Chapter 61: Determination
Leaving the alley, Wood found a nearby inn that doubled as a tavern and opened a room.
But he didn't go upstairs to rest immediately, although he had eaten some desserts before, but at the end of the day, Wood didn't eat lunch or dinner except for breakfast in the mansion, so Wood casually ordered a few side dishes and sat downstairs to eat.
Although the taste of the food is not as good as the food in the mansion, it is barely decent.
And Wood's attention wasn't on the food, because he suddenly remembered something...... Although it was said at the beginning that Caiyue Pleiades would find a way to build a temple by himself, if he completely counted on Caiyue Pleiades, it would be a long way to go if this temple was built.
For the gods, the temple is undoubtedly the most important.
Without the temple, no matter how many believers there were, Wood would not have been able to accept the faith of this world.
And if there is no temple, it will be difficult for ordinary people in this world to remember themselves, after all, in this world alone, Wood is the same as Yato, who didn't even have a temple in the first place, he is a nameless god; It was with this in mind that Wood made a bunch of wood carvings as temporary idols.
Now that it's out this time, it's time to find a way to solve the temple's problem.
Wood is here to think about how to make money.
On the other side, there is a young girl struggling with whether to advance or not.
Liliana looked at Wood, who was eating in the inn, and couldn't help but feel a pang of despair in her heart.
Why is he here?
She touched the bruises on her neck and suddenly felt that something must have gone wrong in her life......
Originally, everything was going well, but after coming to this town, she was favored by the richest grandfather in the town, so that she could eat well and live well, but since she was kicked out of the house by the old grandfather a few days ago, her life here has become unsmooth!
First of all, personal belongings were frequently lost, and they were chased and killed by a group of inexplicable people in white, and today I met a guy with a problem with my head, and I planned to go back to the hotel to sleep well, and wait for two days to check out and go to Alam Village.
Outcome......
Why is this guy with a problem with his head here?
If she hadn't had any money, she would have left here to find other inns, but now there were only two ways in front of Liliana. Or just don't see it at all, go straight to the hotel and go back to your room; Either...... Sleeping on the streets!
Liliana stood in place and struggled for nearly two minutes, and finally gritted her teeth and resolutely stepped into the hotel, anyway, judging from the appearance of the other party before, as long as she didn't provoke, she shouldn't trouble herself for no reason.
"You can't see me... You can't see me......"
The corners of Wood's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at the girl who walked in front of him while muttering, and a wicked smile appeared on his face: "I saw it!" β
"Shhhhh
Liliana froze, turned her head like a puppet, and sneered, "Ah, the head...... Benefactor, you are here too! β
Wood glanced at the girl and casually pointed to the chair in front of him: "Sit down." β
"......" Liliana was stunned for a moment, and then her head shook like a rattle: "That...... I've already eaten, donor, you can dine by yourself. β
"Who let you eat it?" Wood stared at him and said softly, "I just have something I want to ask you." β
Liliana was silent for a long time when she heard this, and finally sat down in front of Wood at the moment when Wood grabbed the chopsticks with her thumb and forefinger, and bowed her head respectfully: "My lord, I am a wandering bard, my name is Liliana Mascorid, please feel free to ask!" β
Wandering bards?
Wood was stunned when he heard this, and looked the girl named Liliana up and down with strange eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
In this world, wandering bards and bards are essentially very different from each other, although they are the same profession.
The bards who live in one place are just picking up people's teeth, and only sing well-known stories, more like the storytellers in restaurants.
The wandering bards are completely different, as can be seen from the word 'wandering', they have no fixed place to live, and they carry out the concept of going with the wind and going with their hearts; Wandering bards travel all over the world, weaving touching events, poignant loves, heroic legends and other stories into moving songs, so as to pass on those characters that exist in history forever.
One is the creator and the singer, and the other is just the singer!
Looking at Wood's gaze, Liliana seemed to understand what Wood was thinking, maybe she had often been questioned like this before, and she said proudly: "Don't look at me like this, since I left home at the age of thirteen, I have survived alone with the Ryuli in my hands until now; I traveled all over the world, compiled various stories into songs, and delivered my songs in every city! β
"Uh-huh."
