Chapter 1176: The Golden Stage Singing of Glory

Just before Xia De decided whether to ask about Miss Lassus's father, the witch asked Xia De:

"Can the book you summoned with your curse stay away from you?"

The book's cover was the translucent color of a starry sky, and it looked extraordinary:

"It cannot stay away from me."

"That's good. While you are here tonight, Lassus, go find Fia and have her draw this person. This is a very key figure."

Miss Lassus nodded and turned to find that Miss "Fia." Xia De remembered that the other party was the troupe's makeup artist. In an opera troupe, one could almost find people proficient in various professions, which was much more convenient than other Ringed Shushi organizations.

"Are you sure you want to give this to me to concoct the potion?"

After Miss Lassus left, Miss Bernice confirmed further:

"I need to remind you that although the potion can cure the problem in my soul, it will also destroy this cup. Yes, completely destroy this cup."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it is useful to you."

Xia De said with a smile, while in his heart, he imagined the comical scene of Miss Bernice eating the cup after drinking the potion.

Luvia, who was watching from the side, probably understood the way Xia De interacted with the witches, and guessed in her heart when Xia De would be able to completely master the Witch Council.

It didn't take too long to make the 【Universal Earth Elixir】 using the "Earthen Holy Grail." In order to be able to sing for Xia De in the best state later, Miss Bernice decided to prepare it now. Luvia was quite curious about the process of making the potion, so Miss Bernice invited her to help make the potion together, and by teaching this method to Xia De in this way, it could be considered a reward for him.

The 【Universal Earth Elixir】 could solve most epidemics and curses caused by problems with the land, and its versatility was still relatively strong.

As for Xia De, he continued to wait in Miss Bernice's office. About fifteen minutes later, the maid brought the new guest to the door of the office. The maid, who had already received Miss Bernice's instructions, did not say who was in the room at the moment, so the Princess, who was uneasy, knocked on the door tentatively:

"Miss Vanessa Bernice, I am Margaret Anjou. May I come in?"

"Please come in."

Xia De, who was sitting on the sofa flipping through "Randall Valley Folklore," said. The Princess outside the door heard the man's voice and looked at the maid beside her somewhat unexpectedly. Seeing the latter reveal a smile, she suddenly understood something.

She immediately pushed open the door and saw Xia De standing up from the sofa:

"Good evening, Margaret. Do you like it here?"

"Oh, Xia De!"

She didn't care that Miss Bernice's maid and her own maid were outside, opened her arms, walked over, and hugged Xia De:

"Really, you clearly came to the train station to meet me on Friday, why haven't you come to find me these past two days?"

The Princess said somewhat reproachfully.

"I've been busy with other things recently."

"Yes, yes, on Thursday, the knight riding a cat."

She teased. After letting go of Xia De, the look in her eyes when she looked at him had no blame, only joy:

"I should have guessed it earlier. Since there is a Great Witch here, you would definitely appear at the witch's place."

"Margaret, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

The Princess didn't answer, but adjusted the crown on her head, stood slightly on tiptoe in her silver-white high heels under her dress, and took the initiative to kiss Xia De.

Because the kiss was too engrossed, she didn't notice when Luvia and Miss Bernice returned. Regarding the relationship between Xia De and Princess Margaret, who was about to accept her apprenticeship trial, Miss Bernice didn't feel strange; Miss Sylvia had probably already mentioned it. Margaret was quite curious about the relationship between Xia De and Luvia, but obviously, this was not the time to talk about it.

Margaret Anjou did not have the talent for space, so it was impossible for her to become Miss Sylvia's apprentice no matter what. But after confirming her relationship with Xia De before the Year-End Festival, the young witch intended to give her a chance, which was why she introduced her to Miss Bernice. The Princess (Chapter incomplete!)

core spirit rune included 【Earth】, and she herself was good at stories and puppets, which was very similar to Miss Bernice's system.

Of course, even if she was introduced by Miss Sylvia, Miss Bernice would absolutely not go easy on her.

During Margaret's stay in the city, she would complete a series of tasks for the witch to prove her ability. Originally, this was Miss Bernice's most important matter recently, but obviously, the follow-up handling of the "Mad Earth" would take up a lot of her energy.

This should be considered good news for Margaret.

In short, the witch and the Princess met for the first time, and Xia De reunited with Margaret. No matter what everyone would encounter next, at least tonight, no one had tasks and trials that must be completed.

Margaret brought a carriage full of gifts for Miss Bernice, so Miss Bernice invited her to listen to the performance prepared specifically for Xia De.

The potion had been drunk, and the soul affected by the madness of the earth had returned to its original state.

