Chapter 313: The Rose of Dark Red Rust, the Beginning of a New Order
At the end of November,The southern hemisphere is the cool season of early summer,Bright colored ribbons and verdant branches and leaves fluttering in the campus,Edes School Park ushered in a rare centennial celebration,During the crowd of tourists,Many residents are curious to come to this star field of the first school park to visit,The original quiet and spacious school park,Now full of tourists。
"Wow,Is this Edes School Park?,It feels so big~"
Children around 12 years old bounced along the beautiful stone-paved paths, looking at the columns of blue roses around them. There are various small shops and stalls run by students on both sides of the road, some sell greeting cards from the school park, commemorative albums, as well as some small gifts they make themselves, special snacks and so on.
During the festival, there are very few classes, and students are encouraged to start a small business to experience life.
Tourists on the street walked forward with curious eyes swept through the stalls of various small shops, including commemorative badges with blue roses, ceremonial swords embellished with black roses, five uniforms of the school's cooperation with 'Goth dolls', handwritten greeting cards wrapped in dried flowers, small carved pieces made by students, red fruits grown in the school, oak grilled fish from the lake in the school, and a commemorative photo of Heshea in school.
"I want that 'Night Patrol' uniform."
A teenager about 15 years old pointed to the uniform hanging in the store, this set of co-branded clothes is based on frost #e9f1f6, with the sleeve edges, collar and decorative floral decorations of crow blue #424c50, and the wide black sleeves are decorated with white patterns of skulls and roses, which is very dead and mysterious, which makes some young people love it.
"Are you sure you want it, it's better to choose the 'blue sword cloak' next to it, I feel handsome." The father on the side pushed his glasses and said his preferences.
"It's not as good as the 'sunset sonata' that Ti Lan wears, I feel very temperamental, low-key and full of connotation." The teenager's mother suggested this.
"Why don't you buy them all?" The boy raised his hands to indicate that he wanted them all.
"That's not going to work." Both parents replied at the same time, which made the teenager immediately discouraged.
"It's still a 'night tour,' and I like that." As he spoke, he carefully stroked the fabric of the cuffs with good texture.
On the other side of the street, the noise attracts the attention of the surrounding people.
"Do you want to go to the puppet theater to watch a show, my friend just came over there, and the performance inside is said to be very good~"
"Then go ahead." Several people in the group responded with a smile, some of them holding ice cream in their hands, some holding fruit iced tea they had just bought, and roasted snacks and so on.
Along the branch of the flow of people, a fairy-tale miniature pavilion appeared in the lawn clearing, surrounded by makeshift guardrails to separate the outside crowd from the outside world, allowing only a few dozen people to enter at a time.
After waiting in line for more than ten minutes, the group walked into this foreign pavilion with curiosity, the red and white checkered floor, the large clock dial with the hollow wall in the distance, and the classical oil paintings on the side walls all brought people a retro and mysterious atmosphere.
Soon, the silence in the Western-style pavilion was broken, and as the hands of the clock pointed to the center, the bell rang, the door closed, and the room became dark, and then a faint golden halo shone down from above, falling on the dark floor, illuminating a little.
A blonde girl in a gothic trench coat walked out slowly, her stiff heels making a clear sound as they stepped against the floor.
"Welcome to my Doll House, I'm Alice Naranfili."
The intricately dressed girl lifted her skirt and saluted, her legs staggered, and then she stood with her legs folded, and then the sound of a gear winch sounded, and the floor continued to rise, and a small red carpet stage rose, and several lifelike and delicate dolls flew out of the darkness on both sides, some wearing golden wings, some black and red batwings, some dressed in gorgeous clothes, some wearing heavy armor, these figures fought in the air and separated, and then landed on both sides of the stage.
"Today's performance for you is the puppet opera "The Legend of the Song of the Sky and the Scarlet Song Girl". After speaking, the dolls on the stage retreated into the darkness, and then two dolls wearing gorgeous red and blue dresses slowly walked out from both sides of the stage.
