Chapter 176: A Major Change in a Dramatic Performance
In Professor Billy's passionate introduction, melodious music rang out on the stage.
An older witch in an old ceremonial dress stands at the side of the stage, directing a different "classical band" with her wand and letting them play beautiful music.
The band had no musicians other than conductors, only violins and harps that floated in the air and played autonomously, horns played out of thin air, and pianos that moved freely on the ground.
However, I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seems to be some chaotic quarrels mixed in with the melodious music.
"Do we have anyone arguing here?" Xiwen frowned and asked softly. "How did I hear some messy noises?"
"Is there one?" Professor Kettleburn listened sideways for a moment, then nodded approvingly. "Really, the sound of this quarrel seems to be coming from the background."
With that, he glanced worriedly at Professor Billey on the sidelines of the stage.
"Drama is Herbert's favorite thing besides herbs, and the drama he leads should not go wrong at this time of Christmas."
Next to the stage, Professor Billy seemed to hear the backstage fight. His face changed for a moment, and then he hurried to the place where the actor was waiting.
"It's time to play, what the hell are you doing!" Professor Billley's somewhat angry voice came from behind the scenes.
Fortunately, the professor's reprimand still had some effect.
The backstage fell silent, and the actors who played the three witches who were looking for the fountain of good luck - Asha, Armata, and Eltida walked out of the backstage one by one.
The three actors are all senior witches, and after a semester of rehearsals, their acting skills are still quite good, except for Asha and Amata who don't give each other a good face, the performances in other scenes are perfect.
The plot proceeded smoothly, and Professor Billy's expression on the side of the stage seemed to relax, no longer as worried as he had just been.
As the plot of "Fountain of Good Luck" develops, the three witches meet an unlucky knight.
The hapless knight is played by a tall, handsome senior wizard who takes a look at Amata and sees her standing there with a blank face, so he naturally walks over to Asha's side.
"I remember that the unlucky knight was brought into the garden under the Good Luck Spring Mountain by Armata, why didn't Armatta make any moves?" Professor Slughorn watched the hapless knight's movements in confusion and muttered quietly.
Xiwen had also read the story of "Fountain of Good Luck" several times, and he vaguely remembered that the unlucky knight was brought into the garden through a crack in the wall behind the vine because of Armata's carelessness.
On stage, however, Armata stood coldly as if she had completely ignored the hapless knight. Instead, the witch who played Asha affectionately grabbed the arm of the hapless knight and cast a demonstrative look at Armata.
"Eh, does "Fountain of Good Luck" have such a plot?" Xiwen asked in surprise.
"I'm guessing there's something wrong between them......" Professor Slughorn twitched at the corners of his mouth, puzzled.
Xiwen couldn't help but glance at Professor Billy next to the stage, and found that his face was so black that he could drip ink......
The plot on stage continues. No matter what happens between Asha, Armata, and the Unlucky Knight, the other witch, Eltida, is still very dedicated.
She acted out with intense anger and pronounced her lines:
"Only one person can bathe in the fountain of good luck! It's hard enough to pick one of us, and now there's another one! ”
The unlucky knight then put on a frightened face and said his line: "You, are you all witches?" ”
"Well, I don't know magic, I don't have the prowess of fighting and sword dancing, and I don't have any talent that would make non-magicians stand out. I can't beat you guys anyway, I choose to quit! ”
His superb acting skills allowed him to show his inferiority complex and cowardice to the fullest, but Asha's action of holding his arm made these lines unconvincing.
Seeing the unlucky knight perform so hard, Armatta finally looked at him and read her lines fiercely-
"Cowardice!" She scolded. "Draw your sword, knight, and help us get to our destination!"
The trio then walked around the stage without incident, and the scenery on the stage was also changed under the manipulation of Professor Kettleburn.
The three witches and the poor knight boldly entered the enchanted garden.
However, a huge white earthworm coils under the hill. It was blind and bloated.
As the four actors approached, it turned a dirty face to them and uttered the following words: "Prove to me your pain." ”
This huge "earthworm" has a thin body, grayish-white body, and red eyes flashing. The words spoken by "Earthworm Introduction" were dubbed by Professor Kettleburn under the stage.
"No wonder the professor was so excited about this performance that he asked me to stay and watch his performance." Xiwen suddenly realized and said with a smile. "It turns out that he is not only a props group, but also has a line!"
However, Professor Slughorn beside him didn't mean to respond to Xiwen, he just looked at the gray "earthworm" with a solemn face.
And Professor Billy, who was on the side of the stage, even shouted: "This is the fire snake? Watfack, Sylvanus Kettleburn, what kind of earthworm did you give me?! ”
"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"
At the same time, the actors on the stage have also changed!
At the next moment when "Earthworm" appeared, Amata suddenly pulled out her wand from the inside of the costume, and quickly issued a spell to Asha-
"Furnunculus!"
Asha fell to the ground with one ugly pimple after another on her face.
The unlucky knight watched his female companion holding his arm being struck down by someone else's curse, and couldn't help but be angry, and shouted, "You madman, look what you've done!" ”
"What's wrong? Now I know that I am distressed? Amata asked viciously. Do you remember that I was the one who made you feel so distressed before?! ”
"Did you know that I had prepared a Christmas gift for you, and I wanted to surprise you. But when I got to the auditorium, I saw you and her kissing under the mistletoe! ”
"Do you know that when I saw that scene, that feeling can really be called distressing!"
"You're crazy!" The Unlucky Knight also drew his wand and pointed at Armata face to face. "These are not your reasons to attack her at all!"
"It's not helpful to say more." Amata said without showing any weakness, and even used lines from the play. "Cowardice! Use your spell, knight, and show me how good your spellcasting skills have become since you left me! ”
The two soon engaged in a fierce duel.
Another actor, who plays Eltida, stands awkwardly next to the trio. She also took out her wand, but didn't know how to persuade her. So when the two were fighting, she quietly carried Asha's actor off the stage, trying to find the paramedics to break his curse.
"Enough!" Professor Billy shouted in anger and rushed onto the stage, intending to forcibly end the duel between the two.
At this moment, something happened suddenly!
The red light in the gray-white "earthworm" eyes suddenly bloomed!
