Goddess Wanhua Mirror

"Well, thank you for your hard work, take a good rest."

Hearing Lude's praise, the little nun showed a naive smile on her face, put down the tools and ran to wash her face, then ran back in a hurry, and squatted next to Lude to watch him pinch his hands.

Since the last time the conflict was reconciled, everyone in the temple can clearly feel that Aina has become more clingy to the priest than before, following her around like a follower every day, so that she has no ambiguity in what she does.

And this undoubtedly gave Shanis a great sense of crisis, because after Aina became diligent, she has now become the most useless slacker in the whole family, and she feels that her status is also falling unconsciously one.

Soon, Lude finished the clay sculpture at hand, which was Atropos, the eldest sister who made the three goddesses.

It is worth mentioning that although at the beginning of the design, Lu De did not deliberately want to refer to anyone, and deliberately tried to be original, but the final effect of the clay sculpture is subtly similar to St. Louis in the mobile game ship B.

There are at least seven points of similarity in figure, face and hairstyle.

Lu De looked at the work he had spent two days making. Although the final effect did deviate from his original intention, it was really good-looking, so he couldn't bear to redo it for a while.

"Forget it! Let's do it!"

"Master, are you done? Can I have a look?"

"It looks fine, but don't touch it! The mud is not dry yet."

Gently pushing the clay sculpture dragged on the wooden tray to Aina, the little nun seemed to have found a treasure, her big eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and she stared fiercely at the exquisite clay sculpture beauty in front of her.

It has been nearly ten months since Aina was "born". Lude did not hide the secret of God-making from her, so Aina knew very well how she got here. Lude was both father and mother to her, but There is no blood relationship in the general sense.

After learning that Lude was going to help the dwarves outside the village create new gods, and that she created three gods at once, Aina did not show jealousy, but was actually a kind of curiosity, as if a child hadn't been exposed to the related gods before. Before the knowledge of physical health care, you will be curious about "where did you come from"!

After letting Aina watch it for a while, Lu De carefully moved the finished clay sculpture to a dark place in the backlight of the study.At present, the three goddesses of craftsmanship have not been made public, and less than ten people know about it. Therefore, no beliefs have been collected, and the clay sculptures will not be protected by the power of their beliefs.

"Just wait until next week when the drama will officially start."

In Lude's view, the performance of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe's drama is a grand harvest ceremony of faith. It is the same as the fairy tales he told the villagers before, but in a slightly different way.

Lu De had approached Patriarch Gulig yesterday, hoping to ask him to send someone to help build the open-air opera house needed for the performance.The location was chosen near a mountain depression in the southwest of the village. The semi-circular terrain will form a natural loudspeaker. Many children in the village often go there to play yelling games on weekdays.

However, this performance is not free, and tickets are priced at five copper coins.

The reason why it is not free is mainly because Lu De does not want to develop the habit of "free prostitution" for the local villagers.

It was the same for him to see a doctor before. The consultation fee can be very low, and he can use melons, fruits and vegetables if he doesn't have money. He can't even write an IOU, promising to do something for Lu De after he recovers, but he just can't give it for nothing!

And to be honest, the ticket price for five copper coins is not expensive, and in the eyes of the nobles, it is just a drop in the bucket. The local income level in Songshu Village has increased, and there are not a few people with spare money at home, not to mention the dwarves of the Steel Whip clan. A typical middle class, maybe richer than some knights.

However, considering that the local people's consumption habits have not yet been developed, many people are used to budgeting carefully, so Lu De specially organized some free ticket activities.

First of all, on the school side, all students in the school are given a free ticket, and then in the grocery stores, taverns and other consumption places in the village, under the instruction of Lu De, a promotional activity was launched, and a free ticket was given for the purchase of XX yuan.

The villagers had never seen this kind of routine, and thought that the ticket was given away for free, but in the end they spent a lot more than the ticket price, which made several store owners in the village make a small profit along with it.

In addition, Lude also sent tickets to the heads of various families. For Lude's sake, they will definitely reward them for coming to watch the show, and when they come, the subordinates under their command will also There will definitely be many to follow.

Always under Lu De's series of operations, the first performance of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe alone could attract at least tens of thousands of viewers.

And making money is secondary, the key is the role of publicity.It may be difficult for the audience present to notice that certain "key messages" will be hidden in the wonderful plot and be remembered by them unconsciously, and this is Lu De's real purpose!

End of this chapter

I have to admit that the efficiency of the dwarves is really high. The day after Lu De found Gulig, the design of the opera house was completed on the opposite side.And judging from what they mean, it seems that they don't want to just do a temporary job.

