Chapter 727 Hero's Tombstone (Happy Double Festival to everyone)
Keswick, "Rose Square."
When the small crystal suddenly descended and emitted the aura of a top-level creature, the crowd immediately erupted in exclamations and screams, they retreated towards the surroundings as if swept away by the tide, and their fear almost condensed into substance.
"Monster!"
"Dragon, dragon!"
"It's done, it's done......"
"Okay, it's scary!"
In just an instant, a large area of space was vacated around the "curtain", although they knew that this was what happened in the Grand Theater of the Kingdom of Rentat, but the subconscious fear came from instinctive reactions, and they couldn't control it at all, and there was no better "special effect" than the "real dragon" on the stage!
Similar situations also occurred in cities of different sizes such as Kuks, Salivar, Pephos, and Samara, some were afraid to retreat, some were completely dazed, and some felt like they were dreaming.
Although it has been difficult for humans living in non-remote areas to see dragons since the heyday of the ancient magical empire, as the eternal villain BOSS in the stories of generations of bards, people's impression of dragons has not diminished with the passage of time and birth, old age, illness and death.
Even from a long distance, Banus and Ali were still full of fear of the dragon in the "curtain", if they hadn't been stunned by fright, they would have turned around and fled.
Suddenly, Ali woke up: "She is in the Kingdom Theater, near the dragon!"
What to do? What to do? Just when his fear and worry were about to drive him crazy, the only opera singer standing on the stage, Princess Amantha, said in a recital with singing characteristics: "My most precious treasure is my courage and chivalrous faith, no one can take it, abominable dragon, kill me, or be killed by me, there is no third choice!"
Oh?
The same astonishment came out in the hearts of all those who did not understand what was going on, ma'am, you are an opera singer, not a real knight! It is better to leave such a difficult thing as dragon slaying to "professionals"!
Hey, could it be...... Could it be? Finally, Banus, Ali and others came back to their senses a little.
When the princess sang, the "unaffected" band was also playing, and the tense, uneasy, urgent, and tragic melody made everyone truly empathize!
The singer and opera singer who plays the princess, "staring" at the dragon in front of her with her heart pounding wildly, because she had rehearsed a long time ago and Xiaojing deliberately restrained her dragon power so that she was not affected, she was barely able to control her body and voice without trembling, and continued to sing her lyrics.
And this subconscious fear caused her to secrete hormones, making her feel that she was performing at the best level she had ever played, and the simultaneous trembling of the nobles below proved her feelings.
In the same way, the band was not affected by Long Wei, so it could continue to play.
Listening to the princess's tragic, high-pitched aria that made the body tremble, Banus, Ali and the others shuddered, completely recovering from the effects brought by the dragon.
"You really hired a dragon to play the role of a money-hungry evil dragon?" Banus felt that there was something wrong with his words, but the hormones secreted from extreme fear made him excited and excited now, making it difficult to think calmly.
The last time Her Majesty the Queen got married, the scene of Her Excellency "Atomic Control" riding the dragon was praised by bards, and they all claimed to have witnessed the grandeur of the time at the scene, so as to enjoy the envious gaze of everyone and improve the credibility of the story.
"Maybe it's a magician's illusion?" He looked at the thick neck of the little crystal, translucent like crystal scales, and reflexively raised doubts.
The audience next to him said excitedly: "It shouldn't be an illusion, Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty Prince Evans and the magician in the box are all legendary powerhouses, god-like beings, how can they not see through illusion, so they can only see the 'princess' singing alone, this is disrespectful to them, so it must be a real dragon......"
He was also affected by hormones and couldn't stop speaking.
"Makes sense, oh, it's really a dragon......"
"The kingdom and the magic council can turn a dragon into an opera singer!"
In amazement, the little crystal on the stage answered the princess's challenge, it leaned back, raised its two paws in front, kept beating its chest, and let out an "angry" roar:
"Ahhh
Vomit! All viewers below the advanced level were once again frightened by the dragon's majestic emanation and "terrifying roar"to take a step back.
"It's scary!" Banus, who was clenching his fists, said loudly, but there was more excitement than fear in his voice.
"It's so scary, it's scary......" Miss Duke Jane patted her chest, looking frightened, but her eyes were staring at the stage, her eyes revealing unprecedented excitement, mixed with a faint sense of fear.
Around all the "live broadcast squares", most of the audience had similar expressions, such an opera was simply unseen and unheard of, so exciting, exciting, and beautiful!
Ali swallowed his saliva: "The 'princess' is so powerful, standing in front of the dragon is not intimidated, look at the ...... around you."
