The group arrived at the White Stone Collar.

The White Stone Collar is a viscounty.

The Arcane Empire follows an aristocratic system.

Each fiefdom nobleman had his own castle that had been passed down from generation to generation, and he also had his own domain, and they could enjoy the taxes produced in the domain and, if they held actual positions, they also served as administrative power.

Viscount Shiraishi was a hereditary nobleman.

This family has been in the territory for more than two hundred years.

Baishiling is also one of the more affluent territories in the Black Forest Province.

Most of the people living here live and work in peace and contentment, agriculture and the magic industry are relatively prosperous, and looking at the entire Arcane Magic Empire, there are still many such territories, and it can be said that there is nothing special about it.

Xiang Yun and the three walked into Baishi Town.

The Arcane Empire does not have a county-level administration.

The highest prefecture-level administrative body is the province, and under the provincial system is the city, and the lower level than the city is the town.

In the Arcane Empire, the size of the town is not much different from the county seat in Huaxia, and the total population of Baishi Town is more than 500,000, when he walks into this place, Xiang Yun has a feeling of entering a Victorian town in the British Empire.

The Arcane Empire's people have a strong resemblance to the first industrial revolution in their previous lives, and there is an industrial area on the outskirts of White Rock Town, where various machinery and equipment rumble.

Heavy, pitch-black monster-like trains rumbled as they loaded with goods and passengers in and out of the town's special railroad.

The station has a lot of traffic.

There are passengers commuting to and fro, and there are porters at work.

Everything is similar to the style of painting during the first industrial revolution in the previous life.

But the difference is that the route of this world civilization is not the traditional scientific and technological civilization.

The factories in White Rock are all magic factories, and the trains that come and go in and out of White Rock are also magic trains, and the power that drives their activities is magical power from the arcane, not a steam engine or an internal combustion engine.

The empire also has an internet built-in.

What's more, the Red Rose Theatre Company is extremely famous.

Even if there is no online communication, the residents of White Rock can learn about it through the posters hanging in the streets and alleys, and the leaflets in front of the Arcane Theater.

For an ordinary town like White Rock, where the Red Rose Troupe came to perform, it was a big deal, and at this moment hundreds of fans of the Red Rose Troupe were crowding on both sides of the road, holding flags and waving flowers, to welcome the arrival of this deadly theater troupe.

Xiang Yun was a little surprised.

I really didn't see it.

This old man Louis's troupe is quite popular.

However, now that the town has arrived, it is time to separate.

When Xiang Yun was about to leave with Yu Zixuan and Duguyue, he was suddenly stopped by Ian.

Ian glanced at Yu Zixuan and Duguyue, he is a young man in his twenties, although he has been in contact with many beauties in the entertainment industry, but he has never seen a beauty with such a temperament, and he is also a little apprehensive at this moment.

Yu Zixuan asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Ian quickly retracted his gaze, and presented three red gilded card scrolls with an arcane aura with both hands, "Grandpa Louis invites you to watch a show at the Arcane Grand Theater in White Rock Town tomorrow night. ”

Yu Zixuan took the three card rolls.

It is a pass for admission and has arcane anti-counterfeiting measures.

She glanced at Xiang Yun with an inquiring gaze, Xiang Yun nodded, and replied in imperial Chinese: "Tell Old Master Louis that we will be there on time, thank him for the invitation!"

Ian looked excited.

He glanced at Yu Zixuan and Duguyue again, and then left with the troupe.

Xiang Yun could see Ian's young man's thoughts, but he was destined to be disappointed.

Yu Zixuan and Duguyue are not small charming, Yu Zixuan is a Tianmai monk, a combination of the rigorous intellectuality of the Mohists, the nobility of the great nobles, and the temperament of a great entrepreneur.

The charm that emanates from them.

It's definitely not something that ordinary people can resist.

It's no wonder that Old Man Louis wants to recruit them into the troupe, and a young and promising young man like Ian is also excited, knowing that he will cause such trouble, and he should have let her do some disguise in the first place.

Forget it!

It's not too much of a big deal!

Xiang Yun took the two of them and began to wander around Baishi Town.

The street of Baishi Town is very lively, it is not a town at all, there is a fifty or sixty meter high clock tower in the distance, all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, in addition to banks, bars, securities companies and so on.

