Verse 249: Encounter again
According to the rules set by Norman, these musicians of the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe played before him.
Because I now understand many characteristics of the symphony orchestra, I have also coordinated rehearsals for today's debut concert hall and the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe, using the depth of the stage to add a curtain, so that so many instruments can go on stage in advance, and the musicians' stage order and path have also been reasonably arranged, it is not like the first performance when a group of people just took half a day on stage, but the time is still much longer than a normal performance.
This also gave the audience time to buffer.
"Are they really going to put on a show with so many people?!"
"Seems to be funny......"
"I've always thought that the designers of Hall 1 don't have a good brain, so wouldn't it be good to design such a big stage and make the space smaller and the sound source more radioactive? β
"Probably only Hall 1 can accommodate so many people to perform together, right? Aside from the poor acoustics, it's the only place in the open air that this kind of performance is indoors. β
......
Looking at the members of the symphony orchestra who continued to take the stage, the audience in the audience became restless and exchanged heads and ears.
Of course, unlike those uneducated commoners, the people present were either nobles or middle- and high-level artists with a certain amount of education, so their conversations and discussions with each other were not noisy, they were all buzzing like floaters, which made the scene seem to vibrate.
Many of these people are well-informed, many of them have heard the rumor that there will be a "big show" today, and some other people who are not so well-informed also learned in the introduction of the host just now that the next performance will be an unprecedented music form of more than 20 people playing at the same time, but those are just heard after all, until they really saw so many people on stage together, they felt that sense of surprise.
If it were placed on other occasions, they would think that these guys were messing around without even thinking about it, but today is the concert of the Golden Autumn Arts Festival, and now it is the opening performance, and it is the most important performance of the entire concert, how can the Municipal Affairs Bureau mess around?
In other words, these people really brought a new form of music, an unprecedented number of people performing together with more than 20 people at the same time!
Now the No. 1 concert hall was full, and at a glance it was full of people, and in the middle of the middle row on the first floor, the Marquis of Archibald was sitting.
On his right hand sat a middle-aged man wearing a black blindfold on his left eye, which was so dazzling that even though the middle-aged man was dressed in the traditional aristocratic dress of the kingdom, he still didn't look much like an orthodox nobleman, but more like a bandit.
At this moment, the blindfolded man was whispering to the Marquis of Archibald beside him.
"I see what you're saying, it's really exciting to have so many people on stage together, and I'm looking forward to seeing them perform as well as you say. β
Judging from this person's tone, his identity does not seem to be worse than Archibold's, so he dares to use this equal tone between friends to talk to the marquis, and some clues can be seen from the eyes of others: while some people around these two gentlemen are whispering about the performers on stage, there are also many people who will project their eyes to this side from time to time, with some discussion but deliberately reserved expressions on their faces. And if you look at the gaze of these people, you will find that these people's gaze will not only stay on the Marquis of Archibald, but also on this blindfolded man.
After saying what he had just said, the man with the blindfold looked left and right, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and said softly: "The only thing I don't quite understand is, why are you taking me to sit here? β
The "emperor's seat" in the mouth of the eyepatch man refers to the middle of the first row on the first floor, where the best auditory enjoyment will be obtained.
Archibald smiled and nodded, turned his head slightly to him and said, "Yes, Mr. Adair, the 'Emperor's Throne' is better, but for the next performance, this is the 'Emperor's Throne'." β
"Oh?"
The eyepatch man raised his eyebrows, still a little puzzled, and Archibald explained to him: "In the usual performances, because the number of performers is too small, the volume that can be emitted is limited, even in a special structure such as Concert Hall 1, you need to sit close to experience the most detailed details and get the best auditory experience, but the next performance is different." β
"Because there are so many people, the volume will be louder than you think, and we don't have to sit close to hear every detail of the sound, which can be done in most places in Hall One, and that's when we can go for more. β
"This is the center of the whole concert hall, where the concerts on stage meet. Without worrying about the details, the music that can be heard here is the richest, most balanced, and fullest, and for this special performance, this is the real 'Emperor's Throne'......"
After a live explanation by the Marquis of Archibald, not only the blindfold man, but also some of the surrounding audience also understood the doorway, and some flattering guys took this opportunity to immediately speak, and almost got close to the Marquis with words of admiration - even in this art capital, there is no shortage of flatterers.
Just as everyone in the audience whispered, the members of the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe soon finished taking the stage.
The curtain had been raised, and they sat down behind their instruments, some with their hands on their knees, some gently stroking their instruments and checking its condition, but none of them began to play, and there was silence on the stage.
Just as most of the audience was puzzled, Norman slowly walked out of the side of the stage.
He walked unhurriedly to the center of the stage and stood on a small round platform that had been improvised β also set up at his suggestion, named "Conductor's Stage", so that all the orchestra members could clearly see his body movements.
Once on the podium, Norman bowed in the direction of the audience, and before they could see his face, he quickly turned to face the orchestra.
According to what Norman had seen in the live broadcast rooms provided to him by the Knights Templar, there would be applause when the conductor took the stage, but these people were the first time they had seen this kind of performance, and if they didn't understand the unspoken rules, he didn't expect it.
The people in the audience really didn't understand the unspoken rules of this, and when they saw this form for the first time, they all looked curiously at the man who came onto the stage with a small stick, and whispered the topic of the discussion between them just now changed to the man in front of them with his back to them.
"Who is this man, and what does he do?"
