Chapter 52: Travel
Over the next few days, the word-of-mouth of Beauty and the Devil simmered in a near-explosive form throughout the magical capital of Nolan.
Nolan is in the preparation period for the Universal Exposition, during which various countries have sent envoys to visit Nolan, not only the envoys, but also many nobles and magicians from all over the world have rushed to participate in this grand ceremony, which may only occur once in more than ten years.
This has also resulted in more than half of the audience that contributed to the box office of "Beauty and the Devil" from other countries.
Nolan's own citizens make up a very small part, and the rest are magicians who have dual citizenship of Nolan and other countries and come to Nolan to study.
In just a few days, "Beauty and the Devil" completely set off a wave in Nolan, and the plot of the movie became the talk of young people and even those aristocratic wives at afternoon tea, and the golden princess dress worn by Belle has even appeared in many clothing stores, which is the so-called 'peripheral' on the earth.
Film, a new form of acting, began to spread with "Beauty and the Devil" as an opportunity, like a highly contagious virus.
And the most affected by this virus is none other than the legendary 'Flower of Fallosi' Caroli.
She was standing on stage at the Norlan National Theatre to close her fourth performance......
Caroli has always been in a state of absent-mindedness when performing, and she used to take it seriously even if she thought her repertoire was boring.
And the reason why she is absent-minded today is that the audience's attention is not focused on her either.
There were many fewer people in attendance today than before, and at the end of the curtain she could faintly hear the audience talking about Belle's name......
Caroli stepped off the stage and went behind the scenes.
"Why didn't you take me with you when you went to see Beauty and the Devil yesterday."
"Didn't you grab a ticket this morning? Well, that demon prince's mane must be pleasant to the touch. ”
"Others are evil ......"
Caroli stood behind the two women who played supporting roles in the troupe, and when they noticed Caroli, they immediately stopped talking.
"Big... Miss ......"
In the Black Swan Troupe, Caroli's identity is absolute, because this troupe was originally created by Caroli's father for her daughter.
"Don't worry about me, go and rest."
Caroli's face didn't change, she still maintained a proper smile, and the two left in a panic after receiving Caroli's pardon.
After they left, Caroli was silent for a while, then went to the dressing room to change out of her heavy skirt and choose a more modest dress.
"Miss, don't you really want to go to that man......"
"Has he been identified?"
Caroli tied up her long black hair that reached her waist in front of the mirror, and at the same time condensed a dark shadow in the mirror.
"This... It's better not to have contact with that man, really. ”
Shadow's tone seemed a little impatient.
But Cara's expression was still very calm, as if she had already made up her mind not to change it.
"You just have to tell me who he is and what he is behind it." Caroli said.
"I tried, but I couldn't find any clues."
"Can't find any clues?"
Caroli stopped combing her hair and looked back at the shadows behind her, her expression finally showing a look of surprise.
"You're the best apprentice of the Guardian of the Blackwood, and you can't get any information just by relying on your clan's unique 'concealment' and 'perception' inscriptions?"
It was the first time Caroli had heard her guards say that.
"I actually know the two places where he lives, but I don't dare get too close to him... Because he would be discovered, he seemed to be able to sense my presence. ”
Shadow remembered her recent spying experience, and remembered something that she had to mention.
"Not only that, but I also felt a terrible force in him!"
"How scary?"
It's also the first time that Caroli has seen her guards scared like this.
"A breath of death, I have slashed many necromancers, but this aura on his body is far more terrifying than the sum of the necromancers in my previous blades, plus he has an affair with demons......"
The information that the shadow said is enough to create a big boss behind the scenes of the underworld forces.
"Can you protect me, then?"
Caroli continued to comb the ends of her hair and remove all the light makeup from her face.
"Of course no problem, wait and so on... Miss, I've said so much, you still want to see him?! ”
"Where are the two places where he lives?"
The shadow's rake tone didn't bother Caroli, and she walked out of the locker room towards the periphery of the backstage.
"I... I'm going to talk to the Duke......"
She panicked a little, but as soon as Caroli stretched out her hand to the void, she instantly grabbed a white arm, and along with the arm appeared a pointed ear, and the ear shook a little.
A large number of pitch-black inscriptions were engraved on the surface of this arm, and the light that bloomed from the inscriptions gradually began to fade.
"This matter is kept secret from my father, otherwise you know the consequences."
Caroli's burgundy pupils stared at the void calmly, as if she knew the man in the shadows was standing there.
"I... Got it. ”
The tone in the shadows was a little blurry, and finally disappeared directly, and Caroli pushed the door open and left behind the scenes.
"Miss Caroli!"
Professor Shalinya had been waiting at the door for a long time, and he was about to tell Caroli about the upcoming performance.
But when Professor Salinya saw Caroli's simple clothes and a new hairstyle, Professor Salinya realized that the black swan didn't want to stay in the lake again!
"Miss Caroli, where are you going?"
Professor Shalinya is ready to be a tour guide for Caroli at any time, and he has been holding his breath lately, because the White Vitex Theater has completely robbed him of his business in just a few days!
The most angry thing is that he also went to the White Vitex Theater to buy tickets, and more than once!
I just can't control it!
That's what popped into Professor Shalinya's head at the time.
Now the only hole card in his hand that can defeat the White Thorn Flower Theater is the Black Swan Theater......
"I heard that a new tavern had opened three blocks in front of the theater." Caroli said.
"Wine... Tavern? Miss Caroli, you can't go to that kind of filthy place, where it's full of stinky dwarves and tasteless drunkards! ”
Professor Salinya was not very fond of dwarves, these creatures who spent their days working as miners underground never knew how to appreciate art, or never contributed a ticket to his theater, even the haughty elves would bring some profit to his theater.
"You still have racial discrimination--seeking?"
Caroli glanced at the shadows behind her, many years ago humans did have a great barrier to other races, such as dwarves or elves, but since the appearance of Nolan, the capital of magic.
It has become not only the center of the world's world, but also the center of the world's various races, and under Nolan's influence, the original barrier between humans and other races has gradually dissolved, and instead it has become proud to know those high elves or be a good dwarven master.
It is still possible to find people who have a discriminatory view of dwarves - humans are really rare animals.
"No... Let me lead the way. ”
Professor Salinya couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only use this reason to change the subject.
So Caroli came to the outside of the theater and got into a carriage, and the carriage slowly drove to the commercial street not far from the Nolan National Theater.
