Before the emergence of the world's largest megacity known as the Capital of the Seven Seas on the small island of Neosfia, the most famous theater in the world was the Silver Forest Opera House on Twilight Island (this is normal, you must know that in this world, the first mortals to develop the art form of drama were the elves, a group of literary and unliterate mortals, and they claimed to have been inspired and guided by the protector of art and love, the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite), and the Auckland Royal Theatre in the Shining City of Serokhia (it's no surprise that the Auckland Empire, after all, claims to be the birthplace of human civilization, and it is only natural that it should be at the top of humanity in the field of art...... What, you say that the Sammanshire people are earlier than the Aucklanders? Well, the Sammanshires are only theoretically related to humans by blood and cultural heritage, but their own race belongs to the silver blood of antiquity. With a long lifespan and natural power, it is by no means comparable to humans with black iron bloodlines. In addition, the royal family and nobles have all become vampires, in fact, it is difficult to represent human civilization).

However, when the small island of Neosfia became the capital of the seven seas, the pockets of the merchants who dominated the area became more and more bulging, and they began to pursue not only luxury enjoyment, but also "spiritual civilization construction". So, when these people built the world's largest, most luxurious, and most advanced super theater in Neosfia. The world suddenly realized how amazing the power of art and capital would be when they were combined.

Yes, art is not material, but spiritual, so of course it can be noble. What is arrogant is the experiment and exploration of the pioneers to find and discover the truth. There must be no groveling to money and vulgar mass aesthetics...... However, all of this is just a barking of jerking, if you really do. "Artists" must be prepared to be a lifelong niche in the spring and snow, and finally starve to death in poverty and disease. Yes, there are poor artists who are canonized after their deaths, proving the existence of pioneers who are not understood by the world but who are detached from the world, but these are still a minority of the minority, and they have no meaning to themselves.

To be more realistic, your art can neither lead the public aesthetics, nor can you conform to the popular aesthetics, and in the end you are not willing to die. It's really embarrassing! What is the difference between this kind of "art" of hiding in the "world" of self-pity and the self-congratulatory of the mentally ill?

In short, driven by capital, in just over a hundred years, the Jewel Coast Grand Theatre has already had the same prestige as Silver Forest and Auckland's Royal Theatre, and is ranked as one of the world's top three theatrical palaces, and even more famous among ordinary people. At least in the field of theatre arts, the young elves of the Silver Forest are doing avant-garde experiments, and the art scholars of the Royal Theatre in Auckland are doing theoretical formation. But it is the Gem Coast that has promoted them to the world.

Doesn't it sound like a movie in the "old Europe-rotten country-Hollywood" advanced relationship? Anyway, Lu Xi has such a sense of immediacy.

Of course, the so-called Jewel Coast Theatre refers to this famous theatre alone, but it is also a general term. As a matter of fact. Known as the "Jewel Coast Street", this bustling thoroughfare is about 3 kilometers long, facing the sea on one side, and on the other side of the city, it is a bustling business district with various large and small theaters as the core. In the luxury business district with this street at its core. There are probably more than 20 luxury theaters, including the Jewel Coast Grand Theater, and hundreds of top luxury goods. and at least 10 or more high-end restaurants that have received five-star ratings from the World Gourmets Association...... In short, it doesn't matter where you are from in the world. No matter how famous and wealthy you are in the local area, when you come here, you can't help but feel like a hillbilly. Of course, if you're willing to spend lavishly, you'll find that no matter how rich you are, you're pitifully empty.

As for the view from the sea, it is even more intoxicating.

When you walk down the main street, you can see rows of palm trees, milky white beaches, lively beaches, gorgeous marinas, and even more gorgeous sea resorts in the distance - this is something made by some wealthy and panicked dog families with the technology of the sea tribe, the smaller one can be understood as a palace floating on the sea, and the larger one can even be understood as their own moving private island, and the facilities inside...... Naturally, there is everything. Whether it's "hey, hey, hey", or hindering weathering, there are all kinds of fun and fun devices that can make this world be devoured by the mythical beasts that are rampant in the multiverse, and there is absolutely nothing that only you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't find.

For the rich and idle people of Neosfia and even other countries, this gem coast street is a real paradise. Yes, no one has ever been to the kingdom of heaven where the goddess sisters are, but this kingdom of heaven on earth can be seen and touched.

Mr. White was really a believer, and said that if he could arrive before six o'clock, he would definitely be there. Although his sight of running through the streets frightened at least a dozen cats, twenty dogs, a dozen and a half mating pigeons, and a triple-digit number of citizens, by the time the "carriage" left the trail and rushed to the gorgeous Jewel Coast Boulevard, it was at least a quarter of an hour before six o'clock.

