Today's Rakugo Forest is extremely lively. Not only have the residents of this city left the area where they usually live in large numbers, but also a large number of people of all ethnic groups from the surrounding towns have poured into this city of giant trees.
The destination is almost the same as well.
"Dad, why are there so many people here..."
On the huge dragon's blood tree located in the center of the Rakugo Forest, a huge crowd of people has gathered, slowly walking towards the entrance of the giant opera house known as the "Rakugo Garden".
There were so many people that one of them, a goblin father and son, was stuck outside by the surging crowd and could hardly move.
At this time, the muscular half-orcs with various animal heads are particularly dominant. You can see a few werewolves and tauren twisting a few times before getting through the crowd and entering the theater. The druids
They also have stronger bodies than ordinary people, and they squeeze in like a duck to water. Of course, the worst sufferers are the dwarf goblins and fairies whose physical fitness is below the level. It is simply a disaster.
"Don't... don't be anxious, little Robin. This happens every time the Phantom Troupe comes here to tour. It's your first time here, so you're just not used to it. Dad believes that it won't take you a few years.
You’ll get used to it.”
Old Robin is a very obsessed opera lover. Because there are not many entertainment projects in the sanctuary, there are still a considerable number of opera lovers like Old Robin. In addition to watching operas, Old Robin
, I also joined an opera organization in Rakugo no Mori, and would rehearse scripts that were almost invisible to others when I had nothing to do.
For Old Robin, the arrival of a first-class theater company like the "Phantom" Opera Troupe is definitely a big event. Every three months, the "Phantom" Opera Troupe will descend from the sky with wonderful opera programs for people like Old Robin.
It provides luxurious auditory and visual enjoyment to opera fans, just like a festival.
And this time, Old Robin also brought his beloved young son to enjoy the performance of "Phantom". Because the fairies generally live longer and have children later, Old Robin only got his son when he was over 100 years old.
It was like his treasure. He couldn't wait to bring little Robin here when he could express his thoughts accurately.
"Give way! Don't step on my head!"
"The show will start soon! Come on, hurry up!"
"Selling standing tickets! 50 gold coins each! First come, first served!"
At this time, the square in front of the Rakugo Garden can be said to be extremely chaotic, with all kinds of chaotic shouts and cries filling the top of the huge dragon-blood tree. In fact, for the residents of the Emerald Alliance, their daily life
It is very peaceful and harmonious, and there are rarely such scenes of pushing and shouting.
But every time the Rakugo Garden starts a performance, or there is any other major performance, this kind of messy scene becomes everywhere. People don't care whether the guy with back pain standing in front of them and being pushed by them is there every day.
Instead, they shouted loudly like barbarians. Although this scene looked a bit bad, when the curtain closed and everything returned to normal, they became polite, harmonious and friendly residents again. In the absence of
In the Jade League, where there is excitement and freshness, and there are no worries about life, this has almost become a reserved program, a program that allows you to return to yourself and completely relax.
The moment for the show has arrived. After a war-like entrance ceremony, the large theater that can seat 30,000 spectators has been fully occupied. There are even some spectators who have not bought tickets standing in the aisle.
Leaning on stools or standing against the wall for hours, this shows how obsessed these people are with opera.
The glittering aerial stage is ready. The sound-playing flowers scattered on the stage can clearly spread the voices of the actors to the ears of everyone in the theater. The mirage sprayed around the stage will amplify the entire stage.
So that all the audience can clearly see the actors' performance, everything is so perfect, just waiting for the arrival of the protagonist.
"Dad, what story is going to be played soon? Is it the legend of King Arthur with the twelve warriors of the Round Table? Which one is my favorite!"
"Although King Arthur is good, the one that will be staged this time is not King Arthur, but... a new play called "The Judgment of the Nibelungs". My father has never read it, so I don't know the details.
"
Old Robin touched the head of his younger son, who was already excited. He had been telling little Robin about his favorite fantasy opera stories since he was a child. Although little Robin still seemed to understand, he had no idea about dragons and dragons.
Knight, war and princesses are indeed very familiar things.
The Judgment of the Nibelungs...Old Robin also felt a little disappointed when he saw the repertoire of this performance, because this time the Phantom Opera Company was not going to perform some classic and memorable ones.
It is not a traditional opera, but a brand new work that no one has ever seen before.
Although he is very confident in the quality of the Phantom Opera Company, compared to new works that he doesn’t know what to say, old Robin still prefers to watch familiar old things, such as The Legend of King Arthur, Iron Wall and War, and other classic plays.
I simply never tire of it.
While people were waiting anxiously, several fireworks suddenly shot out from the center of the stage, and the fireworks exploded in the air to form several large characters with shining golden light.
In the first act, Gold of the Rhine, the subtitles composed of fireworks appeared, which represented the beginning of the performance. People began to calm down, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the stage, as if they were afraid of missing some important scene.
