A coastal corridor, the capital of the League of Cities, Kerswick.!
On the city's most famous "Rose Square", the ice and snow roses still blooming in the cold are like balls of burning flames, dazzling and scorching.
But tonight, the night seems to disappear, and no one appreciates their beauty. The square, the surrounding streets, and the nearby houses, wherever you can see the huge black "curtain" in the center, are crowded with people, looking up at their heads and using their hands.
With almost the same shocked expression, I watched the changes in the "curtain" and listened to the melancholy and quiet melody of "Moonlight Sonata" that seemed to ring in my heart.
It wasn't until "Nightingale" Louise spoke that they came back to their senses from this sluggish state, and burst out with waves of exclamation. There are actually living people inside the "curtain"? Or is this a magic more magical than the magic radio? It can make people not only
A strange magic that can hear sounds and see figures?
Miss Nightingale's words solved their doubts and fears, but also triggered an even greater wave of excitement and excitement. They had never encountered this kind of thing, and neither had their ancestors. This was the "mystery of the world".
The "magic civilization" repeatedly promoted in "The Voice"? This is a manifestation of "magic civilization".
In the crowd, a man wearing a leather hat looked at "Nightingale" Louise with horrified eyes and shook his head in disbelief. Has the Magic Council gone one step further than broadcasting? Let anyone anywhere can
Saw "Valkyrie" at the Rentat Kingdom Coliseum?
And what does this mean? Others may not know it, but as an elite night watchman, I know it better than anyone else!
Since the invention of the magic radio by Lucien Evans and the launch of the "Voice of Mystery", he has experienced the changes in the concepts and attitudes of people in many prosperous cities along the northern coastal corridor from beginning to end, and he did not care at first.
But the change in people's hearts may be in this silence. By the time he felt that something was wrong in the surrounding atmosphere, all the details were already making people panic and fearful.
Coupled with the church's failure in the "Battle of Rentat", it turned from a hunter chasing its prey into a prey that fled in panic and hid here and there.
But now, the magic radio can not only transmit sounds, but also display images. What terrible changes it will bring!
Although he has witnessed everything just now and understands that it will take who knows how many years before this model can be popularized like the previous magic radio, but the Magic Council is doing this step by step.
But the church showed no response.
"No, you must report it to the agent immediately!" He held down his fur hat, lowered his head and retreated outside from the increasingly crowded crowd. It took him a while to squeeze out.
After leaving the square, the surrounding area quickly became quiet. The night watchman quickly found a hidden and uninhabited corner, took out a brooch-like magical item, and tried to report to the church what had just happened.
He was anxious for a moment and directly contacted the Inquisition headquarters in the holy city of Reims. However, there was only noisy sound coming from the "brooch".
"Asshole! The mysterious voice of the Magic Council can be heard anywhere and can transmit images, but I can't even contact the Holy City of Lance. How can I fight against the magicians?" He suddenly became confused.
Angry, frustrated and anxious.
Although he also understands that it is not the same time now, Kerswick has been controlled by the Magic Council. Without the cathedral equipped with material transmission array and sound transmission array, there is no way to carry out transit. Therefore, the vigil lurking across the Storm Strait and along the coastal corridor of Northland
People can no longer communicate as easily as before. The action just now was just his subconscious habit. However, the wizards of the Magic Council can still rely on the "artificial planet" to communicate with Arlinge in the area ruled by the church!
This gap is the real reason for his frustration and impatience!
The artificial planet that seemed to be created just to challenge the authority of the true God is increasingly shining with unimaginable light. It is definitely one of the most far-reaching effects among alchemical items!
He took out a cigarette that was a specialty of the Buriana Kingdom, put it to his mouth with trembling hands, and then while holding it in his mouth, he gently rubbed it with his right hand and a ball of flame came out,
He lit the cigarette and took a deep breath to calm down his mood. Then he reactivated the brooch and contacted his boss "Agent" who was also lurking in Kerswick.
The night watchman gritted his teeth and thought, we must propose to the church to develop our own artificial planet!
However, he also understands that this kind of product in the forefront of arcane research is difficult for the cardinals of the church to imitate. If they "launch satellites", they have no pressure, so they will capture an artificial planet of the Magic Council if they have the opportunity.
Bar!
Due to the parliament's control over its own ruling area, the information about "satellite live broadcast" was transmitted to the holy city of Reims step by step, section by section. Perhaps before the performance of "Valkyrie" was completed, Pope Benedict III had not yet
receive.
Magnificent and brilliant gold is the main color of the Rentat Kingdom Grand Theater. Magic crystal lamps are hung from the ceiling or embedded on the walls, casting pure and bright light, complementing the gold.
Lucien and Natasha were sitting in the box, waiting for the performance of "Valkyrie".
"I have been looking forward to this opera for several years, and tonight I can finally fulfill my wish." Oliver walked in politely, took off his white gloves, and shook hands with Lucien with a smile on his face.
No matter how many differences there were in microscopic areas, he would never quarrel with Lucien, especially in the fields of drama and opera that he loved.
"I hope you like it." Lucien responded with a smile and asked Oliver to sit down.
