Chapter 194: The Court Musician
"Brother Xu, how sure are you about this selection?"
A sea tribe dressed in a gorgeous robe, with a big head covered with black and yellow tiger stripes, and a petite body like a deformed child, spat bubbles in his mouth, and said to a slender and tall figure in front of him.
The figure turned his head, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs and a snake core that kept retracting, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "About three or four percent!" Although the odds are not high, you must always try, after all, the treatment of the palace is notoriously good! ”
The slender and tall figure is none other than Xu Mu, who has incarnated as the Black Water Snake Clan.
As for the voice, it was not that he intended to pretend to be deep, but after fusing the bloodline of the Black Water Snake, his voice became like this.
As for why the bloodline of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark was discarded and the bloodline of the Black Water Snake was fused again, the reason was very simple, it was to not attract people's attention.
The Black Water Snake belongs to the middle and upper sea clans, not only is the number of races huge, but also extremely scattered, and he who incarnates the Black Water Snake will not attract much attention when he appears anywhere.
But the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark is different, it belongs to the royal family, and if it appears anywhere, it will attract a large group of eyes.
It was too difficult to use the identity of the Silver Shark to blend into the royal family, so he spent a lot of effort and replaced it with the bloodline of the Xuan Snake.
The sea tribe he talked to was named Tang Lin, who belonged to the tiger head fish family, and was also one of the common sea tribes in the sea, and was one of the friends Xu Mu had known in the imperial capital over the years.
Not long ago, I heard that the royal family was recruiting, so the two made an appointment to come over and sign up.
"Yes, the royal family has a deep heritage, as long as you can join, not only will you be well treated, but you can also have the right to permanent settlement in the imperial capital! And most importantly, no more military service at the front! ”
The last sentence, Tang Lin said very quietly, for fear that others would hear it.
The reason is also very simple, if he is heard and reported, he is likely to suffer a meal of flesh and skin.
The Sea Clan is different from the Human Race, there is no sect here, only a state, and there are strict imperial laws.
Anyone who violates the law will be punished.
Tang Lin's words are already a disapproval decree, and it will be troublesome if he is caught.
The main reason why the Sea Clan and the Human Race have not stopped and can maintain unity for a long time is because of the bloodline.
In the Sea Clan, the bloodline is respected, and the strong bloodline can easily become the strong, and the weak bloodline will have limited achievements even if they die of exhaustion.
The reason why the Imperial Family was able to rule the entire Sea Clan for thousands of years was because they possessed the bloodline of the True Spirit Kunpeng.
Relying on the true spirit bloodline, a large number of strong people were born, suppressing hundreds of millions of sea clans, so that they had no room for resistance at all.
In the face of the laws of the empire, even the Sea Clan in the foundation building period can only obey honestly, and there is no room for resistance.
Military service is to join the army, go to the front line to fight with other alien races, the mortality rate is extremely high, if it is not for the oppression of the empire, no sea tribe is willing to go.
"yes!"
Xu Mu just replied and didn't continue the topic, he didn't want to ask for trouble.
The two gossiped and followed the group slowly, and were gathered together after the registration was completed.
"Those who participated in the selection of the musician's house are here!"
A sea tribe in a blue robe with sarcoma on his face stood in front of the crowd and shouted.
"Brother Tang, I'll go over first."
Xu Mu arched his hand towards Tang Lin beside him.
"Brother Xu, come on, I believe you will succeed." Tang Lin grinned.
"I also congratulate you in advance on joining the Imperial Dining Room." Xu Mu also smiled.
This time, the royal audition is not only for one department, in addition to the musician's mansion and the imperial dining room, there are also palace gate mansions, honor guard mansions, inner servants' mansions, medicine halls, dancing princesses' mansions, etc., which are basically used to serve the royal family.
To say that it sounds good is a position, and to say that it is unpleasant is to recruit people.
After Xu Mu and Tang Lin finished greeting each other, a group of people followed the blue-robed sarcoma sea clan, broke away from the crowd, and walked towards the palace.
Behind him, there were faint voices of managers from other departments.
"The people of the palace gate are coming to me!"
"This is the Honor Guard Mansion!"
"This is the selection of the Inner Palace attendants!"
"Imperial Dining Room!"
"Medicine Shou Palace!"
