Chapter 2632: Acquaintance at the Concert
But after getting on the carriage, Miss Winslet, who had seemed a little unhappy just now, enthusiastically introduced the identities of the musicians who would perform on stage today and her friendship with them.

"I don't quite understand. The Music Hall and the Accordion Hotel are on the same street. Is it necessary for us to take a carriage?"

Shade sat in a row with Miss Danister, opposite Miss Bell.

It was still the witch who answered this question:

"Don't be silly. If you walk to a concert, you'll be laughed at. When Carina took you to the opera in Tobesk, did you two walk along the street?"

The Golden Music Hall in Vista City is not an independent building. There are multiple concert halls in the building, with the main hall "Golden Hall" as the center. In addition to many small concert halls, there are also some office spaces and a famous exhibition hall inside.

The Golden Concert Hall, which was rebuilt from the central hall of the ancient temple, has a total of 2017 seats and 300 standing places. Taking safety into consideration, it can accommodate up to 2300 spectators at a time.

The concert hall is equipped with luxurious and exquisite boxes, which are located on the upper floor of the hall. However, most of those boxes are open to royal members or nobles from Willendel, so for "ordinary people", how to choose seats has become a science.

Miss Winslet's status did not allow her to use those boxes unless she was willing to show Margaret's letters to her, but that was not worth it at all.

When the carriage carrying four people stopped at the "four-leaf clover petal" shaped square, the gas street lamps had already illuminated the exterior wall of the concert hall and the floor tiles of the square in a golden color, and the lady with her long hair tied up was still explaining in detail:

“The most expensive and best seats are naturally those close to the stage, which are the seats downstairs surrounding the three sides of the stage.
As for the seats upstairs, they are called balconies. The Golden Music Hall in Vista City has three floors of balconies. The balconies are relatively narrow, but the balconies in each area also have their own advantages, depending on the instruments played by the orchestra. "

Miss Danister smiled as she listened to her talk, while Miss Bell stood behind them somewhat stiffly. And Shade, who got off the carriage first, raised his head and looked at the three full moons in the starry sky.

With every breath he took, he felt his spirit and elements becoming more and more active. He even felt that even if he did nothing at this moment, he would be able to enter the best combat state immediately.

The starry sky and the moon phase would certainly affect the ring sorcerer who was good at moon spells, but he had never felt this way on those full moon nights before:

"During the Moon Dance Festival last year, I was dealing with the life and death situation in the Midhill Castle area. I didn't have this feeling at that time."

Miss Winslett's tickets were not purchased, but given to her by the Vestal City Hall, which was a great honor for her as a musician. The seats for four people were very good, in the seventh row facing the stage. Although not in the center, it didn't make much difference.

Shad sat closest to the red carpet aisle. The three ladies sat down on his right side one by one, and next to Shad was the red-haired girl.

"By the way, I've always heard that Miss Winslet is a musician, but is she a singer, conductor, or composer?"

Shad was still shy to ask Miss Danister, who was looking at the interior of the concert hall which seemed to be covered with gold after the gas lamps were turned on.

Magnificent and magnificent, no matter who sees it for the first time, they will be shocked by its luxury and solemnity. This is not only due to the kronor spent on decoration and the designer, but also to the structure of this ancient building itself.

The overall layout of the hall is rectangular, and the ceiling is extremely high. When you sit on the seats on the ground floor and look up, you will even feel a sense of suffocation. The ceiling is decorated with exquisite neoclassical reliefs, and several huge crystal chandeliers are hung in the center, shining brightly and casting warm golden light.

The walls are also divided into multiple layers, each with different pilasters and carvings, and golden decorations throughout.

The auditorium where everyone sat was wrapped in red velvet, which was both comfortable and elegant. Although Shade could not see the private interior of the upper-level box, he could still see the golden railings and heavy red curtains.

"Flora is more famous for her piano playing and composing. When I was waiting for you to come to the study with her, she said that she performed a piano piece on stage at last year's Moondance Festival concert."

Miss Danister answered. The witch on the right was still discussing the issue of skirts with her apprentice. After hearing Miss Danister's answer, she smiled and asked Xia De:

"You don't think the piano in my room is just a decoration, do you?"

The Moondance Festival Concert is the opening ceremony of the week-long Moondance Festival. In addition to the music performances, there will also be dance performances, which Shad had heard about from the coachman a few days ago.

