Chapter 449 Evelyn's Frightening Kindred Fables
Between the arms of two people.
Anne squeezed her head out with some effort, blinked her bright eyes, and secretly observed Catalina.
Not long ago, Anne overheard her father Gregory chatting with his friends and learned about the close relationship between Huo Jixing and Catalina.
This immediately made the little guy become very interested in Catalina.
Annie came here specifically to satisfy her inner curiosity and want to see what Uncle Huo Jixing's future wife would look like.
In Annie's mind, Huo Jixing has always been a brave and majestic hero.
When Catalina appeared in Anne's sight, her first impression was that of heroic appearance, graceful appearance, calmness and confidence.
At the same time, through her own spiritual power, Anne could vaguely feel that Catalina's strength was not weak.
Based on these feelings, Anne felt that Catalina was indeed good.
Although it may not be perfect, it is good enough to be worthy of his uncle Huo Jixing.
After Huo Jixing and Catalina briefly hugged each other, they sat down respectively and began to talk softly.
Since Anne was present, the two kept an appropriate distance, avoided overly intimate actions, and chatted easily.
During this period of time, Catalina and Huo Jixing met less frequently. There were two main reasons behind this.
First of all, Huo Jixing devoted almost all his time to training, wanting to reach the legendary limit as soon as possible.
Therefore, except for meeting Catalina, he rarely participated in the social activities of the nobles.
Secondly, Catalina has just returned to the capital and needs to re-maintain the relationship network of the Du Kecao family and often attend noble gatherings.
The most important thing is that Swain's careful planning and momentum have made Katarina now the most popular figure in the upper class society of the empire.
Although the opportunities for the two to meet have decreased, they know in their hearts that their importance to each other has not been affected.
In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the chat between Huo Jixing and Catalina came to an end.
Lovers will always have endless topics to talk about, and only time can stop it.
Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and looked at Anne, who was nodding frequently and drowsy beside her, as if she was trying hard to resist the onset of sleepiness.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly and bid farewell to Catalina.
Katerina stood up to see her off, walking slowly along the corridor of the mansion towards the heavy door.
When they walked to the door, their eyes met and they could read the reluctance in each other's eyes.
Of course Huo Jixing would not miss the opportunity. He leaned over slightly, placed a kiss on Catalina's forehead, and turned around to leave.
Katrina's cheeks were stained with a faint blush, and she watched Huo Jixing disappear into the hazy night.
As soon as Huo Jixing left the mansion, his brows furrowed, as if he had sensed something, and he looked at the shadow of the street connected to the mansion.
"Is there anyone?"
[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!
Red-gold flames filled the pupils, reflecting the surrounding environment of the mansion.
Huo Jixing glanced around, and many white clouds rose up and spread all over his field of vision, mixed with some lusty colors.
Only the cloud of prying eyes is missing!
Huo Jixing believed in his own perception and could be sure that someone was definitely lurking in the shadows, spying on the general's mansion.
However, the eyes in the darkness used some special means to cover their own life energy and avoid his observation.
"You seem to be very familiar with my abilities?"
Huo Jixing hesitated slightly, his eyes swept across the black crow standing on the eaves, and his expression paused.
This is Swain's group of frenzied crows. With them secretly taking care of her, Katarina should not be in any danger.
Even if someone intends to assassinate, as long as Swain's flock of eating crows can stop him, Huo Jixing can rush over immediately.
And he also left some special magic rune items for Catalina, enough to ensure that she would not be harmed.
Thinking of this, Huo Jixing felt a little more at ease, then walked away and disappeared into the vast night.
“It’s him, Huo Jixing!”
In the dark shadow, Evelin was like a cunning cheetah, restraining her demonic aura.
She carefully stared at Huo Jixing who stopped, her purple eyes flashing with vigilance and fear, as if she was more afraid of him.
Wait until Huo Jixing leaves the general's residence.
Evelin then let out a breath, her expression became much more relaxed, and the fear in her eyes dissipated.
