The melodious sound of the music sounded like the waves of the endless sound.

When Pallas reached open the door of her destination, the Abandoned Opera House, the sound reached her ears.

Then she noticed two things.

The first is a stage opera being staged on the stage of the opera house, accompanied by melodious music, and the people on the stage are dancing and swaying their blood.

In the second, there was only one teenager sitting silently on the rows of seats that seemed to be arranged like a cascade.

The boy had short fiery red hair and wore a top hat depicted with a flame pattern on his head.

As for the outfit on the body, it was a red suit, and although there was no tie, it was tied with something that looked like a silk scarf in a shape similar to a bow.

In addition, on the blazer, hundreds of red bells are hung.

Fabuti Laufe Loki!

The Norse mythological system of 'Loki, the god of fire', symbolizes fire, cunning, and mischief.

He is also the leader of the mercenary organization 'Mischievous Fire'.

Just as Pallas subconsciously recalled the identity of the other party, the other party had tilted his head slightly and spoke first: "Yo, isn't this Miss Pallas Athena?" I didn't expect my opponent to be you. It's a pity, if I could, I would like to fight against that supermaster named Ye Feiye. ”

"Less deception."

The blue eyeballs that symbolized the eyes of wisdom flashed, and Pallas said coldly, "You arranged this qiē in advance, right?" Don't look like you're surprised to see me. ”

"Wow, that's scary."

Fabuti pretended to shrug his shoulders, but said: "It seems that I am a class with an axe, and I am playing wisdom in front of you, a symbol of wisdom." ”

"......" Pallas did not make a sound, but only looked at the other party with a flat gaze.

In addition to the melodious music of the stage play, a terrible silence began to permeate the two who remained silent.

It went on like this for a while.

As if he was not used to this atmosphere, Fabuti finally raised his hand as if he had surrendered and said, "Yes, yes, I have surrendered." It is really worthy of being a symbol of wisdom, and this time it poked at my death hole. Knowing that I am a symbolic prankster, the last thing I am used to is calm. ”

"It's your own words, I didn't say anything." Pallas replied with a cold voice.

"Isn't it the scariest thing to say nothing?"

Fabuti waved his hand as if he was weak: "Really, although you and I have met and fought a lot, to be honest, I still know you as a stranger. Therefore, in order to alleviate this embarrassment, I have put a lot of effort into it, and you should be considerate of me. ”

"......" Pallas's eyes flashed, and he remained silent.

Fabuti looked at it, the powerlessness on his face even worse, and then, as if to put it aside, he tried to change the subject.

"Miss Pallas Athena, do you like opera? I like it very much. No, no, it's not so much that I like it, but that this thing caters to my situation. After all, I am the person who inherited the name of the fire god Loki, and if I go out often in such an capacity, it will cause a strict situation. But I'm an active person, and it's more severe to ask me to stay in one place like this than to kill me. Therefore, this kind of comprehensive art that combines music, drama, literature, dance, and stage art is the best thing for me, who is patient and calm. ”

"So what?" Pallas interrupted the long remarks in a cold voice.

This made Fabuti, who was listening, almost fall to the ground, and he couldn't help but say: "So, I'm trying to ease the embarrassment between us, why don't you cooperate with me?" In other words, although opera first appeared in Florence, Italy, its essence is indeed derived from the theater music of the Duchy of Silla. You are both a native of Sirla and a god of Greek mythology, and I thought that such a topic would be a good topic for you and me to talk about. ”

"Indeed, opera originated in the principality of Shirla."

As if he felt that it was a bit rude to refuse the other party coldly like this, Pallas couldn't help but say: "But after it was introduced to Italy, it became popular for a long time with Italian opera, until the birth of 'innovative opera'. Immediately after the Middle Ages, bel canto opera reached its peak, followed by the golden age of the Middle Ages. ”

Fabuti interjected at this point: "Yes, yes, my favorite operas of that golden age are those of 'Richard Wagner' and 'Giuseppe Verdi'. During that period, there were many outstanding opera artists who innovated the form of opera, such as realism and contemporary praise opera, and there were also many expressions of the national music school. As for the music, there are also innovations in the incoherent approach and the twelve-tone composition. Looking at the works of that era, it is as if you can feel the atmosphere and splendor of that era. ”

"It doesn't matter what happens like that, does it?"

Pallas seemed to pour cold water on a critical juncture: "Moreover, the operas of the Middle Ages, which were mostly infiltrated into religious stories, mainly glorified the miracles of the Messiah, were not beneficial to us, the bearers of the mythological system, at all." ”

"Good...... All right. ”

As if he had told a joke and no one in the audience laughed, Fabuti couldn't help but pull out a far-fetched smile as he pointed to the stage of the abandoned opera house.