Wood nodded indifferently: "I didn't say I didn't believe you, don't be so excited." And isn't it just an unemployed vagrant who lives everywhere, what is there to be proud of? β
Performing everywhere...... Hobo?
Liliana's already healthy wheat-colored face darkened, and she stood up directly from her seat, as if she had completely forgotten her fear of Wood, and looked at Wood with a serious face: "I'm traveling to find the latest 'legend' in the world. β
"Legends?"
Wood pursed his lips secretly, he was really a little uninterested in this word, because anyone who can become a legend ...... Basically, nothing ends well.
Either he died, his family died, or his wife died......
If it's not sensational enough, it's hard to spread this story, just like the 'Sword Ghost Love Song' of the dead wife, his wife is not dead...... Who listens to this song!
Of course, these Wood just thought about it in their hearts, because Liliana, who said this, had an unshakable determination in her eyes.
"βLegend!"
Liliana closed her eyes slightly, then opened them and looked into Wood's eyes: "I set out on a journey to pursue it, to sing its praises. Her voice gradually became subdued, and even without music, it gave people the magic of conveying feelings directly to the listeners' hearts.
And so it is again!
Wood frowned, and after taking a closer look, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It's really a kind of protection.
Thinking that it should be the ability to convey inner feelings to the audience, the rest of the diners in the hall on the first floor of the hotel couldn't help but look at Liliana under the influence of this protection.
Immediately, Liliana took out the instrument called 'Liuli Lei' in the box and played it in public.
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Wood's mouth moved slightly, although in those biographies it is common to see a plot similar to that of a bard who is agitated and directly sings loudly criticizing the injustice of the world; But when this scene really happened in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, just talk well, why sing?
"We, known as minstrels, are a group of people who turn stories into songs to make ends meet. The singing soaks the hearts of the listeners, carving the real past and history into the soul and enduring! Singing has the power to pass it on, and even if the poet who wrote it dies, the song will remain in the world. β
Liliana continued to sing, and Wood wanted to interrupt, but looking at the audience around her, she didn't interrupt.
"We can't leave something tangible. I can't make things, I can't write, and I can't even settle down. With these feet, they traveled the world, sang where they arrived, and brought the song to anyone's heart, and then continued to find another land. Then, one day, in the deserted wilderness, the pillow of musical instruments will turn into decay β we are such creatures. β
Wood had to admit that Liliana's voice was beautiful, even if she didn't care about the lyrics.
Because when she sings, her singing, her words, her eyes, and her movements are filled with an emotion called 'determination'.
"It is precisely because we are creatures that cannot leave tangible things, but only in our hearts, that we want to create things that can remain in someone's heart. I want to be able to prove that I am indeed alive and that I have carved into my soul in history. If there is something to pursue, it is fame. β
Wood couldn't help but shake his head, not because he was denying Liliana's song, but because ...... From the song, a tragic and long-determined life trajectory is clearly revealed.
Stubborn and pretentious!
But Wood couldn't say anything about it, because there was nothing false in that determination to 'only do this'!
Relatively......
Determination was the farthest word from him.
Because the road to achieving the goal is often full of crises, and if you are not careful, you will never recover.
And what makes him unable to mock ...... He has also had the experience of 'only doing this', even if he was forced to do it. That's why it's ...... He has an inexplicable understanding of Liliana's consciousness.
So Wood didn't say something sarcastic, but nodded seriously: "That...... It's amazing. β
Liliana was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, and she expressed her gratitude to Wood for his affirmation: "Thank you! Then he said, "The inheritance that can remain in people's hearts for a long time and strongly is history." Inheriting the original song is also a way for bards to be proud of their survival. But......
"If I could, I would like to be the first singer to sing a song that will keep people's hearts. I want to use my throat, my tongue, to convey the world's newest, freshest history. β
"βthat's what I want."
Bang Bang ......
The entire tavern hall burst into applause at this moment, and the faces of the guests showed encouragement, even they could hear the realization of death from Liliana's songs!