……
Following the blue-robed steward of the Musician's Palace, he walked all the way down the corridor, and at this time, Xu Mu had the kung fu to take a closer look at this magnificent palace.
Unlike human beings who use bricks, stones, plants and trees to build houses, the materials used in the Sea Clan Palace are all translucent crystals, which glow with a faint glimmer under the washing of the sea, and the surface is smooth and crystalline, which can reflect the shadow of people.
In the corner of the wall, there is a large amount of coral seaweed, which is colorful and looks extraordinary under the reflection of crystals.
In the air, there are some small fish that emit white light, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering, when they gather together, they are like a lantern, and when they are scattered, they are like a sky full of stars, which is very beautiful.
The scene in front of him reminded him of the Crystal Palace in his previous life, and in fact the two were not much different.
As Xu Mu walked, he carefully observed and memorized the surrounding situation, and a group of nearly 100 people dressed in layers of crystal palace-like buildings arrived in front of a compound with a plaque of the musician's mansion.
There is a light curtain formed by the formation around it, which is upside down like a large transparent bowl on hundreds of houses and buildings.
"Let's go inside!"
The blue-robed steward used the identity jade card to open a gap in the defensive formation and beckoned everyone to line up and walk in.
Xu Mu had just stepped into the courtyard, and before he had time to observe the surrounding situation, he heard a variety of pleasant rhythms, coming from the building behind.
There are drums, qins, flutes, pipas, flutes, dulcimers, guzhengs, harps, and so on.
Just listening to the sound, you can tell that everyone has a lot of attainments in music, and everyone who was originally a little relaxed suddenly became nervous, and there was a lot of pressure, and only a few extremely confident people did not change their faces.
Xu Mu is one of them!
With a system, it is not too difficult for him to learn music, coupled with a variety of music scores in his previous life, he is confident that there are few people in the world who can compare with him.
Without this confidence, he would not have chosen to infiltrate the palace as a musician.
As for why he infiltrated the palace, the purpose was very simple, in order to contact the members of the royal family, find out the location of the imperial tomb, and how to enter the imperial tomb.
Blocking out the sound of those musical instruments, Xu Mu began to look at the surrounding environment.
The area of the yard is close to a radius of 500 steps, the square is very spacious, can easily accommodate hundreds of people, the yard is also surrounded by corals and aquatic plants, in the center of the yard there is a cluster of huge colored corals more than one person high, those glowing small fish swim around in the coral, it looks beautiful and unusual.
Located above the colored coral, on the steps near the inner corridor, five sea tribes with extraordinary breath stood with their hands in their hands, looking at the people who entered the courtyard.
Four of the five were dressed in blue robes, the same as the steward who had brought them, and one of the sea tribesmen, dressed in purple robes and with two whiskers at the corners of their mouths, stood in the middle of the four.
The blue-robed steward who brought them here bowed to the purple robe, and after seeing the other party nodding, he turned around and shouted to Xu Mu and the others:
"Now there are ten people in a column, and they will come forward in turn for assessment! People with Kagurain come first! ”
"Kagura-in? No way? So unlucky! ”
Hearing the words of the blue-robed steward, a group of people around Xu Mu immediately began to complain in a whisper.
Kagura-in?
Xu Mu's eyes flickered, and he turned his head to look at the corner of the courtyard, before they came in, there were already more than a dozen sea clans standing there, all wearing the same cyan uniform, with a conch pattern embroidered on their chests, which looked like they were from the same place.
After coming to the Imperial Capital of the Sea Clan for so many years, he had naturally heard of Kagurain, which was simply an academy dedicated to training musicians, and it was said that eighty percent of the musicians in the court were from Kagurain.
Many of Kagurain's teachers are retired court musicians, and some serving court musicians often go there to teach students.
It can be said that Kagurain is a youth academy for court musicians.
The two have a lot to do with each other, and the chances of admission are far higher than those of these wild musicians, so it's no wonder that the people around them complain.
Originally, there were not many places admitted, and now they have to compete with professional colleges, which is difficult to imagine.
When the line was lined up and the people of Kagurain stepped forward to play, the people below were even more mournful, and the gap between the two was not ordinarily obvious.
Someone's face had already shown a look of giving up, and Xu Mu stood in the middle of the line, silent.
