Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 36 What do you two want to do in the middle of the night?

The trip continues. If there are no surprises, tomorrow the caravan will arrive at the Ripple River Shoal.

- Is it a deception trap, or a normal trade.

Everything will be revealed tomorrow.

It seems that because the Morey Woodland is inhabited by elves, the seven-day journey seems to be exceptionally good. There is no trace of orcs, and there is no sign of the little green-skinned monster of "Oak Oak". There were no bandits scurrying out of the woods, and no mischievous goblins. In addition to the wagons that sink into the dirt pit from time to time, there are all kinds of bugs that will burrow into the sleeping bag...... Nothing bad else happened.

The first half of the night tonight was Fang Qiuling and Shino's vigil. After a not-so-good dinner, Fang Qiuling and Sino sat down by the campfire.

The moon gradually rises. The blue waning moon in late autumn looks especially beautiful under the starry sky. The surroundings are peaceful. After a long day of trekking, most of the people in the caravan were still tired enough, and they fell asleep not long after eating.

In recent days, most of the people in the caravan have felt that their sleep quality has improved significantly, and they are in better spirits in the morning. I don't know if it's an added bonus from someone practicing their bard skills every day......

Fang Qiuling put down the harp in his arms, picked up the paper plate on the side, scooped up a spoonful of red ice cream and put it in his mouth.

The sweetness of the ice cream mixed with the slight acidity of the strawberries gradually fills the mouth, and then falls into the stomach with the mellow aroma of cream.

Immediately to the left side of his body, Shino has lost his hood and is holding a paper tray with two white ice cream balls on it. Shino carefully held the paper plate, and the vertical ears above his head twitched from time to time. She stared intently at the ice cream in front of her, her eyes full of wonder.

- It turns out that snow can be so delicious!

Stretching out his little tongue and licking it lightly on the ice cream ball, the cold touch immediately made Shino's eyes narrow, and his small body shrank slightly. Wait for the sweetness and softness of the cream to fade away, and then take a small bite......

The simple ice cream ball made Sino eat with a full sense of happiness, which made Fang Qiuling feel slightly funny, but also a little melancholy.

The living materials in this world are very rich, and since childhood, let alone hungry, parents will always put the best dishes on the table into their children's bowls. Not to mention ordinary ice cream balls, even if it is gold leaf ice cream, parents are willing to pay for it! But in Elune, the lack of supplies means that a large number of people die of hunger every year. Needless to say, Shino, who grew up in the ice and snow, and Eliza, who grew up in a hilly area, also had the experience of being hungry.

Two scoops of ice cream aren't much. Shino quickly wiped them all out. After eating the ice cream, the happiness on Shino's face couldn't be hidden, and he was like a little transparent person with a straight face.

With a slight movement in his heart, Fang Qiuling's gaze involuntarily drifted to the side, staring at the branches that seemed to be trembling slightly not far away. Shino instantly turned back into a small transparent with an expressionless face, and quietly disappeared.

At night, the forest is dark, and if you get some distance away from the campfire, it will be so dark that you can't see your fingers. The cold moonlight illuminated the treetops, but they were also obscured by the treetops.

There are two figures on the branches. However, Fang Qiuling did not see it through his eyes, but perceived it in his spirit.

The movements of the two figures were light, and the footsteps that landed on the treetops did not make the slightest sound. It wasn't so much that Fang Qiuling had discovered them, it was better that they had taken the initiative to release magic fluctuations and inform them of their arrival.

"Shino, don't be nervous. They are not enemies. ”

Shino's upbringing meant that she was used to making the first move. The creatures that inhabit the endless glaciers are not harmless cuties, they are used to hiding under the snow and ice, and launching surprise attacks when their prey approaches. So Sino is also accustomed to dealing with threats as soon as possible.

Fang Qiuling's words made Shino, who had already escaped into the shadows, pause slightly. But instead of returning to her seat, she hid in the shadows.

"You may be seated."

Fang Qiuling didn't get up, but just made an inviting gesture to the position beside him.

The two figures fell together and quietly appeared by the campfire.

