Chapter 47: The Sound of the Piano

After leaving that city, the convoy where Snub Star was located set out on the road again, and what Snub Star and the others saw there was by no means a pleasant thing, although it was only a small place, but it also reflected a certain tendency of the Langmu Empire. Because he didn't want to see those annoying things again, the convoy barely stopped, and went straight to Olvis, the capital of the Langmu Empire, but, after all, the convoy always had to stop, otherwise there was no way to replenish food and other supplies, so the convoy entered Tyson City.

Tyson City is a large city, its scale is second only to Olvis, the capital of the Langmu Empire, Griffith Xiongguan, an important pass in the north of the Langmu Empire, and Caesar City in the territory of the Don Quixote family, it is the fourth largest city in the Langmu Empire, and it and more than 20 cities within a radius of nearly 100 kilometers are within the territory of the Ralph family. The Ralph family is one of the two major families of the Langmu Empire, and the other is the Don Quixote family, these two families have always had a very important position in the Langmu Empire, and they are also the big families that have existed since the founding of the Langmu Empire.

Just from what he saw when he entered the city, Snub Star could tell that Tyson City was not only a city, but also a strong fortress, because he saw the magic cannon on the city wall. The magic cannon is not an ordinary weapon, although the rate of fire is slow, and it takes at least three minutes of cooldown time after a shot, but its power is extremely powerful, and the power of a cannon is equivalent to a demigod-level powerhouse with all his strength, which is very terrifying in war. Moreover, the gate that Snub Star's convoy entered was not the main gate, that is, at least at the other gates, there was a magic guide cannon like here, and there would only be more at the main gate. The size of the magic cannon is very large, as long as it is installed on the city wall, you can see it, and in this way, those weapons that are hidden and will not be visible in front of people in normal times do not know how many, plus the city wall solidified with a magic array, it is definitely an easy fortress to defend and difficult to attack. However, there is no inventory when entering the city, after all, it is not wartime, there are many mobile figures, such as mercenaries, bards, merchants, etc., and it is impossible to investigate in detail, so no matter which country it is in, it is only necessary to pay the entrance fee to enter the city, of course, if there is a war, it will definitely not be the case.

Speaking of which, most of the important towns on the Demon Martial Continent are basically similar in structure, that is, they are divided into inner cities and outer cities. The outer city was inhabited by ordinary commoners, while the inner city was the residence of nobles, and they could not enter the inner city without identification, and this division was also to reduce the conflict between nobles and commoners. Of course, the system varies from place to place, such as in Tyson, where only members of the Ralph family are allowed to enter the inner city. Entering Tyson City, although the inside is not as prosperous as Oran City, but it is also a pretty good place, most of the outer city is residential, such as hotels, taverns and other functional buildings account for a small proportion, from here you can also get a glimpse of the economic strength of the Orlan Empire is not comparable to the Langmu Empire.

After the convoy settled down, the people of the mercenary group dispersed, it was daytime, and it was in the city, basically nothing happened, there was just a guard, and the snub star also left the inn. He didn't know very well what he could do in this Tyson City, since the Langmu Empire was known as the country of art, so it was better to go and see, although he had the experience of which small city he had been in before, but this was a big city after all, and it couldn't be like there. Moreover, since there is such a title as the country of art, and it has lasted for 10,000 years, there must also be real artists here, otherwise there would have been no such title for a long time.

The wanderer walked slowly down the street, and suddenly, after he had passed through a place, the flow of people became crowded, and they all rushed in one direction. Snub Star stopped a person and asked, "Why are so many people heading there?"

Without looking back, the man said, "You're new here, and you don't even know that Miss Nitya is going to perform at the Gertenn Tavern in front of you." After saying that, he hurried away and squeezed into the flow of people.

Snub Star was stunned: "Miss Nitya?"

Judging by the hurried appearance of the person just now, he should have rushed to see this Miss Nitya's performance, and after seeing this Miss Nitya, she should be a very famous artist in the Langmu Empire, otherwise there would not be so many people attracted. In that case, it's better to go and have a look, and I'm idle anyway.

Snub Star followed the flow of people, and finally, the crowd stopped outside a tavern, because there were too many people, the tavern could no longer accommodate it, so they could only stand outside. Snub Star also stood outside the tavern with the crowd, and the sound from the tavern could be heard here, which was the harp playing, like the misty mist in the mountains, and like a babbling stream, fresh and natural, which made people involuntarily relax and immerse themselves in this beautiful music.

