Chapter 342 (1/2)
December 1st, early morning.
In the core area only a mile away from Hydra palace, an old-fashioned four wheeled carriage drove out from the back door of the Embassy of ice sea kingdom in Deron Empire and passed through a street lane.
The municipal departments of the capital were very diligent. In the early morning, they organized a large number of workers and volunteers to shovel snow.
The thick snow was transported away by trucks, and a thin layer of sea salt particles was scattered on the newly cleared streets. The wooden shovels rubbed against the road surface, making a ”crack” sound.
The carriage galloped all the way from the east of the palace to the south.
In the cold wind, an iron shield sign swayed left and right in the wind. On the sign several feet in size, a red parrot with gorgeous feathers was also covered with a thin layer of frost, which made it look more and more withered.
The Red Parrot theater, which is a famous folk theater in the last ten years.
The carriage went round the main entrance of the theatre and down an alley to the back door. A man in a bowler hat, a short cloak and a walking stick jumped out of the carriage, pushed the back door and went straight in.
It's freezing outside, but it's warm inside. Metal pipes connect to the boiler. The high-temperature steam easily warms the huge theater, which can accommodate thousands of audience.
On the stage of the theatre, Verona, wearing a thin dress, is singing with a blonde man and rehearsing a new play.
More than a dozen writers, directors, costumers, props and other characters, they stand on the edge of the stage seriously, watching Verona and the golden haired man's performance seriously.
Dozens of supporting dancers and supporting actors were also wearing thin clothes and panting on the stage. They had just finished a fierce group dance. Many people were sweating and tired in their eyes.
It's December. With the New Year approaching, the major theaters in the capital of the emperor are about to enter a period of fierce confluence. Every theater is carefully prepared, every troupe is preparing new plays, and countless actors and actresses are struggling in secret.
During the new year's celebration, a blockbuster new play is enough to make an unknown little actor famous, become a big star sought after by everyone, and even join the upper class. As a result, the directors, writers and so on of the troupe also gained fame and fortune. From then on, carp leaped into the dragon's gate and became the influential figures in the performing arts circles of the imperial capital.
Verona has a good temperament and beautiful appearance. Her voice is graceful and crisp like the skylark on the grassland, and her singing skill is strong. Her beautiful singing is like a sweet spring water, which is poured into people's heart, making people feel happy and sweet inexplicably.
Compared with Verona, the blonde man she was working with was a little weaker in singing.
It's not that his singing skill is bad, but Verona's singing skill is so excellent that when they sing together, Verona is obviously better than him.
This feeling is like a perfect picture, suddenly a few more withered branches and leaves, let people feel uncomfortable in the bottom of my heart.
”BAM, BAM, BAM,” the original composition of the troupe slapped his thigh with music score. He gave Verona a thumb: ”Verona, perfect, perfect That's what I want, exactly what I want You are perfect. You can't be better than you. ”
After praising Veronica wildly, the composer with disordered hair looked fiercely at the blonde: ”but you, Jackson, what the hell are you singing about? It's insulting your work Asshole... ”
The composer's mad rebuke of the blonde man.
The blonde, with his pathetic hands on his chest, whispered to the composer. One side of the company director, screenwriter and others, also together, in a low voice to discuss what.
Verona took a breath, went to the edge of the stage, grabbed a water glass and drank two mouthfuls of water.
”Verona.” Behind the curtain on one side of the stage came a low cry. Verona was a little stunned, her eyes quickly swept over the curtain, and then her eyes suddenly brightened.
As light as a deer, Veronica ran behind the curtain, and then she opened her arms and warmly hugged the man standing in the shadow of the curtain: ”master, you have left the kingdom of Durham and returned to the kingdom of ice sea? Why are you here? ”
Sherlock, the mentor of Verona and Joe, the swordsman of Al's organization, and the Royal special adviser of ice sea Kingdom, shook his head and shrugged his shoulders: ”Oh, I'm so busy Bad luck
Shaking his head, Sherlock looked at the stage: ”are you free? Maybe this time, I need your help. ”
Verona frowned and looked back at the blonde man being lectured on the stage, and the group of high-level troupes whose faces were seriously discussing something.
Her ruddy mouth curled slightly, and Verona said indifferently, ”ah, they may be very busy, but in fact, I have nothing to do If it wasn't for the drag of this blonde fool, this new play would have no difficulty for me
With a sly squint in her eyes, Verona said playfully, ”although that's true, this new play is of great importance What do you say? You need my help? Well, you know, I recently Money is tight This new play is going to be staged in the new year's schedule. If it fails, ah, the northwest wind is not delicious. ”Sherlock took out a thick roll of bank notes and handed it to Verona. He said in a deep voice, ”don't worry about the cost and the reward after the event. This time, it's for the royal family of the ice sea Kingdom, with good funds and good remuneration.”
