The Necromancer in the Wizarding World
Chapter 12 Opera: Arianna
When the little slave saw Matthews taking another step forward, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged, "Master, please buy me! I am willing to do any job and I will be very obedient!" His voice trembled, full of despair and pleading.
Since being enslaved, the little slave's life has been full of endless pain and torture, and his body and spirit have been devastated. The young figure of Matthew in front of him is like a ray of hope in the dim light, and he longs to be rescued from the dire straits.
Matthews had no complete plan for how to deal with the slave. Caron watched quietly, without saying a word, patiently waiting for Matthews' decision.
Matthews had an elusive smile on his face, as if he was planning something unspeakable. He asked coldly, "Very obedient? If I asked you to die, would you do it?"
The little slave was a little dazed for a moment, but soon recovered from the shock. He raised his head, looked directly into Matthews' eyes, and answered firmly: "Master, even if it means death, I am willing to follow you. I only ask you to save me from this hellish place."
"Remember what you just said and everything that happened today!" Matthews threw two silver coins to the slave trader without hesitation, then turned and left.
Caron followed closely behind, took the little slave's indenture, and urged him to speed up so as not to be left behind by Matthews.
After buying the slaves, Matthews decided to leave the place immediately. Although the slave market was bustling with people, the air was filled with an unpleasant atmosphere, and it was obviously not a place suitable for staying for a long time.
Matthews and Guard Caron brought the little slave back to the Earl's Palace. Matthews immediately ordered the butler to give the new member a thorough wash and prepare servant clothes, food and accommodation for him.
Matthews didn't care about the little slave's past, he thought it was just boring gossip. So he decided to give the little slave a brand new name: "I don't want to know what your name was before, from today on, your name is Trump."
Matthews then gave instructions: "Now, your duty is to take care of my horses. I want to remind you not to forget your previous promise." There was an elusive depth in his eyes, which made people wonder if he might have an unknown plan behind him.
Trump bowed his head to show his understanding, and responded with gratitude: "Yes, thank you for giving me a new name, young master. From now on, I am Trump." His tone revealed his respect and loyalty to Matthews, and he was also full of expectations for future life.
Matthews was exhausted; he had spent a busy day in Cania and needed rest to restore his spirit and physical strength.
The next morning, with an infinite yearning for art, Matthews prepared to go to the Grand Opera House that Caron highly recommended. He was eager to personally experience the artistic atmosphere and wonderful performances there to enrich his spiritual world.
Caron knew the opera house well, and he introduced its uniqueness to Matthews in detail. The opera house is not only magnificent in appearance, but also famous for its exquisite performances and gorgeous stage design. Every opera performed here brings together talented performers and musicians from all over the world, who together create an unparalleled artistic feast.
After listening to Caron's introduction, Matthews was full of anticipation for the upcoming trip to the opera house. He couldn't wait to see the gorgeous stage, listen to the moving singing, and feel the unique artistic charm.
Caron has carefully prepared tickets for Master Matthews to attend the opera "Arianna" this morning. This work has been widely praised and is hailed as a classic that should not be missed. Caron believes that through the beautiful melody and gripping plot of this opera, Matthews can temporarily forget the troubles of yesterday, immerse himself in the ocean of art, and enjoy an audio-visual feast.
Matthews found a seat in the middle of the back row in the opera house. This choice allowed him to enjoy the performance on the stage from all angles, whether it was the wide scenery or the superb acting skills of the actors. In addition, he would have the opportunity to observe the structure of the entire theater and the scene changes. For Matthews, this viewing experience is unique, and he can feel the charm of the opera more deeply, thus obtaining a more complete and three-dimensional artistic enjoyment.
As the stage lights gradually dimmed, the actors entered their roles and the musicians began to play their instruments. The violins were deep and magnetic, the flutes were crisp and melodious, the drums were steady and powerful, and the phoenix harp had a unique charm. These instruments intertwined to form a moving overture, setting the tone for the entire opera.
Matthews stared at the stage intently, feeling the unique charm of each instrument and how they worked together to create an intoxicating atmosphere. The music reverberated in the theater, blending perfectly with the actors' performances, making Matthews feel as if he were in a dream world.
As the plot unfolds, the music is sometimes passionate and sometimes gentle, adding more emotional colors to each plot. Matthews was deeply attracted by the power of this art, and he felt that his soul was greatly nourished and satisfied.
In the play, a beautiful girl named Arianna falls in love with a handsome young man named Alkan. However, her father betroths her to another nobleman for the benefit of the family. In the festive atmosphere of the wedding, Alkan suddenly appears. He cannot bear the pain of losing Arianna and tries to take her away. This action causes chaos and eventually leads to tragedy.
In the chaos, Arianna's fiancé died, and Alkan was arrested. In order to save her beloved Alkan, Arianna made a brave decision-she volunteered to accept the death penalty.
At the execution ground, Arkan witnessed Arianna's sacrifice, and his heart was overwhelmed by endless grief and despair. In the end, he chose to commit suicide for love, and walked into eternal darkness with Arianna.
Although Arianna's death was heartbreaking, her purity and courage moved the gods, and eventually the souls of Arianna and Alkan were reunited in heaven.
Matthews was deeply attracted by the opera, which, although depicting a story full of sadness and pain, brought the ultimate sensory enjoyment. The creators skillfully combined classic melodies with touching plots, and constructed a perfectly harmonious artistic world, allowing the audience to be touched by the emotions in the play while enjoying the music.
Matthews was still immersed in the opera and staggered out of the opera house, becoming the last person to leave. He lamented the profound musical instruments and musical heritage on earth, and regretted that he had never had the opportunity to appreciate such a soul-stirring art feast.
Matthews seemed to be sleepwalking until he bumped into a boy. From the boy's clothes, he was obviously from a noble family. He immediately apologized to the boy: "Sorry, I was distracted just now and bumped into you accidentally. Please forgive me!"
However, the attendant beside the noble boy questioned angrily: "Boy, you are in big trouble! Do you know who you bumped into? Do you think a simple apology can get you away with it?"
Matthews replied nonchalantly: "I'm really sorry, it's just that the opera is really something I can't stop thinking about."
Although he deliberately kept a low profile and simplified his attire, his calm and confident temperament and fearless attitude towards power still inadvertently revealed himself, which attracted the attention of the noble boy. The boy looked at Matthews curiously and seemed to have a strong interest in him.
