"I have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the birth and destruction of species, and for countless thousands of years, only the stupidity of mortals is eternal. Your actions have verified this..."
On a stage decorated with blue mist and decorated like the banks of the Rhine, Volibear was wearing heavy armor, holding his almost invisible neck high like a demon king, rushing towards Sieg who was not about to hand over the Dragon Ring.
Field shouted.
Behind Volibear, the werewolf's subordinates played by Hawke were on standby. Brunhil, the queen of the forest played by Leviathan, also fell on the stage, while Ziegfeld played by Abel and the attendant played by Ruby were
He's fully armed and ready to take back the beauty and save the world.
"There is no need to excuse your atrocities and violence, and there is no need to say anything. Now we can only start with fighting! And end with your failure!"
Siegfeld pulled out the rapier in his hand. The weapon was originally Abel's side sword, a man-made secret weapon called "Ice Pick". Not only did it look gorgeous and exquisite, it could also release super-high-speed shock waves from the sword during battle.
, like Ruby's "Crescent Rose", it is a technological weapon of the Giant Chamber of Commerce's Research Department.
"Wait a moment, Lord Siegfeld, you don't need to take action to deal with this stupid big guy!"
Before Abel could step forward with the sword, the attendant played by Ruby had already taken the lead and pulled out the huge scythe "Crescent Rose" from behind, which can be called a killing machine. The scythe flashed across the stage with a whistling sound,
Slashing straight at Volibear.
"You are asking for your own death!"
Regarding the performances in this sacred world, there is one thing that operas on earth will never be able to catch up with. That is, all the battle scenes in these performances can be performed using real fighting. They are far from realistic or shocking.
What soft posing styles can be compared?
Ruby's scythe was extremely sharp, and Volibear's fists were fierce. The two jumped up from the stage, and completed the first collision in the air in tacit understanding. The collision of fists and scythes brought about a strong feeling.
Cyclone, even the audience far away can feel the heat of the battle.
"Thunder Claw!"
Volibear relied on Ruby's power to fall to both sides of the stage, and instantly activated the most gorgeous skill. Thunder and lightning that swept everything gathered on Volibear's two giant claws. Just the slightest movement would bring out a burst of lightning, which was very gorgeous.
, is also very dangerous.
When "This Thunder Claw" is turned on, Volibear's attack will be in a radial pattern, not only acting on the target being attacked, but also the terrifying thunder and lightning will ricochet and jump in the air, including all surrounding targets.
in.
Of course, he only used this skill to make the scene more gorgeous at this time, and had no intention of actually attacking Abel and Ruby on the stage...
"Stop!" "Master!"
Two anxious voices sounded. Siegfeld and Werewolf Hawk saw this and joined the battle. As the protagonist, Siegfield faced off against Volibear, who was at full strength, while Werewolf Hawk struggled with his attendant Ruby.
I'm here, you hit me with your claws and I hit you with joy.
At this point, the entire "The Tribunal of the Nibelungs" has entered the second and final part of the play. The protagonist Ziegfeld fights the evil bear who tries to reuse the Dragon Ring for his lover Brunhil.
.
"Dad, can Siegfeld defeat this bear-man? He looks so powerful!"
"Oh, of course, Ziegfeld will win, kid, you can rest assured of that."
The fight was lively on the stage, and the audience was even more attentive. Their eyes were carefully watching the overtime match between the hero and the devil. The endless plot made them hooked and could only
I lament that it is worthy of being the famous "Phantom" Opera Troupe in the Holy Land.
But in fact, when the plot progresses to this point, it is almost the same as the fantasy dramas they are used to watching. They are all old-fashioned stories of heroes, beauties, and demons. It is just that many other elements have been added to make the audience feel the plot.
More rich and interesting.
But the next development is destined to surprise these opera lovers who have watched too much "Justice Will Win", because... in their hearts, they are invincible and represent the protagonist who will never fail.
Gerfield actually lost? On this stage? He was defeated by Volibear, the evil bear as the villain?
"...Hmph, hahahaha!"
Volibear gasped and took out the ring from the arms of Siegfeld, who fell in front of him after a hard battle, with an excited look on his face, as if his long-cherished wish was about to come true. In fact.
, now Volibear has completely integrated into the play. In his eyes, he is just the unlucky bear who wants to get the Dragon Ring.
"You...this ring will bring you disaster! Don't wear it!"
Ever since, in the disbelief eyes of the audience, Ziegfeld, as the protagonist, was forced to hand over the ring that had been used throughout the play! And he lay ugly on the ground, as if all his strength had been used up
It’s like light, there’s no way to stop what’s going to happen next!
As for the other two righteous characters present, Forest Queen Brunhil fell to the ground and pretended to be dead from beginning to end, and squire Ruby was also knocked to the ground by a werewolf. Is there no other way to turn the tide of the battle? All of them
The audience prayed and believed that an unexpected reinforcement would appear soon to save this terrible situation.
But the audience did not wait for any new character who did not know whether it existed. Tens of thousands of eyes could only watch in amazement as Volibear slowly raised the ring that symbolized power, and then put it on his thick body.
On the paws.
"Power! It's gushing out! My dream home! It's re-emerging on this nostalgic land, blocking out the light of the sun!"
