Chapter 59: The Bard
The silent sheep intestine path has been passed by dragon cars and pedestrians for a long time.
Wood walked for most of the day, and only met a few people, most of whom were villagers from Alam Village.
He didn't think there was anything strange about this, this road was the road to the border of the kingdom, and it would be really strange if someone other than the villagers of Alam Village came to meet him.
Most of the people who walk on this path are also people who have purchased from outside.
Wood didn't hire a dragon cart and didn't carry anything other than a backpack.
Originally, Wood's plan was to find a place where no one was around, and stay for a day and a night before returning to the mansion; But then when he thought about it, he realized that he hadn't been in this world much before.
Even though the first place he visited was the royal capital, Wood had never traveled outside of these two locations except for the slums and the high streets.
Anyway, it's all out, so it's better to just find a place to wander.
Looking up at the sky overhead, it was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon from the perspective of the sun slanting to the west, and if the direction was correct, it should not be long before the town of U'o-U'o could be seen.
With this in mind, Wood pulled out a map from his backpack, searched for it carefully, and nodded, making sure that he was not going in the wrong direction.
Uao Uao Town!
It is the closest town to the village of Alam. It only takes two hours to take a dragon car from the village of Alam, and the people of Alam village go to this town if they go out to buy.
Without the dragon car, it wouldn't have taken long to walk, and even at the pace of Wood's current walk, most of the day would have been less than that of U'O-Uo.
After walking for about half an hour, the outline of the town came into Wood's view.
Unlike Alam Village, which has only more than 200 people, this town covers a large area, although it is not prosperous, but it is much more prosperous than a small place like Alam Village.
As soon as you enter the town, you will be greeted by a main road that leads to the depths, and there are various stalls on both sides of the road.
"Decorate this ...... for me"
Wood came to a stall and pointed to the cake-like dessert that exuded a mesmerizing one.
Having been spending almost all of his time stealing Beatrice's desserts lately, Wood discovers the desserts of this world...... Surprisingly delicious.
I bought some snacks in a few places, and while Wood ate snacks, he enjoyed the unique scenery of this world town, although aimlessly, it can also be said to have a different flavor.
This kind of ordinary life is rare for Wood, at least in the world of one punch...... He didn't dare to run around so aimlessly, it was too dangerous.
“——”
At that moment, a singing voice that seemed to reach the depths of his heart caught Wood's attention, and he looked in the direction from which the song had come from, and although it was a remote corner of the street, there were many people gathered there.
"How does it feel?"
Wood frowned, for some reason there was a strange longing in the song, which made the song more deeply rooted in people's hearts. 、
After listening carefully for a while, and seeing that there was no harm, Wood didn't care.
Taking advantage of his small body, Wood squeezed through the dense crowd of onlookers to the front row and saw the singer in the middle.
It was a young girl with dazzling blond hair, her skin was a healthy brown, and she looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old; She was about the same height as Beatrice, and so was her figure, but her slightly thin figure was wearing a slightly revealing dance skirt, which showed the airfield to the fullest.
In the hands of the girl, she holds an instrument shaped like a guitar, and the music that is sometimes sad and sometimes cheerful with the singing voice is endless, and people can't help but immerse themselves in it.
Wood listened for a while, and realized that what the girl was singing was not so much a song as a storytelling in the form of a 'song'.
It made Wood think about a profession that would appear in the biographies he'd been reading lately—the bard!
Connecting people with the world through singing, weaving stories, traveling around the world, and spreading this story in the form of singing and dancing to make it widely spread, a profession that takes honor as a trace carved into the soul in history.
Although......
Personally, Wood thinks it's a bunch of homeless people.
The only difference is that this group of homeless people has their own talents, and they go to various places to compile stories about what they have seen and heard, and convey them in the form of songs; Therefore, the bard can also be said to be the most well-informed group of people, and the common people can only know from the bard if they want to know the legends and heroic deeds of other regions, and even other kingdoms.
Wood nodded, inwardly correcting himself for the inappropriate name.
It's a great bunch of ......
Showman bum!
Regardless, the melody of the song is still very beautiful, and although the storyline has a bit of a sense of déjà vu, Wood also listens to it with relish.
Judging from the words of the people around him, this opera seems to be a well-known modern song.
It's called -
Sword Ghost Love Song!
Although the first act is not heard before, this second act begins with a swordsman who is known as the 'sword ghost' because of his focus on the sword, after the first battle of the royal capital is victorious.
Hiding his unconscious love, the sword ghost swings his sword and gallops to the battlefield, but after getting together with the girl, without the sword ghost himself knowing, the heart that focuses on the sword finds something that can be with the sword, or even higher than the hand.
This concludes the second act.
Acts 3, 4, and 5 begin one after the other.
Acquaintance, acquaintance, acquaintance...... The ups and downs of the story are accompanied by a pleasant vagueness and beautiful singing voice, so that Wood can't help but immerse himself in it, although the more he listens, the more he has a sense of déjà vu, but it does not affect Wood's listening.
The final fifth act ends with the sword ghost and the girl facing each other on the temple, and finally ends successfully...... In short, the most typical love and killing each other, but in the end, the sword ghost still hugged the beauty.
After listening to it, Wood immediately understood why this story gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
If memory serves......
The sword ghost in this famous modern song still exists in this world to this day, but the girl in the song is gone.
After singing five acts in one breath, Wood woke up from the story to find that before he knew it, the sky had become pitch black, and the crowd around him was gradually dispersed.
The girl on the stage had a cheerful smile on her face and bowed to the crowd that had dispersed.
"Thank you for listening."
Wood blinked at this and silently collected the money that he had been about to throw away...... Because he found that none of the people around him gave money, which made Wood a little embarrassed.
Isn't it the kind of 'those who have money to hold a money field, and those who have no money to hold a personal market'?
After hesitating for a while, considering that if he gave out the money, he might be smashed in the face by the other party on the grounds that he was insulting me, Wood gave up his plan to 'make money' and turned to leave here.
But he didn't notice that the bard saw him take the money back, and his little face twitched.
Wood had no idea...... The reason why the other party has not packed up and left for so long is because he saw him preparing to hold a money field and stayed, which made people look forward to it for a long time, but it ended with taking the money back to the backpack!
The girl didn't pounce on Wood to fight, and she could already be said to have a good temper.

Although I said that I tried not to exceed the plot of the original work, I still wanted to change my thinking about the plot of the original work.
I really want to end it from zero as soon as possible, but I haven't achieved it yet......
