary wooden platform, waiting for the speaker to appear.

​​

Naturally, Donald would not listen to this kind of speech. When he got outside the theater, he immediately prepared to go in. Now there are only a few minutes left before the concert starts.

​​

However, when he was near the door, he stopped, and his brows involuntarily knit together.

​​

Turning to the two people at the main entrance of the theater, they squinted at them. The two also noticed Donald's presence, looked at each other, and walked towards him quickly.

​​

"These guys can really be seen everywhere. Is the world outside in such a mess?"

​​

Donald never thought that he just wanted to watch a concert, and the ticket checkers at the gate would actually be two demon contractors. With the magic tome of domination, he locked them in almost immediately. On the contrary, The two also noticed him.

​​

Pulling Finger into his arms, Donald raised his finger to the two men, palm facing up, hooked his index finger, and immediately stepped back to leave. Such a crowded square is really not a good place to start.

​​

He, who had not fought for a long time, was unexpectedly excited at this time!
