In the next few days, the word of mouth of "Beauty and the Devil" fermented in the form of a near explosion in the entire magical capital of Nolan.
Nolan is in the preparatory period for the World Expo. During this time, various countries have sent envoys to visit Nolan, not only the envoys, but also many nobles and magicians from all over the world who join in the fun are also rushing to participate in this exhibition. This is a festival that may only happen once every ten years.
This has also caused more than half of the audience who contributed to the box office of "Beauty and the Devil" from other countries.
Nolan's native nationals account for a very small part, and the rest are magicians who have dual nationalities of Nolan and other countries and come to Nolan to study.
In just a few days, "Beauty and the Devil" completely set off a trend in Nolan. The plot in the film became a topic for young people to talk about at afternoon tea with noble ladies. The golden dress Belle wore. There are even imitations of princess dresses in many clothing stores, the so-called "peripheries" on Earth.
Movies, a brand-new form of performance, took the opportunity of "Beauty and the Devil" to spread like a highly contagious virus.
And the one most affected by this virus is none other than the legendary "Flower of Pharossi" Caroline.
She is standing on the stage of the Nolan National Theater at this time, pulling the curtain for her fourth performance...
Caroline has always been in a state of absent-mindedness during performances. In the past, even if she thought the play she was performing was boring, she would continue to play it seriously.
And the reason why she is absent-minded today is that the audience's attention is not focused on her.
The audience present today is much smaller than before. When Carole finally ended, she vaguely heard the audience talking about the name Belle...
Carroll stepped off the stage and went behind the scenes.
"Why didn't you take me with you when you went to see "Beauty and the Devil" yesterday."
"Didn't you also grab a ticket this morning? How about it, that devil prince's mane must be very comfortable to touch."
"Others are evil..."
Caroline stood behind the two women who played supporting roles in the troupe, and when they noticed Caroline, they stopped talking.
"Big... miss..."
In the Black Swan troupe, Caroline's identity is absolute, because this troupe was originally founded by Caroline's father for her daughter.
"Don't worry about me, you go to rest."
There was no change on Carroll's face, and she still maintained a decent smile. After the two of them got Carroll's pardon, they left in a panic.
After they left, Carole was silent for a while, then walked into the dressing room to change out of her heavy dress and chose a simpler one.
"Miss, don't you really want to find that man..."
"Has his identity been found out?"
Carroll looked at the mirror and tied up her long jet-black hair that reached her waist. At the same time, a jet-black shadow was condensed under the influence of the mirror.
"This... Miss, it's better not to have contact with that man, really."
Shadow's tone seemed a little irritable.
But Caroline's expression was still very calm, as if she had already made up her mind not to change it.
"You just have to tell me who he is and what's behind it," Caroline said.
"I tried, but couldn't find any clues at all."
"Can't find any clues?"
Carroll stopped combing her hair and looked back at the shadow behind her, her expression finally showing a bit of surprise.
"You are the best apprentice of the guardian of the black wood. Can't you get any information just by relying on the inscriptions of 'concealment' and 'perception' unique to your family?"
This was the first time Carroll had heard her guard say that.
"Actually I know the two places where he lives, but I don't dare to get too close to him... Because he will be found, he seems to feel my presence."
The shadow recalled her recent mental journey of surveillance, and remembered another thing that she had to mention.
"Not only that, I also felt a terrible power in him!"
"How terrible?"
It was also the first time Caroline saw her bodyguard be so frightened.
"A breath of death, I have killed many necromancers, but the aura on him is far more terrifying than the sum of the necromancers I have killed before, plus he has an affair with demons..."
The information that the shadow said is enough to create a behind-the-scenes boss of the evil forces.
"Then can you protect me?"
Carroll continued to comb her hair and removed all the light makeup on her face.
"Of course there's no problem, wait... Miss, I said so much, you still want to see him?!"
"Where are the two places he lives?"
Shadow's irritable tone did not affect Caroline, she walked out of the locker room and walked towards the periphery of the scene.
"I... I'm going to talk to the Duke..."
She was a little panicked, but Carole stretched out her hand towards the void, and instantly grabbed a white arm, along with the arm there was a pointed ear, which also shook a bit.
A large number of pitch-black inscriptions were engraved on the surface of this arm, and the light that bloomed in the inscriptions gradually began to fade.
"Keep this a secret from father, or you know the consequences."
Caroline's burgundy pupils stared at the void calmly, as if she knew the figure in the shadow was standing there.
"I see."
The tone of voice in the shadow was a little vague, and finally went away and disappeared, and Caroline also pushed open the door and left behind the scenes.
"Miss Carroll!"
Professor Sarinya had been waiting at the door for a long time, and he was about to tell Carroll about the next performance.
But when Professor Sarinya saw Caroline's plain clothes and a new hairstyle, Professor Sarinya realized that the black swan didn't want to stay in the lake peacefully anymore!
"Where are you going, Miss Carroll?"
Professor Shalinya is ready to serve as a tour guide for Caroline at any time. Recently, he is also holding back his anger, because Bai Jinghua Theater has completely robbed his business in just a few days!
The most irritating thing is that he also went to the Bai Jinghua Theater to buy tickets, more than once!
Why can't I hold this hand!
That was the idea that popped into Professor Shalinya's head at the time.
Now the only trump card in his hand that can beat the White Jinghua Theater is the Black Swan Theater...
"I heard there's a new pub three streets in front of the theatre," said Carole.
"Wine... tavern? Miss Carrolle, you can't go to that filthy place, where it's full of stinky dwarves and drunken hangovers!"
Professor Shalinya doesn't have much of a problem with dwarves. These creatures who work as miners in the ground all day never understand art, or they never donate a ticket to his theater, even a proud elves will give him The theater brings in some money.
"Are you still racist?"
Carroll glanced at the shadow behind her. Many years ago, human beings did have a great barrier to other races, such as dwarves or elves, but since the emergence of Nolan, the capital of magic.
This place has not only become the center of all countries in the world, but also the center of the intersection of various races in the world. Under the influence of Nolan, the estrangement between human beings and other races has gradually disappeared. Proud of the Dwarf Master.
It is really rare to find humans who discriminate against dwarves now.
"No... this, let me lead the way."
Professor Shalinya couldn't explain how to explain it. He could only use this reason to change the subject.
So Carroll came to the outside of the theater and got on the carriage, which slowly drove to the commercial street not far from the Nolan National Theater.
