Chapter 621: On stage
Aurelian sat by the window with an instrument called a guitar and played softly... Her best friend, Wen Enna, was excitedly lying next to the window.
"Sister Aurelian! Look there... A magic machine like a horse. ”
Wen Enna pointed to the bustling street below, where a magic guide car was slowly driving by.
She was glad that Qiao Xiu was not here now, otherwise Wen Enna's excited appearance could be said to have embarrassed the High Elves.
"Wenenna, you're not afraid of those humans now?"
Aurelian plucked the strings and glanced down the street below.
She still underestimated the rate of human reproduction, and the entire street was filled with humans.
Most of the High Elves are afraid of humans, and Aurelian can hold on to her pride for a while, and if it were Winna, she would throw the girl into a street full of humans, and she would find a place to hide in fear.
"It's a little, but I just think the view in front of me is beautiful." Wenenna whispered as she looked into the street in the distance.
In her eyes, Aurelian saw the emotions of yearning and shock, and what Winna longed for was not the life of the human world, but ...... A ball of light floating over the city.
"The power of faith is all gathered in the center of Nolan."
Aurelian stared at Nolan's sky, and even though she had been sitting here for almost two hours, she still didn't feel a little tired of the scenery in front of her.
In the past, Aurelian had heard stories from the elders about humans, and she had always believed that humans were a group of unbelieving creatures, even if they ostensibly believed in a god, but many of them would abandon their faith for the slightest benefit of themselves.
But after arriving at Nolan, Aurelian realizes that she is wrong, humans are not just creatures without faith, they are simply pilgrims, martyrs, and the most faithful servants of the gods depicted in ancient books.
But what surprised Aurelian the most was ...... The god they believe in is a World Tree!
"Joshee Arnorod, how the hell did he do it... Let humanity worship the World Tree. ”
Aurelian was amazed at what she saw, but also envious.
"It's a bit complicated to explain, but if you're interested, you can experience it for yourself."
Qiao Xiu quietly appeared at the door of the room of these two elves, and their keen perception had already detected Qiao Xiu's existence.
"Right away?"
Aurelian came back to her senses, and she found that Josiu's eyes were fixed on the guitar in her hand.
"Are you already familiar with the scores I gave you before?" Qiao Xiu asked.
Aurelian's slender fingers flicked on the strings, and the next second Joshua heard a melody he knew so familiar to Earth, and the High Elf girl was showing off her unparalleled talent in this way.
"I still can't believe you." "But I can't deny that the songs in the scores you've given me are wonderful. ”
"It looks like it's ready to be officially staged."
Qiao Xiu had mentioned the matter of performing on stage with Aurelianne before, and she was mentally prepared.
"I have one more question." Aurelian hesitated for a moment with the guitar in her hand, and suddenly asked, "Humans really don't do anything too much to us?" ”
"Something excessive?"
Qiao Xiu noticed that the eyes of these two High Elf girls suddenly became very strange.
Aurelian bit her lower lip lightly, but still overcame the shame in her heart and spoke.
"Elder Enya says the humans will treat us as slaves and will hunt us down."
"You got this kind of setting from that book... First of all, slavery is illegal in many countries around the world, and Nolan is among them... Also, are you High Elves really that weak? ”
Qiao Xiu's last provocation succeeded in arousing Aurelian's fighting spirit.
"I've never been afraid of humans." Aurelian walked straight out of the room Josieu had arranged for her with her guitar.
………………
The streets of Nolan.
"Is this bard performance really okay?"
Ciri glanced at the venue chosen by Qiao Xiu, which was a relatively prosperous commercial street in Nolan, and there was a wooden platform built at the end of the street for speeches.
This wooden platform is the property of the Holy Religion, and many years ago it was on this wooden platform that the missionaries gave impassioned speeches about their faith or condemned some unbelievers.
Now that the churches in the Holy Religion have been supervised by the Nolan law enforcement team, of course they don't dare to put leaflets everywhere, and this wooden platform is of course abandoned.
"I'd love to record them and release them, but in that case... The accumulation of popularity is a little slow, so a digital performance is needed. ”
Qiao Xiu glanced at the group of people who were preparing behind the scenes, in addition to the few performers invited by Sir White Vitex, the most eye-catching were the two High Elves.
"Are you both ready?" Joshua and Ciri came together in front of the Man in Black and Aurelian.
Aurelian had changed into Nolan's popular mage-style robes, and judging by the way she tugged at the corners of her clothes from time to time, she was still not used to wearing this human garment.
"I used to be a bard for a while." The man in black glanced at the pedestrians on the street outside, "But at that time I was singing elven psalms, which only attracted a small number of human listens, and the two songs you gave me were really... Can it stop so many humans? ”
The Man in Black, who had a wealth of experience as a bard, knew that it was not easy to do it, and that the pedestrians on the streets would not stop for a stranger, no matter how good the singing might be.
"If you rely on songs, I think it's very unlikely..."Qiao Xiu shook his head regretfully, and said a very unremarkable answer that made the man in black feel very unremarkable, "The two songs I gave you are for retaining people, not for attracting people." ”
"I'm confident in the songs you give me."
The man in black looked at the scores of the two pieces that Qiao Xiu had given him again, and when he sang them for the first time, he felt a kind of soul shock even without an accompaniment.
"Leave aside the comments in advance, it's time for you to take the stage." Qiao Xiu pointed to the wooden platform in the distance and said.
The man in black walked directly onto the wooden platform without saying a word, he was used to this situation as a sage who had experienced a hundred battles, but Aurelian hesitated for a while, but under Qiao Xiu's gaze, she still gritted her teeth and walked onto the stage.
"How do I think all of these High Elves have a phobia of humans?"
Ciri's gaze panned back and forth between Aurelian and Winna for a moment, the High Elf named Winna was already in a state of stiffness.
"Humans used to have demonphobia, and it will take time for this to ease." Qiao Xiu said.
"There have been a lot of these bard performances lately, and I always think they're going to roll over."
Since the launch of the Magic Net and Tylene's concert, more and more people have turned their dreams into music.
Sir White Vitex is the most aware of this aspect, and Qiao Xiu has heard that his music guild is often visited by young people, in order to find a chance to become famous overnight.
This also allowed Sir White Vitex to find a lot of qualified seedlings, which is also the development that Qiao Xiu hopes to see.
"I've got a cheat code this time."
"'Who's your father?' in Warcraft An effect? Ciri asked quietly.
"You'll find out later."
During the period when Qiao Xiu was talking to Ciri, the performance on the wooden stage had officially begun, and this was the first run-in of this improvised band, and the results were not as good as expected, but it was not as bad as expected.
The men in black took on the role of lead singers, and the first song they sang was not a song written by Qiao Xiu, but an elven poem that the elves were proficient in.
With the sound of Aurelian's guitar, the Man in Black began to tell an old story.
This sage's singing skills Qiao Xiu really has nothing to say, and it is the kind he has practiced, his voice is gentle and energetic, but it is a pity that the people of Nolan listen to the song he sings too much.