Miss Bernice didn't need makeup and went on stage directly from the backstage. Xia De, along with Miss Lassus, Luvia, and Margaret, entered from the side door of the No. 1 Performance Hall, and the four sat in the front row of the empty performance hall.

"This is truly an incredible opportunity."

Margaret sat on Xia De's right side and whispered to Xia De:

"Miss Bernice hasn't performed in public for many years."

"Yes, I also don't remember how long Vanessa hasn't been on stage."

Miss Lassus sat on Margaret's right side:

"If it weren't to fulfill Mr. Hamilton's wish, she definitely wouldn't have done this."

"It's really exciting."

Luvia, sitting on Xia De's left side, added in a low voice:

"This must be a night that is hard to forget."

With a *pop* sound, first the crystal lamp overhead went out, and then the gas lamps on both sides of the wall flickered and extinguished their light one by one from front to back.

It was pitch black all around, and Luvia on the left quietly reached out and grabbed Xia De's hand. Just at this moment, the stage curtain in front of the four opened. On the stage, which was also pitch black, as the lights appeared and gathered in the center, Miss Vanessa Bernice, wearing a bright red long dress, with golden long hair draped behind her, and stepping on silver-white patent leather high heels, appeared under the only light.

The orchestra behind the curtain began to play. In the violin solo at the very beginning, Miss Bernice spun in place on the stage. As the red long dress bloomed on the stage like a flower, golden light spots were thrown out with the rotation of the skirt.

The light traces flying from different positions of the skirt bloomed in an arc with a common curvature on the stage, constructing a larger and more complex flower pattern. In the golden light traces, the dark stage was illuminated bit by bit.

The area of the stage seemed to become more huge before their eyes, and the ceiling overhead dissolved in the rotating light spots, revealing the vast starry sky. But the only beam of light was always gathered on Miss Bernice.

They under the stage saw red silk falling from a high place, saw golden pillars rising one by one at the back of the stage, and saw water of unknown origin falling from the golden wall at the back, forming a scene like a waterfall under the starry sky.

Golden ornaments reflecting the moonlight decorated the stage, and calls and cheers came from all around. Even the ceiling above the auditorium completely dissolved, and the starlight illuminated the gentlemen and ladies who appeared in the auditorium at some unknown time, illuminating the shining golden stage.

"This is..."

"Yes, Vanessa's Mythical Domain: The Golden Stage Singing of Glory."

Miss Lassus looked with nostalgia at the blonde witch standing under the starlight, as if she were the only protagonist in the world:

"It seems she is really in a good mood tonight."

In the sound of the violin, a piano sound finally appeared, followed by instruments that Xia De could not recognize playing together. Although there were only two days, this arrangement was so perfect, like butterflies dancing in a flower cluster in early spring, but also carrying an inexplicable holiness.

"It sprouts in the new spring,

It grows in the midsummer,

It dies in the golden autumn,

(Chapter incomplete!)

It is buried in the cold winter."

The witch began to sing, and Xia De could not use any language to describe Miss Vanessa's voice. He only felt goosebumps on his arms; even the spring water falling into the ice cave in early spring did not have such exquisite clarity.

The blonde witch covered her chest with her right hand and reached out her left hand toward the four people in the auditorium. In her palm, butterflies flew toward the entire golden stage:

"Grass leaves scatter at the banquet of the earth,

Butterflies dance in the beautiful spring breeze.

Use that morning dew to brew into fine wine,

Let those flying birds come to chirp and sing."

The dancing butterflies intertwined and surrounded the singing witch, and the bright red long dress began to change color. Under the moon, silver-white silk threads intertwined into colors like moonlight:

"I see the fragrant grass dancing,

I see the flowers weaving poetry.

Friends,

Come and praise the master of thousands of butterflies!

The protector of butterflies,

So beautiful!

The guardian god of the fertile earth!

Eternal!"

The lyrics were already very different from the original poem, but they were more in line with the rhythm. The witch's singing seemed to penetrate directly into the soul. The Outsider claimed to be well-informed, but at this moment, he had to admit. Even after experiencing two lives, even after experiencing countless adventures, this was still the moment that fascinated him the most.

"The intersection of winter and spring,

Let the butterflies dance with us.

Oh, butterflies dancing above the earth,

May your banquet,

Be all well."

The singing stopped, but the orchestra that could not be seen behind the curtain continued to play. The witch made a dancing gesture on the stage, as if she were dancing with someone invisible. After the interlude, the singing of the second paragraph continued. Although it was just repeating the lyrics just now, and even the tune did not change, everyone hoped that this moment could continue.
