Chapter 144

"You're … a circus?"

The knight at the only entrance of the Great Wall looked up and down at Wang Quan's group.

"Yes, Big Gaga, is there a problem?"

Wang Quan replied in a Detective Conan style voice.

Although he felt disgusted …

But he had no choice. If he killed without a care, he would be a real retard.

He was afraid of being discovered if he used his ability.

"Darkmoon Circus …"

The knight lowered his head and looked at the innocent little boy whose face was painted with clown paint.

And the group of mutated monsters behind him.

There was also a clown with clown makeup and a green wig.

There were all kinds of people dressed as half-animal people.

There were dancers with fake animal ears.

The only normal one should be the masked female fortune-teller in a black robe.

None of them seemed to have any problems.

The knight looked past Wang Quan's group, pointed at the cages covered with black cloth, and asked, "What are those?"

"Tigers, lions, elephants, or something. Sir Knight, would you like to check?"

The one who answered him was Sword Pool Ichiro, who was dressed as a clown.

He didn't want to be a clown, but Quan Ge … no buts! He was the clown he wanted to be.

"Is that so?" The knight ordered, "Lift it a little and let me see."

Lafletia's subordinate pulled open a corner of the black cloth on one of the cages.

Two lions were lying inside.

One male and one female.

The male lion's tail was still wagging in boredom.

Seeing someone look over, the lion glanced at him and continued to lie down.

There should be no problem... The knight nodded. "Yes, but remember to pay the entrance tax. One person is fifty centimes (one franc is equal to one hundred centimes)."

"Just you wait!" Ichiro Kenike eagerly went to pay.

The knight nodded.

This clown had a Parisian accent, so it should be fine.

After paying the entrance tax, the group entered the city.

"Where are we staying?"

There might be a hotel that could accommodate 20 or 30 people, but it wouldn't be cheap.

More importantly, they also brought various beasts.

Wang Quan couldn't get rid of these beasts in the city either.

"Should we just leave the city?"

Previously, they ate the wind and drank dew along the way, or found abandoned villages to stay in.

From time to time, they would go to the town to replenish their water supply.

"Let's leave the city from the west, I have an acquaintance over there, we'll stay at her place tonight" Kesilah, who was dressed as a fortune teller, said as they walked.

No one objected.

They left the city and headed west.

About three hours later, a large manor appeared in front of them.

A castle could be vaguely seen in the depths of the manor.

Ke Xiera led them into the manor, and no servants or guards stopped them from entering.

Or rather, there were no guards here.

Wang Quan doubtfully asked: "Ke Xiela, do you know any great nobles here?"

"Ksi Nobles and Witch Witch Witch. Kesila rubbed Wang Quan's head, "Sophie is the matriarch of the Ponton family, more than a hundred years ago … something happened to her family, and I saved her life.

"Since then, she has been living here in seclusion until today."

She didn't say anything more, and Wang Quan didn't ask.

She …

The last time he saw this brand was when he saw an advertisement for Sophie sanitary pads on TV.

After walking for another hour in the manor, they finally arrived at the gate of the castle when the sun was setting.

Before Ksira could say anything, the gate of the castle opened.

Everyone followed Ksira in.

As soon as they entered, a butler wearing a silver-gray curly wig and a tuxedo, with a mustache and a goatee bowed slightly. "Welcome to the Ponton family, everyone. The master has prepared a banquet and awaits your arrival."

Ksira nodded and said to Wang Quan, "Infino, put away your magical beasts."

Can I do it in front of this butler … Wang Quan raised his eyebrows and snapped his fingers. The animals turned to ashes.

Seeing that the butler didn't react much, Wang Quan narrowed his eyes.

Then he followed Ksira to the dining room under the butler's guidance.

The castle was decorated in a standard Gothic style, with thick curtains blocking out natural light.

The interior of the castle, which was only illuminated by candles, looked gloomy.

When they entered the banquet hall, Wang Quan curled his lips.

There were many waiters standing to the side in the banquet hall.

But Wang Quan could see that, like the butler, they didn't have any life.

They were just a bunch of wooden dolls.

It was just that they were covered with a layer of fake leather that made them look like humans.

He sensed for a moment, then understood.

In this castle … the witch was probably the only one living here.

Because other than the witch and Wang Quan's group, Wang Quan didn't sense any other life forms.

"Hey, kid. It's very rude to casually explore other people's homes. " A slightly hoarse young girl's voice sounded from the end of the long dining table. "But forget it. After all, you're Ksira's disciple. You're just like her."

This voice sounds like Youmubi … Wang Quan stopped sensing and looked at the end of the dining table.

Sitting there was a girl wearing a gorgeous black lolita dress.

She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She didn't look more than twelve years old.

But from her expression and eyes, it was obvious that she wasn't a child.

"You're still the same, Sophie."

Ksira walked over, picked up Sophie, and began to rub her face like a bun.

"Let go of me!"

Sophie struggled to escape from Ksira's embrace. Then, she lifted her dress with both hands and ran to Wang Quan's side with her short legs.

But she tragically found that this wimpy kid was half a head taller than her!

"Hmph!"

The master's debt should be paid by the disciple!

She raised her leg, which was wearing a small leather shoe, and kicked Wang Quan's shin bone.

Wang Quan didn't move and took her kick head-on.

"Ahhh!!!"

With a blood-curdling scream, Sophie rolled on the ground, clutching her foot. Wang Quan could even see her knickerbockers underneath her skirt.

Wang Quan was speechless.

He looked up and squinted at Ksira with his dead fish eyes. "Are all witches as funny as you guys?"

Ksira rested her chin on her hands and smiled. "I'm just trying to keep my mind young. I'm only seventeen this year, and I'm still a pretty girl."

"As for Sophie, she's just a child at heart."

Wang Quan was speechless.

A "seventeen-year-old pretty girl" who was at least four hundred years old, and a "little loli at heart" who was at least a hundred years old … Huh?

He sighed and wiped his face, returning to his handsome shota look. Then, he walked around Sophie and sat at the long table. "You're going to Yorkshire to see another witch, right? Is she also a clown?"

"No," Ksira said in a relaxed tone. "She's different from us. Elizabeth is a young witch."

Wang Quan raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.

At that moment, Sophie limped over with tears in her eyes and sat down. She glared at Wang Quan. "What are you made of!"

"Made of meat, maybe even bones." Wang Quan smiled. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

If there was nothing, Ksira wouldn't have come.

Wang Quan knew Ksira well.

That girl … was a lazy bum!

Ksira smiled and didn't say anything.

Sophie's expression became more serious.

She took a breath and said, "I hope you can come and investigate the 'Phantom.'"

Phantom …

Wang Quan asked, "What's that?"

He knew about the Phantom of the Louvre.

"That's … a Nightmare." Sophie's expression was ugly. "It's been torturing my family for more than a hundred years."
