Chapter 9 Fire Breathing Talent(1/2)
More than a month later.
The circus arrived at the third base of this trip.
This is a city that is slightly inferior to Rosak City. It is slightly smaller in scale and has shorter city walls, but there are all types of shops in the city.
There is also a fountain square in the center of the city.
Xia Zuo and the other members had a tacit understanding and cooperated with the strongman Popai to carry the props and set up a tipi tent in the square together.
After completing the gripping training on the miniature elastic ball, I gained 1 point of strength attribute.
He moved things more easily, but he was always careful.
Whether it is tent stakes or cables, stage cushions or wooden weapons, handle them with care to avoid spending money on repairs...
The eldest sister has clear rewards and punishments in this regard. If anyone damages a prop, he has to pay for a new one or hire a craftsman to repair it.
Fortunately, the suitcase in which Vers prepared the fire-breathing agent was carried by himself, without the help of Xia Zuo or other members.
Vers clenched his hands into fists and joined them together.
Xia Zuo followed Wells's instructions and arranged the fire rings in a circle. Snake coated the fire rings with flammable chemicals.
While Fels was playing with the potion bottle, Xia Zuo secretly took a look into the suitcase. Inside was a set of simple alchemy instruments, a small bottle of ready-made fire-breathing potion and several boxes of potion.
What's more, Xia Zuo is hardworking and sensible.
"Okay, eldest sister."
When Xia Zuo walked out of the low tent, in addition to his longing for fire-breathing, he also had expectations for the income from this performance.
Fortunately, this potion is not for drinking. It is a prop for fire-breathing performances. The actual use is to hold it in your mouth and spit it out.
Vers' personal remuneration was close to 1,000 copper coins, of which more than 400 came from those two solo performances.
The detection technique gave back a series of question marks, and even the negative effects could not be predicted. It was obviously because the perception was too low and the knowledge of alchemy was too little.
Selling tickets, collecting money and accounting, carrying groceries, cooking, everything is done without complaint. I work harder than anyone else, my hands and feet are flexible, and I learn things quickly.
He broke free from his astonishing chest, put his arms on his knees, and breathed heavily, "Eldest sister, huh~huh~ why, huh~ said that I have, huh~ the talent of breathing fire?"
Fars stood in the center of the fire ring, first spitting out a long flame, and then slowly turned around after lighting the first fire ring in front of him.
For Xia Zuo, this small bottle of potion would almost certainly lead to death after drinking it.
"When people breathe, they unconsciously store a small amount of air in their bodies.
"Xia Zuo, go and change the price list." Audrey looked at the boy who had recovered from the performance.
Tickets for the Spitfire show are the best-selling. Many people come here specifically to see the performance in Vails. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell the tickets if they become more expensive.
180 blood points deducted in 60 minutes...
A unique charm of fire-breathing people took root in Xia Zuo's heart.
Xia Zuo had to put up a "temporary departure" sign and ran backstage to ask the eldest sister.
"Eh? Talent?" Xia Zuo blinked.
"Including the warm-up show, that's three shows. How about setting the ticket price for the fire-breathing show at 12 copper coins?" Audrey said while counting on her fingers.
Xia Zuo clung to the waves and felt the warmth and softness of his chest.
Xia Zuo hung the new price list on the carriage.
"Do you want to use this program instead of the roast chicken, or add it after the roast chicken?" Audrey asked Snake to take away the fire ring.
Before tonight's rehearsal, Vers changed into performance clothes for the first time.
"Little guy, you really surprised me..."
As soon as he opened the curtain of the low tent, he saw Viles drinking a light blue potion, and Snake, who was about to appear, was whispering to the green snake.
The air flow from the mouth actually inflated the empty leather bag!
"Ah hahaha, I didn't expect you to have the talent of breathing fire!!"
Every time Vers makes a fire-breathing potion, he only uses two or three drops of red potion. If he wants the fire to be stronger, he will add a few more drops.
"Huh~~~" Xia Zuo's face turned red and he tried his best to compress his lungs.
Instead of wasting time and energy on less profitable acrobatics, it is better to make good use of [Immortal Body], endure more hardships, and develop the true ability to breathe fire.
When Xia Zuo saw this scene, he clenched his hands subconsciously, his palms full of sweat.
【HP】20/20(Health)
20 health points can only last about 7 minutes.
