Chapter 410
Larry checked the navigational system and said, "President Luke, there are many pharmacies named 'Divine
Apothecary' in this area."
Maybe this was a chain store operated by the Apothecary Family.
"Looks like the great chemist is really here. Even the hotel carries the word 'great chemist' in their inscription,"
Linda said, showing them the information pamphlet about the hotel where she had made a check-in appointment.
From all these, it showed that they could definitely find some information about the great chemist here in
Gondalwelt.
"Let's drop our things in the hotel and check out the pharmacies," Vania suggested.
Hanson nodded. "Alright."
While they were making plans, a tour group walked past them, and the people in the group were in a hot
discussion.
"I heard that there will be an opera tonight at the La Beltino Theater, and the master from the national-class troupe
is performing."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yeah, and the master will be on stage personally. We're so lucky that we can hear him sing on our first trip here. I
heard that some people had made many trips here but couldn't catch a single show from the master."
"Ever since he started his career, the master has specialized in singing about the great chemist, and nobody could
surpass his skills in singing."
"He's also the one who wrote the play 'Legend of the Great Chemist', and I heard that many details are based on
true events."
"Many people are here especially for the great chemist."
It was true that many people assumed that the great chemist was in Gondalwelt and had no idea about The Broad
Peaks at all. But, if it weren't Vania's babies who found out about this, Vania and the rest wouldn't have thought of
this place, either.
When they overheard the tour group's conversation, they shared a look and quickly went to La Beltino Theater.
This opera master was a famous local opera composer who was very knowledgeable in plays based on legends and
could sing very well. Hence, there was a crowd of people present to watch the performance.
After Vania and the others selected the seats with the best view, they waited anxiously for the play to begin. Finally,
their patience bore fruit as toward the end of the concert, the master finally took the stage.
Sure enough, the moment he appeared on stage, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
"Master, Master!"
Although the tenor singer was almost eighty in age, he still sang with accurate pronunciation and a full-bodied
voice, which kept the audience in awe.
"Please don't forget me… From now on, you're all I'll sing about…"
As Vania listened to the lyrics, she gripped the cup of water in her hands so tightly that her knuckles had turned
white.
He must know about it, she thought.
Hanson gently placed his hand on hers, reassuring her, so that her high-strung emotions would calm, even just a
little.
"Will we meet again… Will you drop by again…"
The classical singing continued, and the applause echoed throughout the hall.
Yet, Vania could not focus on the lyrics afterward because she couldn't wait for the play to end so that she could
meet this master backstage.
Since the master had composed this play, 'Legend of the Great Chemist', he must have had an acute understanding
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof the person they were looking for to write such a piece.
He must know something about that place, Vania determined.
"I look forward to meeting you again…"
The play came to an end and received a round of applause from the entire hall, which lasted for a very long time.
When Vania saw that the master had gotten off the stage, she didn't want to wait any longer and immediately
sprang to her feet, heading backstage.
Nonetheless, at the backstage entrance, she was stopped by four personnel who were in charge of the master's
safety. They raised their hands and blocked her path with a fierce look. "The backstage is off-limits. No entry."
After that, they gave Vania and Hanson a once-over, glanced at Larry and Linda, who were next to them, and a look
of ridicule washed over their faces.
Another bunch of wealthy people, they reckoned. They must be here on an adventure because they have too much
time on their hands.
Despite that, Vania wasn't annoyed at their apparent disdain, and it was clear to her that they had mistaken their
purpose for coming.
