Chapter 8 Welcome to the Lake of the Giants
Li Yan didn't have a whim, this idea arose after he rescued the soul of the black rider ghost.
He has Magic Technology in his body, and he has an advantage in transforming machinery.
Whether it is the bizarre Thousand Fruits or the Walking of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, there are many characters who are known for all kinds of bizarre machinery, or otherworldly technology. Taking the initiative to use machinery to create a new body for the black rider ghost has a much better chance than a blind cat hitting a mouse and looking for the body of a strong man everywhere.
This may be a new starting point for the Black Rider......
"I also think there's a bit of a problem with the triathlon you just discussed. Shinobi reminded me not to stare at it for too long. But when I went to repair it, nothing special happened. ”
Li Yan's heart moved: "Maybe you don't meet the conditions." ”
"On what terms?"
"I know there are ghosts."
After a pause, Li Yan said again: "Looking at it now, it is not difficult for Chang Yu to ask some questions about magic technology. I'm interested in the Enfield company. ”
"It's really interesting, when you enter San Francisco, you know that the steam civilization of this fruit is really a bit of a doorway."
"So be it." Li Yan said: "Liang Hui has already given me the permission to enter the city, let's go our separate ways." You go panning for gold, and I'll go to that Black Rose Theater to see. ”
Cha Xiaodao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly remembered the huge poster on the steam airship during the day, the drama actress named Dorothy Janis, pretending to be careless: "It's better to be like this, I'll figure out a way for the gold, and leave the giant lake of the Black Rose Theater to me." I also have some memories of the streets and connections in the city, which is easy to deal with. When you enter the city, go to the stock exchange first. ”
Li Yan's face did not change: "But it's almost dark, and the exchange has long been closed, you call me at this time, what can I investigate?" ”
"Cut, drought and waterlogging."
Cha Xiaodao rolled his eyes.
Li Yan checked his hand on the shoulder of the knife, and said, "I'm going to investigate the secrets of the Giant Lake, who do you think I am?" ”
————————————————
"Giant's Lake" is one of the many fairy tales written by the Black brothers a hundred years ago, and "Giant's Lake and Jane" is the most popular of Blake's fairy tales, telling the story of "the adventurous princess Jane, who wanders alone in the mysterious Giant's Lake, and finally defeats the giant with various steam weapons".
Tonight, the organizers of the Black Rose Theatre invited the girls of the Dorothy Repertory Troupe to perform this story that is not new.
Among them, the Steam Princess: Jane, is undoubtedly played by Dorothy Janis, the lover of San Francisco and one of the greatest theatrical actors of the end of the century.
The prestigious repertory troupe, which has toured three times and is on its way to its fourth world tour, is expected to spend a week in San Francisco to perform the story in five episodes.
A hundred years have passed, and the story of the Giant's Lake and the princess has long been lackluster, but Dorothy's performance is unique and has countless fans.
This is not only because of Dorothy's proud beauty, but also because of her unique and impeccable drama performances one after another.
Her "Princess Pea" will shock even the harshest critics, and the royal family, accustomed to extravagant scenes, will also be fascinated by it. "Celtic Dance" inspired the populace. Countless people wept for it, and the performance of "Giant's Lake" made a British princess resolutely give up the boring lady etiquette class and instead devote herself to the engineering department of the Royal University and become a steam engineer.
The most beautiful kaolin flower at the end of the century, people called Dorothy as such.
At 9:50, the gentlemen and ladies wearing suits and talking loudly entered the theater in twos and threes, and Li Yan changed into a well-cut suit selected by Zhen Lian, tied a tie, and handed the performance ticket to the ticket clerk at the door with a smile.
The ticket clerk with white gloves held the ticket high, as if trying to find some traces of forgery from those exquisite hot stamped words, and it was not until the people behind him urged him impatiently that he returned the ticket to Li Yan.
"I've kept you waiting, sir."
The ticket clerk restrained his expression and bowed slightly.
"It's okay."
Li Yanchao didn't care, and walked closer to the theater.
There was a buzzing discussion from the red seats in the eyes, and if Cha Xiaodao or Chang Yu were there, they would definitely recognize the tall and fat back in the front row, which was their boss, the former director of Enfield, and the owner of the Eros Tower, St. Yve.
"To be honest, the last time I heard the story of Giant's Lake was in my grandmother's bed."
Saint-Yves laughed disapprovingly, he would not have come to see Rausch's plays if it weren't for the kind invitation of Mayor Michael, especially a play by the Riba people like "Lake of the Giants."
The townspeople are looking forward to a noble and enthusiastic beautiful princess who admires freedom and equality to fill their daydreams of heat and emptiness, but His Excellency Saint-Yves does not need it!
"Dorothy is different."
The elderly mayor was red-faced.
"Last year in Paris, I had the pleasure of watching Miss Dorothy's performance of The Red Girl, and you can't imagine her seductive beauty, as if the fairy tale Ranger Red Girl was standing alive in front of my eyes. I seem to be dozens of years younger, it is not a drama, it is a dream world. ”
"No matter how good the performance is, the story is still that story, I really can't lift it."
"Lord Yve, you are too outdated. Who doesn't know that Dorothy's play, the same play, the story will not be repeated twice. Even the little people who passed by in the original story have the possibility of becoming the protagonists. ”
"New wine in old bottles? Well, well, I'll see. ”
Saint-Yves said lazily.
At this moment, a young girl wearing a gypsy hat and showing a pair of long legs came to the two of them.
"Good evening, Lord Mayor, and good evening to Your Excellency Saint-Yves. This is a two-digit card. ”
The girl handed the two of them a card with a brief description of their identity.
One is a blacksmith, which is Mayor Michael's. One was a noble knight, Saint-Yve's.
"This is exclusive to Dorothy Repertory Theatre and is designed to make you more immersive. Put it on, maybe you're the hero of this drama. ”
After the mayor finished speaking, he did not hesitate to pin the nameplate to his chest.
Saint-Yves pouted, but did so.
The girl wore flowers and butterflies, shuttled through the crowd, and soon arrived in front of Li Yan.
"Is this Mr. Liang Hui?"
The girl asked.
"Yes."
A real name is required to buy a ticket for Black Rose's performance, and the ticket was bought in Liang Hui's name, so Li Yan was not surprised.
"This is your nameplate, do you need me to help you put it on?"
Li Yan took it: "No need, I'll do it myself." ”
He picked up the nameplate and saw that it read "Chinese laborers in the watch shop".
Li Yan smiled and pinned the nameplate to his chest. Some not-so-friendly whispers came from the surroundings.
"Why do Chinese also come to watch dramas?"
"I bet he doesn't understand English."
"Am I"
"What is his nameplate identity, the evil Fu Manchu?"
"Shhhh
In the midst of sarcasm, the curtain was opened, and on the seat stood a disabled man with only his upper body, both arms and legs severed, wearing a green jacket, messy brown hair, and fair and sickly skin under the oil lamp.
In the silence, the shocking disabled person spoke, and the voice was charming and magnetic.
"Far away in ancient lands, I have seen a beautiful princess armed with a shell gun, who has traveled through countless lands in search of lakes infested by legendary giants......"
Li Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and at the moment when this strange disabled person spoke, the "Resistance Vanguard" naturally reacted, and he had an indescribable feeling, all kinds of twisted clocks swayed in front of his eyes, and the space like water waves swayed back and forth, he subconsciously wanted to break free, but after changing his mind, he gladly accepted it.
