He's seen the show, he remembers it, he even said he once listed it as a favorite with joy.

But that's not the story... there's no King Solomon in that story, and there's no Queen of Sheba.

He scratched his chin, an unnatural question flashed through his mind, why, why, why...

He remembered, wasn't his manuscript and the notes he left the same script he had read?

And now the crew actually re-adapted and acted based on the story in his manuscript?

He felt angry and annoyed, and he wanted to have a good talk with the head of the regiment, he couldn't allow this to happen.

That was his father's performance, and it was something worth remembering in his life!

.........

He hid in the backstage area dedicated to the crew. Although it was only a combination of a few people, their division of labor was very good.

.r d100=1

But it's a pity that there are too few people, and there is an oriental girl in the protection work area, but this can't stop Liu Xu at all.

He was a little curious about how he did it, but he did easily escape the other party's surveillance, and then fled to the backstage.

Looking at the script in the opponent's hand behind the head of the Toyo, there was a slight accident on the stage just now. The script in the hands of the person playing Solomon deviated from the other people's, although I don't know which link appeared. problem, but he did help covertly.

And this also allowed him to see clearly the script in the opponent's hand, which was covered with traces of alteration. It could be seen that the original producer had a good script, but all of this was modified by the leader with his own ideas.Moreover, he also saw some weird code words on the script, as if they were used to remind the person who wrote it that there was any special content that needed special marking.

Maybe the other party peeked at his notebook, or maybe the other party has the same notes as himself...

But before the young man could make a move, another trouble occurred at the scene. The stage play that was about to end was broken by a door suddenly opened and a bearded man who was cursing.

"Professor Carter, we have solid evidence here, proving that your servants used witchcraft to curse several girls in the village!"

Accompanied by the big man's words, a large group of simple militiamen, like fanatical believers, went up and grabbed Tituba's maid sitting in the center of the hall.

Seeing that the scene was suddenly out of control, Liu Xu was thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to act, but the scorching breath behind him forced him to roll away, avoiding the dangerous alarm.

"Bold madman! Who let you in!"

A girl named Nezha stared at him, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes...

459. Taboo Comes to the Garden ([-])

A courtyard at Itti Palace overlooking Lake Harry.The sky was a dim, hazy red, with many twinkling stars.Up the steps is a corridor made of vaults and columns, and there are several potted trees on the side of the corridor.There is a stone bench on the left hand side in front of the stage.This act begins at night and ends at dawn.

(Bickley enters from the right; Bramchas enters from the left. Bramchas is tall and bearded; Bickley is short and stout, clean-shaven. They all wear gray uniforms resembling Cossacks , armed with a musket. Bramchas leans on his gun.)

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

The chaos of the production crew yesterday attracted a lot of attention, and Liu Xu was just hid backstage because he was hiding from the witch hunter.

However, it was Nezha who attracted attention because of the flames he waved. Although the deceptive tricks produced by the props were temporarily concealed, but relative to Tituba, the circus had no extra energy to help.

Although Uncle Carter and the crew tried hard to defend him, Tituba was still taken away.

Because the person who arrested Tituba was Matthew Hopkins, a famous witch hunter, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the other party's behavior. This rule, which seemed like common sense, directly blocked everyone's dissenting mouths.

Although everyone knows that this is unreasonable, any refutation is meaningless.

Now this era is the era of rampant witch trials. The circus even went to the trial scene with the Carter family, saying that they wanted to counter the other party's case because what the other party did was wrong, but it was meaningless at all.

And...the witch-hunting general famous in Europe, he died as early as 1647!

Whether it's resurrection or impersonation, when the other party decides to act under this name, there has never been any possibility of a comeback in the Witch Trial.You must know that Tituba's dolls don't have the slightest hint of magic. They are ordinary dolls that have nothing to do with mystery, but since they can be used as props, it is enough to show that the judges are just idiots.

Real witches aren't afraid of these shovels, they're just asking for trouble...

As for the sick children in the town, he felt that it should be some kind of acute symptom, which looked like a problem with the brain and nerves. Anyway, it was a trouble that could never be solved in this era.

And the fact is the same, when Carter and others came back, it was already afternoon, and the trial of the witch was temporarily over. What surprised Liu Xu was that the woman hidden under the cloak was also arrested.

Originally, he thought that the troupe would not be counted among the judges, but now it seems that the situation has exceeded his prediction?