"Since you've studied opera, do you know what kind of opera is going on stage?"

"How could I not know such a famous opera? It's "Faust", one of the top ten operas in the world, but anyone who loves opera will know it. ”

"Top 10 operas in the world: The Marriage of Figaro", "Aida", "La Traviata", "Rigoletto", "Faust", "Carmen", "Madama Butterfly", "The Magic Flute", "Othello" and "The Life of an Artist". I love Faust alone. ”

"You're such a strange person."

Pallas looked at Fabouti, who was intoxicated, and said: "The opera 'Faust' tells the story of Faust's lifelong quest for a pact with the devil. Not to mention that it is full of strong religious flavor, let's just say that the story of the pursuit of art and classical beauty in the middle is also related to Greek mythology. How do you look at this, you, the inheritor of the Norse mythological system, shouldn't be so persistently loved, right? ”

"Miss Pallas Athena, you don't understand that. It's a man's romance, don't you think? ”

Fabhuti shook his head lightly and said, "Consider the last words of Faust: I am willing to devote myself to this interest, which is undoubtedly the final judgment of wisdom. It is necessary to open up life and freedom every day, and then we can enjoy freedom and life. Therefore, there must be dangers around here, so that the young and the strong can live a prosperous life. I would like to see such a bustling crowd of people living in a free land. I'm willing to shout in a moment like this, 'You're so beautiful, please stop!'" ’。 There will be traces of my days on earth, and it will not be forever gone. I am in such a blessed premonition, in the highest moment of enjoyment! ”

"That's amazing, don't you think?" Fabuti suddenly looked in the direction of Pallas.

"Theories are all gray, but the tree of life is evergreen. It is necessary to open up life and freedom every day, and then we can enjoy freedom and life. I like this attitude to life, even though I am a bearer, there will always be a day when I die. So why not try to leave something behind and live freely? Unfettered, unmanipulated, living only for yourself. ”

"That's the wrong way to live."

Pallas looked at Fabhuti and gave these words: "To live, one must be confined to all kinds of frameworks, and no one is exempt. This is true even for the gods of the mythological system. Those who are not framed will only cause trouble to others and become criminals. Crime. or kill. Person. Violate. ”

"It's just your bias."

Fabhuti retorted: "How can you cause trouble to others if you live freely? Besides, I am fire, a symbol of mischief, and a free life is what I need. No, I should say that if I didn't live freely, the guys at the 'World Tree Spring' would be uncomfortable. ”

"That's enough, that's the topic."

Pallas suddenly took a deep breath: "I'm not here to talk to you, and I'm not interested in how you live. The matter of the three duels was proposed by your side, so what is it now? If you really don't want to fight, then please return Lagher, and then take the commission to sanitize Desya, I will be happy to accompany you as long as you want. ”

"That's right."

Fabhuti stood up suddenly, snapping his fingers as he reached out and flicked the brim of his top hat.

First the sound of the music stopped, and then the people who were performing on the stage all turned into clusters of flames, and finally they were swallowed by Fabuti from afar.

"'Mischievous fire'."

As if afraid that the other party would not understand, Fabuti analyzed: "This is not only the name of the organization I master, but also the magic method that I can use to inherit the name of the fire god Loki." Abilities are the ability to devour any flame to increase one's strength, and instantly burn creatures to ashes and turn them into fire stand-ins. In addition, I can dispose of any substance burned by this fire, and I can also hallucinate with the vapor of this fire. Before, because of boredom, I used this ability a little bit to do hallucinatory pranks in this new metropolitan development area. By the way, the dance troupe and the musicians who performed on the stage just now are also the stand-ins of the fire that condenses this fire ability. ”

"Don't underestimate people." Pallas suddenly interrupted the other party coldly.

"Huh!?" Fabuti couldn't help but glance at Pallas suspiciously.

Pallas scolded with a cold face: "You who are standing in front of me now are also a fire stand-in, right?" Where are you really here? Do you think you can win me with such a clone? ”

"Hey, Miss Pallas Athena, you're the one who looks down on people, right?"

Fabuti let out a laugh: "Yes, I am standing in front of you now, and I am indeed just a clone of fire. But ah, you think you can defeat me like this all at once, you're wrong. From the moment you entered this opera house to talk to me, you were already in my hands. Even if I can't defeat you, it's not easy for you to defeat my clone. ”
