Victor suppressed his doubts and sat down in Row 3, Seat 10, according to the seat number on the ticket.
"You're the one from the Lothar family..." someone suddenly said.
He turned his head in surprise and found that it was a woman dressed luxuriously. Unlike Tinkle, she was obviously a veteran in love and could always show her most seductive side at any time. "Victor Lothar, may I know who you are?"
"I've heard a lot about you." The woman smiled and put her hand on her chest. "I'm Denise Payton from the City of Glow in the Kingdom of Dawn."
"Oh, you're the eldest daughter of the Payton family." Victor suddenly realized. "I didn't expect to meet a merchant from the same city in a foreign country."
"I didn't expect to meet the rumored business genius here either." Denise pointed to the person beside her. "Let me introduce you. This is His Excellency Yorko, the former ambassador of the Kingdom of Dawn. It was he who invited me here."
"Nice to meet you."
Then they exchanged pleasantries.
During the conversation with Yorko, Victor also got to know a group of people from the upper class of Graycastle.
As he expected, those who could enter the theater at the premiere were basically rich and respectable. For example, most of the audience sitting in the front row were people with real power in the City hall. According to Yorko, their tickets were all given by His Majesty, so they did not have to pay a single copper royal. In the middle and back rows were rich businessmen and distinguished guests from all over the world. He even saw the Graycastle King's City Troupe in the crowd.
The threshold of 40 Golden Dragons turned the theater into a small banquet. If he could make friends with these people, the reward would be worth the ticket price.
After everyone had arrived, more than ten attendants pushed a cart out of another door and placed a strange paper bag into the groove next to the armrest of the lounge chair.
"Are these for us?" Tinkle picked up a bag and looked at it curiously. "Uh, the words written on it seem to be pop... popcorn?"
"There are also French fries and milk — so these are for food?" Victor noticed that the material of the bag marked with the word "milk" was quite strange. It looked like parchment but was extremely soft to the touch. It was just that its appearance was the same, so no one knew where to start. Fortunately, there was a drawing at the bottom of the words, which undoubtedly took into account the customer's first time using it.
When he followed the steps in the picture and inserted a transparent tube into the top seal of the bag to suck the milk inside, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of achievement.
This is so interesting!
Even the milk that was usually bland seemed to have become much sweeter.
The warm reminder, the exquisite design, and the never-before-seen packaging — even if it was filled with water, it could still sell for a good price!
The person who designed it must be an outstanding businessman.
Moreover, Victor realized that this method was not just for the sake of novelty and fun. Unlike traditional porcelain and glassware with edges and corners, these two types of bags were obviously difficult to cause harm to people. Considering the identity of the spectators, this was especially important. At the same time, the storage slot next to the chair was completely attached to the bag. Even if the paper bag was opened and placed inside, there would not be any spillage.
It was hard to imagine that such a mature combination would appear on a new product for the first time.
Just as Victor was about to taste the popcorn, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded from the upper part of the hall. "Welcome to the magic cinema in Graycastle. 'The Wolf Princess' is about to start. Please return to your seats and listen carefully to the rules of the movie. If you encounter any problems during the movie, please act according to the rules to avoid accidents. "
There was a sudden uproar in the hall because the audience could only hear the voice but could not find the speaker.
"First of all, the duration of the magic movie is two hours and fifteen minutes, which is more than two hours and a quarter. During this period, there's no rest time and you're not allowed to leave your seats. If you need help, just pull the string of the summoning bell under your seat and wait where you are.
"Secondly, this will be an unprecedented viewing experience. No matter what happens, please don't panic. Please remember that it's only a special play and not a real event. If you cause any third party to suffer any damage due to your own fault, the Neverwinter Police Department will hold you responsible. "
Hearing this, Victor could not help but chuckle. "Hey, hey, there are people in this world who take a play seriously? They even use the word "panic". It's a little like they're boasting. " He took the opportunity to glance behind him. Sure enough, the faces of his fellow actors were full of sarcasm.
However, Tinkle did not feel anything wrong at all. She even nervously grabbed the armrest of the recliner.
Perhaps to give them some time to digest the information, the voice sounded again after a few breaths. "Then, please enjoy this dream-like time."
"Now, let the show begin!"
As the voice fell, four clusters of Magic Stones of Lighting slowly rose and disappeared into the dome. The hall immediately darkened.
"What does this mean?" The light source directly affected the overall effect of the play. This was the reason why open-air theaters were so popular. If there was no light, how could the audience appreciate the details of the performance? The smile on Victor's face widened even more. He was getting more and more curious as to how he was going to clean up the mess after making it so mysterious at the beginning.
However, before he could stop smiling, he was stunned in the next second.
After a flash of white light, his field of vision instantly turned pitch-black. This was definitely the darkest darkness he had ever seen. It was no exaggeration to say that it was an abyss. Not to mention his front, back, left and right, even the chair he was sitting on had disappeared without a trace! If it was not for the feeling under his butt, he would have jumped up.
But what was even more unbelievable was that Victor found that his body was also completely hidden in the darkness. Even if he put his hand in front of his eyes, he would not be able to feel anything. He could no longer tell whether it was because it was too dark or because he had been completely deprived of his vision.
The turmoil in the hall proved that he was not the only one who was surprised. The shouting and wrangling among the audience filled the air with a tense atmosphere.
"Panic is not just for show!"
If it was not for the warning at the beginning of the show, the audience would have already fallen into chaos.
At this moment, a gentle light sprinkled down from above, dispersing the darkness and illuminating the hall again. However, the audience did not calm down because of this. Instead, they all gasped.
"Oh my god," Victor also widened his eyes. "What … is this?" The scene in front of him was no longer in the theater, but had moved to the sky!
He could hear the cold wind blowing in his ears, and he could clearly see the sky with snowflakes flying. There was nothing under his feet. He was at least a thousand feet above the ground. The mountains and forests had turned into gray and white spots, like children's graffiti. This experience that he had never experienced before made Victor tremble all over. He almost used all his strength to hold on to the armrest and curl his body into the "invisible" recliner. It was as if it was the only thing that could support him. If he slipped, he would fall from the sky and not even his bones would be left.
"In a mountain capital in the distant north, there live two lively and lovely princesses, and our story begins here …" It was not until the narration began that he realized that he was still watching a play and not being summoned to heaven by God.
"There are people in this world who can take a play seriously? "
Victor wanted to cry but had no tears. Who would have thought that the magic movie would be like this?