So many people are standing, but they don't make a sound, listening to the music quietly, such a scene, I'm afraid it will only be seen in the Langmu Empire, Snub Xing sighed in his heart, the title of the country of art is really not for nothing, and the love for art has been integrated into the blood of the people. Snub Star now has some understanding of the situation of the Langmu Empire, there are indeed many artists who oppress the ordinary people under the banner of art, but there are also real artists, and when such people appear, the people of the Langmu Empire will also treat each other sincerely. The Miss Nitya who performed in the tavern, although she could not be seen, could be heard from the sound of her piano, that she was an artist who was truly pursuing art, otherwise it would not have been possible to play such light music.

Snub Star did not release his mental power to observe the situation inside the tavern, but just like everyone else, he stood outside the tavern and quietly listened to the sound of the piano. Everywhere the piano went, no one made a sound, and it was as quiet as if it were in a forest rather than a city. After some time, the sound of the piano quietly stopped, and the people woke up from the music, some of them still crowded into the tavern to see the Nydia, and some of them left the tavern.

After listening to this, Snub continued walking down the street before turning into a tavern on the side of the road. The tavern before was too crowded because of Miss Nydia's performance, so Snub Star found another tavern. There were indeed very few people in this tavern, and when Snub Star entered, there was only one guest inside, and it seemed that he had just arrived, talking to the waiter. The guest was dressed in a light gray robe, and his entire body was obscured, but a long strand of light green hair leaked out of the edge of the hood, standing out against the light gray robe.

Snub walked over to the counter and asked, "What's the wine here?"

The guest happened to be next to him, heard his voice, suddenly stunned, and turned to the snub star: "It's you?"

Snub Star turned his head to look, the hood couldn't block the person's face, and Snub Star was surprised to find that this person turned out to be the one he had seen before, the elf he had found in Oran City mixed with the human race: "It turned out to be you, why are you here?"

"I'll wait until you're done with your drink," said the elf, "and I'd like to talk to you too." As he spoke, he chose a table in the corner and sat down.

Snub Xing nodded, and after ordering the wine he wanted, he sat down next to the elf: "At that time, I didn't ask your name, what is your name?"

"My name is Nitya Garanord," said Nitya, "and I don't know your name." ”

"My name is Snub Star. Snub Star asked, "Your name is Nitya, is that the person who performed at the Gertenn Tavern over there just now?"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to listen too," Nitya replied with a smile, "Every elf of us is an artist." ”

"Why are you here?" Snub Star asked, "I remember the last time I saw you was in Oran City, how did you get here?"

"I was a bard who lived in no fixed place, and when I first left the Lost Forest, the first place I went to was the Langmu Empire, because I heard that this was the land of art. Nydia took a sip of the wine in her glass and said slowly, "I am indeed very popular here, but I am very disappointed here, thinking that you can see the suffering of the common people here, and I can also see the oppression of those who call themselves artists here, so I can only leave." Then, I went to the Oran Empire, and although I wasn't that popular there, the people there were always smiling, and they were always working hard with hope, so I preferred to stay in the Oran Empire. ”

"So, why are you here again?"

"I'm going to the City of Light," Nitya explained, "and my original purpose was to travel around the Demon Continent, not to stay in one place all the time, so I left the Orlan Empire, and when I passed through here, I didn't expect to meet you." Aren't you at Violet Academy?

"I've already left Violet Academy," Snub Star said lightly, "I'm a mercenary now, and I'm here because of the mission." ”

Nitya seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Also, with your cultivation, even Violet Academy can't teach you." ”

"You should be almost in the middle of the Holy Level, with your age, this cultivation is not bad. ”

Snub Star calmly pointed out Nitya's cultivation and said something amazing. It can be seen that Nitya is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, but her cultivation has reached the terrifying holy level, and she is about to reach the middle of the holy level, such a talent can already be said to be terrifying, you know, Don Juan and Caroline are also about the same age now, but they only have the cultivation of the middle heaven level. This is not to say that Don Juan and Caroline's talent is poor, you know, their talent is already top-notch, but compared to Nitya, it is too much worse, it can only be that Nitya's talent is too strong. However, in the eyes of the snub star, her cultivation is only "good".

Nitya was helpless and changed the subject: "Where are you going next?"

Snub Star replied, "My destination is the City of Holy Light, and because of the way, the voice took over the mission." ”

"Are you too?" Nydia thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we go together?" I noticed that someone seems to be looking for me lately, and it would be better to find a companion to go on the road together. ”

"Yes. Snub nodded and asked, "Someone is looking for you?"

"Yes, it's not strong, but it's troublesome. ”

Snub Star is clear, Nitya should be playing an artist with no cultivation, and if someone comes to entangle, it will indeed be very troublesome, so someone needs to help her stop it. Snub Star doesn't mind this, it's also some small characters anyway, and it's a good thing to have someone to walk with.
