Gaul Nalo, Port Maruri, Yega Theatre.

After leaving the White Tide, the carriage did not take the orchestra to the hotel where it was resting, but went straight to the Yega Theater.

There weren't many people in the theater at the moment, and there were no lights in the empty hall, so everything looked a little dim and gloomy.

Captain Rennet walked ahead excitedly, and the other members of the orchestra couldn't help but look around excitedly, and the whispers of the crowd echoed in this lonely world.

Probably influenced by the Evangelical Church, the decoration and sculptures in the theater are religious, with angels hovering above the dome and marble pillars supporting the kingdom of heaven carved by stonemasons.

The same marble floor was polished, and Lorenzo began to faintly look forward to the moment when these lights came on, and it felt like walking on the light.

"The Yega Theater, which was once a church, was a front-line church during the glorious war, where soldiers would pray and then board the ships of war under the watchful eyes of the priests. ”

The voice sounded around him, and at some point Renette had already walked over and explained to Lorenzo about the past of the Grand Theater.

After the defeat of Gaulinaro, it was abandoned for a time, but it was not long before it was reopened and expanded to its present form. ”

Lennette's expression became mysterious, and he whispered to Lorenzo.

"Actually, it was reactivated because of the 'war'. ”

Lorenzo was drawn to Rennet's words and asked.

"What war?"

"The war of art. ”

Lennette smiled.

Of course, it can also be understood as a war of luxury. ”

"As early as hundreds of years ago, these kingdom magnates fought non-stop, but no one could stand the war every day, so they sought a sense of victory in some other places, such as handicrafts, whoever has more gems has the same face, and finally this thing also extends to art. ”

It seems that Lennette had studied these things in depth before he came, he continued.

"The main leader is the great Lorenzo...... Of course, it's not you, it's Lorenzo Medici, who, during his time in control of the Evangelical Church, financed the artists heavily, and this spread to the region, and finally to Gaul-Nalo, where a family did not sponsor a few artists, and there was no face when they went out.

After the defeat, some people in Gaul Nalone put their minds on this, there was no way, they had already lost the frontal battlefield, they could only find pleasure in this kind of place, they transformed this place into today's Yega Theater, with the help of the ships of the port of Maruli, those poems and operas were sung, although the war was lost, but in the spread of culture, there was a new progress. ”

Reaching out and brushing the silent stone pillars, the touch was cold, as if stroking steel.

"The Yega Theatre was the Victoria Royal Theatre in Invig, and in the post-war period, there was a fight to the death in the arts. ”

Renette shook his head, then said helplessly.

But as time went by, the wounds of the war gradually healed, and people didn't need these things to heal their hearts, and gradually these things were not taken seriously, and the war on art probably ended for a short time. ”

"Sounds like a lot of fun. Lorenzo said.

"Hey, it's just a bunch of people hanging out. ”

"It's a bit naïve to say, but that's pretty much it, when the music begins, it's the beginning of our artists' war. ”

Renette rubbed his hands together as he spoke, a slight sinister smile on his face.

"I just didn't expect that after so many years, I, the conductor of Invig, would actually perform in the Grand Theatre of Gaulinalo. ”

"After many years, we finally captured the enemy's capital, which is gratifying. Lorenzo congratulated Renette.

"Thanks to you, Mr. Holmos, and for your generosity, you are simply Lorenzo Medici!"

The two smiled weirdly, and the business complimented each other.

Despite all these nonsense, Lennette took the performance very seriously, and before he could get off the ship, he handed over his luggage to someone else and transported it back to the hotel, while he brought the orchestra here for rehearsals.

"We don't have much time left, and the show will start here in a few days. ”

Lennette stood on the stage, saying as he sorted out the score.

Lorenzo and the others sat in the audience and watched it all.

"What's the plan? ”

The spotlight was on the stage, the audience was pitch black, and in the darkness, Lorenzo asked the others.

"Or ...... Follow my thoughts. ”

Lorenzo looked around him, where Haybold and Irene sat left and right, and Eve and Kestrel on the periphery, two of them held hostage like criminals.

As for Hercule, he really thought of himself as a tourist, grabbed a staff member and let him take him around.

Lorenzo didn't care about his whereabouts, after all, he was the breeder of the Rat King, and Hercule wouldn't let him down.

"I think you've got an idea, Lorenzo. Haybold said.

"What about you?"

Lorenzo didn't reply, but looked at Erin on the side.

Erin spread her hands.

"You can do what you want, my life is in your hands now, it's all up to you. ”

Both men left the decision to Lorenzo, who squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was also at this time that the melody gradually rose, and on the stage, Rennet conducted the orchestra to play, and the passionate melody was graceful and melodious.

Lorenzo reached out and took out the leaflet he had grabbed from his bosom, it was crumpled and unfolded little by little.

This is an Orthodox leaflet, which not only shows the time and place of the assembly, but also indicates a major event in bold on the last line.

It was the enthronement of the Pope.

But there was no specific time or place yet, so Lorenzo handed the flyer to Haybold and asked.

"Do you know when the Pope will come to the throne?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely in the near future. Haybold replied.

"That's not really easy. ”

Lorenzo muttered to himself.

The operation was divided into two steps, one was to rescue Ivar and the other was to assassinate the Pope, both of which had to be done at the same time, and if one of them alarmed the enemy first, the other was bound to fail.

"Haybod, just as you said before. ”

"Hypothetical peace talks?" Mr. Haybod said.

"That's right, when their Pope ascends the throne, we will make peace when we talk. Lorenzo said.

Fortunately, this problem is not difficult to solve, and it is rare that this time the initiative is in Lorenzo's hands.

