Woodware Street.

Chen Yin and Lancelot walked slowly side by side.

"Do you remember what you mentioned earlier?" After a few days of not seeing him, Lancelot looked much haggard.

"What's wrong? The situation has deteriorated? Chen Yin obviously noticed his strangeness, "But this is also expected, as the struggle for power between the two princes intensifies, this kind of thing will definitely happen." ”

"Hmm." Lancelot nodded, "Even a few old things that have not been asking about the world for many years have crawled out, and I don't know what they are planning. ”

“…… By old guy you mean ......"

"Quasi-legendary." "Especially the one you've met." ”

"The black-robed man of the Ring Bearers' Guild?"

"That's right."

“…… Maybe they're just there to support a certain prince? ”

"No, when it comes to the powerhouses of their level, the royal family doesn't care about anything anymore, but the royal family has to entrap them - which quasi-legend doesn't have a few slaughter cards in his hand?"

Chen Yin was silent.

"This is not over, the troop movements around the imperial capital have also become frequent, and the subordinates of the eldest prince and the second prince are also involved, and the entire imperial capital has been mixed up under the water, and it is impossible to see who is reaching out."

"Could it be that William has the intention of seizing power by force?" Chen Yin suddenly remembered what the second prince Aemond said.

"It's hard to say. Some people have a relationship with William, some have nothing to do with him at all. With his status as the eldest prince alone, he can't do it to this extent. ”

“…… How likely do you think something is going to happen? Chen Yin thought about it for a moment and asked.

"9 percent." Lancelot affirmed, "The Church of the Light has begun to shrink its power, the High Court has been evacuated to the headquarters of the Church of Light, and we, the Hand of the Holy Inquisition, have moved to the periphery of the seminary. ”

"So the imperial capital is definitely going to be in chaos?"

"At least that's what the church judges." Lancelot sighed, "Although I don't know what you're planning, but no matter what you do, please hurry, the safest place in the entire imperial capital is the seminary, if you feel that something is wrong, hurry back to the seminary." ”

"Okay."

"Well, then I'll go first, there's still a lot of things waiting for me." Lancelot hurried away.

Although it is a rule set by the old emperor, it seems that some people are not ready to continue playing.

From now on, William's chances of winning the throne are not very likely, after all, after being calculated by Aemond, the heart is that William is forced to fight with Aemond in an unfamiliar field.

If he is unwilling, then the use of force will be the only option.

The strangest thing in the whole thing was the attitude of the old emperor.

Didn't he know William's intentions? Even the Church of the Holy Light felt that conflict was inevitable, and the Emperor, who controlled the imperial capital in the details of Aemond's mouth, would be unaware of this?

No way.

But his attitude of neither taking a position nor intervening is really ambiguous.

Maybe it was William who he really liked? So he acquiesced in William's mobilization of forces?

Aemond seems to be smart, but he doesn't know that he has fallen into absolute passivity. As long as the old emperor continues to let go, then the probability of William's move can be known without thinking.

Perhaps, Aemond was not unaware, but he just felt that William did not dare. I don't know where Aemond got the confidence that the old emperor would never let this happen?

"It seems that the plan needs to be accelerated...... Chen Yin said to himself.

I chose one of the shops on the street that made musical instruments, and walked in.

"Welcome."

A young girl dressed in a brightly colored dress said: "We have the best materials and the best masters in our Mioca piano shop, and many very famous bards have made their lute ...... in our piano shop."

"I see it." Chen Yin picked up a lute casually, plucked the strings at random, and a sound of ding-dong and crisp sounded immediately.

The appearance of this lute is somewhat like a lute, but it is smaller than a lute, with 8 strings on the front of the body and a large arc on the back, which looks like a cut water droplet.

Interestingly, although this type of instrument has 8 strings, there are only 4 winders to adjust the tightness of the strings.

"If it's customized, what is the approximate price?" Chen Yin dialed it and put it back, "I want the best." ”

"The best material takes about 2 gold, usually about 15 days to make, and it has to be air-dried for 100 days......"

"It's too long, 4 gold, can it be done in 5 days? I can do the air-drying step myself. I'll set 10 if I can, but I'll decide the style. ”

"This ......" Just as the girl hesitated, a white-haired old man with sawdust on his head came out of the room.

"Young man, you want to customize the style yourself?"

"That's right."

"Are there any drawings?"

"No, I can draw one."

A few minutes later, the old master looked at the flat gourd on the drawing and frowned slightly: "I have never seen such a lute ......"

"You're not sleepy, are you?"

"No, but I can't guarantee the timbre of the sound."

"It's okay, that's why I ordered 10 pieces, you use different materials and different sizes to make 10 pieces, and then I will pick the best tone from them."

"Well, you're really extravagant."

Chen Yin shrugged, left the deposit and left.

The concert is next month, and Chen Yin is going to use this time to go through the entire Tower of Knowledge again to see if there is anything left unnoticed.

Next, Chen Yin's routine suddenly became very regular. Practice swords in the morning, go to the Tower of Knowledge after breakfast, deal with cakes and snacks at noon, and go to the inn to meet up with Lancelot in the evening and give a lecture to little Susan.

Five days passed quickly, and Chen Yin came to Mioka again.

In the shop, a brightly dressed girl was explaining a lute to a customer, Chen Yin nodded to her and went straight to the inside.

"You're here?" The white-bearded master was holding a gourd-shaped lute and studying something.

"Well, it looks like it's done?"

"Yes. A few of them cracked, though, and they're tinkering with them. The master shook his head, "The construction period you asked for is too short, and this shape is also strange, and it is inevitable that there will be flaws in the first time." ”

"It's okay, I'll pick and choose what can be used." Chen Yin waved his hand.

In fact, the guitar made according to Chen Yin's drawings is actually a guitar.

I casually took an unpainted guitar and plucked it a few times, and the tone was low and echoy.

"Good workmanship!" Chen Yin smiled with satisfaction.

"You try something else."

Chen Yin picked out a handful of 7 intact guitars with a crisp tone: "That's it, continue to do the rest according to your process, and send it to this address when it's done." ”

Write the address of the hotel to the master, settle the balance and prepare to leave......

"Wait." The master took out a wooden piano case with exquisite workmanship from under the workbench.

"This is the ...... I have nothing to do idle"

"Thank you."

"That ......," the old master wanted to say and stopped.

"How?"

“…… How do you play this lute? Sorry if it bothers you. ”

Chen Yin smiled, sat down on the workbench, adjusted the strings, and thought about it for a while. His fingers touched the strings, and crisp notes flowed from his fingertips......
