The rehearsal time of the Spring Festival Gala is located in the mountains west of the capital, and the range is very large, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. There were no magical beasts, not even carnivorous beasts, few and no people, but the vegetation was lush and green, and the forests wrapped around the hills one by one and stretched into the distance.

This place has been one of the dueling places for the powerhouses of the Holy Rank since ancient times, after all, reaching the strength of the Holy Rank, it is too destructive to fight in the city. So with this agreement, in addition to dueling, it is natural that they can also learn from each other, learn from each other, or even just play.

Here, whether it is a sword master or a great mage, there is no need to have the slightest scruples, the deep chasm on the mountain, and the huge pit show the once powerful battle. And as for why there are no magical beasts, no wild beasts, no one living here, this does not need to be explained.

However, although the place was originally chosen for the duel, there were not many Saint-level powerhouses who really came here for the duel. According to the records, there are no more than two hands, and most of them are just to learn, or even just to vent and play. The few stories of real duels have been turned into various versions by the bards, and they have been blown for hundreds of years.

For this reason, it is known as the Heroes Mountains. Those who can duel on Hero Mountain are particularly stylish. However, the version of the hero mountain in the mouth of the bard is different, some say that the mountain is golden and magnificent, some say that the mountain is full of corpses and bones, and the anger is overwhelming, and some say that the mountain has long been gone and has been blown into a deep pit of tens of thousands of meters......

Now it seems that the lush greenery is not much different from ordinary mountains, and those deep pits and scratches seem to add a few scars to the mountain, if it were not for the fact that it was a hero mountain in advance, I would have thought it was a natural phenomenon.

"Is the Holy Order still dueling here?" Kevin asked casually. The group of them set out from the capital and arrived here all the way, but it was already noon.

"Once in a while," replied President Bright, "everybody's busy right now, but there are some meetings in our spare time. But I don't have much to do with it, and when it comes to our strength, we don't need to demonstrate, if you have any new ideas, just talk about it. ”

Kevin nodded, except for the new Saint-level powerhouses, for the old Sword Saint, splitting the mountain may not be able to give them any fun. These traces are probably a long time ago.

Erwin, the head of the Imperial Troupe on the side, replied casually: "There are also similar Saint Order battle places on the side of our Empire, but there have always been people fighting over there, and it is called Freedom Island. ”

"I wonder if Head Irving would be interested in having a chat with us?" President Bright invited, "and after the rehearsal, the staff withdrew, and the place was empty. ”

Captain Erwin shook his head again and again: "I'm old, I can't move." ”

Everyone just laughed and didn't force it anymore.

Turning along the mountain road, a high mountain suddenly opened up in front of you, and a wide platform was temporarily built against the slope of this side of the mountain, which was connected to the slope of another mountain for several kilometers, as if a board had been erected between the two mountains. Eight magic towers more than 100 meters high have been erected around it, there are airships suspended in the air, the surrounding elements are full and orderly, and there are tents in the distance. Standing on the hillside and looking down, the platform is densely packed with flowers and flowers, all of which are actors or crew members in costumes.

"The size of Lou Pauler is always impressive. The head of the empire couldn't help but sigh, there are at least tens of thousands of people here.

"It's okay. Bright replied casually, "Let's go straight to the director's office." ”

I saw Bright take out a staff of authority and wave it a few times. A stream of water shot directly from the far end of the platform, drawing a long arc that extended to the feet of the people, who were still on the mountain road, and the distance between the two ends was at least three or four kilometers, and the water flow was like building a bridge in the air over and over again, forming an aerial river, with nothing to rely on below, and it was extremely magical.

Bright casually took out a small wooden boat from the spatial ring and threw it on the current, and jumped in first. The crowd followed, and the boat swayed slightly, but it was still steady. Immediately the water in the air began to recover, just launched out, now it is sucked back, the boat is facing forward with the return of the current, right at the end of the current, the front is water, and there is nothing behind.

