Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 249 04.0248: ‘Sit! Please sit! Please take a seat!’

It was evening when Horatio and Louise set out on their way back.

The haze became thicker as the night fell, as if a thick curtain gradually enveloped the surface of the earth, casting a strange haze over the originally gorgeous and lively world of Abyss Port.

With the recent frequent disappearances, fewer and fewer people were walking on the promenade.

Many people stayed indoors, intending to avoid this wave of turmoil, lest they never come back after going out.

The hovercraft passed by ‘The Prosperity of the Reflection’, which is said to be one of the largest and most luxurious opera houses on the planet. The main theater can accommodate 30,000 listeners, and even among the wealthy class on the planet, it is hard to get a seat.

It is hard not to notice it, after all, the huge propaganda screen that can be seen throughout the Central Business District (CBD) is one of the many landmark buildings standing in the Throne District.

Its countless flashing picture tubes formed a screen, showing the opera played today - "Indigo Elegy".

The leading actress is the hottest and most popular star in Abyss Port, actress Anna Fei, and this drama is another of her masterpieces.

She is also Thei's idol. Thei said that he has watched every scene of the drama performed by this actress herself.

This legendary actress is famous for compiling scripts and performing tragedies in person. She is versatile and writes, directs and performs by herself.

In her works, even comedies, the ending is usually a wake-up call of joy and sadness, so as to achieve a thought-provoking and introspective effect that makes the audience feel deeply.

The opera output is high-quality and prolific, so she is known as a treasure-level actress in the star field culture. Wherever the troupe she leads goes, it will receive countless flowers and praises.

The planetary governors of countless planets have extended olive branches just for such legendary actresses to visit their planets and perform a scene.

This is the last two weeks of her tour in Abyss Harbor, and the theater has also put on the first PV of her new work.

Judging from the scrolling subtitles on the poster, the content of this "Indigo Elegy" tells the story of a young man sentenced to death who is caught in a huge conspiracy. The evil priest wants to use him to create a conspiracy that sweeps the world. But then, the young man successfully rescued the noble vigilante girl who was responsible for escorting him, and with her help, he was able to clear his grievances and eventually became a naval officer.

Just when everything seemed to be heading towards a happy ending, an accident happened.

The girl's father, who was also the boss of the male protagonist, was assassinated, and the beautiful future collapsed in an instant. Then, the mastermind behind all this began to officially surface and frequently made moves, and the situation between the two took a sharp turn for the worse.

The young man and the female noble parted ways and embarked on their own paths of revenge.

After the young man made great efforts, the mastermind behind the scenes had to use hidden means to seize the body of an "apostle girl" with extremely strong psychic power and inject her soul into a purple gem.

This was a huge disaster that was enough to destroy the entire world and the star zone fleet. The young man and the noblewoman finally met again and stood together in front of the real enemy.

Although after a hard battle, they worked together to kill the priest and destroyed the gem.

However, due to the terrible corrosion of the gem, the young man had been infected by the young woman who was an untouchable before he arrived.

Facing him who was contaminated, the noblewoman who was an untouchable had to kill him with her own hands under the questioning and request of the young man.

The final ending of the story followed the consistent style of Anna Fei's tragedy of double suicide.

The helpless and lonely noblewoman became a hero who saved the star zone and the fleet, but compared with the empty and exaggerated glory.

Her sadness had completely made her lose the motivation to live. Finally, one night before the grand celebration ceremony, she grabbed the token given to her by the young officer, cut her artery, and her blood dyed the gem earrings red, and the whole play ended.

The plot summary information on the scrolling subtitles sign is almost a true portrayal of his arrival in this world in the first half. All these things seem to whisper to him and call for his arrival.

"Louise." Horatio called softly.

"Hmm?"

"I've been tired enough recently. Do you want to watch an opera to rest for the rest of the day?" Horatio narrowed his eyes.

Louise instantly perked up.

For her who had hardly left the barracks, opera was a curious new thing.

"No problem, if you are free."

"Of course, I'm free now."

--

Horatio parked the car and took Louise to the bustling hall. Looking around, the hall was decorated with gold and jade. Everyone here was well-dressed. They were all part of the wealthy class on the planet, including nobles, senior officials of the Ministry of the Interior, and officers and lieutenants of the Imperial Navy.

The actress has a peculiar rule that the ticket is tied to the ticket buyer, and no one can enter unless they are in person. Those wealthy people who are only rich but not prominent can only spend a huge amount of money to queue up in person to see the popular superstars, and tickets are hard to come by.

Just as Horatio was about to go in, a waiter in a black tuxedo stopped him and Louise.

"Welcome, gentlemen and ladies. I'm glad you're here, but this theater has a rule that you need to wear formal clothes to enter." The waiter said politely with a stern face and a somewhat indifferent and alienated business smile.

"Yes, Horatio. We haven't changed out of the civilian clothes we were wearing to go to the orphanage."

Louise looked at her shirt and black trench coat, leaned close to Horatio and whispered.

Although their outfits are not bad, they are even quite youthful and fashionable for these two handsome men and beautiful women.

But it is indeed not formal enough and would appear too low-key and frivolous on important occasions.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Horatio looked very calm.

He took out his Imperial Navy officer ID card from his pocket and handed it to the waiter.

Of course, even commissioned lieutenants have to queue up here, and with their status as acting lieutenants, they will definitely not get special treatment.

Therefore, he took out the heraldic ring with the Corcoran family. This was not just a ring, it had a unique anti-counterfeiting holographic image built into it, which contained the family pedigree sorted out by the Heraldry Management Department of the Ministry of the Interior and the Sisters of the Order of Sisters.

