The next day, Eric is woken up by a violent knock on the door. Listening to the movement at the door, Eric immediately threw all the things he had harvested yesterday into the basement.

Then he opened the door with a blanket, and saw several people standing outside the door, saints, soldiers, and knights of the Sanctuary.

"Why is the door open so late?" the saint asked.

"Dio, why are these saints so young and so good-tempered!" Eric felt a little amused.

But he said, "Last night the church was checking for heretics, and I couldn't sleep at once after being woken up, and I didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn. I'm sorry, I slept a little dead. ”

"Forget it, take off the blanket and your pants. "A sanctuary knight ordered.

Eric took the blanket away as the man commanded, then took off his pants and asked, "Do you want to take off your bottoms?"

"Poof", a female saint covered her mouth and laughed, "Then you don't have to, you are such a strange person." ”

When the male saint saw the female saint smile, his face became a little unsightly. So he took the scepter and struck Eric hard, and said, "Do whatever you want, where there are so many strange words!"

"Nima's, the little finches haven't grown their hair yet, and they'll be jealous. "Eric really wanted to slap this kid on the back of the head.

The soldier had a piece of paper in his hand, and he looked at it for a while, and then on Eric, here and there. Finally, the soldier said to the Templar of the Sanctuary: "No. ”

The Templar nodded, pointed to the three hideous scars on Eric's left chest and asked, "What kind of wound is this?"

Eric shrugged his shoulders and said, "I once went hunting with an adventurer and ran into a saber-toothed tiger, and that's it. ”

"Haha, your kid's luck is really good, he actually came back alive. Alright, you guys go in and check it out. The Knight of the Sanctuary laughed twice and then said to the soldier.

Eventually, after checking on Eric's house, a few people went to harass other people's homes again.

"It's an idiot to build a house in such a remote place, it would be fun if a wild beast escaped from the Cloud Forest. ”

"yes, but the house is huge. ”

Eric stood behind the door, listening to a few people discussing him, but didn't hear anything useful. However, the actions of these people still made him sweat secretly: he didn't expect the speed of the church to be so fast, and it was a carpet inspection.

Glancing at his side, Eric was glad that he had healed his injuries yesterday, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain, the people of the church have always acted rather than kill the wrong ones.

Eric decides to put his plans to forge weapons on hold and go to the Bard Academy first.

Armed with a saxophone and sheet music, Eric arrived in Laika City on Ivanov's meat-delivery wagon.

Along the way, Ivanov put on a defensive posture and sat between Eric and Angelina.

"Good luck passing the test!" said Angelina, beckoning to Eric.

"Thank you!" Eric replied to Angelina with a smile.

"Hmph!" Ivanov whipped his horse, and suddenly drove past Eric in a carriage, if it weren't for Eric's fast flash, he would have eaten a gray face.

Eric, who came to the Bard Academy, revealed his identity at the door and explained that it was Dean Santos who had called him to participate in the assessment, and the gatekeeper let him in to report.

Soon, Eric saw Santos come out to greet him in person with a few people, Eric hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Santos and said, "Dear Dean Santos, I didn't expect you to come out in person, it really makes me feel a great honor." ”

Santos waved his hand and said indifferently: "It should be me who feels honored, your song "Coming Home" made me want to go back to my hometown to have a look, there are many things and people there are worth remembering." ”

Santos then introduced to the group behind him, "Here, everyone, this is Eric Vincent, the owner of Homecoming, who has been studying music from the bard in the tavern. ”

With a humble look, Eric greeted a few people behind Santos, which made everyone feel good about Eric, thinking that he was really a polite young man.

But there was also a person who didn't look very friendly and said in a tone of reproach: "Eric, you really wrote this song "Come Home"? Be honest, I really can't imagine that a person of your age can write such a depressive and sad song. ”

When Santos heard this, he frowned and said to the man, "Pat, what do you mean by that? Have you heard this tune from anywhere else?" ”

Pat replied, "I have not heard of it, but I think how could such an expensive instrument as the saxophone, a man who worked as a servant in a noble manor, have access to it? ”

"Dear Mr. Pat, the saxophone was given by an old bard, and he said at the time that I had a gift for the saxophone. Eric's expression was still very humble.