The breeze in the mountains is blowing, and there is a thin wooden boat under the feet, and the water is only half a meter deep under the boat, and it is already 100 meters in the air below. This is much faster than the high-altitude water flow in the city, and it also looks much more dangerous, but the psychological quality of everyone present is first-class, and everyone is calm.

"Can permissions still be used like this?" asked Captain Erwin.

"Of course," Bright laughed, "I can freeze this stream and we'll skate." ”

As he spoke, Bright raised his hand again, and a creaking sound was heard in his ears, and the whole stream of water turned into ice in an instant, and half of the parabola was strangely fixed in the air, no longer flowing back. Strictly with force analysis, there is no reason why the ice bar can maintain this position without falling, but since the water can float in the sky, the ice bar is naturally no problem.

The small wooden boat was immediately frozen in the ice, and a chill came from under his feet. Bright jumped again, then sat down on the ice bar and slid all the way down like a slide, then stood up and waved to the crowd.

There were also a few of Bright's entourage beside him, and when they saw the president sliding down, they immediately followed, and they came down the ice slide one by one, and in a moment the regimental leader and Kevin were left in the boat.

Kevin was surprised in his heart, is this aimed at me? There is no railing on either side of this ice bar, and there are traces of the undulating water on the ice just now, if this slides off, won't it fall? Of course, Kevin believes that there is a strong person of the Holy Rank, he will not die, but he will lose face.

Kevin subconsciously glanced at the group leader, but saw that the group leader also frowned slightly. Only then did I understand in my heart that they were not targeting me, but at him. I don't know if I want to test the strength of the Imperial Troupe Leader or embarrass him, but I'm also on the boat, so I'll target him by the way.

"Mr. Kevin, are you or me first?" Captain Erwin asked Kevin with a smile as he furrowed his eyebrows.

Kevin rubbed his hands: "Then I'll go first." As he spoke, he also walked onto the ice and sat down like the person in front of him, and suddenly a cold air rushed up from his buttocks, and Kevin subconsciously adjusted his sitting posture a few times. Then gritted his teeth and slid forward......

There was no such thing as rushing forward and sliding rapidly, but it couldn't move,......

"Oh no, your ass is frozen!" Kevin shouted subconsciously.

Everyone: "......"

"I'll help you. One of the attendants tried to step forward.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll do it myself. Kevin took a deep breath and burst out with a red fighting spirit, and suddenly felt relieved, and the person also swished down!

There was finally no danger along the way, and it felt so good to be down-to-earth, Kevin wiped his sweat lightly. The people on the side just patted him and signaled that he was doing a good job, and then everyone looked up together and looked at Captain Erwin.

Captain Erwen smiled: "I'm older, not better than a young man, so let me take a boat down." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Bright waited for a moment, but he could only mobilize the authority, exchange the ice back to the current, and let him slowly come down alone. Everyone looked at each other, and when they turned to the head of the empire, they were all smiling. Bright even apologized, saying that he didn't think about the old man or something. Head Irvin said it was okay.

In the director's department, everyone casually found a stool to sit down, without decoration, like a small pengzi built casually. Soon an entourage came, poured a glass of water for everyone, and handed over the program list.

Kevin also took one and read it carefully. The list is very sketchy, and apart from the most basic list of programs, there is nothing wrong with it. And the show is nothing more than a cabaret show, a magic show and some small stage plays, just looking at the name is mediocre.

On the side, Bright has already begun to introduce: "There are still 10 minutes to go, and our last rehearsal is about to begin, this time the whole process is going through about 4 hours." If something goes wrong along the way, you can do a little final remedy. ”

"When the time comes, the sky will pull out the magic curtain, which is a lot better than your simple magic shield that time," Bright smiled at Kevin, "We directly flattened a large cloud in the sky with an airship, used the clouds as a magic curtain, and then reflected the image onto the clouds through powerful light spells and a large number of magic shield lenses." ”

The Imperial Leader was shocked: "What kind of light spell can hit the clouds? Is it the forbidden spell level?"

