Chapter 102: Sophia and Audrey

Midtown is famous for its White Boulevard, home to dozens of theaters, often dubbed the "Palace." Among them, the Magellan Theater is the best among these dozens of theaters, bringing together the most famous actors in the entire Northern Continent and even the Western Continent. And Audrey Ayre, known as the "Nightingale", is the best of these actors.

Her performance is of such high standard that you can imagine.

That is, Strawney has the status of a member of parliament, so he can get two tickets. If Qi Xuansu was alone, then it would be basically impossible to enter the Magellan Theater without using violent means.

The play to be performed tonight at the Theater of Magellan is called The Witcher, a classic that has been popular in the Old World for decades. In the past, in the Old World, chivalric literature was prevalent, knights saved princesses, pledged allegiance to their lovers, and fought duels for love, and the audience of this kind of literature was actually those noble ladies who were high, and even had a certain degree of glorification of the knightly class.

In Oriental parlance, it is spring and snow.

"The Witcher" reverses the tradition of chivalric literature and sets its sights on the lower ribas. The protagonist of the story is no longer a beloved and noble knight, but a feared and hostile witcher, considered a freak, wandering the fringes of society, hunting monsters, getting paid, and living a wandering life.

There are no real knights in the New World, some are just adventurers, gold diggers, and even many people want to earn enough money to return to their hometowns in the Old World, so this kind of "The Witcher" that leans towards the bottom can resonate more and become very popular.

Audrey Al is going to play the daughter of the witcher in the upcoming "The Witcher", a swallow who yearns for freedom. And the whole story is also the process of the witcher looking for his daughter, and the father and daughter each have a large part of the monologue scene, which is a great test of skill.

After so many years, the story of "The Witcher" has long been well known, just like "The Peony Pavilion" in the Oriental world, but the audience still loves it so much, which can be seen that it is for Audrey Ayre's personal charm.

At 7:30 p.m. St. York time, Zy and Strawney walked through the doors of the Magellan Theater. Qi Xuansu's attitude is quite indifferent, he is not obsessed with drama, and he is not even indifferent. The point is that Strawney reveals an important piece of information to him, and the president of the city council will also come to the Magellan Theater to watch Miss Audrey's performance.

Leopold is only a strong contender for the speaker, not the speaker after all, and the real speaker is someone else. This is also a peculiar phenomenon in St. York, where the Speaker is a woman, although female citizens do not have the right to vote. It's like the court in the East, where female members of the royal family also have no right to inherit, but there have been female emperors.

Therefore, the Taoist sect prides itself on civilization, the Taoist sect allows the existence of women's big palms, and also gives female Taoists the right to vote.

When it comes to the highest power, you live or die, but no one talks about any gentlemanly demeanor.

The female speaker of parliament, named Sophia August, was born into an aristocratic family in the Old World, traveled to the countries of the Old World as a child, and later married in the New World, and after her husband's death, she took over the seat of the council.

In a world dominated by men, women are in power and can never avoid men. The female speaker's experience in the ascension is not glamorous, nor is it very shady, and most of them are "routine" operations. Yes, she had the support and approval of the cardinals, and the patriarch did not object. On the other hand, she vigorously cultivated young people, and made very reasonable use of her charm, making these young people her subordinates, the most loyal followers, plus she has the heart and pride of men, so she has a large number of fans, and finally ascended to the throne of the speaker.

It is rumored that Sophia has a number of mistresses, and these mistresses have different identities and statuses, ranging from senior parliamentarians to high magistrates and even cardinals. It was through her mistresses that she weaved a network of power and stabilized her position.

As for why the cardinal is willing to share with other men, it is probably that the cardinal, who is as high as a god, no longer sees people as people, but as a common object, plus the deformed atmosphere of Western aristocrats for a long time, so it doesn't care, it doesn't matter.

The first one doesn't care much about these "little things", just as Lan Dazhen doesn't care about what the Wang family has done. Take yesterday's explosion in the lower city, for example, the Patriarch had no attitude, neither thunderous anger nor high regard, as if it had never happened.

This kind of ecology is completely different from the Daomen, and within the Daomen, there is indeed a situation where the female Taoist priest ascends to the position through her lover, but it is impossible to go to a too high position. Even if it is Du Yuwen, it is not a lover, but a real ceremony to give birth to a son. And the extremely high requirements of the Daomen for morality, also led to this kind of operation is destined to be disgraceful, as long as someone catches a little clue, it is possible to capsize the big boat, the higher the position, the more eyes you look at, and the more difficult it is to hide.

Shi Bingyun, who has been widely criticized, just changed a few more men, at most it is seamless, and before he has several men at the same time, he has already lost his position as a real person, if it is more, I am afraid that he will have to go to the end.