Apart from him, there were not many legendary magicians who were willing to attend the opening ceremony of the Rentat Music Festival. Douglas was busy with his own preparations and had no particular love for opera, so he did not show up. Brooke had almost the same reason.
Vicente, on the other hand, had a cold relationship with Lucien and was not a fan of opera, and even seemed to lack interest in daily life. This was even more impossible for Helen who wanted to devote all her time to arcane and magical research.
Some of the other legendary magicians are out, some are guarding branches in various countries, and some are busy with research and have not appeared here.
"Opera is not too interesting." "Storm Lord" Fernando, who was sitting next to Lucien, was looking at the stage intently, still wearing his bright red magic robe.
Seeing that "Valkyrie" was about to begin, Lucien used his mind connection to say to Natasha: "Isn't Grandma Hathaway coming?"
"She may not like situations with so many people. I remember that she is still very interested in music and opera." Natasha guessed.
Lucien nodded and said nothing more. Russell, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Holm below, had already begun to deliver a speech and then announced the opening of the music festival.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! This is the first time I have seen the Prime Minister, and he looks like this!" Banus said loudly with joy and surprise.
Ali pulled him and hissed: "Be polite, otherwise you will be reprimanded by the policeman. After Her Majesty the Queen's coronation, it was fine. It was just a reprimand. If it was before, you would be caned if you were disrespectful to the nobles." And.
Such a great nobleman!
"I understand, I understand. In fact, if you look at them, they are almost the same as me. If the policeman wanted to reprimand him, he would probably reprimand him until his throat goes hoarse." Banus looked very excited.
After Russell announced the opening of the Rentat Music Festival, intense preparations began behind the curtain.
In the short time before the opera started, the magician in charge of the broadcast adjusted the angle of the image magic circle so that the "audience" could see the full view of the Kingdom Grand Theater.
"It's so gorgeous. Being able to listen to the highest-level opera in such a theater will really make you die without regrets!" Banus and others praised one after another.
Then, their attention quickly shifted from the building to the nobles passing by on the screen, and Louise's sweet introduction sounded in their ears: "This is His Excellency James, Duke of Pephothshire, and this is his
Mrs. Stephanie…”
Oh! Waves of exclamations echoed in the square.
"So these are the nobles. The ladies and ladies are also very beautiful..." Ali admired softly, with a look of enthusiasm that was not without recognition. She said she would attend the opening ceremony.
There is a big gap between his description and the real situation, but one thing cannot be denied. Due to the inheritance of active bloodline from generation to generation, the proportion of good-looking people among nobles is much higher than that of ordinary people.
As Ali's eyes searched for the noble ladies, the scene changed again and he focused on the box.
"Here is Her Majesty Queen Natasha, 'Atomic Control, Your Excellency Evans..." Louise's introduction suddenly paused, because she saw the same scene as Banus and others, and there were constant people in the box.
The silver-gray sword light cutting through the surroundings, the vast but colorful universe, the violent storms of lightning and thunder, and the doomsday scenes of stars collapsing and being destroyed...
"What, what is this?" Ali and others seemed to be stuttering today.
After Louise paused for a moment, her voice sounded again calmly: "The aura of the legendary strong men can affect the world around them, so unless they deliberately restrain themselves, the image magic array can only record this, and
This situation does not appear when seen with the naked eye..."
"It's amazing. He is indeed a legendary powerhouse!"
"It's such a wonderful sight..."
This situation left a deep impression on Banus and other viewers.
The short pre-screen time ended quickly, and a prelude began to play. The melodiousness concealed the melancholy, and the melodious surface concealed the intensity. People were immediately exposed to the plot of the opera and were emotionally prepared.
"Prelude instead of overture is a popular way of creating operas recently. It can be used before each act of the opera and directly connects the subsequent music..." Ali said about the knowledge he got from his pen pal.
In the Kingdom Grand Theater, no one spoke anymore, and they began to enjoy the opera quietly.
Towards the end of the prelude, the curtain slowly rose, a female monologue was sung in a recitative (a tune similar to a recital), and a tall girl with no strong features appeared on the stage.
"Is this the Valkyrie?"
The audience felt that it was a bit inconsistent with the theme, and the following story unfolded, which was also different from their imagination. In the brisk and long melody, Princess Amantha and the king, queen, maids, palace teachers, etc. showed a happy and beautiful life.
However, the good times did not last long. The king's nephew colluded with the prime minister and the captain of the guard, and plotted to kill the king and queen. Thanks to the help of the maid, the princess was able to escape into the forest.
The gloom and intensity concealed under the beautiful melody before suddenly burst out when the conspiracy began, causing the audience's emotions to rise and fall rapidly. They were both nervous about the princess and hating the villain.
At the end of the first act, during the interlude, Oliver looked at Lucien in great surprise: "Is this an opera? No, I admit that this is a very good opera, but what about the structure of the music? Why do I feel it more?
Like a symphony?”
Prior to this, Rentat's operas were in the form of parts, consisting of a series of parts with complete structures (including solos, duets, choruses, etc.). To put it simply, the opera was centered on music and singing, and the plot served
to them.
But now, Lucien's opera is more like a drama, the music matches the plot, there are no obvious parts, the scene becomes a whole, like a symphony with a theme throughout.
