Chapter 378 - THE AMPHITHEATER (1/2)

”THAT elf, Alen, must have known Lhoris pretty well. He probably also knows were Lhoris went after he resigned,” Luo Yan said, remembering what that NPC said about that Alen and Lhoris arguing and the elf shouting words like 'can't leave', 'crazy', and 'dragon'.

The elf wouldn't shout things like that if he didn't. He was most likely stopping Lhoris from leaving here. Luo Yan had a feeling that all they needed now was to talk to that elf and they could get the information they needed – the location where Lhoris was now. That would mean that after that, he and Shen Ji Yun could just go around and play in the amus.e.m.e.nt park for the remainder of the afternoon.

”Yan Yan, if that elf could tell us where Lhoris is, can we…” Shen Ji Yun paused, the big rabbit mascot suit fidgeting as if he didn't know how to proceed next. And then, as if gaining confidence, he raised his rabbit head and turned to Luo Yan. ”Can we still stay here and go around the place?”

Luo Yan smiled, although it couldn't be seen because of the mask, it was still reflected on his eyes which bent into crescents. ”I was actually thinking of that too. Of course, we will stay. It would be such a huge waste for these VIP bracelets. And besides, I still haven't had enough fun yet.”

Shen Ji Yun couldn't help smiling. ”That's good.”

The two proceeded to the amphitheater area on horseback. When they arrived, they quickly got off their horses and tied it to the parking space provided.

Luo Yan raised his head and looked at the amphitheater in front of him. It's not that huge, maybe it could only hold about 1000 audience. But its design totally made up for it. It looked almost like a mini-version of the Colosseum in Rome. Of course, minus the destroyed part.

He was once again proven how the designers put a lot of effort into the design of this game.

There was a virtual billboard floating on the side, showing the stage plays that would be performed and the time they would be shown. Luo Yan saw that the next play would be shown 15 minutes later. He was relieved when he saw that. Because that meant that they didn't need to wait until the play finished before they could look for that elf, Alen.

The play that would be performed in 15 minutes was 'Mid-Summer Night's Dream'. If he remembered correctly, it was a play written by William Shakespeare. He hadn't really been interested in Western literature. So, Luo Yan had no idea what the play was about.

But based on the poster shown on the billboard, it was most likely fantasy set in ancient times. Because there were people, no, they're probably NPCs, wearing ancient European dresses. There were also elves, no, were they fairies? He shook his head. Not that it mattered. What they needed to do now was to look for that Alen.

He glanced at Shen Ji Yun and saw that the rabbit was staring intently at the billboard. ”Is Brother Ji Yun familiar with this play?”

Shen Ji Yun took away his gaze from the billboard and turned to Luo Yan. ”A bit. It's a play consisting of four interconnecting plots that were connected by the wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazon queen, Hippolyta. The group of people involved in these plots found themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies.”

That didn't sound like just a 'bit' – Luo Yan thought. ”Have you seen the play in real life?”

”Yes. A long time ago. My mother… she liked to watch plays. She especially favored those written by Shakespeare.”

Shen Ji Yun said it in a nostalgic yet very sad tone. Even though Luo Yan couldn't see his face, he knew that he must be feeling really down right now. He also noticed the word he used was 'liked' instead of 'likes'. As if it was all in the past. Remembering something like that must be really hard for him.

Luo Yan didn't want him to be in such a mood, so he quickly hugged the other's rabbit arm. ”Brother Ji Yun, let's go inside and look for that Alen.”
