Half an hour ago, the Central Observation Room of the Organizing Committee of the Event.

"The modifier has gone up?"

The eldest cousin sat in a chair behind the big screen, staring up at the large pile of data in front of him that no one except professionals could not even understand wool: "Doesn't sound like a good thing." ”

"Although it seems that there is not much change now, only about one percent, the problem is that this one percent is not clear and completely outside the range of our predictions. ”

The data expert of Tomorrow News is a middle-aged man with a rigid expression, and his tone of voice is unfluctuating: "The reasons may be varied, it may be just a simple butterfly effect, or it may not be so simple. ”

"Can't you follow up and make changes in time?"

"Yes, but it's troublesome. ”

The expert's tone was calm: "Besides, this is not something we should be concerned about. Mr. Zhu, you have to understand that Tomorrow News, as a neutral organization, should not have been involved in the affairs between the Dongxia lineage and the Yingzhou lineage. To this extent, we are already at our limit. ”

"It's the first time I've heard you say such a disciplined thing, and it really scares me. The eldest cousin glanced at them with some surprise, "Anyway, we don't have enough money to recharge, right?"

The expert did not speak.

The eldest cousin asked again: "Can we give double?"

The expert coughed embarrassedly, as if he had moved, but then he saw the eldest cousin shaking his head: "Double is too expensive, forget it, we can't afford it...... Let's do it. ”

As he spoke, he leaned back on the sofa gracefully and left the expert's renewal reminder behind him.

"Aren't you worried about where that one percent variable comes from?" the expert asked, "and if left unchecked, the situation could deteriorate rapidly." ”

"Of course I'm worried, but isn't this a game?"

The eldest cousin asked rhetorically: "Where is there a game that is guaranteed to win and never lose, you always have to give the opponent a chance to turn the tables, right?"

“...... It's the first time I've known you're so competitive. ”

Rao is expert is serious, and his expression couldn't help twitching: he has been hanging so much, and he is still shouting that he wants to fight fairly with his opponent...... The thickness of the face of the large spectrum is really unusual.

"The spirit of competition is not to be said, but there is some spirit of gamblers. ”

The eldest cousin took one last look at the screen and retracted his gaze: "Change is change, since everyone has already bought and left, then don't do any trouble, wait for the gambling cup to be revealed." ”

"Not afraid of capsizing?"

"There is no ship in the first place, where is there any ship to capsize?"

The eldest cousin shook his head nonchalantly: "The big wave is coming, each depends on his ability, the big wave is over, let's see who is swimming naked." ”

That's the end of the topic.

Only on the screen, the one-hundredth correction value climbed rapidly.

In the unknown corner of Yamatai, changes are quietly brewing.

.

.

Half an hour later.

In the spotless living room, the aroma of black tea rises from the cup.

"I see, luthier?"

The skeleton listened to Huai Shi's words and slowly bowed his head.

It's just a skeleton with no expression, but its expression makes people feel full of loss: "I thought you were going to have a concert, it's a pity." ”

"Ahem, it's not a secret...... I can only play the cello, so I can't play much in concerts, right?"

Huai Shi shrugged helplessly: "And my piano is still broken." ”

"Well, as for the piano, the museum has some collections, and they are all tasks entrusted by the association. But after so many years, I've been in the storage room, and no one has come to collect it, probably because I forgot it. ”

The skeleton pondered for a moment before suggesting, "With your status, it's not a problem to go in and pick two, and there are many treasures among them." Besides, according to you, the instrument you use is nothing more than a mortal thing, is it not worthy of your noble status as a Calamity Musician......"

"Although I don't think this identity is noble, but Qin still doesn't change it. ”

Huai Shi hesitated for a long time and scratched her head: "Up to now, there have actually been many opportunities to change the piano, but every time I think about it seriously, I will give up in the end...... How to say it, everyone has been with each other for so many years, and suddenly they are replaced, and there is a feeling of abandonment. ”

The skeleton was silent for a long time, and sighed softly: "Your Excellency is a long-term person. ”

As he spoke, he propped up his chair and slowly got up, his joints kept rattling and rattling, and he staggered forward: "Please follow me, I remember the medium left by a craftsman when he passed by forty years ago, let me see where it is......"

The space in the art museum is unexpectedly large, it seems that it used to be quite a prosperous place, but unfortunately I don't know how long it has been vacant, even if it is spotless and clean, but when you walk inside, it feels empty.

Only footsteps echoed.

Against the backdrop of the constant roar and noise in the distance, it feels more and more deserted.

"It's so hilarious. ”

Huai Shi stared at a pillar of fire rising from the clouds outside the window, slowly shook her head, retracted her gaze, continued to follow behind the skeleton, and asked casually, "How long have you been working here?"

