Chapter 296 Opera
The end of exam week is relaxing for everyone, even if it’s because of St. Augustus Priest, who was busy with prayers, decided to invite Dr. Schneider to the pub for a drink.

Actually, they also wanted to invite Shade to go with him, but Miss Luysha directly refused to help Shade:

"I'm helping Shade to intensively read "The Kiss of the Tree" recently, and we have classes in the evening. , must not drink alcohol."

The doctor expressed regret for this, but since he had business to do, he didn't say much. However, before leaving St. Teresa Square with Priest, he took out 200 pounds and distributed it to four people. According to 2.5:2.5:2:1.5:1.5, Shade received 40 pounds in cash (note).

After the Lakeview Manor incident, the Academy gave the team a £1,000 intramural bonus. Through a very magical operation, the doctor got the money that could not be discounted, and at the cost of one-tenth of the loss, he got all the gold pounds in four installments.

As agreed, it was the end of the month of thunder and they got their first money. Everyone was happy when the doctor split the money, but Shade mentioned that if he could get the credits next week, he would probably have to pay the tuition for the second grade. Therefore, the doctor should not withdraw the remaining money for the time being, and that money can be used directly to pay tuition fees.

If the crossed-out part exceeds what Shade deserves, he can compensate several others in a ratio of 1 to 0.95.

"Of course you can, but do you have so much money? The tuition fee for the first grade is relatively low, and it is a warlock to take care of the first entry into the mysterious world. The tuition fee for the second grade is charged according to the training plan, at least three Count."

The doctor asked worriedly, knowing that Shade had only been a detective for a month and might not have much savings.

"I still have about 800 pounds in my hand, which is enough."

Shade said while petting the cat.

"Where did you get so much gold? Oh, Shade, we can lend it to you if you're short of money, don't touch the Rhodes card."

The old priest is very Surprised, Shade's mind flashed the silhouette of Miss Carina, most of his major income came from the Duchess. Although the two sides are a fair deal, Shade believes that if he speaks out, he will inevitably make himself a bit suspicious of relying on women to eat soft rice:
"It was the detective career that gave me the opportunity to make a fortune, and I met a few more generous clients. .priest, please rest assured, it is absolutely legal."

The old priest was relieved.

Dr. Schneider and August priest left together and went to the pub to celebrate the end of the busy exam week. Luvia had other things to do at the Society of Prophets, and said goodbye in a hurry. Because we were going to watch the opera together in the evening, Shade invited Miss Luisa to have dinner, and Goldilocks of course agreed, excitedly talking about any restaurant that could satisfy even Mia Cat.

After the meal, send Mia back to the Saint-de-Land Square to watch the house. The Opera House must not bring pets into it. Originally, I was wondering if this would have left the cat in the cold, but seeing it lying on the sofa and not wanting to move, Shade understood that taking it out was the punishment for the cat.

Queen Maria Opera House on Swift Street in the Northern Part of City, after a week of high pressure in the city, people's desire to travel has increased. Tonight's tickets are almost all sold out. Miss Luysha's ticket is in the third row on the second floor of the theater, which is a good place.

But the really good locations are actually those higher up private boxes. It's just that the two of them came to watch the opera today purely for "teaching", so there is no need to waste gold pounds to buy such expensive tickets, their income level is not that high.

The Queen Mary Opera House is the private property of the royal family, adhering to the aesthetic characteristics of the Cavendish Xu Family, and has also been decorated with gold and jade in glorious splendor. Such high-end public places naturally also have requirements for clothing. Most of the gentlemen are dressed in black formal dresses like Shade, but a few odd ones can be seen.

One of the things that impressed Shade the most was that for the first time in this world he saw a man dressed in a woman's white stockings. Shade wasn't sure if this scene would make him have nightmares at night. Even if he was dressed as a woman, the makeup on the other party's face was too heavy. When he entered the venue, Shade could smell the choking powder smell between three people.

"That's Mr. Procy Newman, the playwright!"

Shade turned to look at Miss Luisa's outfit, wanting to forget what she just saw as soon as possible. . Tonight's Miss Writer is blue's dress, very similar to the one she wore at the Lakeview Manor dinner.

Miss Luyisa said to Shade very excitedly:

"Look, that's a real great writer. He has not only written operas and plays, but also in long poems. , novels, and collections of essays."

"Why does a writer dress like that?"

They walked inward with the flow of people, so that the playwright Instead of going to the second floor with my companions, we continued up the stairs. If Shade sat with him for a few hours, Shade thought he would have nightmares tonight. He doesn't discriminate against other people's aesthetics, he just can't stand it.