It just so happens that the dwarves are currently building roads, and the by-products are a large number of logs, with thousands of new logs being added every day.If so much wood could be transported to the interior of the kingdom, it would be a considerable fortune, but due to the actual conditions, most of them would have to be piled up in the open space and left to rot in the wind and rain.

Ever since, these woods were quickly utilized.The dwarves first spent a day building a wood drying kiln. They have a unique rune magic drying technology, which can compress the natural drying that would have taken weeks to less than 10 minutes.

The dried wood will then be handed over to dwarven craftsmen who use special tools to cut it into various parts, which is far more efficient than ordinary carpenters.

To be honest, looking at these dwarves using various magical props, Lude felt a subtle sense of disobedience.Logically speaking, dwarves and humans have been living together for more than 300 years, and I have never heard of any racial segregation policies in various countries. However, after such a long time, these advanced technologies of dwarves have not been popularized in human society. It made him feel very unreasonable at one time.

For this doubt, Lude got an answer in a chat with Hamilton later.

There is a concept called "magic affinity" in this world. The higher the affinity, the higher the talent for learning magic.Some races are naturally favored by magic elements, such as the elves, which are hated by dwarves. This race has a very high affinity for magic, and almost all members are born magicians.

In contrast, although the per capita magic affinity of the dwarves is not as high as that of the elves, it is at least one rank higher than that of humans, and this is the fundamental reason why humans cannot widely use dwarf technology.

In the heyday of the dwarves, rune technology prevailed, and a variety of rune magic tools were manufactured.These tools are very powerful, but they require users to have a certain degree of magic affinity.

Because the per capita value is higher than that of humans, these rune magic tools are universal within the dwarves, but not for humans.

Humans who can use these props are not without exception, but almost without exception, they will choose to be a magician instead of a craftsman who can use magic tools. There is a world of difference in social status between the two!

So in the final analysis, it is still related to the social environment.

With the help of the dwarf craftsmen, the open-air opera house was built at an unimaginable speed, but the dwarf designer quickly responded to a problem with Lude, that is, the upper limit of the audience capacity of the opera house, theoretically The maximum value can only hold 2000 people.

It's not that the dwarves can't build such a big building, but that if they really want to build such a big building, then the row of seats at the end of the opera house will be more than 50 meters away from the stage in a straight line. It is impossible to tell whether the actors on the screen are male or female.

Lude said that this is not a big problem, and he has a way to solve it, but the dwarf designer is very suspicious from his professional point of view.

"Master Priest, is this unrealistic? The sound reinforcement equipment is not a problem, we can solve this problem, but what you want to do is a drama, not a concert. The audience in the back row can only hear it loudly, and there will be complaints. Unless ...You can find a group of giants about ten meters tall to act as actors."

"I really can't find an actor who is ten meters tall, but I know a friend who can use illusion magic, and she can make the actor look as big as a giant!"

"Do you know a great magister who can use illusion magic?"

"Yes, at the same level as Hamilton."

"That's no problem, we can also enlarge the stage. As long as you can invite that master to condescend, let alone an opera house with 1 people, even an opera house with 2 people will not be a problem, leave it to us!"

Hearing that Lude had a way to solve the problem that the audience in the back row could not see clearly, the dwarf designer immediately patted his chest and promised that their people could work in three shifts and build an open-air opera house that could accommodate 5000 people within ten days .And they still have the ability to upgrade the opera house later, as long as Master Lu is willing to add money.

In this way, with the efforts of the dwarven craftsmen, the open-air opera house rose from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like building blocks.Adopting pure wooden mortise and tenon structure, the height of the stand is more than 20 meters, and there are [-] rows of seats from top to bottom.

And in order to prove that the stands he built had enough load-bearing capacity and would not collapse when tens of thousands of spectators sat down on them, on the day the opera house was completed, Gulig directly called [-] dwarves to sit on them on the spot. The stands are stable and there is no sign of shaking.

If it's okay to sit on it with the weight of the weight of the dwarves, then there will be no problem if you switch to other races.

"Excellent! My old man!"

"We dwarves call this 'structural resistance'! Let alone [-] dwarves, even if you ask two giant dragons to sit on it, it will never collapse."

"Okay, I'll try it in a few days."

"That's not... um!?"

He vaguely sensed that there seemed to be something wrong in Lude's words just now, but before he could ask, Lude had already stepped around to inspect.