"Forget, it's like I've been here since the concert hall was built. The skeleton replied hoarsely, "Even if it's a long time, it's just a waste of time, and it's not a credit worth saying." ”

It opened the door of the warehouse, motioned for Huai Shi to wait, and then walked in, and it didn't take long for it to carefully come out with a box in his hand and deliver it to Huai Shi.

Inside the box was a velvet cloth wrapped in a tiny object, and when Huai Shi opened it, she saw a valve-like ring-shaped piece of iron, the size of a palm, with a smile engraved on it, which seemed to be the symbol of the luthier.

"How does this work?"

"Today, Yamatai is inaccessible, so it can't be used for the time being. ”

The skeleton explained, "When you go to the present realm, or at some open border, find a random pipe, change the valve to this, twist it three times, and the master will receive the message, and then rush to it as fast as he can." ”

"Is it so convenient?"

Huai Shi was overjoyed, "It's still door-to-door service?"

"Since the master's whereabouts are uncertain all year round, in order to make it easier for customers to find him, he simply opened such a service. Speaking of this, the skeleton was a little speechless and stopped: "But the master is slightly ......."

"Can't talk?"

Huai Shi instantly thought of all kinds of rumors of masters with strange tempers, and waved his hand and said: "Master, it doesn't matter if you have a bigger temper, as long as you have the ability, I can understand it." ”

The skeleton coughed dryly twice, and explained awkwardly: "No, that master is actually quite talkative, and he treats people like a spring breeze, and his skills are excellent, and there has never been any mistakes under his hands......"

Huai Shi wondered, "Isn't that better?"

"It's just expensive. ”

The skeleton glanced at him and added earnestly, "It's very expensive." ”

“......”

Huai Shidi's expression twitched, and the hand holding the valve trembled slightly, holding a glimmer of expectation: "How expensive?"

Skeleton thought for a moment, "It is said that whether the job is accepted or not, he will charge a door-to-door fee for one ounce of essentia crystals. ”

Huai Shi gasped and almost didn't stand still.

What the fuck is this, the next door, you have to charge me more than a million? And the maintenance cost has to be calculated separately?

According to the calculation of 2.1 ounces of essentia for an adult, wouldn't this master have to pay half a life for door-to-door maintenance? If this is an ordinary customer, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for the master to come to the door for the third time in this life......

"But the master often has discounts, so you can try it out in winter or summer. "It's expensive, but it's always worth the price, and the end result won't disappoint you." ”

Whether it works out or not, this is the way to go.

Huai Shi thought about it, put away the token with great dignity, and thanked the skeleton.

Originally, he was ready to run empty, but he didn't expect the people here to be so easy to talk to, so he directly rewarded the task, and even omitted the process of running the task in the middle.

"No thanks. ”

The skeleton shook his head, "This is one of the services that the association provides to its members, and it is also my duty. It's a pity that Yamatai is only a small place, and other larger guilds will have craftsmen stationed there, so there is no need for such trouble. ”

"That being said, I don't really have a sense of belonging to the Hell Music Association, and the Calamity Musician certificate is a bit inexplicable......

Besides, there's no such thing as taking advantage of things and not giving anything in this world, right?"

Huai Shi thought for a moment and asked seriously: "Do you need help with anything?" Don't look at me like this, in fact, I can still fight, as long as it's not a particularly difficult thing, I can usually handle it."

“......”

The skeleton seemed stunned, staring at him in bewilderment, as if it had never heard anyone say this to it.

After thinking for a long time, he seemed to have mustered up his courage, and the two ghost fires in his eyes jumped up expectantly: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking you to play a song for me?"

"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"When I started serving the Society, the Society promised that when this job was over, a Calamity Musician would come and bring me a good night's sleep. The skeleton sighed helplessly, "It's just that it's been too long, Mr. Huaishi." Although the association has made arrangements for my next step, I feel that I can't do it anymore...... If so, could you please let me go?"

“......”

Huai Shi was silent for a long time and scratched her head: "Although I don't understand what's going on, if you want this, I won't refuse." But how, exactly, do you do that?"

"You just have to do what a calamity musician should do. ”

The skeleton bent down gratefully, took out a letter from the inner pocket of the gown with both hands, and offered it with both hands: "This is the notice and permission given by the association when I report it to the association. If you're willing to do it for me, that's great. ”

Huai Shi took it suspiciously, and saw a dismissal document, as well as a stack of rather ancient manuscripts under the paperwork.

The paper has been yellowed, and there are still many traces of modification, but the line notation and symbols on it are still clear. As if it had incredible magic, after reading the first two paragraphs, Huai Shi felt that many music theory insights were much clearer, and many new ideas and insights emerged from my heart.

XP UP!

The skills of [cello playing], which originally entered LV12, have grown a little?

He noticed the anomaly, flipped directly to the back, and when he saw the signature at the end of the checkout, he couldn't help but jump out of the corner of his eyes: "Johann Sebastian Bach......"

Oh yes, Bach's manuscript!
