House Witch

“The Circus of the Heart? There are not many circuses in the witch world. I actually really want to see it.”

Although she felt a little bad in her heart, Ifrit didn't really panic. Instead, she looked at the ticket in her hand with some interest.

There are quite a few circuses in the mortal world. After all, for weak mortals, performances such as spitting fire and water, or beasts such as lions and tigers are already very strange things, enough to attract many people. Watch in front.

But these low-level performances are obviously not enough to surprise the witches. Therefore, the circus in the witch world is not easy to do. Although there are some, the number is actually quite rare. Anyway, there used to be no circuses in this Night City.

If possible, Miss Enma Witch would really like to see it. After all, she was very curious about these things when she was in the orphanage as a child. This can be regarded as one of her childhood regrets.

"Captain, I advise you to give up this plan as soon as possible. If this is really just an ordinary circus, why do you need to alert the Night Watch Special Operations Team? This is why I am here."

 Looking at the eager look on the Balrog Witch's face, Lucia couldn't help but remind her.

Her mission was originally confidential, but since her identity had just been exposed and the key mission props were now in the opponent's hands, she had no choice but to reveal a little bit of information to the opponent.

"This Circus of the Heart is very dangerous. They are not an ordinary circus, but more like some kind of urban legend?"

“Huh? You are getting more and more outrageous. Are you still talking about an urban legend?”

Ifrit blinked, a little confused.

There are no urban legends in the witch's territory. Even if there are, it's probably just a prank by a strong person.

 Lucia: "."

Miss Vampire Witch didn't speak. Her expressionless face just stared at the captain, her eyes conveying the meaning of "Do you want to listen?"

She hates being interrupted the most

 “Okay, okay, you continue, I’ll shut up.”

Miss Balrog Witch shrugged, and then made a gesture of pulling the zipper on her mouth, indicating that she would never speak again.

 She is really curious about this circus of the heart now.

Although witches are indeed an extraordinary race, the power gap between them is also really big. Most ordinary witches will not reach the threshold of 30w mana for a great witch in their lifetime, while the strong ones above the great witch are Compared with ordinary witches, they are almost two races.

Hence, if you want to create urban legends in the territory of witches, you have to be a big witch.

For example, Ifrit herself can create an urban legend of a vengeful flame spirit that chases evildoers at midnight if she wants to.

Hmm, Circus of the Heart, right? You successfully caught my attention.

 Seeing that the somewhat annoying captain finally shut up, Lucia spoke again.

“This circus started appearing last month, with performances once a week. There have been six performances so far, and the seventh one is about to begin.”

"The location of each of their performances is also different. They will appear randomly in a certain neighborhood in Night City. However, before each performance starts, they will issue tickets to the selected guests, which is the letter in your hand. .”

"It's just that every time there are always a few lucky spectators who never come back, and even those lucky ones who come back often lose their memory of the inside of the circus. They just vaguely feel that they have done something. Sweet dreams.”

 “It sounds pretty good, it’s even more interesting.”

Ifrit’s voice sounded again, and Miss Balrog Witch’s eyes were shining.

 Lucia: "."

 Miss Vampire Witch was really a little angry when she was interrupted again. Her already plump **** almost became more thrilling because of the deep breath she took to suppress her anger. The Balrog Witch Little Potato couldn't help but look down at herself.

Well, my boots were polished very bright today.

"Interesting? What if I told you that four or five nobles from the Thirteenth Clan have been included, including two earls?"

 Lucia, who finally controlled her temper, spoke again.

The Bloody Count, that is the best among the big witch. Both are folded into the two. She thinks that this should make this sense of crisis none of them a little serious.

However.

“Well, since the earls have already folded in, the grandpas above will send you the viscount to deliver it?”

Ifrit scratched his head, then looked at Lucia, and asked in return.

  Miss Vampire Witch: "."

 No, is this the point? Do you understand that what I want to say is that the Circus of the Heart is dangerous?

