“attentease！ attentease！ Due to the track malfunction, the Star of Europe will be suspended from now on. Passengers who have purchased tickets, please proceed … "
"Attentease …"
They were suddenly in a mess as they made a ruckus in the waiting hall of the train station.
How could this be?
The orc girl looked at the translation software on her phone in surprise. She was preparing to log in to the Star of Europe as an 'extra' method. She couldn't help but frown.
"Sister, what's going on?"
The orc girl didn't say anything. She just put on Oga's hood and quickly pulled him to a place where no one was around while explaining what happened.
"Malfunction?" Oga was quite surprised when he heard the reason. He couldn't understand English, but he could see the time on the electronic clocks that were everywhere. "Then we …"
"Let me see if there are any other routes. Don't worry, there will be a way." The orc girl comforted him softly. "We can just wait until the repairs are done. This route won't be closed forever. Maybe it will be fine tomorrow."
Although that was the case, she felt that it was quite dangerous to be chased by people in this foreign country for one more day … Other routes? Other than this underwater tunnel that crosses the ocean, where else could there be?
Taking a boat … She didn't want to take a boat anymore.
Not only was she traumatized after being caught by the orc traffickers, but she was also instinctively afraid of the ocean. She was an orc who couldn't swim and was afraid of water.
As for the plane … Obviously, it wasn't as convenient as taking the train.
"Let's leave here first …"
The orc girl pulled Oga and left the train station while the passengers were in a mess.
…
…
The Queen's Theater, Her Majesty the Queen's banquet.
"… Okay, I understand." After putting down the phone, Lancelot came to Her Majesty the Queen's side. Looking at Her Majesty who seemed to be a little absent-minded at the moment, he said, "Mr. Hopkins called. The knight's organization in various places has successfully captured all the members of the 'Myth of Doomsday' on the attack list obtained from Reid's mouth. Because it was deployed in advance, there was only one seriously injured and four lightly injured. "
"Oh … That's good." Although she was absent-minded, Her Majesty had obviously received the message. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Thank you for saving our country again."
For this queen, although the current political system did not allow her to have the authority that a monarch should have, it was clear that she did not wish to become a monarch who was threatened by others and eventually divided the country, thus leaving a stain on her name.
"I should reward the person who successfully captured Rend, don't you think so, Lancelot?" The Queen's mood seemed to have improved a lot. She even smiled more often.
"Perhaps it would be better for you to discuss it with Mr. Hopkins." Lancelot said slowly, "Although we've arrested almost all the members of Mythical Doomsday who were active in our country, according to the intelligence, the leader of this organization and a few other key members have yet to show up. Therefore, this matter might not be over yet."
Her Majesty seemed to have recalled the past. As she slowly combed her pet's fur, she said slowly, "In my life, I've seen many so-called revolutionary parties and underground organizations … They all have one thing in common. Do you know what it is?"
She glanced at Lancelot, whose expression did not change at all. She smiled and said, "That is, they all value their companions very much. If Mr. Hopkins and the other people in charge of the knight's organization are smart, perhaps they can try to publicly execute these captured thugs … "
Lancelot opened her mouth slightly … She had been protecting the Queen closely for the past two years.
Most of the time, the Queen had an amiable image … an image that her people needed.
Even for Lancelot, who had known the Queen for such a long time, most of the time, the Queen was indifferent, as if she did not know anything and did not want to care about anything.
However, after all, the Queen had experienced the baptism of war and was currently the longest-serving Queen in the world …
"Oh, the show has finally begun." Her Majesty suddenly picked up the handheld glasses at this time. "Finally, it's time."
She seemed to be unwilling to continue the previous topic. Her interest had been attracted by the slowly rising curtain.
Lancelot followed the Queen's gaze. While looking at the stage below, she subconsciously glanced at other places, but she did not see the mysterious man and woman.
Behind the Queen, Lancelot took out the metal rose and fell into deep thought.
At this time, it was quiet all around. On the stage, under the dim light, as the curtain rose, the low voice of the prologue slowly sounded.
"Princess Turandot of the Xiang Kingdom, as beautiful as peach blossoms, as cold as frost. The prince of the royal family is obsessed with the love of beauty. A single woman with a heart of steel, testing the prince consort with three difficult questions, a butcher's knife flashing cold light … "
…
Different from the story of the brass band, the human voice, and the symphony orchestra on the stage, the back of the stage was much more chaotic.
No matter the actors who were preparing to go on stage, the actors who had just stepped off the stage and were busy changing clothes, the staff responsible for props, or the backstage director … everyone was in an urgent and tense atmosphere.
With the development of the plot, there were obviously more and more things that needed to be taken into consideration.
"Caesar! Caesar? Who can tell me where Caesar is! It's his turn to go on stage! Who can tell me where the missing male lead is? "
The manager of the troupe was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Not to mention the usual situation, he would be furious when he couldn't find the actor before the performance, let alone this was the most important male lead role. What's more, Her Majesty the Queen of Britain was here today … If something went wrong, he would be fired as the manager.
"You didn't see him? Hurry up and bring him back!! "The manager of the troupe flew into a rage." Three minutes! I'll only give you three minutes. If you can't find him, don't let him come back!! Pasteur, get ready. If Caesar doesn't show up in three minutes, you replace him! You're the male lead tonight! "
Changing the lead actor at the last minute, and it was the most important male lead in the play, this was probably only slightly better than messing up the performance … The manager of the troupe kicked the prop clothes rack rather inelegantly. "Why aren't you looking for it!!!"