They are all elves. One was dressed in an emerald green robe, on which the robe was outlined with one gorgeous pattern after another with the pattern of thorn vines; The other was wearing a leather trench coat similar to Fang Qiuling's, and wore a wide-brimmed hat with a golden feather pinned to it.

It was as if a gust of wind was blowing, and the treetops not far away swayed up and down, and it took a while to subside. It should have been a few more elves who landed on it, but whether it was direct gaze or spiritual perception, Fang Qiuling couldn't "see" them.

- Are you elves so free? In the middle of the night, what are you crazy about?

"May I ask ......" as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a lingua franca, but Fang Qiuling immediately changed his position to Elven language, [Elven language], "What are the two of you doing here?" ”

Elven "You're Thurik V. Norn?" ”

The robed elf spoke. The voice is crisp and clearly for women.

Elven Language: "Yes, I am Thurik V. Norn. Who are the two of you? ”

[Elven language] "I'm the village chief of Morey, just call me Kallan." ”

The elf who called himself Callan nodded slightly, and then sat down beside Fang Qiuling. The other beside her didn't answer, and sat down by the campfire across Kallan.

The two elves sat down, but after sitting down, they didn't speak, but instead stayed on the harp beside Fang Qiuling with interest.

Fang Qiuling immediately understood most of their origins. Without them having to speak again, Fang Qiuling took the initiative to send the harp to the two of them.

The harp was selected by Xiao Hanyun and imported from Ireland. Compared to Elune's native harp, this harp has slightly fewer strings and is smaller in size, making it extremely compact. It's not ingenious, but it's charming. The surface of the harp is smooth, and it feels great in the hand. The wood seems to be light and thin, but it is full of two in the arms. In particular, a few seemingly inconspicuous small details on the body of the piano have a surprising sense of comfort in the hand. The eyes of the two elves who have never touched industrial products shine.

Reach out and pluck the strings gently, and the crisp sound of the piano immediately sounds. The excellent timbre made the eyes of the two elves shine.

I tried the sound, and I watched the harp several times. During this period, the two elves did not speak, but from time to time they "flirted with each other".

The eyes are able to convey emotions and express meaning. Fang Qiuling does not deny this. Not enough, he always felt that the meaning that could be expressed through the eyes was limited, and it was a relatively simple meaning. The description of "look at my face and act" and "understand with one look" in the story is mostly funny or exaggerated.

But now that he had seen the performance of these two elves, Fang Qiuling felt that he had another cognition overturned.

Such beautiful eyes, such big eyes, such radiant eyes - it's a pity not to drop eye drops!

It took a while for the two elves to return the harp to Fang Qiuling. The harp was returned, but they did not speak, but watched at the same time with two pairs of beautiful big eyes.

- What are you trying to do?

Fang Qiuling suddenly shuddered.

Whether it's ugly or beautiful, being stared at will always make you feel uncomfortable. Professionally trained actors and singers can overcome this, but Fang Qiuling is not an actor or a singer. He'll feel hairy.

- Staring.

Expressing meaning with eyes requires tacit understanding. If the tacit understanding is not enough, then the misinterpretation is normal.

Being stared at by two pairs of eyes for a while, Maomao's feeling gradually passed, and Fang Qiuling quickly understood what the two of them meant.

- One, one, one.

knew that it was impossible for the two drama spirits in the middle of the night to come here to play without nothing. The practice of the past few nights has not been concealed, and it should have fallen into the ears of the elves who monitored the caravan. After hearing this, the elf didn't know what to say back to the village, and now he lured out the bigwigs behind the scenes in the village.

The village chief, Karlan, with pointed ears and a pretty face, looked like a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. However, her emerald green robe was not for a minor girl. The neckline of the robe is painted with two light green patterns, the pattern is made of ivy, mixed with the pattern of thorn vine and is inconspicuous. However, these two ivy patterns indicate that the village elder is an elven elemental envoy who has mastered the second level of power, and can bind the four elements to serve him. It is a strong person who has stepped into the silver rank.

The one next to the village chief was also a woman, and she looked slightly older than the village chief. A petite face is mostly hidden under a wide-brimmed hat, and its eyes are large and bright. The fitted leather trench coat shows off the beautiful figure to the fullest, while the wide cloak covers up the beautiful scene. She wears a variety of accessories, but the most striking thing is the golden feather on her wide-brimmed hat – a symbol of her status as a singer. The Singer is an advanced class for the Bard, and the prerequisite for in-game employment is Silver Peak!

