Trafford’s Trading Club

"Atteention, please! Due to the track failure, the Eurostar will be suspended from now on. Passengers who have purchased tickets please go..."

"attention, please..."

They suddenly broke out and became a noisy group in the waiting hall of the train station.

how so?

The orc girl looked at the updated translation of station information on the mobile phone translation software in surprise. She was preparing to log in to Eurostar in an 'extra' way, and couldn't help but frown.

"Sister, what happened?"

The orc girl didn't say anything, she just put a hood on Oga, then pulled him quickly to a deserted place, while explaining what happened.

"Fault?" Oga was quite surprised when he learned the cause. He could hardly understand English, but he could see the time on the electronic clocks everywhere, "Then we..."

"Let me see if there are any other routes. Don't worry, there will be a way." The orc girl comforted softly, "In the worst case, we will wait until the repairs are completed. This route will not be closed forever. Maybe it will be fine tomorrow. "

Although this was the case, facing the pursuer and being in such a foreign country, she felt quite dangerous for one more day... Another route? Apart from this undersea tunnel across the ocean, where is the other way?

Take a boat ride... She no longer wants to take a boat ride.

Not only was she left in the cabin with a shadow after being captured by the orc traffickers, but she also had an instinctive fear of the sea. She was an orc who couldn't swim and was afraid of water.

As for the plane... obviously getting on the plane is not as convenient as smuggling on the train.

"Let's get out of here first..."

Thinking about it, the orc girl pulled Oga and left the train station while the passengers were confused.

…

…

Her Majesty's Theatre, Her Majesty's Room.

"...Okay, I understand." After putting down the phone, Lancelot came to Her Majesty the Queen's side, looked at Her Majesty the Queen who seemed a little absent-minded at this time and said: "Mr. Pukins is calling. The knight agency has successfully arrested all the members of the 'Doomsday Myth' on the attack list extracted from Red. And because it was deployed in advance, only one person was seriously injured and four were slightly injured in this operation."

"Oh...that's great." Although she was absent-minded, Her Majesty the Queen had obviously received the message. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you for saving our country again."

For Her Majesty the Queen, although the current political system does not allow her to have the power that a monarch should have, it is obvious that she does not want to be a monarch who is blackmailed and eventually divides the country, thereby leaving a stigma.

"I should reward the person who successfully captured Red, Lancelot, are you right?" Her Majesty the Queen seemed to be in a much better mood, and she even smiled more.

"Perhaps it would be more appropriate for you to discuss this with Mr. Pukins." Lancelot said slowly. "Although almost all members of the 'Doomsday Myth' operating within our country have been arrested this time, according to intelligence, this organization's The [ ] leader and several other key players did not show up, so this matter may not be over yet.”

Her Majesty the Queen seemed to recall the past, and while combing the pet's hair slowly, she said slowly, "In my life, I have met many so-called revolutionary parties and underground organizations... They all have one thing in common, you Do you know what it is?"

She glanced at Lancelot, whose expression remained unchanged, and smiled: "That is, they all attach great importance to their companions. If Mr. Pukins and other heads of the knight organization are smart, maybe You can try to publicly execute these thugs who have been captured..."

Lancelot opened his mouth slightly... She had been protecting him closely for the past two years.

Most of the time, this queen has a friendly image...the image that the people of the country need.

Even with her, after being in contact with her for such a long time, the Queen has always been calm and calm, as if she is a lady who doesn't understand anything and doesn't want to pay attention to anything.

But after all, she has experienced the baptism of war and is still the longest-reigning queen in the world...

"Oh, the show has finally started." Her Majesty the Queen suddenly picked up the hand glasses happily at this time, "Finally, the wait has come."

She seemed unwilling to continue the previous topic, her interest already attracted by the slowly rising curtain.

Lancelot followed the queen's gaze and looked at the stage below. At the same time, he subconsciously glanced elsewhere, but saw no trace of the mysterious man and woman.

Behind Her Majesty the Queen, Lancelot took out the metal rose, thoughtfully.

At this time, everything was quiet. On the stage, under the dim light, as the curtain rose, the low voice of the prologue narration slowly sounded:

"Turandot, the princess of Xiang Kingdom, is as beautiful as a peach blossom and as cold as frost. The prince and grandson are looking for a phoenix, and they are intoxicated and crazy about beauty. A single woman with a heart of iron, she has to test the prince's consort with three difficult questions, and a butcher's knife shines with cold light..."

…

Different from the sound of the story on the stage where the brass, vocals and the performance of the symphony orchestra intersect, the sound behind the stage is much more majestic.

Whether it is the actors preparing to go on stage, the actors who have just come off the stage and are busy changing clothes, or the employees in charge of props, or the conductors backstage... everyone is in an atmosphere of urgency and tension.

As the plot develops, there are obviously more and more places that need to be taken into consideration.

"Caesar! Caesar? Who can tell me where Caesar is! He will appear soon! Can anyone tell me if there is a missing actor?"

The troupe's experience makes him anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Not to mention normal times, when he can't find an actor before going on stage, he will be furious. What's more, this is the most important male lead role? What's more, Her Majesty the Queen of Britain even came in person today... If there was a wife, he wouldn't have to be the manager.

"Didn't you see him? Come and find him quickly!" The furious troupe manager said angrily: "Three minutes! I only give you three minutes. If you can't find him, tell him not to come back!" Stu, get ready, if Caesar doesn’t show up within three minutes, you will take his place! You will be the leading actor tonight!"

A temporary substitution, and he is also the most important male protagonist in the play, this is probably only slightly better than screwing up the performance... The manager of the troupe kicked the props and costume hangers quite inelegantly, "Hurry up and find it!!!"

