Chapter 119: Wen Dou
The Goethe-Theater is a huge building in the shape of a sail.
This time, in order to invite the Royal San Antonio Theater to perform here, the Goethe-Institut not only spent a lot of money, but also entrusted a lot of favors and connections.
Mankind loves opera more than anything else, and there is no other show that can match it except the bloody hand-to-hand combat of the Colosseum - in this sense, humans are also a very warlike and bloodthirsty race.
San Antonio is only a small sovereign state in the realm of mankind, where men and women are as weak as the Andean trade winds, and weak citizens represent the military strength of the country.
Just as the mighty Pompeii Empire could never produce literary masters, San Antonio is the most famous cultural and artistic capital in the human realm, and their royal troupe represents the highest artistic level in the whole San Antonio and even the entire human world.
It is not without the slightest reason that human beings despise other intelligent races, first of all, from the perspective of martial arts, human beings are far inferior to elves in terms of magic comprehension, far inferior to orcs in physical fitness, and far inferior to dwarves in metal smelting level, but they rely on force to expel these three intelligent races and dominate the vast majority of the territory of the entire Aegean continent. Let's take Wenzhi again, take the recognized elegant manners and handsome elves, with their comprehension of art, they have never created such elegant performance art as "opera" and "dance", and they are unheard of for all kinds of beautiful fancy singing voices developed on the basis of opera.
Singer is the soul of every troupe, an excellent singer, in the singing exercise, its degree of hard work is indescribable, in addition to the congenital roots, the acquired hard training is also very important, without more than ten years of hard work, even the door can not enter.
Suddenly, a large number of famous magnates arrived, which suddenly made the entire Goethe theater boil, although the VIP box on the second floor was already full, but it did not take much time to make room, the owner of the opera house was a giant of the merchants' union, such a rich man in front of the dignitaries, obviously a little trembling, by the principality of the prime minister to explain the intention, the boss immediately to do everything as quickly as possible.
When the beautiful female announcer, on a stage covered with rich velvet, succinctly explained to an audience of more than 20,000 that the singers of the Kingdom of Bimon and the Royal Troupe of San Antonio would be in a special contest, the surprise was greeted first by astonishment, then by thunderous applause.
The saying that art has no borders is well represented here.
In the VIP box on the second floor, most of the magnates were also waiting to watch, and many aristocratic women were even quietly laughing - would these Beamon dance a hula dance as an art?
Bishop Kaka's remarks were the meanest, and in his opinion, the Bimon orcs should be unclothed barbarians, or the kind of cannibals with big mouths and green fangs, and the only way they could express their art was to beat the drums of war on the battlefield.
This time, he was surrounded by the protection of the Holy See's paladins and dragon knights, and became more and more presumptuous, and all kinds of slanderous words popped out of the leaky mouth from time to time, such as Beamon can have ** sons with each other, and can marry his own mother as a wife, these unrelated remarks are half speculation and half taken for granted, and they emerge in endlessly.
The group of nobles who surrounded the bishop knew and knew about Beamon in much the same way as the cardinal's, and although they admired the amazing beauty of several Beauties, it did not prevent them from having a sense of superiority that was as bulging as their walletsβthat humans always had a sense of superiority over intelligent beings of other races.
The only people who don't have this superhuman sense of superiority are the two heads of the Sherpa family, because they have been dealing with the Beamon kingdom for many years, the Sherpa family knows Beamon much better than these nobles who are proud of their family history, and they only feel amused by those ridiculous remarks. Except for idiots, the two of them really couldn't find a word to describe the arrogance of these big people, this group of Beamon envoys completely overwhelmed all the heirloom jewels of the Dollot nobles in terms of jewelry alone, and in terms of demeanor and conversation, they were far more elegant and decent than most of the nobles here, why did Beamon have to run around naked?
Of course, there are some nobles with a long family history who naturally disdain this kind of behavior of lowering others and raising their own value, and they, like the two Sherpa family heads, choose to remain silent.
Liu Zhenzhen found this polarized aristocratic classification really very interesting, and the arrogance and modesty and prudence of human beings can always be seen on one occasion.
The show soon began, the expensive magic spotlights blurred the light, and all the seats except the stage fell silent in a deep darkness.
The performers of the Royal Theater of San Antonio are indeed detached, most of the audience has already heard this very beautiful symphony "Cape Naren Carmen", but it still won the applause of the audience, a conductor controls the performance of hundreds of people, the layered music is opened one by one, each instrument in the process of alternating in the process of clearly expressing its own timbre, and then blended together to form a perfect set of tunes, which also opened up a new horizon for the Beamon priests, who are good at using auxiliary instruments.