After Evelin completed the secret deal with the pale lady, she lurked in the dark and observed Catalina.
She chose the general's mansion as the best observation location, because she could clearly see Catalina's every move here.
"It seems that the relationship between Huo Jixing and Catalina is closer than the rumors. It's really enviable."
Evelin whispered softly, with a look of disapproval in her purple eyes. Such emotions.
She still remembers that it was Huo Jixing who made her experience such intense pain that penetrated her bone marrow for the first time.
"Haha, I'm starting to look forward to the scene where we meet again."
Evelin suppressed the scene of herself running away.
Immediately, she seemed to have thought of some interesting scene, and her eyes were filled with endless charm.
“Katrina. I suddenly became interested in you.!”
Evelin's purple lips were slightly parted, showing a depraved charm.
Although Evelin only spied on Catalina for a few days, it was enough for her to grasp a lot of important information.
During this process, Evelin skillfully avoided Swain's flock of eating crows and followed Catalina to many banquet venues.
I have already learned all of Catalina’s habits and mannerisms.
As soon as the celebration banquet begins, Evelin will look for opportunities to sneak into the banquet.
Then he used his demonic power to pretend to be Katarina and steal intelligence information.
“The show is about to take place!”
Outside the capital of Noxus, in the slums.
In a complex of buildings near the mountains, an old theater is located on the edge, where the dark gray walls of the capital can be seen in the distance.
Even late at night, the theater was still brightly lit and buzzing with people.
The dim yellow light reflected the mottled wall near the stage, where many drama actors were discussing the performance.
“Stop!”
Wearing an old robe, Alexi sighed and said to the many actors on the stage.
These actors may not be the most outstanding actors in the capital, but their love and dedication to performance are no less than anyone else.
Also the best actor Alexi could find in the ghetto.
The sound structure of the old theater is famously effective. Even if you squat on the edge with a ticket price of half a copper coin, you can clearly hear the softest sigh.
Hearing Alexi's voice, the actors stopped their discussion and turned to look at the theater's chief playwright.
Although this old theater is dilapidated, for these actors, it is their dream place.
Here, they can unleash their talents and show their charm.
As for the capital city in the distance, it is the place they yearn for and pursue.
Now, the chance to change your destiny is on the stage.
"The traces of your performance are too heavy, and you have no emotion at all."
Alexi rubbed the bridge of his nose, looked around at all the actors, his voice was a little hard. "This opportunity is very rare. I don't want to embarrass myself with such a performance."
He sighed inwardly, knowing that the play might be a failure.
Even though he used all his drama skills, his actors began to suffer from stage fright.
Maybe it’s the writing of the script or superstitious psychology that is at play. After all, they are performing characters from mythological stories.
Under the interference of many reasons, each actor loses professional standards to a certain extent.
The actors fell into silence, looking at the scripts filled with notes in their hands, and sitting on the stage floor in despair.
"Qianjue's Fables"!
This is the stage play that Alexi and his actors are about to perform at the celebration banquet.
This old theater originally belonged to Qianjue Church, and there are patterns of sheep spirits and wolf spirits engraved around it.
Alexi put away his emotions and decided to try hard once, at least before the performance tomorrow night, to make the actors no longer have stage fright.
"Atlo, the character you play is a philosopher with a good reputation."
"When he died, twin ghosts named Sheep and Wolf came to him , prepare to take him into the underworld.”
"At this time, you must die resolutely and don't linger for a long time."
"Otherwise it will seem inexplicable."
Delphine looked at her companions beside her and heard that Lexi's scolding made him laugh uncontrollably.
Perhaps the movement was too big, Delphine threw off the sheep mask on her face, and it fell to the ground with a slight cracking sound.
Alexi didn't notice it, but he heard Delphine's laughter and frowned, with excitement on his weather-beaten face.
"Atlo is being stupid, are you also giggling? I know you are a girl from Trevel. Please restrain the strange laughter brought by your hometown. What I want is your cold death aura."
“The sheep spirit is the benevolent side of the twins. She will use the swift arrows in her hands to send those who accept their fate calmly into a peaceful sleep.”
