Chapter 449 106. Ghost Opera House
Annan returned to Montreal Manor as if he had returned home.
Even the servants were surprised when they led Annan to meet their ancestors. As soon as they arrived at the blooming garden, Lily jumped out of her arms, and her almost seven-pound body jumped onto the ancestors' lap——
Fortunately, my ancestor’s body is quite strong.
"Ancestor, I brought the silly cat with me." Annan lowered his head and looked at the silly cat that was following him step by step.
"Silly cat?"
"The name I gave it."
The ancestor looked at the white cat with loving eyes: "Let the ancestor see~"
"Meow!"
As a result, the silly cat's hair suddenly exploded for no reason, and it grabbed Annan's mage robe and crawled into his arms.
"It is indeed a silly cat." The ancestor smiled and stroked Lily, "Olin hasn't come back yet."
"I came here for other things."
Annan took out " "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" showed the Philosopher's Stone to the ancestors, "I'm going to the Imperial Capital."
"Remember to take the family carriage."
"Okay. .”
The silly cat clung to him, so Annan had no choice but to hold it and get into the carriage prepared by the servant.
…
Ryman Royal Theatre.
Annan got acquainted with the boss here because of "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" and "Betal's Redemption". To this day, the theater still shows these two magical videos.
Although the share has been reduced to half per person.
Annan visited the theater owner, Old Lyman, who readily accepted Annan's third magical image, but the split became a more demanding three parts.
Annan really wanted to say, "Do you want to see my carriage?", but maybe the royal family was hinting that he should stop taking advantage of them...
I couldn't accept this price. Annan had no choice but to try visiting other theaters, but it seemed they had banded together, and the lowest offer was five copies.
Annan was not unable to accept half of the proceeds, but their arrogance made him frown.
"Let's go to the Knights." Stepping onto the carriage, Annan leaned on the seat.
Dozens of minutes later, the carriage arrived at the Knights' station.
The knights along the way unanimously let Annan pass and knocked on the door of the knight leader's office.
“Come in.”
The oak door slowly opened a crack. Olin, who was handling official duties with gloves on, raised her head and saw a face poking into the room.
“Sister Olin~”
The young clerk standing at the table quickly lowered his head.
Olin, who was wearing a neat ponytail, had an expressionless face: "Tell the logistics that all the knights on duty today will have half of their salary deducted."
"Tell all the knights on duty today that they will receive the championship A gift from the warlock." Annan looked directly at him as he came in.
“Okay.”
I don’t know if he was responding to Ou Lin or Annan, but the clerk withdrew.
At this time, Oulin saw the black gemstone earring in Annan's left ear. It was so stunning that Oulin forgot to get angry: "What is that?"
"I forgot to take it off as a gift from Mr. Reis." She just thought Annan got up and took off his earrings.
"...It's very beautiful."
"Really? I think it's beautiful too, and I don't know how much it costs..." Annan said casually, and then said seriously: " Do you know who is causing trouble for me in the imperial capital recently?”
“Why do you say that?”
Annan told Oulin what happened today.
"You are jealous of the old nobles." Because of the magical image, the "Champion Warlock" did not exist for a short period of time and then disappeared like other rumors. Annan's name has always been circulated in the imperial capital, and his stories have appeared in various forms at banquets, streets and taverns.
People who have lost their youth will always be hostile to those who have it. In addition, many people are not optimistic about Annan’s floating city, thinking that it will eventually fall——
< br>“But the income from magic images is real money.”
"You think these nobles are too smart." Olin first said sarcastically. No one is more qualified to say this than the Montreal family. "Ryman Royal Theatre, right? I'll go with you."
Olin was about to take off her gloves.
"No need." Annan stopped Ou Lin, "They should have begged me to borrow their theater. Let them cry while holding the old theater."
" I want to buy a theater in the imperial capital."
Olin folded her hands: "The purchasing department also sells land."
"What I mean is that there is no need for a purchasing department."
"Then you can only buy a piece of land and build a theater yourself."
"Is there no other way?"
Olin was about to answer when she suddenly remembered something: "I know a place called Ghost Theater."
"So ugly?"
"You can also call it a haunted theater."
"It's not as good as the one just now."
"That's not a description..."
Olin talks about being haunted... ghost Theater’s past.
The Ghost Theater is located next to the ruins of Sorlondur. It was damaged when the Gardens of Solendur burned down, and the ceiling of the theater fell off, killing the maid who was cleaning the house and the famous actor who was practicing his singing. Since then, rumors of hauntings such as midnight singing and midnight crying have appeared in the ghost theater.
Annan and Orin came to the ruins of Solundor and saw a building with a big hole in the dome standing outside the ruins.
"This used to be called the Moonlight Opera House..." Olin's tone was full of nostalgia.
“You can also see the moonlight now.” Annan walked towards the abandoned Moonlight Theater.
Stepping onto the ruins, gravel rustled down. Annan entered the theater through the collapsed arched wooden door.
The damaged walls are covered with mottled ivy, and the stretches of seats are covered in dust due to long periods of neglect. Fortunately, due to the rumors of being haunted, this place is not covered with excrement like common ruins...
When the clouds drifted away, sunlight penetrated into the theater from the broken dome, like a veil of light covering the faded stage, making Annan and Olin standing at the entrance look small.
Olin thought these were sparse and ordinary ruins, but Annan felt the beauty of desolation from here.
"Hey - come out -"
Annan's shout echoed in the theater.
No response. Maybe the haunting rumors are related to the homeless people living here?
"Who owns this theater?" Annan asked.
“You should think about it, this place is too close to the ruins of Saurondor.”
It is better to say that being too close to the bottom city means chaos and poverty.
"No need, this is it."
The good news is that the owner of the Moonlight Theater has passed away. According to the law of the Tatooine Empire: Things without owners belong to the Empire, and Annan directly Can spend money to purchase land. There was no wrangling in the purchase process. Annan successfully bought the Moonlight Opera House for 1,600 gold coins - maybe they were still laughing at Annan for buying a worthless place.
"Where's the new name?"
"No need to change it...it's still called Moonlight Theater."
Let's just commemorate Xingyue Bay.
When returning from the theater, Annan saw his ancestor sleeping soundly.
Annan played "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" again, letting his ancestors have a good rest, and temporarily recruited Eli Rubble.
The next day, Annan and Eli Rubble, who was wearing a cloak, pointed at the Moonlight Opera House and said, "I need you to maintain its current appearance and repair it as quickly as possible."
