Chapter 50 Soul Singer, Redeemer in the River Styx
"Obviously you won, why do you look like you're the loser?" Feltman, a layman, was trying to conceive the story that had to be told between the aristocratic genius girl and the poor dangsi in Mildis Intermediate Academy, when he saw Xiaoweier's sad face Full face, can not help but a little strange.
"You don't understand the world of genius, how lonely it is to be invincible. God, give me a genius boy who can defeat me!" Then let him become the focus of everyone instead of me, so that I can learn and grow quietly, and I It's not suitable to stand in everyone's sight now, there is not enough strength to support such a heavy burden.
"Cut!" Dozens of hands raised their middle fingers at him at the same time.
Drake City has become a lot richer, but it has also fallen a lot. There is not a single official knight among the thirteen or fourteen-year-old peers. This kind of fault has appeared for several years, and now the most promising person to break this fault is undoubtedly Lily. Silk and Littleville. But one of these two people is a girl, and the other is from an ordinary family, and they have not been trained as knights for a long time, which is too accidental.
Seeing the spirit in the subtleties, I have to say that many times the upper-level people do not realize the seriousness of the problem, but it is not that careful people do not exist, and Jasmine is one of them. She worked hard to cultivate Lilith, and with the help of Lilith's hand, she wanted to wake up those fallen nobles, but this plan was not successful and was suppressed in half by Xiaowei. Fortunately, Lilith was very resilient. Instead of sinking, she was inspired. fighting spirit.
With a history of more than 100 years, the Cistercian Opera House is an antique that has witnessed the rise and fall of Drake City for a hundred years. The influence of the administration of the Earl of Bordeaux from the father of the Earl of Bordeaux to the present Earl of Bordeaux also represents the rise and fall of the business community in the east. The Eastern District gradually declined, and most of the emerging wealthy businessmen moved to the Southern District and the central area. The east area represents the old traditional industries, such as transportation, mining, marine fishery, small handicrafts, etc., while the south area is the emerging industry, such as ocean transportation, foreign trade commodities, clothing, shoes and hats, fine wine and food, high-end enjoyment, children's paradise, Jewelry, cosmetics, bookstore chains and other emerging industries.
With the departure of the merchants and the centralized management of the nobles, the Eastern District declined, and some of the original industries in the Eastern District also collapsed. The Cister Opera House is one of the representatives. Mandello never considered himself a businessman. He considered himself an artist. He inherited the opera house from his father for 30 years. In addition to the opera house, he also runs a large-scale bookstore, selling classic books with strong artistic quality. Like the Cistercian Opera House, his bookstore is high and low, and its management is equally poor. If it hadn't been for some income in the suburban estate, he might have really gone bankrupt. Even so, his family has gone from being a big businessman to being a third-rate businessman and a farmer. The former large courtyard in the East District was sold by him for a large manor in the suburbs. This may be the most profitable transaction in his life. His wife is the daughter of a small businessman, and his three children are all grown ups. , was sent to his relatives in other cities for development.
Mandello knew that he had no chance to revive the family business, and he also knew that his character was too heavily influenced by his father, so he was unwilling to let his children continue such a life, and he interfered as little as possible with the children's choices. , let them find their ideals in life early. He, his wife and an old servant guarded the opera house and bookstore, and he also occasionally went to the farmhouse on the outskirts, um, when the East End was unhappy.
Recently, he also discovered the strangeness of the Cistercian Opera House. As the owner, he had personally investigated it, but found nothing. The ferocious big dog at home did not dare to approach the stage within a radius of 20 meters, which made Mandeluo feel a little uncomfortable. Dogs are very loyal and very sensitive. There is something in the opera house left by my father, something that may not be very good. I asked the people from the security department of the city hall to confirm, they said everything is normal,
He also wanted to come and see at night, but was stopped by his wife and servants, saying that he should not care about so much when he was a lot of age, and professional problems should be left to professional people, so he hired two employees. The soldier and a detective stayed in the opera house for three days and three nights.