"A long time ago, at the bottom of the Rhine... there lived three beautiful fairy girls. Their mission was to protect the gold hidden at the bottom of the Rhine..."
The narration was clear, and the beautiful voice began to echo in this huge theater. As the narrator of the Phantom Opera Company, this woman named Lena has a very unforgettable and beautiful voice, as well as the ability to express the tone that can set off the atmosphere.
.
As the narration sounded, three girls appeared in the center of the huge stage. Each of them was full of youthful vitality, wearing fairies' costumes and playing in a river composed of blue mist.
"But one day, a giant dragon transformed into a goblin, the remnants of the Nibelungs came here..."
What follows is a libretto by a goblin performer. After learning that gold from the Rhine River can be turned into a ring to have the right to rule the world, the greedy Nibelung remnant, Alberich, became greedy.
Decided to hide it from these three goblin guardians and get Lain's gold.
The giant dragon that transformed into a goblin had a keen sense of smell and a petite figure. Alberich hid under the rocks by the Rhine River, waiting for an opportunity to steal this piece of gold with infinite temptation, and slipped into the bottom of the river. The three goblins
In the end, the girl only heard a laugh from Alberich...
"Woman! Your name is Weak!"
After the dragon Eberich stole Rhine's gold, he immediately set out to make it into a ring with the power to rule the world, called the "Dragon Ring", and this "Dragon Ring" was only for Eberich.
Xi wants to serve alone, and only if he wears this ring will he have powerful power.
"Alberich put his power, life and will into the ring. As long as the ring is still there, Alberich will never really die... But when he is ready to rule the world with the power of the ring,
An unexpected figure appeared in front of Alberich..."
On a stage that has attracted much attention and has turned into something like a devil's lair, the protagonist played by Captain Abel, Ziegfeld, flew half the theater with a courageous momentum, and landed heavily in front of Eberich, who was wearing a ring.
.
"It is not my wish to suffer in silence the tyrannical poisonous arrows of fate. O remnant of the Nibelungs, I, Siegfeld, am here to send you back to hell!"
But Alberich, who is wearing the Dragon Ring, possesses nearly infinite power, and Siegfeld, as a hero, cannot fight against him. At the critical moment, Forest Queen Brunhil appears, using her to control the natural magic.
The branch saved Siegfeld and helped him defeat Eberich...
"...Ashes to ashes...Dust to dust...All things...will eventually turn into ashes..."
Since the Dragon Ring was wrested from Alberich's hands by Siegfeld at the last moment, this last Nibelungen citizen could only accept the fate of falling into darkness, but as long as the Dragon Ring is still alive,
Eberich is not really dead...
"Are you ready, Big Bear? It's time for you to play."
Just as the performance on the stage was getting into its climax, and the husband-and-wife team of Ziegfeld and Brunhil defeated the big devil, in the passage directly below the stage, Wally, dressed in armor, looked very powerful.
Bell and Ruby, dressed as attendants, are waiting here.
Due to script reasons, there is no role for these two in the first act "Gold of the Rhine". Volibear will only come on stage after the death of the big devil Eberich, preparing to take over the bad plan to destroy the world.
Bee will also serve as Siegfeld's squire and fight with Volibear alongside him.
"Hmph, look, I will play the role of a villain who kidnaps a good young woman very well. Don't be scared then..."
"Mr. Volibear, please come on stage quickly. Mr. Volibear, please come on stage quickly.
Before Volibear could finish his words, Lena's voice came from the music player in the passage. It seemed that the time to go on stage had arrived. Volibear also followed Ruby's encouraging eyes.
Walked into the passage to the stage...
It looked really amazing from this angle... A moment later, Volibear's huge body appeared on the stage. Looking around from the stage, there were countless seats filled with tens of thousands of spectators.
The eyes staring closely at him are really spectacular.
"It's a bear! Dad, this guy looks really cool!"
Volibear's huge body, combined with the exquisite armor covering his vital parts, looked very impactful. Not only Little Robin, but also the entire audience broke out into a burst of warm cheers, as if they were
In his own way, he inspired this bear actor who had never seen him before.
"... Queen of the Forest, Brunhil, is here to witness the end of your world, and I will create a new future!"
Volibear's first scene was opposite Brünhil, played by Leviathan. When Siegfeld was seriously injured, Volibear took the opportunity to kidnap Brünhil in an attempt to force Siegfeld to hand over the Dragon Ring.
.
Although it was his first time performing on stage, Volibear really felt at ease. He didn't have to force himself to play other roles, he just followed the original action language and added a little pretentious lines.
"After learning that his lover had been kidnapped, Siegfeld was very angry. He took a follower on the way to find the villain, Volibear, the King of Beasts..."
In the end, after a difficult journey, Abel and Ruby finally saw a giant bear intent on turning the entire world into chaos at the origin of the Dragon Ring, on the banks of the Rhine River. The war was about to break out...
