In the empty theater, the soothing music of the piano echoed.
The notes passed through the windows covered with green vines and entered the streets of Chuxin City. Everyone passing by the theater couldn't help but stop and listen when they heard the beating notes.
Beautiful music can always make people feel relaxed and happy. Listening to it even for a short time can add some energy to a busy schedule.
The only pity is that music time is always short.
Accompanied by the dripping sound of the Dongquan water, the sound of the piano came to an end until it disappeared.
Pedestrians on the road became lively again in the afterglow.
In the Ocean Theater, Jon removed his hands from the keys, took a deep breath, and thought to himself: Luigi will choose this for his homework tomorrow.
Yes, the person who played the piano just now was Jon. He was not playing for self-appreciation, but trying a variety of styles just to start a new round of question tactics for Luigi.
However, he had already given today's homework to Angel, and what he was playing now was actually tomorrow's homework that he had chosen after estimating Luigi's progress.
Playing it in advance is also a kind of rehearsal. It will prevent Angel from accidentally making a mistake when he comes tomorrow.
"That's right. Although I haven't played this piece for a long time, my hands are still warm and I didn't press the wrong keys." Jon mumbled and stood up from the piano bench.
The piano bench is too uncomfortable to sit on, so it's better to go back and lie down on the master's chair.
Jon stretched his body while pressing his sore tailbone, moaning comfortably.
Although the image of this action is not very good, Jon doesn't care. Anyway, there is no one in the theater now...
However, just as Jon was thinking this, a familiar sound came to his ears.
bang bang bang
This is applause.
Jon was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at the seats under the stage.
There was no one in the first row, and no one in the second row. It wasn't until Jon's eyes swept to the penultimate row near the theater door that he saw a figure.
It was this person who clapped his hands.
Jon remembered clearly that there was no one there just now, so how could there be anyone in the theater now? When Jon was confused, he saw the door of the theater... slightly open.
He suddenly realized that this person had probably walked in through the crack in the open door. He had just been immersed in the performance, so he didn't notice anyone coming to the theater.
Jon sighed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he wore a smile and quickly restored his lazy appearance to a tall and capable one.
Jon smiled, nodded to the figure, then pretended to be calm and prepared to go down the steps from the side of the stage, preparing to go backstage first.
As for pushing people away, that's not his job. What's more, if the other person applauds, they are his fans. There is no reason for an idol to chase fans away.
However, before Jon could leave from the passage under the stage, the man sitting in the back seat got up first and walked over.
"The piano music just played was very good. I heard that there was a musical performance of "Night Owl" in the theater recently. Is this a rehearsal song?"
Fans were chasing after him, so Jon couldn't leave immediately. He could only stand still and turned around and said: "It's a rehearsal song, but I can't reveal whether it will be used in "Night Owl"."
As Jon spoke, he looked at the person coming.
The other person was an old man wearing a gentleman's dress, with his white hair neatly styled and very stylish.
Although Jon could not say that he knew all the residents of Chuxin City, he was certain that they looked familiar. The white-haired old man in front of him was an absolute stranger.
Jon could be sure that he had never seen this old man in Chuxin City.
Since he is not from Chuxin City, he is most likely from New City? So he is a wizard?
Jon has been to New City and met many wizards. He can feel that wizards have a different temperament from other people. But the white-haired old man in front of him does not have that unique temperament. Instead, he is more like an ordinary person.
people.
While Jon was secretly guessing the identity of the other party, the white-haired old man was also looking at Jon.
He heard in the tree group that this man was Angel's enlightenment mentor. Although Jon was a mortal, he still gave people a very good impression. Moreover, the magnanimity he developed was exactly the same as Angel's.
.
He is worthy of being the first person to shape and guide Angel's three views.
"Old sir, do you want to watch the musical "Night Owl"? The performances are usually performed at 8pm on odd numbers every week. There is one today, but you are early." Jon said.
