Chapter 339 - Who Do They Think They Are? (2/2)
Roland created a gigantic mold with magic first. He then threw soil into the mold and transformed it into mud. After the mold was full, he turned the mud into huge flat rocks.
The magic apprentices, on the other hand, took those rocks and piled them up like a pyramid. After only half a day, a high, smooth platform had been established.
After that, they built a semicircle wall behind the platform based on the mechanism of sound amplification, so that the singer’s voice could be enhanced.
In the end, they began to pave the floor and build the auditorium. They heaped the rocks in a sector on different levels in the structure of a cla.s.sic theater.
But of course… this theater did not have a roof.
The opera house was constructed quite fast under the eyes of many people, who witnessed the rocks being pa.s.sed here and there before a large open-air opera house took shape before their eyes.
For the players, it was only a small opera house. After all, there were too many ma.s.sive buildings in the information age.
But for the locals, it was already a ma.s.sive opera house.
Britney dropped by, only to be surprised. “It’s bigger than planned, isn’t it?”
“I’ve helped you expand the auditorium,” Roland said with a smile. “We have time and we don’t have anything else to do. It’s a good chance for those apprentices to exercise.”
“That’s fine with me,” Britney said with a smile of her own. “Or rather, that’s what I hope.”
Looking at the sky, Roland asked, “How’s your promotion going?”
“Not bad. The whole city should know now.” Britney combed long hair back from her cheeks and said, “I wish that you could be with us all the time. That way, we can have a opera house wherever we go.”
Roland smiled but didn’t say anything.
It wasn’t a problem for him to give them a hand while he was here, but he was not interested in joining the music group.
Britney heaved a disappointed sigh when Roland didn’t reply. Then, she smiled and said, “Thank you for your trouble. I’ll treat you to dinner later.”
“No problem.”
Everybody was excited that the Vienna Opera Company was going to play outside of the city the next day, especially after a ma.s.sive opera house had been established out of thin air.
Vivian and Andonara looked forward to it too.
They were both n.o.bles, and they had always liked music and opera performances.
But an accident happened on the second day.
The city guards had blocked the city gate since morning. Many people were stopped from leaving the city.
Roland went to the city gate with Andonara and the magic apprentices and asked them what was going on.
Seeing Roland’s Mage robes and Andonara’s glamorous clothes, the city guards dared not be violent and told them the truth.
“The mayor asked us to close the city today. Only the n.o.bles and the merchants who paid money can leave.”
“Why?”
“Because… the civilians are not qualified to appreciate a performance together with the lords.”
