Over the next few days, Beauty and the Devil's reputation exploded in the magic city of Norland.
The Nolan Continent was currently in the preparation period for the Universal Expo. During this period, various countries had sent envoys to visit the Nolan Continent. Not only the envoys, but many nobles and magic casters from all over the world also rushed to participate in this grand ceremony that might only be held once in a decade.
As a result, more than half of the audience that contributed to the box office of Beauty and the Devil were from other countries.
Only a very small portion of the audience were natives of Noland. The rest were mages with dual citizenship in Noland and came to Noland to study.
In just a few days, Beauty and the Devil had completely set off a wave in Noland. The plot of the movie became the topic of conversation between young people and noble ladies during afternoon tea. The golden princess dress that Belle wore had even been imitated in many clothing stores, which was what people on Earth called "peripherals."
Movies, this brand-new form of performance, began to spread with Beauty and the Devil as an opportunity. It was like a highly contagious virus.
The one who was most affected by this virus was none other than the legendary "Flower of Falosi", Carolee.
She was currently standing on the stage of the National Theater of Noland, closing the curtains for her fourth performance …
Carolee had always been absent-minded during her performance. In the past, she would still act seriously no matter how boring the play was.
The reason why she was absent-minded today was that the audience's attention wasn't on her.
There were much fewer people in the audience today. When the curtain fell, Carolee could vaguely hear the audience talking about Belle's name …
Carolee walked off the stage and went backstage.
"Why didn't you take me with you when you went to see Beauty and the Devil yesterday?"
"Didn't you get a ticket this morning too? What do you think? The mane of that demon prince must be very comfortable to the touch. "
"He's an evil …"
Carolee stood behind two women who played supporting roles in the theater. When they noticed Carolee, they immediately stopped talking.
"Young … Young Miss …"
Carolee's identity in Black Swan was absolute, because the troupe was originally founded by Carolee's father for his daughter.
"Don't mind me, you guys go rest."
There was no change in Carolee's expression. She still maintained a decent smile. The two men left in a panic after receiving Carolee's pardon.
After they left, Carolee was silent for a while. Then, she walked into the changing room to change out of her heavy dress and chose a simpler dress.
"Eldest Miss, you're not really going to look for that man, are you …"
"Have you found out his identity?"
Carolee tied up her long black hair that reached her waist in front of the mirror. At the same time, a dark shadow condensed in the mirror.
"This … Eldest Miss, it's better for you not to come into contact with that man, really."
The shadow sounded a little impatient.
But Carolee's expression was still very calm. It seemed that she had already made up her mind and did not intend to change it.
"You just need to tell me his identity and the background behind him." Carolee said.
"I've tried, but I can't find any clues."
"Can't find any clues?"
Carolee stopped combing her hair and looked back at the shadow behind her. Her expression finally showed a little surprise.
"You're the best apprentice of the Black Wood Guardians. You can't get any information just by relying on your clan's unique inscriptions of 'Concealment' and 'Perception'?"
This was the first time Carolee heard her guard say this.
"In fact, I know two places where he lives, but I don't dare to get too close to him … Because I'll be discovered. He seems to be able to feel my presence."
The shadow recalled her recent mental journey of surveillance and remembered something that she had to mention.
"Not only that, I also feel a very terrible power from him!"
"How terrible?"
This was also the first time Carolee saw her guard scared like this.
"An aura of death. I've killed a lot of Necromancers, but the aura on him is far more terrible than the sum of the Necromancers I've killed before. Plus, he has an affair with the Devil …"
The information that the shadow said was enough to create a big boss behind the dark forces.
"Then can you protect me?"
Carolee continued to comb her hair and removed all the light makeup on her face.
"Of course, no problem, wait wait … Miss, I've said so much, you still want to see him?!"
"Where are the two places he lives?"
The shadow's impatient tone did not affect Carolee. She walked out of the changing room and walked toward the periphery behind the scenes.
"I … I'm going to talk to the Duke …"
She was a little flustered, but Carolee reached out to the void and instantly grabbed a white arm. Along with the arm, a pointed ear appeared, and the ear trembled.
The surface of the arm was engraved with a large number of dark inscriptions, and the light from the inscriptions gradually began to fade.
"Keep this a secret from father, or you will know the consequences."
Carolee's wine-red pupils stared at the void calmly, as if she knew the person in the shadow was standing there.
"I … Got it."
The shadow's voice was a little vague, and finally disappeared into the distance. Carolee also opened the door and left the backstage.
"Miss Carolee!"
Professor Shalinya had been waiting at the door for a long time, and he was about to tell Carolee the next performance schedule.
But when Professor Shalinya saw Carolee's simple clothes and new hairstyle, he realized that this black swan did not want to stay in the lake!
"Miss Carolee, where are you going?"
Professor Sharinya was ready to be Caroline's tour guide at any time. Recently, he had also been suppressing a bellyful of anger, as the White Thorn Flower Theater had completely snatched away his business in just a few days!
The most infuriating thing was that he had gone to the White Thorn Theater to buy tickets more than once!
Why can't I control my hand!
This was the thought that popped into Professor Shalinya's mind at that time.
Now, the only card in his hand that could defeat the White Thorn Theater was the Black Swan …
"I heard that a new tavern opened three streets in front of the theater," said Carolee.
"Pub … pub? Miss Carolee, you can't go to that dirty place. It's full of stinky dwarves and bad drunkards! "
Professor Shalinya was not interested in dwarves. These creatures who worked as underground miners all day never knew how to appreciate art, or in other words, never contributed a ticket to his theater. Even the proud elves would bring some profit to his theater.
"Do you have racial prejudice?"
Carolee glanced at the shadow behind her. Many years ago, humans did have a great barrier against other races, such as dwarves and elves. But since the emergence of the magic city Noland, humans have not only become the center of the world, but also the center of all the races in the world.
Not only did it become the center of the world, but it also became the center of the world's various races. Under Nolan's influence, the estrangement between humans and other races gradually disappeared. Instead, it became an honor to know those High Elves or outstanding dwarven masters.
It was really rare to find a human who had racial prejudice against dwarves.
"No … Well, let me lead the way."
Professor Shalinya could not explain himself, so he could only use this reason to change the topic.