The white-haired old man said: "I did come to see "Night Owl". I originally planned to come later, but unexpectedly I heard the sound of a piano on the way, so I took the liberty to enter the theater."
Jon waved his hand: "This is not presumptuous, the theater belongs to everyone."
The white-haired old man: "It's still some time before eight o'clock in the evening. Can I stay in the theater and wait for the musical to go online?"
"Of course." Jon still has a good impression of this white-haired old man. He is very aristocratic but not aristocratic. This reminds him of Angel's father, the old Pat who took him in.
.
Because of this good impression, Jon couldn't help but add another sentence: "However, according to the theater's procedures, there will actually be a stage show later. If the old gentleman is not afraid of being spoiled, he can still stay here.
If there is a staff member discussing it with you, you can also say that it was arranged by me, and they will naturally understand."
The white-haired old man nodded with a smile: "Then I won't be afraid of being spoiled if I close my eyes."
Musicals are listening to music, so what is the effect of closing your eyes? Jon was complaining in his heart, but he still had a warm smile on his face: "Then I wish you sir a happy musical night."
After finishing speaking, Jon showed an apologetic look to the white-haired old man: "I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
The white-haired old man said nothing and watched Jon leave from the side of the stage with a smile.
After Jon left, the white-haired old man randomly chose a seat and sat down, with a hint of thought in his eyes: "Jon, Angel's enlightenment mentor. He is a bit like an aborigine in the Wilderness of Dreams, but a little different.
Like...but it is said that he has never been offline."
"His physical fitness is much weaker than other aborigines, which is also a rare situation in the Wilderness of Dreams."
"As far as I know, after anyone enters the Wilderness of Dreams, there is almost no big difference in physical fitness. This is true even for people who are seriously ill."
"But he is different. His physical weakness is too obvious...either he was affected by something in the wilderness of dreams, or he encountered an almost rule-based erosion in reality."
"But Angel's enlightenment mentor is an ordinary person, how could he encounter rule erosion?"
"It's a little strange."
"Forget it, these are not important. No matter how strange he is, he is just an ordinary person. Moreover, Angel has mastered that kind of power. Maybe he influenced Jon?"
The white-haired old man was mumbling. If Jon were here and heard what he said, he would probably be shocked. Just by meeting him once, a lot of information can be deduced.
He even conducted a detailed investigation into the differences between the Dream Wilderness and reality, and he could tell at a glance that Jon's frail body was abnormal.
Not to mention Jon, even Angel would be surprised when he heard it.
Because according to the deduction of the white-haired old man, the next step is to guess whether the will of the world has eroded. And there is only one situation when the will of the world erodes ordinary people: visitors from other worlds.
If the white-haired old man really takes things seriously, Jon's identity may not be hidden.
However, if Angel were really here and saw the white-haired old man's face, he would be able to understand his sensitivity.
After all, this person is currently the only... legendary being in the Southern Wizarding World.
Yes, the white-haired old man is the inspector.
…
The Inspector has been in the Wilderness of Dreams for some time, and he has a general understanding of the situation here.
And the more they got to know him, the more incredible the inspector felt about Angel.
When he was in the source world, he once heard that the Grindelwald Institute of Magic had proposed an idea: to establish a "magic network" in the source world that could enable unbounded communication at any time.
It is said that the academicians of the Special Research Institute planned to use magic power of specific frequencies as branches to connect major regions. But in the end, the magic network failed to succeed. There were too many difficulties and obstacles, and it was difficult to even get started.
Angel's Wilderness of Dreams perfectly realized the original idea of the "Magic Network", and he went a step further to directly project people in reality into the "Magic Network" and constructed a special
The world of consciousness.
This is a work of genius that is even more magical than the Magic Network!
It is like creating a special world similar to the soul plane and the mirror realm, allowing everyone to become a being similar to a "spirit world walker" and a "mirror walker".
Although the Wilderness of Dreams is limited to the Southern Wizarding World, we can still see its endless potential.