They got nothing, but people outside could still see the lights inside the opera house and hear the elegant and melodious singing coming from inside. Mandello was frightened. After dismissing the mercenaries and detectives, he was about to sell the opera house. What he thought was not something dirty, but that his opera house was being targeted by a powerful nobleman.
It was impossible for the mercenaries and detectives to know nothing. They must have been bribed. Faced with inquiries from the senior knights of Jasmine and the church people, Mandello expressed great indignation and said that he would sell the opera house, but the price was absolutely certain. No less, I am already old, and I plan to leave a considerable legacy for my three children.
Jasmine was very forthright, and directly dropped 5,000 gold coins to buy this dilapidated opera house. Mandello accepted the deal after a little hesitation, took the bank check handed over by Jasmine, and promised early tomorrow morning. Go to City Hall to complete the transfer procedure. However, he still asked unwillingly: "Can you tell me which big man fell in love with my dilapidated opera house? What does that big man plan to do with the Cister Opera House?"
"There are really a lot of people interested in this opera house, the City Lord's Mansion, the City Hall, the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, the Church of the God of Storms, the Church of the God of Business Fortune, the Church of the God of Craftsmen, and at least three schools of wizards. As for what to do with this opera house in the future, it depends on how much damage was done to the opera house when the strange things inside were disposed of. Maybe, it will be in ruins tomorrow." Jasmine The words shocked Luo, "Dear lady, it's not that I don't believe what you said, it's just, it's just, this is too amazing. Isn't it because a certain big man took a fancy to my opera house and found someone to do it?"
"Hehe, Mr. Rodman, who do you think can invite two high-level knights, two bishops in white, ten priests, and hundreds of full-time knights at the same time, for your dilapidated opera house?" Jasmine's words made Rodman feel a little embarrassed. "The Cister Opera House has been abnormal since half a year ago. Since it never caused any harm, the City Hall sent two ordinary clerks to watch for a few days. The case was hastily closed, and I didn’t think about things too complicated. The extraordinary people who applied for professional processing caused the anomalies here to become more and more powerful. It is strange to say that the Cister Opera House has no influence on ordinary people at all, and it is aimed at precisely the Extraordinary people, ordinary people can enter the opera house at will, but we extraordinary people have no way to enter. If it hadn't been for a great sage to inform us, I'm afraid I don't know how long it will take to be noticed. At that time, more and more The more powerful anomalies might affect or even harm ordinary people.”
"It turns out to be so." Rodman accepted the explanation, but pleaded: "In any case, this opera house is an ancestral heritage, if you can, please keep it as much as possible. If you can If you do, please allow me to redeem it at the original price after you have dealt with the abnormality inside."
"Mr. Rodman, I have to say that you are very courageous. If there are no sequelae after the treatment, we can consider returning the Opera House to you. As for the five thousand gold coins, there is no need to return them." I don't care, it's the city hall's account anyway, and it has nothing to do with me.
General of the night, hundreds of formal knights outside the Cister Opera House surrounded the Opera House. Jasmine, the two white bishops from the Church of the Goddess of Dawn and the Church of the God of Storms stood at the forefront, and the two senior knights were from the two churches. The guardian knight of the temple, a powerful existence specially responsible for the safety of the two bishops.
The night was getting darker and darker, and suddenly the lights were lit in the originally dark Sister Opera House, and a melodious voice came faintly, which seemed to be a song, a very old ballad.
"Soul Singer, the Redeemer in the River Styx, how could he be here?!" The bishop of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn was shocked. Suddenly the surrounding scenery changed, and a palm-sized angel flew out, overwhelming the sky and covering them. Flying, the little angels are very cute, holding small toy bows and arrows and shooting white rays of light.
"Be careful, this is the dream elf of the Voice of Heaven. It can attract people's dreams. Use extraordinary power to resist it." The knights have inspired the seeds of vindictiveness, and the junior knights can achieve it only if their physical strength is strong enough.
