According to the broadcast of "Arcana Voice" a few days earlier, Banus and Ali both knew that the Renstadt Music Festival was scheduled to last three days on the last Saturday of the Month of Gold every three years. So, they had come to the Baron Bechg Square in a hurry to learn the grand occasion of the Renstadt Music Festival from "Arcana Voice" and hear the most touching and classic part of Mr. Evans's opera "Valkyrie" indirectly from the news interviews and other programs.
However, they did not see it coming at all. Looking at the sorcerers who were floating in midair and the combination of the dark "curtain" and the complicated silver stripes that were gradually taking shape at the center of the square, they were unable to come back to themselves for a long time.
It was not until the silver lines glowed one after another and emitted brilliant but gentle brilliance that Banus and Ali finally came back to themselves from the shock. They craned their necks and observed the front in both excitement and confusion.
"Live stream? Is the studio of 'Arcana Voice' today set in the Royal Grand Theater of Renstadt? " Although Ali had heard the term "live stream" and its basic concept in "Arcana Voice", he did not know what it really looked like.
He had learned the term "studio" from his pen pal's letters. "Allyn Impression" once published a special issue that explained the secret radio stations and interviewed the famous anchors. As the most famous gossip weekly in the Congress of Magic, "Allyn Impression" was not only loved by the arcanists but also by the citizens of Renstadt who were curious about the sorcerers' daily lives and the gossip about the big shots. Gradually, it walked out of Allyn to the literate class in Renstadt and to the major cities in the Kingdom of Holm. Its sales were already higher than those of "Arcana" and "Magic". It was a unique way for sorcerers to make a fortune.
Banus did not quite understand the term "studio", but he was shocked by the "Royal Grand Theater of Renstadt". He stammered but asked excitedly, "Can we listen to the whole process of 'Valkyrie'?"
The Kingdom of Holm was a country where plays, oratorios, and operas were popular, and even if the general musical standard was far below that of Aalto, these were not inferior to any other country.
In Sturk, the "Pearl of the Sea" on the other side of the Storm Strait, the citizens generally believed that the dramas passed down from the Kingdom of Holm were far better than those of other countries in terms of plot, content, and ideology. The same was true for operas. To put it bluntly, the operas of Renstadt were indeed better than those of Aalto. After all, in Aalto, the light of pure music was too dazzling and overshadowed other aspects. The playwrights and singers were no match for Renstadt.
Therefore, even though he was a common citizen, Banus had a special love for dramas and operas. He had been looking forward to the "Royal Grand Theater of Renstadt", which was known as the holy land of dramas and operas. Of course, because of the limitation of his financial condition and the shortage of opera singers in the town, he and Ali mostly watched dramas. They could only spend their savings to listen to an opera on occasions such as the birthday of the baron or the founding day of the town.
"If 'live stream' really means what 'Arcana Voice' said, we will definitely be able to listen to 'Valkyrie' today!" Ali was very excited.
Considering the length of "Arcana Voice", it could only replay a few classic pieces at best but not the entire opera. The opera singers that the baron of the town could invite would certainly be mediocre. Chances were that none of them could be called a singer. Therefore, even though they could not see the singers that they had admired for a long time, it was still something that made them feel grateful that they could appreciate such a top-level opera for the first time.
The best musicians, the best singers, the best opera singers, and the best theater. They did not expect that the civilians could enjoy the "luxury" that only the high nobles could enjoy!
Banus rubbed his hands in excitement. "Hehe. We're going to be noble lords for once! However, what's that curtain? Why don't we just use the radio? It's all the same anyway. "
"It should be a wall, right? Well, perhaps it's to enhance the effect. Miss Nightingale often said in 'Arcana Voice' that some listeners might experience different degrees of noise due to the signal problem … "Ali tried to find a reasonable explanation.
Banus suddenly clapped his hands. "Right. How could I have forgotten that? Ali, you are truly smart."
Ali raised his chin proudly. I told you that I'm smarter than you are!
After the silver lines were completely illuminated, illusionary and delicate patterns appeared around the "curtain". They were combined in an amazing space structure. Banus, Ali, and the rest of them were too dazzled to say anything. They felt that it was a beautiful view that they had never seen before.
The middle-rank sorcerer who floated in midair finished the final debugging and uttered a weird sound that sounded like an aria. A star in the sky suddenly glowed and poured down brilliant light.
"This is …" Banus' mouth was wide open again. A sorcerer could command the stars in the sky? Wasn't it the power of the gods?
In such a dreamy and shocking scene, the black "curtain" was dyed with a layer of pure and flawless light, which complemented the stars in the sky and created a beautiful picture together with the flying stars next to it.
The stars in the sky were gradually less bright and returned to normal. The black "curtain", on the other hand, seemed to be transparent, and the silver moonlight slowly lit up inside, driving away the darkness.