In the opinion of the observers, if the Wilderness of Dreams could be recreated in the source world, it would probably set off a new round of wizard revolution.
Precisely because they saw the potential of the Dream Wilderness, the inspectors were also full of curiosity about the suspected creator of the Dream Wilderness: Angel.
He knew that Angel controlled the power "there", and there should be deep water behind it. He couldn't ask Angel directly, so he could only get a glimpse of the secret through the people around Angel.
He didn't necessarily want to find out the truth, he was just... curious.
Curiosity itself is the driving force of wizards.
As a veteran legendary wizard, he has actually lost his curiosity about many things. Now that he is rarely curious, he naturally wants to find out.
This time, he appeared at the Ocean Theater just to see Angel's enlightenment mentor.
However, according to his observations, although there is something strange about Jon, he should not have much connection with the Wilderness of Dreams.
Moreover, if you delve too deeply into Jon's strangeness, you might offend Angel.
He didn't want to be on bad terms with Angel.
Because of this, he didn't have much conversation with Jon just now. He just secretly remembered some information and then retreated.
He did not leave immediately. Since he said he wanted to watch "Night Owl", there was no way he could break his promise. Besides, as an inspector, he was almost idle when there was no mysterious disaster in the Southern Territory... Moreover, he couldn't
Exposed to the bright side of the Southern Wizarding World.
There isn't much he can actually do every day.
Listening to musicals and watching plays are also his hobbies.
"Night Owl" is said to be a script written by Jon himself. It tells the story of family, humanity and love from the perspective of a cat. It was well received when it was performed by Shoshin Josuke.
Using an animal perspective as a metaphor for human beings is not new in the script, but it is the first time that the inspector has heard it in a musical, so he really wants to hear what kind of performance "Night Owl" can perform
Fireworks.
However, it's still some time before the musical starts, so he can't just sit there all the time.
The inspector thought for a while, took out the Mother Tree Interconnector from his pocket, and prepared to kill some time.
When talking about the Magic Network before, the observer actually thinks that the Mother Tree Network may be more similar to the Magic Network. However, the functions of the Mother Tree Network are also more complete than the Magic Network concept proposed by the Greenwald Institute of Magic.
He really likes to see what other people think through the Mother Tree Network.
Especially the Mother Tree Forum, he saw a lot of interesting ideas here, and the topics were eclectic, which inspired him a lot.
As usual, the inspector checked the Mother Tree Forum to see if anyone had commented on his previous replies, and to see if any of the posts he was following had been updated.
After daily browsing, the inspector starts looking at new posts.
With this swipe, he saw a post with a laurel badge in front of the title.
According to the understanding of the inspectors who have been in the forum for many days, the laurel badge refers to high-quality posts, which is the official review team, and it is a reflection that the post is very valuable.
Generally speaking, there are more Laurel boutique posts in the non-extraordinary section, but in the extraordinary section, there were none before.
It is said that most of the members of the review team are part-time apprentices, and there is no authoritative wizard, so it is difficult to evaluate the content of the extraordinary section.
But now, the inspector saw the Laurel Premium Post in the Extraordinary section, which surprised him.
Could it be that... the review team has expanded its recruitment? The academics inside the Savage Cave have been stationed in the review team?
Although he didn't understand the specific situation, the inspector opened this post with great interest: the first issue of "The Wilderness Traveler".
After opening the post, the inspector looked at the person who posted it, and he probably understood why it was a high-quality post.
The poster is Angel.
Regardless of the review team or the development team, the initiator behind it is Angel. How can it be said that his posts are not refined?
Moreover, this is the first time that the inspector has seen Angel’s post after being in the Mother Tree Forum for so long.
With full curiosity, the inspector began to read bit by bit in order from the main issue to the supplement.
Soon, the inspector had read the entire post.
After reading it, he probably understood why Angel wanted to create a "newspaper", which could not only popularize science among participants in the Dream Wilderness, but also lay the foundation for the future opening of the Dream Wilderness.