At the end of the song, the applause immediately poured in.
Master Puskas the magician of St. Chio drew an arc in the air, and a ball surrounded by a light blue air barrier appeared, and there was a weak flame in the balloon, and with the vibration of applause, this flame gradually grew, and with the wave of the master's fingers, the balloon wrapped in flames flew to the wall of the box, as if it had been sealed.
This magic fusion control ability that was surrounded by hand and fire condensed the countless surprised and adoring eyes around him.
"It's a very simple little magic, hehe, just need the applause to shake the air, this little flame of mine will be sensitive, when the time comes, whoever has the big flame is the one with the highest applause, and then let's enjoy the art of the Beamon Kingdom together?" Master Puskash laughed: "Lord Richard, who are you playing in?" I'm going to put him on stage. β
Liu Zhenzhen looked around, and everyone looked at him blankly.
"You won't let me take the lead, will you?" Liu Zhenzhen smiled.
Seeing that everyone's faces were a little eager to try, Liu Zhenzhen directly called names, "Pan Shuai, you and your brothers go up to show their hands, they have a symphony orchestra, and our people will also go up a little more." β
Pan Shuai nodded, turned his head to the panda warriors, and all the pandas immediately pulled the prismatic spears off their backs, put all the silver pedestal armor on the ground, and took out a black leather trench coat with silver chains hanging from the space ring and changed it, with only three buttons tied below, plus a black top hat for each person.
The black and white panda warrior with an all-black outfit is black to the end.
"Ready!" Pan Shuai wiped his dark circles under his eyes and nodded to the Saint Qiao Magician in a chic manner.
Rao is a saint-chio-level magician, and Master Puskas wrapped twenty panda warriors from the box on the second floor with "balloon drift" to send them to the stage, and he couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat on his head, turned his head and said to Liu Zhenzhen, "Lord Richard, your subordinates are not light!" β
"I completely agree with you, respected master." Liu Zhenzhen smiled and held a huge cigar in his mouth, "My samurai are both civil and military, and in the territory, we often hold drinking parties and singing and dancing parties, I believe that their performances will make anyone unforgettable." β
The human nobles, including the cardinal, all looked at Liu Zhenzhen with the eyes of an idiot, and twenty warriors danced on the stage? Still both civil and military? Isn't it the Circus' Hercules Folding Iron Rod?
"Next, we Panta warriors will perform a song "I Have to Love" for everyone, and my name is Pan Shuai. Pan Shuai put on a cold pose with his hands on the brim of his hat in the center of the stage with a loud sound circle, and these panda warriors were neatly arranged behind Goode, presenting a V-shaped attack line, each panda warrior's chest was unbuttoned, and they all showed their discus-like chests, making unruly shapes, and their angular muscles were particularly dazzling under the illumination of the magic slide lantern, triggering a burst of women's screams.
Their strength is truly impressive, and their muscles are perfectly and well-proportioned after rigorous training, as well as sculptures, and most humans can only find words to match them in the giants Samson and Goliath described in the myths and legends of the Holy See.
The raccoon priest Le Maire had been eating the Emerald Rice for so long, and he had already mingled with these panda warriors, so he took out his hourglass rattle and accompanied these Panta warriors.
The audience at the Goethe-Theatre was treated to one of the most fashionable and modern dances ever made.
The dance of the pandas is flexible and neat, very rhythmic and dynamic, their dancing posture makes all human beings except for surprise and novelty, can no longer find other words to describe the mood, Pan Shuai's singing voice with the most popular metal sound of young people nowadays, their collective dance is uniform, the movements are clean and powerful, especially when Pan Shuai sings the classic "I have to love~", the whole body imitates the mechanical stiff dance steps of the metal puppet, the knees are completely immobile, and the whole body slides sideways, Again sparked numerous screams. As a diplomatic envoy, Pan Shuai covered up all the words that sarcastically mocked human beings in a vague tone in the process of dancing and singing, and he still had this little brain.
It's so handsome! This metal puppet's pose is adapted into a dance, and when it is expressed flexibly and smoothly, it is so pleasing to the eye and full of youthful vitality.
Even the musicians of the Royal San Antonio Theatre Company were dumbfounded, and they thought that Pan Shuai's dance moves must have been inspired by gecko walks.
"It's so dynamic! I've never heard of the form of dancing and singing at the same time, what kind of dance is it? The Wizard of San Chio looked at it with relish, and asked as he watched.
