Chapter 171
……
As soon as the words fell, four long tables lit up white at the same time, and the empty plates around the turkey suddenly had more exquisite delicacies.
Roasted meat, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, puddings, potatoes, apple pie, syrup cakes, chocolate cakes, sweet donuts...
Of course, there are also indispensable beans!
Dak glanced at the whole pot of beans in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the time when he first entered school, and there was a trace of emotion in his heart.
Fate comes and goes, and fate comes and goes.
…
The piano in the corner of the stage suddenly changed, and the sound of the piano became cheerful, just like the hearts of the students.
With Principal Arte retreating behind the scenes, this banquet began as scheduled.
First of all, of course, it was the customary meal!
Only after eating, can we talk about other things.
The rich and delicious food made people salivate, and the turkeys were cut into pieces by knives and forks, and the strong aroma of chicken wafted in the auditorium.
But the more fragrant one is actually the condiments in the turkey!
Dak let go of his restraint, didn't think too much, and ate freely. Although his "binge eating" increased, it was not much.
After eating half a turkey, his eating speed slowed down, and the "binge eating +1" prompt disappeared.
While drinking juice to help digestion, Dak looked at Diana beside him, occasionally helping her cut bones and meat into small pieces, and pulling the napkin to prevent the dip from getting on her clothes.
The atmosphere in the venue became more and more joyful. At 7:30, a small magic elf with flapping wings suddenly appeared on the stage.
Then a clown in Christmas costume entered the venue with a somersault, which attracted cheers!
The magic circus has begun!
The magic circus for a full half hour pushed the cheerful atmosphere to the extreme.
Dak was immersed in such an atmosphere. In addition to occasionally thinking about the clown's superb skills, he showed his love for circus performances like the public.
It's really good!
After removing all the nonsense, it turns out that fun is the soul of the circus.
At 8 o'clock, as the Christmas clown left the stage, the students who thought that tonight's show was over suddenly found a spring gushing out from the stage!
The clear spring water gushed out from the middle of the stage, forming a mushroom shape that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
A mermaid lady wearing shells and pearls suddenly appeared from the spring water below, and with a flick of her long tail, she leaped to the top of the spring water!
She sat cross-legged on the spring water, and with a light embrace in her hand, an elegant harp appeared!
Then she opened her mouth slightly and sang a long and lingering song.
"It's Miss Xingluo, the mermaid!"
The students in the audience suddenly became agitated!
While Dak was confused, the students around him seemed to have a clearer understanding of this mermaid lady.
He couldn't help but look at Diana.
Diana looked away; "Don't look at me, Diana doesn't know!"
Rose couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "That's the famous mermaid singer Miss Xingluo. Her singing is as moving as a lark, and she is very popular in the kingdom. I didn't expect that Principal Arte would prepare such a surprise!"
Dak: "In this era, singers can already be on stage?"
Rose shook her head: "The rise of musicals has changed a lot, but it is still limited. Miss Xingluo is a rare mermaid, so she can be treated more than human singers."
In the final analysis, the nobility of professions and the importance of men and women are topics that remain unchanged over the times.
In this era approaching the Renaissance, the status of artists has been greatly improved, and women's rights are gradually being protected.
The harsh slavery was decided amid a large number of oppositions, and the workers received wages equivalent to their labor.
But it's still in the early stages.
...
The mermaid singer is not the last surprise.
She just sang a song on the stage, and suddenly a group of swans with snow-white wings spread out flew from the sky, like angels descending on the earth.
The ballet they rehearsed, "Swan Lake", was performed immediately!
Princess Odette, who was picking flowers by the lake, was cast a vicious spell by the vicious devil Rothbart and turned into a beautiful swan.
Only when night falls can the princess temporarily turn back to human form.
Only faithful love can break the evil magic.
Prince Siegfried, who was traveling on Swan Lake, met the princess who was turning into a human form. The beast blood hidden deep in his heart boiled, and he fell in love with the princess (God) (goose) at first sight.
The prince who returned to the castle held a ball to select the future queen. The devil asked his daughter Black Swan to disguise himself as Odette to deceive the prince.
Just as the prince and the black swan were dancing, Odette appeared at the window. She prayed that the prince would remember his oath to her, but the prince was distracted by the devil's spell at this time.
The prince made a vow of love to the black swan at the devil's request - the devil's plot succeeded, and Odette cried out in despair and left.
Suddenly, lightning and thunder roared, and the ballroom was in chaos. The prince woke up in despair, but it was too late. He had promised his love to someone else again.
The deceived prince rushed out to find the real Odette.
...
The last scene.
The prince returned to the Swan Lake and was heartbroken.