There is one thing to say, the technology of the dwarves is really good, and the completion of the entire opera house has greatly exceeded Lude's initial expectations.The only problem is probably that the open-air structure cannot shelter from wind and rain. In addition, the all-wood structure also has safety hazards such as fire, mold, and insects.

The dwarves have also considered these issues. Gulig took the initiative to recommend a secret dwarf wood paint to Lude. As long as it is evenly applied on the surface of the wood, it can prevent fire, moth and moisture, and greatly extend the service life of the wood.

But this kind of secret wood paint belongs to the category of "upgrade DLC". If Lude wants to use it for his opera house... he has to pay more!

Who the hell said that the dwarves are all simple and honest?

In short, the opera house has been successfully built and will be officially put into use for the first time in four days. Servis's rehearsal is also very good. Lude also brought Aina to watch the rehearsal. The impression after watching it can be said. is pretty good.

"Everyone performed really well, Miss Serves, your troupe members are all very good. I believe that even if Master Shakespeare was present, they would definitely applaud your performance."

"Thank you for your compliment, Lord Priest."

Hearing Lude's praise, all the actors on the stage showed joy, and Sevis was especially happy.Because she has already determined that Luther is Shakespeare, what Luther said just now is recognized by the "original author" in disguise in her ears, which is undoubtedly the highest honor for a drama actor.

End of this chapter

Time flies, and the premiere of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe’s drama is coming. With anticipation, people work as usual during the day, and when the sun goes down, they drag their families with them, take colorful tickets, and go to the huge building in the southwest of the village. the semicircular building.

At Lude's request, the huge fan-shaped stands were painted like a rainbow, so that audiences everywhere could quickly find their seats by comparing the colors of the tickets in their hands.

Some aristocratic knights who had watched dramas and dances found that there was something wrong with the size of this open-air opera house. Both the stands and the stage were obviously surprisingly large.

You should know that the size of the stage in a conventional opera house is particular. Generally, the length will not exceed 20 meters, and the width will not exceed [-] meters. Those in the front row do not need to look up.

But this opera house in front of me is different. The stage area is almost ten times the size of a regular stage. Who knows what is such a big stage for performances?

What's even more outrageous is the grandstand. Even the first row of seats closest to the stage is nearly ten meters away, more than five meters above the ground, and the last row is simply 50 meters away, more than 20 meters above the ground. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the entrance to the seat.

Many knight lords who specially bought the back seats began to regret why they didn't bring the telescope for marching and fighting, while others began to complain that the dwarf designer who built this wonderful opera house had a brain hole.

"This opera house is not prepared for people. I think they probably want to entertain giant dragons to watch the show."

Soon, the complaints of the knights became louder and louder. It was obvious that they wanted to let the dwarves around them hear them on purpose, until the cold-faced Shaluo came over and looked around with a pair of Danfeng eyes that were not angry and majestic. The cheering knights were as docile as chickens, and they returned to their seats and sat down obediently.

Without saying a word, he easily overwhelmed a group of his subordinates. Sha Luo returned to his seat and sat down, with an expression of displeasure still on his face.But the object of his displeasure was not his group of untidy younger brothers, but the hot man sitting on his left--Rodriguez, the eldest son of Duke Ganmaling's family.

Both of them received invitations from Lu De, and Sha Luo himself really likes watching musicals and dramas, so he readily agreed.It turned out that when he arrived, he found that his seat was next to Rodriguez.He wanted to change places, but he couldn't just walk away, as if he was afraid of him.Therefore, he could only cross his legs and hold on with a cold face.

The two were in a stalemate, when a long cry suddenly came from a distance, the sound was not very loud, but it was very clear.

For many people in Songshu Village, this sound is very familiar to them, it is the cry of a giant dragon!

What happened last winter made those who witnessed many events always have very complicated feelings towards the giant dragon.After all, the giant dragon attacked more than a dozen pioneer villages on the northern border at that time. Even though Ned Hogg acted more cautiously because he was afraid of hurting his children, he still caused hundreds of deaths and injuries.

Therefore, at the beginning, the surviving villagers generally felt fear and resentment towards the giant dragon, but later, thanks to the raging dragon that brought them a steady stream of food, the thousands of people who fled to Songshu Village People successfully survived the harsh winter, which is undoubtedly a life-saving grace.

Thanks to Lude's mediation, the villagers learned the truth of the whole incident and understood the dragon's anger, so except for a few people who couldn't let go of their grudges and chose to leave, the remaining villagers chose to reconcile.

The grievances are wiped out, not to mention that they can't beat it!