A gentle and tranquil melody drifted out. It was as beautiful as a clear lake sparkling under the moonlight, causing one's heart to calm down. It brought with it a faint sweetness, tranquility, and sorrow. It was somewhat gloomy and depressing, but also peaceful and tranquil.
Both Banus and Ali were fascinated by the light of the Silver Moon that was slowly spreading and the indescribable dreamy melody. The square was quiet.
They were no strangers to the most beautiful piano sonata. Not only would the stylish restaurants hire musicians to play it so that the passersby could vaguely hear it, but "Arcana Voice" often used "Moonlight" as the background music for their programs. However, "Moonlight" this time was better than any other performance they had ever heard before. They truly appreciated the most beautiful side of the music. Also, with the influence of the scene, how could they not be fascinated?
The cold moonlight gradually grew brighter. A white piano slowly appeared in the darkness behind the "curtain". Next to the piano, facing Banus and the rest of them, was a woman whose long hair reached her waist. She was wearing a black evening dress, and half of her fair shoulders were exposed. Her side face was soft and delicate, and her facial organs were delicate and delicate.
The "moonlight" shone on the woman, making her seem like she was wearing a layer of silver-white gauze. Her slender and intelligent hands kept jumping and dancing in the bright light, "creating" the most beautiful musical notes.
"How beautiful …"
"How moving …"
Banus, Ali, and the rest of them were completely fascinated by the scene. They did not have any other feelings except for similar thoughts.
In such an atmosphere and scene, even a 50% or 60% appearance would be very shocking.
In the silence, the first movement of "Moonlight" that was even quieter came to an end. The lady turned around and showed her beautiful and peaceful face.
"Welcome to 'Arcana Voice'. I am your old friend, Nightingale." A sweet and familiar voice came out of the lady's mouth.
"Miss … Miss Nightingale?" Banus stammered.
"A … A real person?" Ali's eyes almost popped out. It was magic. How did the curtain — no, the wall just now turn into a living person who could play "Moonlight"?
Everybody who witnessed the scene in the square was in a similar state of "stillness", including the middle-rank sorcerer who was floating in midair. He almost forgot that he was still flying in the air. Although he knew and participated in the Congress' "live broadcast plan", such an opening still shocked him greatly.
"In fact, I'm as surprised as you are that the Congress' video signal transmission with artificial planets can achieve such a high performance. This should be the first 'Quanzhen Live Stream' in history. Friends who are still listening to 'Arcana Voice' at home, don't feel that my words are strange. Just go to the square nearby and watch it. In fact, I already made a forecast last night …" Louise's sweet voice solved the audience's confusion.
"Quanzhen Live Stream?"
"We can see Miss Nightingale in Allyn in Samara?"
"Magic is too … too amazing!"
"Incredible! Incredible!"
Exclamations burst out in the Baron Bechig Square. They communicated with each other excitedly, even though they did not know the people next to them at all.
Louise smiled and said, "'Valkyrie' in the Renstadt Kingdom Grand Theater is about to begin. I won't waste your time. Now, let's leave the time to the sorcerers at the front."
The moonlight blurred everything like ripples. By the time it became clear again, Louise on the "curtain" was gone, replaced by a splendidly decorated theater. Inside, gentlemen in tuxedos or black suits and top hats were seated, as well as beautiful ladies. Their evening dresses in different styles dazzled everybody in the square, partly because they had rarely seen them before, and partly because of the admiration of normal aesthetics.
"The Renstadt Kingdom Grand Theater!" Said Ali in excitement.
Banus was both happy and a bit sad. "But I still want to see Miss Nightingale play the piano …"
… …
Inside the studio of the Sky Radio Station in the Allyn Magic Court …
Seeing that the signal had been switched to the Kingdom Grand Theater, Louise finally patted her chest in relief. "I was so nervous just now."
"Louise, weren't you a musician before? You've held a concert in a concert hall before. What's so nervous about a solo in a studio where few people are listening? "Samantha, the" supervisor "next to her, said, half comforting and half in confusion.
Louise shook her head. "No audience? There are at least a hundred thousand people watching the livestream. The thought of playing a solo in front of so many people makes me nervous and scared of making mistakes. Also, people in the concert hall mainly listen to music. Few people can see the movements of the musicians on the stage clearly. This kind of livestream is exactly the opposite. Everyone can see my every little movement clearly. If it weren't for your encouragement, I would've tried the recording that Mr. Evans mentioned … "
"That's only normal. You're bound to be nervous when it's the first time that you're in a 'full-reality stream'. Mr. Evans only mentioned the idea, and everything was designed and operated by us. However, Louise, you played very well." Samantha nodded her head softly.
Louise was more or less relaxed. She complained, "Mr. Evans should've given us proper guidance on such an important matter."
If he could hear her, Lucien could only open his hands, indicating that he didn't have any experience in that either. Satellite streaming when there were no televisions was an anomaly on Earth that could only be achieved in a world of magic.