"Every time I drive by, I think if one day I can save enough money to buy a dress for my family here." Walking through the traffic on the street, Mr. White, who was driving the car, sighed to Lu Xi like this: "When my grandfather was a small shopping street, it was just a small shopping street, like small shops selling aquatic products, meat, and various daily necessities; By my father's time, it was becoming more and more lively because the Jewel Coast Grand Theatre was built. But at that time, the neighbors were still very friendly, and the troupe owners of the Grand Theater were very friendly, and even allowed us children who didn't buy tickets to stand in the back to watch the play...... Then, when I got to the age when I was about to become a grandfather, it became like this. Glamorous, colorful, drunk and golden. I can barely face it. ”

This coachman should have read some books when he was a child, and look at how apt these idioms are. Although it is true that there is a suspicion of piling up.

“…… But you still come often, don't you? Lu Xi asked with a smile.

"I'm going to come here to pull guests! Stand guard at the entrance of the Grand Theatre. There will always be a particularly generous guest. Mr. White showed the kind of life-like sly smile peculiar to ordinary working people: "Of course, there are a lot of cars to grab guests in that place, and you have to stand in advance to get your seat." ”

"In addition, there are not only one theater on Jewel Coast Street, but also some theaters that serve us ordinary citizens, and the ticket price is not too expensive. Every month or two, I occasionally take my whole family to see a play. Mr. White proudly said to Lu Xi: "Ah, at the beginning, Mr. Plimpke was not yet famous, when he was performing in these little theaters. I've drunk with him! ”

Prympk? Mr. Türk is a halfling, the most famous master of comedy in all of Neosfia and the entire capital of the Seven Seas, and is currently the comedy pillar of the most prestigious Haitian Theatre Company on the Jewel Coast.

Don't think comedy can't be on the stage, at least not in the capital of the seven seas. Although the rich and idle bigwigs love to pretend, they are not literate, they just like this kind of tone. Mr. Prympke, who has been famous for more than ten years, has become a guest of honor for the big names by relying on his expressive comedy performances, and he may have forgotten all the civilian friends who drank and chatted with him when he was down.

However, for Uncle White. What does it matter if the other party remembers him or not? This memory slowly settled down and became a part of him, destined to accompany him throughout his ordinary and happy life.

"So, dear lady. Where did you and your friends meet? ”

"Huh? Didn't I already say that? The Jewel Coast Theatre is the place to go! Lu Xi smiled.

I thought you were referring to this street in a broad sense...... The coachman's uncle was slightly stunned, feeling that he seemed to have made a stupid mistake inexplicably. The expression looked a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Hi, I'm old. Look at my ......memory," he said, embarrassedly, "that's the symbol of our Neosfia." All the troupes and actors in the city have the biggest dream of performing there. It's just that the ticket price is too expensive, and it's very difficult to buy. If that's okay, you'll have to book at least a week in advance. ”

yes, that's okay of course......

Uncle White looked at the busy traffic on the highway again, and in this case, even with Mr. White's driving skills, he involuntarily slowed down, and finally dropped to a low speed that was not much faster than the average human walk. Fortunately, it is close to the destination, but in a matter of minutes, a large building with a splendid and avant-garde appearance, which is definitely a landmark on this dizzying avenue, comes into view.

Uncle White was driving the car, looking for a suitable parking spot, and said embarrassedly: "That, respected eldest lady, if you still need to use the car after watching the play tonight...... I can call a trusted colleague to wait for you. I couldn't have been able to come over myself. ”

"Oh? You might lose a lot of bounty. Lu Xi couldn't help but say half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Mr. Coachman hesitated for a few seconds, but then shook his head helplessly: "This, so that you know, respected eldest lady, my wife will get to the dock at noon tomorrow to sell lunches." I had to go back early and help her prepare the ingredients, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to do so much on her own, along with her clumsy eldest son and eldest daughter. ”

Very good reason, although Lu Xi and Miss Legal Lori, the two battle-hardened old fritters, were not much touched, but it can be seen that Xiao Zhengtai, who is still at an age that is easily moved, has been very moved, and looking at the back of the coachman Uncle has brought a trace of respect. For the sake of the little disciple, Lu Xi gave Mr. White double the car money.

So, in the thousand thanks of the coachman's uncle, Lu Xizhi was full of pride for a minute, and then suddenly discovered: Using this kind of small favor to occasionally buy the gratitude of the working people at the bottom to obtain "moral" self-satisfaction, that sanctimonious style is really more and more similar to the kind of class that is destined to be overthrown - his charity and generosity to the working people seems to have been spewed out by the Ma sect leader and his good friend two hundred years ago......