Lucia, who has always paid great attention to her aristocratic elegance and dignity, was going crazy at this time. If she hadn't really been unable to defeat this abominable Balrog, she would have wanted to take action directly.

“You don’t need to worry about this, Captain. I dare to take on this task, and I am confident that I can complete it. So, can you give me this ticket? I can continue the task.”

She lost her patience and stated her request directly.

The reason why Lucia hid her identity and came to this most marginalized and backward neighborhood in Night City was because someone above predicted that the venue for the next performance of the Heart Circus would be here.

 This time, the special operations team also sent a lot of people to lurk in this neighborhood, just waiting for the circus to appear and take it down.

No one in this night city can challenge the power of the Thirteenth Clan. Since they dare to attack the Thirteenth Clan’s people, they must be prepared to pay the price.

According to the ticket issuance rules for the past few performances of the circus, someone from the nearby vampire witches will definitely receive the tickets, and then they can go in and see what these bold and arrogant people are doing.

　　However, Lucia did not expect that she did not receive the ticket, but that the temporary captain did.

She subconsciously wanted to get the captain's ticket so that she could have a chance to enter the venue and find out.

"No, this is mine. I have always wanted to go to a circus show since I was a child. Well, now that I have a rare opportunity, I won't give up. Besides, aren't they just the two counts? It's not like I didn't beat you up. Pass"

Ifrit flatly rejected the request of the eldest vampire witch, and she almost spilled the beans.

Hmm, she wants to say who is not a top account?

The Blood Count is actually like that, right?

 Lucia: "."

 Captain, you just wanted to say that you beat the earl, right? You must want to say this, right?

The eldest lady of the vampire witch's eyes widened and she looked sharply at the captain of the Balrog witch opposite.

She didn't doubt whether the other party was bragging. After all, the fighting power of the Balrog Witch was obvious to all the Demon Witches. In terms of absolute violence and destructive power, these guys could definitely be ranked among the top of all the Demon Witches.

Furthermore, this captain is also a titled witch who is equivalent to a count. With the same strength, it is not difficult to understand that she can defeat one or two counts.

 But you actually dare to attack the Thirteenth Clan and challenge the power of the Thirteenth Clan?

Lucia looked angrily at the captain opposite, who was looking down at the envelope with a guilty conscience. She decided to suppress her anger first, and when she got the tickets, she would backhand report this arrogant person as well.

However, before she could open her mouth again to try to seduce her, she saw that the Balrog Witch had stretched out her nails, then easily scratched the seal on the envelope, opened the envelope, and took out an invitation letter. “Emmm, let’s take a look. At six o’clock tonight, the Circus of the Heart is waiting for the respected Lord Ifrit to come to the Monica Square to support us. To show our sincerity, I offer you two tickets.”

Miss Balrog Witch glanced at the contents of the invitation letter, and then took out two shrunken clown mask-like things from the envelope. These things should be the so-called tickets.

“Well, there’s no need to argue now. There are actually two tickets. If you can pretend that you haven’t heard anything before, then I’ll give you one. How about we go together after get off work tonight, so I can take care of you.”

Ifrit waved these two exquisitely crafted tickets in front of the eldest vampire witch’s eyes and said so.

She is actually not very afraid of this guy going back to complain. She mainly wants to take care of him after entering the scene. Although she is indeed quite confident in her own strength, she does not think highly of the so-called vampire earl.

 But you should be more careful in places where the two vampire counts could overturn. Take the eldest vampire witch with you first. If there is real danger, use her to block the knife.

Miss Balrog Witch thought so in her heart.

Although her idea is not that of the Balrog at all, and other Balrog witches are not so fancy, but who makes her a special Balrog witch?

On the side, Lucia, who had no hope for the tickets, immediately raised her head when she heard this.

"I swear on the honor of the Vanzhuo family that I will not pursue the past matters again, and I will definitely cooperate with you, captain, after entering the field."

The eldest vampire witch lady was afraid that the captain would regret it later, so she said this quickly.