Vers made a no-questions-asked gesture and then left the stage.
Xia Zuo looked at his character template.
Audrey stared into the boy's black eyes, "As long as you are a member of the circus, the tutorials and tools will always be yours."
No one knows better than her how important a fire breather trained by the circus itself is.
Maybe the posters had an effect, or maybe the residents were tired of watching the previous fire-breathing performances, so the tickets sold out faster after the price increase!
"Only an extremely rare number of people can exhale the remaining air. The vast majority of people cannot press this part of air out of their bodies no matter how hard they try.
Vers nodded heavily and made an affirmative gesture.
Audrey called the members together, "Everyone, Fars wants to try out the new fire-breathing show. Poppy, you and the Clown brothers and sisters will come on later. Snake and Xia Zuo, go prepare five fire rings and
Bracket.”
"I am willing to learn to breathe fire, and I also like the circus life very much. I want to make a living with everyone. But, eldest sister, why don't I learn from Vers?"
Vers thought for a few seconds and made a gesture to increase the number of games by two.
In the days when there were no fire breathers, the clown brothers and sisters would perform fire hoops, so these props are all ready-made.
His eyes widened, filled with scenes of burning fire, imagining that he was surrounded by a ring of fire and enjoying the pleasure of burning with his own hands in the heat wave.
What Vers did was too dangerous.
At this moment, something strange seemed to bloom from the body of this bald man surrounded by fire.
Audrey stroked the boy's black hair affectionately, "Vars also redeemed it from the Warriors Guild. He can't speak, so it's definitely not convenient for him to teach you. It's better for me to prepare the things and teach you with my own hands."
One minute later, Audrey changed into her performance clothes and stood in front of the flamethrower, "Vars, your performance is very popular and the tickets have been sold out in advance. Do you want to increase the number of solo performances? I'll ask the clown sister
Helping you warm up."
After waiting until the fire ring naturally extinguished, Audrey stepped forward and asked Vails: "How do you feel? Are you sure it's safe?"
With the help of [Immortal Body], even if you are burned by the fire, it will be fine. As long as the blood volume is restored, the body will be completely repaired. Not to mention the hair and eyebrows are burned off, even if the throat is damaged, it is not a problem.
"The Versian-style intermediate fire-breathing potion will cause physical damage after drinking it. It is expected that 180 blood points will be deducted within 60 minutes. When held in the mouth, 10 blood points will be deducted every hour. If you successfully drink or use this potion to spit fire, you can
get experience."
Audrey flattened the other leather bag to expel all the air, then pointed it at the boy's mouth, sealed all the gaps between the mouth and the mouth of the leather bag with both hands, "Blow hard to remove all the air from the body."
Blow it out."
The purpose of standing still when breathing fire is to keep the exhalation smooth, focus on the air flow, and steadily spit out the medicine in the mouth.
Xia Zuo blocked the bulging leather bag with his mouth, and tried to inflate his chest to inhale more. In the end, he inhaled more than half of the air in the bag, but could not completely suck it all.
Audrey hugged the boy again and kissed him heavily on the forehead:
"Are you willing to learn to breathe fire? I swear, every time you train, I will be by your side and I will never let you get injured like Vans. I can also help you redeem the fire breathing tutorial from the Warriors Guild.
and tools.”
In the evening, with many tickets remaining for the first three performances, the tickets for the Spitfire show were sold out in advance.
Xia Zuo secretly made up his mind.
Audrey had long seen that the boy was interested in breathing fire.
In previous fire-breathing performances, Fars would spit out flames in a straight line. When spitting out water, he would stand still and his body and head would not turn.
Awesome! Not everything goes as planned~
Audrey stared at the boy with her eyes wide open as if facing a shining golden treasure, her voice trembling with excitement:
He stood in a blazing circle and raised his arms to celebrate the breakthrough of the fire-breathing performance.
Audrey felt from the bottom of her heart that the boy in front of her was simply a gift from fate to the circus. Otherwise, how could she have met him on the forest trail.
Audrey's eyes shone with excitement, and she filled her leather bag with air again, "Let's try again and make sure."
Early next morning.
"I decided, I want to become a fire breather."
Well... the training process will be more painful, but compared with the copper coins and experience gained, it is worth it.
"Whether you have the talent to breathe fire or not depends entirely on whether you can use the air stored in your body!
"Roger it, eldest sister."