This is not only to clarify the bloodline inheritance of the imperial nobles, but also a means for Terra to control the imperial nobles.

Horatio slid his finger and flipped to the top, where the words 'Legendary Imperial Admiral Speyer' suddenly appeared.

Seeing this line of writing and the official seal of the empire, the waiter's expression suddenly changed. He winked and asked the waiter next to him to inform the lobby manager to come over.

Not long after, a fat man wearing a mechanical monocle walked up to him with a cane.

"Oh, two distinguished guests, what happened?" The man leaned forward slightly and turned his glasses. A convex mirror protruded from the inside and automatically aimed at the ring of a member of the Corcoran family. The projected words were reflected in his eyes. eyes.

The man took a sharp breath and ordered the waiter: "Please bring the general manager quickly."

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly led the two of them from the queue in the crowded lobby to the soft seats in the VIP waiting area. He called the maid next to him to bring tea and water, and he personally accompanied them.

Many ladies in the queue saw the two men and women just wearing shirts and windbreakers. They looked like middle-class civilians. They looked very awkward and shabby among all the evening gowns. However, they were invited to the VIP seats. They couldn't help but start talking. Or they might frown and complain to their husbands that they still have to wait in line here.

However, as the most high-end theater, their queue cannot really burden the most distinguished group of people on the planet by standing. The so-called queue actually has seats.

The queue is divided into several rows just like an ordinary theater auditorium, with a waiter channel reserved in the middle. Standard drinks and desserts are provided at any time, but it is not as luxurious and extreme as the booths in the VIP area and the booths in separate private rooms.

After a while, the general manager of the theater arrived. Horatio took out a blank check stamped with Admiralty gold powder paint from his trench coat pocket, placed it gently on the table, and asked: "Hello, how much is the ticket price?"

The general manager personally held the ring that had been verified for authenticity in the office and presented it with both hands. The corners of his mouth were raised like his mustache, and he sighed with a smile on his face:

"Oh, if you, a distinguished guest like you, want to watch the show, just say hello to us in advance. If we talk about vulgar things in front of you, wouldn't it make our "Hengsheng Ying" look too out of style?

As a descendant of the legendary Admiral Speyer, it is our greatest honor to have you here. Please collect your check and I will send you to the VIP room with the best view. You two, please come with me. "The general manager pinched his mustache, smiled and respectfully invited the two of them to go up to the second floor of the theater from the dedicated VIP passage, and arranged for several young and beautiful professional maids to serve them specially.

"Facing the stage, the exhibition hall with the best view. Sir, can I take a photo with you and your wife for publicity." The shrewd general manager did not want to miss this opportunity to drop GG.

Think about it, if you are a descendant of the legendary admiral of the Imperial Navy or the Gothic Fleet, can you do well in the future?

He is so young, probably less than 20 years old. He has already become an acting lieutenant when he first joined the army. How promising will he be in the future?

Moreover, the presence of the descendant of the legendary Admiral Speyer can already become a gimmick in their theater. Compared with the reputation of the iron-clad Admiral Speyer, who is known to everyone, the flowing planetary governor His Excellency What does the "honorable surname and great name" mean?

The general manager felt elated and almost made himself beautiful to death.

When she heard the word 'ma'am', Louise's cheeks suddenly turned slightly red.

She was about to explain something, but after opening her red lips slightly, she failed to make a sound, and then closed them again, puckering her lips in embarrassment.

If he stood up to deny the lady's statement now, wouldn't it be equivalent to pouring a basin of ice water on Horatio's head, only to make this compliment fail to stand up and make everyone embarrassed?

And somehow the title 'Mrs'... sounds surprisingly comfortable?

"Next time, we just finished a plainclothes mission this time, and we just came out to relax. It's not convenient. Next time I will wear a dress, and then I will bring my 'lady' to watch the show." Horatio was slightly taken aback. He didn't deny it and just followed the general manager's words.

[! ] Louise opened her eyes wide when she heard this, glanced at Horatio, and her cheeks turned redder.

"Oh, you still plan to come to our theater. This is really our greatest honor. This is my business card. Contact me directly next time. I will make all the arrangements for you without any hassle on your part. "The general manager understood immediately, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He held the business card in his hands, turned to Louise and flattered:

"Madam, on behalf of all the staff of the theater, I sincerely hope that you will have fun here tonight. If you have any needs, you can contact them directly. I wish you a pleasant viewing of the play."

"Ah! Okay, thank you! Thank you very much for your hospitality!" Louise's small theater in her mind was interrupted, and she replied with a smile in a flustered manner. She straightened her chest and almost instinctively wanted to salute in her helplessness.

This made the maids next to her start to guess in their minds what kind of professional identity this "noble lady" who was extremely lucky to marry into a top wealthy family had before.

She also looked like a supremely honored Imperial Navy soldier. After all, naval officers should rarely marry "mud legs" of the Imperial Guard. (People on the Naval Port Anchorage Planet have some prejudice against the Imperial Guard, and this prejudice often comes from the different combat environments.)

Louise, who always has a reliable and royal temperament, actually showed this flustered look, which looked unexpectedly cute.

Horatio couldn't help but chuckle.

Although he usually doesn't like to show off his birth and identity, it turns out that at least his ancestor's reputation is still very useful in the Gothic Star Region.

"Please take a seat. We have been standing here for a long time. The prologue will start soon. We will not disturb you from now on. If you need anything, just press the button on the armrest of the throne recliner. Our service staff will come immediately to serve you! I wish you two a happy movie!"

Tomorrow will be the third update. The fourth volume has been written. The fourth volume will be finished by the end of this month. The fifth volume will be written today.