Standing in the shadows at the back of the stage, the girl's fingers are raised, and below her, delicate puppets perform a classic and moving opera, a wondrous performance that surprises first-time visitors and then unconsciously immerses themselves in it, slowly forgetting that these are just dolls and substituting them into real history and legends.
Leaving this delicate doll house, in front of the wooden huts in the semi-secluded forest, another branch of the crowded street, crowded with curious tourists.
"Don't worry, everyone has a chance~" The squinting big sister wore a witch's prominent uniform, comforting the tourists in line, and beside her there were several girls wearing similar witch uniforms, some of them were manipulating the divination cards flying and spinning on the table, some were wearing black light veils, slowly stroking the crystal ball in front of them, and some put the finished special potion bottle on the table for sale.
"This 'Colorful Elixir' temporarily changes your hair color and eye pupils to the color of the potion for 6 hours."
"The 'Eye Magic Potion' in my hand can be combined with the finished summoning circle blueprint, and I can summon the Sequence 2 Eye Demon by myself, they are cute and can help you attack and detect for a day."
"There is also a 'pumpkin head potion', which can temporarily turn your head into a pumpkin-like orange color, and then burst into flames, which is very majestic~"
"'Firefly Elixir', as long as you open the cap, you can see the fireflies slowly floating out of the sky, and it is a treasure that creates a romantic atmosphere."
These exchange students of the Three Phases also play their own specialties and operate and promote unique services and products.
On the other side, in the makeshift castle of the school park, several tourists are wearing the cloak and crown of the ancient king, experiencing a short royal experience, and the nearly 100 maids standing on both sides of the hall are unified and neat, they serve the food prepared for these kings, listen to orders, and occasionally there are people who play the role of assassins to rush in, blocking these maids, protecting the king's transfer, and enjoying a kind of role-playing fun.
After a half-circle tour, visitors enter the restaurant in the school park to experience the variety and unique food in the school of Eds School Park, and many people also take photos here.
After a short break at noon, visitors continue along the road, and gradually come to the lake and vast meadow behind the school park, where there are many animals, including the mighty and fierce black lion, the holy white swan swimming in the lake, the chestnut-feathered falcon swooping down from the treetops, and the emerald forest deer running through the meadow.
These extraordinary animals are raised by the Kite Garden,After joint training with the Edus Academy,Many have also been transferred to the Edes School Park with the students,Visitors can pay a little fee to get close to these extraordinary animals,Even sit on the back of the chestnut feather falcon,A short tour overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire campus。
In addition, there are students painting by the lake, a venue for tourists and current students to experience the battle safely, a viewing hall to watch campus documentaries, an archive to visit the school's graduating seniors and glory trophies, and a scene to see the advanced scientific research capabilities of Edders Academy, etc.
At night, tens of thousands of people gathered in the concert hall of Edest Academy, and after they were seated, the lights gradually dimmed, followed by a brief introduction and announcement by the host, and then the show officially began.
A golden halo hit the stage paved on the red carpet, and in the expectant gaze of everyone, a delicate and dreamy figure slowly walked out.
The long hair is neatly combed behind him, smooth and beautiful like satin, the simple blue bow is dotted at the back of the head, and two strands of hair fall in front of him, and then there is the black rose dress with a strong contrast with the snow-white shoulders and neck, the chest is inlaid with magnificent sapphires, then there is the bow ribbon that sets off the gemstones, the skirt of the lower body has black and blue folds on one side, and then there is the violin held up by the girl's hand, the slender fingers pressing the strings with one hand and the bow with the other.
First greeted everyone, and then the much-anticipated girl singer slowly closed her eyes, stood in the only golden halo on the stage, and slowly played the violin.
The melody is full of high-spirited lightness from the beginning, like running in the season of grass and flowers, and the body jumps lightly and spins freely with the wind.
Le quattro stagioni (Four Seasons), the first movement of the concerto Le quattro stagioni (Four Seasons).
