Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 387 The Life of Music
Before the sea current cleared up, the ship could not notice the reef in the dark, and the sailors were fascinated by the magnificent starlight in the sky, intoxicated in the tranquility.

The four of Lyle returned to the Bloody Rose Bar, and Beatrice rarely dispelled the dark clouds over the bar, allowing the sun and ribbons to light up this sleepless carnival place.

The atmosphere in the bar is still warm, but it is not the wanton twisting and indulgence of the night. Every guest shows the excitement of participating in the celebration, which is a kind of pure intellectual joy.

Lyle soon found Arianna, who was sitting on the bar with her sister, the vampire Beatrice, chatting with wine glasses.When Beatrice's sharp gaze was fixed on Lyle, Ariana followed her gaze and saw her lover.

Lyall left the group of four and walked to the position alone.

As the field of vision narrowed, the smile on Ariana's face gradually became clear in his sight, as well as the fangs that Beatrice secretly revealed behind her back.

Tasting the freshness of the concoction seemed like a simple excuse, the liquid in Ariana's glass wasn't consumed much.The original clear layering has been shaken and turned into a mixed liquid like the color of the aurora.

"Your time is just right, Mr. Lyle, there is still about a quarter of an hour before the beginning of the music life, and we can definitely enter the venue on time."

"I'm always on time."

Arianna narrowed her eyes, and shifted her gaze to the glass of concoction in her hand that had been shaken for a long time, "Bini told me some interesting things about the first time you came to this bar."

The first time it came, it was when the succubus Anna was planning to cheat herself, and some scenes with peachy metaphors did happen.Lyle shifted his gaze to his sister-in-law, and Beatrice was turning her head to look elsewhere, but the corners of her mouth curled up on her pretty side face, obviously looking forward to something.

Want Ariana to take it out on me?

The witch was wearing a skin bag, and her sideburn hair was gathered behind her ears, after a blink of an eye.Arianna's plain temperament has become a charming and provocative temperament.

The wine glass was pushed to Lyall's hand.

"Guest~ would you pay for my cup?"

Lyle raised his eyebrows, smiled and asked Price, "An Oriu?"

"Everything about you." Ariana's voice became cold and arrogant, as if the queen had issued an order.

"Pretty expensive price...but great value for money, I take it."

Lyle was about to drink it down, but found that the glass had been snatched away by Beatrice, who was furious, and drank it down in one gulp.After finishing her drink, Beatrice gave Lyle a vicious look, and then thumped back to the second floor.

Ariana took Lyle's arm.

"Benny doesn't want to be in the Sound of Music, she's never been very interested in music."

"That's unfortunate, it's just you and me."

Lyle's eccentric tone successfully made Ariana laugh, and she took Lyle's arm and walked out of the store.

"Go away, or Benny will really tear you apart."

The address of the Sound of Music is in Guangwu District, Elf District.

On the way, Lyle saw Andrea's companion.

Even in their flesh and blood camouflage, they were still recognizable.Their activities are strangely uncoordinated, perhaps due to the ossification of limbs caused by long-term exposure to bones, or the lack of breath of life.

The mighty stiff torrent converged in one place, reminding Lyle of the time when he first entered Andrei.

It was Mr. Gentleman who led him and got to know Andrea all the way.

And now, Mr. Gentleman is not absent either.

"The Epidemic Doctor."

The gentleman in human skin is still wearing the gray dress of the past, with a withered rose on his chest, and a smile on his face, everything is as if he saw it for the first time.

Except for the Ankara black cat in his arms.

"Ms. Willa Leeds."

Amber cat eyes had spotted Lyle early on, but were soon attracted to Ariana beside him.

"Long time no see, Lyle, oh, it should be Mr. Plague Doctor."

The black cat's tail was wagging freely, playing with the spikes on the rose of Mr. Gentleman.

"What a beautiful lady." The black cat poked its head out of the gentleman's shoulder, "Do you want to become a witch? I will let you be a witch mother."

