Throne of Magical Arcana

The coastal corridor of the Northland, the capital of the City Alliance, Keswick.

On the most famous "Rose Square" in the city, the ice and snow roses still blooming in the cold are like burning flames, dazzling and scorching.

But tonight, the night lights seem to disappear, and no one appreciates their beauty. The square, surrounding streets, and nearby houses, wherever the huge black "curtain" in the center can be seen, are crowded with people. Almost the same shocked expression watched the change of the "curtain" and listened to the sad and peaceful melody of "Moonlight Sonata" that sounded in the bottom of my heart.

It wasn't until "Nightingale" Louise spoke that they came back from this sluggish state, bursting out in amazement after another. There was actually a living person inside the "curtain"? Or is this something even more magical than a magic radio? A wonderful spell that allows people not only to hear voices, but also to see figures?

Miss Nightingale's words unraveled their doubts and fears, but they also attracted waves of more excitement and excitement. They had never encountered this kind of thing, and neither had their predecessors. The "magic civilization" repeatedly promoted in "Sound"? This is a manifestation of "magic civilization".

In the crowd, a man wearing a fur hat looked at "Nightingale" Louise with horrified eyes, and shook his head in disbelief. Did the Magic Council go further than the broadcast? So that anyone anywhere can see "The Valkyrie" in the Rentat Kingdom Coliseum?

And what this means, others may not know, but as an elite night watchman, I know it better than anyone else!

Since the magic radio was invented by Lucien Evans, and since the "Voice of Mystery" was broadcast, he has experienced the changes in people's ideas and attitudes towards the church in many prosperous cities along the northern coastal corridor. He didn't care at first, but The change of people's hearts may be in this silence. By the time he feels that the atmosphere around him is not right, all the details have already made people panic and fear.

Coupled with the church's failure in the "Battle of Rentat", he quickly changed from a hunter chasing prey to a prey fleeing in a hurry and hiding in Tibet.

But now, the magic radio can not only transmit sound, but also display images, what a terrible change it will bring!

Although he has witnessed everything just now, he understands how many years it will take for this model to be popularized like the previous magic radio, but the Magic Council is doing this, step by step, And the church didn't respond.

"No, you must report to the agent immediately!" He held down his fur hat, lowered his head, and retreated from the increasingly crowded crowd, and it took him a while to squeeze out.

After leaving the vicinity of the square, the surrounding immediately became quiet. The night watchman quickly found a hidden corner, took out a brooch-like magical item, and tried to tell the church what happened just now.

In a moment of impatience, he directly contacted the headquarters of the Heresy Inquisition in the holy city of Lance, but only noisy voices sounded from the "brooch".

"Asshole! The 'Voice of Mystery' of the Magic Council can be heard anywhere, and it can also transmit images, but I can't even contact the holy city of Lance. How can I fight against the magician?" He suddenly became Out of breath, frustrated and anxious.

Although he also understands that now is not what it used to be, Keswick has been controlled by the Magic Council, without the cathedral where the material transmission array and the sound transmission array are arranged, there is no way to make a transfer, so, the people lurking on the opposite side of the Storm Strait and the coastal corridor of the Northland The night watchman can no longer communicate as easily as before. The actions just now are just his subconscious habitual actions. However, the mages of the Magic Council can still rely on the "artificial planet" to communicate with Allinger in the area ruled by the church!

Such a gap is the real reason for his frustration and impatience!

The artificial planet, which seemed to be created only to challenge the authority of the true god, is increasingly shining with unimaginable light. It is definitely one of the most far-reaching alchemy items!

He took out a special cigarette from the Kingdom of Buryana, put it to his mouth with trembling hands, and held it in his mouth while gently rubbing his right hand, a flame burst out.

Lighting the cigarette, he took a deep breath to ease his emotions, and then reactivated the brooch to contact his boss, the "agent" who was also lurking in Keswick.

The night watchman gritted his teeth and thought, we must propose to the church to develop our own artificial planet!

However, he also understands that the products of this cutting-edge field of arcane research are difficult for the church's cardinals to imitate. If they "launch satellites", they have no pressure. Therefore, if there is a chance, they will capture an artificial planet of the Magic Council. Bar!

The information about the "satellite live broadcast" is transmitted to the holy city of Reims step by step, segment by segment, due to the parliament's control over its own ruling area. Perhaps before the performance of "Valkyrie" is over, Pope Benedict III has not yet can receive.

…………

Magnificent gold is the main color of Rentat Kingdom Grand Theatre. Magic crystal lamps are either hung on the ceiling or embedded on the wall, shedding pure and bright brilliance, which complements the gold.

Lucien and Natasha sat in the box, waiting for the performance of "Valkyrie".

"I've been looking forward to this opera for several years, and I can finally fulfill my wish tonight." Oliver walked in politely, took off his white gloves, and shook hands with Lucien with a smile on his face.

No matter how many differences there are in the microscopic field, he usually does not stare at Lucien, especially in the fields of drama and opera that he loves.

"I hope you like it." Lucien smiled and asked Oliver to sit down.

