As one of the top theater troupes in the Republic of China, the "Phantom" Opera Troupe not only enjoys high popularity in its own country, but also has a large number of "Phantom" fans in other countries and regions in the Sanctuary. In this entertainment element
In a relatively small world, opera doesn't have a huge following only in artistic countries.
Due to the travel problems caused by the huge area of the sanctuary, it is difficult for opera lovers from many other countries to watch the performance of the "Phantom" Opera Troupe live. This is a very regrettable thing for many people, regardless of
This is true for both the audience and the actors.
So more than 20 years ago, the previous head of the "Phantom" Opera Troupe proposed such a new operating system for the troupe, dividing the entire "Phantom" Opera Troupe into two, divided into the "Charm" group and the "Phantom" group.
The two groups perform in their own country and another country respectively, rotating every three months, so that most of the audience can go to watch the performance in person.
The "Phantom" Opera Troupe has designated ten performance venues in other countries. Except for Fenghua, each of the other major countries has two performance venues. In three months, the touring group will perform in five venues.
To perform ten operas between major countries can be said to be a very arduous task.
"I said...do you always fly around on this thing?"
"Huh? You feel uncomfortable sitting up?"
"No, I mean...is this thing safe?"
At this time, in the sky hundreds of meters high, a huge, hill-like hot air balloon was slowly floating in the air. There was also an artificial floating island made of unknown materials underneath the hot air balloon.
On that floating island, there was actually a camp full of literary and artistic atmosphere standing there as if it were a matter of course.
This slightly strange air travel machine is called "Phantom Ark". It is a high-tech product specially customized by the Phantom Opera Troupe from the Giant Chamber of Commerce Research Institute. It is very convenient and quick to use. You only need to turn on the control machine, which is placed on the large machine in the center of the camp.
Balloons can take a troupe of hundreds of people on a journey filled with hot air, which is an essential tool during the busy tour period in March.
"For now...it's relatively safe. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any accidents this time."
Volibear and Ruby stayed in the corner of the camp, looking down from the sky through the short railings at the edge of the camp, because there are a lot of beautiful scenery in the wild of the sanctuary that are comparable to tourist areas, so you can overlook the scenery from a few hundred meters above.
The feeling is great.
"Comparison? Won't explode? This time?"
Volibear suddenly felt uneasy when he heard that Ruby seemed to have a secret... The artificial floating island under his feet that originally felt very stable also seemed to be a little shaky.
You know, a bear is a creature that likes to stand on the ground. It likes warm nests and jungles the most. If it weren't for honey, it wouldn't even climb trees. But now he is hundreds of meters high in the air.
, and was also vaguely threatened by a crash, which simply gave Volibear a slight advantage.
"It's just a problem with the big balloon. It has already exploded once at the beginning of the year. Normally, if we follow the routine of once a year, there won't be any problems this year." Ruby sat lightly on the railing at the edge of the floating island.
, swaying her slender calves leisurely, without any sense of danger that she would fall from a height of several hundred meters if she fell forward, or in fact, for a demon hunter of her strength, this height is nothing.
.
How on earth did you survive... Volibear simply can't imagine what happened when such a behemoth carrying an entire camp and hundreds of people exploded and fell from a height of several hundred meters.
Such a scene. "Hey, it's okay. There is an emergency landing device installed under this camp. If you fall down, it will just mess up the entire camp. Ordinary team members may be injured, but they have not died.
Example."
As if she understood the expression on Volibear's face, Ruby smiled and explained some of the mechanisms of this "Phantom Ark". This floating island in the sky is a high-tech achievement of the Scientific Research Department of the Giant Chamber of Commerce. Although it is not particularly reliable,
It will not often bring life threats to the user, otherwise who would dare to fly around on this thing.
"Ah, it seems that we have arrived. There is the first performance venue in the Emerald Area, a place called "Rakugo Forest"... Oh, by the way, it seems that you live here originally, there is no need
As if introduced."
"No, no, no, please say a few more words. A rough guy like me who has never been outside knows nothing. How can I compare with someone like Miss Ruby who has traveled the world and has extensive knowledge."
Since the journey is not too far, after only about half a day's flight, "Phantom Ark" has arrived at one of the venues on this tour, the "Rakugo Forest" in the Emerald Alliance, which is a place in the Emerald Alliance.
A very densely populated city...if it can still be called a city.
"Aw, this place looks great! I love it!"
In Volibear's astonished sight, a strange forest city that seemed to exist in a fairy tale world slowly appeared in front of him.
Originally, the Emerald Alliance advocated a natural life, and almost all cities were built in dense jungles. However, this "Rakugo Forest" is considered a very unique place even in the Emerald Alliance, because this city is not
It is simply built in an area surrounded by trees, but directly built on tall giant trees. Looking from the sky, countless giant trees hundreds of meters high rise from the ground. On the trunks with lush branches and leaves, many
Wonderful buildings of different styles are built in various forms, and they look very varied and unique.
Some of these buildings are stuck to the tree trunks of the cliff like bird's nests, some are located on thick branches, and some are even built directly on the top of the tree using leaves from local materials. Some are large or small, and the style is rough or rough.
