Chapter 120 Gathering of the Extraordinary
It was already late August, and the evening in Tingen came earlier than in Enki Town. It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and the road and trees were already painted with the color of the setting sun.
After Luke and his wife saw them off, Xifa and Kyle boarded the carriage, and saw from the window that the shareholders of the telegraph company were waving goodbye.
Suddenly, Luke coughed a few times.
Cifer was taken aback, thinking that he, like the two of them, would cough up strange smoke. But after he activated his spirit vision, he found that everything was normal, so he was relieved.
Kyle noticed Xifa's strange behavior and glanced at him: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Xifa shook his head and turned off his spirit vision.
Back at the hotel, Xifa remembered that tonight at the Red Maple Grand Theater, there will be a party of Extraordinary people. Richard had left the VIP box number for the party in his letter.
Originally, Xifa wanted to book a private room not far from the meeting place, but it was a pity that he got the news a bit late, and those with better locations had already been booked out.
In the end, Xifa could only book a private room on the lower floor of the meeting place, which was not a VIP room and had no separate bathroom.
Informed Matthew and Gru that after having an early meal in the evening, Sifa returned to the bedroom and saw the macaw standing sullenly in the cage, without looking at the female companion next to it.
Xifa knocked on the birdcage: "What, did you quarrel?"
"No, it's worse than that," said the macaw dejectedly.
Xifa took off his coat, unbuttoned his collar, sat on the sofa, and looked at it with interest: "Let's hear it?"
"I was quite happy at first, but soon I discovered that this is a stupid bird!"
The macaw spread its wings and held its head in them: "It doesn't understand my humor at all, or even what I'm talking about."
"It's only now that I realize that I was so stupid before. Fortunately, I'm already a noble dragon now."
"No, you're still a bird." Sifer said ruthlessly, and then said, "Want to go out with us at night? We're going to watch a play."
"Of course there is!"
The macaw raised its wings and pointed to Sifa with the tip of its wings like a finger: "Mortal, have you finally woken up? Knowing how ignorant it is to keep a great existence like me in a cage."
Xifa snorted: "It seems that you are more suitable to stay in the cage."
"Oh no."
With one wing, the macaw pushed the female companion away: "Listen, I admire you very much, I think we will be very compatible. So you open this damn bird cage quickly, I can't stand this stupid bird anymore. Bird, it even defecated in front of me, it's not ladylike at all!"
You're asking too much of a bird
Xifa finally let the parrot out: "I can take you out, but you have to do one thing for me."
"Do you want me to teach you how to please females? It's very simple. First of all, you must have shiny and beautiful feathers, such as me. Cough, of course it was me before."
Xifa took out the shadow glove and shook it, and the parrot, which had learned to behave, immediately closed its mouth.
"It's not what you think."
Sifa opened the window and leaned against the window, enjoying the evening breeze: "In the middle of the night, I need to leave for a while."
"I need you to watch over my valets and bodyguards, and if they want to find me, you have to find a way to haunt them until I come back."
The macaw replied neatly: "No problem, can I kick their ass?"
"Whatever you want, but you have to remember not to reveal that you are a magical animal."
"No, I'm a giant dragon, woohoo!"
It was night, at the end of 8 o'clock, there were already many carriages parked at the entrance of the Red Maple Grand Theater.
In the carriage, the servant Matthew held the ticket and said, "Sir, tonight's drama is called "The Earl's Expedition". It mainly tells about a young earl who responds to the call of the kingdom to go on an expedition to other places and has to separate from the girl he loves. poignant love."
"And tonight's heroine is Miss Pamela, who has been very popular recently."
Xifa didn't care about tonight's drama, but Matthew seemed very interested. After arriving at the theater, Xifa got out of the car. The image of a parrot standing on his shoulder attracted a lot of attention.
The macaw babbled softly in Sifa's ear.
"It's really lively tonight. Look, these humans are looking up at my heroic appearance."
"Oh, the necklace on that woman's neck is really beautiful. I heard that dragons like shiny things. I think I should have some jewelry to set off my noble status."
"Hey girl, would you date me?"
Xifa squeezed the parrot's beak, and said with a smile: "Let me hear you talking again, I'll put that thing on your mouth for a whole night!"
When they came to the reserved private room, the macaws flew to the coat rack and settled down, making birdsong from time to time, and began to pretend to be crazy.
Sifer took off his coat and hat, handed Matthew his cane, and sat down on the chair Gru had pulled out for him.
There are fruits, wine and cakes on the table next to it, but the portion is limited, enough for two people to enjoy.
Sifa picked up a bunch of grapes casually and threw them to the parrot one by one. The latter caught it, ate it, and yelled a few times from time to time, trying to play his role tonight.
When the play started, the lights in the box were turned off, and Matthew and Gru were also on the side, enjoying it quietly.
After a while, Xifa felt that the time was almost up, got up and said, "I feel a little sick to my stomach, I need to go to the bathroom, and I may not be back until later."
Matthew said very dutifully: “Sir, let me accompany you.”
"unnecessary."
Xifa patted him on the shoulder: "You don't always want to enjoy such a drama, the opportunity is rare, you just stay, I can take care of myself."
When he left, he heard the bodyguard saying: "Sir, you are so kind, you must be an outstanding nobleman in the future. By the way, do you know where the theater sells ice cream?"
After using the bathroom to change clothes, Xifa came to the venue where the party was held. Several private rooms here had already been reserved. As soon as Xifa turned into the passage, he was stopped by someone.
"Sorry, you can't pass here, please change to another passage."
Xifa didn't explain, just took out Richard's recommendation letter and handed it to the guard.
The other party took the letter and read it through, then picked up a silver rattle and rang it.
After the bell rang, someone came out from the front room.
The guard handed the letter of recommendation to this man in a tuxedo with a mustache who looked like a butler: "This is the 'guest' introduced by the musician."
The 'Housekeeper' returned the letter to Sifa with a smile: "Please follow me, sir."
Sifer put away the letter and followed him into the room. The room was partitioned, and behind the door was a table with several masks on it.
"Please choose one at will and wear it."
Xifa nodded, scanned it again, and then picked up a gorgeous, exaggerated, golden mask, with the corners of the mouth curled up to outline an exaggerated smile.
"Let it be."
