It was a silent twilight, and the light of the setting sun was drowsy.

Avalon Pier, where a ship docks in the harbor, but it is rare for passengers to walk down from it.

Just in front of the empty dock, a man as big as a monster crouched on a bench, reading a crumpled pamphlet in his hand.

Boom!

A huge suitcase, half a man high, was thrown in front of him, and a cloud of dust was kicked up in the muffled crash. The visitor, who did not match the heavy and huge salute, looked up and looked around.

The boy wore a pure white dress, and his face was even fairer, like a woman, but handsome and immature. He wore waist-length blond hair, which was tied behind him in an ornate headband.

In the sun, the silver hair ornament and the long gold-like hair complement each other, elegant and luxurious.

On his arm, like a tattoo, it is decorated with the coat of arms of two snakes, which looks strange and elegant.

"It's still the same, this hellish place. ”

The young man who didn't look very old sat on his suitcase and poked the giant man in front of him with a cane: "Yo, Seton, so indifferent, don't you say hello?"

Sedon raised his head, looked at him coldly, and after a long time, gritted his teeth and asked, "Yo, why aren't you dead yet?"

"It makes me a little sad that you say that, friend. ”

The blonde boy shook his head and sighed, looking sad: "I also bought you a new collar, which must be able to make you more disciplined." You're doing this to me?"

Quack!

The bench made a crumbling sound, and Seton glared at the golden retriever in front of him, his knuckles crackling.

"Hey, forget it, you're still so easy to get angry. Let's change the subject......"

The boy sighed, and then couldn't wait to look around: "What about our two lovely new employees? Have they eaten well? Have they had a good rest? Have they become white and fat?"

Come, let me see, and introduce me to the boy who is full of secrets, and the girl who is also full of secrets......"

He opened his hands excitedly: "Whoever it is, go and tell them! Their great, benevolent, kind, handsome, and beautiful boss, the esteemed Lord of the Kingdom, Mr. Hermes, has returned!"

－

At dusk, the delivery was finally completed.

Ye Qingxuan sat in the corner of the fountain square lazily basking in the sun, and his crutches were curiously grabbed by Bai Xi in his hand.

In the twilight sun, Ye Qingxuan took out the ether ball from his pocket and habitually pronounced a few syllables, but there was still no response.

"Are you still trying this?" Bai Xi saw the ether ball in his hand and understood.

"It's impossible for you, the range of those common notes is concentrated in the high-pitch and low-pitch regions, your vocal range can't reach that level, and you can't sense the ether at all, right?"

Bai Xi sighed: "But you can't hit a dead mouse more than 100,000 times, how bad should your luck be?"

"No way, maybe I'm unlucky. ”

Ye Qingxuan shrugged, but once again thought of the thrilling riot in the afternoon. The fierce flash of thousands of iron cranes flying in the air, and the great power of Princess Yunlou's almost casual blow......

"Taiyi. He finally remembered the word and looked up at Bai Xi: "At noon, what did you mean by 'Taiyi'?"

"Huh?" Bai Xi looked dazed: "What Taiyi?"

"I heard it. Ye Qingxuan pursed his lips: "Don't pretend to be stupid, you said it when the princess of Yunlou was assassinated, 'Taiyi'." ”

"Oh, that's it. Bai Xi thought for a long time, nodded and said, "It should be said that it's talent, right?"

"Talent is at most a wide range or dexterity, if this is a talent, it means that the princess can be so powerful just after birth?"

"That's the talent — the real talent. ”

Bai Xi said: "It's not the voice, it's not the appearance, it's not the sixth finger on the right hand, it's some more congenital condition." What was conceived from the mother's womb was even earlier than that. Something that was already destined when the ancestors made their vows. ”

"I don't understand it. Are you sure you're talking about something that humans can understand?"

Bai Xi looked at him helplessly, and after a long time, he couldn't help but sigh: "That's why it's strange, do you really have oriental blood?"

Ye Qingxuan pointed to his hair: "I thought this kind of thing was obvious." ”

“......”

"I'll just ask you a question: Did you know that in the East, a lot of people have black hair?"

"Huh?"

Ye Qingxuan felt that his worldview had been impacted: "Isn't it white?!"

"Gray hair is also rare in the East. There will probably be one out of a few thousand, right? You saw it in the afternoon, right? There are also quite a few black-haired female officers in the Yunlou Mission. In the East, it is a good thing to have a child with gray hair, because gray hair represents the atavism of the blood and has the potential to become a 'musician'.

