Because of the demon's ability to split, it is more accurate to say that George Kant is part of the demon of fire - Dizast. After all, Shade doesn't know how many parts the other party has divided himself into.
"But in this way, the mermaid must know what he is. There is no way it couldn't sense it when it appeared in the lake."
Shade thought to himself, and looked up at the oil painting of a giant tree on the wall.
【So, should we go to Yuewan to find it and ask about it? 】
The voice in his ear whispered softly, but Shade shook his head:
"Before I enter the area controlled by the great witch of chaos in the parliament as Chloe said, I will not take the initiative to see it again."
The giant tree in the oil painting is green and tall, which should depict the appearance of this giant tree in summer when its vitality is at its strongest:
"But this plan is really powerful. Before this, I had no doubt that George Kant was a devil. According to the doctor's description, he was a guy with a head full of flames, but now it seems that he is actually quite powerful."
Because he didn't know how many parts the demon had split into, and the other party was definitely targeting him, Shade pretended not to notice anything and continued to wander around the concert hall.
By the time he returned to Flora's dressing room, the witch had already changed into a cool black dress. I don't know what brand of softener Miss Bell applied to her hair. Now her hair was gray and black.
Her long hair was tied up with a silver ribbon, making her look extremely textured.
"How about it?"
Seeing Shade standing at the door looking at her, Flora held up the hem of her skirt and turned it around. Shade looked at her seriously for a while, and then nodded firmly:
"Quite beautiful."
"This evaluation is too simple. Please say a few more words."
The witch demanded with a smile, not caring that her followers were also around. Shade then thought about it, stepped forward and kissed her gently on the forehead. Although he didn't say a word, he looked at her
Flora felt even more satisfied.
Compared with the Moon Dance Festival Concert, the reputation of the Harvest Concert in Ximu Town is not that great, but when the performance started, the audience was still full. The abnormal weather since 1854 did not seem to have too much impact on this concert.
In the city in the forest, the so-called "harvest" seems to the people here to still arrive just like in previous years.
Shade and Miss Bell did not go to the auditorium, but had been waiting with Flora in the dressing room. When it was finally Flora's turn to go on stage, Shade accompanied her to the rest area backstage.
room.
Everyone here knows the famous "Miss Winslet", and her popularity among her peers seems to be quite good, so there will be no provocative plots that only appear in storybooks.
When it was Flora's turn to come on stage, Shade gave her a hug, and then the confident lady held up her skirt, climbed the steps and walked out of the curtain, walking from the backstage to the main stage of the golden music hall illuminated by lights.
Miss Bell and Shade stood together behind the curtain that blocked the view, watching Flora greet the audience with warm applause, and then sat down in front of the piano.
The stage was not decorated, and only a single piano was placed in the center of the stage. After the warm applause gradually subsided, the witch looked at the piano keyboard in front of her with a smile, and then reached out to press the keys.
When~
The long black dress shines under the soft gaslights above the stage, perfectly highlighting her elegance and dignity. The gray-black hair complements the shining silver ribbon, adding a unique look to her.
The extraordinary mysterious temperament of ordinary people.
Her slender fingers danced on the piano keys, and the sound of the piano sounded like weaving a spiritual picture. Every note was given life by her, and as she played, the air in the concert hall seemed to become more alive.
stand up.
The music is sometimes cheerful and sometimes melodious, making people feel like they can see elves dancing, chasing and playing in the forest. The lady's playing skills are superb, she is immersed in the music wholeheartedly, and every note seems to tell an ancient legend, full of
The power of life and the dynamic beauty.
As the piano music gradually got better, the lights above the stage gradually dimmed, leaving only a beam of light in the center shining on her, as if a goddess from another world had descended into the world.
At this time, the music also gradually changed from cheerful melody to soft and quiet, making people unable to help but hold their breath, as if they were immersed in the forest under the moonlit night.
"Flora named this piano piece "Forest Sonata No. 3". Does this mean that she has also composed piano music with forest themes before?"
Shade asked, looking at Flora's back through the gap in the curtain. Miss Bell on the side looked at her teacher and nodded slightly:
"Yes, those are also elf-style piano music. But the first and second sonatas are Miss Young. They are Miss Young's early works. Although everyone thinks highly of them, Miss herself thinks that the music is not very good, so
She rarely mentioned those works."
