"How is it? Is it not bad?"

"It looks great with you."

At the jewelry store in the city, Fisher picked out a ring that looked pretty good for Renee.

The mining areas of the southern continent are rich in precious metals and diamonds. After the pioneering boom, greedy human merchants worked hard to transport them back and carve them into various sparkling decorations. Such items were deeply loved by the noble ladies of Narli.

Women like sparkling things. When the brilliance of those accessories shines on their bodies, it can set off their beauty even more.

A few years ago, some jokes were made about this, because some unknown businessmen brought back certain magical materials that were beautiful in appearance but could not come into direct contact with people, packaged them and sold them as jewelry. As a result, the skin of the women who wore them caused ulcers.

, resulting in the largest litigation case in the century.

The choice for Renee was a sparse and ordinary silver carved ring, which happened to be worn by Fisher on her middle finger, and it looked particularly beautiful.

She stretched out her fingers with satisfaction, and then took Fisher's hand. She didn't know what the situation looked like to outsiders under the package of secret blessings.

"Then the next stop is the theater. I haven't seen any of Nali's plays for a long time. We used to go there all the time."

"Yeah, after finally buying a ticket in the front row, you just fall asleep there. It's a waste."

Renee puffed her cheeks, hit his shoulder with her pink fist with a ring on it, and muttered,

"I swear to the Mother Goddess, I will never fall asleep this time!"

"Isn't the Mother Goddess your predecessor? What's the use of swearing to yourself?"

"As I said, I am not my predecessor." Renee pouted, then added, "It would be great if I really was my predecessor."

"How to say?"

"Well, because He is very selfless and great, at least for humans." Renee explained with a smile, and pointed at the signs of the Mother Goddess Cult that can be seen everywhere on the street, as well as the magnificent, huge

Yes, there are still many people coming and going in the Church of St. Nalli today. "He was able to go to war with the gods for the sake of mankind, and taught mankind the tools to protect themselves, but he himself disappeared. Generally speaking, this kind of character is not seen in human culture."

Shouldn’t it be praised?”

"I don't believe in the Mother Goddess, so just be Renee."

"That's it"

Renee held Alicia's hand, glanced at Fisher, didn't say much, and just went to buy a ticket with great interest.

The theater used to only have evening performances, and the actors had rest time from morning to afternoon. However, it seems that the scale of the theater has expanded in recent years, and the actor's team has become larger and they have the opportunity to perform multiple performances, even on stage in one day.

Different plays will be performed at the meeting.

Renee was holding little Alicia in front of the ticket counter, thinking about what show she wanted to watch, while Fisher stood behind them, looking at the cardinal who was passing by in mid-air on the street from time to time.

He didn't know the cardinal's specific duties, maintaining public security, surveillance, or had Elizabeth discovered that he had escaped and was looking for him throughout the city?

When he thought of this, Fisher inevitably swallowed his saliva and became a little worried.

But behind him, Renee patted his shoulder gently, making him come back to his senses from his speculation about Elizabeth.

"Don't be in a daze, come and help me think about which play to watch? "Revenge" or "General Barone"?"

Fisher glanced at the ticket counter. There were three plays performed today, but in fact because he had to return to the Golden Palace in the evening, he could only choose the first two, which were the two mentioned by Renee.

"General Baron" is a standard imported drama, telling a story of Shivali's personal heroism. It describes the process of the ancient generals of Shivali being ordered to resist the enemy from the east. In the face of the foolish emperor and the sycophant, he became strong

Under the situation of internal and external troubles surrounded by enemies, General Barone finally relied on his inspiring ability and courage to share the same hatred with the enemy, and he advanced and retreated with his troops through life and death, and finally defeated the powerful enemy and returned in triumph.

This story is very old-fashioned and has a certain realistic historical background. Compared with the other "Revenge", it is more well-known and easier to understand.

As for "Revenge", this is a story changed from a controversial classic by Nalli.

A kingdom was invaded by an enemy, causing the country to fall and suffer the pain of national subjugation. The prince of the kingdom escaped from his hometown alone and vowed to return to his old place to avenge his country. He spent dozens of years incognito and recuperating in a place not far away.

In the year, he finally decided to go to the enemy country to assassinate the emperor who caused the destruction of his country.

Many things happened along the way. He met his sister who also fled in the enemy country incognito, and eventually married and had a family. Her sister advised him to cherish his life and give up revenge. His sister's persuasion made him very shaken, but he continued to move forward, but

On the road, he met a general from his homeland who had been working hard for a long time just like him. The general not only helped him, but also used his own life to hide the assassination plan that was almost exposed for him.

So the prince continued to move forward, carrying the general's will and approaching the enemy king to get back everything that had been taken away from him. But along the way, he saw the enemy's progress, compared with the progress during the reign of his father, the old king.

Foolish, this place seemed so strong and full of vitality. On the way, he met the people of his homeland, who were now doing business here, and saw that they seemed to live better under the rule of the enemy than under his father's rule, which made him

More and more confused.

So he continued to move forward, and finally came to the enemy's capital. He secretly declared that he would burn the palace to the ground at the party where the enemy's princess came of age. Overnight, the entire capital was disturbed by this prince, and they

Searching everywhere, trying to find this enemy prince who is like a ghost seeking revenge.