There should be.

It's all here!

The people on the street are generally Westerners with white skin and a high nose bridge.

Xiang Yun couldn't help but say: "From this ordinary town, it can be seen that the empire is indeed a very strong and wealthy place, and the degree of civilization development is above that of the Peacock Country. ”

Yu Zixuan said: "Of course, this is the eastern border of the empire under the jurisdiction of my grandfather, except for the western territory of the empire, which is relatively close to the imperial capital and has a large number of maritime advantages, the eastern border is the most prosperous among the four realms." ”

Xiang Yungang wanted to pat Yu Zixuan's grandfather a few times.

Who knew that at this time, Duguyue's eyes condensed slightly, and suddenly looked in one direction.

Xiang Yun noticed Duguyue's change, "What's wrong?"

As he spoke, he looked at Duguyue, the pupil of his left eye automatically opened, and his gaze passed through a street and alley, and finally locked on a group of people dressed very specially.

Twenty or thirty scrawny slaves, all covered in black robes and shackled hands and feet, were being escorted somewhere by two territorial soldiers.

Slaves?

in this world.

Slavery is still prevalent in the vast majority of places.

Huaxia is already a very rare alternative place.

It's not strange that there are slaves in the empire, but if you can attract Duguyue's attention, I'm afraid things are not so simple.

Sure enough, Xiang Yun's gaze swept over these slaves, and finally landed on the two soldiers who took the lead, one of the soldiers cultivated to an extremely high level, about the strength of the five veins, and the most important point was that when Xiang Yun's gaze passed through his body, he finally found a black shadow on his arm.

Evil aura!

The five veins of cultivation can at least be regarded as second-rate masters.

How can a person of this strength be a soldier? The dormant power on his arm should be the power of a demon, and the seal in it may be a demon fragment.

"Shadow Sect Members, ......"

Yu Zixuan was taken aback when she heard Xiang Yun's business.

She hurriedly asked, "What did you say, how could there be members of the Shadow Sect in this small place?"

Xiang Yun shrugged his shoulders: "How would I know, but these guys of the Shadow Sect have always been ubiquitous, and it is not strange to appear anywhere, this soldier does not seem to be of a high level, it is estimated that he is a small leader at the level of an altar master, and it is not a threat to us." ”

Yu Zixuan's brows furrowed: "Even this can't be taken lightly, maybe Viscount Baishi also has a problem, if necessary, we'd better investigate it." ”

A little viscount.

Honestly, don't take it too seriously.

However, when it comes to film education, you still have to pay attention to it.

Xiang Yun said: "You don't need to sneak in, you will have a good opportunity tomorrow." ”

Louis invited the three of them to the theater in White Rock Town to watch the performance, and the reason why Xiang Yun did not refuse this invitation was not only out of politeness, but also because he wanted to see the artistic expression of the world.

Art is a window to civilization.

Now it seems that there is something else to do besides enjoying the drama.

The next day, the three of them came to the Grand Theater in White Rock Town, the Grand Theater is no different from the movie theater in the previous life, most of the prosperous cities of the empire, there is an Arcane Theater of sufficient specifications, for ordinary people, going to the Arcane Theater to watch the performance is an extremely luxurious and decent behavior.

Xiang Yun took the ticket presented by Louis and passed through the security check and walked into the huge theater, the entire theater is completely closed, the light is very dim, and the venue is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people, which can be described as very magnificent.

Yu Zixuan couldn't help but say: "A small territory, there is such a big theater. ”

Xiang Yun said: "Judging from the news I heard outside, Viscount Shiraishi is a heat-resistant arcane drama lover, he is not keen on ordinary video films, but he is very obsessed with arcane drama. ”

Between the two exchanges.

Suddenly, there was a commotion.

Then I heard someone shouting.

"Lord Viscount is here!"

"Lord Viscount is here!"

Everyone looked in one direction.

A middle-aged man in a velvet dress appeared at the scene with a smile on his face, waved politely and gently, and walked into the VIP private room with a beautiful young woman in his arms.

This kind and kind middle-aged man was Viscount Brydon Wiblen with the White Stone Collar, and the beautiful young lady beside this Viscount was the Viscountess, who was also very famous in the White Stone Collar, and was known for her intelligence and beauty.

