Chapter 800: Chapter 648, It Won't Deceive Us, Right? Chapter 800: Chapter 648, It Won't Deceive Us, Right? “That's true,” Annette nodded in agreement.
Mini added, “Just like a well-behaved baby when with their master.”
“Hehe!” The other two also laughed along.
Andre Willow seemed to sense something and glanced over here.
Then, Xi Ligui, accompanied by Shi Yali and several squad members, came in, greeted everyone, and looked for seats.
Next, Mackintosh from the Old Barrel Tavern also came in with people.
After greeting everyone, they sat down on the side.
Once most of the people had arrived, Wu Heng spoke to someone next to him, “Tell them they can start now.”
Robey stepped out of his seat and spoke to a staff member waiting in the aisle.
The attendant quickly walked down.
On the stage, the huge red curtain slowly opened.
The moment the scene behind was revealed, the stage started buzzing with activity: a guide holding a signpost, vendors carrying goods, and a woman muttering to herself as she carried a basket.
Everyone on stage was performing, creating a scene resembling a street.
Then, a figure in a cloak appeared, and with his appearance came a clear voiceover.
“I am a doctor, and upon the recommendation of a local friend, I and Mr. Wu Heng rented this house together.”
The scene shifted, the actor playing Watson walked towards a house.
While the actor playing Wu Heng, Saban, holding a vessel with elixirs, rushed out excitedly, shouting, “I've found it, I've found it…”
Backstage.
Several women were gathered together, watching the performance from the side.
“They've prepared so well, even recreating the street scene,” one woman said, slightly surprised, as she adjusted her dress.
They were another group from the Island Lord's Mansion, who got the adaptation script of “Blushing Maid Benny.”
Having heard that the performance had already started, they spent a long time persuading Saban and others to let them come along and see what it was like.
“Yes, and they've prepared all the props so well, what if we don't perform well and make the Island Master angry?” someone started to worry.
“No, the Island Master won't,” the Fifth Princess 'Brittany' said softly, her tone firm.
The rest nodded and continued to watch the performance above.
Brittany then leaned forward again, craning her neck to look towards the audience.
Looking at the figure in the middle of the crowd.
Just like the rumors outside.
This Island Master really likes Beastman maids.
“Wow, they're performing so well, it's just that the one playing Wu Heng is a bit old, and lacks some charisma,” Shi Yali commented, then nudged her sister with her arm, “Xi Ligui, don't you think so?”
Xi Ligui glanced around at the members and said sternly, “Just watch, stop talking.”
Said late, her glance still unconsciously moved towards the figure diagonally in front.”
He does lack some charisma and isn't as pale as him.
The performance lasted for over 40 minutes, presenting the entire story completely.
It was the type where a narrator explained and the actors performed.
Different from contemporary stage dramas.
But it was evident that these people were very serious, both in their acting and the props.
Saban and the others bowed and then the curtain fell.
After it completely finished.
Saban came running from behind and bowed, “Lord Island Master.”
“Not bad, the story was performed quite well,” Wu Heng praised.
Even though there were shortcomings, some things improve while doing; nothing is perfect immediately.
Hearing the Island Master's praise, Saban looked pleased, “Thank you, my lord.”
“Keep up the good work!” Wu Heng encouraged again, and stood up with the others to leave.
As they approached the exit, loud cheers erupted from behind.
Along with exclamations like “We were able to perform.”
Walking out of the theater, Xi Ligui led her squad back to their rotation, and others greeted each other and headed to their respective offices.
In the afternoon, inside a tavern.
The bard, having finished the story from the newspaper, gently sipped his tea on the stage.
Unlike usual, he did not step down to rest during the break but stayed on stage.
After a slight cough, the crowd below immediately fell silent.
The bard said with a smile, “Everyone, I have some news for you. This morning, our stage play received the approval of Lord Island Master. It will be performed at the opera house in three days.”
The audience furrowed their brows at first but soon became noisy again.
“The stage play is coming out so quickly.”
“It's been almost half a month, not too short really.”
“I'm actually quite looking forward to the effects of the stage play.”
“Lord Island Master is really different from those nobles, allowing adaptations of the play and even going to watch it personally.”
Listening to the discussions below, the bard also showed a smile.
Most of the taverns on the island, during free time, were promoting the stage play.
And this matter was spreading quickly across the island.
On the island, discussions about the stage play were ongoing, but Wu Heng was not too focused on them.
In the afternoon, he took a detour to the factory area; several factories were busy, and the production could basically maintain the current supply.
Moreover, the guards inside the factory were skeletons, and the workers were skeletons too.
One might consider it a modernized unmanned workshop.
No living beings and modern machinery seemed to fulfill all the conditions.
The first batch of fountain pens and watches produced on the island had already been shipped overseas.
The next steps would be waiting for the feedback from various trading groups. It shouldn't be too bad, considering there were no substitutes in the current market.
Next, once the production was stable, the restrictions would be lifted, and they would sell massively abroad.
After dinner, as the evening grew darker,
Wu Heng sat in the bedroom waiting.
Shanaela came in, wiping her hair, and took a seat next to him, saying softly, “How was the stage play today?”
Wu Heng had people notify Shanaela to watch the stage play.
But he had some orders to handle in the morning and had not gone.
Wu Heng said, “Better than I imagined.”
“Then I will have a chance to see it too,” Shanaela said, then continued, “The elixir auction is the day after tomorrow, and a total of five elixirs will be sold.”
“No problem, you handle it,” Wu Heng said.
Shanaela spoke earnestly, “Since it's going to be an auction, you must resist the pressure. If someone comes to buy them privately from you, you must not sell even one.”
Wu Heng frowned slightly, “Is it that strict?”
“Of course. The more decisive your refusal, the better it is for the auction, especially with the pressure from the association. There are not a few who cannot become heroes,” Shanaela said softly.
Wu Heng thought for a moment, “Alright, I'll be away from home the day after tomorrow, you make the decisions.”
Shanaela was momentarily stunned but then agreed, “That works!”
Once Shanaela finished drying her hair, they both lay down in bed to rest.
The next day, widespread promotion began.
An elixir auction would be held at the opera house tomorrow. Members of the trade association, invited participants, and individuals registered by the association and city hall could attend.
That made the opera house quite lively as well.
After all, just yesterday, most of the bards had announced the performance in three days.
And now there would be an auction.
The timing was tightly controlled.
“It's the auction of the exhibits on the third floor, right? There are definitely actual items.”
“These past few days, the dignitaries who've come to the island have all been waiting for this elixir.”
“It must be nice to have money.”
Association, Steward's Office.
Several strong individuals of different races and attire sat on the sofas.
“You're saying Wu Heng is not here? He went out?”
“You aren't conspiring with that lad to deceive us here, are you?”
“We old folks wouldn't bully him, would we?”
Opposite them, Xi Ligui's forehead was sweating.
