Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 1288 Singer

"Attention, please! Attention, please! Due to the track failure, the Eurostar will be suspended from now on, please go to..."

"Attention, please..."

They suddenly became chaotic and made a noise—in the waiting hall of the railway station.

How could this be?
The orc girl looked at the updated translation of the station service information on the mobile phone translation software in surprise—she was about to log in to Eurostar in an 'extra' way, and she couldn't help frowning.

"Sister, what happened?"

The orc girl didn't speak, but put a hood on Oga, and then dragged him to a place where no one was there, explaining what happened.

"Fault?" Oga was quite surprised when he found out the reason - he could barely understand English, but he could see the time on the electronic clocks that existed everywhere, "Then we..."

"Let me see if there are other routes, don't worry, there will be a solution." The orc girl comforted softly, "At worst, wait for the repairs to be completed, this route will not be closed forever, maybe it will be fine tomorrow. "

Even so, facing the pursuers and being in such a foreign country, she felt quite dangerous for one more day...Another route?Apart from this undersea tunnel across the ocean, where is there any other way to go?

By boat... She doesn't want to go by boat anymore.

Not only because of the shadows that remained in the cabin after being captured by the orc traffickers, but also the instinctive fear of the sea—she is an orc who can't swim and is afraid of water.

As for the plane... Obviously, getting on the plane is not as convenient as smuggling the train.

"Let's get out of here first..."

Thinking about it, the orc girl pulled Oga and left the train station while the passengers were in confusion.

……

……

Her Majesty's Theatre, Her Majesty's Chambers.

"...Okay, I see." Putting the phone down, Lancelot came to Her Majesty's side, looked at Her Majesty who seemed to be a little absent-minded at this time, and said, "Mr. Pukins is calling. The knight agency has successfully captured all the members of the 'Doomsday Myth' on the attack list extracted from Red's mouth. And because it was deployed in advance, only one was seriously injured and four were slightly injured in this operation."

"Oh...that's great." Although she was absent-minded, Her Majesty the Queen had obviously received the message. She also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you for saving our country once again."

For Her Majesty, although the current political system does not allow her to have the power that a monarch should have, it is clear that she does not want to be a monarch who is threatened by others and finally splits the country, thereby leaving a stigma.

"I should reward the person who successfully captured Red, Lancelot, are you right?" Her Majesty seemed to be in a much better mood, even smiling more.

"Perhaps it would be more appropriate for you to have a meeting with Mr. Pukins." Lancelow said slowly, "Although almost all members of the 'Doomsday Myth' who were active in our country were arrested this time, according to intelligence, the organization's The leader and several other main backbones did not show up, so this matter may not be over yet."

Her Majesty seemed to recall the past, and while combing the pet's hair slowly, she said slowly, "In my life, I have seen many so-called revolutionary parties and underground organizations...they all have one characteristic in common, you Do you know what it is?"

She glanced at Lancelot, whose expression didn't change much, smiled and said, "That is, they all attach great importance to their companions. If Mr. Pukins and other leaders of the knight organization are smart, maybe An attempt can be made to publicly execute these thugs who have been captured..."

Lancelot opened his mouth slightly... She has been protecting him personally, and it has been the past two years.

Most of the time, this queen is a friendly image...the image that the Chinese people need.

Even for her, after so long contact, the queen has mostly been calm, like a noble lady who doesn't understand anything and doesn't want to pay attention to anything.

But after all, she has experienced the baptism of war and is currently the longest reigning queen in the world...

"Oh, the performance has finally begun." Her Majesty the Queen suddenly picked up her glasses happily at this moment, "It's finally here."

She seemed unwilling to continue the previous topic, and her interest was already attracted by the slowly rising curtain.

Lancelot followed the Queen's gaze and looked at the stage below. At the same time, he subconsciously glanced at other places, but he didn't see the mysterious couple.

Behind Her Majesty the Queen, Lancelot took out the metallic rose, thoughtful.

At this time, everything was quiet, and on the stage, under the dim light, as the curtain rose, the voice of the prologue narration slowly sounded:

"Princess Turandot of the Fragrant Kingdom, as gorgeous as a peach blossom, as cold as ice. The grandson of the prince seeks the phoenix, and he is intoxicated by the sight of the phoenix. He is crazy about beauty. The single woman has a heart of iron, three difficult problems to test the son-in-law, and a butcher's knife shines coldly..."

……

Unlike the sound of stories intersected by brass, vocals and symphony orchestra performances on the stage, the rear of the stage is much messier.

Whether it is an actor who is about to go on stage, or an actor who has just stepped off the stage and is busy changing clothes, or an employee in charge of props, or a conductor backstage...everyone is in an urgent and tense atmosphere.

With the development of the plot, there are obviously more and more places that need to be taken into account.

"Caesar! Caesar? Can anyone tell me where Caesar is! He will be playing soon! Can anyone tell me if there is a missing actor?"

The experience of the theater troupe is like an ant on a hot pot right now—not to mention that he would be furious when he couldn't find an actor just before going on stage, not to mention that this is the most important male lead role?What's more, Her Majesty the Queen of Britain even came here in person today... If something goes wrong, he, the manager, doesn't have to do it.

"Didn't see it? Hurry up and get him back!!" The furious troupe manager said angrily, "3 minutes! I only give you 3 minutes. If you can't get him back, tell him not to come back!! Pie Stu, get ready, if Caesar doesn't show up within 3 minutes, you will replace him! Tonight you will be the hero!"

Temporary replacement, and the most important actor in the play, this is probably only better than screwing up the show... The manager of the troupe kicked the clothes hanger of the props indecently, "Hurry up and find it!!!"

