The silence in the auditorium will affect the actors on the stage, but fortunately, all the actors on the stage are professional actors. Silver Jasmine Opera Troupe is also a well-known opera troupe in mainland China. The performance went on in an orderly manner, and the enthusiasm and voices of the actors were not affected by the weird atmosphere in the audience.
Jenkins has been able to guess how much information will be sent from the city tonight in various ways, and he realizes that the Duke of Antak's affairs will definitely not go well. Even though the Duke's whereabouts are still unknown, and even though he may be under strict surveillance by the people in the tree house, the current developments actually have little to do with him.
"Maybe I'll never see Antak again in my life, count him lucky."
Boom~
The loud noise completely disrupted the rhythm of the music and also broke the silence in the auditorium.
A big hole was broken in the ceiling above the stage, and the lamps were also pulled down, leaving only two lamps that could barely illuminate. In the darkness and smoke, a woman's scream became the signal to start the attack, but it was soon silenced by a man's roar.
"No one is allowed to move. I have 38 B6 steam bombs on me. As long as anyone dares to step out of the gate over there, I will die with everyone here!"
The sound came from the darkened stage, passed through the smoke and cracked floors, ceiling beams, and reached everyone's ears.
The smoke cleared away quickly, revealing the figure of Antak who jumped down from the second floor. Most of the lamps on the stage were damaged by the fall, and only two lamps were still on, and Antak was standing under one of them.
During the opening of the opera, no other lights were allowed. The only two lights left in the smoke and dust on the stage were the only lights in the hall, and all eyes were focused on the man under the lights.
I haven't seen the Duke of Antak for a few days, and he seems to be doing well, at least his face is rosy and he doesn't look half disabled. He was wearing a black overcoat, which was pulled away by both hands, revealing the steam bomb wrapped around his upper body and two long swords around his waist.
"I repeat, as long as someone dares to step out of that door, no matter who it is, then everyone will die together!"
His voice is powerful and sonorous, a unique way of articulating, which is mastered by most actors and speakers.
"Antak, what do you want to do? Do you really want an all-out war between the two countries?"
A man's voice came from the box on the second floor higher up, and Jenkins was not sure who was speaking.
"I'm here to find William!"
Britney squeezed Jenkins' left hand.
"I'm coming for Jenkins Williams!"
Jenkins pinches Chocolate's tail, then gets a claw scratch.
"I'm coming to Jenkins Williams! I'll fight you, you coward! A duel of honor! Whoever wins, wed Miss Britney Michelle!"
Hathaway's hand nearly tore Jenkins' arm off.
"Fight me now, William! No matter whether you win or lose, everyone here can leave, but only one of us can survive!"
dang lang~
A sword was removed from his belt and dropped under another surviving lamp on the stage. The Duke looked directly at Jenkins who stood up in the dark, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he couldn't tell what mood he was in.
But Jenkins believes that he should be in a very good mood now. Because Jenkins saw that the sword he threw was an ordinary weapon, and the sword left for him was specially treated by the ceremony.
In Jenkins' recollection, the Duke of Antak seems to have mentioned that he did mention marriage to the Marquis Mihail, but the Marquis did not agree due to various considerations. So now to challenge Jenkins to a duel for this reason, in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no logical problem.
The Duke of Antak knew of Jenkins' superficial secular identity, and also knew that Jenkins was a benefactor. Proposing a duel in public, he knew that it was impossible for Jenkins to use his extraordinary ability before him, after all, there were many sensitive people here. This is a rare good opportunity. It is not easy to gather Nolan's big shots together. Appearing on the stage in a way that attracts everyone's attention is his means of guaranteeing his victory.
As for the reason for this incident now, he messed up things related to Skrull Pompeii. Even if he has the [Stage Fanlock] in front of the [Stage of Destiny], he must make some achievements to win the trust tree. Room. Now that he has become a wanted man, he has nowhere to go but the tree house, which is the deep purpose.
Jenkins was picked for a reason too, as Jenkins beat the Duke straight up the first time he used the Mystic. Antak is not a man with a broad mind. Since the tree house is going to make a big deal in Nolan, it is natural to choose Jenkins. Moreover, he had a vague premonition that the evolution of his ability might be inseparable from this young disciple of the sage.
Of course, he didn't tell anyone about it, because the lunatics in the tree house were also untrustworthy in his eyes.
In the eyes of those who don't know, the Duke of Antak's reckless terrorist attack in a foreign country already has many doubts. Now he appeared in a public place where he was wanted, and challenged another young man of similar age to a duel. The purpose behind it was really intriguing. It was used to disgust the church and the city hall.
"Williamette, don't say nothing. This is an opera you wrote. I know you must be here! Come out. If you don't come out, everyone here will be buried with you!"
The Duke shouted again, and lifted his coat even harder. This type of steam bomb does not need to be ignited or collided. It only needs to break off the stuck protective shell after pulling the safety, and press the protrusion on the surface of the bomb to detonate.
So the Duke of Antak could detonate these things at any time, but Jenkins knew very well that he cared about his own life.
Slightly raised his head and looked upwards, the unfamiliar eighth-level benefactor stood at the southeast corner of the theater building, which seemed to be the corner of the wall or the extension of the window. He is here to protect Antak, and his abilities and identity are useful to the organization. Once Antak fails, he is going to make a big news here before the two escape, as revenge for the missing demigod of the tree house.
It must be the power of the church that can kill Clark locally.
The appearance of such confidence is because he knows that it is impossible for Nolan's demigods to come to the opera house in the outer suburbs. Even if all plans fail, he can escape easily. Demigods are just mortals, but they are incomparably powerful mortals. This is a normal cognition.
"There are so many demigods in the tree house, how many have appeared in the past six months?"
Jenkins muttered in his heart, ignoring Britney's hand to force him, he broke free with his left hand and raised it above his head.