…
Failure.
Failure.
Team annihilation.
Failure …
On the screen of the mobile phone, messages flooded in … They were all sent by the same name: Dobas.
The man was silent from the beginning to the end. He was wearing an ancient Chinese costume with strong western elements.
Caesar … He was the actor of Kafra, the male lead of Turandot Troupe.
He was not the only one here. There was another old man in the same costume who was the actor of Prince Kalaf's father.
"Caesar, Dobas' information can't be wrong … We've failed this time." The old man's face was heavy, "Sure enough, the Knight Mechanism has pried open Reid's mouth! They already know everything about us! How did they pry open Reid's mouth in such a short time?! He's the kind of guy who will keep the secret even if he dies! "
The man with flaxen hair … Caesar slowly put on his costume hat. He even prepared his makeup in front of the mirror, "Let's prepare for the performance last time."
"Caesar! Most of our companions have been caught by the Knight Mechanism! They may not keep their mouths shut … Look, even Reid's mouth was pried open! Our whereabouts may have been leaked … Retreat, Caesar! We can still accumulate strength and wait for the next opportunity. "
He had finished his makeup and stood up, "Judas, do you … know why the Queen suddenly came to this theater today?"
"You … you have a backup plan?"
Under the old man's surprised gaze, Caesar pushed the door open and walked out.
…
On the side of the stage, three minutes had passed. Under the anger of the troupe manager, the performance was delayed for another minute.
"There's no other way! Pasteur, get on the stage now! Don't mess up the performance, or I'll poke your ass with a wooden stick! "
The young man's face was as bitter as a bitter gourd after being squeezed with salt powder. He was even pushed by the troupe manager from behind.
"Wait … Caesar is here! Oh! My God, he's on the stage! "
This wasn't the Metropolis version of Turandot, so they didn't use the 'sea of people' tactic … However, there were many actors on the stage.
The lights moved to the center of the stage, and a handsome man slowly walked down from the stage steps … He became the focus of everyone's gazes.
The music began to play under the conductor's baton. This was the first scene of Prince Kalaf's appearance. It was about Prince Kalaf's unexpected reunion with his old father in King's City.
Under the dazzling lights, His Royal Highness sang slowly with a low voice that gradually rose to a high pitch.
Disappear, the night!
The stars were sinking, the stars were sinking!
I'll win at dawn!
I'll win!
I'll win!
The instrument stopped, and the conductor's baton froze in the air as if it was difficult to wave it … The performance of the orchestra also stopped.
Under the surprised gaze of the audience, only the solo of the handsome man under the stage lights could be heard.
…
"… This is the last part of 'No One Sleeps Tonight'? Is Caesar crazy?! "The theater manager froze as if he had been struck by lightning!
This guy didn't follow the script; instead, he sang the last few songs!
He felt the world was spinning … He didn't know how to deal with this sudden crisis. "Oh, my God, Pastu, knock me out with your wooden stick!"
"I … Where did I get the wooden stick?"
…
"Lancelot, tell me, did I miss the first part of the song? If I'm not senile, this should be the last song. "
During the banquet, the Queen put down her glasses in surprise and looked back blankly, only to find that her guardian knight wasn't listening to the performance attentively.
She just looked at the metal rose in her hand silently as if she was absent-minded.
…
What should I say?
Different from the temporary confusion of the audience, Boss Luo, who was sitting in a corner of the public seats, blinked and then turned to look at his maid … Is it really not suitable for me to walk around? "
The servant girl didn't have much expression on her face. She just looked at the stage with her eyes moving slightly.
But at this moment, a lot of smoke suddenly appeared around the stage … It wasn't special smoke, but a substance that would make people unconscious after inhaling it!
The audience in the front row had inadvertently inhaled the gas and fell down on their seats. At this moment, people began to panic.
They stood up in horror, pushing each other and screaming in horror. However, not only under the stage, but also at the ventilation ducts around the stage, the fainting gas also came out.
The audience fell down one by one … On the stage, the actors had already fainted, including the people on both sides of the stage.
At this moment, only the actor who played Prince Kalaf and the old man who played the prince's father were still standing among the many people who had fallen down.
He was still singing loudly.
Fate is as changeable as the moon, alternating between full and empty;
The abominable life intertwines misery and happiness;
No matter poor or rich, they all melt and disappear like ice and snow.
The terrible and empty wheel of fate, you turn mercilessly. You are vicious and cruel, destroying all the happiness and beautiful expectations. The shadow shrouds the blurred, and you also knock me down;
Disaster comes, and my back is mercilessly crushed by you.
Fate destroys my health and will, mercilessly strikes, brutally oppresses, and enslaves me.
At this moment, don't hesitate.
For the most senseless warrior who has been beaten down by fate, let the strings of the harp resound, and weep with me in sorrow!
Stop.
…
His voice echoed in the theater. The thick fog slowly sank, then diluted in the air and gradually dissipated … Caesar slowly sighed.
Suddenly, a clear round of applause rang out in the deathly silent theater.
Everyone should have fainted … At the moment of applause, both Caesar and the old man beside him, Judas, looked at the direction of the applause in surprise.
On the seats of the stairs, among the people who had fallen down, they could see two people sitting in their seats, sober …
The applause came from one of the sober young men … Luoqiu's hands.
It wasn't just to attract the attention of the singer on the stage … Boss Luo's applause stopped after a while.
"Excuse me, is there anything else?"
