Chapter 119 Elsa's Performance
The magnificent theater was suddenly plunged into darkness.
If there were a spotlight focused on the center of the stage at this moment, Rand would definitely think it was the opening of a grand performance.
Actually, there is one, and although it is not a modern spotlight, it still has the same effect.
After all the light sources disappeared, candles gradually lit up in the center of the stage, illuminating a masked figure.
He placed his left hand on his chest and stretched out his right hand, making a standard opening move.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen." It was a shrill voice with a strange tone.
Rand turned his head to glance at the black and brown Marquis. Although he could tell from his expression that this was not a specially prepared performance, Rand still felt the need to confirm it.
Otherwise, it would be bad if Elsa and Olena took action and killed the actor.
The Black and Brown Marquis pulled out the ceremonial sword he had been wearing at his waist, then he took out another sword from somewhere and threw it to the Earl of the Stag beside him.
Then he said to Rand apologetically: "It looks like there is some trouble."
Rand simply asked, "Excuse me, did you bring the ritual objects of the Torch Church?"
The nobles present all shook their heads.
Then there is nothing to be afraid of. Rand sat down calmly and prepared to watch the show.
Although the Black and Brown Marquis had long known that Rand was a calm and resourceful young man, he was still able to remain calm in this situation, which still attracted attention.
They certainly didn't think that Rand was so relaxed because he didn't feel threatened.
The shrill voice on the stage continued to speak, slightly turning its body from facing the audience to facing sideways: "Well, then, please welcome the actors."
It was as if a mechanism behind the stage was clicking.
Blood rained down from above the stage, followed by several more corpses, which laid out in weird positions on the ground along with their intestines.
If it was Rand before the time travel, he would feel fear or even disgust, but the current Rand, after experiencing various events including bloody battles, even thinks that this masked man really has some artistic talent.
The masked man was originally wearing a snow-white dress, but due to the previous blood rain, it had been stained red with blood.
When the actor he was talking about came on stage, he crossed his gloved hands in front of him, spread his fingers, and then bent them slightly.
In the candlelight on the stage, Rand could see the thin metallic threads wrapped around the masked man's fingers.
Then all the disemboweled corpses stood up under his control like puppets.
The Dark Brown Marquis had a gloomy expression on his face, it was not easy to train a group of theater actors, and they were all killed at once.
It's not that he didn't recruit top-level professionals. To be precise, there were geniuses in the Black and Brown family who had successfully been promoted to top-level professionals. But this time, when he watched the theater performance in his own territory, he brought two top-level professional guards with him.
The same goes for Count Stag. As for the two women around Rand, no matter how much he thinks highly of Rand, these two masked women can't be top-level professionals, right?
There are a total of six superior professionals, who can be a considerable combat force if used well. However, the masked man who is performing in the center of the stage as if no one is around is obviously the most superior professional. Moreover, since he dares to do such a thing in the Black and Brown City, he must have a backup plan.
Gently pulling the silk thread in his hand, although the masked man was wearing a mask, people present could still feel that he was smiling.
"The song is 'Chaos and War.'" The masked man's voice was no longer as shrill as before, but became calm, as if he was really introducing the show before the performance.
"A follower of the God of Struggle?" Rand asked Olenna, who was standing next to him on guard, calmly.
Olenna whispered, "And it's from a high-level position."
This time, the followers of the God of Struggle participated in the civil war in the Frostmoon Kingdom. Even though the overall strategy was a failure, the civil war did not become protracted. Thanks to Rand's outstanding performance, the civil war ended in one winter.
But the God of Struggle sect still made a profit.
The war brought too much death and loss of resources, which was particularly severe for the lower-class villagers.
Therefore, it was much easier for the followers of the God of Struggle to incite struggle. Moreover, the civil war in the Frost Moon Kingdom was itself a struggle.
Although a large number of new followers of the God of Struggle were wiped out due to the timely return to defense, overall, the strength of the God of Struggle sect should have expanded.
I just don't know why this follower of the God of Struggle who has reached the highest level of profession decided to assassinate the Black and Brown Marquis.
However, he, Rand and Earl of the Stag may also be one of the assassination targets, but it is hard to be sure.
Then, as the masked man finished speaking, all the corpses seemed to come alive and pounced towards the audience.
At the same time, a guard beside the Black and Brown Marquis also raised his weapon, but his target was not the horrible corpse rushing over, but the Black and Brown Marquis.
"Elsa." Rand called softly.
Although Elsa was not as considerate as Olenna, she still understood what Rand meant at this time.
The blood-red hooked dagger seemed to be pulled out from thin air, Elsa twisted her body slightly, and the guard was knocked unconscious.
Then several corpses that rushed over were also stopped by the other guards.
The masked man was not discouraged, but laughed instead. At least his laughter could be heard by everyone in the theater.
