"Midsummer Day" morning, Bridge District.

The crowd gradually gathered at the entrance of Wujiuhu Hotel, so that the bridges connecting the banks of the Wan River that passed through the city were somewhat congested, causing great inconvenience to traffic.

The bridge area of ​​Ascatra City is geographically located in the center of a city connecting the past and the future. A big river called "Shanghe" divides Kacheng into the upper city and the lower city. The upper city area on the north bank of the Wanhe River is an administrative area and a temple area. The lower city area on the south bank of the Wanhe River is a wharf area and a slum area, which just separates the settlement areas between the rich and the poor.

But both poor and rich people can quickly get from the settlement area to the bridge area without taking a detour. This is why the real estate in the bridge area is expensive, and the Wujiu Ke Theater is worth 200,000 gold coins but has a price but is unpriced. It is the reason why ordinary wealthy businessmen can't buy it even if they want to.

The festival celebration of "Midsummer Festival" has not yet begun. Only at night, on a clear midsummer night, will the celebration songs be sung in the small squares near major hotels and restaurants in the city.

In previous Midsummer Festival, there was not much festive atmosphere during the day, and there would not be so many people gathered together.

Today, the crowd gathered to watch the stage play of the Bradro Theatre. These people held numbered ticket stubs in their hands, hoping that they would be lucky enough to be drawn and watch a wonderful stage play for free that only nobles can enjoy.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Xiaoping, who was built yesterday, stood up and a loud commissar. He took out a piece of paper and was responsible for reading out the winning numbers loudly, so that citizens holding the winning ticket could enter the venue as soon as possible after hearing this.

Citizens gathered, and there were a lot of people on the scene, and there were even many shadow thieves scrambling to make trouble and steal.

The organizers of this performance had already been prepared. All the Am guards in the Bridge District gathered, and even some of the guards in other areas were drawn to maintain order.

This is a request made by Luo Feng to Mayor Bailana. He proposed that for safety reasons, the city hall must send enough guards to the town hall on the day of the performance, otherwise, if chaos and stampede incidents occur, citizens will suffer unnecessary casualties.

There are also many nobles who come to watch the performances. The ten newly renovated luxury private rooms in the theater were booked by nobles and wealthy businessmen ten days ago. A luxurious private room is enough for a noble family to sit.

In other words, even if the nobles in the theater spend high prices to buy winning tickets to watch in ordinary audiences, there are at least ten wealthy families, nearly a hundred nobles and their relatives.

Mayor Bailana can ignore the lives of the plain-headed little citizens, but she cannot ignore the safety of the nobles and wealthy businessmen. In addition to gathering all the guards in the bridge area to the entrance of the Wujiu Ke Theater, she also mobilized hundreds of guards from other districts to ensure the safety and smooth progress of the performance.

Luo Feng made such a request with another reason. He knew that his behavior of driving out the scalpers and giving tickets angered the Shadow Thieves Guild, who planned to make a fortune from it. With the Shadow Thieves' urinary nature, he would definitely not give up. If there were no more guards to arrange today, the Shadow Thieves would definitely jump out and make trouble, which would make the performance of the Bradro Theater Troupe and not be able to continue.

Sure enough, a shadow thief was mixed in the crowd and causing trouble, but before they could create much chaos, they were caught by the Am Guards who were waiting for the battle and sent to prison for whipping.

After calming down the small riots in the crowd, the Am Guards organized thousands of people to gather together to wait quietly for the call, and they also took a lot of effort, and finally achieved good results. The crowd was in order, and people listened and prayed silently, hoping that they could become the lucky winner of the prize.

"No. 666!" the messenger shouted.

A young man in the audience was stunned, took out the ticket stub and looked carefully, and was immediately overjoyed.

The young man is named Jack. He is a dock worker. He is not a stage play lover. He has only watched two stage plays in his life. After all, the ticket price is very expensive and his income is low, so it is difficult to maintain this kind of entertainment expense.

He just joined in the fun yesterday and got a ticket, but he didn't expect that he was lucky and actually won the prize.

"Lucky young man, if you are willing to transfer this ticket, my master will be willing to pay 200 gold coins to buy it!"

A middle-aged man in a housekeeper's outfit came around him, took out a bag of gold coins from his arms, and spoke in a hurry.

The young man hesitated, that was 200 gold coins, which was more than his salary a year!

But he shook his head, rejected the middle-aged man's proposal, and walked towards the gate of Wujiu Hotel with the ticket stub.

During this period, Ascatra City was full of rumors about "the most exciting stage play in history is about to be staged", and Jack's ears were about to hear calluses. His curiosity had long been raised, and he wanted to see the wonderful drama that could make noble women roll around in tears.

What's more, although he is engaged in heavy physical labor every day, when he returns home, he always has to drag his tired body to carry out cultural studies.

He is very talented in art. He has mastered many skills in painting in self-study. In addition to painting, he also taught himself to read, write and recognize words, and even learned some music knowledge.

Jack's dream is to become an artist in the future, rather than always staying at the bottom of the house and being a manual worker, he is an aspiring young man.

It's just a year's salary. If you miss that wonderful stage play, it might be a lifelong regret.

“No. 736!”

A young girl jumped up happily. She was dressed in luxurious clothes and followed by two bodyguards. She was a lady from a wealthy family.

The girl's name is Liss, and she is the daughter of Sir Kenmton's family.

Her parents were not stage play lovers, so her expectation that her parents would spend a lot of money to book a luxurious private room to take her to watch the show with her failed. She could only ask the housekeeper to buy ordinary tickets without telling her parents. As a result, the housekeeper came back and told her that she only bought a lottery ticket, which might not be able to win, which made her very angry.

That fool butler didn’t know that buying more lottery tickets would at least have a higher winning rate!

But the housekeeper told her that the lottery tickets in the black market have increased to 30 gold coins each, and buying more may not win the prize.

Lis could only pray for Temora to be favored. She came here early in the morning with the only lottery ticket to wait for news. Unexpectedly, the prayer worked. The goddess of luck pampered her very much today.

“No. 147!”

"Moladin's hammer is actually me!"

“No. 65!”

"Aha, Shera Perilol (the goddess of halfling love) favors her loyal believers!"

...

In this way, citizens of different identities and races followed the call of the commissar and walked into the Wujiu Ke Theater with ticket stubs in turn. Some of the winners also transferred the tickets to the noble housekeepers and servants who bought them at high prices.

After checking the ticket, Lis walked down the stairs of the Five Wine Kettle Hotel and arrived at the entrance of the theater. She was surprised to find that the theater had undergone tremendous changes.

She is a little drama fan and often comes to the theater to watch operas. She is very familiar with it, but today she feels very unfamiliar with it.

Flower baskets were placed on both sides of the corridor leading to the theater gate, red carpets were laid on the ground, and many magic lights were added to the tops of the surrounding walls, and an oil painting was hung under each lamp.

As she walked through the corridor on the red carpet, she glanced at one of them casually, stopped immediately, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Oh my God! Such superb painting skills are simply masterpieces!" The noble girl couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, Master Bradro's painting skills are indeed amazing."

Suddenly a young male next to him interrupted: "The techniques he used are very different from those of the traditional techniques of the Painter Faren, and the composition is novel and bold, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye."

The noble girl quickly turned her head and saw a handsome and strong young man standing beside her, her eyes emitting strange light, and she looked at the oil painting poster on the wall with concentration.

This young man dressed simply and didn't look like he was born in a wealthy family.

The girl couldn't help but blush.
