goddess of revolution

Chapter 64 War and True Love

The temple of the God of Music was already very spacious, and the nobles with their families kept pouring in, and it quickly became crowded.The scallop-shaped staircase hall is crowded with people and extremely noisy.

"If it wasn't for Aurora's sake, I wouldn't have attended this kind of party. It's still chaotic like a market in the capital. Do I have to stay in the same hall with those viscounts, barons, or even jazz? I It doesn't matter if the individual is very close to the people, but the honor of the Plantia family..."

In the luxurious box at the back of the hall, the chubby Duke of Plantia frowned and complained to Mordwin, the priest of the goddess of literature and art, who was also one of the initiators of the party.

Mordwin said respectfully: "Duke, the situation is special now. Her Royal Highness has repeatedly called for everyone to unite, and we must also show some gestures. You see, Aurora has wronged herself to act in a phantom drama, and I am also very honored to perform on the same stage with her..."

The Duke's daughter interrupted: "Issus, you also played the role? Which one? Charles, Frank, Ashley? Don't tell me you played Rhett, that's really funny."

The corners of Mordwin's mouth twitched, and his smile did not change: "Ariel, you will know later, just to remind you, the feeling of reading a novel is very different from reading a mirage."

"How can such superficial things as illusions compare with deep and elegant music and words? But everyone knows Aurora's situation, and it's quite difficult for her. She should be given this face."

The duchess, who hails from a noble family in a neighboring kingdom, has, like her daughter, recently become enamored of a series of novels published by the Church of the Arts, including Gone with the Wind.

"Ma'am, I'm so glad you can say that, but this vision is not the kind of thing that amuses children in the past. You have read the book, and you must be looking forward to this book becoming a more vivid image. By the way In a word, this is jointly prepared by our Art, Music and Elegant Church, as well as the Crimson Church."

Mordwin spared no effort in publicizing. Unlike the countess' anxiety about this "vision meeting", his anxiety was more focused on whether the role he played could be recognized.

"Father, it's rare for you to accompany us out for activities, so just sit quietly. We don't dislike you, why are you complaining?"

The Duke's daughter reprimanded her father, and said expectantly: "Since it's the same story, the illusion should be able to show the spirit of the red lady more intensely, and make people more intoxicated."

"It's just a mirage..."

The Duke muttered contemptuously, and then changed his words under the Duchess' sharp eyes: "The box ticket of a hundred gold bushels is not cheap, it cannot be wasted."

The lights of the hall dimmed, and the priests of the God of Music began to play soothing music.Hundreds of nobles and their families suddenly fell silent. They have participated in many music sacrifices, and their qualities as audiences are quite good.

A huge curtain descended in front of the hall, and the magic circle hanging from the ceiling shone brightly, projecting gorgeous images on the curtain.

The Duke muttered: "It's still flat..."

Several divine emblems flashed on the curtain one after another, and the final golden smiling five-pointed star was completely different from the elegant, literary, and musical churches before, but Ariel still slapped her mother. The lady's divine emblem, there are such signs on several recent novels.

Then a shield surrounded by stars appeared, and a lion's head groaned in the middle, which made people a little confused.The text below is "Otini Films", which should be the logo of the workshop that makes the illusion. The name "Otini" seems familiar.

These weird things only lasted for a few seconds, and the images that followed made the audience feel familiar. It was indeed an illusion, but the scale was much larger.

The vast fields, majestic mountains, verdant forests and golden rice fields, the scenery of Hadrang Kingdom is very friendly, but the buildings that appeared later have a strong exotic style.Mixing familiar and unfamiliar painting styles, it firmly grasps the hearts of the audience.

When a girl in a weird costume with big wavy brown hair flowing freely appeared in the picture, there was applause and cheers.

Few people remember the young girl Aurora back then.Unexpectedly, the countess would appear in such a form in the illusion.

The vicissitudes and magnetic voice-over sounded: "A long time ago..."

This voice is very familiar to everyone. The cardinal priest of the goddess of music was used to hearing his hymns before, but he did not expect him to speak in this tone very tastefully.

The story begins with the appearance of the young girl Scarlett, who is an earl's daughter and lives a leisurely life in the earl's territory.In the kingdom where the earl lives, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the nobles abide by their duties. The gods are delighted by this and give them good harvests and happiness every year.

Scarlett fell in love with Ashley, the son of another earl, but they were too young to tolerate and cherish, so they broke up soon.Ashley married Scarlett's best friend, and Scarlett was still in love with Ashley. In order to get revenge, she married her best friend's younger brother.

Unlike the opera the audience is used to, there is no such exaggerated performance.Under the interpretation of the countess and elegant priests, the love and resentment in the story are extremely delicate and vivid. Every gesture is full of life, making people feel that the story is happening around them.

Some details also make people quite novel, such as the half-elven slaves playing an important role in the story.Different from this era, the slaves in the story get along more casually with their masters and have a higher status. There are even half-elf slaves who act as nanny. For example, Scarlett’s half-elf slave Margaret often takes the elder’s The tone scolded Scarlett.

"It happened tens of thousands of years ago, so it must be different from now."

Seeing his father's confused face, the Duke's daughter explained it this way.

Just as everyone was immersed in emotional pain and anticipation, and sighed that Scarlett did not get true love, the story suddenly advanced into a storm.

The war of gods broke out, the gods who blessed the kingdom fell, and the powerful and evil empire invaded massively!

