Section 1362 Performing arts

A thin cloud of mist swept down the streets.

Accompanied by melodious music, a sense of tranquility and comfort rises in the hearts of those who pass through Mangshi Magic Street.

Ingres, like everyone else, watched silently at the man playing the saxophone on the edge of the fountain.

It was a young man in a black tuxedo, his hair slightly long and curly, and his own body swaying gently in rhythm as the music played.

The young man was so immersed in the music he played that it seemed to block out all information from the outside world, and he was the only one left in the world.

The rhythm of the notes is more and more free and uninhibited. It's like the aura of the performer, the chic of the wandering skeleton.

"He was definitely a brilliant musician before. Leon sighed in a low voice, although he did not have the talent to play music, but as a nobleman with a knighthood, he was actually no worse than Ingres in terms of musical literacy.

Leon's exclamation was not echoed by Angels and Nausicaa.

Nausicaa laughed silently, for she knew what the man playing the music really was, not a musician, not even a human.

Ingres didn't respond because his attention was drawn away by something else.

Just as the young man was playing the music to a climax, he felt his chest move. Ingres's attention was instantly withdrawn from the music, and he was fully focused on his chest, because—

Toby, sleeping quietly in his breast pocket.

Angel watched Toby closely, but to his regret, Toby didn't move since. If it weren't for the extraordinary sensory memory of his senses, Ingres might even have thought that what had happened before was an illusion.

Toby did move, I don't know if it was because of the music, or if it was something else?

As Ingres pondered, the music stopped.

No matter how beautiful the music is, there is an end, and this ten-minute performance makes all the listeners hearty.

Undoubtedly, the talent of this young man is recognized by all. Including Leon, he even wanted to step forward and make friends with young people who played the saxophone.

When Leon couldn't help but yearn for it, he suddenly found that the audience around him who had been listening quietly before had dispersed. Moreover, all of them walked away from the young man with extremely fast steps, as if they were afraid of getting involved in something.

Leon was a little puzzled, shouldn't he have stepped forward to cheer for this young man's performance? Why did they all run away?

The next second, Leon got the answer.

I saw that the music artist, who had looked chic and uninhibited before, slowly took out a basin from behind him, and then put the basin in front of a nearby person with a smile on his face.

The meaning is obvious, this is clearly begging for money.

The man's expression was regretful, as if he regretted that he didn't leave in the first place.

When the young man kept shaking the basin, he still sighed and took out a small piece of the divided magic crystal and put it into the basin.

Then without hesitation, he turned around and walked away quickly.

"This ...... Is it a street performer?" Leon was dumbfounded, this kind of palace-level musician has been reduced to a street performer in the transcendent world?

The young man grinned toothy after begging for a small piece of magic crystal. He turned his head to find his next target, but when he turned around, he realized that there was no one around him.

Centered on the fountain where he was standing, there was no one within a radius of ten meters.

"Hey, hey, as for it, run so fast. The young man frowned and muttered, "If it weren't for the Rising Star Competition, who would run out and deceive...... Ahem, play. ”

The young man's words made everyone around the shop shake their heads.

A few days ago, some people knew that he was going to participate in the Rising Star Competition, thinking that he could make friends with a good talent, so he just paid a little money. As a result, they went to watch the Nova game carefully, and this guy didn't play at all.

Obviously, when he said that he was participating in the Nova Competition, he was sugar-coating his begging.

For those who give, the icing is not sugar, but poop.

The young man sighed in place for a long time, and when he saw that he really couldn't find anyone to ask for money, he could only put away the saxophone with a sad face and said in a low voice: "It seems that I will move my nest next time." ”

The others couldn't help but feel refreshed when they saw the gray appearance of the young man, this guy relied on playing the saxophone, and how many magic crystals he had blackmailed during this time, and they were also greedy to see it. This time, no one was fooled, looking at the decay of the youth, not to mention how enjoyable.

When the onlookers were secretly shouting, a middle-aged man who looked a little sloppy suddenly came to the young man.

The young man was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with joy, and the basin that had just been put into the package came out again, looking like a scoundrel.

Seeing this scene, someone couldn't help but shout: "Hey, you hurry up, this guy is blackmailing." ”

However, the middle-aged man didn't pay attention to it, but looked at the basin dangling in front of him and slowly stretched out his hand.

A crystal clear magic crystal emerged from his palm and rolled down into the basin with a crisp sound.

"It's actually a complete magic crystal?" Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but shake their heads, even if they had money, they wouldn't be so wasteful.

