38. Choir of the Holy Maiden
The next morning, at the breakfast table at the Philoen's house, Fisher gracefully forked a piece of fried egg and glanced at the ghostly Rafael next to him.
The devil knows when this guy fell asleep last night, or maybe he didn't sleep all night, but Fisher was already looking at the ceiling with blank eyes when she got up.
"Good morning, everyone, are you satisfied with your breakfast?"
Nana's gentle voice came, and she opened her mouth to look at the dragon girls who were eating, but she didn't expect to startle Rafael next to her.
Nana changed into a goose-yellow dress, and the skin on her face was pink and shiny, which made Rafael look her up and down for a long time, and then she looked away unnaturally, making Nana look at the strange Rafael suspiciously.
"Good times! Ral loves this omelette and milk! ”
"That's good, the city lord has dinner with the children in the other room, come over in a moment, and ask Mr. Fisher to wait."
Fisher nodded, and Nana shook her skirt and left the dining room where they were eating. When she was out, Fisher wiped his mouth and asked Rafael,
"Have you already figured out the tactics of a duel with me tonight?"
"Tactics... Yes? Yes, tactical. Rafael's face turned red, and the tail behind him curled up slightly, and after a few seconds, he seemed to grasp what Fisher was asking, "Of course I thought about it!" You'll find out tonight! ”
Fisher raised an eyebrow, only to catch a glimpse of Philoon coming in through the doorway, carrying a cane and changing his suit into a lighter, lighter brown suit.
"Good morning, Mr. Fisher."
He nodded to the dragons, but didn't speak again because of the language.
"Good morning. Do you have any plans to go out today? ”
"Ah, speaking of which... I was about to invite Mr. Fisher to go around the city today, when I had invited the Holy Choir of St. Nari to come and they promised to come and perform, but only for one day. I've been thinking about a day to arrange a performance, and now that Mr. Fisher is here, I'll schedule it today. ”
"Oh? Is it the choir of the Holy Virgin at the Holy Opera? ”
Fisher was a little surprised, because the Holy Opera House was the best opera house in Saint-Nari, and its guests were often royal and partisan dignitaries, and among the three performing groups, the Holy Choir was known to be the youngest and most beautiful.
Tickets for performances at the Holy Opera House are hard to come by, let alone invite the Holy Maiden Choir to the Southern Continent.
"Exactly."
Filone seemed to want to blink, but the eyelidless eyes in his mask didn't support him in doing such a thing, so he had to smile and skipped it.
"I'm curious how you did it."
"It's not difficult. The church behind the opera house wants to build churches in the southern continent with Kado, but you also know the economic situation of each city, they only allow churches to build in the city but do not provide funds, so the church can only raise money in the western continent, and the prize for the donation is a special choir performance. ”
"Mr. Philorn's financial situation always surprises me."
From the previous deployment of the army, the construction of the city, and the fundraising situation that he inadvertently revealed, Fisher was very curious about where the wealth of Filon came from.
"This is what a believer in the Mother Goddess should do, and it is not an exaggeration to praise the choir... How about you go with me? ”
Fisher laughed,
"Thank you for giving me a glimpse of the choir... Rafael and the others did not understand the Nari language, so they let them rest here. ”
"Haha, okay, then I'll arrange the carriage. Fia.." Philon called the maid over, "Take care of these dragon girls, if you don't understand their words, you can ask Nana." ”
"Yes."
Philoen went out to arrange the carriage, and Fisher walked up to Rafael's side and gently grabbed her hand.
"You... What are you doing? ”
She glanced at Fisher, her gaze a little evasive, and her tail was also kneeling on the side of her legs, at the same angle as the hem of her skirt, except that the scales hidden in her clothes began to fall again.
Fisher silently picked up her cane and carved a ring of sensing magic on her hand, connecting it to her own staff.
"Crush this magic if there's anything... You can use your horns or light up your magic circuit, and I'll be back in no time, you know? ”
Fisher's gaze fell on her, but she hurriedly withdrew her hand, as if she was afraid of being burned by Fisher's hand, and then responded,
"I see, I'll be optimistic about Lahr and them... Remember the duel at night, I'll give it my all this time, you'd better be careful. ”
Fisher nodded, then touched Lal and said as he walked out,
"Treat your battles with all my heart and soul every time, rest assured."
Rafael pursed his lips and touched the magic palm engraved by Fisher with his left hand, the pale magic ring slowly losing its light, but still retaining its warmth.
......
......
The drama theater is outside the city lord's mansion, which does not look too luxurious from the outside, and there are many promotional posters of St. Nari's traditional plays, many of which are romantic dramas, and there are also stories like "The Prince's Revenge". Fisher noticed that the price of the ticket was certainly much cheaper than that of Saint-Nari.
All citizens can buy it, and the latest comedy layout column also reads "Tickets for the Holy Choir for 300 euros each, please bring your identification to buy".
Fisher glanced at the citizens lining up to enter and joked to Philorn,
"An exclusive performance by the Choir of the Holy Maiden, how could someone share this opportunity with others?"