……

failure.

failure.

Group off.

fail……

On the screen of the mobile phone, there are messages coming from the screen... The senders all have the same name: Dobas.

The man was silent from the beginning to the end - he was wearing a set of ancient Chinese costumes with strong western elements.

Caesar... the actor who played the leading role of Cabra in the Turandot Troupe.

Not only him here, but also another old man in the same costume - the actor who is the father of Prince Calaf in the play.

"Caesar, Dobas's information will not be wrong... We really failed this time." The old man's face was heavy, "Sure enough, the knight organization has opened Red's mouth! They already know Everything about us! How did they pry Red's mouth open in such a short period of time! That guy will keep his secret even if he dies!"

He with flaxen hair... Caesar slowly put on his hat, and he even prepared his makeup in front of the mirror, "Let's prepare for the last time, the performance will continue."

"Caesar! Most of our companions have been captured by the Knights! They may not all keep their mouths shut... You see, even Red has been pried open! Our whereabouts may have been leaked... Retreat, Caesar! We still have to You can accumulate strength and wait for the next opportunity."

He had already finished his makeup, and stood up, "Judas, do you...do you know why the Queen came to this theater suddenly today?"

"You...you did the backhand?"

Under the surprised gaze of the old man, Caesar pushed open the door and walked out.

……

On the stage side, 3 minutes had already passed, and even under the wrath of the troupe manager, another minute was delayed abruptly.

"I can't help it! Pastu, you play for me! Don't mess up the show, or I will definitely stab your ass with a wooden stick!"

The young man... the substitute's face was like a bitter gourd after being squeezed with salt powder—he was even pushed away by the troupe manager.

"Wait...Caesar shows up! Oh! God, he's on the field!"

This is not the Metropolitan version of Turandot, so the 'crowd crowd' tactic was not used... But there are actually quite a few actors of all kinds on the stage.

The lights moved to the center of the stage, and a handsome man walked down the steps on the stage slowly... He became the focus of everyone's eyes.

The music, under the conductor's baton, began to play - this is the first scene where Prince Calaf appears on stage, and it tells the scene where Prince Calaf unexpectedly reunites with his old father in the royal city.

Under the shining lights, His Royal Highness sang slowly in a low and then high-pitched voice:

— Be gone, night!
—The stars go down, the stars go down!

- I will win at dawn!

- I will win!
- I will win!
The piano pipe stopped, and the conductor's baton was also frozen in the air at this moment, as if it was difficult to wave it... The performance of the entire orchestra also stopped.

Under the surprised eyes of the audience, there was only the solo voice of the handsome man under the stage lights.

……

"...Is this the last part of 'Nessun Dorma'? Is Caesar crazy!" The manager of the troupe stood on the spot as if struck by lightning!

This guy, instead of following the script, sang the last few songs instead!

He just felt dizzy... At this moment, he no longer knew how to deal with this sudden crisis, "Oh, God, Pastu, knock me out with your wooden stick!"

"Where did I get the stick??"

……

"Lancelot, tell me, have I missed the previous chapters? If I'm not old-fashioned, this should be the later track."

During the dinner, the surprised Her Majesty put down her glasses and turned around in a daze - only to see that her guardian knight was not listening to the performance very attentively.

She just looked at the metal rose in her hand silently, as if she was distracted.

……

What to say.

Unlike the short-term confusion of many audiences, Boss Luo blinked his eyes in a corner of the public seats in the theater, then turned his head to look at his maid, and asked abruptly: "Do you think... am I really not suitable for walking around?" what."

The maid was almost expressionless, she just looked at the stage, her gaze moved slightly.

But at this moment, a large amount of smoke suddenly appeared around the stage... This is not a special effect of smoke, but a substance that can make people faint instantly after inhalation!
The spectators in the front row, who had inadvertently inhaled the gas, fell to their seats one after another - at this time, people began to panic.

They got up in fright, and screamed in fright—but, not only under the stage, but also at the vents around the ventilation ducts, at this time, a cloud of stunned mist emerged together.

The audience fell down one by one... On the stage, the actors had already passed out one step earlier, and naturally they also enveloped the people on both sides of the stage.

At this time, only the actor who played the role of Prince Calaf and the old man who played the role of the prince's father stood among the many fallen people as usual.

He still sings loudly:
——Fate, like the moon, is fickle, full and empty alternately;
—A hateful life that weaves misery and happiness;

——No matter the poor or the rich, they all melt and die like ice and snow.

——The terrible and empty wheel of fate, you turn mercilessly, you are vicious and cruel, destroy all happiness and good expectations, the shadow is shrouded in indistinctness, you also knock me down;
——When disaster strikes, my naked back is crushed mercilessly by you.

——Fate destroys my health and will, mercilessly strikes, brutally oppresses, and enslaves all my beings.

——At this moment, don't hesitate;
——For the most meaningless warrior who has been crushed by fate, let the strings be plucked and weep with me together!

stop.

……

The sound echoed in the theater, and the infested dense fog slowly sank, sank and then diluted in the air, gradually dissipating... Caesar breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a burst of clear applause resounded in the theater that seemed dead silent at this moment.

Everyone should have fainted... The moment the applause sounded, both Caesar and the old man beside him, Judas, followed the applause in surprise.

Among the people who fell down on the step-by-step seats, they could see two other people sitting on the seats, sober...

The applause came from the hands of one of the sober young men... Luo Qiu.

It wasn't just to use applause to attract the attention of the singer on the stage... Boss Luo's applause took a while to stop.

"Excuse me, next, is there any more?"
