Chapter 808: The old man's heart is really big
Eastern of the Empire.
Black Forest Province.
A squad of about fifty people.
Sneak in a beast cart in the twilight wilderness at this moment.
The main members of this team are mercenaries, and under their protection are the members of the Red Rose Troupe.
The Red Rose Theatre is one of the most well-known theatre companies in the Black Forest Province, and has completed more than 100 successful performances in the past three years through their superb acting, wonderful storytelling, and skilled arcane special effects.
Nowadays, the fame has grown.
Invitations from aristocrats or wealthy businessmen from all walks of life can be said to have received soft hands.
This time, he was going to participate in the territory of a viscount, and in order to protect his own safety, he hired more than 20 reputable and powerful mercenaries to protect him.
The Empire is one of the most powerful powers in the world.
In addition to the mysterious Chinese Celestial Empire in the East.
It's hard to find a richer and more powerful place in the world than an empire.
Therefore, compared to most places in this world, the security of the empire can be regarded as outstanding, but even so, every time you go far away, there are great uncertainties and risks.
If you take a magic airship or a magic train, the situation is relatively better, but if you are directly shuttling in the wild, then it is difficult to guarantee that you will not encounter anything unexpected.
For example, a murderous monster, such as a terrifying devil, or a crazy and evil fallen mage, in order to ensure their own safety, it is necessary to hire a mercenary, and no one will joke with their lives.
"Stop!"
The mercenary captain suddenly let out a low sigh.
Several of the beast carts in the middle of the rush immediately slowed down.
Louis, director and director of the Rose Theatre, pulls back the curtain on the cart.
He looked at the mercenaries outside with some suspicion and some vigilance, "What's wrong?"
A mercenary young man immediately said: "There are several unknown people in front, and our captain is verifying the origin of the other party. ”
Hear this.
Louis's brow furrowed.
This place is in the middle of nowhere.
There are no towns for hundreds of miles, there are no villages in front of the village, there are no shops in the back, and it is getting late, how can anyone wander in the wilderness? This is not normal!
Louis had to deepen his vigilance and secretly clenched his staff, as a troupe member who had toured with his family troupe since he was a child, Louis had also experienced several dangers, both the brutality of fierce beasts and the siege of robbers.
Now.
Louis is already a well-known director of the Arcane Empire.
When people become famous, they are easy to provoke right and wrong, and there have been many powerful people who have sinned over the years, especially his works have a lot of satirical elements, which annoyed many rich or big people, even if someone tries to find a killer to assassinate him, he will not find anything strange.
But Louis was not afraid.
He himself is a strong arcane mage.
Otherwise, there is no ability to become the leader of this troupe.
If the other party really has bad intentions, Louis does not recommend letting him see the power of a five-vein arcane mage.
In addition, the defense force of this team is not only mercenaries, none of his twenty or so members of the group are ordinary people, each of them practices fighting spirit or magic, and their strength itself is not inferior to that of ordinary elite soldiers, otherwise they would not be able to create arcane special effects and show perfect dramatic combat.
About a few minutes passed.
A mercenary came over to report: "Your Excellency Louis, there are a man and two women in front of you, who claim to be travelers from Huaxia who have appeared here because they have accidentally lost their way. ”
"Traveler of China?" Louis was a little surprised, "can you be sure?"
In these years, the signboard of Huaxia is still very useful.
Bandits who generally block the road and rob are unlikely to have a Chinese signboard.
Because the empire is far away from the Chinese world, few Chinese people will come here to beg for a living.
Generally, there are Chinese people who have the ability to come here for hundreds of thousands of miles, and none of them are general.
The mercenary replied: "Look at their appearance and attire, they do look like they are from Huaxia, it is difficult to judge whether they are true or false, but from our experience, they should not look like thieves." ”
Louis nodded: "Bring it here." ”
A few minutes later.
Three Chinese were brought over.
They were indeed dressed in China and young beyond Louis's imagination, and the two women were particularly eye-catching, one of them had long silver-white hair, and her temperament was as cold as frost, and her appearance was stunning, like an ice sculpture beauty.
The other looks the same, but it seems to have a little Western blood in comparison, with a noble and calm temperament, and a feeling of a capable strong woman.
Two ladies.
It's all a role!
Louis had a sense of amazement.
He is in his sixties, and he doesn't have much desire for women themselves, but out of professional habits, he subconsciously compares them with the actors in his troupe.
Finally, the conclusion is drawn.
