Don't confiscate my citizenship

 Chapter 752 Lanci and Talia start to live together

the other side.

Thousands of kilometers away in the southwest is Brilda, the capital of Creation, and the bustling central city of Manhot.

 At night, Ranchi and Thalia were wandering in the wide central square of Broadway. The fountain in the center of the square shone brightly under the light.

 Overtaking lumbering traffic and passing the newly changed lights at the intersection—

They ran towards the Brilda Opera House. The five-story floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall of the majestic Creure modernist-style building of the Opera House gave off warm light, reflecting the huge poster "Jihad Romance - Gray" on the outer wall. Princess Chapter".

 “Hurry up, hurry up, or you won’t be able to catch up!”

 “It starts in about fifteen minutes.”

 Lanchi and Talia ran all the way over.

Gradually, you can see that the main building of the Brilda Opera House uses a large area of ​​​​beige sandstone exterior walls. Through the circle of glass curtain walls, you can see the magnificent hall inside.

At the entrance, there are five giant glass revolving doors and two sets of symmetrical circular fountain pools in front of the main entrance. The walls of the pools are made of brown granite, and the water columns rise and fall with the rhythm of the music.

The closer they got to the Brilda Opera House, the more traffic became snarled, but fortunately they both ran fast.

After sending Elsa and Ursula back to St. Creation's Monastery, Lanci turned around and hurried towards the Brilda Opera House in the central city of Brilda.

 Before setting off to St. Creation's Monastery, both he and Thalia underwent simple disguises.

Not only has Professor Landry been in the limelight recently, but also because of the blood clan’s spy, it is safest to prevent people from easily recognizing him as Professor Landry in the opera house, in case an imperial noble he knows comes to talk to him. , may also influence him to approach Abigail.

However, there is no problem with Lanci and Talia's identities in disguise. If they are interrogated, they can quickly become Landry and Landry's acquaintances.

The Creation Empire does not have the same laws and regulations that strictly prohibit the use of hidden magic to change races like the Protos Empire. Like some well-known figures, they are allowed to change clothes as needed.

Now they looked like a handsome black-haired man and a pretty gray-haired woman who had made an appointment to come to the Brilda Opera House to watch a play.

Approaching the opera house, Lanci and Thalia blended into the crowd of guests in the front square.

 Men wear well-tailored suits or tuxedos, with buttons shining with the warm color of brass and mother-of-pearl, while women wear fashionable and luxurious evening gowns, bejeweled and elegant.

“Actually, I have watched the previous one, but to be honest, today’s release is also highly anticipated.”

 “Will you come up with something new?”

“It’s unlikely, but we can’t rule out the possibility that some changes will be made to tonight’s performance.”

As Lanci and Talia walked forward, they heard people talking and laughing around them.

The sound of joy is full of longing for the artistic feast that is about to be tasted.

It was not surprising to them. From their understanding, the Brilda Opera House covers an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters, adopts a unique "garage" stage design, and has the most advanced stage magic machinery and sound system in the southern continent. , even the imperial people who live in Brilda will find the performances in this theater very rare.

Approximately 27 operas are performed each season, covering classical and modern works, making the opera house always busy during the performance season. Operas from the famous ancient writers of the empire, Wiltis and Puccinica to contemporary playwrights, are performed.

 It's just that they don't quite understand the difference between today's performance and the past.

 But I came in such a hurry tonight that I didn’t have time to understand.

　　The two people walked through the bright and spacious foyer in silence. The bright light in the theater greeted them. Lanci and Thalia quickly came to the ticket check-in office.

“You two are in VIP seats. Enter through door 1 and go straight along the right stairway to find your seat as quickly as possible.”

The staff looked at the tickets of the two people one by one, and then guided them into the Brilda Theater hall with standard and polite gestures.

"Thanks."

Lanchi took back the ticket stub, and walked through the thick and exquisitely carved double doors with Thalia, as if they had entered another time and space.

 The moment they entered the theater performance hall, they all relaxed.

 Luckily, we caught up, and it was almost ten minutes before we even left the venue.

 Lanchi and Thalia strolled up the marble stairs covered with thick red carpet.

Inside the opera house, chandeliers hang from the dozens-meter-high dome. Countless crystal clear crystals reflect the blurred light under the kiss of the light, scattering soft yet bright gratings on the burgundy carpet, weaving colorful patterns. dreamland.

Every few steps, smiling staff will guide guests to their seats diligently and thoughtfully.

“You have good time management and planning.”

Thalia found her position and complimented her male companion.

