In Cecil, which is constantly changing, there are always many new things being born.

A qualified Imperial Archon and District Administrator will certainly be interested in these new things.

After a moment of silence, Victoria looked at the Count of Bahrain: "Perhaps, we can go and have a look." ”

"You mean the new kind of theater?" The Earl of Barin was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Duke Bingxue, who had always been cold and detached and said to be not interested in "drama", would make this suggestion, but soon realized that the other party might be interested in the "magic technology" behind the new drama, so he quickly nodded, "Of course, I mean, this is very worth seeing - magic technology can be applied to all aspects, and I am also curious about what it can have to do with drama." ”

"Inquire where it is," Victoria said lightly, expressionless, "and let's go." ”

It didn't take much effort to find out where the new drama would be performed, and Victoria and his party soon followed the guidance of passers-by to a large building in the southern part of the city.

It was an unremarkable building, very different from the Count of Bahrain's impression of a "theater" - for the theater had always been the preserve of the aristocracy and wealthy burghers, and it should have been magnificent, but what he saw was a square, two-story building, which was not beautiful in every way except for its size.

And around this large, seemingly modest looking building, a large number of people have gathered.

At a glance, you can see that they are basically ordinary civilians.

Dressed in all kinds of winter clothes, these people who looked quite expectant had obviously been waiting here for a long time, and the people on the periphery craned their necks to look at the entrance of the "theater", and in the area near the inner floor, you can also see uniformed security personnel maintaining order, some people talking and laughing loudly in the crowd, and even some vendors have spotted business opportunities, pushing carts around the square and selling snacks and drinks.

Such a lively scene startled the Count of Bahrain - he remembered that there would not be so many people at the entrance of the theater, and the people who watched the theater were all well-dressed, with butlers, and gentlemen and ladies who came in horse-drawn carriages, and were received by attendants.

"So many people...... Are you here to see the new drama? The Earl's eyes widened as he came from the royal capital, "All citizens...... Is Cecil so rich? Can everyone afford to get into the theater? ”

"My lord, it is said that ...... A ticket costs only a few copper plates, and in Singapore dollars, it costs only six eltz," said one of the attendants who had gone to inquire about the news with a slightly incredulous expression, "and because today is the first time a new type of drama has been released, the ticket price is half ...... off"

"Three El!" The Earl of Bahrain's eyes were about to pop out, "What's the difference between this and Bai Qi!" ”

Then he suddenly turned his head to look at the square, looking at the dense crowd, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "O gods and ancestors! No wonder there are so many people, even if they are not interested in theater, these citizens will probably not skimp on those few coins in order to satisfy their curiosity...... But with so many people pouring into the theater, how else can the actors on stage perform? How can order be maintained? ”

"I'm afraid it's going to get very chaotic, my lord," said another royal nobleman who was with him, shaking his head, "and...... You see, it's messy enough here now. ”

As soon as the nobleman of the royal capital finished speaking, the ears of the Count of Bahrain heard the shouts of the cart vendors around the square—a loud and penetrating voice that went straight to the head of the Earl:

"Fragrant fried potatoes! Cecil's best french fries! ”

"Let's have a fish roll! Comes with a hot sauce! ”

"Queue up in winter for a bottle of Cold Resistance Elixir - the best Frost Resistance Potion! Sam's dad hand-concocted, 52 degrees sauce flavor!! ”

"My head hurts," the Count of Baring couldn't help but clutch his head, "it's not what I thought......

"There's even a concoction of the Frost Resistance Potion," one of the accompanying officials looked into the distance curiously, "and it's sold in the square?" ”

"Resistance potions are extremely inexpensive in the South, and the diluent of the Frost Resistance Potion is sold as some kind of health supplement," Victoria said lightly, apparently knowing a little about it, "The locals of the South and the merchants who took the North-South Trade Route would add some spices or honey to these diluents as a drink to protect them from the cold. ”

The Earl of Bahrain's eyes widened, and he almost blurted out, "This is really a crazy place", but fortunately, he still remembered that this was the imperial capital, and after swallowing this sentence back, he said with a slightly strange face: "That...... Your Highness, you still want to see ......."

"Of course, I'm getting more and more interested in it now," Victoria glanced faintly at the Count of Bahrain, "and besides, don't use titles and titles here, they don't fit the atmosphere." ”

"Yes, yes, Temple...... Madam," the Count of Baring hurriedly agreed, and then looked helplessly at the squire, "then...... Go buy your tickets. ”

The squire was ordered to leave, but soon returned, bringing with him news that the Count of Barrain had not yet anticipated.

"Sold out?" Mr. Earl was dumbfounded, "Not a single one left?!" ”

"Yes, sir," said the attendant, with a look of shame on his face, "it is said that it was sold out two hours ago. ”

It's a city where new things are popping up almost every day, and the people of Cecil are brave and willing to try new things, not to mention the fact that there is now a new type of drama that only costs three ells to watch – and it's open to all. As the Count of Bahrain himself said just now, for ordinary people who have never had the opportunity to enter the theater, even if it is just to satisfy their curiosity, this change is worth it, and Cecil ...... Curiosity has always been strong.

Even if the play is boring, it is not wrong to visit the tables, chairs and rooftops of the theater - many people even come with this mentality.

Mr. Earl from the royal capital couldn't help but turn his gaze to the duchess who proposed to come here, he thought that the other party would definitely lose interest in this matter this time, and even be a little annoyed by wasting time, after all, this lady's external image has always been "patient" and "gentle", but Victoria's next words were much more than he expected-

"Go around and ask around and see if anyone is willing to give up the tickets," the duchess said lightly, and gave a meticulous order with surprising patience, "be good at the attitude, you can pay extra money, but if the other party does not agree, you must not force it." ”

Her tone was flat, and her expression was as cold as ever, but if there was someone familiar nearby, it could be seen at a glance that this was already a sign of her high spirits.

