Chapter 37: The Eve of the Storm
"Are you sure that thing works?" Hermione also noticed the instrument, which was obviously used by many of the musicians who performed today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was an instrument made of a feather pipe that plucked a wire string to make sounds, and Benjamin heard that they called it a harpsichord.
"No problem, I have no doubt that it is the predecessor of the piano. When they're not looking, I'll just use a spell. ”
Benjamin said very calmly, and when he talked about it, it was as simple as talking about the weather.
"Well, hopefully nothing will go wrong. Hermione prayed silently in her heart, "Benjamin, right now, no one is looking at us, they all seem to be paying attention to the first musician to perform on stage!"
Leonardo da Vinci sat nervously in the front row of chairs, and Cruf, who was sitting next to him, had a look of displeasure. "Leonardo da Vinci, can't you just settle a little bit? I suspect something is wrong with your chips and parts!"
"Are you sure the man next to me is the mysterious guest you say?" Leonardo da Vinci saw a man with a delicate face, dressed in a decent suit and speaking fluent Italian.
Could it be that after the resurrection of the master, even his face changed?
"That's right, so I'm not sure if he's Mr. Leonardo da Vinci. However, with Mr. Leonardo da Vinci's abilities, it was easy for him to change his face. ”
Leonardo da Vinci nodded approvingly, "That's right, then let's observe and observe." It's just that when he saw me, he didn't react at all. ”
"Because you are his most failed work, if it were me, I would only pretend not to know!"
Crouff sarcastically said mercilessly.
At this time, a beautiful melody came from the stage, as the opening, such music may be a little lacking in enthusiasm, but it is already precious.
"Very talented young musicians. He has a pair of slender fingers and an astonishing sense of comprehension. Sadly, he was a Muggle. Crouff said with his eyes closed, as if he were enjoying himself.
"You said Muggles!" Leonardo da Vinci immediately interrupted Crouff, "Didn't the master say that we should not call Muggles and wizards?"
"Yes? Maybe it's been so long that I've forgotten it. Actually, I don't even know how these two terms came to my mind, but they linger......"
"That's the voice of the devil!Crouff, have you done something terrible!" Leonardo da Vinci shrieked, while a noblewoman behind him made a voice of disgust.
"Where did the wild cat come from, it really has no quality at all, and it is elegant to come here!"
Leonardo da Vinci's face flushed, and he stopped talking.
As the performance went on, the music began to get better. When it came time for the most prestigious musicians to take the stage, there was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.
"Oh, every time I hear him perform, I feel the urge to bow down!"
Leonardo da Vinci didn't answer, he kept watching the mysterious guest's reaction, but the man kept smiling and didn't make any more movements, like a doll.
"Without him, we wouldn't have such a wonderful instrument as the harpsichord, it is the king of instruments. Crouff suddenly thought of something, he glanced at Leonardo da Vinci, and said with a little contempt, "By the way, those two little friends of yours seem to have brought brand new instruments? Brand new instruments, in front of the harpsichord, only the class is left to get the axe!"
Leonardo da Vinci said with little confidence, "They, they're very powerful." Under Crouff's tough gaze, Leonardo da Vinci's voice finally lowered, "Well, I admit that in front of the harpsichord, all the new instruments can only be reduced to supporting roles, eclipsed. ”
When the grand symphony was over, the atmosphere in the hall reached its highest point, and just when everyone thought that the final performance would be the maestro's curtain call, the brilliant musician got up and left.
It's just that he didn't say a word, but drew his wand and used a sound amplification magic.
"Dear gentlemen and ladies. Thank you so much for your support tonight, for letting me know that I am not old yet. Although I am more than five hundred years old. (There was a burst of laughter from the audience) but there was another musician who didn't show up tonight," the musician suddenly showed a hint of displeasure and disdain, "It's really terrifying, I heard that they are going to show off a brand new instrument today, and even threaten to surpass my harpsichord!" It seems that I am really old, and it turns out that I can be a musician by talking big words these years!"
Leonardo da Vinci's cat face was no longer bloodless, and he looked at Crouff who was watching the play, and said angrily, "You didn't tell me that you would arrange them in the finale!"
"What are you afraid of, only in this way can you attract his attention. Crouff pointed to the mysterious guest, who had finally changed his posture and had a very curious expression.
Leonardo da Vinci sat back like a deflated balloon.
"Alright, well, hopefully Benjamin they won't let me down......" Leonardo da Vinci's voice was now as low as the sound of a mosquito.
The musician on stage left angrily, but he just walked off the stage, sat down next to Crouff, and finally added, "Just let me see what the biggest joke of the year is!"
"I'm good at this, Mr. Musician, would you like to listen to me?" said Leonardo da Vinci reflexively.
Backstage, Benjamin took one final look at his clothes (yes, he had used his magic to turn his robe into a tuxedo) and nonchalantly said, "I'm ready to go on stage." ”
However, Hermione gave Benjamin a worried look and said nervously, "Who the hell is spreading rumors, we didn't mention the king of musical instruments!"
Benjamin saw Hulse snickering backstage at a glance and said indifferently, "It's okay, what he said is just the truth." ”
"The outdated world needs me to reinvent. ”