She didn't have anything to worry about tonight, whether it was finding the way or considering the time. Just like the previous date at Huadupalieu, she could just relax her mind and follow Lan Qi to enjoy a comfortable experience.

　　Although she had discovered Lan Qi's reliability when she was working with Nan Wantina, at that time she only regarded Lan Qi as her employer. Now she is convinced that Lan Qi is really a good travel companion.

“I’m never late. Students can be late, but the principal can’t.”

 Lanci took his seat at the beckoning call, holding his breath in the midst of the all-round sound din and jubilation.

 He did not forget business at all.

Lan Qi glanced at the VIP table casually.

There are many celebrities and dignitaries from Brilda's high society gathered there.

 Fortunately, the tickets they got now were purchased by Ursula, the daughter of the Roland family, and they were in the VIP area.

If Abigail will be in the audience to supervise as Barton said, then there is a high probability that she will be among this group of people.

 “Look, is it her?”

Suddenly, Talia's eyes were attracted by a figure in the distance. She touched Lan Qi's arm lightly, put her cheek close to Lan Qi, and motioned him to follow her gaze.

On the aisle seat near the wall, a figure was standing there alone, frowning and whispering, looking anxious.

She looks to be in her early twenties, with pure silver-gray hair cascading down like a waterfall. She is wearing a black off-shoulder evening gown. The well-cut fabric fits her slim figure, and a black gemstone necklace surrounds her. On her neck, it made her skin look fairer.

"It really all depends on you. I don't think this is my problem. If they can't meet my expectations, I will definitely have to catch them practicing. And in the end, they will only barely pass... How can I Knowing that their bodies suddenly couldn't hold on anymore? If I had known that, I would have scheduled a few episodes less. If that guy asked me to expand my influence, I would schedule so many episodes. The actors couldn't understand my thoughts at all..."

The woman in the black dress seems to be using communication magic, talking irritably, and stepping on her high heels from time to time.

But the scene was too noisy, with people chatting all around. Lan Qi and Talia, who were far apart, couldn't hear what she was talking about.

 “It’s true, let’s go quickly.”

Lanchi looked at it carefully and was surprised to be convinced that she was the director of this much-anticipated drama, the famous talented woman Abigail of the Creation Empire.

The other party seems to have a more grumpy temper than expected. It is hard to imagine that she is a royal magic craftsman who is regarded as a treasure by the empire's magic engineering community.

 “Would it be a little difficult to deal with?”

Thalia was worried that if she bothered Abigail who was in a very bad mood now, she would be rejected directly.

Although Abigail looked glamorous, there was a faint cloud of sadness on her face. She was holding a translucent purple communication magic card in her hand and pacing back and forth next to her seat.

They are not the only ones who want to find Abigail, but now everyone is wise enough not to take the initiative to approach Abigail.

"give it to me."

Lanchi nodded to Thalia confidently and exchanged a knowing look.

Thalia looked at him, feeling relieved.

Lanchi has always been good at communication.

Without any hesitation, Lanci and Talia immediately stood up and left the table, walking in the direction of Abigail.

As the two people gradually approached, Abigail raised her head and cast a doubtful look at them.

“Miss Abigail, we were introduced by an acquaintance...”

Lanqi spoke politely.

 Patton's name cannot be spoken in public, otherwise people will discover the partnership between Landry and Patton.

But Barton said that as long as he could be alone with Abigail and tell them that he was a friend introduced by Barton, Abigail would definitely give them face. Regardless of whether he agreed to cooperate with them or not, he would at least have a chance to negotiate.     “!”

Abigail’s eyes burst into light.

 She immediately hung up the communication magic and put down the magic card, as if she had seen a savior.

 “You are finally here!”

 She breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two of them.

 “Hey, did he contact you in advance?”

 Lanqi was a little surprised.

He remembered that Barton had Abigail's contact information, but he was reluctant to actively contact Abigail through communication magic.

So it turns out that Barton was still worried about them and helped them say hello to Abigail in advance?

"Of course! The traffic on the road is heavy, right? I'm so anxious, I thought you couldn't catch up!"

 Abigail nodded, the indifference and impatience on her face disappeared.

 “Follow me, follow me!”

She stretched out her hand to signal Lanci and Thalia to follow her, and walked towards the corridor inside the theater without looking back.

　　　…”

Neither Lanci nor Talia expected Abigail to be so enthusiastic.

Thalia doesn’t even understand why Lan Qi’s social skills are so strong. As long as he is sincere, he can immediately impress the other person?

The two of them felt that today was going too smoothly, and they didn't necessarily need to watch this play to be able to get alone with Abigail and discuss things well.

No matter what, they all moved forward first.

