Reject me, you damn woman.

.........

At the same time, Lin En, who successfully used the reversal technique to return to reality, was feeling very happy.

As expected, the Iron Maiden Masked Priest is Celitia, and Celitia is the Iron Maiden Masked Priest.

If the fight between the two continues, either both will suffer losses or it will be a long and ugly one. Lin En doesn't want to fight with a woman until he is covered in sweat, well... at least he doesn't want to do it on the stage.

After all, the essence of a duel is not about winning or losing, but about seeing the other person's true face under the mask.

So, I'm sorry, Sister Celitia~

Although the method was a bit cunning and tricky, the winner was decided.

What's more, now that Celitia hates the identity of "White Mask", it can be said that Lin En has won a great victory.

It should be like this.

But how come it still appears on the stage after traveling through time?

As soon as he crossed back to the present world, Lin En saw a guy with an extremely exaggerated expression and movements stabbing towards him with a spear. Lin En, who had been stabbed by Celitia for a long time, almost subconsciously raised his hand to push the unlucky guy to the ground.

Then, he saw the gorgeously dressed woman lying on the ground beside him, and the complex expression on her face, a mixture of fear to the point of almost fainting and "Who the hell are you?"

Lynn was startled, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the curtains on both sides being opened, realizing that the performance had just reached its last scene, and Mr. Olar was lying on the ground twitching in the audience.

After hesitating for a moment, he skillfully placed one hand on the actor's shoulder, bent over, and saluted gracefully in front of the actors' horrified gazes.

The audience was silent.

Just when Lynn was wondering if he had messed up, thunderous applause broke out!

........

"Awesome!!! Rose and Golden Opera House is awesome!!!"

"Wow, this is so exciting! I've watched this play eight times, and I've never seen such an exciting new story. It's completely fulfilled my dream!"

"Reality is so heavy, who wants to watch a trivial tragedy? Good, good, this change is great, the ticket price has paid for itself!! I was originally planning to send knives to the screenwriter, but now I have no choice but to give him a tip."

"I can understand the first part, but why did the mysterious man appear suddenly, and he was wearing a mask?"

"You know shit. His sudden appearance is a special effect. Manager Olar has said it many times. And he's wearing a mask so that the audience can put themselves in his shoes and express the screenwriter's... um, homesickness!"

Historia said nothing, but her trembling lips, her rising and falling chest, and the tears that kept overflowing from her bright eyes were enough to express her feelings at the moment.

Elena on the side frowned.

It’s not that the girl likes to eat knives or thinks this ending is bad. In fact, she was very happy to see such an ending and wanted to applaud at first.

But just as she was about to applaud, her classmate Lin En's radar moved.

Elena frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

Chapter 189: You control it! I control it, everyone controls it in a spiral (6k)

The Rose and Gold Opera House, as the most prestigious opera house in Rose City and even the entire Fire Rose Empire, the difference between it and other opera houses is just like the difference in attraction to men between the roast chicken who only knows how to flirt in the red-light district and the empire's beautiful and gentle princess who, after laughingly discussing state affairs with her ministers, turns her head and puts her ear in your ear, sucking on your earlobe while whispering to you that she has the little gift you gave her last night stuffed inside.

What makes the Rose Opera House special, besides its wonderful scripts, excellent actors, outstanding architectural concepts and perfect service, is that it holds many records.

For example, regardless of war or natural disasters, regardless of whether the theater is full or deserted, the Rose Theater has maintained its performance record for a hundred years without interruption.

According to the legendary opera founder of the theater, since the theater's sign is to commemorate the "afterlife" of the deceased, when the curtain opens, even if no one is listening, there will be deceased heroes and ghosts listening in the audience.

Although many people scoff at this statement, after all, except for a very small number of historical heroes who can become heroic spirits, most people return to the arms of the goddess of the underworld after death.

But the reason why the Rose Theater is unique may have a lot to do with these inexplicable persistence.

Tonight's performance can be said to be full of problems, and the number of accidents encountered can be said to be the highest since the theater was built. A few minutes ago, the theater manager Mr. Olar was even mentally prepared for this century-long uninterrupted record to come to an end.