"I have a Wolf nobleman under my command, and this dance was designed by him, accompanied by singing, and our Fei Leng Cui Pipe is called singing and dancing." Liu Zhenzhen raised his eyebrows and answered the master's question very politely.
"Wolfe? The wolf clan in Beamon is brave and good at fighting, is it still a master of dance? Master Puskas was a little puzzled.
"Can't you be able to dance if you are brave and good at fighting? Every Wolf nobleman is the best dancer, haven't you humans heard the phrase "Dancing with Wolves"? "Liu Zhenzhen is a little strange.
"Dances with wolves? Oh......" The people around him suddenly realized.
Idiot! The three major dance giants of Beamon, Butterfly, Wolf, and Swan, are all under my command, and they are singing and dancing with me, what is it that is not looking for death? Lao Liu and the two fairy dragons laughed secretly.
The Panta warriors' performances were so well received that a young woman even presented a bouquet of flowers to the handsome and burly Pan Shuai, who was handsome in every way except for the dark circles under his sunglasses, and apart from some racial characteristics, there was not much difference between Beamon and humans.
Maestro Puskas was so fascinated that he almost forgot to make the "flaming balloon" to measure the volume of the applause, and although it was past its peak, the flames in the balloon were still a little bigger than the "Cape Nalun Carmen" played by the Royal Symphony Orchestra of San Antonio.
"Rebellious mentality! It's a rebellious mentality! "Bishop Kaka is jumping to his feet.
"It's just the first competition, why are you so worried about it? Dear Bishop? Liu Zhenzhen touched Guoguo's head and sneered.
"Silly b~" The parrot stood on Lao Liu's shoulder and scolded pretendiously.
"God~" The little nun was desperately crossing on the side, she was completely frightened by this parrot.
In the second competition, the Royal Troupe of San Antonio also put away their arrogance, and the conclusions drawn from the first competition made them no longer dare to underestimate these Beamon, so they sent one of the best elven dancers, this elven dancer who was trained since childhood is also one of the pillars of the Royal Troupe of San Antonio, proficient in the dances of the two major schools of Classicism and Romanticism in the Renaissance of the human Renaissance, this time she performed a modified "flamenco" dance, focusing on rhythm and unrestrained, The fiery red dance robe spun on the stage, and a cluster of bright flame spirits jumped, and their delicate appearance made people's hearts move.
This time the applause was overwhelming, and no one would be stingy with their praise for a beautiful elven beauty.
It's a pity that this time Beamon has the upper hand again, Godani's appearance immediately overshadowed the beautiful elf dancer, and the rainstorm-like applause also came to an abrupt end, and Godani, who changed into a dance costume in the space ring, opened the white wings behind her and fell from the air, slender and ** figure, and the holy face of the country and the city, even the beauty of the elves could not be matched.
"Ballet! O God! This is a ballet that only a Smai swan aristocratic woman can learn! "There are a few old nobles with a long family history who finally have some knowledge.
"Ballet indeed!" Liu stared at the boneless Gotani on stage performing the Smai Clan's trick "Swan Lake", his eyes glowing with the green light of the Hittish, like a beast awakened from hibernation.
A little hand tugged at his clothes, and Lao Liu looked back to see that the little nun's clear eyes were watching him.
"Blaspheming beauty is only the devil's **, I see this expression in your eyes, you have to learn to restrain yourself." The little nun used a calm tone to dispel Liu Zhenzhen's imminent desire.
Liu Zhenzhen no longer had the strength to scold, he felt that being looked at by this little nun was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head.
Godani's face is holy and her dancing posture is solemn, and in such a situation, only a miscellaneous person like Lao Liu can have similar thoughts.
Many human viewers have already clapped their hands red but don't realize it, for beauty, any race has the same ability to appreciate it, and the applause is higher and higher, almost overturning the ceiling.
The Bishop's face became more and more ugly.
Liu Zhenzhen looked at him and laughed wildly, and Guoguo stuck out his tongue at the cardinal and made a big grimace.
Next, San Antonio's soprano Fan. Beaten finally couldn't help but play, his singing is known as "magic sound through the brain", the treble can continue to rise for three stages, it is said that his singing can shake the wine in a glass glass at close range into waves, and with the assistance of the amplification magic array, his treble can even be heard clearly in every corner of Valencia City.
Classic singers, classic sleepless tunes, once again defeated.
