Alien world

Chapter 1482 Chapter 116. Finals Begin

After the preparation and accumulation in the previous few days, the bustle of the city of art reached its peak on the last day of the competition.

Opera lovers from all over the Empire came here just to see Madeleine wearing the crown she deserved.

If Madeline's fame had been useless, Annan would not have allowed "The People's Singer" to go down this path.

He was dismissive of the "traitor" only because she was not on his side - if she had participated in "All People's Singer", you would see how much she would praise Madeline.

Sir John Tucker was busy everywhere, looking for people, just to make sure the game could end normally.
So when the person was sent to Turgeon, he was actually deliberately given a difficult problem.

Sir John Turkinson didn't want any changes to the "Singing Contest" which he organized.

Even if we have to settle accounts, it shouldn't be now. If we lose the game, not only will what we have now disappear, but even what we had before will be taken away...

In response to Bean's concerns, Sir Turkinson said: "I know what's important..."

He deliberately had his men send the person to the commercial city without hiding anything from anyone.

It was both a warning and a sign of weakness: tell the old guys in the tower that for the sake of the game, I will endure it once, but only this time.

Sir Turkinson looked out the window and saw magnificent carriages driving into the capital of art.

They all came for Madeline.

……

In order to increase the tension and improve the real-time ratings, the final will implement live voting: the counting of votes will begin after all contestants have performed once.

So the final should not be too long, but also not too short.

Even if the ten contestants introduce themselves, perform and give their speeches, it will only take a maximum of eight minutes. If you include the judges' comments, it will only be as long as a magical video.

But there is still the illusion of the judges singing.

It wasn't difficult to persuade the Siren Chief to come on stage. After watching him for so many days, Erin was already itching to try her hand. But for the remaining ones, it wasn't a question of whether they were willing to go on stage, but whether they should go on stage... It would be embarrassing if they couldn't sing as well as the contestants.

For example, Annan is definitely not as good as the contestants, but except for his fans, everyone is mentally prepared.

But the Scarlet Queen, who has told so many stories from thousands of years ago, is a big shot who can sit at the same table with the Thirteen Supreme Kings. The audience's expectations have long been high. Even if she sings almost as well as the champion, it will only be considered normal to the audience.

If not... the Scarlet Queen's accumulated majesty would collapse overnight.

As expected, the Siren leader agreed. Faru declined, but said that if he had to go on stage, he could make a fool of himself.

Annan found the Scarlet Queen, who was enjoying afternoon tea and paused.

"What...what happened?"

"I am your elder, how can you let me do this!"

Abby, the head maid outside the door, turned around.

Well, the Scarlet Queen lived more than two thousand years ago after all, so asking her to sing on the stage feels a bit like the breakdown of social order.

However, the Skeleton King Leonefa showed great interest and was willing to sing a song in the finals.

This way there will be no problem with the final process: the delay in commercial streets across the country will be changed from 1 hour to 10 minutes, ten contestants will appear on stage one after another, and then the Skeleton King and the Siren Chief will perform during the voting phase, and finally the results will be announced.

"What time is the final next door?"

"Eight to nine."

"It's about time."

If Bailey Knight is the finale, she will appear at about the same time as Madeline.

……

Night is usually associated with quiet and rest, but in Liberty City, the arrival of night means the day has just begun.

There was a long queue outside the arena. Xianna and Suni, who got in first thanks to their relationship with Annan, complained: "It's all your fault. We almost made it into the top ten."

"Is the difference between forty and ten?"

Suni, who was only ranked in the 50s, raised her head and took a sip of wine. Talent is more important than hard work, but when people who are more talented than you also work harder than you, this is the situation now.

Sunny is similar to Ruth, she has talent, but she lacks training in a crowd of talented people. The stories of bards and saints are the ones who reach the pinnacle as soon as they debut. Xianna has a headache, and what makes her even more headache is that she has to think about how to explain to Sunny's father that she is addicted to alcohol when she returns...

……

"Actually, you can change your clothes. A classical dress will suit you better." Betty, who was dressing up Annan in the City Lord's Mansion, suggested.

Annan is relatively...tall, and the wizard robe is not actually suitable for bringing out his majesty. Instead, it makes people want to pinch his face.

Changing into a classical dress will make you look taller and less childish.

But even Losey, who always joked with Annan in a casual manner, didn't dare to point this out.

"got used to."

Annan didn't hear anything behind Betty's words and focused his attention outside the window.

At this time, most people in Liberty City are either in the arena, the square or the tavern.

"Where's the princess?"

Betty didn't know this. Losey came over and said that the princess was still at the temple fragments.

"It's a rare event, just pick her up." Annan said, and called Luo Xi who turned around, "No need, I will go find her myself."

After getting dressed up, Annan went out and walked for a few minutes to the park.

The princess knelt in front of the fragments of the temple, and she looked exactly the same as when I saw her two days ago.

"The finals are about to start, why don't you go and watch it?"

The princess knelt there, motionless.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement."

Annan took the princess's hand. Moved by the touch, she stood up, like a beautiful statue coming to life.

But there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

Looking down at the ring that represented the king of Strange City, Annan pulled her out of the underground.

As soon as I reached the ground, a meteor streaked across my head.

Annan glanced at the princess who was only a shell, and whispered a wish:
"I hope Liberty City will grow so big that I need a carriage to go out."

……

In the arena, in the lounge which Annan named the dressing room, a man in a meticulously dressed tuxedo sat in front of the dressing table, making final preparations.

knock knock --

"Please come in."

A waiter dressed as a servant came in with a cup of hot drink and placed it on his table.

"Thank you."

The man in the suit glanced at the coffee and said calmly.

After the waiter left, he did not touch the cup of coffee. He continued to pay attention to himself in the mirror, his lips moving slightly, as if he was muttering something.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the lyrics as soft as a mosquito's whisper.

Even he felt nervous when seeing such a large scene with millions of people.

From time to time, there were bursts of noise and roars coming from outside. It was the sound of the audience cheering and setting off fireworks.

At some point, a very penetrating voice came in.

"Next, let us invite——Silver Throat Bernd!"

The man took a deep breath and stood up from his seat. It was his turn to appear on stage.

Not long after he left, the waiter returned to the men's dressing room and took away the coffee on the table.
