Chapter 46 Greek Theater

==============================

The next morning, you opened your eyes on time.

'I agreed to sleep late, but I didn't expect to be unable to sleep at all. '

Lamenting the regularity of the biological clock, you simply wash up, and then enjoy a hearty breakfast in the restaurant downstairs.After dinner, as planned, you headed to the ruins of the ancient Greek theater with excitement.In the morning breeze at dawn, everything seems to be still intoxicated in the gentle night, and there are so few pedestrians on the road that add a sense of loneliness.

When you pass through the damaged entrance gate alone, this masonry building built on the hill will fully display its unique style: in a circular arc-shaped venue, auditoriums with clearly arranged seats in different levels surround the theater on three sides, spreading To the top of the ridge; the remaining side is a typical Greek-style stage, and most of the Scanna shed has been destroyed, leaving behind the shocking panorama of Taormina town; further away, Mount Etna and the seascape complement each other, Among the ruins, the unshaded exterior highlights the magnificence and vastness of the theater.

For a while, you have to marvel at the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients: this kind of theater looks like a lonely valley as a whole, but in actual use, it has achieved a near-perfect sound gathering effect, which allows the audience to enjoy in the era without speakers. Be able to indulge in the wonderful repertoire wantonly.

"I don't know, what kind of effect will it be to stage a drama here."

You caress the remains of the marble building fascinated, and imagine the ages past.

At this moment, a melodious Italian female voice echoed in the mist——

"Along the shore, cut through the clouds

The twin suns sink into the lake

long shadows fall

right there in Carcosa

The Wonderful Night of Black Star Rises

The Wonderful Moon that Runs in the Night

But even more amazing is that

The Lost Carcosa—”【Note [-]】

The words in the singing are surprisingly simple, and with your poor Italian level, you can even make out the general idea.This is probably an excerpt from a certain play, which praises the place called "Carcosa".

Thoughts are suddenly planned, but you don't feel lost.In fact, this unique [drama listening experience] is very close to your original fantasy.Ever since, your strong curiosity prompted you to follow the sound to go deeper into the stage.

As you walk, you raise your voice and ask:

"Sorry? Is there anyone practicing here?"

As soon as you make a sound, the other party immediately shuts his mouth.But how many places can hide in this empty and lonely ruins?You made up your mind to search, and after a while, behind a broken pillar, you caught a slender figure:

It was a girl who looked only in her twenties. She was wearing a passionate red dress, but she had a shy personality; your approach made her panic, and she almost retreated from the cliff on the edge of the theater under carelessness. up.

"careful!"

You quickly raised your hand and took two steps back, trying your best to stick the harmless to your face,

"I'm really sorry to disturb your practice, but I'm not a strange person, there is a cliff behind, please be careful."

After you stopped approaching, the other party just breathed a sigh of relief, and the amethyst-like eyes shimmered a little bit.

"...You, hello." The silver-haired girl was as timid as a baby bird, grabbing the hem of her long skirt and trying to force a smile, "...I'm sorry to disturb you...you are here to visit."

"It doesn't matter, it is my honor to appreciate your outstanding singing." You smiled and saluted, and briefly introduced yourself, "I am a traveler from the Far East, you can call me Daust, ma'am. "

"...I, I'm Hannah Pisri Jesso, a native of Sicily." The girl smiled shyly and relieved her nervousness a little, "You've praised me, my skills are still unfamiliar. If If you want to enjoy the performance, you have to go to the local theater troupe, and those outstanding sopranos will definitely satisfy you."

You don't agree with shaking your head: "But, they wouldn't sing under such a beautiful scenery, right? It's like going back to BC. This experience is really unforgettable."

Hearing this, the girl couldn't help laughing: "Now I believe you are a foreigner, Mr. Daust. No local will give this reason. After all, Taormina holds an opera festival every summer Ah. At that time, this Greco ancient theater will perform classic plays from all over the world."

Wow, embarrassing.

You are embarrassed to keep your nose in the dark, and you didn’t expect your reasoning to turn over in an unexpected place—after all, you are not a theater lover, and your understanding of the ruins of the Greek theater is limited to the travel brochure, which doesn’t mention the opera festival.It is estimated that this activity is more to attract fanatics, so the introduction of the Greco Theater focuses more on the historical value.

Sensing your uneasiness, the girl smiled considerately and changed the subject: "Are you planning to visit in the morning? Then, I recommend visiting Mount Etna first. Mr. Daust, the town here Shops and memorial halls will be open close to noon, and visiting the natural scenery in the morning is a better choice.”

"Oh! So that's the case, thank you very much, Ms. Jesso!" You suddenly realized, and finally figured out the reason why there were almost no pedestrians walking along the way just now, "So what about sea fishing? May I ask what you need to pay attention to in this regard? Is it?"

