Chapter 77 The Bard Ah Jiu
A few days later, Su Yang and his party successfully arrived at the Dark City, which was located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms.
As soon as they entered the city, Su Yang and the others were shocked by the prosperity in front of them, the spacious streets were full of mercenaries with swords on their backs, and the streets were crowded with vendors hawking, and the sound of hawking continued to reach the ears of Su Yang and others.
"Fire Dragon Grass, the third-order superb, the real thing only costs fifty gold coins!"
"Fourth-order Water Demon Beast Crystal Nucleus, the best auxiliary for refining alchemy elixir, take away five hundred gold coins!"
"Mithril Mine, an ore containing Mithril, an excellent thing to create a divine weapon, only exchange for those who are interested in interviewing!"
......
"Tsk, this dark city is even more lively than I imagined. Su Yang sighed.
Moore Feiyu on the side also looked like a curious baby, although both of them were from relatively prominent backgrounds, but they had never wandered on the mainland for some unexplained reasons, so when they saw a city like a paradise for adventurers like Dark City, their hearts were still full of shock and curiosity.
And Yue Lacey is not used to this, after all, she has been on the mainland for a short time, and she has seen a lot of these scenes.
"Once upon a time there was a beautiful tree in Terra, where birds chirped, and clear water flowed in the river, and night and day ......"
Just as Su Yang and the others were shuttling through the crowded crowd, a bright singing voice accompanied by the playing of the harp came to the ears of Su Yang and the others from a distance.
This song seems to contain a magical power, so that everyone who hears it can't help but put down what they are doing and stand quietly in place.
"Tears hang in the corners of the eyes, and the darkness of the night generally cannot be broken. There is a withered tree in Terra, and the birds do not want to sing in the branches, nor do the streams want to flow under the tree, and the day and night are reversed. β
As the last lyrics fell, the harp slowly stopped playing, and the pedestrians who stopped woke up from this beautiful song, and Su Yang and others were no exception.
The sad Ah Jiu sang there again. A mercenary with a scar on his face said.
Sad Ah Jiu?
Su Yang's face was full of questions, and he stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, who is that sad Ah Jiu you are talking about?"
Although the scar mercenary had a fierce face, when he heard Su Yang mention Ah Jiu, his expression eased, and he said slowly: "Ah Jiu is a bard who only appeared in the Dark City recently, but it seems that this guy has some sad past, since he came here, he will play and sing this ballad every day, although the big guy basically can't understand it, but I have to say that Ah Jiu, this kid sings really well, and it is also because this ballad gives people a sad feeling, so everyone calls him sad Ah Jiu." β
"I wonder if this eldest brother can tell me where this Ah Jiu lives?"
"Why are you asking this? Do you know Ah Jiu?" Scarface said warily, "Although Ah Jiu is too jealous, he is a member of our Dark City Mercenary Guild anyway, if you have any bad thoughts about him, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." β
"Where is it, big brother, you think too much, I just have some questions about this ballad I want to ask this poet Ah Jiu. Su Yang hurriedly explained.
"Well, well, you go all the way from here and turn a corner, and you'll see a square, and Ah Jiu is there.
"Thank you, big brother. β
......
Su Yang, who got the answer, returned to the team, and Yue Leixi said with a curious expression: "Little junior brother, what are you asking about this bard?"
Su Yang didn't say a word, as if he was in a daze, and Fei Yu next to him shook him a few times before he reacted and said, "Ah, senior sister, what did you just say?"
Yue Leixi was speechless, stepped forward and knocked on Su Yang's head and said, "I asked you what you are looking for this Ah Jiu for?"
"It's nothing, it's just some of my personal matters, so let's go, senior sister, you and Feiyu Moore will wait for me in front, and I'll come when I go." β
With that, Su Yang quickly squeezed into the crowd and walked in the direction Scarface said.
If you want to ask why Su Yang went to find this bard Ah Jiu, it is very simple, because this bard is singing a ballad from the demon world, the ballad of Talaku.
And Su Yang liked this ballad after seeing it once in the Tower of Death before crossing over, so he also went to the Internet to find the soundtrack version of this ballad, but the search results at that time were not satisfactory, but what he didn't expect was that he heard this ballad after coming to the Arad continent.
The most important point is that Su Yang will not feel strange if he hears this ballad in the Demon Realm, but this is in the Arad Continent, from the information he obtained in the Ancient Library, it can be seen that the Arad Continent has been cut off from the Demon Realm for hundreds of years, and it is not yet known whether the people of the Arad Continent know the name of the Demon Realm.
Therefore, Su Yang thinks that this Ah Jiu must have something to do with the Demon Realm, and at the same time, according to Su Yang's own understanding of the main plot of the game before he crossed over, the source of the black aura seems to be the Demon Realm. So this Ah Jiu Su Yang said that he had to get in touch with him.