There was a program on each seat, so before waiting for the show to start, Shad looked at the program order with great interest and discussed it with Miss Danister from time to time.

Miss Winslet, on the other hand, had it not so easy. She had to stand up frequently and greet various acquaintances of hers, including musicians, critics and a small number of journalists, as well as friends and relatives she had known as a teenager growing up in Willendel.

For example, Earl Lewis, who brought his whole family to Vista City, his wife actually called Miss Winslet "cousin". It turns out that the relationship between relatives of the great nobles is so complicated.

The Earl of Lewis, Shad, was no stranger to him. In the early stages of the Green Lake negotiations, it was this earl who led a delegation to Tobesk to discuss the specific details of the negotiations with Delarion. At that time, the Tobesk Riding Tournament (1854) happened to be held in the spring of 1546.

Earl Lewis obviously did not recognize Shad's disguised face. He just exchanged a few words with Miss Winslet with his family and then sat down nearby.

Soon, Shad met an acquaintance, but it was certainly not Margaret. Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess condescended to visit the local area, she would not sit down and listen to the concert.

The men wearing monocles were the twin sons of Marquis Foran of Willendel, Eric Foran and Charles Foran, who came together. They also wanted to greet Miss Winslet, but then they saw the back of Shade, who was sitting one seat away from the lady with gray-black hair.

Even before they saw his face, the two brothers who were walking forward on the red carpet immediately froze.

Similarly, Shade also felt the gaze behind him. He turned around and saw Megan and Audrey's two cousins ​​whom he had not seen since the "family banquet" at Green Lake.

Megan and Audrey are the fifth generation of the family, and are the daughters of Alphonse, the third son of the fourth generation; while the two brothers are the grandsons of Edward, the second son of the fourth generation. During the Moon Bay incident not long ago, Shade also met their mother Nadia Foren of the Dragon Feast Cult, who provided the exact time of the descent of God.

After the Moon Bay God War, Xia De also inquired about the whereabouts of Ms. Fulun, but he only knew that she was not caught by the church.

The three of them looked at each other under the crystal chandelier. The two brothers, feeling a little embarrassed but more nervous, wanted to say hello, but immediately remembered that their identities as ring sorcerers had been known by the church, so it was obviously not appropriate for them to come into contact with Shade in such a public place.

So they just nodded to Shad, said a few words to Miss Winslet a little nervously, and left.

The Foran family is not related to the Winslet family, but as newspaper tycoons, the Winslet family has frequent dealings with Marquis Foran, so it is proper courtesy for them to come and say hello.

As for Miss Danister, she didn't see anyone she knew, but she obviously recognized the Forlan brothers and then smiled at Shade.

In addition to their acquaintances, they also saw the Bennet family. However, the Bennet family's seats were relatively far back, so they did not see the people in front of them.

Shad looked back and found that the people who appeared this time were the Bennets, their eldest daughter Jane, their second daughter Philly and their third daughter Linda.

This was the first time Shad had met Linda Bennet, but he had seen her photo because the witch followers were still investigating the Bennet family.

Linda Bennett is 19 years old this year. She is wearing a blue dress and light makeup, and she is talking excitedly with her two sisters. It is said that the three young girls have inherited the beauty of Mrs. Bennett when she was young, so they have attracted the attention of many young people. Linda Bennett should be regarded as the most eye-catching one among the three sisters.

"Did you bring the [Family Stabilizer]?"

Although the three sisters look very similar, and also look very similar to the Bennets, Shad decided to confirm it because of the Cumming family incident.

"Of course I brought it. It seems that I can't do without it when I'm in Riverwood Town now."

The red-haired girl took out the red monocle and put it in Xia De's hand. Xia De put it on carefully and turned his head to take a look:
"No problem. The three of them are sisters, and they are all daughters of the Bennets. There are five children in the family, so why did they only bring three to the concert? With the financial resources and local reputation of the Bennet family, they shouldn't be unable to get tickets, right?"

"Their little daughter is going to perform on stage. She's an excellent violinist. Their little son broke an antique vase in the house because he was playing around. He's under house arrest tonight, so he didn't come with them."

The witch, who had found some free time, replied that this was apparently what her followers had investigated:

"By the way, Baron Cumming had also bought tickets. But after all this, he and James Cumming, who had just broken up, obviously didn't want to come to the concert. I just don't know what Baroness Cumming thinks. That cheating woman knows nothing about anything."