"Valkyrie......" Banus looked at the "curtain" intently, and thoroughly understood the "meaning" of the Valkyrie.
In the box, Natasha looked at Lucian suspiciously: "Why is Little Crystal's movements and roars a bit strange? What exactly did you think when you designed......"
Fernando also glared at Lucian, how could he let Xiao Crystal do such an action and make such a roar? It's a dragon, nothing else...... But this little guy is quite suitable for this......
"I designed several sets of movements and roars, but Xiaojing chose this one herself, and she felt that it best showed its 'majesty'." Lucian smiled.
Natasha raised her eyebrows and rubbed her chin: "From your laughter, I seem to understand a point, the rest of the actions and roars must be even more unbearable, Xiao Crystal naturally thinks this set is great in comparison."
Lucian smiled: "The result of the choice only depends on the design of the options, hehe, isn't this good? Isn't it suitable for Xiaojing?"
"It's good!" Natasha also chuckled.
On the stage, the final battle broke out, and the princess's knights had recovered from the dragon's might, surrounded her again, and were about to charge with her.
The princess opened her throat softly with a resolute expression, and a sweet and moving song hit everyone's heart directly with the accompaniment of the band.
Most people will always recall the beauty of the past before doing something that is very important to them, and in danger or dying, what they can recall is definitely the most beautiful and impressive pictures in their lives.
Ali looked at the "curtain" with confused eyes, imagining the woman in his heart, imagining the gap between the two that could not be crossed.
The song ended and the song was passed, this time it was the chorus of the Knights, the tune was warm and far-reaching, as if it was a reproduction of a beautiful life with their families, which gradually filled them with the will to "protect" and made the audience understand the meaning of "protection".
Finally, the princess sang loudly again, breaking this warmth, and the melody was tragic and tragic, brewing passionate progress, expressing the determination to either die in battle or kill the evil dragon.
In front of them is a real dragon, "beside" is the princess and a knight fighting to protect the homeland, and in the ears is the melody played by the band that harmonizes perfectly with the atmosphere.
This feeling moved them themselves, making Ali clench his fists, if he was not even afraid of death, then what was there to be afraid of? No matter how far away it is, there will be a day when it will be done, as long as you take the first step!
Toot!
The horn of the charge sounded, and the melody suddenly became fierce and urgent, which made the nobles and ordinary people who did not stimulate the power of the bloodline grasp anything they could grasp around them, making everyone feel the bravery, determination, and surging when they really charged.
In every previous act, they could find more classic music than the previous one, but now, they really understand that "Charge" is the core and most classic component of this opera!
The fierce battle began, and amidst the sound of the "horn of charge", knights fell one by one, and there were fewer and fewer people around the princess.
In the end, the princess stabs the dragon in the heart at the cost of an arm.
Xiaojing covered her abdomen in "pain" and fell to the ground and kept rolling, causing the stage to creak.
The long sword pestled to the ground, the princess knelt on one knee, she looked around and found that all her companions had fallen to the ground and lost their breath.
The melody changes again, sad and heroic, desolate and mournful.
The princess raised her head slightly, her mouth opened, as if a song sounded from the depths of her soul:
"Heroes never die"
"It will only slowly fade away in people's memories"
Banus shivered, feeling a tremor from his soul to his body, and the ethereal sad but implied firm and tragic melody hit his soul directly.
He couldn't describe this feeling, he only knew that this song deeply shocked him, made him forget everything around him, and completely fell into the "world" shaped by the song.
……
"Bury my bones, don't erect a tombstone"
"This fertile plain and bustling city is our best tombstone!"
Crystal tears condensed in the corners of most of the audience's eyes and slipped quietly, and the princess drew her long sword and walked behind with difficulty, leaving only a firm and straight back.
The curtain slowly fell.
"This is the best opera I have ever heard, and it couldn't be more beautiful!" After a while, Oliver excitedly congratulated Lucian.
Natasha blinked: "I think so too, Lucian, thank you for your gift."
"By the way, what is the last aria called?" Oliver couldn't wait to ask.
Lucian smiled and said: ""The Tombstone of the Hero".
At this time, most of the audience really woke up, and fierce and enthusiastic applause erupted in the Kingdom Theater, and thunderous applause erupted in the squares of the large and small cities of the Holm Kingdom, and the other three countries in the Strait and the major cities of the Northern Coastal Corridor also had volcanic eruptions.
In a study on the top floor of the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, Hathaway sat behind her desk, in front of a curtain of water reflecting the scene from the Grand Theater of the Kingdom of Rentat.
The soft humming echoed in the room, but it seemed to be a bit incomplete......
Happy Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day everyone~
