Chapter 20: After the Raiders (4)

The play "The Brave and the Black Knight" prepared by the Players Theatre Company named "Shakespeare" starts at 8:00 p.m. in the upper palace of the West End Basement Library.

Li Mengxi has to admit that they are quite professional, and they are very attentive to the script lines, stage layout and small props, and they can't do this without considerable experience.

In addition, they are also working hard in publicity, if Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain hadn't come here an hour and a half in advance to wait, I'm afraid there would be no seats at this time. Even in this case, there are still many players who are willing to stand and watch the show.

In fact, this is a matter of course. While it may seem strange to say given the gaming world, there isn't much entertainment to be had here.

Under the pressure of the rules of death, after living here for more than a month, I am afraid that this place is already equivalent to the real world for players.

There are so far no more than two kinds of entertainment here. One is to find a pub in the bar street in the North District to chat with your buddies or listen to the songs sung by NPCs. The second is to go to the underground library to read.

Now that there's finally a new form of entertainment like drama, it's no surprise that even the whole city of players is coming to find out. Fortunately, at this moment, the high street with its celebrations disperses most of the people, especially those who are easily agitated, otherwise it is likely that a large-scale riot would have broken out before the play has even started.

As for the content of the specific plays, it roughly tells such a story......

A long, long time ago, the forest kingdom was invaded by an army of monsters led by the evil Great Demon King "Black Knight".

At the king's call, the people of the whole country, regardless of gender, old and young, rose up to resist and finally formed a scorching situation, but because of the Black Knight's own extraordinary strength, the kingdom was never able to achieve victory.

The hero is a brave man who is said to be able to defeat the Black Knight, and the Black Knight attacks the hero's village in order to destroy him. This instead prompted the hero to abandon his attitude of not caring about himself and devote himself to the battle with the Black Knight Legion.

The heroine is a princess of the kingdom, and she sneaked out of the palace and joined the hero's army by accident when she was not allowed by the king to participate in the battle.

The heroes and heroines establish friendships and love in the years they have crossed countless difficult battlefields together. In the end, they showed their hearts to each other in a crucial and extraordinarily tragic battle.

The advantage gained on the battlefield finally gave the kingdom a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach the Black Knight's base camp. But the regular army was exhausted, and the generals were afraid to fight.

In the face of the cowardice of the Kingdom Army, the leaders of the four Volunteers bravely stood up and rallied their companions to summon up the courage to launch a final attack on the Black Knight.

When he saw this scene, Li Mengxi had an extremely strong sense of immediacy.

Then the next scene, the four leaders draw their swords and swear at the oath meeting before the expedition begins.

"We, Camelot, Pandora, Rex, and Oberiske swear to the ancient god of justice that we will defeat the Demon King and protect our friends!"

I see! This is completely adapted from the deeds of four teams teaming up to attack the Black Ice Knight!

Li Mengxi, who suddenly came to his senses, turned his head to look at Nayin Hinata who was snickering.

"You already knew. ”

"Yes, and I know you're the prototype of the brave!"

"I'm fine, but Richard, can they do it over there?"

"What's not to do. Richard's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and at the same time, a powerful palm also slapped on Li Mengxi's shoulder.

He looked back, and sure enough, he saw Richard, Williams, Lomaria, Hughes, Bordeaux, and others sitting behind them at some point.

"Rather, that's what a few of our guild leaders allowed. If someone who is easily infected sees this, he might immediately join the guild. ”

"I see, so those three are here too, right? ”

"Duke and Fu Qingshu did meet, but that Edman guy still prefers the tavern, and his staff officer came to supervise it, saying that in order not to make 'Lord Edman's image deviate'. How does it feel to talk about this without talking about it. ”

"The plot is very traditional, but it's well performed. Especially the male and female protagonists. ”

"Are you praising yourself or the actor?"

"I'm praising the actor very objectively. ”

"Anyway, thank me. They wrote this plot with you as the main characters, and I contributed a lot. ”

"We!" Hinata exclaimed, "So I have a role to play!"

"Yes, I'm trying hard to gossip out!" said Richard, giving a smug thumbs up, "Oh, here it is." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Mengxi and Hinata Naine hurriedly turned their heads to look at the stage.

At this time, it was time for a team of forty people to fight against the huge black knight. One of the female warriors wears a new armor that looks different, but in terms of the color of the parts, it is almost exactly the same as Hinata's combat uniform, and those who understand it will know at a glance that this is a character based on Hinata Nain. If you look closely, isn't this a princess!

In an instant, Naine Hinata recalled all the rivalry between the hero and heroine, especially the part about love. Then, she was overloaded.

"This, this, this, this kind of thing, I, I, I, I, why haven't I heard of it!"

"If I had told you, would I have come to see it with your personality?" said Romania, teasing.

In the current situation where there is no way to escape, Naine Hinata can only cover her face with her hands, but at the same time, she still cares about casting her gaze from between her fingers to the stage.

Soon the climax of the whole play came.

Under the magic of the Black Knight, everyone was stripped of their powers, and only the brave relied on their strong willpower to awaken the "Holy Sword". The setting is also very old-fashioned, but the audience is satisfied.

However, the power of the black knight is really not simple, even if the power of the holy sword is exerted, the brave is still at a disadvantage. At this point, it's time for the princess role to come into play.

"Ah, I love and I love my knight......"

While listening to the actress on the stage reciting very sensual lines, Li Mengxi turned her head curiously to see Hinata Nain's reaction.

