Chapter 148: Sophie's Thousand Whys

The moonlight is like water, and the stars are silent!

The city is silent at night, with only the stars blinking beautifully and brightly. A gentle breeze gently blows in your face, bringing the fresh taste of the sea.

There is music and singing, and all kinds of candles and lanterns are lit up in the western-style house, illuminating the whole manor.

Designed and built by the greatest architect of our time, the Vanka Master, the whole building is exquisite, like an elegant pearl of the night, and only in the night lights will bloom the most beautiful side.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows and ceilings of the expansive ballroom are made of thick, transparent glass, and the bright flames that burn inside illuminate the entire ballroom, illuminating the walls and thus the night sky outside.

One can see a myriad of large and small lights as the fish climb up the brightly lit castle along the manor's street lamps, and the bright light passes through the center of the ballroom like a torrent of silver and gold, and the men and women at the ball, singing beautiful songs, dance on this rapid.

Inside the Western-style pavilion, the smell of feasts, music, dance, and drinking is carried by the night breeze to far, far away.

Carl dodged the noisy crowd, broke free from the enthusiastic guests and fans, and quietly ran to the tower alone, the cool breeze blowing in the night couldn't help but calm him down, and at the same time deeply regretted his romance just now.

"What did I do!"

The effect of the spell cast by the dragon and phoenix posture passed, and the power of the ancient Greek heroes from Homer's epic poems dissipated in his body, and Carlton regained his consciousness and composure, eager to plunge headlong into the cracks in the ground.

Look what he had just done, he behaved roughly, he ate and drank at the ball, and when he was done, he forced Mrs. Loris to dance with him. When the power of the Greek heroic soul was injected into his body, he felt that it was natural to do so, as a hero, it was to live more happily, more realistically, and more chic than ordinary people, eating meat when he was hungry, drinking wine when he was thirsty, and taking the initiative to hug him when he wanted to be beautiful, there is nothing in the world that heroes should take care of and hesitate about.

However, this is the worldview of ancient heroes, not Carl's worldview, this simple and pure way of life, and it is not suitable for today's era, although it seems that because of the spell effect of Longzhang Fengzi, everyone did not show dissatisfaction and disgust because of his rough behavior, but Carl dare not guarantee that after the spell effect is lost, this group of people will not react.

At least, Karl, who was now awake, felt embarrassed and was very embarrassed to hide in the tower to calm down.

The carnival continues below, with beautiful music streaming from time to time. Carl knew who was playing now, the great musician Janko, a legendary musician.

He came from a poor farming family and was a shepherd boy under a fence since he was a child. But he has an unparalleled musical talent, he loves music, he has a natural sense of musicality, and wherever he goes, he can always hear music.

In the fields he could hear the insects playing for him, and in the orchards he could hear the sparrows singing for him. As he piled up the hay, he heard the wind whining his wooden branches to accompany him. Everything he could hear in the countryside was music. He was even punished countless times by the supervisor for this.

This natural musician couldn't suppress his love for music, and at the age of eight, he finally touched the first instrument he had ever touched in his life, and because of this, his owner mistook him for a thief and whipped him dozens of times.

The seriously injured little Yanco should have died of a serious illness because of this, but Mrs. Loris happened to be living in the countryside at that time, and she was kind enough to save the innocent child.

The story is even more well-known, and with the patronage of Mrs. Loris, the young musician quickly showed his talent, learning music at the age of eight and composing his first piece of music at the age of ten. Up to now, he has composed more than 200 fine pieces of music, and has become the most prolific and famous musician in the mainland.

His serenade for Lady Loris is known for its melodic beauty, delicacy and elegance, with a fairytale romantic fantasy, and a rich emotion that is subtle and subtle, and is one of the most popular pieces for men to courting women on the continent at present.

However, this great musician is shy and shy by nature, except for his sensitivity to music, he knows nothing about human affairs, everyone knows his feelings for Mrs. Loris, but he never dares to express it, and even blushes when he looks at Mrs. Loris, and hides for several days, so he can only pour all his emotions into music, leaving one immortal work after another.

The enthusiastic dance between Carl and Lady Loris just now probably stimulated the great musician, and he was inspired to write a new movement.

However, Karl was not interested in admiring the great musician's new work, and he was still immersed in his own embarrassment.

"Are you here to see the stars?"

Just as Carl was frustrated, a crisp and innocent voice interrupted Carl's thoughts.

Carl then realized that there were already other guests in the tower, and that the daughter of Sir Grant whom Carl had seen before, a little Sophie in a beautiful princess dress, was sitting on the battlements of the tower with her legs hanging down, while looking up at the stars.

"I've seen the story of 'Daughter of the Sea' you wrote!"

Sophie looked back at Carl and said softly, "Mom read me bedtime stories, but I prefer to read them myself." ”

"You said that the Little Mermaid was raised to the sky by God and became a spirit with a soul, so did she become a star?"

"Huh!"

Looking at the little girl's crystal-like pure eyes, Carl didn't know what to say for a while, it had been many years since he first read the story of the mermaid, and he had long forgotten the mood of the year, and naturally he couldn't re-experience the feeling of a child reading this story, so he could only ask questions and answers in a popular way.

"It should be, after all, the Little Mermaid is so kind, so pure, and God's mercy will favor an innocent and kind soul. ”

"Oh!"

Sophie listened to this answer, nodded, stopped talking, looked at the starry sky silently for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why do the stars in the sky keep twinkling?"

"Mom said it was the stars blinking, but I knew that the stars in the sky were the same earth as under our feet, and the earth didn't blink, so the stars shouldn't blink......"

"That's probably because of the refraction of the air!"

Carl didn't expect Sophie to be a curious baby, and knew that the stars were the same planet as the earth, and seeing her relentless pursuit of natural phenomena, Carl simply answered her with the answers he had seen since childhood.
