324. Spectators on the battlements
If you don't listen to an opera with your own ears, it's hard to imagine that powerful rendering power.
The opera tells the story of the Elven King Pegatia of the Silver Moon leading an elven alliance through the Eternal Night Forest, across the Endless Sea, and into the Savage Swamp to educate the savage lizard tribes against the demons of hell.
All the performers on the stage were dressed in heavy costumes, especially those who played the lizard-people and wore thick hoods and made exaggerated movements, as if they could not walk upright without the words and deeds of the silver moon elves.
The rumored lizard beast tamer is definitely a powerful existence, the lizard warriors are good at jungle hunting, their archery skills can only be used in the dense forest to exert the greatest power, it is said that these lizard warriors ride dragons, can freely fly over the jungle swamp, they are cruel and ruthless, occupying a large area of wild swamps in the south of the Roland continent.
At the end of an opera, Mrs. Christie's eyes were red with the drama, although the opera was over, but Mrs. Christie was immersed in the plot and couldn't extricate herself, leaning on Carl's arms, and kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
As the performers reappeared on the stage for curtain calls, there was a round of applause throughout the opera house, and the audience in the hall stood up and applauded the performers.
The audience in the private room on the second floor also walked to the front of the terrace, and then everyone began to leave one after another.
The group left the opera house, and Surdak rejected Karl's offer to send him back to the Knight Academy.
'Just kidding, put up with both of you all night. ’
Surdak smiled and stood on the side of the street waving goodbye to Carl.
……
The street in front of the opera house was full of magic caravans, and the nobles boarded their carriages, and then these magic caravans left the opera house in an orderly manner, Surdak wanted to rent a carriage to go back to the knight's academy, but found that the carriages waiting in front of the opera house were private, and after waiting for a while, they could not find a carriage.
After waiting for a while, there was still no empty carriage rented, Surdak felt that he couldn't wait any longer, he looked around, identified the direction, and walked along the long street towards the Knight Academy, but after walking a few hundred meters, he was a little embarrassed to find that the direction seemed to be reversed, although this mountain city is not too big, but the layout of the buildings in the city is extremely messy, Surdak originally wanted to find some landmark buildings in the city as road signs, such as the magic tower of the Mage Guild near the Knight Academy.
After walking a few hundred meters, Surdak realized that he had used the bell tower on the Municipal Square as a mage tower, and Surdak had to go back the same way, and saw that there was a narrow alley between the opera house and the trading house, which looked like it led to a back street, so Surdak decided to take a shortcut and try to cross the opera house along this narrow alley.
The alley was very dark inside, and there were some debris piled up on the wall, which made the already narrow alley even more difficult, Surdak regretted a little, in order to take a few steps less to get into such a dark alley, he prayed in his heart that the end of this alley was not a dead end.
But the more you worry about something, the more you will come, after walking out for more than half the way, a huge iron fence appeared in the alley in front, this iron fence separates the alley into two sections, and the road ahead is impassable.
Through the iron fence, it was easy to see the traffic on another street, and Surdak looked back at the distance he had traveled, and was reluctant to go back the way he came.
He looked up and saw that the fence was a little high, but it wasn't hard to climb. So he rubbed his hands, looked around and saw that there seemed to be no one, and quickly climbed up the fence, and on either side of the railing there were tall square battlements, on which Surdak reached out and rode over.
He was about to jump from the three-meter-high wall, when the back door of the opera house was pushed open, and a figure flashed out of it, and the delicate figure first poked his head out and looked vigilantly at the left and right, and saw that there seemed to be no one in the alley behind, so he walked out of the opera house, and the man looked around vigilantly, so that his body was always hiding in the shadow of the corner, and walked out of the alley quickly.
Just as the figure reached the mouth of the alley, suddenly a magic caravan stopped at the mouth of the alley, and the door opened, Baron Grenfell poked his head out of the car, and reached out to pull the man into the car, and the door closed quickly, and the magic caravan continued to merge into the traffic.
At this time, Surdak happened to be riding on the top of the battlement, he blended perfectly into the dark night, and just saw the pale side face of Baron Grenfell, but the figure was wearing a cloak, with a hood on his head, and he couldn't see his face clearly, judging from his figure, he should be a lady, and the moment she boarded the caravan caravan, Surdak just saw the loose sleeves on her arms slip down, revealing an arm like a white lotus, and that arm was printed with a black devil pattern like an eye.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally bumped into the scene of Baron Grenfell having a private meeting with the dancers of the opera company.
No wonder Karl said that Baron Grenfell liked to listen to opera, and that he knew a little more about a certain dancer at the opera house.
Surdak thought: the next time I go to the tavern for a drink, I can talk to Karl, maybe the investigation of Baron Grenfell can start from the opera house.
Surdak sat on top of the battlement, wondering whether to tell Karl the news as soon as possible.
At this time, a knight came into the mouth of the alley, and he walked quickly to the iron fence to make sure that no one around him had returned the way he came.
‘……’
Obviously, this knight's servant should be Grenfell's subordinate, and he returned to make sure there was no stalker behind him.
Surdak crouched on top of the battlement a little speechlessly, fearing that the knight would return, and waited for a while before jumping down.
Then he quickly walked out of the alley, and when he came to the street, the magic caravan gathered around the opera house had completely dispersed, and the magic caravan on the street had returned to normal, and he had not taken a few steps before a magic caravan slowly stopped beside him, and the coachman cautiously asked Surdak if he wanted to take the carriage.
Surdak boarded the carriage without any hesitation.
Rely on your own double. Legs walk back to the academy, I'm afraid it's going to be midnight.
It is estimated that by that time, the doors of the dormitory were closed, and Surdak said to the coachman: 'Go to the knight's academy......'
The dim streetlights on both sides of the street swept back quickly, leaving streamers of light on the window panes, and the shops on both sides of the street had already begun to close, and Surdak pushed open the glass windows to let the cold wind of the night blow into the carriages.
On late autumn nights, the night breeze is a little chilly......
