Raphael handed Ronald what was naturally a ticket to the "Sardak" Theater performance.
But it was not the same as his own home venue.
The ticket Raphael gave to Ronald was just the lowest level of general seating, and even the seat assignments were quite far back.
And after giving the ticket to him, Raphael immediately said goodbye to Ronald and left, using the excuse, "I need to go prepare for the performance."
Watching his friend briskly walk away, Ronald couldn’t help but shake his head.
"Although I know it’s just perfunctory..."
"But couldn’t he be a little more serious?"
He spoke without hesitation.
With the thought of going to watch Arlida perform tonight, Ronald turned and disappeared into the corner, stealthily summoning the original text from his hand.
"The black water flowed downward, reaching the dim and perilous base of the cliff."
In the silence, a black mist formed by the power of "Fury" appeared in Ronald’s hand.
He directly tucked the layer of black mist under his clothes.
Only then did Ronald head toward the location of the "Sardak" Theater.
Because it was also within the complex of the Oak Tree Theater.
The place was quickly reached.
The so-called "Sardak" now stood before Ronald.
It was a building primarily in red tones, with walls adorned with sculptures of varying designs at intervals, creating an epic battlefield ambiance with its impeccable layout and design.
Muttering the name of one of the three great theaters in the Oak Tree Theater, Ronald restricted his spell’s scouting range before entering.
Soon, a staff member at the theater entrance stopped him.
"Our performance has already begun, are you here to..."
Ronald raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The performance had already begun?
If he couldn’t enter, Raphael wouldn’t have given him the ticket at this time. This situation could be manageable.
Quickly analyzing and making a decision in his mind, Ronald promptly put on a friendly smile and handed over his ticket:
"I was delayed outside by someone, this is my ticket."
Silently taking the ticket from Ronald’s hand, the staff member discerned it on his own. As someone who had worked at the theater for quite some time, he naturally recognized it as a genuine ticket.
However, the young man before him...
Carefully scrutinizing Ronald, the experienced staff member quickly made a judgment.
Even without outstanding acting skills, this young man could rise to prominence with his excellent appearance and physique. Better to mind fewer affairs.
Giving Ronald a knowing look, the staff member whispered:
"Go inside quickly, just be careful not to disturb others."
Ronald immediately nodded in thanks:
"Thank you, I appreciate your help."
He slipped past the position opened by the staff member into the theater, walked through a relatively small room, and then followed the corridor upward, arriving at the second floor of the interior of the theater.
The interior of "Sardak" featured a semi-open design.
Apart from the spectator seats that encircled the entire stage like a Roman coliseum, the very center of the roof also had a specially reserved spot, allowing the light from outside the theater to shine directly in.
Because it was ingeniously designed, this beam of light reflected down through the control of rooftop staff, achieving an effect akin to a stage spotlight in a hazy manner—an impressively clever design.
Feeling a mild sense of admiration, Ronald then turned his gaze to the center of the stage.
Amid the exuberant music, an enchantingly shapely dancer stood dancing in the center, surrounded by several male actors dressed as ancient warriors.
"A battlefield theme..."
"War really is a theme that easily gives birth to popular plots."
"This point seems quite applicable everywhere."
"While absentmindedly watching the performance on stage, Ronald’s gaze roved through the entire theater."
"The people here seem to be intently watching the performance inside."
"As for the problem mentioned by Raphael..."
"Ronald really couldn’t see any clues."
"The number of actors was fine, the mood of the people inside was appropriate, and even the professionalism of the actors was quite up to par."
Just when he was wondering if Raphael might have gotten something wrong, Ronald noticed something he had previously overlooked.
"Due to changes in the performance inside, after the dancer stopped dancing, some trapdoors appeared on the ground surrounding the theater stage, and other actors began to make their subsequent entrances."
"Beneath the ground..."
"Having witnessed this scene of actors entering, Ronald immediately expanded his surveillance to beneath the theater."
"And then, when this range exceeded five meters."
"Four fresh emotional fluctuations appeared in his perception."
"And this depth underground was not a place where theater staff would be."
"With a somewhat helpless expression, Ronald reached up to scratch his head:"
"These mysterious folks really do love to run underground."
"At that instant, a piercing scream came from the stage."
"I’m going to kill you!!!"
It was the actors performing the closing scene of the plot.
"When the dancer died before him, an actor playing a general stood shouting his emotions loudly."
"His exaggerated expression combined with his intense actions drew a lot of attention."
"It also had quite an emotional impact."
"At that moment, some audience members stood up to applaud the performers on stage."
"Suddenly, a lively atmosphere emerged in the theater."
"Of course, this had little to do with Ronald who had already completed his objective."
"Having confirmed that Raphael’s commission was complete, all he needed to do now was wait for the audience to leave at the same time as him, then he could go enjoy Alida’s performance."
"Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned."
"Just as Ronald was breathing a sigh of relief, one of the actors on stage stepped forward."
"—It was the strikingly beautiful, enticing dancer."
"In her red attire, she stood amidst the applause, gently stepping forward to bow to the audience before she didn’t return to the group of actors."
", the atmosphere inside gradually calmed down."
"When everyone had completely settled down, the dancer smiled broadly around her:"
"Today, as a way to give back for everyone’s enthusiastic response to our performance."
"Our troupe has decided to select some lucky audience members to come here and receive a little token of appreciation, please don’t leave just yet~~"
"The quiet theater instantly became bustling again."
"Meanwhile, Ronald, standing on the second-floor balcony and watching everything, his expression darkened."
"He had a bad feeling."