As mentioned in the previous narration, Volibear's tribe perished thousands of years ago due to the obstruction of the gods, and even the huge bear country was sunk deep under the earth.
, now he plans to use the power of the Nibelung Ring to bring it back to light.
Volibear was about to realize his long-cherished wish of thousands of years, but things did not develop as the audience imagined. Instead, they turned another 180 degrees and went to the other extreme. The ring he was wearing suddenly
A burst of light erupted, and the shadow of a giant dragon appeared in the sky.
"This is... Eberich! The owner of this ring!" Little Robin shouted in surprise. Not only him, but all the audience discovered the figure of this giant dragon, and the plot has already begun.
It completely exceeded the imagination of the audience and headed towards an ending that no one expected. "The sinner who tried to use the ring in vain! Accept the sanction of the Nibelungs!"
The giant dragon that originally only had a faint shadow floating in the air gradually emerged from the air. A dragon head composed of white light appeared above Volibear's head, opening its bloody mouth at his strong body!
"No! This ring belongs to me! No one can stop it!"
When the leader of the light appeared, Volibear really felt like he was about to be swallowed up. I have to say that the light painting machine was too realistic... Although I know
This thing is just an image, but I still feel scared unconsciously.
Bursts of intense light erupted on the stage. The dragon head of the light swooped down from Volibear's head, enveloping the bear-man in the light. After a moment, the stage returned to silence, and the huge body
"...Child, what do you think of this drama viewing experience?"
In the square outside the gate of Rakugo no Garden, after the curtain came down, the audience walked out one after another with their heads still a little warm and faced the cool breeze of the night. Although the temperature seemed a bit low, the enthusiasm of the audience
But they were still excited. As they walked, they enthusiastically discussed the script they just had with the people next to them.
"It's great, Dad. Which bear is my favorite? It's called... Volibear, right? I really want his autograph, so he can sign it on my clothes!"
Compared to Old Robin, who was still deep in thought, Little Robin looked excited. Volibear's domineering behavior and unconventional behavior just now impressed Little Robin deeply. He was still the first.
This time I didn't fall in love with the hero in the play, but fell in love with a villain.
"Indeed... the script is very novel, and there are good actors. Although Ning Xiongren seems to have no acting experience, the effect is very natural and has a simple and unpretentious feeling...
..”
Old Robin's comments almost represent the views of most opera lovers. For those of them who are accustomed to old-fashioned heroic legends, "The Tribunal of the Nibelungs" is not a script about heroes defeating evil.
It's relatively rare, not to mention that this "evil" has to be put in quotation marks. In the eyes of most people, Volibear is not a truly heinous person.
Although Volibear's methods are rather extreme and he tries to destroy the current order of the world and resurrect the buried ethnic groups, in the final analysis he does not act purely for his own selfish desires like Alberich.
There is more room for whitewashing.
However, no matter how this group of audiences discuss it, in fact, as long as it can arouse discussion, it is a good work, which shows that this script has a certain degree of explorability, unlike some old works that are unreliable and boring. Everyone who reads it will feel a
There is no need to discuss the taste at all.
"Cheers to this performance!" "Oh! Cheers!" "Gu Gu Gu Gu" "Ah stupid bear, why do you use a bucket to drink wine!"
After the performance ended, members of the Phantom Opera Troupe gathered backstage. They took off their cumbersome performance costumes and celebrated lively with the rum and juice they had prepared. Overall, this performance was quite good.
It was quite successful. Not one of the more than 30,000 spectators left early, and everyone watched the show in a tense atmosphere until the end.
And judging from the expressions on their faces when they left, I'm afraid the reviews of this performance will not be too bad. If the response is good, Captain Abel will consider making the third part of "The Tribunal of the Nibelung"
The parts will be added in the next performance to form a complete story.
"Gurgling, burping...good wine! It would be nice if there was more meat!"
Among a group of noisy companions, Volibear's figure is always the most conspicuous. Not only is his huge body responsible, but it is also related to the large wine barrel he holds in his hand, which is enough for more than ten people.
A large barrel of rum, which an adult drank drunkenly, disappeared without a trace after Volibear made a few beeping noises, leaving only an empty barrel rolling on the ground.
"Um...you...is your belly connected to another dimension?"
Volibear's bold way of drinking startled Ruby next to her. She leaned over and touched Volibear's belly, as if trying to figure out where all the wine had gone.
"Everyone, the food has been delivered, please feel free to enjoy it."
The backstage door was opened again, and Issa walked in with a group of waiters and a dozen dining carts filled with various foods. The dining carts were almost all filled with local specialty foods, although most of them were
Plants and vegetables, but they have a special fragrance and freshness that makes people want to eat.
Hmm... delicious... it's a pity that there is no meat... Volibear stuffed his mouth with fresh honey toasted rye bread and honey soup, although the honey
He also likes meat very much, but his favorite is meat that is heavy and full of grease when he bites it off...
Sure enough, the Emerald Alliance is not suitable for carnivores to live in. Volibear suddenly felt lucky that he was taken out by the bear traders, otherwise he would not be able to bear such a life of eating bread, plant honey, etc. here every day.
