Chapter 38: The Premiere
Another fiasco caused Herlan to take his attention off the ping-pong and look at Sir Thorn and Josiu as they walked out of the room.
"Is Mr. Joshua's meeting over? So Heely... It's time for you to join me in the academy now. ”
Herlan still underestimated Ciri's 'good feelings' for Qiao Xiu, who had already warned Herlan that the negotiations might take a long time before entering the room.
So Herlan was going to take Ciri back to school to save her school, but Ciri was stuck at the door and refused to leave.
Looking at Ciri's posture, it seems that he will die if he gets too far away from Qiao Xiu.
However... This is a fact, a fact that only Ciri and Josiu know, and Ciri has so far not found a good opportunity to explain to Herlan about her relationship with Josiu.
Fortunately, the theater's hospitality to its guests was excellent, and the charm of the game of ping pong finally distracted Herland.
"Sister, it's night."
Heary pointed to the clock on the side of the hallway wall, one of the magic machines created by the patent revolution thirty years ago, and for the first time in the world since the invention of the inscription-driven clock, humans in the world had accurate their time to the point of seconds.
"At night? Obviously, it only took more than ten minutes..."
Herlan's words came to an abrupt halt when he saw the clock on the wall, the hand of which pointed to seven with unmistakable precision.
Before Herlan came, the number was five, which meant that she had been sitting here with Ciri for two hours!
But Herlan felt like the two hours had gone by in a flash, and all she had done that afternoon was to play a few games of the game called ping pong with Ciri.
Is... Terrible!
Herlan looked at the white ping-pong window in his field of vision, and felt a chill down his spine.
Herland had always considered wasting time a felony, and the game of ping pong had cost her two hours.
She was hesitant to use magic to erase Ping Pong from her consciousness.
The reason for the hesitation was unwillingness, she had just lost three games in a row to Ciri, and each time she could win Ciri if she persevered a little longer.
So Herlan thought about it for a moment and gave up on the idea.
"I've kept you waiting, and I'm going to have to prepare for the premiere next, I'm afraid Ciri won't be willing to go back so early." Qiao Xiu said.
Qiao Xiu's words poked at the careful thoughts of Ciri's heart.
If you really like a movie, you won't get tired of watching it dozens of times, and Ciri's treatment is not as good as that of the skeleton father, and the final part of Ciri hasn't seen it yet.
So Ciri has been waiting for this day for a long time!
"But, Mr. Qiao Xiu......"
Herlan looked a little embarrassed, the High School of Magic she attended stopped teaching at eight o'clock in the evening, and if she ran over now, she might be able to catch up with the academy teacher's class.
Ciri hadn't reported for almost half a year, and if it weren't for Ciri's talent in magic that was even more terrifying than her, Ciri might have been expelled from the Higher Academy of Magic, in fact, the teachers in the academy had already complained about this crazy girl who didn't come to class for half a year.
The profession of magician is a real symbol of status in Nolan, and Herlan still hopes that Ciri can continue his studies at the High School of Magic.
"Anyway, I haven't been to class for half a year, it doesn't matter if I wait another day, sister, I chose to stay and watch the premiere, if I miss it, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Ciri said.
“……”
Herland had always considered stage plays to be a pastime, and she had been pulled in by her classmates before, but she had no interest in it.
Even if Herlan brings Ciri to school as an older sister now, it doesn't do anything, because... She can't beat Ciri.
With a third-level magician certificate, she is no match for a second-level magic apprentice.
Ciri's magic is more fancy, while she is more academic.
"Okay......" Herlan finally agreed.
So under the leadership of Sir White Vitex, Qiao Xiu came all the way to the performance hall of this theater.
There are two performance halls in the White Thorn Flower Theater, the first is the hall used for formal performances, and the audience seats are divided into three floors, which are enough to accommodate 2,000 people to watch a performance.
Even if no one visits the theater for a long time, the seats in the auditorium are spotless, and the ceiling is engraved with delicate pale gold lines, giving the whole theater a bit of golden splendor.
This theater has been truly glorious......
"What do you think, sir?"
Sir Bravit came to Qiao Xiu's side, and he no longer had the humility he had just now, for everything around him where he was standing was worthy of his pride, and it was enough for him to straighten himself up in front of outsiders.
"The stage is too small."
Qiao Xiu walked to the side of the stage and glanced at the back of the audience, this place is quite suitable for the opera house, but if it is a stage play, the audience sitting on more than three floors wants to see the scenery of the stage, and they must use the magic of 'Eagle Eye'.
"My lord, I can swear this is Nolan's biggest stage, not even that despicable theater."
"But it's still too small."
This theater is much larger than a movie theater, and if Sir White Vitex could accept it, Qiao Xiu would definitely tear down the entire theater and rebuild it.
But Qiao Xiu didn't have that time now, and this knight, who valued the theater more important than his own life, would not accept it.
"Remove the curtain from above."
Qiao Xiu pointed to the curtain hanging above the theater, which is usually used when changing scenes in a stage play.
After hesitating for a moment, Sir Bravit had the red curtain that had been hanging on the stage for decades to be removed.
After the curtain was removed, the stage was completely displayed in front of all the audience, and Qiao Xiu did not care about the stage, but the huge whiteboard behind the stage, which occupied almost the entire flat space of the theater.
"My lord, which is the white wall used to set up the background?" Sir White Thorn explained to Qiao Xiu.
"Can you move?"
Qiao Xiu didn't expect to be able to make a ring-screen movie in this world, but the giant screen is the most basic... The convenient thing about the original spar is that no matter how big the projected picture is, it will not affect the picture quality.
The whiteboard at the back of the stage is undoubtedly a great medium for projection.
"Absolutely."
"Push it to the front of the stage."
Under Qiao Xiu's instructions, Sir White Vitex slowly moved the huge whiteboard to the front of the stage.
"Perfect, sir, extinguish all the stones that glow."
Qiao Xiu felt that this whiteboard could indeed be used as a medium for projection... Qiao Xiu walked directly down the steps to the tenth row or so of the audience on the first floor, and after inputting magic power into the original crystal, the picture of the movie was magnified countless times and projected on the whiteboard.
Effect... Not bad.
Qiao Xiu sat on the soft cushion and looked at the picture projected on the giant screen of the whiteboard, and finally regained the feeling of watching movies in the cinema before.
"Here we go." Ciri sat down next to Qiao Xiu very unceremoniously, and then whispered to Herlan.
"This is... Stage plays? ”
Rather than Ciri cared about the plot of the movie, Herlan cared more about what was going on on the whiteboard, which didn't look like any kind of performance that Herlan knew.