Who made Liu Zhenzhen send Tony, Tony is the siren who surrendered, and the siren's singing can only be described by nature, whether it is high or low, humans and sirens are not on the same level, Tony's high pitch soars, can shatter a glass wine glass.
Next Mo'er's butterfly dance, the Antonio Royal Troupe is already embarrassed to send people to the stage, the difference in strength and disparity is too great, it doesn't matter if the tomato and potato are compared to the size, if it is compared with a pumpkin, it is too shameful.
The vicissitudes of life of the musk man Adu "hair like snow" made the entire opera house completely boiling, and the human audience could not understand a hoarse voice but could express such a vicissitudes of life, and all the human audience all got up and expressed their respect to the Beamon envoys with the most surging applause.
The Tornado Mercenary Regiment's fiasco was not a war between the Duchy of Dorot and the Kingdom of Bimon, so the civilians of Dorot were still able to show their friendliness to the Bimon Legates, especially in such an intoxicating atmosphere of high art.
"Great! I've never seen such a great show! "Master Puskas the magician of St. Chio was so excited that he was a little crazy.
"Adu is actually not suitable for singing "Hair Like Snow", I have already made a song in my head "She must love you very much", ready to give it to him. Liu Zhen laughed.
"What are you waiting for, let the cardinal come over, I am willing to lose the bet, please eat our fruit again." Daisy pointed to the flame balloon attached to the wall that belonged to Beamon's side and said, the difference between the flames in the balloons on both sides was really huge.
"I have reservations about not being able to play." O'Neill muttered.
"I protest! The sirens are not Beamon! Why can it be counted in your Beamon performance! Bishop Kaka said angrily: "I didn't lose at all! β
"The Elven Dancer doesn't seem to be from your human race, right?" Nana sneered.
"Do you want to regret it?" Liu Zhenzhen smiled contemptuously.
"It's not fair, you have satisfied the curiosity of our human civilians, this shouldn't be a completely fair game!" Bishop Kaka shrank behind the paladins, still pouting.
"That's a piece of!" Liu Zhen kicked over the table with a "boom", and showed the courier firecracker, and the paladins also collectively drew their weapons, and the centaur archer Nedved wound his six fingers and pulled the bow open in a full circle, and the battle was about to break out.
The mercenaries of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment and the two leaders of the Sherpa family turned terrified.
"I came with an olive branch and a coulee firebolt, please don't let the olive branch slip quietly from my hands." Liu Zhenzhen narrowed his eyes, the sparks on the cigar in his mouth drifted away little by little, and there was an irreversible toughness in his tone.
"What a megalomaniacal Beamon!" Dragon Knight Garcia's fighting spirit instantly skyrocketed, and he sneered.
"Shut up." Master Puskas the Magician of St. Chio glared at Bishop Kaka: "Lord Bishop! Do you have to repent of your words before God? I don't want to be alone for you, to see this inexplicable fire and! β
"Master, you seem to be favoring these Beamons!" Bishop Kaka's tone was both aggrieved and resentful.
"! I am biased against the truth! Master Puskas wiped the snot from his sloppy nose and scolded sternly.
"Lord Richard, you have to be careful in everything......" Prince Chamberlain also interjected in a weird way.
"I remember your words." Liu Zhenzhen laughed wildly and hooked his finger at Bishop Kaka.
Seeing that there was no one to help him speak, Bishop Kaka stomped his feet hatefully, with a look of dazedness, and walked out slowly, Guoguo rushed over, and before he could see what it wanted to do, he saw it jump up and another cannon, the cardinal archbishop's chin was hit hard, and his whole body flew out upside down, falling from the second floor to the seat below, a paladin was sharp-eyed and quick, and he fished it over, just catching the bishop's clothes, but the power of Guoguo's punch was really not small, The bishop was wearing precious oriental silk, and he heard a loud crack of silk, and the cardinal, who was sleek, fell on the heads of the audience downstairs with a "bang" from the upper floor.
There was an uproar.
It may be that they didn't expect a Frost Snow Pychu Beast to have such a powerful and high-end power, so people looked at the fat-headed, big-eared and proud Guoguo in disbelief.
"The fight is over, and the fight is below!" Liu Zhenzhen looked at the paladins who were completely burned with anger: "If you can't get used to us, just challenge." β
One by one, the gloves were thrown at their targets, and one of the twenty muskmen was lost, and all of them were selected by the gloves, including the thinner looking centaur archer Nedved, and the rest of the militia were not selected.
"Hehe...... Liu Zhenzhen smiled: "In the end, it is a paladin, and sure enough, one is more knowledgeable than the other." β