“But your performance is too much. Mercy, you know, death is not mercy."
"And you, Emil"
Alexi looked at the side of the theater, Emil wearing a wolf mask. Mir.
The wolf mask was slightly rough, and the sharp edges almost wore Emil's chin open.
He wanted to reprimand him, but after seeing the blood on Emil's chin, he shook his head helplessly.
"Pay attention to your chin, blood is dripping down, wipe it."
"I have wanted to wipe it for a long time."
Emil shrugged, Looking at the angry Alexi, he reached out and touched the bleeding place.
"This wolf mask is too rough. It looks like sharp wolf teeth. It wants to bite me to death."
"You really have to feel the pain." Alexi recalled "Kindred's Fables" Recorded stories, records about wolf spirits.
“In other words, you must know how to be in awe, the breath of the wolf spirit is scratching your face.”
Emil understood, but he was not slow and took out the rolled linen Cloth, stuffed under the wolf mask to stop the stinging sensation.
“My mask doesn’t fit either!” Delphine said, raising her hand.
"Always falling down!"
She had just bent down and picked up the sheep mask from the stage.
"Then tie it with a rope."
Alexi casually pulled out his belt and threw it at Delphine's feet.
This performance has been rehearsed for countless hours, but it still failed to meet his requirements.
Now, the performance time is approaching, tomorrow night's celebration banquet.
They will perform Kindred's stage play in front of many important figures in the imperial capital.
This is the long-awaited stage performance of Qianjue Church. It is an important moment to use "Qianjue's Fables" to promote Qianjue's teachings.
The actors on the stage were silent and dejected. Finally, Alexi continued to speak.
“Okay, let’s keep working hard.”
"The wind of life given by God helps us soar into the sky."
"We must use this stage play to promote Kindred's teachings."
"Can you wait a moment?" Delphi Na whispered.
“Should I not mention the broken sheep mask at this time?”
“What?”
Alexi looked pale and looked up at the mask in Delphine's hand.
"It was broken when it fell to the ground just now. It was an accident!"
Delphine held the fragment of the mask in one hand, and the wooden ear on the left was broken into two pieces.
“I think it can be entangled!”
The sheep mask and the wolf mask are antiques provided by Kindred Church and are very expensive.
Alexi looked at the sheep mask in Delphine's hand, lowered his head with a bloodless face, and his shoulders slumped.
"There is not enough time to make another one. Even if it is made, it will be obviously different from the sheep mask."
Alexi was in a dilemma and finally made a decision to prioritize repairing Sheep mask.
"You continue to perform, I will give you the most professional guidance."
Hearing Alexi's words, the actors became busy again, rehearsing individually and saying lines to each other.
Alexi stood alone, looking up at the patterns of sheep spirits and wolf spirits on the dome of the theater, slowly lowered his head, kissed the palm of his hand, and prayed for good luck.
“All sparks will inspire new flames.”
“I hope this performance can change the destiny of all of us!”
“Yes, everything It will be changed."
In the dim shadow, a low female voice sounded like the murmur of a god, making Alexi couldn't help but look over.
He couldn't see clearly the people in the shadows, but those eyes were like distant stars shrouded in mist.
“Who are you?”
Alexi had already made arrangements to refuse any visitors during the rehearsal.
This is to keep the actors in shape.
The woman did not answer, but walked forward slowly, wearing a half-mask that seemed to be there but not at all. A strange branch protruded from the top of the mask, and a single dark leaf hung on the branch.
"Don't take it too seriously, the interweaving and arrangement of fate will guide you."
"You"
Alexi wanted to refute, but after seeing the woman's mask, he immediately became respectful, Bow.
“I’ve met the Bishop.”
“Someone is coveting my lord’s authority. The sheep spirit will bless you for tomorrow’s performance.” The woman spoke in a low voice, her tone and rhythm revealing the aristocratic tone. grace.
As the woman finished speaking, the sheep spirit pattern engraved in the theater lit up dimly.