Viscount Brydon grew up loving arcane theatre.

Because of this, there is a well-known arcane theater troupe like the Red Rose Troupe, which specializes in performing in White Rock Town, and so many townspeople present can be regarded as stained with the light of this lord.

Arcane drama is different from the stage comedy in the impression of the previous life, and even different from the movie.

What is Arcane Drama called?

After all, it is a form of drama combined with arcane.

Arcane is the key to arcane drama, because in the process of unfolding the drama, all the special effects, light and shadow, and sound are all made by the arcane.

A clever arcane theater troupe can often make the drama scene extremely realistic, so that people are completely immersed in it, just like a super-large illusion, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, which is an immersion experience!

Because of this.

Arcane troupe shows are often difficult to replicate.

Each Arcane Theatre has its own story, and these stories must be matched with the corresponding technology, as well as superb acting skills and skilled actors.

A true arcane drama.

It can only be demonstrated by an arcane troupe that specializes in this field.

It can't be shown on the silver screen like a movie.

The performance fee is very high, and for ordinary people, it can only enjoy the luxury of once or twice a year, and if you want to invite a well-known troupe like Red Rose to perform, ordinary aristocrats can't do it, only the wealthy white stone collar is enough.

Yu Zixuan asked, "How is it?" Do you see the problem?"

Xiang Yun glanced at Viscount Baishi a few times, there was no doubt that this Viscount Baishi must have some problems, there was something strange about his body, but he didn't look like a member of a cult organization like the Shadow Sect.

Subsequently.

Xiang Yun looked at Mrs. Veblen next to him.

When his gaze fell on the Viscountess's hands with black silk gloves, a hint of an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Well, no hurry, observe for a while." ”

The arcane drama begins.

It was the first time Xiang Yun had appreciated such a drama.

When the arcane special effects are unleashed, everyone seems to be dragged into a whole new world, and the wonderful drama is played out right in front of them, and the wonderful sense of immersion and substitution is definitely not something that the so-called 3, 4, or 5D movies can present.

I have to say.

It's a great way to express yourself artistically.

The Red Rose Theatre Company is performing "The War of the Dragon Knights" tonight.

Frankly speaking, the plot is still relatively old-fashioned, nothing more than an ordinary child who accidentally picked up a dragon egg, accidentally hatched a young dragon, grew up with the young dragon, and finally became a legendary hero, and then defeated the demon king to save the noble princess, and finally tied the knot with the princess.

The literary and artistic atmosphere of the West is stronger than that of the East.

However, for Xiang Yun, this is still a cultural desert.

Xiang Yun was an otaku in his last life, he had watched too many movies and film and television dramas, and the dramas in this world were too low-yielding in comparison, but through the addition of arcane special effects, it was still fascinating and addictive.

One show lasts two hours.

The audience applauded.

Even Yu Zixuan and Duguyue felt that it was really good.

Yu Zixuan said with interest: "I didn't expect that the arcane drama is really interesting, if we can bring such a troupe to China, we will definitely be loved by the Chinese people." ”

Xiang Yun became somewhat interested in the arcane drama itself.

It's a bit like illusion, but it's obviously more interesting, but it's too rigid for an arcane drama to have to be performed by a troupe, and if they can be copied in mass production, it will definitely have a wider audience.

Meantime.

Xiang Yun has also been paying attention to Viscount Baishi.

His eyes can see through a person's mental fluctuations.

Xiang Yun found that Viscount Baishi, from beginning to end, his spirit did not show the slightest wave, which meant that he did not have any emotional changes.

For a normal person.

It's almost impossible!

Not to mention watching an arcane drama!

Although Xiang Yun thinks that the plot of "The War of the Dragon Knights" is old-fashioned, the overall look is indeed ups and downs and very enthusiastic.

Since Viscount Shiraishi is a well-known lover of arcane dramas, whether he is attracted to this arcane drama or not, there is no reason why he should not have a change in mood, so it can only be said that this Viscount Shiraishi must have a problem.

This was supposed to be the case.

Xiang Yun didn't want to care.

But when it comes to film education, he has to be cautious.

After all, one of the purposes of Xiang Yun's trip was to track down the clues of the Shadow Sect!
