Chapter 66: The Music Box
Six months later, the Lord's Mansion of Blackstone City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Meng Fan sits in a room with a black piano and a young musician playing Meng Fan's favorite piano piece "Dream Wedding" composed by the famous pianist Richard Clayderman.
The rhythm of fast and slow, the undulating tone, the piano piece "Dream Wedding" is very layered, and if you listen to this piece carefully, you will be unconsciously brought into a beautiful dreamland.
Behind Meng Fan stood the dark mage Mar Saha, even Mar Saha was attracted by this beautiful piano music, and there was a strange light in Mar Saha's blood-red eyes.
When the last note fell, the young musician Schubert stood up and saluted.
"Do you need me to play another piece for you, Lord Claude?" asked Schubert, "no, Schubert, you have played five pieces in a row, go down and rest, for playing the piano is very physically demanding." Meng Fan said with a smile.
"Yes, Lord Claude. Schubert respectfully bowed to the lord sitting in the chair, who was also his piano teacher, Lord Claude.
"Schubert played so well that I couldn't help but want to play this piano. Meng Fan looked at his right hand, which had two fingers missing, and sighed.
The dark mage behind him, Mar Saha, looked at Meng Fan's raised right hand, "Lord Claude, if you want to listen to the music, you can call Schubert over at any time." Marzahar let out a hoarse laugh.
"Alas, I always let Schubert play for me alone, a little..." Meng Fan put down his right hand, "What does it matter, Lord Claude, Schubert is the musician in your house, you are his lord, and he is his music instructor, so it is natural for him to play the piano music for you." Mar Sahar said.
"If only there were tape recorders on this continent. Meng Fan leaned back in his chair and whispered, "Lord Claude, what are you talking about?" asked Mar Saha behind him.
"Oh, no... nothing. Meng Fan hurriedly waved his hand, "Mar Saha, is there a music box in the Gilgia Kingdom?" Meng Fan turned his head and asked, "Music box?" Mar Saha showed a puzzled look.
"It's the kind of locket that can make a sound with a simple mechanical operation. Meng Fan gestured with his hand and said, "No, Lord Claude, I have never heard of this kind of small box that can make sounds. Marzaha shook his head.
The music box is a simple mechanical product made of small accessories such as sound cylinders and soundboards, and with the production process on the Qinglan Continent, it should be able to be made, Meng Fan thought in his heart.
"Lord Claude, the music box you just said can make its own music?" asked Marsahar as he approached Meng Fan. "Yes, as long as it is wound up, the music box can play a complete piano piece. Meng Fan replied.
"Play a piano piece in its entirety!" Marsaha's blood-red eyes widened, "Master Claude, do you know how music boxes are made?" Marzaha asked.
"You know, when I was younger, I had several music boxes, and I took them all apart and studied them carefully. Meng Fan said with a smile.
Meng Fan raised his head after speaking, and found that there was a look of joy on Mar Saha's face, "Mar Saha, what do you think?" Meng Fan looked at the black-robed man in front of him puzzled.
"Mistress Claude, I just came up with a brilliant idea to make money. Marzaha let out a hoarse laugh, "Ideas for making money?" Meng Fan motioned to Mar Sahar and continued.
"Mistress Claude, we can make a music box that can play piano music as you just mentioned, and I think this kind of magical thing will definitely be enthusiastically sought after by the people. Marzahar said, looking at the lord in his chair.
After listening to Mar Saha's words, Meng Fan's eyes also lit up, "Mar Saha, will this kind of music box be loved by the people?" Meng Fan couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Absolutely, Mistress Claude, I don't think anyone will fall in love with this wonderful little bget if you put these piano pieces you have composed into a music box. There was no doubt about confidence in Mar Saha's tone.
"To Alice", "Moonlight", "Nocturne", "Dream Wedding" are all masterpieces of music masters on the earth, and these piano pieces created by Meng Fan on the Qinglan Continent can be called the most beautiful music on the Qinglan Continent.
Five hundred years ago, the piano made by Master Flosa was the most difficult instrument to play on the Qinglan Continent, at least after several years of hard training on the basic skills, in order to accurately play a piano piece, without an excellent musician, it is impossible to hear beautiful piano music, plus the piano is an expensive musical instrument on the Qinglan Continent, only very wealthy people can own a piano on the Qinglan Continent, so there are very few people who are lucky enough to hear the piano music played in the Gilgian Kingdom,
"Mistress Claude, can you make a simple drawing of the music box?" asked Marzaha, "of course. Meng Fan picked up the paper and pen on the table and began to simply draw the design of the music box.
"Lord Claude. Soon after, Tiberius entered the room, and Tiberius saw Meng Fan, who was sitting at the table drawing a blueprint for a music box.
"Alright. Meng Fan picked up the drawings, and both Marzaha and Tiberius came up to look at them, "Lord Claude, what are you drawing?" Tiberius looked at the things on the paper in confusion.
"The design of the music box, this is just a rough drawing, the real design drawing should be accurate to the point that each soundboard can accurately play the predetermined tone・・・・・" Meng Fan told Tiberius about the role of the music box.
After carefully looking at the design drawings drawn by Meng Fan, "Lord Claude, the internal structure of this music box is too complicated, there are dozens of parts in a music box, and the most important thing is that these parts must be perfectly assembled in order to play the predetermined music, in the Kingdom of Gilgias, I am afraid that there are very few craftsmen who can have such craftsmanship." Tiberius spoke.
"Very rare?" Meng Fan looked at the brown-haired man in front of him, "Yes, not only are there very few craftsmen who can make music boxes, but it may also take time to make a music box like this, and it may take several months for a craftsman to make a music box." Tiberius continued.
After listening to Tiberius's words, Meng Fan was disappointed, if the music box is difficult to be produced, then it cannot be mass-produced, and if it cannot be mass-produced, it will not be able to make a lot of money.
"Master Claude, the process of making a music box is complicated, but we can still make it on a large scale. The dark mage on the side, Mar Saha, spoke.
