Chapter 44: rose rose
"Hey, do you know where Esme is?" Igna greeted the passing clown.
Igna was in a good mood, because he was in a good mood in the past few days, whether he was making spells or digesting potions, and he even received feedback from jugglers several times.
At this rate, Igna felt that he should be able to completely digest the potion in less than two weeks. So he is now officially preparing to put the astrologer's impersonation investigation on the agenda.
Although he likes the puppet circus very much, he can't grab Esme's meal here.
Igna knew very well that although he was grateful to the puppet circus, he could not leave here.
After all, he wants to seek promotion on the path of apprenticeship. And seeking promotion, it is impossible to settle for the status of a "trick master".
So, Igna also thought about it. After he finished his studies, he would leave a sum of money for the head of the regiment. Although he left the circus, the head of the group was able to have the funds to make new investments. Refresh the circus.
In order to finish his "study" early, Igna came to the door of the divination hut early in the morning, but it was morning, the circus had not yet fully opened, and the door of the divination hut was closed.
"It should be in the main tent." The clown who was in a hurry to set up the venue stopped and replied respectfully to Igna, "I just saw her going over there."
"Thanks." Igna nodded to the clown, and hurried towards the main tent.
-
As soon as I walked into the tent, I smelled a faint smell of horse urine, sweat, and stains mixed together.
After all, it's a circus. Except for Igna's juggler's hut and divination hut, the circus can't get around this smell anywhere.
The light in the tent was obviously darker than that outside. But the light leaking from the ceiling was still enough to illuminate the center of the stage.
And the man in the center of the stage was shining enough.
She is one of the ace stars in the puppet circus.
Her name is Madeleine Kirk, nicknamed Feifei, she is the most beautiful trapeze in the puppet circus.
At this moment, she is practicing in the air. Even if she is only wearing a white training suit and doing some of the most basic movements of a trapeze while floating in the air, she is like a lark flying freely in the sky.
Igna watched Feifei practicing in the air, and couldn't take his eyes off for a moment.
It wasn't until she stepped off the streamer hanging in the air that Ignatius was able to recover his sight.
"Clap clap clap clap-" The applause sounded, moving Igna's eyes away.
Igna's eyes lit up, and the owner of the applause was the fortune-teller Esme Cullen he was looking for.
He stepped towards Esme. At the same time, Igna also noticed that Feifei was walking towards Esme.
And when the two ladies saw him, they both looked at each other, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.
The first person to greet him was Esme.
She threw a wink at Igna, and said in a teasing voice, "Yo, who brought our great miracle master here?"
Esme has Roman blood. She has exotic dark brown eyes and beautiful brown hair with big waves. Even if it is a run and teasing, Esme's expression looks charming.
Even if he was teased, Igna still smiled decently.
The former Dalot Evans, although the ace of the puppet circus. However, it did not get along well with the circus group.
Ignatius grew up in Aalto, County Warnrit, and was educated in the upper classes. When I first came to the puppet circus, it was disguised. But his upper-class temperament is still too heavy. The accent, looks, and subconscious demeanor seemed out of place with the circus staff.
The original Ignat tried to integrate into the small group of the circus, but because of his taciturn personality, he was not successful.
Even faking the background of "serving a noble family" doesn't help. If it weren't for the master of juggling, it was a profession that one person could perform. I'm afraid Ignat will not be able to stay in the puppet circus.
Therefore, it will be run by Esme at this moment, and Igna also understands.
"I want to come to you, dear Ms. Cullen." Igna did not deliberately draw closer to the relationship between the two, but said to Esme very politely with the usual attitude towards women.
Esme was stunned, as if she didn't expect Igna to react like this. And Igna continued to say the purpose of his trip as a gentleman: "I have been feeling a little uneasy recently. I wonder if I can ask you to divination for me?"
Esme raised her eyebrows and laughed lightly: "Will Mr. Dalot, who is from high society, also be uneasy?"
