"How did you get through it? Didn't we spend it together?" Ling Xin looked up in confusion.
"Every day I wonder when I'll have endless money to spend. You know how painful it is to watch others make tons of money with music while I can't even touch it? Wow, I was here first. I invented the speaker, I invested in music boxes, and I became friends with a world-famous singer. It should have been a happy and fulfilling life, so why did it turn out like this today?"
"Because Lan Lier spends money lavishly, she can't even open a workshop or a chamber of commerce. All the money she saved before was lost." Ling Xin looked helpless.
"So, now that I'm finally happy, please don't discourage me anymore. I'm almost heartbroken. If you don't let me be happy, I'll really cry in front of you." Lan Li'er grabbed Ling Xin's collar and complained bitterly.
"Ah, okay, okay, I'll give you a little encouragement today. Good boy, big star Lanlier~" Ling Xin hugged her companion and touched her back to comfort her.
After a brief period of laughter, the official performance was about to begin.
In the noisy open-air venue, the lights were turned off one by one, and then the only remaining light shone on the center of the stage.
At this time, the audience gradually quieted down and focused their attention on the stage where there was only light, and then the voice of narration sounded.
"After thousands of years of turmoil, the world has entered peace, yet the songs in the stories are still sung, and countless people once again recall those two once-world-renowned titles and the moving legends born from them."
"Tonight, time turns back again." After saying this, a huge brass dial slowly descended from above the stage. The hands on it stood still, and in the center was written the current year in ancient gold: 1824 of the Third Era.
As the dial slowly fell to the center of the stage, the sound of a bell rang, echoing in the night sky, clear and distant.
As the bell rang, the hour hand on the dial slowly turned again, making a clicking sound, but it did not rotate clockwise as normal, but counterclockwise. As it turned a circle, the year on it was reduced by one year, showing 1823.
In this way, the hands rotate faster and faster, and distorted light and shadow are twisted around the clock, as if time is distorted at this moment. Under the vivid special effects, the audience in the venue gradually get into the state, their eyes fixed on the dial.
The bells rang more and more rapidly, the hands turned into phantoms, and people's hearts became more and more nervous and expectant, until the last moment, the dial stopped abruptly, the hour hand suddenly froze on a scale, and the year on the dial also stopped at the 428th year of the Third Age.
The lingering sound of the previous bell gradually faded away, and the huge dial slowly disappeared into the shadows, covered by the drawn curtain.
A huge castle model slowly rises from behind the stage, so magnificent and so ancient, with elegant rock bricks and moss on it, making people dream back to that distant era.
[Sound of books turning pages]
Narration sounded
"Volume 12, Page 741"
"The two singers will eventually pass away one day..."
Then a brisk prelude began to sound, and a number of background posters were erected behind the stage. The colorful painted panels with a slightly fairy-tale style represented trees, rooms and halls, and even guards with halberds whose faces were covered.
Afterwards, a slightly joyful singing narration sounded.
"The daughter of the Duke known as the Red Songstress..." As the song played, a girl with fiery red hair and a bright red dress walked onto the stage.
That kind of hair was not a dull wine red, nor was it a light red like faded madder, but a stunning red like a burning and blooming flower, which was breathtaking.
"The chess pieces on the board have moved forward..."
"The Crimson Songstress, backed by the Holy City and the Southern Territory."
Sing! Crimson Songstress
You should be on board
It is an elegant, gorgeous and brilliant capital.
After the crimson singer stood still, the lights on the other side of the stage came on, and then another singer wearing a light blue dress and long blue hair like water also came on the stage.
The daughter of a feudal lord known as the Blue Songstress...
The Northern Capital Territory and the Water City serve as support for the Blue Songstress
"It's my turn to move forward..."
Sing! The Blue Songstress
You should be on board
It is a capital city that is elegant and beautiful.
The two singers took the stage together. This performance, or opera, was about the legend of the two Cang Fei singers in the early Third Age. Although the story ended in tragedy, it was precisely because of this that countless people could not forget it and it has been passed down to this day.
The two proud daughters of the Duke, geniuses that attracted the attention of all, each became a singer sought after and dreamt of by countless people in the territory, and then went to the royal capital together to compete for the grievances and hatreds played out on the highest stage, and finally made a gorgeous but sad exit.
"The crimson passion sings of the gorgeous and dazzling beauty, and only I am mine."
"The clear song of the flowing spring, the gentle smile of quiet elegance, only mine is mine"
"The Fleeing Girl and the Beast in Pursuit"
"Puppet with tangled red string"
The Cycle of Opera and Tragedy
"Puppet with tangled red string"
"The beast with bared fangs chased to the top of the cliff."
"When a singer's voice is taken away, her world is taken away with her."
The story is not complicated. Two singers involved in the struggle for royal power died one after another, and in the end everything came to nothing.
Beautiful stories, sad songs, and regretful legends are always so touching. Nearly a hundred years after entering the new era, people have begun to pick up those things from history. The stories of princesses and princes have become attractive again after being separated by time.