With nowhere to escape, she had to plug her ears and bury her face in her knees, and the blush spread from her cheeks to her neck.

Li Mengxi smiled slightly and stopped looking at the girl's shy appearance, and put her eyes back on the stage.

Inspired by the princess, the brave man finally defeated the Black Knight and brought peace to the forest kingdom. The ending is also very traditional...... Since then, the princess and the brave man have lived happily together, just like a fairy tale.

In this day and age, if it were such a stereotyped and simple story in the real world, I am afraid that not many people would go to see it even if they didn't have tickets. But the players in this game world gave them the warmest applause when the actors took a curtain call.

For the players who gather here, the content of the drama itself is not important, what matters is that the actors bring them great joy in this moment. A lot of people are willing to watch it again, but of course Naine Hinata is strongly opposed to her own group doing so.

So, Li Mengxi, Hinata Nain and Richard left the palace as a theater together.

As she walked, Naine Hinata hid by Li Mengxi's side like a frightened cat, staring at Richard viciously.

Richard, on the other hand, perfectly ignores her malice.

"Do you two have any other arrangements after that?"

Hearing this, Li Mengxi looked at Hinata Nain, and the girl crossed her hands in front of her chest and shook off her head with an angry look.

"Nothing special!"

"So, are you interested in coming to Obelisk Square for a party?"

"Party?" Hinata suddenly forgot about "hatred" and turned around with interest.

"That's right, the bonfire party jointly organized by our four guilds has food, drink, and dance. Even if it's my reparation to Miss Hinata. ”

"It's not bad! Li Mengxi, let's go together!"

Hearing this, Li Mengxi groaned slightly, and then nodded.

"Okay. ”

β€œOK!Let’sgo!”

Richard shouted loudly and took the lead towards the entrance and exit of the central district.

The distance from the underground stacks to the square of the obelisk was not very long, and the group quickly reached their destination.

Originally a place where about 10,000 players were imprisoned, it has now become a banquet hall for people to celebrate freely.

Four large campfires dispel the gloom around the towering obelisk, surrounded by countless tables filled with food for the player to buffet, and delivery people from various NPC restaurants can be seen replacing empty plates with plates full of food.

Between the bonfire and the feast, there is a huge circular space where countless players, men and women, dance in tandem and perform a variety of dance steps.

Richard and the others quickly joined the crowd, while Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain had been watching and watched for a long time.

"Won't you invite me to dance at a rare ball?" asked Hinata after hesitating for a long time.

Hearing this, Li Mengxi smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, I can't dance. ”

"What, I see. Then I'll teach you how to jump, and I'll pay you in advance for teaching me how to ride a horse in the future. ”

"Yes, yes. But aren't you wearing a kimono?"

"Kimono has a kimono jump!" said Hinata, Nayin took a few steps forward, turned around to face Li Mengxiping, and stretched out her right hand.

"This handsome gentleman, did you want to dance with me, a country girl who is not talented?"

"It's my honor. ”

Li Mengxi was full of acting skills and held up Hinata Nain's hand from below. Then the two of them joined the dancing crowd and danced as merrily as they did.

However, there are all kinds of feasts in the world, and happy times always pass quickly. At midnight at night, when the bonfire party was completely over, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain finally ushered in the moment of saying goodbye.

They parted ways in the Obelisk Square, and Naon Hinata walked to the hotel where she had settled in the East District, but Li Mengxi did not return to the South District.

His eyes sharpened the moment he turned his back, and then he deliberately avoided the eyes of the other players and quietly returned to the underground library in the West End.

The drama of the upper palace has ended, and it has become very lonely here, which is just right for Li Mengxi. He went straight down to the first floor of the library from the caliber, and then found an NPC named "Scarlet Sairos" in a hidden corner in the deepest part.

"Adventurer, you're finally here. The NPC was very excited to greet Li Mengxi when he saw him.

"How's that?" Li Mengxi asked solemnly.

"Can I take another look at that thing?"

"Didn't you already read it in the afternoon!" said with some annoyance, but Li Mengxi still opened his warehouse.

The flick of the finger list eventually stops on a prop called "Slate One", and the name of the maker on this item is "Simon li".

After staring at it for a short time, Li Mengxi materialized the prop, which was part of a large stone slab that had been shattered. He then gave it to Scarlet Syros.

"That's right, this is it!" exclaimed the NPC as he looked at the gravel slab, "You're the chosen one!"

"What do you mean?"

According to the results of my examination of ancient books, every time I pass a God's trial, there will be such a broken stone tablet as proof. And only the one who holds the former tablet can get the latter. So whoever has a gravel slab in his hand is the one chosen. ”

"I'm not interested in any of that. I just want to know what's going on with the producer 'Simon li'!"

"He, no, this god is the king of the nine creation gods, the supreme god who presides over creation and creation!"

The phrase "leading creation and creation" was translated as "chief game designer" the moment it entered Li Mengxi's ears, that is, his brother Li Weiyi. He couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

"What does he have to do with this broken stone slab!" Li Mengxi couldn't wait to ask.

According to ancient books, when all nine tablets of stone are put together, the Most High God will come before the chosen one. The chosen ones will accept God's final trial on behalf of humanity!"

Trials or anything, Li Mengxi didn't care at all, what he cared about was whether the god was really his brother...... He wanted him to be ...... He thinks he is......

Then his first priority in this world is......

Thinking like this, Li Mengxi's gaze at the stone slab gradually became fanatical.
