Lord God Investigator

Chapter 174 The Helpless Harper

Elminster and Helen had to watch a new play in the afternoon, and "Titanic" ended at noon. The area near the theater was crowded with people, and it was not easy to squeeze back if they walked far away.

So, they decided to have lunch at the "Titanic Movie Bar" on the first floor of the Amn Theater. The quality of the food and drinks in this movie bar is undeniable and can be said to be the first-class in Catla City, but the price is also first-class and very high. People can't help but exclaim: "Boss, why don't you go and grab it?"

Even though the prices are high, there are still many wealthy people filling the movie bar during lunch time, enjoying delicious food and discussing dramas.

Neither of the two God's chosen ones were short of money. The two of them and the two female harpist guides brought by Elminster booked a table, ordered a large table of meals, and enjoyed their lunch break.

Elminster finished his meal quickly, took out the notebook and the magic quill with endless ink from the dimensional bag, and wrote and drew on the paper.

Seeing that he kept writing, Helen leaned over to read and couldn't help but ask: "Old man, what are you writing? Is it a drama review of "Titanic"?"

The old sage smiled and shook his head: "I can write theater reviews, but not now. I am recording some of the unique management methods of the Bradlow Theater Company, such as using shapeshifting actors, using illusion magic projection special effects, etc."

"Why record this?"

"We can wait until we return to Waterdeep City to learn from the experience of the Bradlow Theater Company and form a Waterdeep City Theater Company."

The Chosen God of Love's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was also reminded that followers of Suni, the God of Love and Beauty, all love art, and most of them are bards with performing talents. If they can copy the Bredlow Troupe's Success, founding the Eros Theater Company, and performing "Titanic" at Eros celebrations will certainly be helpful in spreading the faith.

"Old man, you are still as smart as you were two hundred years ago. What a great idea. After you finish writing, use the 'copying' technique to make a copy for me."

Elminster smiled and nodded. The Bredlow Theater Company's innovative stage play deserves to be promoted. This will be a stage play revolution. If the bards master this creative method, they will definitely be able to create more and better plays.

"etc!"

Meloniya, who was accompanying him, heard important information from the old sage's words.

"Sir, did you just say that the actors on the stage are shape-shifters? The special effects on the stage are illusion magic?"

The female harpist suddenly realized that no wonder she and Lucite were framed by the Fernanden family before. It turned out that the three members of that family were not human beings at all, but were all monsters!

No wonder they were beaten so badly and refused to accept the Harper Alliance's rescue!

Moreover, the so-called "Gnome Technology Projector Version 2.0" turned out to be a fake, and the light and shadow effects on the stage were all magic performed by an illusionist!

When Bradlow stole the ownership of the theater, he reported the Sigil Theater Company for using dangerous magic, and when he cheated her and Lucite, he used the harbored shapeshifters.

This self-proclaimed righteous guy did even more illegal things behind the scenes. Instead, he deceived the city hall and made her and Lucit take the blame.

"It's so abominable!"

The female harpist slapped the table, causing the dishes on the table to tremble.

"I'm going to the city hall to report Bradlow! He used illusion magic in public and harbored a very dangerous shapeshifter. These two crimes are enough to sentence him to twenty years in prison!"

"you dare!"

Helen, the chosen one of the God of Love, instantly and silently cast the silence spell with a snap of her fingers, leaving Meloniya speechless. Her angry shout just now was not heard by the public due to the noisy crowd in the movie bar.

"Amn's national policy of banning demons is itself full of controversy. Apart from Amn, which country in Faerûn has banned demons? Even if magic is considered dangerous, what's wrong with using illusion magic to give people the enjoyment of beauty?"

With a bright face, Helen asked coldly: "What's wrong with the shapeshifters being actors? The three shapeshifter actor camps are lawful and neutral, not evil. They worked hard to perform and entertained the public with their superb acting skills. But you want to report them and let them die at the stake and in a pool of acid?”

She turned to Elminster and said with a cold face: "Just take care of the little girl you brought. Don't force me to do it. When the time comes, even if you want to stop it, the scene will not be pretty."

Suni, the god of love and goodness, is a powerful god. Her elect Helen has not spread any heroic reputation in the continent of Faerûn. This is because the believers of the God of Love love peace and do not want to intervene in disputes. It does not mean that this person Female voters are weak in combat effectiveness.

Even if the archmage Elminster, who has experienced countless adventures, goes to war with this angry goddess chosen, the odds of winning are actually only between two and two.

And even if the old mage can win, if Helen puts a "Curse of Love" on him, his sexual happiness will be basically cut off for the rest of his life. He will never be able to climb into the bed of a certain goddess again, and he will become a public enemy of women. This is definitely not worth the gain. .

What's more, the old mage didn't agree with Meloniya's words. He glared at Melonia with a displeased face, turned to Helen and said: "Children are not sensible, Ms. Helen, please don't be angry."

"As a bard, you actually want to destroy a troupe that has brought an innovative revolution to stage plays because of a little festival? Want to frame a talented playwright and performer?"

The demon lord would tremble when the old mage was angry, and Meloniya couldn't help but tremble under his wrath.

"Forget this thought at once, or you are not worthy of being a Harper at all!"

Under the glare of the two God's chosen people, the little female harpist could only submit and nodded aggrievedly, not daring to mention the report again.

She was extremely depressed. It was obvious that Bradlow was the one who did the evil, but she was the one who was punished every time. Even Helen, the chosen one of the goddess Sune, who is known as the kindest in the world, and Ilmings, the most just and wise chosen one of the goddess of magic in the world. Tedu spoke for the villain and concealed his crimes.

What happened to this world? Is black and white reversed?

The female harpist promised never to mention such "rebellious" and "sinful words" again, and the two voters turned away their dissatisfied eyes. This made Meloniya sigh with relief. Looking at it, the pressure is really not that great.

"Sister, I don't agree with your idea of ​​reporting. If the actors and director of the Bradlow Theater Company are arrested, we will never see a good drama like "Titanic" again in the future. The audience will be so disappointed. Disappointed."

What she never expected was that her closest good sister, Lucite, who was also deceived by Bradero, did not support her: "Besides, you can't report it even if you want to. When you get to the city hall, you can't." You will be arrested as soon as you speak, because we are still wanted by Amn. Whatever you say will be regarded as slander, and no one will believe it."

The words of the female assassin reminded Meloniya, and it was indeed true when she thought about it. She was the number one suspect in the bombing, and her portraits were found all over Amn. If it weren't for the magical power of Elminster who followed him this time, what would happen to her? She was blessed with the "wonderful veil" magic to cover her true appearance, and she would be arrested on the spot as soon as she got off the boat.

Lucite continued: "Even if they know that what you are saying is the truth, they will not admit it. Destroying the Bradero Theater Company will not do any good to the civilians or nobles of Amn. Even if the Bradero Theater Company is breaking the law, things have already happened." At the current stage of development, Amn officials will pretend not to know even if they know it, just like people know that drinking alcohol is bad for health, but they can't help but drink too much."

Meloniya sighed deeply. She had to admit that Lucite was right. Bradero had gradually become a big trend, and it was really not something that she, a mere little harpist, could shake.