The war between the Kingdom and Youxiang was imminent, and every noble family present had joined the princess' army. Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts tightened.

Scarlett's husband was a knight, and he went into battle, and was soon killed.

When Rhett played by Mordwin appeared on the stage, there was a low chuckle in the hall, and it also caused someone hiding in the corner to pull his hair in pain.

But with the interaction between Brad and Scarlett, the laughter disappeared, and everyone began to sympathize with this infatuated businessman.

Afterwards, the kingdom went unfavorable in war and lost the blessing of the gods, and the whole country fell into the cloud of decay.

In order to maintain the livelihood of the territory, Scarlett had to seduce another nobleman, Frank.The countess performed Scarlett's forced smiles and her pained expression so deeply that many of the family members wept.Not long after, when Frank was killed in battle again, there was a lot of crying.

In the two-hour mirage, the story has ups and downs, and people's moods are constantly changing between joy, anger, sorrow and joy as Scarlett encounters.The servants kept offering tea and snacks to the audience, but not many people cared about eating them.

In the last scene of the illusion, Scarlett lost Rhett's trust, and said with hope in despair: "Home, I want to go back, I will find a way to find him back, after all, tomorrow is another day", the audience Crying like a tide.

In the box, the duke's two arms were pinched by the wife and the daughter, and even a fifth-level knight was so painful that he gasped.

The Duke didn't complain, he was still immersed in the story.He didn't care much about love, but he was deeply touched by the changes that the war brought to the kingdom, the territory, and everyone in the story.

Looking at the time, he said in surprise, "Oh, Huma, it's already late at night!"

The lights go up, the curtain goes up, and Scarlett comes alive.People froze for a while, then applauded vigorously, and many people even shouted "Scarlett!"

The countess came on stage in the costume of the vision, her face flushed with excitement, and she kept saluting to people.

After thanking you, the countess got to the point: "As you all know, the kingdom is facing a war. This is a war imposed on us by the Youxiang court! Her Royal Highness took the initiative to attack and keep the war away from our hometown. Relatives and friends who can go to war , whether they can survive this war safely, no one knows..."

"Since we can't avoid the war, let's fully support Her Royal Highness and win this war as soon as possible!"

She said tearfully: "Don't let Scarlett's tragedy repeat itself in our kingdom!"

"Aurora, we support you!"

"We'll protect you! Any amount of gold bushel! Scarlett!"

"It's not enough to just buy a ticket for such a mirage!"

People responded one after another and cast golden votes of various numbers to the attendants holding the donation boxes.

"Father!"

Seeing that the Duke hadn't moved for a long time, Ariel grabbed her father's waist.

"Are you soliciting donations? Aurora really puts her heart into it. She has used all of these tricks."

The Duke pinched his chin and muttered, thinking non-stop.

The delicate position between the king and the princess, that is, his cousin and niece, made it difficult for him to make a clear statement on the upcoming war, but...

"Teresia is going to be defeated, so we can stay out of it? We have to pay for what we have to pay for. What does the defeated kingdom look like in the play? Maybe our daughter's experience will be worse than Scarlett's!"

The Duchess muttered to the side, and looking at the hall, other nobles were actively donating money, the Duke sighed: "Since Aurora has shown her dignity, we have to show it anyway, and donate 30 gold bushes." Ear it."

………………

In the corner of the backstage, Xiao Longnu's eyes were shining golden light: "They accepted it! They accepted this illusion!"

She pinched Li Qi's arm, and the trembling of excitement spread over: "Twenty boxes are two thousand gold bushels, two hundred VIP seats are six thousand gold bushels, six hundred ordinary seats are six thousand gold bushels, one game is... ...fourteen thousand gold bushels!"

She counted more and more vigorously: "Even if there is only one show every day, a month is forty... 42 gold bushels! A year is... oh, at least several million!"

Li Qi was also a little excited at first, but he was frightened by her blind action, and quickly poured cold water: "This is only the premiere, and the countess is present in person, so there won't be so many people in the future. Besides, the nobles of the kingdom There are so many, we shouldn’t let them come to see this phantom every day.”

"Then make a new one!"

The little dragon girl stared at Li Qi, like a dragon looking at the most precious jewelry: "Aren't there many stories about Lady Scarlet? One by one!"

"This time it's tied to Aurora's donation to have this effect. No matter how much money the nobles have, they can't empty their treasury. It's just for the illusion."

Li Qi comforted the restless little dragon girl: "There will definitely be more filmings in the future, but this kind of luxurious show that is only aimed at the nobles is enough for each film.

"How do I make money later? It's easy, sell Blu-ray... no, sell smaller phantoms, so that they can continue to relive at home."

"You can also build a movie... Well, the hall of illusion, open to all civilians. Don't be disgusted, even if the ticket price is only a silver penny, the accumulation is terrible."

"Of course the most important thing is..."

Li Qi patted Xiaolongnv's hand. This girl's hand strength was too strong, and he couldn't bear it anymore: "The content, that is, the story, is the most important thing. To shoot what people like to watch, it can arouse their sympathy and make them cry. , stories that make them laugh."

Xiao Longnv nodded seriously, she listened.

Probe to look at the demeanor of the countess in the stands, recalling the scene of the countess transformed into Scarlett in her mind, a raging flame ignited in the little dragon girl's heart.

She looked at Li Qi, and the light in her eyes that resembled gold bushes was replaced by a star-like twinkle: "Li Qi, I want to act too!"
