Northland Coastal Corridor, the capital of the Cities Union, Kswick.

On the city's most prestigious "Rose Square", the ice and snow roses that still bloom in the cold are like burning flames, dazzling and scorching.

But tonight, the night seemed to disappear, and their beauty was unappreciated, and everywhere in the square, in the surrounding streets, and in the nearby houses, where the great black "curtain" in the center could be seen, was crowded with people, who looked up at the changes of the "curtain" with almost the same shocking expression, and listened to the melancholy and serene melody of the "Moonlight Sonata" that seemed to ring in the bottom of their hearts.

It wasn't until Louise the Nightingale spoke that they came back from this sluggish state and erupted into bursts of exclamation, "There was a living person in the Veil", or was this a spell more magical than a magic radio?

Miss Nightingale's words cleared their doubts and horrors, but they caused a wave of even greater excitement and excitement, this kind of thing, they had never encountered before, and their ancestors had not encountered it either, this is the "magical civilization" repeatedly advertised in the "Voice of Mysteries"? This is a manifestation of "magical civilization".

In the crowd, a man in a fur hat looked at Louise "Nightingale" with horror and shook his head in disbelief, has the Magic Council gone one step further than the radio?

And what does that mean? Others may not know it, but as an elite night watchman, he knows better than anyone else!

Since the invention of the magic radio by Lucien Evans, the "Voice of Mysteries" has been on the air. He experienced the change of concept and attitude towards the church in many prosperous cities in the northern coastal corridor, and he didn't care about it at first, but the change in people's hearts may be in this silent silence, and when he felt that the atmosphere around him was not right, all the details were already panicking and terrifying.

Coupled with the defeat of the Church in the "Battle of Rentat", he went from being a hunter who pursued his prey to a prey that fled in a hurry and hid in Tibet.

And now, magic radios don't just deliver sound. It can also display images. What a terrible change that would bring!

Although he had witnessed everything just now, and understood that it would be unknown how many years it would take for this model to spread like the magic radio before it, the Magic Council was doing this, and was doing it step by step. And the church didn't respond.

"No, I can't. The agent must be reported immediately!" he pressed his fur hat. Lowering his head, he retreated from the increasingly crowded crowd and took a while to squeeze out.

After leaving the vicinity of the square. Silence quickly became apparent, and the Night's Watch quickly found a hidden and uninhabited corner, pulled out a brooch-like artifact, and tried to tell the Church what had just happened.

In a moment's hurry, he directly contacted the headquarters of the Inquisition in the holy city of Reims, but only a noisy voice sounded above the "brooch".

"Bastard, the 'Mysterious Voice' of the Magical Council can be heard everywhere, and images can be transmitted, but I can't even contact the Holy City of Reims, so how can I fight against a magician?" he suddenly became angry, depressed and anxious.

Although he also understands that this is not the time it was now, Xswick has been controlled by the Magic Council, and there is no way to transfer without the cathedral with the material teleportation array and the sound teleportation array, so the night watchmen lurking across the Storm Strait and the Northland coastal corridor can no longer communicate as easily as before, and the action just now is just his subconscious habitual action, but the mages of the Magic Council can still rely on the "artificial planet" to communicate with Alinge in the area ruled by the church!

Such a gap is the real reason for his frustration and impatience!

The artificial planet, which seemed to have been created only to challenge the authority of the true gods, is increasingly blooming with unimaginable light, and it is definitely one of the most far-reaching alchemical items!

He took out a cigarette that was a specialty of the Briana Kingdom, put it to his mouth with a trembling hand, and then while holding it in his mouth, he gently rubbed it with his right hand, and a flame appeared,

The cigarette lit and he took a deep puff to ease his mood before reactivating the brooch and contacting his boss, the Surrogate, who was also lurking in Koswick.

The night watchman gritted his teeth and thought that he must propose to the Church to develop our own artificial planet!

However, he also understands that this product of the more cutting-edge field of arcane research is difficult for the cardinals of the Church to imitate - if it is necessary to "launch a satellite", they will not be pressured, so if you have a chance, you can capture an artificial planet of the Magic Council!

The information about the "live satellite broadcast" was transmitted to the holy city of Reims one by one, one by one, due to the control of the parliament over its own territory, and perhaps Pope Benedict III had not received it until the Valkyrie was finished.

............

Magnificent gold is the main color of the Grand Theater of the Kingdom of Rentat, and magic crystal lamps are hung from the ceiling or inlaid on the walls, sprinkling pure and bright light, which complements the gold.

Lucien and Natasha sat in the box, waiting for "Valkyrie" to play.

"I've been looking forward to this opera for years, and tonight I finally got what I wanted. Oliver politely walked in, took off his white gloves, and shook Lucian's hand with a smile on his face.

No matter how much he disagrees in the micro realm, he doesn't usually look at Lucian, especially in the fields of theater and opera, which he loves.

"I hope you enjoy it. Lucien smiled in response and asked Oliver to sit down.