The morale of the crowd was very low so far. According to what he asked, the witch hunter also requested that they at least put on a performance related to the burning tonight, otherwise they would execute the circus members he caught.Therefore, an opportunity to discuss the temporary script with the head of the group allowed Liu Xu to approach Fujimaru Tachika very reasonably.

Although he sneaked into Captain Fujimaru Tachika's room once in the morning, taking advantage of no one, he couldn't find any relevant content about his notes.Regarding the drama of the script and the content he staged, all he could see were all kinds of scribbles, which looked almost the same as his notebook!

Although Liu Xu can't remember the details of the notes at all, he can clearly see that the leader's notes are full of evil and filthy profane content. If this note is spread, let alone a witch or not, he will definitely Immediately be sentenced to death.

He self-recommended and said that he also had some research on the script and could help the leader overcome this difficulty. Although Fujimaru Tatsuka refused at first, he was relieved under Liu Xu's strong request.

Liu Xu, who entered the head's room again, focused their attention more on the script, and took advantage of the situation to cover up some traces that he hadn't had time to deal with before.Regarding tonight's drama, because it is related to the burning, they chose the script of Joan of Arc, but this time they will only perform the burning of the last scene.

Because Hopkins asked the crew to complete the execution in person, only in this way can they return their teammates, but they were obviously very dissatisfied, and even asked during the script discussion process, can they rely on a hat-trick to save the person who is about to be executed, Let other people see the dead body.

The French white hair who was in charge of the logistics frowned, saying that they didn't have a replacement corpse, not to mention that even if they saved someone, they couldn't transfer it, because tonight's performance was forced to be held on the execution platform. They couldn't set up props on stage.

If they choose to save those five innocent women, their entire troupe will die because of it, and sacrificing five innocent women for their teammates seems to be the only choice and answer.

It makes them very angry and upset, not that there is no way to save people, it's just that doing so puts them all in danger, which makes them lose their own partners.

"Actually, during the drama, I have ways to save people, but there can only be one..."

Liu Xu slowly walked towards the item box in their room, and pointed to the worn-out cloak that looked yellow and the mask that gave people an ominous feeling.

"Let me play the role of the last 'lord', then I will be the next person."

This set of things only belongs to 'that person', no matter how angry and dissatisfied he feels in his heart, he will not allow it to be worn by others in the world.He had felt before that this costume was not a prop, but a real holy object with that person's scent.It is something that can be used as a material if you want to, and convey the desire to attract attention to the great master of another world.

Simply using it for the circus is too overkill, and he is sure that it is not something that comes with the circus, it is something that they never know where to find, and the other party's original owner has some mysterious plans.

"The most important thing is not why, but how..."

He looked at the young team leader who was studying the script, played with the icon with a strange imprint in his hand, and then slowly placed it on the table, and a large pile of script materials were piled up together.

"What is most needed is not what you want, but what you must have..."

He leaned against the leader's body, with his head over the other's shoulder, staring at the pen in the other's hand quickly across the notebook, on which was written maddening gibberish, as well as mysterious names that should not be known to people.

"The most important thing is not whether you trust or not, but trust each other..."

Finally, he grabbed Fujimaru Tachika's shoulder, and Liu Xu's face was filled with a distorted smile.

Things worked out...

460. Taboo Comes to the Garden ([-])

A hall in Iti Palace.In the center of the stage is a huge stone throne, unoccupied.

Behind is a wooden mosaic sculpture depicting a knotted dragon. The throne is flanked by tapestries with Hyades patterns. A table with food and drink is facing the throne. There is a large balcony on the left overlooking the courtyard and the lake. .

The gigantic city of a thousand towers, Carcosa, was already clearly visible on the lakeshore in the distance, several towers soared into the sky, and the top of the towers could not be seen.The sky was pink and lit with many stars, and a small, misshapen moon was setting in front of Carcosa's tower.The entrance on the right has three vaults.

The whole room is adorned with festive decorations, a masquerade ball is being held, and the scene has a joyful party atmosphere.

----------

Although the plan is very ordinary, Liu Xu has a strange feeling. He seems to have done this kind of thing many times, but it seems that this is just the first attempt.

He asked Fujimaru Tachika to draw a lot of new concepts and ideas on the notepad, and asked the other party to increase the role of the king in yellow according to his own ideas. Those poems originally created by bards have now become Ordinary works that he can modify at his fingertips.