"And then what are you going to do?" asked Erin.

"That's what you don't have to worry about, just let me command when the time comes, but ......"

Lorenzo said and looked at Erin, as if to think about where Erin should be useful.

It occurred to him that he had a sudden thought.

"Erin, you're supposed to be very good at acting, right, this thing is like fraud, you can just make the enemy believe you. ”

"What do you want to do?" Irene listened to Lorenzo's words, feeling a little uneasy for a moment.

Lorenzo didn't say anything, just smiled.

"You'll know when the time comes. ”

It was a plan that only he knew, and no one could guess until it was actually carried out.

Lorenzo is also not afraid of Erin and Hybode's careful thoughts, in the end, their ideas will not affect reality at all, because Lorenzo is here, and he himself is his biggest reliance.

In the face of absolute force, all intrigues and intrigues seem so fragile.

"I just felt like a terrorist. ”

Lorenzo said softly.

"You are my accomplices. ”

He relaxed, listened carefully to Lennette's performance, and in the near future, there would be a brutal bloodbath here, Lorenzo didn't know if it would affect the direction of the world, but in short, he was excited.

The end of the song.

Renette turned and bowed towards the dark auditorium.

"Alright, let's go, we're going to set up the game first. ”

Lorenzo stood up from his seat.

"How? We don't even know where he's going to ascend the throne. Haybold asked.

"It's easy to guess, Haybed. ”

Lorenzo said, looking at the stage.

"There are no large churches in the port of Marury, the only one that has been expanded into the theater it is today, and the few that are more upside down are still controlled by the Evangelical Church, and if the Orthodox Church wants to expand its influence, they will inevitably find a place that can accommodate many people and allow more people to witness all this.

What do you think of that square outside the Yega Theater?"

Lorenzo looked back at what he had seen on the way, Maruri was a seaport city, the center of gravity of the city was mainly the port, and part of the purpose of the Orthodox pope's enthronement here was to expand his influence through the ships that sailed.

If Lorenzo were the Pope of the Orthodox Church, the Theater Square would be his only option, where his speeches would not be hindered by the dome, and if his voice was loud enough, even passers-by who did not pay attention would hear him.

"Of course, it's okay to guess wrong, I've got to step on how to get out, right? ”

Lorenzo continued.

"You have also seen that those warships docked in the harbor, although they say that all the weapons have been unloaded, and their own technology is also behind the times, but can their words really be trusted? Just like the hellish furnace pillar of the old Dunling, they say that it is energy supply, but as long as those neurotics adjust a few parameters, they can sink the old Dunling into a dense fog several meters high. ”

Obviously, Lorenzo had suffered a loss on this issue, and he had naively thought that the advanced designs of the old Dunling were for the convenience of the citizens, but in fact they were military installations one after another, turning the old Dunling city into a fortress of steel.

Whether it's the Pillars of the Forge or the Serpent of the Atrium, these things were originally made for war.

"There are also some problems of Gallo Nalo himself. ”

Lorenzo frowned.

In Old Dunling, rails can be found everywhere, and you can easily get anywhere in Old Dunling in the Iron Serpent whenever you need to, but here in Gaulinaro, their steam technology is not so advanced, and even if they barely catch up with Invig, their infrastructure has not expanded, and they operate in the port of Maruli, basically by horse-drawn carriages.

This is a different environment from Lorenzo's familiar work environment, where in the past he killed a man and escaped with an iron serpent, but this time he might need to gallop his horse.

No, it should be that the group of them is going to gallop wildly.

"There will be a camouflaged fishing boat arriving in port tomorrow, they have been following the White Tide, they are in charge of our evacuation, and according to him, the ship is equipped with the new braking power system of the perpetual motion pump, and it can be trusted in terms of speed. Haybold said.

"That's even more unreliable!"

Lorenzo's expressions were almost twisted when he heard this.

"What's wrong?"

Hybold did not understand, as far as he knew, that perpetual motion pump represented the highest level of science and technology in the Western world at present, and every step they took was the progress of all mankind, and this great institution should be written into the legend in Hayboy's opinion.

"Look, obviously, you don't know those guys. ”

Lorenzo said as he looked at the kestrel beside Hybod.

"Translate it for him. ”

Kestrel had the same ugly expression, and he swallowed.

"The new work of the Perpetual Pump can basically be understood as experimental, and don't you think this escape is the best place to test this kind of thing?"

"In the face of the desire to survive, Lorenzo will definitely make perfect use of everything it has to offer. ”

Lorenzo mimicked Merlin's tone.

Several fell silent.

"No, this operation is so important, how can they do that?" Haybold clearly did not understand the brain circuits of this group of neurotics.

"It's because it's important that they're going to take this thing out, like the original sin armor," said Kestrels, "and work beyond the norm requires equipment beyond the norm, and in a sense, it's the best equipment the Perpetual Motion Pump can come up with, though not very reliable." ”

"Even if there is a clipper to pick up the boat, it will take some distance to escape from the theater square to the port, and it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy at that time, we need to flee quickly, and we must not stop for half a minute, and if we take a wrong detour, we may be intercepted. ”

Lorenzo said worriedly.

"I'm not worried about interception, as long as I'm not dead, I don't think anything can stop us, but the problem is that it's not Invig, there's no purge mechanism to finish it off for us.

We are here to stop a potential war, but if we are not careful, we may become the fuse of war. ”

Lorenzo stepped out of the audience and motioned to everyone.

"Let's go, it's a tour, don't you want to enjoy the beauty of Maruli?"

Silent.

"Well, I don't want to, I hate this place. ”

Lorenzo scolded and left.