"I have a vague feeling that he may be the key to this new form of music. β
"What I'm most curious about is what he does with that little stick in his hand, and if anyone plays it wrong, take the stick and whip him? Haha, maybe that's a good idea. β
......
The humming whispers continued to fill the audience, and Norman's eyes swept over the orchestra members in front of him, and under his eyes, the violinists set up their pianos, the pianists put their hands up, and everyone was ready.
Those in the audience may not understand too many of the rules of this new form of music, but they can still understand some things on the surface. As soon as they saw the appearance of everyone on the stage, they immediately understood that these guys on the stage were about to start, and their cultivation made them all immediately shut their mouths and quietly wait to listen to this new form of music.
"Boom!"
A loud bang was heard, which shook everyone's hearts.
Is this new form of music so exciting?!
The blindfolded man's heart also trembled, and he secretly felt that Archibald was right, this movement was so loud that it might be a little unbearable for him to sit in the first row.
The strange thing is that not only the audience but also the performers on the stage are stunned: they haven't started yet, where is the sound?
But immediately, the audience found out that it was not the symphony orchestra on stage that began to play, but the sound of the concert hall!
A hole suddenly opened in the roof of the No. 1 concert hall, and the brilliant sunlight poured down from above, forming a pillar of light in the relatively dark concert hall, and a figure fell to the ground in the pillar of light, smashing through the floor to make a crisp sound of wood cracking, and then smashing into the ground below the floor with a muffled sound, these sounds passed through the special structure of the concert hall so that everyone could hear it quite clearly.
And the loud bang just now was the sound of the concert hall being punctured.
Everyone in the orchestra on stage also saw this scene, and instantly cast their eyes in the direction where the flying man landed, that is, the position in the first row of the audience and the middle of the stage.
Probably because of the effect of the "Funeral Heart Sutra", Norman heard the source of the sound before everyone else, and reacted faster than these people, and turned around first and looked in the direction where the flying man landed that day.
The floor outside the stage was not too high, only about half a leg high, so you could clearly see what the person looked like.
It turned out to be Chen Qinghe, who had disappeared!
Although the man was facing the ground, Norman could only see half of his side face, but after so many days of getting along, he was already very familiar with Chen Qinghe, just such a quarter of his face and body size were enough for him to recognize Chen Qinghe.
Chen Qinghe's current state doesn't seem to be very good, the clothes on his body are torn in many places, and he can see many scars on his body at a glance, and there are blood stains everywhere, which looks very embarrassed.
Norman's heart was shocked: Who made him look like this? He was a powerful dragon! Although Chen Qinghe had never revealed his true strength to him, based on what Norman had seen and the Templar Order's judgment, this was at least a four-star white-robed mage, and he was still an origin mage, but now he was made to look like such an embarrassed person?
At the same time, Norman also noticed a place, that is, Chen Qinghe's current posture is very strange, and the whole person is bowed there.
There was another man in his arms.
Chen Qinghe should have taken such a posture to protect the person in his arms.
Falling from the sky and impacting the ground with that kind of momentum, if you were a normal person, you would have died a long time ago and couldn't die anymore, but the dragon clan is a dragon clan after all, even in such a serious situation, this kind of impact didn't seem to cause much damage to Chen Qinghe, he immediately got up, but Norman could clearly see from his movements that many of his movements had been deformed.
He was indeed badly injured, so even such a simple movement of standing up had so many deformation and sluggishness.
And as Chen Qinghe stood up, Norman finally saw the man in his arms.
This glance made Norman's pupils shrink suddenly.
He even knew this man!
The person who was protected in Chen Qinghe's arms was a little girl, and she looked very embarrassed like Chen Qinghe, her body was dirty and broken, with a lot of scars, and her body movements were a little strange, looking like she was soft and boneless.
Although this little girl is very dirty, tattered and gray-headed, she looks very good, especially her eyes, which are extremely attractive.
It was a pair of emerald green eyes.
This is the little girl Norman had seen in CΓ‘rdenas, and she had saved herself the night Leopold tried to kill her!
The world is so small......
The Knights Templar speculated at the time that this little girl was probably not human, and looking at Chen Qinghe's protective attitude towards her now, it can be seen that she is indeed not human.
This should be the same as Chen Qinghe, a dragon clan.
After Chen Qinghe stood up with the little girl in his arms, he quickly glanced left and right, as if he was planning to find a direction to escape, but he saw Norman who was staring at them blankly on the stage.
Chen Qinghe's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior, but immediately the light dimmed again.
Is he still unclear about Norman's strength? At most, it is only the level of a red-robed mage. Although he has a special blood sacrifice method that can cast forbidden spells, with Norman's current physical state, it is impossible to use such a method again, so Norman is not helpful to his current situation at all.
At this moment, there was a sudden creaking sound in all directions, and then only the thud sounded in all directions, and everyone in the concert hall saw a magical scene happen.
The roof of the No. 1 concert hall actually broke away from the main body of the concert hall, flew up completely, and disappeared after a while!
The concert hall was lit up by a large expanse of bright sunlight, and all the audience sat in their places, wondering why they had lost all the roofs when they were just here to listen to a concert.
Norman, on the other hand, looked up and looked at the sky.
I saw that in the sky directly above them, there were several people scattered in all directions, and one of them was still a little familiar to him.
He seemed to have seen this man when he soared on the Bone Dragon in that forbidden battle.
