Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 99 Meeting an "Old Friend" in a Foreign Land

"Sure enough, this Alice is the same Alice... The power of luck is truly mysterious."

Roger confirmed this in his heart, and at the same time he seized the opportunity and quietly magnified this "transit" again.

On the surface, he showed a look of reminiscence, and then said:
"Miss Alice Yeaman? I just saw that name in the actor showcase outside...wait."

He suddenly slapped his thigh, revealing an excited and unbelievable look:
"Miss Alice? This Miss Iman is the Miss Alice who walked out of the Tingen City Pier? Is she here?

"I heard my boss, Mr. Faye, mention her..."

Then Roger rambled on about the rumors he had heard about Miss Alice, and subtly gave the names of several musicians, including Tuckerman and Hana, as proof of his identity.

Jeffrey listened carefully, looked at Roger carefully, and then said:
"You come in first."

Roger was delighted. He nodded quickly and followed Jeffrey into the interior of the Dwork Music Company.

The two walked along a dark corridor for a while and came to a stage that seemed to be used for rehearsal.

On the stage, several men and women in costumes and makeup were communicating and rehearsing a scene from a play. When they saw Mr. Jeffrey come in, they all greeted him politely.

They also looked at the tall and thin young man wearing a wide-brimmed hat following behind Jeffrey with some curiosity, and for a moment they were a little confused about what the other party was doing there.

Mr. Jeffrey and Roger walked onto the stage together. Mr. Jeffrey found an opera sheet, picked out a random passage, and handed it to Roger:

"Sing this part, using the high notes."

It was a passage from the first scene of Feynaporte's opera "Elegy".

With his singing ability and the familiarity he gained in the bar on the "deserted island", Roger grasped the key with just one glance.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then spoke slowly:
"Who is in the angelic camp, listening to my cry?

"I imagined an angel suddenly taking possession of my soul, and its more powerful presence making me faint...

"For beauty is but the beginning of horror!"

With the perfect breath control and voice control given by the "singer", Roger's singing voice resounded around the not-so-big stage.

The singing immediately attracted the attention of the other actors. They all forgot about their discussion and rehearsal, staring at Roger and admiring his heavenly voice.

Jeffrey opened his mouth wide, stunned.

At this point, he had completely put aside his previous contempt for Roger.

He has been working in the music industry for nearly thirty years, and this is the first time he has heard such a flawless, soulful and moving voice!

For a moment, everyone fell silent, and only Roger's singing voice echoed and floated on the stage.

After Roger finished singing the part assigned by Jeffrey, he suddenly cut into a depressing part:

“Oh, and the night, the night.

"When the wind that fills the universe erodes our faces, won't the night remain in the world?
"That person has become like the void I threw from my arms, blending into the space we breathe, and turning into a flying bird..." (Note)
At this time, Roger's voice had already switched to the low part. The sad melody was wrapped in a heavy tone, hitting the hearts of everyone present like a sledgehammer.

They seemed to see an ordinary person who had lost his beloved, kneeling in the endless darkness, pouring out his grief to the night wind and the stars.

Even Roger was caught up in the deep emotion of the song, which made his rendition even more moving.

When Roger finished singing this scene, the people at the scene were still in shock for a long time.

After a long while, the audience burst into warm applause!
Mr. Jeffrey wiped the tears from his eyes and walked forward to shake hands with Roger solemnly. Roger also extended his hand to shake hands with him in a friendly manner.

While singing that opera just now, he felt the potion clearly digesting.

Roger also successfully summed up the second rule of acting as a singer:
A good singer doesn't simply interpret lyrics and melodies; they vividly tell stories. Through their voices, people can glimpse emotions, obsessions, and even destinies they've never experienced.

In this code, the song links the two core authorities of the Judgment Star path, "emotion" and "destiny", which makes Roger very sure that it is one of the key points of the "Singer" role.

"Mr. Jeffrey, did I pass the interview?"

Roger asked with a smile.

"Mr. Jones, please forgive my earlier disrespect, you are indeed an excellent singer.

"I believe that with your participation, this performance will be a great success... I have to say that the 'Desert Island' bar is really a lucky place for me. It actually allowed me to discover two excellent singers one after another."

Jack Jeffrey's tone was quite excited:
"We can sign the contract right away. From then on, until the performance begins, you'll need to come on the date and time specified in the contract to familiarize yourself with the play and get acquainted with the team... Is that okay?"

Roger thought for a moment, then spoke:
"Please give me the contract first. I need to take a look at it before I can give you an accurate answer."

He was worried that Jeffrey's rehearsal would conflict with Faye's performance.

"No problem, please follow me."

Led by Jeffrey, Roger came to his office and saw the contract.

"...The performance fee is 200 gold pounds. The performance will be on September 9th from 17:9 AM to approximately 12:2 PM. Before that, I need to rehearse twice a week, each for 4 hours, both in the mornings?"

Since Roger would only be responsible for two acts in the entire play, there wasn't much to rehearse.

After thinking about it, he found this plan acceptable. Not only could it be staggered with Faye's schedule, but it also didn't take up much of his free time.

Anyway, with the "Traveler's Dice" providing transportation, Roger hardly wasted any time on the road.

"Mr. Jeffrey, is there any chance I can meet Miss Alice?"

Roger asked with anticipation. Although he didn't really know Alice, he still had to show enough enthusiasm for his senior, which was in line with his personality.

"Yes, yes, she will be here then.

"Of course, if this performance goes well, you will also have the opportunity to cooperate more with Miss Alice."

Jeffrey responded with a smile, giving Roger some encouragement.

……

On the other side, at 138 Rose Street in the Backlund Bridge area.

Wearing a dark baseball cap and cheap light blue work clothes, with a thick black beard covering his lips, jaw, and cheeks for camouflage, Klein sat solemnly on the floor of an unfamiliar bedroom, looking at the unrecognizable man in the "Dream Divination."

This is none other than Mr. Zreal Victor Lee, the former employer of young Ian.

Mr. Zreal is also a detective, and Ian is his informant, who often helps him collect news and intelligence.

"Mr. Zreal's lip is half gone, and his nose and throat are missing flesh...hiss, it seems he was attacked by some kind of beast?"