Even Kevin was very surprised, he thought that he was just making a larger magic shield hanging in the air, but he really didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

"You should know that our country doesn't have a forbidden spell-level light mage, and it won't be similar to spells," Brett smiled, "but as long as there are enough people, it can meet similar requirements in terms of numbers." ”

The Imperial Leader was still in a state of shock, shaking his head in disbelief. Kevin whispered on the side, "So, what about other cities?"

"No way," Bright shook his head, "we tried to use the city circle to transmit light images, but the light images were greatly attenuated over long distances. Even if you light it halfway, the image will only become whiter and whiter, and it will not be usable. In addition, sound is also a problem, and at present, it can only be spread throughout the city using the wind system sound transmission technique. However, the sound speed problem, not to mention the outer city, is located on the periphery of the city, which will also cause the sound to lag behind the picture, and the sound and picture are out of sync. ”

"So we can only open the teleportation array for free at that time, and if you want to come and see it, come for free, just stand on the street and look up. If you don't want to come, then squat at home. Bright smiled casually.

While talking, someone on the platform began to shout: "The others go down, prepare for the rehearsal, the first group is ready, and the host starts to ......"

Bursts of familiar and festive melodies began to echo through the valley, and as the other actors stepped off the stage, several flamboyantly dressed presenters walked to the middle of the platform. The airship began to operate, the clouds were indeed like a curtain, and the surrounding light system magic elements suddenly increased, and the eight magic towers suddenly emitted a shining white light, forming complex patterns, and finally soared into the sky.

Kevin and the others hurriedly walked out of the director's room, looked up at the sky, and saw a huge cloud projection. Amazingly, the presenters are standing upright on the stage, and the projection of the clouds is indeed their front, not overhead. Kevin turned his head to observe, and saw that all kinds of magic shields of all sizes were suspended around the host, and there were many mages floating in the air on the magic tower, where to control the permission in hand.

"We can choose the best angle for the projection," Bright explains, "and we can even zoom in for a close-up, or we can zoom out to see the panorama." ”

Everyone nodded in admiration, and Captain Erwin stretched out his hand and gestured in the air, as if estimating the height of the clouds. But he didn't ask, and they didn't answer him.

After a while, the host had finished his opening remarks, and in a burst of applause, the first group of performances appeared on the stage, a dance called "All Living Beings Dance Together".

First of all, the stage is filled with water, and in the splashing of the water, fish are churning in it, and sometimes jumping out of the water to the music. In another moment, a piece of land gradually rises in the middle of the stage, and various trees begin to grow on the land, and the land continues to expand, the water splashes disappear, and the entire stage is transformed into a forest.

The music also changed abruptly, from simulating the surging sound of ocean waves to the quiet chirping of insects and birds. In a moment, many monkeys jumped out of the jungle, happily swinging around, and parrots also flew out of the treetops, hovering in the air into various patterns.

Suddenly, I thought that the girl in blue flew out of the forest, gorgeously dressed, shiny, with a long skirt, dragged from the air to the ground, and visually measured at least twice her height. The music is changing, starting from quiet to becoming more exciting, and the girl's movements are moving from slow to open.

As her hands shook, the water flowed in the air, weaving into a beautiful picture, the fish were jumping and swimming in the current, the parrot continued to fly in the current, the rhythm of the music was fast, the girl began to spin in circles crazily, and the eight-meter skirt was turned like an umbrella cover, revealing her white thighs.

Suddenly, the music slowed down. The girl also stopped abruptly, her hands opened, a pair of white wings actually grew on her back, and countless white feathers slowly floated down in the air, and the girl bowed slightly to the front, marking the end of the first program.

There was a round of applause around, this link was indeed very good, and Kevin was also very amazed. Combining magic and dance music completely, Kevin didn't dare to comment on it, but at least he hadn't seen it, and I believe that the vast majority of civilians in Lou Baole Country had never seen it, and there was absolutely no problem with such a performance as the Spring Festival Gala.

