Chapter 2587

But when they boarded the carriage, Miss Winslett, who was a bit unhappy just now, introduced the identities of the musicians who would perform on stage today and her friendship with them very enthusiastically.

"I don't quite understand, the music hall and the Accordion Hotel are on the same street, is it necessary for us to take a carriage?"

Xia De sat in a row with Miss Dannister, and opposite was Miss Bell.

It was still the witch who answered this question:

"Don't say silly things. If you walk to the concert, you will definitely be laughed at. When Galina took you to see the opera in Tobesk, did you two walk along the street?"

The Vista City Golden Music Hall is not an independent building. There are multiple music halls in the building, with the main hall "Golden Hall" as the center. In addition to many small music halls, there are also some office spaces and a prestigious exhibition hall inside.

The Golden Music Hall, rebuilt from the central hall of an ancient temple, has a total of 2017 seats and 300 standing spots. Considering safety, it can accommodate up to 2300 spectators at a time.

The music hall is equipped with luxurious and exquisite boxes, which are located on the upper floor of the hall. But most of those boxes are open to royal members or great nobles from Willendale, so for "ordinary people," how to choose a seat has become a science.

Miss Winslett's status could not yet use those boxes, unless she was willing to show the letter Margaret gave her, but it was completely not worth it for such a thing.

When the carriage carrying the four people stopped at the "clover petal" style square, the gas street lamps had already illuminated the outer wall of the music hall and the floor tiles of the square into a golden yellow. The lady with her hair up was still explaining in detail:

"The expensive and good ones are naturally the areas adjacent to the stage, that is, the seats downstairs on the left, right, and middle sides surrounding the stage;

As for the seats upstairs, they are called balcony seats. The Vista City Golden Music Hall has three floors of balcony seats. The balcony seats are relatively narrow, but balcony seats in different areas also have their own advantages. This depends on the different instruments played by the orchestra."

Miss Dannister listened to her telling these knowledge with a smile, and Miss Bell stood behind them cautiously. Xia De, who got off the carriage first, looked up at the three full moons in the starry sky.

Between breaths, he felt that his spirit and elements were becoming more and more active. He even felt that he could enter the best combat state immediately even if he did nothing at this moment.

The starry sky and moon phase would of course affect Ring-Warlocks who were good at moon spells, but he had never had such a feeling on those full moon nights in the past:

"During the Moon Dance Festival last year, I was dealing with the matter of the narrow space of life and death in the Midhillburg area. I didn't have this feeling at that time either."

Miss Winslett's tickets were not bought, but sent by the Vista City City Hall. This was her honor as a musician. The seats for the four were very good, in the seventh row facing the stage. Although not in the center, the difference was not big.

Xia De sat in the seat closest to the aisle covered with red carpet, and the three ladies sat down on his right hand in turn, and the one sitting next to Xia De was the red-haired girl.

"Speaking of which, I have always heard that Miss Winslett is a musician, but is she a singer, conductor, or composer?"

Xia De asked Miss Dannister embarrassedly, and the latter was looking at the interior of the music hall, which seemed to be truly covered with gold after the gas lamps were lit.

Rich, magnificent, and brilliant, no matter who looked at it for the first time, they would be shocked by the luxury and solemnity here. This was not only the credit of the crowns spent during the renovation and the designer, but also the credit of the structure of the ancient building itself.

The overall layout of the hall is rectangular, and the ceiling is extremely high. When looking up from the seats on the bottom floor, there is even a kind of suffocating feeling of deep well. The ceiling is decorated with exquisite neoclassical reliefs, and several huge crystal lamps are suspended in the center, with dazzling light casting warm golden light.

The walls are also divided into multiple layers, each with different pilasters and carvings, and golden decorations are spread all over them.

And the auditorium where everyone sat was wrapped in red velvet, which was both comfortable and elegant. Xia De could not see the privacy inside the boxes on the upper floor, but he could also see the golden railings and thick red curtains.

"What Flora is famous for is piano performance and composition. When I was with her in the study waiting for you to find us, she said that she performed piano music on stage at the Moon Dance Festival concert last year."

Miss Dannister replied, and the witch on the right hand, who was still talking to her apprentice about the skirt, heard Miss Dannister's answer and asked Xia De across her with a smile:

"You don't think the piano in my room is a decoration, do you?"

As the opening ceremony of the week-long Moon Dance Festival, the Moon Dance Festival concert would have dance performances in addition to music performances. Xia De had heard about this from the coachman a few days ago.