Such people are called 'celestial beings'. Every white-haired child would be admitted to the Imperial Court at a very young age to be admitted to the Guozijian for the education of musicians. The success rate is about 1 in 3, right?"

Ye Qingxuan felt a headache, he seemed to have heard something wrong.

"Wait, you're saying that one out of three gray-haired people can become a musician?!"

"That's right. In Anglo, how big is that? 1 in 1,000?"

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Less than one in ten thousand." ”

"That's right. That's why it's scarce. ”

Bai Xi stroked his hair and looked proud: "In Eastern mythology, people come from the sky.

It is said that long before the Dark Ages, all people had the same fine clothes, beautiful faces, white hair, and good wine. Life is wonderful, incredible. But later, because the celestial beings were contaminated with the cause and effect of the earthly world, they fell into the mortal world.

Some people gradually forget their past, live in the mortal dust, and their hair gradually turns black. Only the nobles still retain the characteristic of white hair. In order to preserve the bloodline, intermarriage with other people is not allowed. ”

"So ruthless?"

Ye Qingxuan was speechless: "Is it useful?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it's been hundreds of years, and because of wars and natural disasters, how many families have disappeared. In addition to the occasional atavistic children of the people, there are only nine white-haired pure-bloods left from generation to generation. It is known as the Nine Dragons.

Almost two-thirds of the musicians in the East come from these nine families.

These nine families have many secrets and technologies, and it is said that they are all protected by artifacts that will keep the family prosperous. When each generation of heirs reaches adulthood, they will leave their hearts and minds in the ancestral hall and accept the test of the artifact.

If you pass the test of the artifact, you will gain comprehension. What comes to mind may be mysterious knowledge or musical scores, or more precious ...... Talent.

It would be a gift to their bloodline, and it would be a lifelong bondage. ”

"The 'Taiyi' you are talking about, is that the talent of the princess of Yunlou?"

Bai Xi chanted softly: "The auspicious day is good, Mu will enjoy the emperor......; Of all the talents, Taiyi is also one of the strongest.

Such a talent, known in the West as the 'scepter', is a force that only a very high-level musician can possess. ”

"You know a lot. ”

He looked at Bai Xi with a strange look in his eyes: "Hey, cousin, you won't be a young lady from a certain dragon vein family, and the Qiao family ran away, right?"

"Big cousin, you have a lot of imagination. ”

Bai Xi looked at him with disdain: "But the nobles in the East only have one family surnamed 'Bai', okay? It is the 'Regent' who stole the authority of the country thirty years ago - Bai Heng." However, when he rebelled, he was the only one left in the Bai family who died. ”

As she spoke, she gestured her little finger, full of ruffianism: "If I were his daughter, let alone glory and wealth, as long as I stretched out a little finger, how many people rushed over to teach the princess of Yunlou at noon to be a new person." ”

"I suddenly feel that you are not a princess, it is really a good thing to benefit the country and the people. ”

Ye Qingxuan suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. It was Bai Xi who plucked one of his hair, and she plucked another one of her own, comparing them together.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, just confirm. ”

Bai Xi waved his hand and looked at the two white hairs intently, amazed.

If you get closer, you can see that the hair of the two people is different. If Bai Xi is hair is pure silver white, then Ye Qingxuan's hair has a shallow golden luster, which is almost impossible to see if you don't pay attention.

"It's really a half-breed white hair...... It's incredible. ”

"Isn't that weird?"

"It's all said, only pure-bloods are gray-haired. I had never heard of mixed-race gray hair, and the first time we met, I thought you were dyed.

Even if it is an Oriental with the same blood, if there is an intermarriage between the celestial and the commoner, the child born will lose the characteristics of gray hair. How strong is your paternal bloodline?"

She paused, her expression suddenly shocked: "You...... It can't be the illegitimate son of some great nobleman, right?"

"All said, your imagination is too rich. ”

Ye Qingxuan knocked her on the head and interrupted her: "My father is just an ordinary musician, and my mother is not a special person. Let's stop here. ”

"That would be a pity. Bai Xi muttered in a low voice: "If you are a pure-blood, then even if you are mute, you can easily become a musician." ”

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed softly: "This kind of thing, what's the pity." ”

"Alright, let's go. It's time for us to go back. ”

Ye Qingxuan shook his head, no longer remembered the past, and got up with a cane.

"Oh. ”

Bai Xi replied in a low voice, a little reluctant: she finally came out for a day, and she hadn't had enough fun.

Ye Qingxuan saw that she was a little awkward, and immediately smiled, in the future, she would take her out to play a few more times if she took on more procurement or delivery work.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard an old voice behind them.