Apart from him, there were not many legendary magicians who were willing to attend the opening ceremony of the Rentat Music Festival. Douglas was busy with his own preparations and had no special love for opera, so he didn't show up. Brooke had almost the same reason. Vicente, because of his cold relationship with Lucien and his dislike of opera, seemed to lack interest in his daily life. It was even more impossible for Helen, who wished to devote all her time to the study of arcane arts and magic.

Some of the other legendary magicians went out, some guarded branches in various countries, and some were busy with research, and they did not appear here.

"Opera is not too interesting." Sitting next to Lucien, "Storm Master" Fernando focused his eyes on the stage, still wearing his bright red magic robe.

Seeing that "Valkyrie" was about to start, Lucien said to Natasha through a telepathic connection: "Isn't Granny Hathaway coming?"

"She may not like occasions with so many people. I remember that she is still very interested in music and opera." Natasha guessed.

Lucien nodded and didn't say anything else. Russell, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Holm below, had already begun to deliver a speech, and then announced the opening of the music festival.

…………

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister! This is the first time I've seen Your Excellency the Prime Minister, so it looks like this!" Banus said loudly in joy and surprise.

Ali pulled him and hissed: "Pay attention to politeness, or you will be reprimanded by Mr. Police. It's okay after Her Majesty the Queen is crowned, it's just a reprimand. If it was before, disrespect to the nobles will be whipped." And it's such a nobleman!

"Understood, I understand. In fact, you look at them, they are similar to me. If the policeman wants to reprimand them, I am afraid they will be reprimanded until their throats are dumb." Banus looked very excited.

After Russell announced the start of the Rentat Festival, intense final preparations began behind the curtain.

Shortly before the start of the opera, the magician in charge of the broadcast adjusted the angle of the video magic circle so that the "audience" could see the whole picture of the Kingdom Grand Theater.

"It's so gorgeous, to be able to listen to the highest level of opera in such a theater, I really have no regrets!" Banus and others praised.

Then, their attention quickly shifted from the building to the nobles passing by on the screen, and Louise's sweet introduction sounded in their ears: "This is Lord James, Duke of Pephos, and this is his wife Ms. Stephanie..."

oh! Shouts of exclamation resounded in the square like waves.

"So this is the great nobleman, and the ladies and ladies are also very beautiful..." Ali admired softly, with a well-known fanaticism in his expression. She said that she would participate in the opening ceremony...

His description is very different from the real situation, but one thing cannot be denied, due to the inheritance of active bloodlines from generation to generation, the proportion of good-looking people among nobles is much higher than that of ordinary people.

When Ali's eyes searched for the noble ladies, the picture changed again and focused on the box.

"There is Her Majesty Queen Natasha, Her Majesty 'Atom Control' Evans..." Louise's introduction suddenly paused, because the picture she saw was the same as that of Banus and others. The silver-grey sword light, the vast but colorful universe, the violent storm of lightning and thunder, and the doomsday scene where stars collapse and annihilate...

"This, what is this?" Ali and the others seemed to be stuttering today.

After Louise paused for a moment, the voice sounded again unhurriedly: "The breath of the legendary powerhouse can affect the surrounding world, so unless they restrain themselves deliberately, the only thing recorded by the image magic array is this, and This kind of situation does not appear when the normal naked eye sees it..."

"It's amazing, worthy of being a legendary powerhouse!"

"It's an amazing sight..."

This situation left a deep impression on audiences such as Banus.

The short pre-screen time soon came to an end, and a prelude began to sound. The melody hides gloom in the brisk melody, and the melodious surface hides the intensity, making people feel the opera's plot at once and get ready emotionally.

"Replacing the prelude with the prelude is a relatively popular way of creating operas recently. It can be used before each act of an opera and directly connects to the music after it..." Ali talked about the knowledge he got from his pen pal.

In the Kingdom Theater, no one spoke anymore, and began to enjoy the opera quietly.

When the prelude was about to end, the curtain slowly rose, a female monologue was sung in recitative (a tune similar to recitative), and a tall girl with no strong features appeared on the stage.

"Is this a Valkyrie?"

The audience felt that this was a bit inconsistent with the theme, and the subsequent story development was also different from their imagination. In the brisk and long melody, Princess Amansha and the king, queen, maids, court teachers, etc. showed a happy life.

However, the good times didn't last long. The king's nephew colluded with the prime minister and the head of the bodyguard and killed the king and queen by conspiracy. Thanks to the help of the maid, the princess was able to escape to the forest.

The gloom and intensity covered by the beautiful melody burst out at the beginning of the plot, causing the audience's emotions to fluctuate rapidly, both nervous about the princess and hating the villain.

At the end of the first act, during the interlude, Oliver looked at Lucien in surprise: "Is this an opera? No, I admit that this is a very good opera, but what about the composition structure? Why do I feel it more? Like a symphony?"

Prior to this, Rentat’s operas were in the form of divisions, which consisted of a series of divisions with a complete structure (including solo, duet, chorus, etc.) to form an opera. In simple terms, it centered on music and singing, and the plot served to them.

But now, Lucien's opera is more like a drama, the music matches the plot, there is no longer an obvious subsection, and each scene becomes a whole, as if there is a theme symphony throughout.