After realizing that what he did in the film world had a significant impact on his performance in the real world, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little sorry for this "best friend" who risked his undercover identity being exposed and risked his life to help him:

"I really didn't expect that we were not the only ones who had made sufficient preparations. I hope that what happened tonight did not cause any trouble to Mr. Olar. If you need any help, please let me know. I will let Granny and the others help you."

Olar walked up to Lin En, with a gloomy face, pressed Lin En's shoulder, and said heavily:

"Yes, and there are a lot of them."

Lin En nodded. He already had an expectation.

"Would you be interested in making a guest appearance in the next life?"

"what?"

Lynn couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Genius, Your Highness, you really are a genius!"

Mr. Olar finally couldn't hold back any longer, the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and he kept waving his hands.

"I have never seen such a perfect performance and such a perfect rescue. Your Highness, you are simply a rare genius in the performing arts world!"

"Thanks to your wonderful performance tonight, I even think this will be the most successful performance model of the entire Rose Theater... no, the entire opera industry in the past 100 years!"

Lynn is already a little out of shape:

"You mean, the accidents that happened tonight not only did not ruin the performance, but made it more successful?"

"More than that, I've already said this, tonight's performance will have a phenomenal impact on the entire opera house! Tonight's Rose Theater will definitely leave a strong mark in the entire history of opera!"

Olar sighed.

"Our screenwriter has been working hard to come up with a new script, but due to the success of the 'Afterlife' series and the pressure brought by the reputation of the Rose Theater, even if he came up with a new script, it would only be a new 'Afterlife'. Tonight, Your Highness gave us a new idea and a new story. I didn't expect everyone to be so interested in the changes to the past stories. Thanks to Your Highness's help, we finally decided to make drastic changes to some of the old things."

"Also, we have decided to continue using the lights-out-then-lights opening tonight for every show in the future. As for the 'accidents' that happened during today's performance, we are also planning to add some appropriate special effects to the script. However, using too many special effects is not only prone to accidents, but also very expensive. We plan to record it together with the performance, using crystal projection on the stage. I hope Your Highness can give some advice then."

Mr. Olar was so excited that his face was dancing with joy. To compensate for this, Lin En listened silently. It was not until Mr. Olar mentioned using a projection crystal that he began to feel more and more familiar with the music.

A performance format that is played to the audience through screen recording and projection, isn’t this just a movie?

He was able to make musicals evolve directly into the film industry from an accident. Is he really a genius? !

But when it comes to advice in this regard, he can think of a few:

“Since we have decided to use projection, why not make the opera bigger and not confine it to the theater? How about choosing a suitable location to shoot it on location? And as for the script, if you plan to change the historical tragedy, why not add an omnipotent protagonist? Wouldn’t that be more fun to watch?”

Mr. Olar's mouth had grown into an O shape. He looked at Lin En with astonishment. His originally excited eyes gradually became solemn. He took two steps back and bowed to Lin En seriously.

"You are worthy of me, Your Highness... No, you are my dear friend. I have a feeling that everything you have done tonight will elevate a great art form once again."

Lynn waved his hand nonchalantly.

It's just some basic common sense in filming and some tricks from old-fashioned time-travel novels.

Mr. Olar, who really intends to make a movie in the medieval world of magic, makes him feel even more incredible...

At this moment, Granny on the side spoke with a complicated expression:

"But, Mr. Olar, do you still remember... that you are an undercover agent?"

Deathly silence suddenly fell in the box.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I lost my composure."

Mr. Olar coughed awkwardly.

Lin En smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay. It can be seen that Mr. Olar really loves his current career. Moreover, I think if he can really do it well, it will be a good thing for the empire."

Making movies...Ah, no, opera can also be beneficial to the empire?

Now Granny and Olar could hardly keep up with Lynn's train of thought.

"When Mr. Olar is recording the script, it wouldn't be a bad thing if he could mix in some elements of the purple gold flower and make the image of the empire a little friendlier, right?"