With the last rays of the setting sun, two black dragons flying side by side landed on the slope east of the opera house.The locals had seen a lot, and all of them were very calm, even the dwarves and knights who saw them so calm also calmed down.

At this time, on the side of the hillside, Lude was leading a group of people to welcome Ned Hogg and his family.As soon as the two huge dragons landed on the ground, the young dragon Kang Na, who was originally held in Aina's arms, broke free and flew out. A cute dragon rushed into her own father's forehead, rubbing against each other very affectionately. go.

So the majestic and majestic male dragon just a second ago turned into a foolish old man with a silly grin, and Tawawa, who couldn't stand it, twitched his tail, and the stupid expression changed a little. convergence.

"Ahem...you two, welcome."

In front of the two giant dragons, Lude greeted with a smile, but Hamilton knew about it a long time ago, so he was not surprised.But the reactions of Ural, the bishop of the God of War religion, and Gulig, the patriarch of the dwarves, were more exciting.Although they had heard some rumors before and knew that Lu De knew the giant dragon, they did not expect to have such a close relationship, and they were relieved to entrust their children to him to take care of.

But what made them most curious was Kang Na's strange-looking young dragon. This little guy had black and white fine fur, a halo on his head, and wings on his back. It was hard to believe that he was a pure-blooded dragon. black dragon.

However, curiosity is nothing but curiosity, the two of them were very cautious and didn't ask any more questions. They knew very well that Lu De must have shown his strength by calling him to meet the dragon together.Ural was glad that he chose alliance instead of hostility, and Gulig was secretly happy, saying that he really found the right helper.

The two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and Lude called Tawawa, hoping to use her dragon illusion magic to provide the necessary "stage special effects" for today's drama.

When Tawawa heard that it was simply an illusion to magnify people, she immediately said that it was a piece of cake and it was easy for her.

In this way, there were five special audiences at the opera house, and the rest of the audience was shocked at first, but soon turned into excitement.Thinking about bragging with your friends in the future, you can call yourself "the person who watched the drama with the dragon", which seems to be very prestigious!

The only person who was uncomfortable was the dwarf designer who boasted in front of Lude back then. The dwarf boy in his 80s was sweating profusely at the moment, for fear that Lude would really let the two giant dragons lie on his design. On the stands of the opera house built, it turned out that he was [-]% slapped in the face.

Fortunately, what he feared the most didn't happen. The two giant dragons squatted on the nearby hillside, but two rampaging young dragons flew to the stand and circled around, but after a while, the female dragon roared angrily. went back.

After a while, the audience at the scene was basically full, and the [-] seats were full.Although there are still quite a few audience members in the back row who doubt whether they can see the performance on the stage clearly, but when they think that they only spent five copper coins, they can get close to the two giant dragons.

The experience alone is worth the price of admission!

End of this chapter

Because of the presence of two giant dragons, even if the couple did not deliberately release the dragon power, all the mosquitoes in the entire open-air opera house disappeared without a trace in a very short period of time, which greatly improved the comfort of the audience .

On the other side of the stage, Sevis and the others were stunned. They would never have thought that the "special audience" Lude mentioned before was not some prominent dignitaries, but a family of black dragons. , In a sense, these few are indeed more powerful than the king.

At this time, the actor who played Romeo came up, and the young man looked a little unhappy.Although he has practiced martial arts, in addition to acting, he also has a part-time job as a guard in the regiment, but this does not mean that he will not be afraid, especially when facing top magical creatures like giant dragons.

"Team leader, is this, this still going on?"

"Act! Of course I will!"

Facing the question from the actors under her, Servis was stunned for a moment, and then answered firmly.

joke!How could such a good opportunity be easily let go!

Giant dragons are indeed terrifying, but think about it differently. Looking at the whole world and even the past and present, is there any performance by a song and dance troupe that can attract a giant dragon to come to watch it?

As long as this matter gets out, it will definitely be an unprecedented big gimmick!

Based on her trust and admiration for Lude, Servis cheered up her troupe members. Today is the day for them to make a comeback. Do your best on stage.

They not only want to impress the audience with their acting skills, but also find a way to make the two dragons cry too!

"Come on! Fight!"

"Oh! Seeing that you are so imposing, I am relieved."

Serves, who was encouraging the morale of the actors under her, heard Lude's voice from behind, and suddenly looked back happily, only to bump into a huge dragon head coming in from the tent door.

There is one thing to say, this faucet is pretty pretty when you look closely, and the giant red eyes are as transparent and clear as flawless gemstones, but the faucet is a faucet after all, and the distance is so close, Sevis immediately realized what cardiopulmonary arrest is. !