He seemed to understand the reason why the play was adapted. A guy who thought the same as him was so arrogant and unruly, changing everything recklessly with his distorted consciousness and mentality.He knew that he hated that person, but he also admired the guy who did it, he just hated the play that belonged to his father and was performed by other people.

Then there was a short rehearsal time. Several performers checked their lines with each other, and the places where Liu Xu was required to appear only needed narration assistance.This is Liu Xu's own request. The person playing the role of the Lord in Yellow must not say a word. This is more in line with the mysterious identity than King Solomon who was transformed into the Lord in Yellow before.

The drama "Fire at the Stake" was adapted from the story of Joan of Arc. Since Joan of Arc has been overturned and is no longer a witch, but a real religious saint, it is a very good choice to prove that the circus is not heresy.

The place where the play was staged was the execution ground, and the punishment for witches should have been hanged, but in order to cooperate with the performance and protect their companions, they had to personally burn these 'witches' to death on the stage.

Of course, the drama deeply satirizes the judges, but this is religiously correct for today's teachings. The British Holy See who executed Joan of Arc was a bunch of bastards, which is extremely joyful to the Protestants who were exiled to the New World. s answer.Therefore, even if he saw the slander of the judge in the opera, the justice could not say anything, because the ones being criticized were Christians, and they were Puritans who were persecuted by Christianity.

So the play started very smoothly, the only pity is the five people who were tied to the stake, they will really become the victims of this performance.Even if the circus is unwilling to do such vicious things, it must be contaminated with this unique evil here.

But the job of lighting the fire has been taken by the silver-haired Frenchman.

He should be an experienced executioner. Although he looks very young, his indifference to life and death and his respect for death will not be deceiving.

Thinking about it, all this is also a kind of punishment for him, because the job of the executioner is to end the suffering of the tortured as soon as possible, and burning is the most painful form of death...

But fortunately Liu Xu is here, he has a way to save one person, of course there can only be one.

And afterwards, it is necessary to make sure that the other party will not go out to expose this matter, or even go crazy because of such unreasonable things.

Therefore, after discussing the precautions with others, Liu Xu, who had put on the costume, also appeared on the stage. His play was when Joan of Arc was burned at the stake at the end, and he met the unknown king who came to inspect.The ancient and mysterious unknown king wore a yellow robe that covered his face and a mask, but there was no paleness in the facial features on the mask.

Under the pardon of the unknown king, even the blazing flames avoided the body of the saint like a pilgrim.The rope wrapped around her body was automatically untied, and she was reborn in the flames. Looking back at her hometown, she knew that her destiny had come, and she should follow the king.

Of course, in order to prevent the judges present from saying that this was witchcraft, just to deceive them and let the witch go free, Liu Xu directly used magic to modify their cognition. The humanoid puppet left, while the burning witch just followed the direction of the pillar and looked to the other side with a painful face.

To deal with this group of unreasonable Muggles, we can only use the methods of magicians~

And Liu Xu didn't care whether he would be discovered or not, the worst he could do was to give everyone a high-flying trick, make them live blind for the rest of their lives, and he could easily leave this town.

When the play ended, the audience burst into applause. People liked this play that slandered Christianity. Who made them persecute the Puritans for so long?It is not a hundred years later when the Anglican Church (Anglican) can ban Protestantism and Reformedism and become the number one religious force in Britain.

The only thing the Puritans can accept now is their distorted beliefs. They have already been distorted into twisted monsters that they are unwilling to face because of what they have left.

"It's really a group of lunatics who think they are pure and innocent. After abandoning all your emotions and desires, what are you left with? The human nature that you have to bury with your own hands because of your nostalgia and hostility for the emotions and desires?"

Liu Xu, who saved the maid, sneered under the stage. The residents of this small town are already hopeless, or in other words, the people who were dispatched to the New World are already hopeless.They are believers who have been persecuted too much and have lost their bottom line. They are evil beasts who have abandoned all bottom lines because they trust their own teachings.

This kind of disaster cannot be smoothed out even by time, and can only be ruthlessly destroyed by power.But how could it be destroyed so easily because it was born under the power of power?

Stretching out his hand to gently stroke the back of the maid's head, Liu Xu suddenly raised his eyebrows.

The maid in front of me only found out that there seemed to be something wrong after touching it personally.

"Could it be..."

He felt puzzled, which was the difference between the body's vision and the actual touch, and the weird sense of touch made him feel the confusion of touch.

Then he raised his hand and aimed at the maid's chest——penetrate it!
