Chapter 135: Grand Opera House

"Sir, even if Adam Rulf kills an adult black dragon with good luck, he can't win more than ten duels with good luck alone!" Lisa retorted to Giuliano angrily.

Giuliano also knew that he was exaggerating. He laughed awkwardly for a while and said angrily: "Okay, I admit that Adam Rulf has some ability, but what is the price he paid for it? You still haven't

Do you know? This man secretly made a deal with the devil and sold his soul in exchange for power. He is really stupid!"

"Adam Rulf made a deal with the devil..." Gao Fei's heart trembled, "How did you know about this?"

"Oh, I have friends in the newspaper office, those pen-wielding reporters. They are very well-informed. It is said that they got it from the maid of the aunt of Adam Rulf's former mistress. It is absolutely reliable!" Lord Giuliano said confidently.

Oh my God!

Just this...? Still "absolutely reliable"?!

Gao Fei held his forehead and sighed, suspecting that the game designer designed such a funny young man intentionally to cause trouble for the players.

Lisa seemed to realize that she couldn't talk about business with a playboy like Giuliano, and instead chatted about scandals and gossip.

"Sir, Adam Rulf's claim that you have some kind of improper relationship with Her Majesty the Queen has been widely circulated. I have heard about it in Avalon. Of course I don't believe these slanderous words, but I am really curious.

, do you only have pure admiration for the noble Majesty Borja?"

When Giuliano heard her ask about the Queen, he immediately sat upright and put on a solemn face: "Miss Corte, in my mind, Her Majesty the Queen is like a noble goddess, and I would never dare to have the slightest blasphemous thought towards her!"

"Haha, you are really good at talking."

"Miss Colt, don't you believe it?"

"Men always compare the lover of their dreams to a goddess, but if you get tired of chasing her after a long time, you have to find another goddess to worship!" Lisa smiled half-heartedly, "So people often say that if you can't get it, you can't get it.

The best is the best, Musk, you think so too, right?"

Gao Fei was left speechless by her. Nodding and shaking his head were inappropriate.

Giuliano frowned, as if he felt aggrieved that Lisa had despised his sincere statement just now, and couldn't help complaining: "Miss Colt, I'm not being pretentious! In fact, I only admire the queen, and I will never

He may have physical desires, even for other women!"

"Huh?" Lisa caught the key point, her beautiful eyes gleaming like a cat discovering a mouse in the dark, "Lord Giuliano, please tell me in detail, why you are not interested in women?

I just love hearing this!"

Giuliano smiled awkwardly, but hesitated to speak.

Of course, Gao Fei knew that it was a taboo to have a casual conversation, so he glanced at Lisa angrily, hinting her not to try to pry into Lord Giuliano's privacy.

Lisa was quite well-behaved. Although she was full of curiosity, she finally gave up her attempt to use "detection thoughts" to eavesdrop on Giuliano's thoughts after being severely restrained by her fiancé.

The Times Theater, one of the landmark buildings in Patos, can be called the greatest achievement of Varese's world architectural art in this era!

This magnificent opera house abandons the usual craftsmanship of traditional large-scale church buildings, such as buttresses and flying buttresses. The overall structure of the building uses steel beams for support, and boldly uses newly invented reinforced concrete materials, which not only saves

The overall strength of the building is also superior to traditional craftsmanship.

Another feature of the Times Theater is the extensive use of glass bricks on the facade that are both lighting and decorative. The exterior looks like a giant lotus flower that is contained and waiting to be released. Under the reflection of the moonlight and street lights, it is overflowing with light and shining.

radiant.

Lord Giuliano had a special box on the second floor of the Opera House. As soon as Gao Fei and others sat down, the waiter brought exquisite fruit plates, snacks, candies, red wine and the night's play list.

The play performed tonight is a long-running classic historical tragedy. It is said to be adapted from a true modern history of the Aquamarine Kingdom, called "Tears of the Age".

The historical background of this opera is not that far away from the present. At the end of the last century, people in their fifties and sixties have personally experienced that war-torn and tragic history.

The prologue to the opera takes place in the 1580s.

At that time, the leftist party in Hailan had the opportunity to form a government for the first time since its establishment. After taking power, it immediately implemented the party's most important governing program - the abolition of the feudal privileges of manor owners, as well as the most controversial systems of trafficking and slavery.

Around this policy, the entire society was torn apart. In the northern region, where the industry was relatively developed, congressmen from factory owners, led by congressmen, loudly called for the liberation of slaves, while congressmen from the south, with manor owners as the backbone, resolutely resisted the abolition movement.

Claiming to "liberate the slaves" is an attempt to steal their "sacred and inviolable private property."

The conflicts between the two sides became increasingly acute, and the debates in parliament and the war of words in newspapers gradually turned into violent conflicts.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a civil war will inevitably occur between the Northern reformers who support abolition and the Southern conservatives who insist on tradition.

In this situation, His Majesty the King is still a child. We cannot expect this seven-year-old boy to rise up and use his domineering power to overwhelm the opposing sides, and the whole country will rush towards civil war.

The stage for the first act of the opera is located in a large manor in the south.

The male protagonist Abraham is the heir to the manor. From his own interests, it stands to reason that he should support the slavery system. However, this young man who received a new education in the university completely sides with the old man in the north and actually tries to establish a new system in his own manor.

A social experiment was conducted to free slaves.

Abraham's deviant behavior was severely reprimanded by his father, and he was also regarded as an alien by his neighbors and relatives.

The depressed young man felt that his ideals could not be realized in his hometown, so he planned to run away from home and go to the north to participate in the vigorous abolitionist movement.

On the eve of leaving his hometown, he had his last tryst with his girlfriend.

The woman who loved him deeply gave everything to her lover on this tearful night.

Not long after Abraham left home, his former girlfriend was urged to marry by his parents, asking him to marry Ashley, a young and rich southern landowner who respected tradition.

The poor woman couldn't let go of Abraham, so she simply changed her mind and went to find Ashley, who was passionately pursuing her, in private, told him about her love with Abraham, and asked him not to force him into trouble.

Unexpectedly, the young man was not only infatuated, but also very tolerant. He immediately expressed that he understood her difficulties and was willing to continue waiting for her.

If Abraham gives up his engagement with her in the future and never comes back, I hope the girl can consider herself as a backup.
