Chapter 284: Lead-in
Black curtains, red chairs, pale yellow floors, vaulted tops...... It is a very classical theater and the only theater in Winstontown.
At this time, about 100 spectators were enjoying the musical performed on the stage, a musical called "The Battle of Misty Bay".
According to the poster that hangs prominently outside the theater, this is based on a real historical event.
Although he is a real scumbag in other disciplines, Tang Qi still learns well in the course of history, and there is a real scholar by his side, so he doesn't need to worry about being confused.
The so-called Battle of Misty Bay refers to the Condor era, when the Federation's War of Independence was fought to the final stage, and an Anglo Navy planned to quietly land in the Misty Bay and attack the Independence Army from behind, but they did not expect this plan to be known by Samuel Winston, a great pirate at the time, known as the "Navy Traitor" and "Immortal Earl".
Winston made amazing choices in this war.
He piloted his "Immortal" and led thousands of his most elite pirates to attack the Anglo Navy in the fog, and successfully annihilated this navy.
This battle almost completely confirmed the victory of the War of Independence.
At the same time, Samuel Winston became the most honorable ally of the federal government and a thorn in the side of the Anglo Empire. The queen even ordered the army to hunt down Samuel Winston, a traitor.
It's a pity that the Anglo Empire was already setting at that time, and it was unable to hunt down the whitewashed Earl Winston.
......
Donkey and Sally, from the best vantage point, enjoyed the well-rehearsed musical.
Unlike Sally, who was seriously appreciating the music inside, Tang Qi's attention was completely attracted by some details that were faintly visible inside.
In the history books, or in Sally's dictation.
It's just a rough description, but the interpretation of the musical in front of you can show the details.
For example, in the naval battle, as the "deputy" of Count Winston, Tebat appeared.
According to the script, Tebat was supposed to be Samuel Winston's most trusted lieutenant at the time, and there was no doubt about his loyalty to the Earl.
With each charge, Tebat followed the Count closely.
Even, more than that.
At this moment, the scene is going on on the stage: Count Winston personally led his men to launch a ship battle against the naval chief's warship, and after the two warships were linked, he personally rushed up, and after killing the leader of the other party, he was accidentally injured by a "wizard" who accompanied the ship with poison.
The real history is not the so-called poison.
It's a curse!
Or, some other nefarious means.
In the moment of the Count's life and death, it was Deputy Tebat who stepped forward and sucked the poison out, for which he almost paid with his own life.
The real history may also be Tebat's shot, but it is certainly not the so-called "drug use", it should be another way, but it should be true to save Samuel Winston with his own life.
Through these details, it is not difficult to see.
Even through the fog of history, you can see Deputy Tebart's loyalty to Count Winston.
There is even a faint feeling that goes beyond the scope of loyalty.
"Need more information!"
Tang Qi looked at the actors who were taking a curtain call and said silently.
Tonight seemed to be the last, and the crowd began to disperse.
Sally didn't get up, but after Tang Qi nodded, she took out the comic "Legend of the Immortals" from her bosom and said straightly: "Unblock!"
As her words fell, there seemed to be some strange changes in the comic book in her hand.
An invisible fluctuation that began to pour out.
Witch sigil, back in action.
In just a dozen or so breathless moments, Tang Qi and Sally, both of whom looked pale and left the theater at the same time, followed a branch of the main street, and soon appeared on a street that was not long, but very distinctive.
The atmosphere here is completely different from that of Main Street.
The dim lights are full of mystery, art, and there are no restaurants or ready-to-wear stores or anything like that, but there are narrow and strange grocery stores, antique shops, or shops that you can't see anywhere else.
For example, a typical, gypsy witch soothsaying shop.
There was a gloomy atmosphere, old cupboards, and all kinds of potions on them, witchcraft artifacts used for transport, or some crystal balls, and in the deepest part, the Gypsy witch who had to be lifted to see her true face......
Tang Qi and Sally walked straight to the witch shop area, but they skipped the store and entered a small bookstore next to it.
Compared to the mysterious Divination Shop, this bookstore is small and mundane.
It's just that the furnishings inside are extremely messy, there are almost no books, they are honestly placed on the shelves, either crookedly, or simply dropped on the ground, and each book is old, not like a newly published book, like a lonely old book with a history of decades.
The owner of the entire bookstore is like a "hoarder" with serious symptoms.
The two struggled to find a place to put their feet, and then they saw the only exception, the "comic booth" in the very center.
There are neatly arranged volumes of comic books with a fresh fragrance, and the author of each book has the same name.
"Esmeralda!"
Don Qi and Sally, both saw the name.
Sally was surprised, she obviously didn't expect that the leader of the witch group would actually draw comics, and publish so many copies.
Tang Qi had a hunch, after all, the comic "Legend of the Immortals".
Not to mention the content inside, but the painting skills shown on the cover are difficult to master if you haven't studied them carefully.
Transcendentals can't just learn the skills of ordinary people, unless they all cheat like Tang Qijie's "Wonderful Hair Knot".
Tang Qi walked over, and when the names of the comics came into view, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch again.
"Witch leader, it's not like you're threatening other publishing houses with witchcraft, are you, these street comics are released, and someone really buys them?"
can't blame Tang Qi for thinking so, it's really that the comic names that appeared at this time are too spicy.
What he saw were "The Legend of the Mysterious Witch", "The Great Adventure of Merada", "The Legendary Gypsy Girl", "The Detective and the Witch"...... Tang Qi, as a scumbag who likes to read messy books and comics the most, said that these comics, if you only listen to the name, give him for nothing, and he doesn't want it.
However, as a top student, Sally picked up a copy of "Merada's Great Adventure" with great interest and was about to enjoy it.
At this moment, the small bookstore suddenly changed.
But I saw that those messy books all jumped up and flew up automatically, neatly returning to the bookshelves, and the heavy dark yellow wooden bookshelves also rumbled and moved, like a rotating labyrinth, turning under the gaze of the two.
Not long after, a neat, clean bookstore appeared.
Tang Qi's gaze suddenly looked at a bookshelf.
There, a figure that seemed to be lying on its edge was slowly walking out.
"Buzz!"
Just for a moment, under Tang Qi's eyes, a rich ghostly light surged out.
ps: The third update is here! There are three more during the limited exemption period, this author is too conscientious, I really want to vote for him.