"...Well, you can hire a local guide. If you have driving experience, renting a small boat alone is also a good choice." The silver-haired girl thought seriously, and then gave her own suggestion, "If you plan to enjoy the sea view, There is no need to rent a speedboat; but if it is for sea fishing, the type of boat needs to be carefully selected.”

"It's really reliable, so do you have anyone to recommend?" Without bothering the two masters, you think the girl in front of you is quite reliable, so you simply send out an invitation, "I plan to go fishing with my friends the day after tomorrow, so I want to make an appointment in advance A reliable helper."

Hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up immediately.After all, sea fishing guide is a leisurely and safe part-time job: you can get a lot of money without wasting too much time, which is far more cost-effective than fishing.If you recommend this job to your friends in the town, you will definitely be appreciated by others, right?

But soon, the light in her eyes went out.

The girl smiled wryly twice, unwilling to reject your invitation: "Sorry, Mr. Daust, the partners I know don't have time recently. Everyone is busy preparing for this show, alas, you still have to be the navigator Ask the hotel to contact them, they all have contracts with skilled fishermen, except for a little more expensive, others are pretty reliable."

"Drama? Are you talking about the excerpt you just sang?" Once you heard that the hotel reservation service is reliable, you don't go into the relevant matters anymore, presumably he would not mind paying the fee.At present, you are more curious about the "drama" in the girl's mouth, "I may not be very good at drama, but from my point of view, it really sounds good! Where are you going to stage it? I can also talk to Companion to cheer together."

Embarrassed by your praise, Hannah covered her face with her hands and said in a low voice, "No, there is no formal performance venue, Mr. Daust." Her ears were red and she was a little shy, "It's all us These fans are practicing privately, and they plan to secretly perform a simulated performance here in the evening after three days. After all, relying on strength, I guess it is impossible to perform in the ancient theater of Greco in this life! This time, the props and costumes should also be thanked A distant relative's sponsorship, otherwise, everyone would not recommend me as the heroine."

"Don't say that, at least from the impression just now, your heroine is well-deserved." The morning fog has cleared, and the small town in the distance is also filled with cooking smoke. You glanced at your watch, Smiling and promised, "Then, I will come to watch the show specially at that time, and I look forward to your wonderful performance! See you then, Ms. Jesso."

For the next full day, you visited the volcano and the town separately as suggested.When the lights were dimmed, you returned to the hotel with still unfinished business.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will bump into the old man who talked to you yesterday in front of the door - he is leaning against the front desk alone, his crutches are leaning against the stone countertop, and his right leg is lightly tapping the beat.

"What a coincidence, young man." Just as you were about to sneak around the other party, the old man greeted him briskly, "How is your day? Does the pearl of Taormina make you linger?"

"As you said, the reputation is well-deserved." You responded with a polite smile.

At the same time, you recalled the girl's suggestion, and simply stopped at the front desk, planning to wait for the staff to come back and make an appointment for the yacht service for the day after tomorrow.But when you approached, a strong and strange smell came from the opponent, probably the enhanced version of the fishy smell of sea oysters?

You hesitated for a moment, and just as you were about to speak, the other party waved his hand in embarrassment and explained: "Sorry, young man. Today we went fishing in the sea, and we accidentally indulged in it all day. Alas, the taste is indeed a bit..."

"It doesn't matter. In fact, I plan to try it the day after tomorrow." You were taken aback by the coincidence, and then smiled, "Look, didn't I just make an appointment?"

"So that's how it is." Hearing what you said, the dimples on the old man's face seemed to relax a bit. He let go of his hand on the crutch, slowly took off his glasses, and wiped them twice. "Then you must be careful. It’s safe, the coast is okay, but there are many dangerous creatures in the deep sea.”

When he said this, the old man's blue eyes radiated a deep light, and his tone was stubborn and enthusiastic, as if interpreting some truths that others did not understand.Inexplicably, this attitude makes you feel very uncomfortable.

Just at this moment, a female voice came in and interrupted your conversation——

"Mr. Zane, you are joking again, our sea fishing service is very safe!" Holding a rectangular box wrapped in oil paper in both hands, the staff who finally came back stared at the old man and shook his head in disapproval, "Wan It would be too bad if Mr. Dowster misunderstood, please don't trouble our work. Here, here is the package you mentioned, which was delivered just this morning."

While talking, while delivering the package to the old man, the lady turned her head curiously and asked you:

"Please ask Mr. Sturt, what do you need?"

"...Ah, I just came to book the sea fishing for the day after tomorrow, and a small yacht is fine." You regained your senses in an instant, focusing on the business of booking a fishing boat.

Mr. Zane also quickly laughed and apologized for his prank.

But from the corner of your eye, you can clearly see that when Mr. Zane picked up the box, he showed a not-so-obvious, slightly fanatical grin...

The author has something to say:

I am a chatterbox of nightmares during a nap at noon, I made up the Cthulhu Mythos, and then I had QAQ nightmares.The annotation is quoted from a certain book, ahem, ahem, so I won’t go into details.