Shade continued to look at Flora intently. The girls around him all knew music and musical instrument performance. Even fortune tellers like Luvia, whose parents died young, could play the violin, but he was the only one who played the piano with Flora.
I felt an amazing feeling that cannot be described in words.
In contrast, although Vanessa has also performed for Shade, her beauty is passionate and unrestrained, while the witch in black dress in front of her is cold and mysterious. Shade really wants to organize some words now, and wait until
After a while, Flora praised her after leaving the show, but she didn't think about it for a long time.
Of course, he has not forgotten the real purpose of this performance, which is to complete the music to unlock the secret of the "Temple of Time". Therefore, although he looked at Flora with his eyes and communicated with Miss Bell with his mouth, his perception was not
Still trying to feel the traces of elements and spirit.
But unfortunately, until the last note stopped and Flora's slender and beautiful fingers left the keys, Shade was unable to notice any changes in the concert hall due to her performance.
There was still only one beam of light, illuminating Flora who stood up. It was not until she greeted the audience again that the audience woke up from a dream, and immediately a new round of thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Although the finale was
It hasn't started yet, but most of the audience has already determined in their hearts that Flora Winslet's performance is the best performance of this concert.
The artist at the peak of her career will probably dominate this stage for many years until she gradually retires from behind the scenes like Vanessa and becomes a new legend.
And at the moment when she faced the applause, the smile on Flora Winslet's face was like the starlight in the night sky. Although it was not conspicuous, it seemed to Shade, who was deliberately watching her, to be particularly calm and quiet.
“Very good, really good!”
Shade and Miss Bell welcomed her exit. Although this piano sonata was not the finale of the concert, it was also the third to last performance. Next was the symphony of the local orchestra, which required a lot of people, so the three
He gave up his position.
People in the waiting room all expressed their congratulations to Flora, and she herself was very satisfied with the performance. When walking through the corridor, Shade and Miss Bell were still praising the effect of the performance just now, but
After the three of them returned to the lounge, the smile on the witch's face disappeared:
"Did you feel it?"
"What do you feel?"
"At the end of the performance just now, I suddenly felt that there was a dark room in this concert hall, and now the dark room has been opened. This feels very strange.
Shade, a reporter should be looking for me soon. It's not convenient for me to leave here right now. Come on, I'll tell you the specific location. Now go and see what the ancient people left for us."
As expected, the location of the opened darkroom was in the area where the deceased Professor Quinto sleepwalked. It was not the ground part of the concert hall, but underground.
To be precise, it was the basement part of the original ancient temple ruins, which is now the steam engine room of the concert hall. It was not that Shade and Miss Denister had not been there when they were looking for clues in the concert hall last time, but
Shade was pretty sure he didn't find any secret room there.
But this time he searched based on the location given by Flora. He used illusions to deceive the workers in the steam engine room, stepped over the heavy pipes, stepped on the metal grid floor to cross the condensation pools, and then
In the remote southeast corner of the steam engine room, I saw a stone door that was obviously incompatible with today's basement.
For the sake of safety, the walls of the steam engine room were treated with fire protection and heat insulation during decoration, so the color of the stone door is not consistent with the wall. The stone door is turquoise, and in the center is the huge Tree Father Holy Emblem, which is a large golden
The tree support holds a dial that symbolizes time.
The symbol of the Holy Emblem is not static, because the steam engine room is extremely noisy and dim, so when you get closer, you can see the subtle clicking sound, and the pointer on the dial in the Holy Emblem is even moving.
"Unless Miss Danister and I were really blind last time, there is no reason why we couldn't see this secret door."
Therefore, this door must meet the conditions before it can appear, otherwise it will not be discovered even if the foundation is removed.
There was no light in this corner of the steam engine room, so the faint golden light of the Holy Emblem on the stone door was particularly obvious. Seeing that there was no door handle or keyhole on the stone door, Shade stretched out his hand to push it inward, and then found that even if he continued
No matter how hard I try, the door won't budge:
"Does Flora have to come in person to open it?"
[Or think differently.]
"For example, this door doesn't actually open inward, but pulls horizontally from left to right?"
Shade answered jokingly in his heart, then stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Holy Emblem, and the pointer actually moved by him.