The devil created a blizzard to prevent the prince from going to find Odette.
But the prince finally broke through the blizzard and found Odette. However, his infinite love and endless regret could not change the consequences of breaking the promise. The spell could no longer be broken, and the prince and princess were destined to be separated.
The devil showed his hideous face at this time and turned the princess and her companions into swans drifting on the lake.
The angry prince and princess (God) embraced each other, and with the belief that they would rather die than love, they both jumped into the raging waves of the lake.
In an instant, a miracle appeared. Justice defeated evil, and loyal love defeated the evil devil. The magic was broken, the magic cave collapsed, the lake receded, and the swan girls were reborn.
The prince and princess bathed in the glow of the rising sun, and their beautiful life began again.
…
Although there are actually many tragic endings in "Swan Lake", it is obvious that an unreasonable comedy ending is chosen here.
In the face of the so-called "miracle", the powerful devil is also powerless to resist.
But no one cares about these logical loopholes.
The swan girl's acting skills, thunder and lightning, blizzards, and the extremely shocking soundtrack created an unparalleled sense of immersion, leaving the audience with no extra thoughts to think about the details.
This song "Swan Lake" became the most popular program on Christmas Eve.
As the prince and princess snuggled happily together under the lights of the stage, the nine o'clock bell rang quietly without anyone noticing.
The opera ended.
But the prince and princess did not leave the stage, but danced the waltz in the romantic and elegant music.
The students suddenly woke up.
The ball began!
...
Diana looked at Dark eagerly as he stood up.
Dark could only give her an apologetic look.
Rose hugged Diana's arm.
Amid the confused eyes of the surrounding classmates, Dark walked to the middle seat of the School of Magic.
Werther, who was excitedly chatting with Robert about "justice will surely defeat evil", suddenly noticed Dark walking past him, and his expression suddenly stiffened.
An ominous premonition came to his mind.
The sharp perception inherited from the brave made him realize that things might be developing in a direction that was not favorable to him.
He could always sense danger in advance.
Robert beside him also saw the figure of Dark and asked curiously; "Why is Dark going over there? Isn't his dance partner Diana?"
Witt stared at Dark's back and did not answer Robert.
Sitting in their position, he could see a little bit of Pandora's back, which was originally a point that Witt felt a little happy.
But now it has a not so good effect.
He tilted his eyes and saw Pandora standing up from her seat, and then stretched out her slender white jade fingers to the blond and blue-eyed noble boy.
Dark took her hand and lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand.
The soft touch touched the hearts of both parties through the white lace.
The fourth-year students of the surrounding magic school almost showed surprised and frightened eyes at the same time.
Several boys who were eager to invite Pandora to dance but were afraid to do so saw the silver dragon girl accept the invitation of the first-year student, showing a rare touching smile, and walked to the wide stage with the beat of the music.
Many people rubbed their eyes, as if they were in a dream.
It's the fourth year.
In the four years of Christmas dances, the silver dragon girl, who has never been invited to dance, is the boss known as the "iron wall of the dance", so willingly and even slightly actively walks side by side with others and goes on stage.
Tonight, it's really a dream start.
…
Dak, who was holding Pandora's hand and walking to the stage, was surprised by the pain in his back, although he had expected it.
"Is this what is called a thorn in the back? Literally..."
But he didn't know that it was not just the boys who admired the senior who stabbed him.
There were also several girls who secretly encouraged themselves and prepared to take the initiative to invite him to dance when the dance started.
Emma placed her hands on the table, holding her round face with her palms. Through the gap between people, she saw Diana sitting opposite.
The two girls looked at each other in a mysterious way.
Diana's mind moved, and she immediately raised her chest!
She showed an attitude of "I am different from you".
Emma glanced away.
After the last in-class competition, she had some thoughts that she didn't understand. After that, she asked the senior sister and was dressed up as a Barbie doll.
But it seems difficult to find rewards for the efforts made for this.
At the desk of the magic dean behind her.
Sarah, who was a little confident, also died before she could achieve her goal.
Her die-hard supporter Heidi felt helpless about this.
The opponent was too strong!
...
As the rhythm of the music changed, more and more couples or men and women who had agreed to dance with each other stood up from their seats.
They walked out of the area composed of four long tables with elegant steps and walked towards the stage covered with crimson carpet.
The waltz of the swan princess and the human prince is so beautiful.
Dake and Pandora smiled at each other and also tiptoed on the stage.
The romantic atmosphere of the Christmas ball gradually became stronger.
The cute elves shuttled among the crowd, becoming the best embellishment of the ball.
The number of people dancing on the stage gradually increased.
Splendid fireworks bloomed one after another in the sky above our heads.