In the end, after all the hard work, I only found a letter he left in a secret hotel, exhorting the king of the enemy country to work hard to govern. The prince himself had already left long ago and gave up the assassination.

Such a story has gone through more than one adaptation and discussion in the history of Narli's literature, with writers and politicians arguing endlessly about the metaphors and viewpoints in the text.

Some people say that this prince is wise because he can transcend his own hatred to pursue righteousness; others say that this prince just uses righteousness to seek excuses for his cowardice.

There are many details in the article that imply that this prince is really as timid as a mouse. Even his revenge plan sprouted from his wife's cynicism. After meeting the persuasion of his sister who had settled down, he became even more...

I was extremely confused, and I was just worried that my wife would laugh at me if I went back, so I just went ahead and carried out the assassination plan.

In other words, maybe the rule of the enemy country described in the book is just like that, or even no different from the rule of his homeland. It is just because of his timidity and cowardice that he subconsciously finds reasons to escape and makes excuses for everything that is currently running.

Just beautification

Regardless of whether the prince in the story is a sage who understands righteousness or a weakling who is as timid as a mouse, Fisher feels that this kind of story filled with a lot of text may not be suitable for a five-year-old like Alicia.

For children, a big scene of playing and playing is more suitable.

Although "General Barone" may be later in time, Fisher still recommended choosing this scene.

"Otherwise, how about watching "General Barone"?"

Renee blinked, looked back at the play on it, and said,

"Do you have enough time? You may not go back until very late. Don't you worry about being caught by Elizabeth?"

"If you hurry up"

"How about watching "Revenge"? It seems to be a newly adapted version, I don't know how the performance is, what do you think?"

Fisher glanced at Renee. He actually didn't care. Since Renee wanted to see this scene, he had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that the deal was settled, Renee generously bought three front seats and waited for a while, waiting for the audience to take their seats and for the show to officially start.

While waiting for the show, Fisher glanced at Renee, who was full of expectations next to him, and still wanted to ask her something.

"Are you looking forward to it so much? I've brought you here so many times, but this is the first time I've seen you look so looking forward to it."

"Hey, is it so obvious?"

"have."

"Well, there is a comparison. I used to stay by your side for a long time, and there were many opportunities like this. And at that time, I wasn't as nervous as I am now. I couldn't feel the comfort in relaxed times, only in busy times.

Comfort is really comfortable. What’s more, I’m trying to snatch you away from that Elizabeth. I’m looking forward to it with all the extra effort~”

It feels like the latter reason is the main reason why she is so happy.

However, when this was mentioned, Fisher's expression became thoughtful, and he took the initiative to ask,

"So, what is the method you have agreed upon with the gods to solve the prophecy of annihilation?"

"Everyone, please sit tight. The drama is about to begin. Please refrain from making loud noises and eating food with pungent odors during the drama performance to ensure a normal experience for other audiences. Thank you very much for your cooperation!"

At this moment, the announcer on stage had already walked out from behind the scenes. Since it was an afternoon show, and "Revenge" was originally a relatively unpopular play, there were not many people who bought tickets to watch it in the theater.

They were just sitting here and there, waiting for the drama to begin.

But no matter the size of the audience, the actors on stage still need to perform with all their heart and soul.

That is, after the announcer returned to the stage, the lights in the entire exhibition hall suddenly dimmed, making Renee's profile next to her become hazy.

Fisher still stared at her to get an answer, but Renee just stared at the stage, watching the actors in their costumes for the first act.

In the midst of an iron horse glacier, the destitute prince threw the farm tools on the ground amidst his wife's disgusting ridicule, and shouted with a dramatic singing voice,

"Ah, my hometown was destroyed in the flames that spread at night, but its owner could only escape in despair, letting the years ferment in the dark cellar like wine."

The long and heavy drama made people uninterested, but when he saw Renee's focused gaze in his peripheral vision, he couldn't help but focus on the performance in front of him.

As the text progressed, Fisher soon discovered that the version performed in front of him adopted the second statement in the literary world, that is: this prince is a real coward. He gave up the assassination not for any righteousness, but completely.

Based on timidity and cowardice.

He was afraid of a powerful enemy country and a near-death assassination. On the way, he asked his struggling heart more than once what reason he should be looking for to give up the assassination.

Is it my sister's sincere consolation, the enemy's superiority hidden in subtle details, or the risks involved in assassination?

Just as Fisher expected, Alicia next to her was made drowsy by this heavy and profound drama. By the middle of the second act, she could no longer control her sleeping eyelids.

Woke up soundly and sound asleep.

But it was at this moment that Fisher, who was focused on the stage, suddenly heard Renee's extremely quiet question.

"Fisher, don't you believe that the gods and I can solve the prophecy of destruction?"

Fisher turned to look at her, only to find that she was still staring at the stage, so Fisher also turned to look in the direction of the stage and responded,

"No, it's just that when I was in the Southern Continent before, I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I always had a premonition that I was worried about you. Even if you have explained to me that you forgot to bring the lark, even if you brought it this time

Lark, but I always feel that solving the prophecy of annihilation should not and cannot be as easy as what you said."

Renee looked at the stage, was silent for a while, sighed and explained,
