Chapter 194 Invitation to the Royal Family (Part 1)
A week has passed since the Sidney murder.
For the common people of Twilight West City, the topic triggered by this incident has long been outdated. The so-called power and conspiracy behind the incident are not as attractive as the bread and drama of living in the present.
The king is going to hold a grand invitational party in the Grand Theater. As soon as this news was sent out, it attracted everyone's attention. In this party, not only can you see the true face of the Holy Son, but you can also enjoy the first-class theater troupe "The Golden Skylark".
” performance, this is simply the best carnival for ordinary people who live a boring life.
There is only one problem, you need a ticket to enter - a sacred bone invitation letter.
This admission restriction blocked most people outside the theater, but there were still a handful of people who got the news from inside in advance. Before the invitation was sent, they purchased the holy bones at a high price and were qualified to participate in the party.
As the sun went west, the kerosene street lamps were lit one by one at the entrance of the Royal Grand Theatre. Under the bright light, they were crowded with people coming to attend the party.
At the same time, in the starring room behind the theater, a middle-aged man with a mustache and gorgeous brocade clothes anxiously looked at the beautiful woman putting on makeup in front of the bronze mirror and said loudly: "Barbara, look
For God’s sake, forget the original script!”
The woman named Barbara, whose delicate facial features were set off by light makeup, made the whole room brighter. She quietly combed her smooth blond hair and looked at herself in the bronze mirror without saying a word.
"On those stages in the past, what we faced was just a group of fools who were nothing!" The man waved his arms and looked excited: "But who are the viewers of tonight's performance?! They are the Holy Son in the name of the Heavenly Father!
He is the highest authority in Muxi Kingdom!"
Barbara glanced back: "Captain, I remember you once said that art is pure and not mixed with utilitarianism and status?"
Captain Jin Yunque automatically ignored the sarcasm in the other party's tone and shouted anxiously: "Fart! I was talking nonsense!"
The man carefully looked at the closed door behind him and lowered his voice: "You may not know that Muxi Kingdom has wiped out hundreds of noble lords one after another. On the wooden frames on both sides of the Yuexi Plain Avenue, hanging
Those bones of the losers. At night, the will-o'-the-wisps on the bones continue to glow, and those lights are still called the 'street lights of victory'."
The leader paused and then said: "So, don't think about challenging the Holy Son's authority or arbitrarily criticizing the divine authority in front of the Holy Son, because that is simply asking for death! Barbara, listen to me and modify it according to me
Act out the final script, otherwise you will send everyone in the group to the stake!"
Barbara pursed her lips, and the hand holding the wooden comb was bloodless from excessive exertion.
Outside the theater, Aiden, the president of the Craftsmen Association, was in a cheerful mood and greeted his friends.
The conversation between two female residents beside him attracted his attention.
A woman said: "Have you ever felt that there is always a smell in the air in Muxi City in the past few days?"
Another person nodded and said: "Yes, especially the sewage outlet and sewer outlet, the smell is particularly obvious. To put it bluntly, it smells a bit like rotten meat."
"Because of this matter, I went to the Holy Order Arbitration Tribunal specifically. They just told me that there were several heavy rains in the city last month and debris blocked the underground pipes. They would find someone to clear it. But I know that,
I just talk about helping people, but I don’t know how to do it!”
Just when old Aiden wanted to listen again, a voice announcing entry came from the entrance of the theater.
According to the number of holy bones held, people lined up in long queues to enter.
The guards at the door who were responsible for checking documents and maintaining order were comparing invitations and resident registrations while searching for prohibited items.
As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people at the entrance of the theater, and only a few people are still waiting in the long queue.
A father and daughter wearing black robes came to Konoe and handed over the invitation letter.
"Viscount Zangner? Miss Zangner? You used to be a Silver Circle noble?"
My father lifted his hood, smiled and said, "Yes."
Konoe glanced at the two of them and said, "Please let your daughter also lift her hood."
The father did as he was told and showed his daughter's harmless little face.
The guards found a sergeant who was once a member of the Silver Ring Southern Legion, and compared his appearance and accent. After confirming that nothing was abnormal, they handed the invitation letter back to Viscount Zangana, nodded and said: "Viscount
, please remember that there are only kings and commoners in the Muxi Kingdom, there are no so-called nobles. Never use your words and deeds to challenge the bottom line of the kingdom. In addition, I wish you have a good time tonight."
Viscount Zangana took back the letter and said to Konoe with a smile: "Thank you for your advice. Believe me, son, I will be very happy tonight."
"Father and daughter" followed the crowd and walked into the lobby of the theater.
Sabrina looked around curiously, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Lawrence: "By the way, how did you get your invitation?"
"This is thanks to the 'chess piece' we planted in the kingdom in advance. Without that person's tip, I would not have known the admission requirements for the party, and naturally I would not have purchased the holy bones for you and me in advance." Ke
Lawrence looked at everyone in the venue, then frowned and whispered: "It's weird."
Sabrina didn't hear the last sentence, but said to him eagerly: "Ivan has prepared enough "materials" and "fireworks" are in place. We can start tonight and let's destroy the entire Muxi.
The kingdom is turned upside down!"
Lawrence pulled the girl's sleeves, took her to the corner, and said solemnly: "Sabrina, I hope you understand one thing. The Presbyterian Church has never thought about it and does not want to become a
Enemies of Muxi Kingdom. To a certain extent, the kingdom’s attitude towards alien species and conflicts with the church are consistent with our interests. Our biggest enemy is still the church. If we can reach an agreement with the Son of God,
This kind of private covenant will create the most beneficial situation for both parties."
Sabrina pouted unhappily as she listened: "Great Elder, do you mean to put aside all prejudices, even let go of those apostates, and form an alliance with King Todd?"
"Those traitors who betrayed Taylor will naturally receive the harshest punishment. But if I have to make a choice, the secret of the 'Successor' should be the top priority, followed by the alliance with the kingdom, and finally
That’s how we clean up the traitors.” Lawrence said with a stern face: “But having said that, if King Muxi insists on not letting up on the ‘successor’, I will have to take coercive measures to get everything I want.
.”
The lights in the theater slowly went out, and the leader of "Golden Skylark" walked onto the stage. After waiting for everyone to take their seats, he said to everyone in an enthusiastic tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Muxi Kingdom.
Royal Gala, first of all, please let us welcome our great, wise, fearless, and merciful Majesty! The Holy Son whom the people admire with our most sincere hearts and most pious souls!"
The orchestra at the backstage of the theater played ritual music, and the aliens with the "light focus" ability focused and projected the light on the stage. The heavily armed guards lined up and entered the venue, guarding every passage and entrance.
On the VIP terrace on the second floor, the appearance of a figure plunged everyone present into a frenzy of cheers and prayers.
Seeing the crazy look of the people around her, Sabrina raised her head and carefully observed the aloof monarch. After a while, she said to Lawrence: "The King Muxi I imagined is taller.
Some, stronger, with more fierce expressions..."
Lawrence's eyes were also on the terrace. After a moment, he only heard him say: "It's really interesting."...