There were program lists on each seat, so Xia De was interested in looking at the order of the programs while waiting for the opening, and discussed it with Miss Dannister from time to time.

And Miss Winslett was not so relaxed. She had to stand up frequently to greet her various acquaintances, including not only musicians, critics, and a small number of reporters, but even friends and relatives she knew during her teenage years growing up in Willendale.

For example, Earl Liu Yisi, who brought his whole family to Vista City, his wife actually called Miss Winslett "Aunt." Sure enough, the kinship of great nobles was so complicated.

And Xia De was no stranger to this Earl Liu Yisi. In the early stages of the Green Lake negotiations, it was this Earl who led the delegation to Tobesk to discuss the specific matters of the negotiations with the Delarion side. At that time, the 1854 Spring Tobesk Ring Riding Competition was being held (1546).

Earl Liu Yisi obviously couldn't recognize Xia De's disguised face. He just chatted with Miss Winslett with his whole family and then went to sit next to them.

And soon Xia De also met an acquaintance. This was of course not Margaret. Even if Her Royal Highness condescended to go to the local area, she would not sit below to listen to the concert.

Wearing a monocle were the two twin sons of Hou Jue Folen of Willendale, Eric Folen and Charles Folen, who came together. They originally wanted to greet Miss Winslett, and then they saw the back of Xia De, who was sitting one seat away from the lady with gray-black hair.

Even before seeing his face, the two brothers who were walking forward on the red carpet froze immediately.

Similarly, Xia De also felt the gaze behind him. Turning to look, he saw the two cousins of Megan and Audrey whom he hadn't seen since the "Family Banquet" in Green Lake.

Megan and Audrey were the fifth generation of the family, the daughters of Alphonse, the third son of the fourth generation of the family; while the two brothers were the grandsons of Edward, the second son of the fourth generation. Not long ago, during the Moon Bay incident, Xia De had seen their mother, Nadia Folen of the 【Dragon Feast Cult】, who provided the exact time of the god's descent.

Xia De had also inquired about the whereabouts of that Ms. Folen after the Moon Bay God War, but only knew that she had not been caught by the Church.

The three looked at each other under the crystal chandelier. The two brothers, who were a bit embarrassed but more nervous, wanted to say hello, but immediately thought that their identities as Ring-Warlocks had been known by the Church, so it was obviously not suitable to contact Xia De in such a public place.

So they just nodded to Xia De, and then said a few words to Miss Winslett with some nervousness and left.

The Folen family had no kinship with the Winslett family, but the Winslett family, as a newspaper giant, had many dealings with Hou Jue Folen, so it was a matter of courtesy for them to come and say hello.

As for Miss Dannister, she didn't meet any acquaintances. However, she obviously recognized the Folen brothers, and then looked at Xia De with a smile.

And besides their respective acquaintances, they also saw the Bennett family. However, the seats of the Bennett family were relatively far back, so the family didn't see the group in front.

Xia De looked back and found that this time it was Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, their eldest daughter Jane, second daughter Philly, and third daughter Linda.

This was the first time Xia De saw Linda Bennett, but because the witch's followers were still continuously investigating the Bennett family, he had seen photos of the other party.

Linda Bennett was nineteen years old this year, wearing a blue dress and light makeup, talking excitedly with her two sisters. The three young girls were said to have inherited the beauty of Mrs. Bennett when she was young, so they attracted the attention of many young people, and Linda Bennett should be considered the most eye-catching of the three sisters.

"Did you bring the 【Family Stabilizer】?"

Although the appearance of the three sisters was very similar, and also very similar to the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, because of the Kaming family incident, Xia De still decided to confirm it.

"Of course I brought it. Now it seems that it is impossible to be without it when active in Creekwood Town."

The red-haired girl took out the red monocle and put it into Xia De's hand. Xia De put it on carefully and turned his head to look again:

"No problem, the three are sisters, and they are all daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett... There are five children in the family, why did they only bring three to the concert? With the financial resources of the Bennett family and their reputation in the local area, it shouldn't be that they couldn't get tickets, right?"

"Their youngest daughter is going to perform on stage, that girl is an excellent violinist. Their youngest son was grounded at home tonight because he was playful and broke an antique vase at home, so he didn't follow."

The witch, who found a bit of leisure, answered. This was obviously investigated by her followers:

"By the way, Baron Kaming also bought tickets. But obviously after experiencing this series of things, he and the heartbroken James Kaming have no mood to listen to the concert. It's just that I don't know what Baron Kaming's wife thinks. That cheating woman knows nothing about everything."