Lynn explained with a smile.

Granny hadn't figured it out yet, but Mr. Olar understood it almost immediately.

The use of crystal recording playback will certainly make this new type of opera more popular and more densely performed than traditional operas.

In other words, its social influence on the people will be unprecedented.

As long as some images and information that are favorable to the empire and the Purple Gold Flower are mixed in, the empire's ally will subtly develop a favorable impression of the empire from the bottom up, from the common people to the nobles.

This move is really amazing!

It's so wonderful that it's even a little... chilling.

Lin En took a sip of black tea elegantly, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

Since Mr. Olar has already seen through it, I won't pretend anymore. This trick is called - cultural invasion.

Even in the world we once lived in, where information technology was developed and the average education level was high, the effect was amazing, not to mention the magical Middle Ages where information was blocked and national education was limited.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Lynn believed that Mr. Olar would not let her down.

Lin En suddenly remembered something, turned around and scolded Granny:

"Do you know why you don't understand? You won't make any progress if you indulge in those fictional stories and become a self-entertaining fangirl. Learn more from Mr. Olar and try more refined art. Being obsessed with everything will only hurt you!"

Seeing Shadow Knight nod, Lynn heaved a sigh of relief.

Just for this dish of vinegar, he made such a big meal of dumplings. I hope this guy will write less crazy fan fiction in the future...especially the kind where the protagonist is himself.

This is the longest time she has been with Lin En.

The Shadow Knight, who had a somewhat weak personality, immediately lowered his head in shame.

Is His Highness hinting to me that I should not indulge in self-satisfaction?

It's time for me to take that step.

understood!

I will try to publish your highness' fan fiction tomorrow!

"alright,"

Lynn cleared her throat.

"Let's talk about the real topic of tonight. Have you got any results on the movements of the Crown Princes?"

Speaking of this topic, Granny finally raised his face and nodded.

After all, in order to deal with various situations on the stage, Mr. Olar was only in the box for a while at the beginning. Granny was the one who stayed in the box in front of the crystal surveillance camera throughout the whole process.

Lin En remembered that the black-clad cult leader had said in person that the prince who had cooperated with them tonight had indeed come.

Lin En didn't think that the explosion would kill the other party so easily.

That is to say, the crown prince who actually cooperated with the blasphemers would leave the room for a while when the performance started, and return to the room before the end of the performance as if nothing had happened.

Although the photographic crystals in the room had been blocked by the crown princes using their own magical powers, the corridors and other places were intact. The person with records of entering and leaving was the most suspicious one.

This was also what the three of them had agreed upon at the beginning, and it must be enough to expose each other's plans.

However, at this moment, Shadow Knight's performance did not seem to indicate that she was certain of victory. To be more precise, her expression was somewhat subtle. She placed the four crystals on the table:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I monitored the itinerary of several Your Highnesses throughout the entire process, but..."

"let me guess,"

Shadow Knight hesitated to speak, and Lin En looked at the four crystals on the table.

"Except for Historia and Elena who have been in the audience, the other four princes all have records of entering and leaving the box, right?"

The Shadow Knight looked at the prince in astonishment, who seemed to have predicted the future. She even suspected that Lin En had also seen the crystal records in the shadow world.

"Yes, Your Highness, their entry and exit records are all in the crystal. It's my incompetence..."

"No, it's not your fault, Miss Granny, on the contrary, you did a great job,"

Lynn's fingertips rubbed across the four crystals, and the image of the four princes walking in the corridor suddenly appeared in front of him.

They are the arrogant Third Princess who practices swordsmanship and is full of dissatisfaction in every move, Her Highness Hilteria, the Second Prince Her Highness Roslet who is as tough and powerful as iron and expressionless, Her Highness Best who walks with his mother with a satisfied look on his face, and the most inconspicuous Fifth Prince Her Highness Zervis who always has a warm expression and a very gentle and peaceful face, and who loves literature and art.

The blue light of the crystal reflected on Lin En's face. He suddenly smiled faintly and turned off the projections:

"Thanks to you, I may already know who that prince is."