The two "listeners" look young and beautiful, but their actual age is ...... It's impossible to estimate at all. Elves reach adulthood at the age of one hundred and twenty, and their lifespan is generally between seven hundred and eight hundred years old. The elves' appearance remained largely unchanged as they reached adulthood until the day when their souls returned to the kingdom of God. Therefore, judging the age of an elf cannot be guessed from appearance, but from temperament. But now the two drama spirits have an innocent face, commonly known as pretending to be tender......

- Forget it, don't guess. If you guess correctly, you won't be rewarded with candy.

And the appearance of this singer also made Fang Qiuling have some guesses.

Singers can travel to every corner of Elune, and the probability of meeting them is not much higher than winning the 10 million jackpot. If nothing else, the arrival of the singer in front of him is deliberate. The booklet in the hand of the unknown package should also be from her.

If you receive benefits from others, then you must also reciprocate. What's more, it's just asking to play a song, which isn't too much, right?

But what's the best thing to play......

Under the expectant eyes of two pairs, a familiar piano piece soon came to my heart - "To Alice". But...... The original repertoire was a piano piece, and the only instrument at hand was the harp, can you play it well?

Gently plucking the strings, try to find the first piece of music that is soft but represents the basic theme of the whole piece. The sound of the harp is light, simple and intimate, as if it depicts a gentle, beautiful woman, and as if there are kind words about to speak to her. It's as if the two of them were talking intimately.

At first, I was a little rusty, and I tried to play the music while drawing the music in my head. From slightly unfamiliar to familiar, it didn't take long for Fang Qiuling to grasp the main points of playing "To Alice" on the harp. Emotions are gradually added to the music, as if the whispers of the veins are transformed into pleasant conversations, and the music is smooth, cheerful and gorgeous.

The playing became more and more proficient, and the emotions that I wanted to express in my heart were also unconsciously integrated into the sound of the piano. As the music gradually turns to a climax, the sound of the piano seems to be infused with irrepressible enthusiasm, and the enthusiasm burns like a flame. It seems to be the heartbeat of the protagonist in the music, and it is like a fiery love, sincere and firm. It was as if I could hear the warm confession of the protagonist, see the deep and powerful eyes, and feel the unwavering will.

The melody progresses from slow to fast, and the chords drive the progress of the music, as if the girl happily accepted the confession, full of gorgeous colors, showing the happiness of the two hearts.

Finally, the music becomes soft again, like a pair of lovers holding hands and looking at each other, frozen in the music that gradually diffuses.

At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers. For a moment, all that remained in the camp was the crackling sound of a campfire.

The emotions and throbbing from his heart kept coming to his heart, making Fang Qiuling a little dazed for a while.

Emotions are the purest passions, the promises made inadvertently in childhood, the scenery inadvertently seen in travel, and the inadvertent expectations of life in growth. The throbbing comes from the feeling again and again, the joy of solving mathematical problems, the affirmation of salary increase and promotion, and the comfort of taking a bath and relaxing after fatigue.

Little by little, I felt the emotions and throbbing in my heart. Unconsciously summed up, Fang Qiuling suddenly felt that the door of the world suddenly opened in front of him, and the skills that he originally knew only half of became clear in an instant.

- Music is not only played for others to listen to, but also for one's own inner expression. Only by looking directly at your heart and being firm in your pursuit can you truly have the qualifications to embrace the whole world.

The silver-white fighting qi surged out from his body, turning into a pillar of light that rose to the sky and disappeared in a flash.

Elven "Congratulations, Mr. Norn. You have broken out of your own confines and become a true bard. It was the singer next to the village elder who spoke, she took off her broad-brimmed hat and nodded slightly, "I hope you will continue to work hard and become a member of the singers as soon as possible." ”

The village lord Callan also showed a bright smile [Elven language]: "Mr. Norn, it's really a surprise. I thought there was a bard who passed by occasionally, but I didn't expect Mr. Norn's musical attainments to be so good. I have to say, I was blown away by Mr. Norn's performance. ”
