Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 121 New Opera
On the gray-collar stage, Keith is performing hard.
Even though he was trying hard, Chris actually acted very easily. Wasn't it just a natural performance with a little bit of exaggeration?
Keith, who already loved opera, quickly put himself into the role of the moneylender.
The old white-headed man, played by another veteran actor, hugged Chris's legs and begged him to relax the deadline and promised to pay back the compounded interest.
But Keith forced the old actor's hand to press his fingerprint on the contract of selling the old white-haired daughter. The youngest daughter, played by Graya, became Keith's slave.
That’s right, this play was adapted from The White-Haired Girl. Lind changed some details to make the play more in line with the times.
The lender who caused the plague was very similar to the demons in the royal capital, while the one who exploited the people had some shadow of the nobility. Almost everyone in the audience had encountered a character similar to the lender.
The youngest daughter played by Graya and her father, Old Whitehead, are the epitome of countless people.
When the plot entered the second half, Graya, with gray hair and sores all over her body, could only hide in a cave, while Keith on the other side was living a life of debauchery. Even with the soldiers helping to maintain order, there was still a strong roar from the audience.
"Beat him! Beat him!"
"Revenge for the old white-head!"
"Public trial, quick public trial!"
Chris, who was still performing on the stage, was frightened by the roar from the audience, but he still maintained his basic qualities as an actor and even acted more vigorously.
The dirty eyes and lewd smile made the audience in the audience anxious and they wanted to tear Keith apart on the spot.
Fortunately, the human wall formed by the soldiers blocked the angry spectators.
Although the tragedy was more unforgettable, Lind still preferred a happy ending, so there were not many changes to the ending. In the end, the youngest daughter's childhood sweetheart joined the resistance army, defeated the lender, the lender was put on trial, and the youngest daughter also got a perfect ending.
After the show was over, Chris quickly removed his actor's makeup backstage. If he had just put on simple makeup like other actors, Chris would probably have been stuck in traffic before he could even get out of the backstage.
"Ms. Graya, it's an honor. I have always, always admired your opera!"
Although they had performed together several times, this was the first time Keith mustered up the courage to talk to Graya.
"Thank you. You are very talented. As long as you work hard, you will be able to catch up with the professionals soon."
Graya nodded, which was considered as her recognition of Keith. This was not just a compliment. Keith was indeed more suitable to be an opera singer than a city defense general.
The two exchanged some ideas, and Graya also gave some guidance on Keith's singing and pronunciation.
After chatting with his idol, Keith put on his hat and scarf, then left the backstage with the staff, feeling satisfied.
There is no way. The response to this drama is too enthusiastic. If the actor who plays the villain does not find a chance to leave alone, he will probably be thrown rotten eggs by irrational audiences.
Keith, who was among the staff, looked at the crowd gathered around the theater and felt that these gray-collar workers did not look like they were at war at all.
If it were in other territories, once a war broke out, there would be basically no men to be seen in the territory, but Gray and White Territory was not only still crowded with people, but even the Governor-General had the leisure to compose an opera.
At this time, the staff member who was escorting Keith out suddenly said, "By the way, the next performance will still be this play, but the venue will not be Gray Collar."
"Oh, is that going to Shige County? Or somewhere else?"
Keith was a little excited. Was this considered a tour? He was performing in an opera with the legendary Greya.
"No, it's in Black Iron City. Things have completely stabilized there."
The staff didn't know Keith's true identity, so they told it very frankly.
"what?"
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient for you to go there because you know someone there? It doesn't matter. Trust my makeup skills. Look, no one recognizes you now, right?"
After saying that, the staff member gave Keith a thumbs up.
"No, it's not inconvenient, but I came from Black Iron City, and I feel a little emotional."
"Oh, I see. I'll need your help with the performance then. We're not very familiar with Black Iron City."
The staff left with a smile, but Keith couldn't laugh. It wasn't because he was worried about being recognized by the nobles who were still in Black Iron City, but because Keith seemed to understand what the Governor wanted to do.
Now this so-called "art troupe" is almost not profitable, tickets are completely free, and most of the people who come to watch will definitely be ordinary people.
What would happen to ordinary people after watching this play? What would the nobles think after watching this play?
Keith shuddered. No wonder this "art troupe" was an organization affiliated with the military.
The life of the gray-collar workers on prayer days is now very rich. After the performance of the art troupe, there is a ceremony attended by the Governor and his wife.
Hearing that it was the first opening ceremony of the magic train, Keith came to the ceremony site after having a simple meal.
The Governor's wife hugged the Governor's arm affectionately, and the Governor was also very casual. There was no solemnity at all from the two of them. If it were in the past, some nobles might have secretly criticized them, saying that they were wild monkeys from the border and had no idea of etiquette. But now, people would basically only praise the Governor and his wife for being approachable.
In the past, these nobles were dismissive, but now they analyze it frame by frame.
No one dared to say that Reina was a disgrace to the nobility anymore. Instead, they praised Reina for her freedom and unrestrainedness, her non-conformity to conventions, like a gentle breeze on your face or a gurgling stream. Even when she and Linde were squatting at the door and eating duck legs, she could be praised for being majestic and free-spirited. This was a true aristocrat.
Especially after the nobles of Black Iron City heard about it, they all began to imitate the couple squatting at the gate and eating roast duck.
The same goes for Keith. Keith, who used to set certain rules for the socks of the girls entering every dance, now no longer pays so much attention to etiquette and rules.
Finally, this trend became more and more serious, with a tendency towards the collapse of propriety and music, so that Linde had to issue a proclamation to prevent these nobles from going too far.
Keith, who was carefully observing the Governor's every move, did not notice the huge object covered by the curtain behind the Governor.
There are endless new things coming out from the gray-collar workers, and Keith's mentality has gradually changed from initial shock to current numbness.
It was not until Lind's "two brief remarks" were really just two brief remarks that Keith noticed the huge curtain and the railroad tracks extending under it.
Keith was not a truly uneducated nobleman. He was familiar with railroad tracks, which usually appeared in mining areas, with people or horses pulling mine carts on them.
Of course, it’s usually people, after all, people are the cheapest.
I heard that this so-called train was designed by the Governor's wife. It should be some kind of particularly labor-saving mining car.
After all, the Governor's wife has designed a lot of these mechanical devices since the beginning of the waterwheel, and the pulleys on the dock were basically designed by the Governor's wife.
Thinking of the various mechanical devices of the gray-collar workers, Keith felt that the gap between the western part of the North and other places was really getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes Keith really suspected that this was another world.
Of course, it was just a suspicion. Keith could understand the shocking obelisk in Gray Collar as a special wizard tower. But when the curtain was lifted, this monster that was beyond Keith's understanding really made Keith convinced that Gray Collar and other places were indeed a completely different world.