"Vera!" Mr. Gentleman reminded the cat, but the voice was more like begging.

"I'm sorry, Avenret, I always forget the etiquette when I see beautiful ladies. If I offend you, please forgive me, unknown lady."

"I'm Arianna Naslan, it's an honor to meet you, Vera Liz, the mistress of the witches."

After a brief introduction, they didn't communicate much, and just quietly accompanied the man. Lyle and the gentleman chatted some gossip, which was generally related to the music and the performance.

The natural landscape of Guangwu District is like a fairyland on earth.Those druids do have a hand.

The golden sunlight, the green leaves, and the leaking light spots seem to have evoked the instinctive reaction of Vera the cat.

The black cat caught the light spot, and then reacted to Mr. Gentleman's laughter, and gave him a cat punch.

As they went deeper into the Emerald Forest, the number of elves watching continued to increase, but both sides still kept a certain distance.

The sun is dimming as the shade of the trees that cover overhead grows thicker.

Finally, Lyle and others came to a huge tent wrapped in black cloth.

One by one, the liches were lining up to enter the only one-person-high door under the black cloth.

That should be the auditorium for enjoying the performance.

Lyle looked into the tent from a gap in the crowd, and it was pitch black.Kind of like a movie theater.

There is no candle-like lighting device inside, but on the stake-like seats, there are branches protruding from the side, and there are a few leaves with faint green light on them.

It is also with these beautiful glowing gadgets that mark the seats.Lyle took Ariana to find a corner seat and sat down, waiting for the performance to start.

Everything in the Elf District gave the liches a novel experience, and they whispered excitedly in the dark, like children on their first spring outing.Although as long as they take off their disguise, they can gain the dark vision of the Lich.

"In order to fully experience the natural culture of the elves, our literature club handed over all the layout here to the elves. It seems that they have put some thought into it."

"Darkness can help us concentrate and devote ourselves to music. It has to be said that, as the first race to weave harps, elves' musical attainments are the same as their bow skills."

Mr. Gentleman explained quietly on the side.

Until the music really sounded, along with the light, it appeared in front of Lyle.

It was an emerald tree, and the glowing green light gradually increased, illuminating the elves sitting on the branches and playing various wooden instruments.They wear robes woven with gold and silver threads, and wear corollas of flowers on their heads. Their bare feet swing in the air, like crystal fruits hanging in the air and blown by the wind.

But Lyle first noticed that it wasn't those long white legs. He found that his field of vision seemed to be restricted, and there were black shadows cutting the picture into long strips.

There is a bunch of fences between the stage and the auditorium.All the liches also noticed this, and the lich sitting at the front touched these vertical bars curiously.

"It's ironwood, ironwood fence."

Why should a row of fences be built here, the liches began to wonder.

"I see!" Mr. Gentleman seemed to have thought of something, he raised his voice to silence the discussion, "That is not a fence, but a cage, a huge cage, this is definitely a form of elf art!"

"The elves are the race that admires nature the most. Their poems often show love for nature and yearning for freedom. I understand that the theme of this music is to sing the praises of freedom. These elves have locked themselves up, Singing sadly like a bird in a cage. They simulate a cage, which is to oppress themselves, so as to sing freedom more truly."

"It's so professional. These elves are really outstanding artists. They actually made such sacrifices for art."

The liches fell into admiration as before, and watched the performance of the elves more attentively.

Lyle, noticed the weirdness in it.

He quietly leaned back and stretched out his hand to the black cloth behind him.Sure enough, in the black cloth, I found a new fence.

So, here comes the problem, there is a fence in front of you, and there is a fence behind you.

Who is in the cage?

Lyle sees the truth.

Why did the lich walk into the auditorium through that small door, and why the interior was as dark as a movie theater.

There is no such thing as caged bird art, only dangerously isolated lich monkeys here.

The theme of the life of music, what is freedom and priceless, is safety first.

We, Andrei, are the ones who should sing the praises of freedom.

We are locked in a cage.