If your own troupe can have such actors.
Then the fame of the red rose is not only limited to the province, but can even become a well-known ace troupe in the entire empire, and he can't help but feel a little moved in his heart, but the identity of the other party is unknown, and he is not good at rashly tempting, so as not to lose his manners.
Compared to two ladies.
The only male is unremarkable.
He doesn't look bad, but he uses a black cloth covered with runes to overlap and seal his right eye, which inevitably gives people a strange and weird feeling.
With Louis's eyesight, it is not difficult to spot.
The two ladies centered on the young man.
Judging from the temperament of the three, they really don't look like robbers.
Louis said, "We are planning to go to Fort Whitestone to prepare for the show, and if you don't like it, you can follow our team to the Viscount of Whitestone, which has a magic train or magic airship to the outside world. ”
"In that case, it's the best. The mixed-race woman thanked her in the standard Imperial lingua franca, "Thank you, sir!"
These three are none other than them.
It was Xiang Yun, Yu Zixuan, and Duguyue who had just arrived here.
The current situation is basically the same as what Yu Zixuan said, they are located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, similar to Turkey in the previous life, and belong to the eastern border of the Magic Wizard Arcane Empire in this world.
Speaking of which.
Zixuan's grandfather.
He is the guardian of the eastern realm, one of the four dukes.
Coming to this area now is no different from coming home.
However, the eastern frontier of the empire is not a city district, but an entire large region.
Judging from the information revealed by Yu Zixuan, there are five provinces in the eastern border of the empire, and the size and area of each province is equivalent to that of a state and county in Huaxia, and the Duke's Castle is still a considerable distance from here.
But.
Xiang Yun went out this time.
Originally, it was for the purpose of a study tour.
He was not in a hurry to meet with the Duke of the East immediately.
Since he came to this place, he wanted to have an in-depth understanding of the customs of this place, as well as the state of civilization, the cultivation methods of various schools of practice, and so on.
The Mediterranean civilization was the focus of the trip.
Xiang Yun believed that this prosperous region, which was almost second only to Huaxia, would definitely be able to find what he was looking for, so unlike exploring the Peacock Kingdom, he had to learn more about this place in more detail.
on this.
Yu Zixuan also expressed his support.
The last time I came here was when I was young.
She had only been in her grandfather's castle and had never been anywhere else, so she was very unfamiliar with this place.
Louis walked down from the beast cart with a pair of young men, a man and a woman, with the same blond hair and green eyes as Louis, who seemed to be Louis's juniors.
Luis introduced it.
The tall, handsome, powerful young man was named Ian.
Another tall, plump and beautiful young woman named Hena .
Ian and Heina are both grandchildren of Louis, the Louis family has been on the art path since 50 years ago, Louis's grandfather, Louis's father, and Louis all work in the Itinerant Theater Company, and now Louis's grandson and granddaughter are also the backbone members of the theater company.
This is also an art that is passed down from generation to generation!
Louis asked curiously, "Where are you from in China?"
Yu Zixuan replied politely: "We are all from the Western Chu Kingdom of China. ”
Louis nodded and said: "Huaxia is a good place, I heard that the wealth and prosperity are not inferior to ours here, and even above our place, but I don't know how the theater industry in Huaxia is?"
This question stopped Yu Zixuan.
Because of the special type of this world civilization, the development of the literary and artistic field is not very good, and there are also workers in film and television dramas in China, but there are not too many film and television dramas and dramas in the Chinese region, but the West has a lot of demand in this field.
Although Louis had never been to Huaxia, he still had a little understanding of the situation over there, and now seeing Yu Zixuan's slight hesitation, he already had an answer in his heart, so he smiled and said: "In our place, arcane drama is very popular, and it is an honorable thing to become a master of arcane drama. ”
A few people came back to their senses this time.
They all looked at Louis with strange expressions.
Isn't this old man trying to recruit a few people to join the troupe?
Xiang Yun was a scholar of Huaxia University, a general of the Western Chu Hussars, and a merciful salian of the Peacock Dynasty.
Yu Zixuan is the successor of the Yu family in Western Chu, the granddaughter of the Duke of the Eastern Territory of the Arcane Empire, and the chairman of the Xuanji Network Group.
Even if it is the mysterious Duguyue, he is also an existence that has reached the immortal realm in terms of strength and has reached the peak of the Tongtian realm in the realm.
Three such people.
Running to your troupe as an actor?
The old man's heart is inevitably too big!