…

fail.

fail.

The group is destroyed.

fail……

On the screen of the mobile phone, messages came one after another... The senders all had the same name: Dobas.

The man was silent from beginning to end. He was wearing an ancient Chinese costume with strong Western elements.

Caesar...the actor who plays the leading role of Khafre in the Turandot troupe.

Not only is he here, there is another old man in the same costume as the actor of Prince Calaf's father in the play.

"Caesar, Dobas's intelligence will not be wrong... We really failed in this operation." The old man's face was heavy, "Sure enough, the Knight Agency has pried open Red's mouth! They already know They took everything from us! How on earth did they pry open Red’s mouth in such a short period of time! That’s a guy who will keep secrets even if he dies!”

He with flaxen hair... Caesar slowly put on his opera hat. He even prepared his makeup in front of the mirror, "Get ready for last time. The performance must continue."

"Caesar! Most of our companions have been captured by the Knight Agency! They may not all be tight-lipped... You see, even Red's mouth has been pried open! Our whereabouts may have been leaked... Retreat, Caesar! We still have You can accumulate strength and wait for the next opportunity.”

He had already arranged his makeup and stood up, "Judas, do you... know why the Queen suddenly came to this theater today."

"You...you did something behind the scenes?"

Under the surprised look of the old man, Caesar opened the door and walked out.

…

On the side of the stage, three minutes had passed, and even under the anger of the troupe manager, another minute was delayed.

"There's no other way! Paisitu, please come on stage! Don't mess up the show, or I will pop your butt with a wooden stick!"

The young man...the substitute's face looked like a bitter gourd after being squeezed out of water with salt and powder. He was even pushed hard from behind by the troupe manager.

"Wait a minute...Caesar shows up! Oh! Oh my God, he's in!"

This is not the metropolitan version of Turandot, so the tactic of "sea of ​​people" is not used... but there are actually quite a few actors of all kinds on the stage.

The lights moved to the center of the stage, and a handsome man slowly walked down the steps set up on the stage... He became the focus of everyone's attention.

The music began to play under the conductor's baton. This was the first scene of Prince Calaf's appearance. It tells the story of Prince Calaf's unexpected reunion with his old father in the royal city.

Under the shining lights, His Highness the Prince slowly sang in a low and then high-pitched voice:

Disappear, night!

The stars are sinking, the stars are sinking!

I will be victorious at dawn!

I will win!

I will win!

The piano pipes stopped, and the conductor's baton was frozen in the air at this time, as if it was difficult to swing... The entire orchestra's performance also stopped.

Under the surprised eyes of the audience, there was only the solo voice of the handsome man under the stage lights.

…

"...Is this the last part of 'Nessun Dorma'? Is Caesar crazy!" The troupe manager seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he stood stunned on the spot!

This guy didn't follow the script, but sang the songs from the last few scenes!

He only felt the world spinning... At this time, he no longer knew how to deal with this sudden crisis, "Oh, God, Paisitu, use your wooden stick to knock me out!"

"Where did I... get the stick??"

…

"Lancelot, tell me, did I miss the previous chapter? If I wasn't stupid, this should be the next track."

During the dinner, Her Majesty the Queen put down her hand-held glasses in surprise and turned around in confusion, only to see that her guardian knight was not listening to the performance very attentively.

She just looked at the metal rose in her hand silently, as if she was distracted.

…

What should I say?

Different from the temporary confusion of many viewers, in a corner of the theater's public seats, Boss Luo blinked, then turned to look at his maid, and asked abruptly: "Do you think... am I really not suitable for walking around?" ah."

The maid lady had almost no expression. She just looked at the stage and her eyes moved slightly.

But at this moment, a large amount of smoke suddenly appeared around the stage... This was not a special effect smoke, but a substance that would make people instantly comatose after being inhaled!

The audience in the front row, who had inadvertently inhaled the gas, fell on their seats one after another. Only then did people begin to become frightened.

They stood up in fear, and everyone pushed and screamed in fear. However, not only under the stage, but also from the ventilation ducts around it, the stupefying mist also emerged.

The audience fell down one by one... and on the stage, the actors had already fainted one step earlier, naturally wrapping up the people on both sides of the stage.

At this time, only the actor who played Prince Calaf and the old man who played the prince's father were still standing among the many fallen people as usual.

He still sang loudly:

Destiny is as fickle as the moon, waxing and waning alternately;

A hateful life interweaves misery and happiness;

No matter whether rich or poor, they will melt and die like ice and snow.

The terrible and nihilistic wheel of fate, you turn ruthlessly, you are vicious and cruel, destroying all happiness and beautiful expectations, your shadow casts a shadow over me and makes me confused, you also knock me down;

Disaster struck, and my **back was mercilessly crushed by you.

Fate destroyed my health and will, struck mercilessly, and oppressed me cruelly, enslaving all living beings.

At this moment, there must be no hesitation;

For the most useless warrior who has been defeated by fate, let the strings ring and join me in lamenting and wailing!

stop.

…

The sound echoed in the theater, and the invading thick fog slowly sank, sinking and then diluting in the air, gradually dissipating... Caesar slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a clear burst of applause rang out in the theater that seemed dead at this moment.

Everyone should have fainted... The moment the applause sounded, both Caesar and the old man Judas beside him followed the sound of the applause in surprise.

On the first-level ladder seats, among the people who fell down, they could see two people sitting on the seats, awake...

That applause came from the hands of one of the sober young men... Luo Qiu.

It wasn't just about using applause to attract the attention of the singer on the stage... Boss Luo's applause stopped after a while.

"Excuse me, what's next?"
