Chapter 186: The Star of the Theater (Part II)

At the first glance of the other party, May immediately put the plan to return right away.

"Oh my God, Mei ...... May!" Exclaimed in disbelief as she approached, and then grabbed her hand and pulled her to the knight, "Honey, do you know who she is? She is the most famous actor in the Fortress Theatre, Miss May!

Although that dear sentence made May's heart skip a beat, her perennial acting habit made her reflexively curl the corners of her mouth and nod slightly, "Hello." ”

"Of course I do, you said she's the most famous actor, and who among the nobles of the West doesn't know the name of the theater star," he sighed and apologized to May, "It's my wife who is rude." I'm Film, hello. ”

He didn't have a registration number, he didn't report his identity, and even his surname was hidden. A sadness welled up in May's heart, but she still maintained the most graceful appearance on the surface, "I know you. The first knight of the West, Sir Flynn Hilt "Dawn and Morning Light". It's a shame that I couldn't attend your and Erin's wedding at that time because of the tension of the rehearsal. ”

"That's all in the past," the knight shook his head with a light smile, "I'm a teacher now, and I'm no longer from the Hilt family, so you don't need to be so polite." After speaking, he waved his hand to the others and said, "Let's go back and talk later, you have already applied for a place to live temporarily." ”

Teacher? May was stunned, did he mean the court mentor? The lord of this town is indeed a prince, but no matter how down-and-out a prince is, he will not find a knight to take on this position. And what does it mean to apply for temporary accommodation? Shouldn't Erin take the group to a safe and secure hotel in the local area?

Before she had time to think about these questions, Erin had already leaned over, "Oh my God, I really didn't expect you to be here." If "Cinderella" were played by you, it would definitely cause a sensation!"

"Really?" said May, a name for a play she had never heard of, probably written by a rookie playwright. And she didn't have time to rehearse the play, so she came here...... I just want to see how the dawn and morning light are going, maybe I can help him.

Upon entering the town, Maye noticed that something was wrong - why did this look like a new city, a barren town that served as an outpost of a fortress outside the border? The road was covered with gray-black gravel, there was no dirt to be seen, and the streets were too wide to pass two carriages side by side.

"What kind of road is this?" Sam asked, with the doubts in her mind, "It's weirdly flat to walk." ”

"Hehe," Erin smirked, "I was all mud when I first arrived, and that's how it is now." And it's not a road, it's just the foundation of the road, according to the stonemasons. ”

"They bluff you," Roxia retorted, "only a house needs a foundation, and what lies on the ground will not collapse, what kind of foundation do you want." ”

"Really, they mixed a gray powder with stones, sprinkled with water, and then pressed with stone rollers until the ground was level. I began to think that this was a new way of building roads, but the stonemason said that this was the practice given by His Royal Highness the Prince, and it seemed to be called ...... What layer of water, in short, is the foundation!" Erin led the way at the front with her hands behind her back, her long braids dangling along the swing, "In the future, there will be more people and cars waiting to go, and there will be stone floors here, and that is the real road." ”

On the stone floor, Mei Yi sneered in his heart, except for the inner city of the royal capital, what other city can pave an area with stone slabs? It is good enough to have this kind of wide and smooth road. There's still a lot of mud in the Changge Fortress.

As she walked deeper into the town, she saw that many houses on both sides of the road were being demolished, some mud and some wooden houses, although they were not new, but they were far from being uninhabitable, "Are they being driven away by the lord because they are blocking the street?"

"No, they've all moved to the community. ”

"Community?" Maye asked, "What's that?"

"The new housing estates are all the same brick and stone houses," Irene explains, "and all the Aboriginal people will be given a set, and then there will be no more dilapidated houses in the town." ”

A brick and stone house that everyone could get their hands on?Maye couldn't believe her ears, it was more exaggerated than the slate floor, did she have any idea of how much it would cost to build such a house?

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and they would occasionally stop to greet Erin and Filin. Maye discovers that Erin also seems to be a so-called teacher.

"Aren't you going to put on a play here?" she asked, "why do the townsfolk call you Teacher Irene?"

"That's my job, the theater is just a part-time job, and there is no theater in the town," Erin recounted the summons of His Royal Highness the Prince, "although it is an open-air performance, and the audience is also civilian, but the pay is according to the standards of the fortress." I think it's a good opportunity to at least train yourself. ”

"yes, yes, I'm very satisfied to be on stage. Gate and Sam nodded repeatedly.

Maye had no strength to speak, and she couldn't figure out what His Royal Highness the Prince who came up with the idea was going to do, and could those who lived every day to eat understand the love and twists and turns in the play.

In this way, the group came to a two-story building.

"This is a teacher's building, but there are only nine teachers in the border town, so there are still a lot of vacant rooms, and Filmin has applied for two temporary residence rights for you, so you can live here during the performance. Erin handed over two keys, "One for Getter and Sam, one for Roxia and Tina, uh, Miss May's words......"

"I'll stay with you. May said.

"But ......"

"I'm here to see how my fellow theater mates are doing," she said, smiling, "after all we've been working together in the theater for so long, and you're probably never going back to the fortress again, I want to talk to you more." You're not going to dislike me, are you?"

"Of course not!" Erin happily shook her hand, "I'm just worried that the room is too small for you to get used to." I have a lot of acting things I want to ask you!" she turned her head and said to the other four, "Let's put our luggage first, and then go to my house and sit down and read the script together." ”

Maye climbed up to the second floor and followed Erin and Filin into their new home.

Her last hope was dashed.

I don't want to admit it, but there is a cosy and clean feeling in this small room, the tablecloths and curtains are clearly newly purchased, they are all thin red and white cotton cloth, the floor is clean, and there is a linen rug in the living room. There were a few peculiar cups on the low table in the living room, which caught May's eye at a glance. She stepped forward to pick one up and examined it carefully, but for a moment she couldn't make out the material - it was lightweight, a bit like wood, but the surface was smooth, and the colors were full and brilliant, not at all like cheap goods that ordinary people could afford. There is also a pattern painted on the cup, which seems to be two puppets sticking together affectionately.

"It's a beautiful cup, isn't it?" said Erin, "it's just too expensive, and you sell five silver wolves in the convenience market, four is a set, and the people in the pattern have different postures." Filin said that it was to celebrate payday, and insisted on buying it for me, but he used up all his salary at once. That fool. ”

"Convenience market?" Maye deliberately ignored the other party's second half of the sentence.

"Hmm!" she nodded, "the market that the lord has opened in the town square sells some very beautiful everyday goods, but the prices are not low at all, and I can show you there tomorrow." ”

Maye had mixed feelings, and everything was completely different from what she had expected. She thought that as a knight who was defeated and captured and had no ransom, even if she was released by the lord, life would definitely be very difficult. Erin doesn't have much savings on weekdays, so she can't help him in any way other than to accompany him to suffer.

At this time, any assistance he gives can have the effect of helping Filin Hilter. If he can go one step further and use his influence to persuade the local lord to redeem the first knight, he may be able to completely turn the knight's heart around.

But...... She found that all her ideas had come to naught, and that the other party didn't need her help at all, and she could live a good life in the border town.

Do you want to go back? Choose to leave this place, and forget about Filin and the border town together.

Maye was in a state of confusion. (To be continued.) )