 She didn't doubt whether there was a deception involved. After all, everyone knew that the Balrogs didn't have the brains to deceive. Their minds were full of lava.

However, her reaction made Ifrit narrow her eyes slightly.

 Swear on family honor? Is this young Viscount a real person? She looks quite young, I'm afraid she hasn't been around for a long time, haha, the flowers in the greenhouse are pinched.

 She was sarcastic in her heart.

　　Then I felt slightly unhappy. After all, seeing such little white flowers always makes people feel uneasy.

 Fortunately, Balrog's conscience is also made of magma.

In this way, after the transaction was concluded, the two of them stopped talking. After a while, other team members also came to report one by one. What made Ifrit relieved was that the other members were really cute. Nothing happened again.

Time passed by as Lucia looked up at her watch from time to time. Soon, it was time to get off work.

Miss Vampire Witch stood up immediately, and then came to the captain's desk under the surprised eyes of all the new teammates, and then said.

 “Hurry up, we have to get there early and a lot of things need to be arranged.”

 Ifrit, who was dozing off, could only rub her sleepy eyes, and then vaguely thought of the previous agreement.

 “Oh, okay, let’s go.”

 She yawned, then jumped down from the chair, looked up at Lucia, and nodded.

 “Let’s go.”

 The two of them left with the gossipy eyes of others in the office.

After a long time, there was a burst of cheers in the office.

　　Okay, the captain will take the lead and get off work on time. It’s great that this team doesn’t have to work overtime.

On the other side, Ifrit and Lucia quickly arrived at Monica Square. However, what surprised them was that there was no circus in the square, but there were quite a lot of passers-by.

Many people were feeding the pigeons by the fountain in the center of the square, and some were playing musical instruments not far away. Some idle witches nearby were simply dancing to the music.

Hmm, it’s just a normal square, no problems.

 But the problem is that it was half past five when they got off work, and now it is only ten minutes before the promised six o'clock, so why didn't the Heart Circus come over in advance to prepare the venue?

The Balrog Witch and the Blood Witch looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Ifrit finally felt that the Circus of the Heart was a bit like an urban legend, and it was indeed quite unique.

 “Are your people ready?”

 She raised her head and looked at the eldest vampire witch next to her, and then asked.

At this, Lucia was shocked. She didn't tell the captain that she had brought other people with her. How did the captain know?

However, she had sworn on the honor of her family to cooperate well, so she didn't hide it, so she nodded directly.

“When I went to work, I already informed them to get in place in advance. As soon as the circus of the heart appears, it will be impossible to escape.”

The tone of the vampire witch lady was very confident. After all, the team she brought this time was quite luxurious, with five earls, a dozen viscounts, and even a marquis secretly paying attention.

With this configuration, tell me how to lose?

 “I hope so.”

Seeing Lucia's confident look, Ifrit didn't say much. She just squinted her eyes and glanced around.

Well, there are indeed a lot of people lurking around, and besides those vampire witches, there are also a lot of people in the square who seem to be waiting for something.

Probably they are the lucky spectators who received the same invitation as the two of them.

The ten minutes passed quickly, but until 5:59, they still did not see the shadow of the circus, and just when they began to wonder if they had been tricked. , six o'clock arrived.

　　hum.

The clown mask tickets in their hands suddenly trembled, and then the clown laughed and turned into an eye.

The position of the eyes is transparent.

Ifrit raised the eye with some curiosity, then placed it on her own eyes, observing the square through the transparent eyes.

 She just tried it subconsciously.

However, the next moment, the scenery in the square in front of her changed drastically. All the passers-by and pigeons disappeared. The huge square was now covered with various tents, and a huge circus was stationed there. Here, it's brightly lit.

Just at the entrance of the circus, a witch with clown makeup on her face stood there, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

“Hehehe, welcome to the Circus of the Heart. Please believe that we will make your stay an unforgettable night.”

The clown laughed playfully, and then while stroking his chest and bending down, he expressed his welcome in a sharp and sharp voice.

 The circus is opening (end of this chapter)
