343 I Have a Long... Pillar (1/2)
Watching the nobles leave in frustration, the players of the Vienna Opera Company smiled triumphantly, but before long, they all sighed in disappointment.
They were here to perform. Since Roland had built such a great open-air opera house for them, they had intended to give a great performance, but now this incident had occurred.
Looking at her crew, Britney sighed and said, ”Let's pack up and move on to the next city. If they're unwilling to rejoice with the people, so be it.”
Britney had a high prestige in the group, and other people had no objection to her decision. They simply put their items in the system Backpack.
The advantage of players was that they could carry almost everything with them without worrying about packing.
Looking at Britney, Roland said, ”Then we'll go back to the city.”
”Sorry. I thought that you could appreciate the performance too. You even helped us build an open-air opera house. This is not what I expected.” Britney seemed embarrassed.
”That's fine.” Roland waved his hand.
”Right. Won't you tear this thing down?” Britney stomped on the stone floor and said, ”After we're gone, this place will only be confiscated by the nobles, and the civilians won't have access to the opera house at all.”
Roland thought for a moment and said, ”Fair enough. I'll tear it down after you're gone.”
Britney smiled and took a deep breath, before she left to appease and organize her teammates.
With Andonara and Vivian, Roland left the open-air opera house and waited under the shade not far away.
The sunlight leaked in from the gaps among the leaves, leaving spots of light flashing on them.
Roland suddenly had an idea.
Very soon, Britney returned with the group and said to Roland, ”We're leaving now. Thank you again, and let's meet again in reality if we have a chance.”
”Let's talk about that later.” Scratching his chin and staring at the opera house, Roland was deep in thought. ”I just had an immature idea.”
Britney looked at him in surprise.
”Are you scared of heights?”
”Not in this game, I think.”
”What do you say if I create a pillar of a stage a hundred meters tall?”
”If it's too high, none of the audience down below can see or hear us, can they?”
Roland thought for a moment and said, ”There's nothing I can do about visuals, but I know a spell that can amplify your voices throughout the city.”
After a brief shock, Britney asked in excitement with glittering eyes. ”You can really do that?”
”I can try.”
”Thank you for your trouble.” Britney took a deep breath and said, ”We'll pay you this time. We can't ask for your favor without giving you anything in return all the time. We don't have much money, but we can gather several dozen gold coins. I hope they're not too few.”
”Okay, no problem.”
Britney immediately ran back to her crew and informed them of Roland's decision. Soon, everybody got excited.
Then, they waited thirty meters away from the opera house.
Roland, on the other hand, took the Mind-Calming Necklace out of the system Backpack and put it on.
At this point, the Mind-Calming Necklace had been fully charged and was emitting blue light.