However, what surprised them was yet to come.

The sound of tinkling, constantly coming from the basin, is like a beautiful musical scale, resonating in symphony at this moment.

One, two...... Ten......

A stream of brains, at least more than twenty magic crystals, fell into the basin.

The basin, which had never been full in the past, is now not only full, but also piled up with a sharp corner.

In the sunlight, the edges and corners of the magic crystal shimmered with rainbow light.

This made the onlookers who saw this scene instantly red-eyed. The joy of seeing the decay of youth before was also eliminated at this time, and only a thick jealousy remained.

Not only outsiders, but even the young people themselves were a little surprised.

"This, you seem to be a little ......"

Halfway through the young man's words, he forcibly choked back the last "more", and it was rare to encounter a wronged leader, but he couldn't just be so yellow.

"It's thirty crystals, and if you play one more song, and it's the same as before, I'll give you another thirty crystals. The middle-aged man, that is, Angels, looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be somewhat familiar, and said slowly.

The young man swallowed his saliva, and as long as he played one more song, he could double it?

As a principled scholar, his rule was to set up a stall every three days and play only one song at a time. In this case, it will not attract the attention of the law enforcement team.

"My rule is to just play one song. The young man paused, and then said, "However, since I have met my soulmate, it doesn't hurt to play one more song." ”

What are the principles? Can you eat them as a meal?

What are the rules? Aren't the rules listed just for people to break?

The young man instantly knelt down under the charm of the magic crystal, picked up the saxophone again, and in the jealous eyes of the people around him, he changed himself from a scoundrel who asked for money to a chic artist again.

The music sounded melodiously.

Ingres seemed to be listening, but all his attention was in his pocket.

At this time, in a gloomy alley on Mangshi Mocai Street, hundreds of meters away, a teenager-like person was leaning against the mottled wall, looking at the magazine in his hand by the faint light of the wall-hung gas street lamp.

When he heard the music play, the boy suddenly looked up in confusion.

Through the wall lamp, you can clearly see the young man's face, which is the Serum that Ingres and they came to look for this time.

"Hey, why did the Black Book play it again?" said Sylum frowned, and although he had been immersed in the magazine, he had also lost a trace of his thoughts. Not long ago, Heidian played a song, and now this is his second time.

Heidian is a very principled book spirit, why would he break his own principles?

Could it be that what happened to the black codex?

Sailum suddenly became worried, at first Heidian said that he would come out to 'show his performance', but he was against it, because he was worried that it would anger the law enforcement team, and it was very scary to be punished for setting up a stall without a license. But Blackbook assured himself that he would be in good measure, and Serum agreed to do so.

After several stalls in a row, the black code did not go wrong, and they did not attract the law enforcement team, so Sailum was relieved.

However, now that the black code has broken the usual rules, there must be a reason why it is not simple.

Sailum was a little worried, and after thinking about it again and again, he put away the "Hotaru Night Talk" magazine that he had read over and over again, and then walked quickly out of the alley, towards the source of the music.

When Sylum came to the vicinity of the fountain, he found a middle-aged man standing in front of Heidian from a distance.

Serum wondered what was the origin of this man, could it be the reason for the second performance of the Black Codex?At that moment, he felt a tap on the shoulder.

......

As soon as the song was played, Ingres's eyes were filled with disappointment.

Ingres also thought that the concert attracted Toby's feelings, after all, Toby's biggest hobby, in addition to beautiful clothes, is music.

However, after the same piece was played, it did not cause Toby to move.

Perhaps, it was really just an accident before.

Angel handed the magic crystal he had promised to the young man. This scene made the people around him blush, although the people who came to Mangshi Demon Cai Street basically had some savings, but the magic crystal was not blown by the wind, and they couldn't give a stranger sixty magic crystals as soon as they made a move.

After Angel gave the magic crystal, he looked at the young man who was quickly packing up his things and preparing to retreat, and said, "You can play me another tune, preferably in a different style from before, it is still thirty magic crystals." ”

The young man paused and looked at Angel in surprise.

The others also looked at it with the expression of a fool, and one of them hurriedly took out a thing from his alchemy shop, and said to Ingres: "I have the latest version of the phantom sound box, although it is not refined by the music box warlock, but it contains Ingres's "Castle in the Sky", and "Alice", which was short-lived in the ancient auction. ”

"Don't ask him to play for you, come to my store, and I'll play you one by one. I don't want thirty magic crystals, it's enough to collect ten magic crystals for each song. ”
