Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 7 007 Candy
After the circus performance ended, the guests left the auditorium one after another.

Tang sat there for a while before he stood up and passed by the man in black robe who was sitting next to him.

“The audience.”

Most of the ways to play the Fool seem to be related to the audience's applause and recognition.

Tang was thinking about this matter and his eyes were fixed on his surroundings. The pointed tent looked poorly managed and dilapidated. He did not notice that the black-robed man behind him tilted his head slightly and looked at him.

Tang shook his head and left.

……

After a busy day, the circus's director, Humphrey Duke, counted the amount of money he had received today and could only sigh silently.

"It's getting worse day by day. I don't know how much longer this circus can last."

He thought wistfully.

As the most important source of income for a circus, the ticket prices of customers, although he had set the ticket prices quite low, in this era of hunger, not many poor people were willing to pay even for a few pennies.

Staying in the same place for a long time will only lead to a continuous reduction in daily passenger flow.

Customers are always picky. There are only a few things in the circus, and even the most fond customers will get tired of it one day.

But changing to another place... To be honest, Humphrey Duke, who knew something about the dark side of this world, felt that this was not appropriate. Moreover, there was not enough money to support him to travel across mountains and rivers to leave Tingen and go to other areas.

There is only half a month left in the lease of the venue, and if he cannot find a way to turn the situation around during this period, the circus will have no choice but to disband.

But if it disbands, what will happen to these children?
"Captain."

The chubby little girl came out from behind the curtain backstage with a big smile on her face. Humphrey Duke was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and touched her head. At the same time, he took out a not-so-sweet candy from his pocket like a magic trick and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Captain!" The little girl took the candy with great surprise, but did not eat it. Instead, she said, "Captain, a guest said he wants to talk to you."

"Guest?" Humphrey Duke frowned in confusion. "Please ask him to come over."

He stood up and prepared to go see who it was.

The visitor was a man of medium stature wearing a black hood. No one knew what the guest talked about with the tour leader. When the tour leader walked out of the tent, he had an indescribable excitement on his face and a black box in his hand.

……

Don returned to Viscount Becker's mansion, found Mrs. Boyanka, and left with her.

Afterwards, the mother and son went to the commercial street which had just opened not long ago. The commercial street was quite standard, with no stench of decaying corpses and no homeless people begging everywhere. They bought a lot of things and planned to return to their territory from Tingen City before dark.

There was no intention of staying out overnight; neither Don nor Mrs. Boyanka had any such intentions.

After a day's journey, Mrs. Boyanka was a little tired. There was silence in the carriage along the way. Tang opened the things he had bought on the road and put some sugar with black mixed in it into his mouth.

He chewed the piece of candy said to be 'the sweetest candy in Tingen City' with an expressionless face, and cursed in his heart, feeling cheated.

Having said that, I still have very good teeth and can chew the candy very crunchy.

Mrs. Boyanka looked at her little son in confusion, and Tang immediately handed the candy in his hand to his mother.

Mrs. Boyanka was puzzled, but she smiled and accepted the food from her little son.

"It seems that the schedule for purifying sugar really needs to be moved up a bit."

Nothing dangerous happened during this period, and the carriage drove back to the castle safely.

Perhaps the demons' sense of danger saved them, and they didn't rush forward to die. Tang was disappointed. System: "Are there not enough marionettes?"

"I can only control one Marionette now. If there are more, I won't be able to control them all."

So even if it comes, we can only kill it, extract its extraordinary characteristics, and see what magical items the system's "craftsmen" can make.

"Then you could consider an occultist/alchemist. That way, you won't have to worry about the number of marionettes..."

Tang: "...Can you turn into a secret puppet?"

Tongzi: "No, no ...

Tang: “Ugh—”

After returning to the castle built entirely of black and blue stone bricks, Tang returned to his room and prepared to rest.

"I think we should make something in advance, what do you think, Tongzi?"

He probably won't leave here in the short term. Many things that he had not considered before can now be carefully considered while digesting the potion.

Now it seems that he can't let Emperor Roselle do everything. That would take many years, and he feels he can't wait.

For example, something like toilet paper...

"Also, we need to start preparing the magic potion for the Trickster."

Whether it is looking for extraordinary characteristics left by other strange wizards or mixing potions by yourself, it also takes time.

Moreover, the magician's ritual involves a demigod-level extraordinary person, which also takes a lot of time.

Once he enters this level, his life level will also be transformed, and he will become a half-god, half-human being.

'The relevant knowledge is ready, host. If necessary, the knowledgeable person will be of greater help to you.'

"You mean the God of Craftsmen? That's one way."

Tang felt that it was not impossible to cooperate with the Church of the God of Craftsmen, although this would somewhat steal the show from Emperor Roselle.

But he had been avoiding these Orthodox Churches all along. Antigonus was currently being hunted down by the forces of the Church of the Evernight Goddess. As a Sequence Five of the Fool's Path, he might also be implicated if he were discovered.

Moreover, Antigonus now has two copies of the Sequence One potion, and the uniqueness is also there.

The other potion has not yet been released by the great being above the spiritual world.

"Don't worry about Sequence One. After all, I'm not even a demigod yet."

He took a shower, stuffed the chains on his body back into the system space, and was just about to climb onto the bed and let his nature run wild when there was a knock on the door.

The personal maid said softly, "Master Eggers, Master Owen wants to see you."

This point?
Tang: "...Can I tell him off?"

"Family is a warm harbor. Only when the father is righteous and the mother is kind, and the brothers are friendly and respectful, can the family harmony be maintained."

The system's artificial electronic sound rang out.

Wow, really wow, he even forgot about the negative effects of the magical item.