Social issues are indeed a complex one, people. You can be a hero who overthrows the demon god with death, but if you want to change your own life. Sure enough, it wasn't that easy.

Lu Xi sighed like this for less than a minute, when he saw five beautiful girls and a fat snow leopard waiting at the door of the Gem Coast Grand Theater. quickly put the above feelings behind him.

Why five girls? Because in addition to Lim and Nicole in the original plan, there are also two more accessories, Nanoka and Fett.

"So, who the hell do you call the attachment! I haven't seen you for so long, and people wanted to give you a friendly hug, but as soon as you came up, you offended people to death, did you want to force me to beat you to tears here? ”

Of course, even if the natural black violence is serious like Nanorca, it is impossible to do it at the entrance of the dignified Jewel Coast Grand Theater. There are well-dressed dignitaries and nobles who come in and out here, at least on the outside, they look like a race and a lot of sanctimonious demeanor. Like Lu Xi, the combination of a group of people wearing very ordinary clothes and carrying a fat snow leopard is actually quite conspicuous.

Although they were dressed in elegant waiter uniforms, several big men with bulging muscles and warriors stood by the door and stared cautiously at the fat snow leopard. Lu Xi didn't doubt it at all, if Lao Pa was really an ordinary large carnivorous cat, and suddenly became ferocious, it would only be a blink of an eye for these big men to completely take it down.

What, how can such a high-class theater allow a large pet like Panarsis to enter? I'm talking about, kids. Don't care about the discipline of capital. Neosfia is the world of the rich, and if you have money, no one can say anything even if you bring a rhinoceros into the country. You know, in order to reflect the difference between yourself and ordinary people or even ordinary rich people. The children of the big chaebols of Neosfia especially like to keep large beasts and even phantom beasts as pets. At that time, under Lu Xi's arrangement, the Norda Development Group also specially exported a batch of cubs of the Nightblade Leopard to the capital of the Seven Seas, and at the same time made a big profit. He also got in touch with the true rulers of the Seven Seas Capital.

Of course, if you're bringing a large pet. In order to prevent disturbance, you can only watch the play in the private rooms on the second and third floors. The ticket price here is often several times to more than ten times that of the hall on the first floor. However, a full range of luxury meals and beverages can be provided, plus the most intimate service.

The private room booked by Lu Xi is located on the second floor of the Ruby Theater. Facing the stage opposite, it was the best private room in the theater. Private rooms with a good location like this have either been booked by the trench all year round, or they must be booked several weeks in advance. In fact, it is true that the No. 1 private room of the Ruby Theater has been reserved by Madame Mirana, the most inspirational and successful professional junior in the history of Neosfia, for three whole years. This enthusiastic lady heard that Lu Xi had Yaxing who came to see the play tonight, so she directly lent him this private room.

The service staff of the Grand Theatre were as respectful as if they were greeting the lord, and they led the way in front cautiously and flatteringly. Lu Xi took out the arrogant attitude that life should have, and took five beautiful girls, a legal Lori, a cute Zhengtai and a fat snow leopard, and swaggered up to the second floor.

A balcony-like theater room, but spacious enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people, in addition to a row of silk sofa chairs facing the stage, there is a small bar on the side of the wall inside, filled with a variety of drinks. A long table made of fine stone can seat twelve or thirteen people, and the table is already full of sumptuous dinners and various desserts.

"This special meow can be called the life of high society!" Lu Xi was in a groove in his heart, but in order not to lose face, he finally didn't show this emotion. He was sure that it should be the first time for them to come to this kind of place, but they all behaved calmly, so the phrase "women are born to be actors" is an absolute objective truth.

"Let's fill our stomachs first." Lu Xi said to everyone: "I originally wanted to take everyone to find a restaurant opposite the theater to eat." However, I heard that the private rooms here can be eaten and drunk, and they are said to be delicious...... Naturally, it's not a waste. ”

This sound really good, and the wind couldn't help but pat her head, but the waitress who smiled sweetly didn't seem to hear it at all, and still smiled and poured high-end red wine and freshly squeezed juice drinks for everyone.

"Speaking of which, what kind of play is going on at the Ruby Theater tonight?"

"You don't even know what to play, so you invite everyone to come to the play?" Hurricane shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's the first part of the "Legend of the Golden Beard" trilogy, and this is the one that the Ruby Theater will perform this month, and the second part will be staged next month. ”

"Goldbeard? Goldenbeard Drake? The big pirate? Such a coincidence? Lu Xi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Miss Witch.

"yes, that's what happened." Storm smiled: "It is said that this play also invited contemporaries to be historical consultants." Let's take a closer look, and maybe we'll be able to find some clues to the treasure inside. (To be continued.) )