Not long after walking, Su Yang came to the square that the scar-faced mercenary said, and sure enough, there was a young man standing at the central fountain of the square, and after approaching, Su Yang understood why the scar-faced mercenary said that this Ah Jiu looked too jealous, the reason is very simple, this Ah Jiu's appearance is really impeccable, a bright long golden hair is scattered behind his back, slender fingers caress the harp in his arms, and a smile on his handsome face, but this smile is not due to happiness but a wry smile in Su Yang's opinion, to be precise, it is a kind of bitter joy with sadnessγ
What made Su Yang feel even more jealous was that this Ah Jiu was still a man, "I have to say that the God of Creation is really too partial, how could he create such a handsome man, this is simply a kind of torture for other men." Su Yang, who has never believed in God, secretly slandered himself.
Seeing someone staring at him, Ah Jiu stopped playing and asked, "This adventurer, did you come to me for something?"
"Ahh Su Yang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just that I was attracted by your singing voice and couldn't help but want to come and see the owner of the singing, I thought that the person who could sing such a beautiful singing voice must be a ......."
"She must be a beautiful woman. Ah Jiu added.
"I'm sorry. Su Yang's face was full of apologies.
Ah Jiu shook his head and said, "It's okay, my appearance is a bit female, everyone here says so." β
"Who are you who are biased towards women, aren't you a blonde beauty who gets rid of the Adam's apple?" Su Yang complained again, and then remembered the purpose of his coming and asked, "I'm sorry, I want to inquire about the name and origin of the song you sang just now." β
"Oh, do you mean the ballad of Tarakuri? this is not a ballad native of the continent of Arad, but from a distant demon realm. Ah Jiu said slowly.
"Sure enough," Su Yang said inwardly. However, on the outside, Su Yang still maintained a calm appearance.
Seeing that Su Yang was unmoved when he heard his words, thinking that he was frightened, Ah Jiu continued: "The Demon Realm is another world that is very far away from the Arad Continent, but the Demon Realm has now been cut off from the Arad Continent for hundreds of years, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it. β
"No, I've heard of it. Su Yang said word by word.
"What ?!!"
This time it was Ah Jiu's turn to be shocked, and a minute later, Ah Jiu quickly put the harp behind him, and said: "Follow me" and suddenly took Su Yang's hand and ran towards the alley on the right side of the square, Su Yang was also stunned, and when he was about to get rid of Ah Jiu's hand, he thought about it: I happened to learn about the situation in the demon world from this mysterious Ah Jiu. So Su Yang ran with Ah Jiu pulling him.
After running for a while, Ah Jiu and Su Yang came to the alley, and as soon as they entered the alley, Ah Jiu let go of Su Yang's hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's the first time I've heard someone say that I know about the Demon Realm, so I'm so excited, please forgive me." β
Su Yang waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.
Ah Jiu then continued: "Can you tell me where you heard about the Demon Realm? This news is very important to me. β
Su Yang nodded and said, "Yes, but you also have to tell me why you want to inquire about the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm is not a good place for ordinary humans." β
Ah Jiu smiled bitterly and said, "You're right, the Demon Realm is not a good place for ordinary humans, but it's different for me, because it's my hometown." β
Hometown?!! Ah Jiu is a visitor from the Demon Realm?!!
Su Yang was completely shocked and couldn't speak for a while.
Seeing that Su Yang was silent, Ah Jiu said, "I hope you can keep this secret." He slowly picked up his long hair that was covering his face, revealing a pair of pointed ears, and then looked at Su Yang and said, "As you can see, I am a native of the Demon Realm. β
"Then how did you come to the Arad Continent? As far as I know, it seems that the Demon Realm does not have a direct passage to the Arad Continent. Su Yang finally asked.
"I was sucked here by the spatial turbulence, I was walking on the road to Central Park, but suddenly a spatial turbulence sucked me in, and when I woke up, I came here. β
"I see, no wonder you have that ballad. Su Yang said with relief.
Ah Jiu shook his head and suddenly said: "No, I didn't know that ballad, it was taught to me by a mysterious prophet, and she also gave me this harp, and she told me that as long as I keep singing this ballad in Dark City, an adventurer who knows the Demon Realm will send me home." β
After a pause, Ah Jiu's expression suddenly became eager, and he grabbed Su Yang's hand again and said, "You must be the adventurer who can send me home as the prophet said, it's great that you finally appeared, and I can finally go home." β
Prophet?
Su Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to send you home, my strength is just a great magician, so I can't help you." β
After listening to Su Yang's words, Ah Jiu's eager expression gradually dimmed, and he muttered to himself: "Impossible, Master Prophet clearly said that there would be someone who knows the Demon Realm to send me home." β
Seeing that Ah Jiu's mood was getting lower and lower, Su Yang couldn't help but say, "Ah Jiu, although I don't know how to send you home now, I promise that I will definitely find a way for you." β
"Really?"
"Hmm. Su Yang nodded.
Ah Jiu then put away his depressed mood and asked, "Then what should I do now?" Master Prophet told me that as long as I wait for your appearance, you will naturally tell me what to do next. β
Do what?
Su Yang had a headache, he still had to go to the ancient ruins to explore, but he couldn't take Ah Jiu with him, he thought for a while before he spoke: "That's it, Ah Jiu, I have something to do now and need to leave here, how about coming back to you when I come back?"
Ah Jiu thought for a while and said, "Yes." β
Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then it's decided, you just wait for me here in Dark City, and I'll be back in half a month at most." β
"Good. β