Apart from him, there were not many legendary magicians willing to attend the opening ceremony of the Rentat Festival, Douglas was busy with his own preparations and had no special fondness for opera, so he didn't show up, Brooke was almost for the same reason, and Vicente was even more unlikely to devote all her time to the study of arcane and magic because of his cold relationship with Lucien and his dislike of opera, and even his daily life seemed to be lacking in interest, and he wanted to devote all his time to arcane and magical research.

Some of the rest of the legendary magicians are out, and some are guarding the branches of various countries. Some were busy researching and didn't show up here either.

"Opera isn't too much fun. Fernando, the "Storm Master" sitting next to Lucien, stared intently at the stage, still wearing his bright red magic robe.

Seeing that "Valkyrie" was about to begin, Lucien said to Natasha with a telepathic connection, "Isn't Granny Hathaway coming?"

"She may not like the occasion with so many people, but I remember that she was still very interested in music and opera. Natasha guessed.

Lucien nodded and didn't say anything more, and Russell, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Holm below, had already begun to speak, and then announced the opening of the festival.

............

"Your Excellency, this is the first time I've seen a Prime Minister, and I look like this!" said Banus, exclaimed with joy and surprise.

Ali pulled him and shushed him, "Be polite. Otherwise, he will be reprimanded by the police. Her Majesty the Queen was fine after her coronation. It is just a reprimand, if it is before, disrespect to the nobles will be punished with caning. "And it's such a big noble!

"Understood, understood. In fact. Look at them. It's similar to me, if Mr. Police wants to reprimand, I'm afraid that his throat will be dumb. Banus looked excited.

Russell after announcing the opening of the Rentat Festival. Behind the curtain began intense preparations.

In the short time before the opera begins, the magician in charge of the broadcast adjusts the angle of the video magic array so that the "audience" can see the whole picture of the Kingdom Theater.

"It's so gorgeous, to be able to listen to an opera of the highest caliber in such a theater, it's really a shame to die!" Banus and others admired.

Then, their attention quickly shifted from the building to the nobles passing by the screen, and Louise's sweet introduction sounded in their ears: "This is His Excellency James, Duke of Pephethshire, and this is his wife, Lady Stephanie......"

Oh!

"It turns out that these are the great nobles, and the ladies and ladies are also very beautiful......" Ali admired softly, with a knowing fervor in her expression, and said that she would attend the opening ceremony......

There is a big gap between his description and the real situation, but one thing cannot be denied, due to the inheritance of active bloodlines from generation to generation, the proportion of good-looking people among the nobles is much higher than that of ordinary people.

When Ali's gaze searched for a noble lady, the screen changed again, focusing on the box.

"There's Her Majesty Queen Natasha, Her Excellency Evans, 'Atomic Control'......" Louise's introduction paused suddenly, because she was the same as the picture seen by Banus and the others, and the box was a doomsday scene that constantly cut through the surrounding silver-gray sword light, the vast but colorful universe, the storm of lightning and thunder, and the collapse and annihilation of the stars......

"This, what is this?" Ali and the others stammered today as if they were not getting better.

After Louise paused, her voice sounded unhurried again: "The Legendary Powerhouse's own aura can affect the surrounding world, so unless they deliberately restrain it, the image magic array can only record this, and this situation will not occur when it is seen by the normal naked eye......"

"It's amazing, it's a legendary powerhouse!"

"It's an amazing sight......

This situation left a deep impression on the audience such as Banus.

The short pre-curtain time soon ended, and a prelude began to sound, the melody was light and gloomy, and the melodious surface concealed the intensity, making people feel the plot of the opera at once, and emotionally ready.

"Replacing an overture with a prelude is a popular way to create opera these days, and it can be used before each act of the opera and directly after the piece...... Ali said of what he learned from his pen pals.

And in the Kingdom Theater, no one spoke anymore and began to enjoy the opera quietly.

Towards the end of the prelude, the curtain slowly rises, a female monologue is sung in recitative (a recitation-like tune), and a tall girl with no strong features takes the stage.

"This is a Valkyrie?"

The audience felt that it was a little out of line with the theme, and the rest of the story unfolded, which was different from what they imagined, in the light and long melody, the princess Amandha and the king, queen, maid, court teacher, etc., showed a happy and beautiful life.

However, the king's nephew, in collusion with the prime minister and the chief of the guard, plotted to kill the king and queen, and thanks to the help of the maids, the princess was able to escape into the forest.

The gloom and fierceness hidden under the previous beautiful melody burst out at the beginning of the conspiracy, making the audience's emotions fluctuate rapidly, both nervous about the princess and hating the villain.

At the end of the first act, during the interlude, Oliver looked at Lucien in amazement: "This is an opera? No, I admit it's a good opera, but what about the structure? Why do I feel more like a symphony?"

Prior to this, Rentat's opera was a form of orchestration, consisting of a series of well-structured divisions (including solo, duet, chorus, etc.) to form an opera, in short, centered on the music and singing, and the plot served them.

Now, Lucien's operas are more like dramas, the music is in tune with the plot, there are no obvious subdivisions, and the scenes become a whole, as if there is a symphony of themes throughout. (To be continued......)