The stage was cleaned up for a while, and it was water, soil and trees, if the average person cleared it for at least half a day, but there were too many masters here, and almost in the blink of an eye, the stage was restored.

The host took the stage: "Wonderful and graceful dancing, this is a praise for life." A gorgeous melodious melody, this is the desire for coexistence. ”

Host No. 2 answered: "At this moment, the fish is jumping, the parrot is calling, the monkey is chirping, the monkey is chirping......"

"Hahaha......" The hosts burst into laughter. Then after a period of idle chatter, the second show finally took the stage, a magic show called "Rebuilding the Great Country".

An old man with a white beard walked up to the stage with five magic apprentices, all empty-handed and wearing ordinary magic robes. First of all, he stretched out his hand to show everyone, indicating that he didn't have any auxiliary equipment, no space rings or anything like that.

"This one seems to be ......" Kevin looked familiar, as if he had seen his illustrations in some books.

"The first architect in China, the Great Magister, the urban circle is from his handwriting, and the title of 'infrastructure madman' originally described him. Bright replied.

"Oh, who is that usually used to describe it now?" said Captain Erwin casually.

Bright smiled: "It refers to all people who are engaged in the construction industry in China. ”

As he spoke, the mages on the stage raised their hands and waved, and a hundred-meter-high earthen wall suddenly stood up. The Grand Magus flew straight into the air and quickly carved it into the sky with his fingers, while the five apprentices crouched on the ground and began to make small things.

The camera zooms in, and the apprentices seem to be doing small trees, small houses, etc., only the size of their thumbs, and the extremely thin wind blades in their hands cut back and forth, and a small template has been formed in just a few seconds. The materials used seem to be all clay.

Looking at the earthen wall again, the archmage sketched vertically and horizontally with his fingers, and in an instant, a comical map of the country was formed. Then pinch up the high terrain, press down on the low terrain, and press down all the deep pits where there is water and lakes. Fingers go up and down, flying left and right, almost dazzling.

Five minutes later, the apprentices had built a large pile of small templates, all of which were grouped together. The archmage raised his hand and waved, and the templates flew in the air, sticking to the corresponding positions one by one. Outline the road, outline the key facilities, the house has doors and windows, and the green trees have branches.

Of course, anyone with a little common sense can see that if you want to talk about precise proportions, it is obviously wrong. If the land was 100 meters, then the house should be more than five times smaller, and nowadays a house the size of a thumb can only be an artistic display, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible to be too detailed.

But even a work of art is already staggering. At some point, the music began to play in tandem with their movements, and their busy movements, and the constant night map had become an art in itself.

Kevin subconsciously touched the top of his head, but unfortunately he forgot to bring his hat today and couldn't express his expression.

In 10 minutes, the map was finally completed, with mountains, rocks, trees, houses, roads, and everything. It's a pity that it's all made of mud, and the whole thing looks earthy yellow.

However, the performance was not over, and the four apprentices raised their hands, and the flames in their hands were released, and they were fired against the earthen wall from top to bottom and from left to right. The whole map seems to be painted, and with each passing one, a color appears, and it comes to life in an instant.

Obviously, the mud contains some kind of ore element, some of which turn white after burning, some turn green, and some red, which are all classified accordingly when making the template. At this time, the color seems to be awakened by the whole, and the surface has a layer of ceramic reflection.

Finally, with a wave of his hand, the Archmage poured water into the rivers, lakes and seas on the map. With the final notes of the music, the entire map is finally completed. The 100-meter-high color map is so magnificent. Several mages bowed to everyone.

Then turn around and smash the map to pieces.

"It's nothing, it's a dress rehearsal now, and we're going to have to make another one then, and these artworks can't flow out too much. The Archmagus waved at the crowd and turned to leave.