It is bold, has various shapes, and is full of imagination and creativity.
On the branches among the giant trees, you can still see some different types of residents walking. They include half-orcs like Volibear who walk upright with various heads on their heads, short goblins, and people wearing clothes.
The scene of druids in green leaf costumes and handsome fairies can be said to fully demonstrate the true meaning of the words "Emerald Alliance", which is multi-racial, natural and harmonious coexistence.
In addition to the residents of various ethnic groups walking through the branches as if they were shopping, there are also many beautiful birds and shimmering elves wandering freely on the trees, making people feel like they have entered a legend.
It is like a fairyland, beautiful and peaceful, full of magical atmosphere.
"Big stupid bear...haven't you been here before?"
Seeing that Volibear was so amazed that her eyes almost popped out of her head, Ruby couldn't help but gently poked his big belly full of soft fur, trying to bring this guy back to his senses.
"Of course I haven't been here. Didn't I say that Ben Xiong never left the jungle where he was born in the past twenty years? If he hadn't been kidnapped this time, he might still be playing in the mud in the swamp."
For Volibear, who is "born and raised" but actually doesn't know much about this natural country, what little he is familiar with is limited to areas in the misty jungle. Compared to areas including "Rakugo Forest"
Compared to the top ten jade forests in the country, the area of the mist jungle is actually just a drop in the bucket.
"No... I thought you were joking before... You are indeed a big stupid bear. He is so lazy that he has not been willing to go out for so many years."
Ruby covered her mouth and snickered, but in fact, Ruby had completely forgotten that during her childhood, when she underwent strict training, she almost never left any annoying and nostalgic training place, but later she followed Abel
Running around in the sanctuary with Leviathan gave me my current vision and knowledge.
"Get ready for landing, Kalindo. Deflate the balloon. You must deflate it slowly this time. Don't suddenly play any thrilling hand games like last time."
At the same time, in the control room of "Phantom Ark", Abel stayed here with a senior operator specially dispatched by the Scientific Research Department of the Giant Chamber of Commerce. Normally, for the sake of his own safety and that of everyone else, Abel would be there soon.
When landing, stay close to Kalindor to prevent Kalindor's racial talent, which is written as "goblin" and pronounced as "psychosis", from suddenly exerting an unwanted effect.
Despite this, Abel's supervision never seems to have any effect. He can't understand why these goblins who call themselves "inventors across the ages" all have a headache. Normal people have no idea.
What were they thinking? If this machine wasn't too complicated, no one would let this perverted race operate it.
"Ah ha, don't worry, Captain Abel. I have more than ten years of experience in sailing the Ark. The last time it was just a regrettable accident. Well, it was definitely an accident. Please trust us "Operators of the Scientific Research Department of the Giant Chamber of Commerce"
technical strength.”
It seemed that he didn't feel Abel's fear at all. Kalindo's short limbs were placed on many very complicated-looking instruments, and they moved up and down from time to time as if they were driving a car to control the operation of this giant machine in the air.
"Okay, destination confirmed! The descent has begun! Passengers, please fasten your seat belts! Hahahahaha!"
"Oh no! Wait..."
Before Abel could say anything, Kalindo's thick and short fingers pressed the red button with "Emergency Landing" written in goblin script with very dexterous movements, not to mention that there was a green button next to it.
It says "normal landing" or something, and Kalindo will tell you that he can't read.
Squeak... There was a sound of machine running from the instrument, and then it floated over the floating island. The huge balloon that bore the weight of the entire floating island began to flatten at a speed visible to the naked eye. During the "emergency landing"
Under the command, all the more than a thousand deflation holes on the balloon were opened, and the huge steam machine inside that continuously sprayed out hot air stopped running instantly.
Tsk...this lunatic. Seeing this crazy guy do such stupid things again, Abel had no choice but to press the warning system button in the control room and issue an emergency message to the entire crew members on the floating island.
Signal of whereabouts. Beep! Beep! Beep! A red flashing light immediately shot out from the top transmitter in the control room, bursts of red fireworks erupted directly above the entire "Phantom Ark", and at the same time, a piercing alarm sounded.
The sound also sounded.
"Well, I knew this was going to happen... Big stupid bear, stand still quickly. It looks like there will be an emergency landing soon. The vibration will be very severe."
As if she was used to such bizarre developments, Ruby did not panic at all after seeing the emergency fireworks and sirens. Instead, she quickly jumped off the guardrail, pulled Volibear up and walked towards the open space behind.
"Emergency landing? Did you encounter any problems?"
In Volibear's impression, emergency landing seems to only happen when the plane has some major problem that may crash. However, it was obviously a good flight just now, so why did it happen when it arrived at the destination?
"We did encounter serious problems, but not in terms of physics..."
Before Ruby could explain that this situation occurred because their pilot suffered from brain damage and gave up treatment, the hot air balloon, which was as big as a mountain just now, had been successfully deflated, and the entire floating island suddenly disappeared.
It fell in a free fall from a height of hundreds of meters...