Although the performance of the choir of the Holy Maiden did not say that it could not be shared with the public by him, the repertoire watched by ordinary nobles or princes was the choice of most people, after all, the opportunity was precious, and the ticket price of 300 euros was given to the citizens for nothing in Fisher's opinion.
"Haha, the repertoire is for people to see, and watching them together won't cause us to not see it, since it doesn't affect it, why not let them have the opportunity to enjoy it together?"
The mask on Philoen's face beside him obscured his expression, and only the kind magnetic voice could be conveyed through the spilling steam.
"That's true... Isn't Miss Nana coming? ”
"Ah, she," Philorn tapped the mask on his face, looking a little distressed, "it seems that Mr. Fisher knows about my relationship with her. ”
Fisher didn't say that you were too loud last night, as if you were there, but nodded in acquiescence.
"When I met Nana, her horn was cut off and fell like a dead man in the wilderness, and the horns of the cattle race are very important to them, Mr. Fisher should understand that, right?"
"Hmm."
"But I saw the desire to live in her eyes, and it was she who made me see the power of life, and it touched me deeply. In the days that followed, she also helped me a lot... As grateful as I am for her, she is an invisible subhuman in the eyes of most humans, and she knows this herself, so she hasn't stepped out of my inner city mansion in a long time. ”
"By the way, I forgot to ask Mr. Fisher, what is the point of you taking these dragon races? If I'm not mistaken, the slave mark on that red dragonman has been removed, right? ”
In Filoon's presence, Fisher could no longer deceive him with the reasons he studied. Rafael didn't know much about the Slave Mark, so he listened to Fisher's nonsense that he bought her for research, and only Fisher himself knew the real purpose.
"Although she is very naughty, it is undeniable that from the perspective of human aesthetics, Rafael is indeed a beautiful girl..."
Fisher looked out the window and lied, wrapping up his assassination agreement with Rafael and telling it to Philorn. From Philoon's point of view, Fisher was a Nari gentleman who fell in love with this wild dragon maiden, but was distressed by her stubborn and wild character, and wanted to make her quiet and obedient in this way.
"I see... So tonight, she's going to have a third duel with you? Interesting, there's a drill ground in the inner city where I tested the steam engine, and I can lend it to you tonight... But I still have to remind Mr. Fisher that dragons are born warriors, and don't lose your life because of this kind of thing. ”
"Thanks for worrying, I'll be careful."
Fisher laughed, thanking Philoen for the reminder.
At this point in the conversation, most of the citizens who had bought tickets for the performance of the Holy Choir had already entered, and Philoen and Fisher were waiting at the door for the people of the Holy Choir to come, they had just arrived in the city of Philoen a few days ago, and they had to continue their journey south after the performance.
"Mr. Fisher, here they are."
Philon pointed in the direction of the distant street, and at the end of the road stood two knights in silver-white armor with halberds in their arms, and behind them were three richly decorated carriages.
Fisher glanced at the glow of silver magic on the knight's body, and the dense white rings on his weapon, which anyone knew in Saint Nari were not to be trifled with.
They were Templars of the Church.
"They are responsible for the safety of the Holy Virgen Choir in the Southern Continent this time... If it weren't for the Southern Continent, the Church would not have been willing to move two Templars. ”
Filone got out of the carriage with his cane, and Fisher got out of the carriage with him.
"It's true that the Southern Continent is not very safe, and the church's fears are correct.
The carriage in the distance stopped at the entrance of the theater, and after the two knights looked at each other, they moved out of the way, revealing the girls who were disembarking behind them.
The woman at the head could not be called a girl, she was a little older, dressed in a pure black church gown, and after bowing to Fisher and Philorn, she said with a blank face,
"Again, Mr. Philorn, do you want to put on a show here and share the choir's performance with these... Townspeople? ”
It seems that the Holy Virgen Choir was not satisfied with performing in front of the common people.
"I'm sure, Priest Coffee."
After receiving Philon's nod, the Coffee Rain Priest did not say anything, but only ordered the girl behind him to get out of the car quickly.
The girls in the choir were all young girls under the age of eighteen, all dressed in creamy gauze dresses and wearing a golden ceremonial crown on their foreheads, all of whom looked elegant and holy.
They got out of the car and saluted Fisher, and then followed the knight into the theater. But when it came to the last girl, the girl secretly winked at Fisher, attracting Fisher's attention.
I saw that under the young golden crown, the beautiful face of the black-haired girl looked at Fisher with a smile and a reminder.
"Teacher, do you remember me?"
"You..."
Fisher also felt that the girl in front of him was quite familiar, especially the special title, which reminded him of his time as a tutor in St. Nari
"Mirika!"
Just as Fisher was about to speak, the black-robed Coffee Rain Priest behind him spoke to the girl, interrupting her next words.
The girl, known as Mirika, stuck out her tongue at Fisher, and then whispered quickly,
"Teacher Fisher, goodbye to our Saint-Nari..."
In the next second, her expression changed to the same devotion as the other girls, and she followed them into the theater without saying a word.