 Because Abigail had already disappeared at the end of the porch in a meteoric stride, she seemed to be more anxious than the two of them.

Abigail’s high heels hit the marble floor, making clear and frequent sounds.

 Ranch and Thalia didn’t know what was going on, and followed Abigail’s footsteps, walking through the aisles inside the theater.

In addition to the main stage, the opera house also has many rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, costume and prop production workshops and other supporting facilities.

Sometimes they turned into long, narrow and deep passages, sometimes they crossed into wide and bright halls.

 The staff members met on the road nodded to Abigail.

 Finally, a gray door appeared in front of you.

 “Please come in.”

Abigail opened the door with ease and gestured for Lanci and Thalia to come in.

"Thanks."

Lanchi and Thalia greet.

 At this point they probably have figured it out.

Sure enough, Mafia leader Barton Hall’s face is easy to use.

 Hand directly arranged a meeting with Abigail for them.

Abigail knew very well that she wanted to have a private chat with the two of them alone, so she eagerly brought them over.

Immediately, the two of them entered a spacious and orderly room.

 The room was brightly lit, and the mirror covered three walls. In front of the mirror were all kinds of cosmetics, wigs, and props. It was a dazzling array. There were several leather chairs covered with soft cushions in the center of the room.

 “Uh, Miss Abigail…”

 Lanqi looked at the room full of busy people in astonishment, pointed forward, and asked Abigail.

But Abigail had no time to pay attention to him. She greeted the two teachers quickly and explained a few words concisely.

 “Come here quickly, what are you doing standing around?”

The beautician nodded knowingly and immediately started to get busy.

They first dragged Lanci and Thalia to sit down in front of the mirror, and skillfully used the brushes, sponges and powder puffs in their hands to outline new contours on their faces.

The foundation shimmered softly under the light, and the eye shadow and blush complement each other, just like the paint in the hands of an artist, rendering Thalia's facial features even brighter.

As for men’s makeup, they pay attention to form and edge. They don’t need to use eye shadow. They only need to use the remaining powder to decorate the lower eye area. The makeup is much faster than Thalia.

“Perfect, your natural temperament and posture are like princes and princesses. You don’t need much modification to feel that you and the character are appropriate.”

Abigail looked at them with satisfaction and said confidently and satisfied.

From the first sight, she discovered that the actor her friend helped her find was far better than she imagined.

The two of them sat in front of the mirror in confusion, and were quickly put on makeup by the staff of the Brilda Opera House. Someone behind them brought the costumes wrapped in non-woven dress bags and waited for the makeup artist to finish the work. Give them a finished look.

"etc."

 Lan Qi immediately realized something was wrong, put his right hand on the back of the chair and turned around.

They and Abigail were chatting across servers just now, right? !

 “Whatever happens to you, I will try my best to satisfy you after the performance.”

Abigail looked at Lan Qi's nervous look, clasped her hands and asked.

She knows that such a temporary rescue performance will test the actor's skills and heart, but now she can only believe that the actor her friend found for her is reliable enough.

 After all, they said just now that they were introduced by a friend, so she must not have mistaken the person.

The whole makeup process was so smooth and orderly that Lanci and Talia felt like they were in a dream. Before they knew it, the makeup artists completed the final touches and rushed them to change clothes.

 “No, we...”

Lan Qi felt like he had something stuck in his throat. He now realized that the problem seemed a bit serious.

 “Aren’t you the actors introduced to me by my friends?”

　　Abigail observed the expressions of Lan Qi and Talia with some hesitation.

Her heartbeat also fluctuated with her exhalation, and it was visibly speeding up.

"ah?"

Thalia was also dumbfounded.

She seems to have heard that stage plays are highly choreographed.

 Could it be that the leading actor in this scene had a temporary health problem, and Abigail was looking for a friend to save the scene, and then misunderstood the two of them as actors introduced by their friends?

 “Ah what? Isn’t it?”

Abigail looked at the man and woman in front of her suspiciously.

 Everything went wrong tonight. If these two people were playing tricks on her, her mentality would almost explode.

 As the opening was approaching, she had no time to arrange the actors!

"us…"

Abigail's face turned sharply, as if she wanted to kill them, causing the words Lanqi and Talia were about to explain stuck in their throats.

According to Abigail's temper and state, if she explained the situation clearly now and asked to talk to her alone, she would only be permanently blocked and driven away by her angrily.

corresponding.

 Crisis or opportunity, it all depends on one thought!

 “We are the actors you are looking for, yes.”

Lanchi and Talia were forced by the high-pressure situation, and even though they were sweating profusely, they still agreed.