Seeing what Pat wanted to say, Santos directly interrupted the other party and said, "Needless to say, there will be an assessment anyway, Eric, do you have any other works?" ”

Eric smiled and said, "It just so happens that I wrote a play myself, and I also wrote a saxophone for the story." ”

Santos' eyes lit up, and he nodded happily and said, "After the assessment, show me first." ”

Eric, who followed Santos, thought about what the assessment would be. When he came to a luxurious hall, he saw nine people standing at a round table in the middle of the hall.

"They are also the ones who take the test. A man whispered to Eric.

"Alright, now that everyone is ready, the assessment can start immediately!" Santos motioned for Eric to sit down with the nine men.

Then, Eric was given a test paper, and he looked at the questions on the test paper with a confident smile on his face.

When the assessment began, Santos informed everyone that they only had half an hour to do the questions.

The hall smelled pindropping, and everyone involved in the test looked a little nervous, except for Eric.

The Pat looked at Eric and the man next to him with disdain and said, "How can a man who has even been a slave know fine music." ”

Santos gave Pat a displeased look, he knew why Pat targeted Eric, the tenth person to take the test was Pat's nephew, but he was knocked out by Eric.

Sadly, when Pat told the lord about this, the lord expressed his support for Santos' decision.

The assessment content of the test paper is nothing more than some basic knowledge of music such as music reading and beat strokes, and for Eric, who had been prepared for this assessment, he handed in the paper before half an hour had passed.

At this moment, everyone present looked at Eric in surprise.

Santos was the first to pick up Eric's test paper and look at it, and soon Santos handed it to the others with a smile.

Half an hour later, Santos corrected the test papers on the spot, and only three people, including Eric, passed the test.

"Don't be disappointed if you don't pass the exam, you have to understand that it's not enough for a true bard to know how to play, it's also very important to have a good knowledge of music, you still need to learn. ”

Afterwards, Santos said to the three people who passed the exam: "You have to take one last exam, and if you pass, you will be able to become a member of the Bard Academy." ”

Eric was taken to a small room in the middle of the hall, and then several people came in to distinguish his timbre, model singing simple melodies, multi-tone model singing, chord listening, chord breakdown, memoration of rhythms, and so on.

In this final assessment, Eric was sweating profusely, and he couldn't resist a little: "Nima, isn't it just for the identity of a scholar? As for this test? After all, Lao Tzu is still a music blind!"

There is no way, it is very easy to let Eric take the written test, and if you really want to open your mouth, you can only be tired of coping.

The one named Pat, in particular, has a lot of problems.

Fortunately, when Eric was a little overwhelmed, half an hour passed. Eric felt physically and mentally tired, more tired than fighting someone else.

Yesterday's injuries are nothing compared to now.

"Yes, your reviews are perfect. It just so happens that there is a performance in the concert hall today, where you can play one of your best songs. Santos announced that all three people who participated in the assessment had passed and received a perfect evaluation.

Anyone who gets a perfect review can stay in a luxurious room at any of the bards' colleges, ** for good food. Of course, the premise is that you contribute a piece to the Bard Academy.

"Come with me, show your energy, maybe from today onwards, your reputation will spread among the upper circles. ”

Santos led the three of them to the Haven of Tranquility Opera House at the Bard Academy.

The seaside opera house is not only a temple of art and culture in Laika City, but also the soul of Laika City.

Early in the morning, at dusk or under the stars, whether on foot or out on the sea, the Tranquility Harbour Opera House is ready to show people a variety of charming styles.

From a distance, the Tranquility Harbour Opera House looks like a sea eagle with wings ready to fly, flying into the blue sky with everyone's musical dreams. From a closer distance, it looks like a wave rising against the wind, rushing towards the sea.

The opera house is divided into three parts: the opera hall, the concert hall and the adal restaurant.

Behind the scenes of the concert hall, Eric saw a lot of great people sitting in the audience, including Matthew Levis, the lord of Laika City, sitting on it, and next to him was a lively and lovely girl, and next to the girl sat Sophia.

Santos took the stage and introduced the Eric trio, saying that they were the most talented musicians in recent years. Except for Eric's expression, the other two had excited expressions.