His hands were crossed in front of him again, the light of the silk thread flashed, and then turned over.
Suddenly, dense figures and hundreds of flesh and blood puppets appeared in the field.
And they all have armor and weapons.
The nobles present, who had originally breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly turned into despair. In addition to Rand, there were two masked women.
"Elsa." Rand called Elsa's name again.
Elsa didn't make any sound in response, but just moved slightly.
Since her promotion, although she doesn't know whether she is now the top leader, she has indeed become much stronger.
The instant step, which was already extremely fast, became silent.
The lights in the field went out again, but this time it was because of Elsa's actions.
They fell into darkness again, and then there were sounds of metal clashing, daggers piercing flesh, and heavy objects falling to the ground.
When Elsa appeared again, standing on the giant ceiling of the theater and slowly lit the candles on the ceiling one by one, all the flesh and blood puppets had fallen to the ground.
Only the masked man was left, realizing that things were beyond his control.
At this moment, he finally no longer had that feeling of having everything under control and being superior.
Elsa jumped down from the ceiling and stood back next to Rand, causing the two frightened little girls to look at her sideways.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Well, Rand also thinks Elsa is very handsome, and maybe a little too strong.
"This is a blasphemy against the god of struggle!" the masked man in the center of the stage cursed angrily.
Then he obviously realized that he couldn't escape, so he decided to fight to the death.
The mask fell to the ground, revealing a handsome face.
His lips and tongue moved slightly, and a rose-red gem, larger and more crystal-clear than any Rand had ever seen before, appeared between his teeth.
Although he felt that nothing would happen even if he transformed, Rand certainly would not give him this opportunity.
Smiled.
To be honest, during this period of time, he has been using Blessing 2 for either plant breeding or mating cattle and horses. To be honest, he is about to become autistic if he keeps snapping his fingers at animals and plants all day long.
Now we finally have the chance to use it on humans.
It couldn't be that the handsome blond guy in front of me didn't have sexual desire.
Stretch your right hand forward, then touch your middle finger and thumb together, and snap your fingers and you're done.
Rand's Blessing 2 is instant, but it's not that urgent now, so Rand still snapped his fingers.
The blond handsome guy who was about to bite it suddenly froze in his face and couldn't bite it anymore, and the huge rosy red orb fell to the ground.
Then his whole face flushed.
Rand smiled evilly, then called Elsa's name for the third time: "Elsa."
"Wait a minute!" shouted the Black and Brown Marquis, whose mood changed from solemn to relaxed, then to desperate, and finally to shocked.
Rand also nodded, and asked Elsa, who turned back to see what Rand meant, to stop.
"Don't kill him, just knock him out, please, Viscount Rand!" The dark-brown Marquis had a bitter look on his face and pleaded with Rand in a pleading tone.
So if you look closely, the face underneath this masked man is somewhat similar to that of the Black and Brown Marquis.
No way.
But Rand still had to give face to his old boss, the Marquis of Black and Brown, and this masked man obviously looked like a high-ranking member of the God of Struggle sect, so maybe he could get something out of him.
"Knock him out," Rand said to Elsa.
Theoretically, after being knocked unconscious, you should be fine after the effect of Blessing 2 wears off. However, Taran is the only person who has been knocked unconscious by Blessing 2. Rand is not sure, but he has to save the face of the Black and Brown Marquis, so it is not easy to use other means.
For example, find him a sheep.
The top-level professionals will not completely lose their combat effectiveness after being hit by Blessing 2, but the impact is very great. At least the masked man who might have been able to fight with Elsa for a few rounds was easily knocked out by Elsa with a single hand knife.
The black and brown marquis was silent for a while, then apologized again: "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sorry for causing trouble."
It turns out that he is really his son, but I don’t know which son he is. It’s really a misfortune for his family.
After having his men tie up the unconscious masked man with chains and drag him away, the Black and Brown Marquis had no intention of continuing the matchmaking and asked all irrelevant personnel to leave.
The Dark Brown Marquis rubbed his face vigorously. Because he led the troops in the civil war, this mighty and majestic middle-aged man had many scars after the war.
But the black and brown marquis, who had always seemed to be in good spirits, now showed a bit of dejection. He just forced himself to cheer up and said, "Actually, there is still something important to do. It just so happens that the dog, no, the Count of the Stag is also here."
The Earl of the Stag was very perceptive and his eyes narrowed, but thinking of the unfortunate family situation of the Marquis of Black and Brown, he did not argue with him.
Then the Black and Brown Marquis continued, "The longships of the Ice Sea Kingdom have already arrived in the territory of the Kingdom of Lunsa. We can definitely grab some together to make up for the losses caused by the chaos in the Frost Moon Kingdom during this period of time."
Then he paused and said, "According to the news from my official in the capital, the king has officially allowed it, but we have to pay taxes to the king for the stolen goods."
