108 Invitation to the Crystal Candlelight Theatre Company
Dixie's expression was first delighted when she heard the words of the female mage, and then she became sad, "Oh! no, my goddess, I can't answer your question. I don't know where the other side of the sea of faith you are talking about. It's embarrassing that I can't answer your first question. Please forgive me for my incompetence, and I wonder if I can compensate for my ignorance in any other way, or I will be utterly frustrated. ”
Ignoring the frustrated poet, Catherine turned to Quisling and said, "He's useless." What now?"
"No, my female disciple, don't jump to conclusions too early. Quisling pinched a strand of his beard with two fingers and twisted it back and forth a few times, "The way you asked questions was too direct. Not all questions in this world can be answered immediately, and not all answers can only be asked by one question. Why don't you try asking something else, and maybe you'll find some clues. ”
The female mage frowned, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "Then you can ask, I can only think of that one question." Catherine took two steps back and gave up her position in front of her, "And you take him as a servant, I'm useless." ”
"Hahaha, what do I want your little lover to do? The old man laughed, but Quisling stepped forward, "I'll ask you a few words." ”
"All right, young man, stand up. Quisling walked over to the windtalker and patted him on the shoulder, "A lot of times it's not necessarily that you don't know the answer, it's just that you don't understand the question. We need your help now, and I am confident that you will be able to solve our difficulties. So if you are willing to provide some convenience, my female disciple and I will be very grateful. ”
"Oh, wise Mr. Devil, you are right. Dicki nodded and stood up from the ground, "The Windtalker is willing to serve you. ”
"Then I still want to know your intentions first. The old gentleman looked at him with a smile, "You don't happen to be here for no reason, do you?" I mean, right in front of us. ”
"No, of course not. Ahh Di Xi slapped his forehead hard, his eyes swept to the female mage, and hurriedly pulled back, "I was just about to go to the theater, passing by here, and I was inadvertently attracted by the demeanor of the two of them. ”
"I don't think it's the two of you, it's probably my female disciple who is more attention-grabbing. Guisling pointed at Catherine and smiled, "I didn't expect there to be a theater here, it's quite surprising, I haven't seen a play for a long time." ”
"In that case, then you must ask Mr. Devil and Miss Catherine to enjoy it. After a 100-year hiatus, the Crystal Candlelight Theatre is finally going to perform again. Today's program is the play "Sunset" written by me. Dicky bent down and waved his hands to his sides, "In my capacity as the head of the Crystal Candlelight Theatre Troupe, I would like to extend my most sincere invitation to the two of you. ”
"Sounds interesting, but you don't have to call me Mr. Devil. The old gentleman thought for a moment and said, "Just call me Quisling." As for whether or not to go to the play, I have to listen to the opinion of my dear female disciple first. ”
With that, Gisling looked at Catherine with a somewhat narrow expression.
The troubadour, who was not too stupid, immediately went up to Catherine and invited again with a solemn bow, "O beautiful goddess, I have great pleasure to beg you to move your foot to our performance. Your presence will be the highest praise for the Crystal Candlelight Theatre Company. Today will surely be the most glorious moment since the establishment of our troupe. ”
"The characters in the drama often lack a minimum of reason, and their actions often do not conform to the logic of normal people. Catherine's comment was like a basin of cold water, "I don't have much interest. ”
"Yes, how can you not be interested? It doesn't conform to the logic of normal people, so it's a drama. Not waiting for the poor troubadour to faint in disappointment, Quisling began to relate, "I remember that you used to study theatre quite well. Isn't it not uncommon for someone to invite your little group to the Royal Theatre on weekdays? Every time you come back, you will discuss with me which actor has overdone the performance, and which unknown little play has great potential. A few years ago, Singrin, the principal singer of the Duchy of Westside, was invited to tour Daster with his troupe. He alone performed 20 performances of Thert's "The Algae" at the Royal Theatre, a record that has not been broken to this day. Didn't you go to the show for six days in a row? For this reason, I, the teacher, paid for the last two tickets for you, and you don't seem to have paid it back. Why didn't I know before that that my dear female disciple was actually a fan of drama?"
"Not interested is not interested, no matter how much you say, I am not interested, at least not now. Catherine reacted coldly to the old man's tirade, "But I see you're interested, so just go." ”
"Great!" Dixie, who had been shaky, suddenly came to his senses, and he hurriedly walked to the right side of the female mage, stretched out his left hand, and brought it to the spot where Catherine's chest was not reached, "I didn't know that you were also a veteran critic of theater. Then my "Sunset" will not disappoint you, it is a script that I forged with my soul, and it took me decades of hard work before and after. Please, beautiful goddess, I will lead you two. ”
Catherine hesitated, but put her right hand on the poet's left arm, and the Wind Whisperer led her forward. Quisling walked beside the two with his hands behind his back and grinning.
"Why did your troupe stop performing?" said the old gentleman, who quickly stepped into the role of a curious theater fan.
"Because we don't have enough actors. Dixi sighed, "Not everyone has a heart to dedicate themselves to art. At its peak, there were thirty members of the Crystal Candlelight Troupe, and even three hundred years ago there were seven or eight people. But in the past few hundred years, there has been no new blood to join, and by a hundred years ago there were only two people left. And "Sunset" is a new play I wrote more than ten years ago, and although the number of actors is small, it still needs at least three protagonists to perform. ”
"Oh, and the third actor was found?" asked the old gentleman again.
"yes, yes. The Wind Whisperer said in a brisk tone, "Finally, there is a third actor, and I have finally found it." He's a good actor who can play in his true colors, and I've wanted to invite him to join our troupe for a long time. However, he disappeared a long time ago, and recently he was lucky enough to meet him unexpectedly. Perhaps this is a sign that the Crystal Candlelight Theatre Company will return to its glory. ”
Dicki's eyes lit up as he spoke, and the demonic flames on his feet burned violently. Catherine flashed to the side quickly, so that the flames did not reach the corners of her clothes. The young poet was unconscious, and he was still immersed in excitement.
"Yes, my goddess. He danced and shouted at Catherine, "You are my lady of luck, you must have brought life to our troupe." My thoughts poured out irrepressibly after seeing you. I feel it, I feel it, my creation* is more vigorous than ever. O Catherine, my goddess, it is you who have saved me from exhaustion, it is you who have rekindled my soul. Praise the Goddess!
Catherine and Quisling come together in tacit understanding, keeping a distance from the overexcited poet. The two of them watched in unison at the flames that burned more and more on the windwhisperer's feet.
"It's noisy, it's noisy. Damn Dixie, I've heard you yelling from afar. You have the energy, why don't you go and find a third actor? The speaker's voice exploded in his ears like a thunderbolt, and his thick voice completely drowned out the detailed shouts of the windtalker. Even the flames on Diexi's feet seemed to have been attacked by a violent wind, and the flames were almost blown away.
The female mage and His Majesty the Demon King snorted at the same time, because this person's roar had an effect close to a soul roar, causing them to be shocked to varying degrees at the soul level.
