Chapter 276 Invitation to Join
The Royal Opera House has an embossed pearl-colored exterior, towering rock arch windows, and a huge platinum dome. It has been renovated and rebuilt several times over thousands of years.
Currently, this magnificent building, like the huge crystal spire-like Imperial Royal Research Institute on the southwest side of the royal capital and the Glorious Clock Tower on the north side of the royal capital, is one of the landmark buildings in the central city of the royal capital.
The opera ticket that Anvis gave to the young knight Alisa was scheduled for today.
A carriage slowly stopped near the gate, and after paying the fare, Alyssa gently jumped off the carriage.
She changed into a dark blue off-shoulder dress, revealing her white and round shoulders and arms. The slender silver chain dotted between her white collarbones, making her look extremely delicate and elegant.
Behind her, the coachman whipped his whip again, and the carriage slowly drove away with the rumbling sound of wooden rollers rolling on the stone road.
"How can I help you, miss?"
As you enter the quaint stone archway, you will be greeted by waiters in neat tuxedos.
"Hello, please take me to my box."
Alyssa showed him her ticket and glanced at the magic clock in front of the door.
It’s 7:50, and there are still about ten minutes until tonight’s opera begins.
The waiter placed his fingertips on the corner of the golden ticket, and a ray of magical light flashed.
"Please follow me—"
After checking the information on the ticket, the waiter released the ticket, bowed slightly to the girl, and turned to lead the way.
Box No. 19 that Anvis had reserved was located on the fourth floor of the opera house. The two of them walked up the VIP-only staircase covered with crimson carpet and arrived in front of the box's dark wooden door with carvings.
After knocking on the door three times to inform the guests in the room that a new guest had arrived, the waiter opened the door for Alyssa, then bowed again and left.
In the box, Anvis, wearing a simple light white dress, sat in a seat by the window, looking casually in the direction of the hall and the stage, as if waiting for the opera to begin.
At this moment, he heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his eyes slightly and saw the knight girl's flaming golden-red wavy hair.
So the boy stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted the girl gracefully.
"Welcome, Miss Alyssa. I'm sorry that I can only entertain you in the ordinary box on the fourth floor. But today I'm inviting you in my personal name, so it's not appropriate to occupy the special box for Olivendi on the fifth floor."
Due to the opera house's special duplex structure, the fifth floor is the best height for enjoying opera music.
The exclusive boxes for the royal family, the four dukes, and the marquises are all located on the fifth floor, while the other floors are open to the rest of the minor nobles.
"Nice to meet you, Anvis. I think this is good enough."
Alyssa politely handed her hand to Anvis, who took off his gloves and gently shook hands with the girl.
"So, now can you tell me what you want in return?"
After shaking hands, the two sat down by the window of the box, and Alyssa asked her question again.
"Of course, Alyssa, but the opera is about to begin tonight. How about we discuss this matter after the first act of the opera?"
Avis smiled, and at the same time, with a thought, the magic theater mirror placed on the coffee table suddenly floated up and slowly hovered in front of the girl.
"Okay, Anvis, but please don't give me any more excuses, or I won't dare to accept your gift."
Hearing his words, the girl nodded seriously, took the opera glasses, and acted like an old-fashioned knight.
Anvis had good reasons for choosing tonight as the time for the invitation.
Tonight, the Royal Opera House will perform Maestro Casey French's masterpiece, the famous revenge opera Theo Sissi, known for its wonderful music and epic plot.
The protagonist of the story, Theo Sis, is the son of a minor noble who was framed by his enemies. When his family was destroyed, he escaped by chance.
From then on, he hid in the dark and carried out a series of plots, and finally destroyed the enemy's family in a war and successfully avenged himself.
At the same time, the Royal Capital Opera House also invited the famous bard, Loren Windtalker, who happened to be traveling to the Royal Capital, to play the leading role in person and prepare to bring a grand performance tonight.
About a minute later, the magic crystal lights in the hall dimmed and the opera officially began.
Beautiful background music sounded, the layered velvet curtain decorated with golden tassels was drawn open, and bright white lights gathered in the center of the stage, creating a lively scene like an aristocratic dinner party.
The first scene is about the protagonist's father being framed by his enemies at a dinner party, and then his family is ordered to be searched by the enraged king of the kingdom.
And how the protagonist, who happened to be out hunting at this time, fought wits and courage with the attacking enemies in the dark night of the storm, and finally fell into the huge waterfall in the darkness and escaped with his life.
Thanks to the extraordinary talents of the actors and musicians tonight, the entire performance was of a very high standard.
As the first act was about to end, Avis put down his opera glasses and turned to look at the girl.
At this moment, the girl leaned forward slightly, leaning against the window, watching the performance intently with a magic viewing mirror.
Because of this posture, her well-proportioned and beautiful body curves were fully displayed to Anvis' eyes.
Looking at the young knight in front of him taking off his armor and putting on a dress, Avis suddenly remembered a law of physics.
The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull.
And when the mass is large enough, even light will be attracted.
Therefore, Avis's gaze was instinctively attracted to the source of gravity below Alyssa's collar for a moment.
Just at this moment, the first act of the opera officially ended. Alyssa put down her viewing glasses and looked in the direction of Avis.
“Okay, Alyssa, let’s talk about business tonight.”
Avis calmly turned his gaze back to the girl's face and looked into her beautiful golden-red eyes.
At the same time, a dark golden magic ring appeared in his hand.
There are silver inscriptions on the surface of the ring, and a small pale blue unknown gem is embedded on the top.
Handing the ring to the girl, Avis smiled and spoke.
"As a return gift, on behalf of the Hidden Knowledge Conclave, I sincerely hope to invite you to join."
"A secret meeting?"
Hearing this, Alyssa frowned slightly.
Although she had never heard of this organization, she also understood that these strange secret organizations should not be added casually. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble.
"Can you give us a brief introduction of what kind of organization this is?"
"Of course, it's a very reasonable request."
Avis nodded.
"In fact, the Hidden Knowledge Society is just a relatively small private group. Currently, there are only me and several other Pamir students as members. The main purpose is to communicate with each other and help each other."
“When members of an organization encounter some problems and troubles, they can seek help from others in the organization.”
"Also, in order to ensure the safety of everyone in the club to the greatest extent possible, the only way for us to meet is to use this magic ring to separate a wisp of our spirit and enter a dedicated dream space to meet."
Thank you for your rewards and monthly tickets——
