Chapter 195 The Royal Family Invitational Meeting (Part 2)
Seeing that the enthusiasm of the people was slowly calming down, the leader of the Golden Skylark first took off his hat with his right hand and placed it on his chest, stretched his left hand back, bent his right leg, and performed a standard Good Day salute to the king. After receiving Todd's raise of hands,
He straightened up and said loudly to the audience, "In the name of the Holy Son, I declare that the party has officially begun. First of all, Miss Barbara, who has a high reputation in the troupe, will present a solo for you."
A woman in a bright corset, dressed as a minstrel, walked onto the stage holding a salty balalaika.
As usual, she first bowed deeply toward the second floor, then sat on the long stool that had been prepared and began to adjust the final strings.
The light-concentrating variant gathers light in the hand and hits the performer in the center of the stage; the assistant holding the colored glass makes the light colorful and dreamlike.
Unlike the gorgeous and extravagant music styles in the western plains, nor the solemn singing techniques in the eastern sanctuary area, Barbara, who was born in Lone Rock City in the south, has an ethereal character in both her piano and singing, as if
It can slowly lead people's soul into dreams.
I went on a pilgrimage to Muxi
Bringing a bouquet of dianthus flowers to the people on the other side of the sea
Bright blue knight's sword, born in the flames of war
No matter life or death, please let me return to my homeland
With lots of dianthus flowers, they decorate the front yard of my hometown
Barbara was playing and singing the musical instrument in her hand, but her eyes looked beyond the audience and towards a familiar figure on the edge of the hall.
The lone wolf Randall leaned against the wall, folding his arms and hiding in the darkness. This hero, well known to the people of Muxi, was looking at the singer on the stage without saying a word.
In the aisle not far from him, Rachel read the report in her hand carefully and asked in a low voice, "Terrence has recovered from his injury."
A young woman dressed as a scholar nodded and responded, "Yes, it's more than that. The Jade Society jointly submitted an application, hoping to open a separate department for Terrence in Muxi College, with the main research directions being physics and alien species.
student, and invited His Majesty to be the president of the department, and Terrence himself to be the vice president. And "
When the woman saw the angry expression on Rachel's face, her voice became softer and quieter unconsciously, and she finally stopped talking.
"what else"
The woman did not dare to look into Rachel's eyes and whispered, "The Jade Society hopes to intervene in the affairs of the biochemical factory, claiming that the kingdom can use their academic abilities to increase the factory's output and upgrade its technical level."
Rachel's face was ashen, and under the full activation of her mental power, the paper in her hand suddenly turned into powder.
The woman lowered her head, looked at the ground, and continued the reporting work. "Lord Rachel, there are a few more things. There is a heterogeneous village living in seclusion in the northern mountains, and they moved into Muxi City, hoping to get shelter; in addition,
Sidney’s autopsy report is out”
White scraps of paper fell like snowflakes. Rachel turned and left the aisle, leaving the words "Keep an eye on those guys from the Jade Jade Society, and you can handle the rest on your own."
Barbara finished her song, and the theater hall burst into applause.
People stood up one after another to pay their most sincere respect to this famous performer and singer in Twilight City.
Taking advantage of the ten-minute gap between the host's gags, Barbara came off the stage to take a short break and then returned to the stage with other actors from the repertory troupe.
The play performed by Golden Skylark is called The Wanderer in Paradise. The main idea is that a devout peasant woman thought that a smooth-talking wandering scholar was a messenger from heaven, so she asked him if he had seen her late husband. The wandering scholar told the peasant woman that he was a messenger from heaven.
Her deceased husband was destitute in heaven, so the peasant woman gave ten silver moons to the wanderer and asked him to give them to her deceased husband.
When the farmer's wife's current husband came back and learned of the incident, he was very angry and chased her on horseback. As a result, the scholar also cheated the horse away. He trudged home from the swamp and was too embarrassed to tell the farmer's wife, so he had to say that the horse was also entrusted to the wanderer and handed over to him.
She was ex-husband. The peasant woman was very happy and told him, "I won't treat you badly after you die."
This play is humorous and can make people laugh in many places. It is a very popular work in Muxi City.
However, the work very implicitly satirizes religious utility and secular ignorance, and has been criticized and criticized by many church members.
The director of Golden Skylark once considered replacing this work with another Ode to the Divine Comedy, but was strongly opposed by Barbara, the popular star of the troupe. As a last resort, he had to add the original coda to the end of the play.
The wanderer really came from heaven and brought the peasant woman's deceased husband to her.
Although this approach destroyed the structure of the play, it minimized religious risks.
After all, the Holy Son is watching, isn't he?
Every actor in the Golden Skylark Troupe always glances at the balcony on the second floor when they go on stage. Everyone tells themselves in their hearts that the legendary King Muxi is watching their performance. The performers took out their
They exerted great energy to perform to their best level, coupled with sophisticated props and excellent scripts. From time to time, bursts of cheers and laughter could be heard in the hall, and even some of the guards responsible for guarding the work occasionally
He will also shout in a low voice.
In the audience, compared to Sabrina's concentration and immersion, Lawrence seemed a little less interested.
The former glanced at the latter and asked, "Don't you think tonight's drama is pretty good?"
Lawrence smiled and shrugged.
Sabrina added, "I have seen the Recreation Troupe from a hundred years ago and the Heloa Troupe from more than 60 years ago. The performance of this troupe is already quite good."
Lawrence looked at the actors jumping on the stage, opened his hands slightly, and said in a dazed manner, "I have no interest in this kind of story written by others. Think about it, there is a person behind all this.
, using the so-called plot to tell you when you should be sad and when you should laugh, isn't this a rather boring thing?"
Sabrina looked at the other person with a look that is hopeless and said, "I have known you for more than 70 years, and you are just a simple tragicist."
"Life is a play that begins with my own cries and ends with the cries of others. Laughter and joy are just insignificant interludes. Tragedy is the fate of each of us. But for me"
Lawrence looked at the people on the stage
The joy, anger, sorrow and joy behind the painting, leaning back towards the seat, "I am more interested in people's truest reaction to fate. For example, if a person with high moral character is given the most desperate adversity, will he because of it?
Hatred and lust slide into the bottomless abyss."
Sabrina showed a disgusted expression, "Sooner or later, this kind of thinking will destroy you."
Lawrence shook his head and changed the subject, "Look at the guards and the audience tonight, don't you see anything?"
Sabrina looked around. "It doesn't seem to be any different."
Lawrence's tone sounded a little unbeatable, "Although the number of guards has not changed, the number of successors has dropped. Also, most of the officials in the audience who belong to the royal affairs department did not attend. So, this
What does it all mean?”
"You should know what I hate most is guessing riddles and telling me the answer directly."
"The Knights of Muxi should have left the kingdom." Lawrence looked at the play that was gradually coming to an end on the stage and said with a smile, "I have to find a way to arrange a secret meeting between King Muxi and me."