When the first section of the melody ends, the tone gradually slows down, and then gradually accumulates emotion and strength, and when the second melody is played, as the bow is played, a circle of lights suddenly lights up on the stage, and a row of students who also hold the violin emerge from the dim shadows, they are uniformly dressed, wearing warm red roses and white dresses, and the bows in their hands are uniform, with an indescribable strength and infectiousness.
Then, when Tilan, who was standing in the center, entered the third stage, another row of violin-holding students appeared in the dim shadows, and they also uniformed their dresses, just like the followers of this young girl, and like one of the ten thousand flowers blooming in spring, showing the power and life of the spring of the four seasons.
The moving melody was played again and again, and each repetition raised the momentum and atmosphere, and rows of violin-wielding students appeared on the stage, so that until the end, nearly a thousand students in red roses and white dresses stood on the stairs and covered the entire stage background.
The vast and unified violin melody played, countless golden halos fluttered on the stage, slowly flying, flooding the entire concert hall, and the cheerful music was like the ocean, the original light music, also became a torrent that swept the world, the golden sea full of life broke through the blockade of the cold winter, and infected everyone on the scene with the vigorous vitality of this spring.
After a long time, after the song was played, there were still many audience members immersed in the lingering melody and could not extricate themselves, until the girl on the stage bent down and bowed in thanks, and the warm applause made everyone wake up like a dream, and then joined in the applause.
After this amazing opening performance, the performances of various opera troupes and music troupes on campus were not as shocking as the opening performance of Tilan, but the gentle rhythm also allowed the audience to relax and enjoy the performance with a light mood.
At the end of the performance, Hesia Tilan, as the student representative, took the stage again, and by this time she had changed into a dress embellished with dark red roses, compared to the usual bright red and delicate roses, the roses on her clothes were like rust, like the maroon precipitate after the blood had dried up. Not all symbols are lined with beauty, and sometimes pain and history need to be remembered.
The dark red roses are still pure, embellished on the parchment-like dress, like faded old photographs, bringing a nostalgic atmosphere, the girl holding the microphone sings softly, and then the light slowly spreads, illuminating the figure around her, and one after another actors and students who have appeared on the stage before, and then joins the soft chorus.
"Keep On" is an old, nostalgic and childlike tune.
There is no distant grand narrative, no incessant lyrics, and there is a slight nostalgia for sadness, which is the sadness of not being able to return to childhood, the farewell to the separated childhood under the sunset, and the waving away to the world in which we lived in the past.
The hundreds of years of decline and stagnation in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain are like this memory with dark red rust, the gray and lonely ruined factory in the memory, the runway that no one uses anymore, the empty classroom that is abandoned and unused, and the one who can't return to his distant hometown.
In this melody of memories and nostalgia, tonight's performance has slowly come to an end, or many years later, people can still see the images recorded tonight in the archives, and feel the nodes of all the changes.
At the end of December,Another winter festival is held on time,In this big competition,Edus School Park launched a new school emblem and logo,Different from the previous blue and black roses with the coat of arms,The new coat of arms,Two roses of dark blue and dark red,There are some verdant leaves between them,The background is a parchment-like shield,Below is a black ribbon,The ribbon is written with the name of Edest's letters。
It was also in this year that the Santa Ingor School announced its closure, and its assets, personnel, students, campuses, etc., will be merged into the Edes Academy, and the two once separate schools are now united again.
However, unlike in the past, the former directors of St. Ingo no longer hold any power, they have been spun off from St. Ingo, and St. Ingo is only left as a campus entity to merge into Edus Academy.
The students who have not yet graduated from St. Ingo are still studying at the St. Ingo campus, but from next year, all new students will start living and studying in the Eds Academy, and the campus of St. Ingo will be gradually converted into the branch area of the Eds School after all students graduate, and the regional modules will be raised and moved to the side of the Eds Academy, and the two campuses will be merged and connected together to become a new large school park.
The past and the new life are reincarnated here, and in the future, Edmus School and the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field will also continue to move forward (keep on).
