Chapter 225: Loraine’s Magical Spell
Translator: Lonelytree
The time was tonight.
Considering that the theatre in Marsh Water City was indeed famous in the south, Matthew reluctantly agreed.
He immediately booked a room with the boss and explained the situation to Lara. The latter said that she also wanted to explore the city.
Thus, both sides split up.
Lorraine dragged Matthew to buy tickets for the night.
Lara, on the other hand, walked deeper into the stone door alone.
Southern Theater.
There was a long queue outside the ticket office.
The men, women, and children in the queue were generally in good spirits, and their clothes were cleaner than the ordinary people on the street.
“They are probably the servants of the influential people in Marsh Water City.
They are here to buy tickets for their masters.”
Lorraine pointed around them and said,
“This theatre is very famous. The last time we came, their circus and a few important actors were invited to tour a few cities in the north. They just returned a few days ago. Tonight’s performance was the first since the tour team had returned. It was said that they had prepared a new script, costumes, and performance format for this. It is really exciting!
“You can see how popular this place is with so many people lining up.
“Of course, if their script and performance can please or even impress me, I will naturally not be stingy with my applause. However, if the result disappoints me, I will have to harshly criticize them!”
Matthew saw a poster next to the ticket office.
In the centre of the poster was a handsome man with a bright smile. He showed two rows of white teeth and had a fake island background behind him. The man was surrounded by several young girls who were completely naked.
For some reason, Matthew felt that this layout was familiar.
“Brandon White, the top star of the Southern Theater, is a killer who specialized in capturing female audiences. In the Marsh City and the surrounding cities, from ninety-year-old women to nine-year-old girls, everyone likes him.”
Loraine whistled.
“But I think his smile is a little unnatural. His body movements are not as good as that clown over there!”
Matthew took a look and found half a clown’s face in the corner of the poster. They looked like an insignificant character. And right above the poster was the name of the show.
[A particularly wonderful story.]
“Let’s go buy tickets.”
Lorraine walked straight to the ticket office.
He found the person at the front of the queue and handed over a handful of gold coins. “It won’t take up too much of your time to queue up again, sir.” The man looked very angry when Loraine patted him on the shoulder.
But soon, his face was filled with joy. “Of course! Of course! You’re right, sir.
I’m happy to queue again.”
After saying that, he left the queue and swapped places with Loraine. Lorraine proudly flashed his glittering biceps at Matthew.
“Hello, sir. How many tickets?”
Perhaps it was because she had seen the scene just now. The ticket seller’s attitude was very good.
“Two tickets. I want the best seats.”
Lorraine casually placed his arm on the window of the ticket office.
The ticket seller took a quick glance at his chest and blushed.
One hundred and twenty gold coins, sir. You can choose to be in the first row to get a close experience or the second row where there is more room. Or you can have a room on the second floor. The view there is better, and it’s quieter.
No matter what you and your partner do, no one will disturb you.”
“Only 120? It’s not as expensive as I thought,” said Lorraine, grinning.
He fumbled around in his bag for a while and grabbed a bunch of gold coins of different shapes and sizes.
“Is this Naga’s gold coin? Sorry, sir, we only accept standard gold coins from the Alliance of Seven Saints.”
Lorraine was a little dissatisfied. He immediately slapped a gold brick in front of the ticket seller and said,
“Then do you accept this?”
The ticket seller was dumbfounded. She said in a daze, “This, this, I have to ask the Guild Leader.”
Matthew went over to stop her.
“What’s wrong?” he asked Loraine.
“I’ve run out of Alliance gold coins. She doesn’t accept Naga’s gold coins or gold bricks. Do I have to find someone who can exchange them for gold coins now?”
Loraine complained and looked at Matthew.
“Do you have any gold coins on you?”
Matthew counted for a long time before handing over the full amount of gold coins.
“Thank you. I’ll take it as a loan. I’ll find a currency exchange place tomorrow and return the money to you.”
Lorraine paid and kept the gold bricks and Naga gold coins.
He took two tickets from the dizzy conductor and handed one of them and a yellow book to Matthew. “Book of Abundance?”
Matthew was a little surprised.
“Of course, you need collateral for the loan.”
Loraine smiled and patted his shoulder.
“Let’s go, Matthew. Let’s go back to the inn to talk before my gold bricks attract more bandits. I also need to go back to store my treasures.” The two of them had just taken a few steps forward.
Matthew could feel a lot of people following behind him. Moreover, these people were suspected to be from different forces.
“Is this the charm of gold bricks?”
He looked at Lorraine with envy.
The latter was still holding his head high and walking fearlessly.
When they were two streets away from Jungle Dance Inn, Lorraine even took the initiative to take Matthew to the side alley!
A moment later.
Loraine looked at the empty alley in surprise and said, “What’s going on? Are bandits not interested in gold anymore?”
Matthew smiled as he walked past him and patted Loraine on the back. “Let’s go. Maybe the pickpockets have become smarter.”
At the same time.
In an alley two streets away.
After a dull thud.
The last pickpocket fell into the crowd in a sorry state.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground in the alley. They were either unconscious or too weak to move. They could only lie on the ground and moan.
And the culprit of all this was a black-robed man wearing a cloak.
After doing all this, he turned around and left.
However, just as the man in black was about to walk out of the alley.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Under the shocked gazes of the pickpockets.
He silently turned back.
That skeleton, without any flesh and blood, began to touch the weak bodies of the pickpockets!