Not to mention, legend has it that Sophia also gave birth to a child for her lover.

In short, as a conservative, Qi Xuansu is extremely disgusted with this decadent and depraved atmosphere. If the Eastern world is a hypocrite, with benevolence and morality on the surface, and male thieves and prostitutes behind the scenes, then the Western world is a real villain, and he doesn't do any superficial work. At the very least, the hypocrites pretend, knowing that they can't see anyone. The real villain doesn't pretend to be, and even puts it on the table publicly.

However, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but wonder what kind of role this speaker was, and what kind of attitude the city council under her leadership had towards the current situation.

Soon after Qi Xuansu and Straoney were seated, another group of people approached, a woman in an evening dress surrounded by the stars and the moon, her hair coiled up, and a sumptuous folding fan in her hand.

Strawney whispered, "That's Speaker August, but she prefers us to call her Speaker Sophia."

Qi Xuansu nodded slightly, just glanced at it, although he could only see the side face, but he could see that the beauty of this speaker was not inferior to Karen, and in terms of temperament, he would be far better than Karen, after all, without some capital, it was impossible to envelop so many ministers under the skirt.

Shortly after the Speaker and his entourage entered, the curtain was lifted on the stage, and Miss Audrey, known as the "Nightingale", finally appeared.

In all fairness, among all the women Qi Xuansu has seen since he set foot in the New World, the most outstanding are Sophia and Audrey.

However, the two are two completely different styles, each with its own merits.

Sophia is more mature, with the grace and elegance of the personality of the Speaker, as well as the majesty of being the Speaker. Audrey is more girly, between her gestures, there is also a girl's liveliness and brightness, innocent, whether it is pretending or nature, it can always arouse men's feelings for the past youth.

If Sophia is like a noblewoman who has come out of an epic, then Audrey is like a girl who has come out of a fairy tale.

I don't know if it's Qi Xuansu's illusion, Audrey seemed to glance at him when she came on stage.

Of course, Qi Xuansu is not the kind of person who often has the illusion of "does she like me", even if he has never eaten it, he has seen it, and he will not be lost because of a woman. He wasn't sure if Audrey had inadvertently glanced at him, or if Audrey had seen through his disguise, and if it was the latter, he would have to be careful.

In fact, Qi Xuansu was most wary of Speaker Sophia, who was able to overwhelm Leopold, and he wanted to cultivate quite well, but he didn't expect that there was nothing abnormal on Sophia's side, but Audrey gave him a "surprise".

Qi Xuansu thought so, he didn't care about the drama, and once again thought about the best retreat route.

The world is big, life is the biggest, as long as you live long enough to live to the end, you can have the last laugh.

On the other side, Xiao Yin is still walking the rivers and lakes, and he has already walked to the territory of an unknown country, anyway, he is following his feelings. Along the way, Xiao Yin has long lost the interest in chivalry, completely let go of himself, and can do whatever he wants.

Don't look at Xiao Yin as a child, but not a fool, the story of Meng's mother's three migrations tells us that the environment has a great impact on children. What kind of environment is Xiao Yin exposed to? In fact, it is the environment of the Daomen, in this environment, no matter how pure a child is, he will learn badly, let alone small

Yin Ben is not pure, she can easily understand that Lao Qi and Lao Zhang are very powerful, so many people come to scold her, she doesn't have to care what others think, as long as she cares about what Lao Qi and Lao Zhang think, this is called power is only responsible for the source of power. Others don't dare to do anything to her, which is called having no fear.

So without the control of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, Xiao Yin really stirred up the wind and rain, turning the Nanyang rivers and lakes upside down, and the order of the Nanyang rivers and lakes is actually the order of the "Heavenly Court", so that the most affected is the "Heavenly Court".

It is also the bad luck of the "Heavenly Court" to meet such a little devil. The people below couldn't help her, and someone had already reported it.

Liu Gui knew Xiao Yin's identity, he wanted to use the Borneo Provincial Government as foreign aid to defeat Wu Guangbi, and he didn't want to offend Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu because of such a trivial matter, so he didn't let his subordinates take care of it. Wu Guangbi has already recovered from his injuries and is having a good time fighting with Liu Gui, and last time he suffered a big loss under the hands of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, so naturally he would not have the same attitude as Liu Gui, so he instructed his subordinates to secretly arrest Xiao Yin.

As for why Wu Guangbi didn't take action in person, he is the number one person in the world, and Shi Bingyun and Qi Niang are the same generation, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are already his juniors, no matter what Xiao Yin's identity was before, now she is a child, almost his grandchildren, he really wants to make a move on such a child, not to mention the problem of offending people, and his reputation is also very bad.