"That's an aesthetic trend, Lecia said, in Sand Dragon in the upper class, you can often see artists dressed like this."

She smiled, while talking with her. Shade walked in along the aisle between the seats, covering his mouth and whispering in his ear, golden's long hair touched Shade's face a little:
"The artistic inspiration of writers is probably not as violent as that of painters. The dress of the painters should be more incompatible with your aesthetics, have you heard of people painting clothes on themselves with watercolors, and then appearing on Sand Dragon?"

"Of course not. Men still A woman?"

The outsider curiously found out that Goldilocks patted him, and said a little angrily:

"Of course it's a man, what are you thinking? Also in Sand Dragon, she told people to throw him directly on the street. She couldn't stand this kind of advanced aesthetic."

"Oh, don't say such a thing, although we have seen it before. It's even more disgusting, but now it's time to go out to watch the opera, so don't bother yourself."

Shade stopped Miss Luisa from continuing, and she didn't get angry, but laughed aside. .

The gas lamps on the walls are very bright, and the chandeliers hanging directly above the auditorium continue to provide light and heat. Dorothy Luisa loved the night.

The art of opera also exists in the hometown of foreigners, but Shade has never seen it live. Sitting in the opera house with a beautiful girl in an unfamiliar world, I suddenly had the illusion that it is not bad to come to this world.

Before the opening, loud noises came from the auditoriums on the first and second floors. The crowd was very lively, but with the sound of music, the light of the surrounding gas lamps gradually became weak, and people's feelings were The sound gradually became smaller.

The lights on the stage below came on, and a girl wearing a sackcloth skirt and holding a broom appeared, and the cheerful singing started the scene.

"Huh so far?"

Shade asked in a low voice in Miss Luisa's ear. From their position, the girl singing on the stage looked much younger than this time. Mia cat, who is alone at home, is even younger.

"Of course, do you still want to go to the stage to see it?"

Miss Luisa replied in a low voice, and then handed him a cold metal in the dark. object. Shade looked down and found that it was actually a telescope:

"I knew you wouldn't bring it. Is this your first time at the opera house?"

Speaking , Miss Luysha picked up the telescope and looked towards the stage, just like most of the people around her.

"I actually bring them all"

"Isn't it just to listen to the singing? I'm just an ordinary telescope, don't dislike it, I heard that it's to show off my wealth, Someone will bring Kim."

She lowered her voice, unwilling to disturb those around her listening to the opera.

Actually, from this position, I can barely see the performance on the stage without a telescope, but Shade still picked up the telescope and put it in front of him, trying to see what it would be like to watch an opera with this.

"It's really uncomfortable."

So he still looked with his eyes, and now it's just the opening, the girls on the stage are telling the background story with singing.

[Outlander, you have surpassed the level of people in this era in both natural sciences and humanities. Why is your art appreciation ability so poor? ]

She probably also thought that Shade didn't know how to appreciate opera.

"I don't appreciate art like this."

He replied in the heart, talking to the woman beside his ear in a completely dark environment, there really is something about her. feeling around you.

【So what kind of art do you appreciate? ]

"Literary art, or more realistic visual art. Of course, if the opera has a strong story, I will also appreciate it."

【What you appreciate is the story itself? ]

"You can say that."

She gave him a small chuckle before speaking. Shade thought to himself that although they only paid for two tickets, it was actually equivalent to four people watching the opera.

"It should be considered as three people, Miss Luisa's 'other me' should be normal."

He thought to himself, leaning back on the back of the chair relaxedly, Squinting looked towards the glowing stage.

Although I haven't experienced much this week, today's exams during the day are really tiring. Sitting in the dark at the moment, I don't have to think about other things, is really relaxing.

Empty his head and decided to enjoy the quiet night. Although he was a little sleepy, he held back.

The play they watched was called "Higgins Tragedy", which mainly tells the story of a young boy written by a hobby who has ups and downs in twenty years until he reaches the end of his destiny .

In each scene of the story, an exaggerated opera performance will be used to restore the fairy tale that the protagonist Higgins is reading.

The story of "Tree Kiss" is in the third act. This story is used to illustrate the sadness and pain of young writer Higgins after love fades away. At the climax of the story, the soaring female voice almost shattered all the glass here, but at the same time it also won rounds of applause.

PS: Before the First Volume major event, Shade had more than 300 pounds, and Miss Carina bought the vampire corpse and fangs, making him 500 pounds (500 for 1200 points), plus The current £40, excluding candles and living expenses, Shade's current deposit is around £800.

PS2: I use telescope to watch opera.