One of the attendants nodded, and prepared to leave.

But just then, a footstep that was clearly coming this way caught the attention of the Earl of Bahrain and Victoria, among others.

As high-level transcendents, they can easily perceive this undisguised approach towards them in the crowd.

The Earl of Baring looked up and followed his instincts, only to see a strange man in a cotton coat walking towards him.

The Duchess Victoria stopped the entourage with an unobtrusive gesture, looked at the approaching man, and asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The ordinary-looking man seemed to be stunned for a moment by Victoria Wild's special momentum and outstanding appearance, and for a moment he was a little nervous and afraid, but he quickly spoke: "I just saw that you seem to be a little troubled...... Is it because of the tickets? ”

The Earl of Bahrain nodded: "We do want to buy tickets, but the tickets seem to be sold out." ”

"Ah, that's right," the man in the cotton coat suddenly smiled, nodded sincerely, "I can just help you - I asked a few friends to come to watch the play together, and bought tickets in advance, but today they said they couldn't come, I just have more here, you or?" Each ticket costs only one fenal. I know it's more expensive than the original price, but I've been in line for a long time before......"

The Earl of Bahrain opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he heard Victoria already speak: "Yes." ”

Then the Duke of Ice turned to look at him: "Mr. Balin, pay the money." ”

"But ......" the Earl of Baring squeezed out half a word from his mouth, but under the gaze of those ice crystal-like cold eyes, he still took out the money to pay the bill like an ordinary citizen, in exchange for a few beautifully printed tickets with the words "Film Film Company" and "Threesome Theater" on the surface.

After the man left, the Earl of Baring couldn't help but whisper, "Victoria...... Ma'am, you shouldn't trust that man, he's obviously just reselling ......"

"I know." Victoria said calmly.

"That ......"

"It's just funny," Victoria said casually, and looked up at the entrance of the theater not far away, "this place is indeed more than the royal capital...... Interesting.

"However, it is indeed an act of disorder, and we cannot ignore it.

"I just saw a sheriff at the edge of the square, which of you should report it."

Victoria Wild's tone rose slightly, and she seemed to be in a mood that had suddenly become cheerful.

After a while, the crowd in front of them finally stirred faintly.

Victoria, who was in a good mood, curled up a little at the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Bahrain, it looks like you can already enter, let's go and witness it." ”

……

With the flow of people and the guidance of the staff, the Count of Baring finally walked into this "theater" that he thought was rather eccentric, and found his place among the rows of high and low seats.

Along the way, out of the duty of a gentleman and the instinct of being a subordinate, he tried to protect the Duchess Victoria as much as possible, so as not to crash into the flow of people around him, the archon of the empire and the protector of the northern mountains, for which he himself was even pushed several times, but after taking down the seat, he still found that it was impossible for him to fully maintain this "dignity" and "protection".

The seats were one after the other, and there were people everywhere.

More people poured here than in any theater he had ever seen in the royal capital! The seats are also much denser!

Countless commoners—or citizens of the Empire—surrounded him, and even the nobleman from the royal capital felt a little suffocated.

He's so uncomfortable here.

Victoria Wilder, however, showed no discomfort or boredom, and the protector of the northern mountains sat quietly in his position, his gaze casually swept around him—despite the lack of expression on his face, the Earl of Bahrain could roughly guess that it was a sign of interest and curiosity.

On the road of "adapting to the new order", he seems to be far from catching up with the duchess.

"This kind of facility, the problem of fire and crowding and stampede should be considered in advance," Victoria said suddenly, "what do you say, Mr. Balin?" ”

"Me? Ah, yes, yes, of course," replied the Count of Baring, who almost did not react, "there are a lot of people here, and there are many densely packed seats, and these are indeed something to consider...... I don't know if everyone here has a plan. ”

Another royal nobleman looked at the stage curiously: "There are no actors on the stage, and there are no sets and props...... Isn't it set up yet? ”

Hearing this, the Earl of Bahrain subconsciously looked up, and sure enough, he also found this strange problem.

At the end of the roughly fan-shaped arrangement of a large number of seats, on the open platform that was supposed to be the stage, there was not a single actor in sight, nor was there any set in sight.

He struggled to keep his eyes open, and finally saw only a few magic net pedestals placed on the platform, and crystal devices assembled in some kind of array.

The Count of Baring slowly figured it out, but became even more confused: So...... This so-called new drama turned out to be the projection of the magic web terminal?

……

Outside the "Threesome" theater, due to the large number of people entering, the originally crowded square suddenly seemed much quieter.

Some of the people who remained in the square were vendors, some were citizens passing by out of curiosity, and some were security guards.

A man in a dark cotton coat hurried past the edge of the square, with a happy look on his face and a hat pressed low.

But as soon as he reached the entrance of a nearby alley, before he could turn in, several uniformed vigilantes suddenly appeared around him.

The man in the overcoat was taken aback and turned to run, but before he could take a step, a vigilante raised his hand and struck him to the ground with a small lightning bolt.

Several vigilantes swarmed up and pinned the man who was twitching and screaming to the ground, and the sheriff in charge of leading the team pulled out small shackles and shouted angrily: "It's you again!" It's you again!

"You were there when the Magic Train first started selling tickets, when it sold spectator tickets for the first football game, and when the first zoo opened!

"Today, the Shadow Drama started selling tickets, and sure enough, there are still you!

"You've been on the water pipe of the Public Security Bureau for the second half of the month!"

In Cecil, which is constantly evolving, there are always many new things being born......