"Haha." Ignat pretended not to understand Esme's run, but smiled kindly. "The main reason is that I am very confused about my future during this time. So... I want to invite Miss Esme. Divination for me. I think only in this way can clear the fog in front of me." Ignatius said.
Of course, it's useless to just talk with your mouth. Ignatius twisted a rose out of his hand as he spoke. In the center of the rose, I did not forget to put three hearts made of one-soul banknotes. A total of three soli, which is three times the cost of Esme's divination for others.
Esme's eyes changed, and the smile on her face suddenly became much sweeter.
Igna smiled and handed the rose to Esme and asked, "I wonder if I have this honor?"
Esme snatched the rose that Ignat had handed in front of her.
"For Rose's sake." She gave Igna a wink.
Igna smiled, then looked at Feifei beside him. The trapeze was obviously not very happy. I don't know if it was out of jealousy or dissatisfaction. I saw her small cherry-like mouth pouted softly.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Madeleine, I'm going to borrow Ms. Esmecalen for a while." Facing Madeleine, Igna showed the same attitude towards important clients, and also reached out and rubbed in front of her. In front of Feifei, a precious snow-white rose, worth the equivalent of tenpence, appeared.
When he saw the snow-white rose, Feifei's eyes lit up, but he still curled his lips: "I only have one rose?"
Igna didn't answer, but turned over the roses with both hands. At this moment, Igna did not forget to observe Feifei's expression, he immediately saw the look of remorse and anger flash across the eyes of this proud lady.
As expected.
So, at the next moment, Igna released the small hand-made fireworks prepared in advance.
"boom--"
The colorful ribbons fell in front of the two of them, as if they were carrying out an exclusive welcome ceremony.
At this moment, Ignatius transformed the white rose out of thin air.
"My fault, how can there be a lack of ritual when presenting flowers to Ms. Feifei." Igna once again handed Rose to Feifei's eyes, but this time he didn't take it back.
Madeleine's expression finally looked much better, and her beautiful eyebrows stretched out. This time, she finally did not refuse, and her expression looked much better. Like a coquettish little girl, she raised her chin slightly, and took Bai Qiangwei proudly and reservedly: "Okay. For Qiangwei's sake."
Esme, who was next to him, did not express dissatisfaction, because only a good-looking trick was compared with Sansule, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
"Then I'll take Ms. Esme away." Ignatius said to Madeleine very politely.
"Go, let's go." Feifei waved his hands towards the two of them, "This is not an example Igna bowed and took Esme away from the main stage with grace.
-
Igna and Esme left the tent side by side.
But just as he was walking out of the tent, Igna heard a terrified scream coming from the tent.
"What's wrong?" Igna turned his head nervously and looked at the center of the stage.
Then, he saw a woman with short hair fall to the ground. Bai Ling, a trapeze performer, was wrapped around her feet, and half of her body was hung upside down in the air, but her mouth was touching the ground again, hanging on the performance Bai Ling in a very paradoxical way.
The little girl raised her head and tossed for a while before letting herself climb out of the messy white cloth. Her hair was messy and she looked very embarrassed.
"Why are you so stupid." Feifei's voice came out, sounding very disgusting.
Then, Igna recognized at a glance that the one lying on the ground was Octavia Cook, Rachel's sister.
"How can this be possible without seeing if the child is broken?" Octavia's voice sounded very frightened just now.
Ignat's footsteps stopped, and he was about to turn back immediately, but Esme took his hand and warned in a low voice, "Leave her alone."

Thank you to the friends of the Tarot Society's Ash Soil Branch for answering my many questions about mysteries.
The following is from group friends @鄄人@川曌lan
Loen Currency Purchasing Power——
1 penny = 34 yuan ≈ 3.5 yuan
1 sole = 42 yuan
1 gold pound = 840 yuan
So the roses for Feifei ≈ 35 yuan
