Aurelian sat by the window with an instrument called a guitar and played softly... Her best friend Winna was lying on the edge of the window excitedly.
"Sister Aurelian! Look there... a magic machine like a horse."
Wen Na pointed to the bustling street below, where a magic car was driving slowly.
She was very glad that Joshua was not here now, otherwise Wenna's excited look would be said to have embarrassed the high elves.
"Wenna, are you not afraid of those humans now?"
Aurelian fiddled with the strings and glanced down at the street below.
She still underestimated the reproduction speed of human beings, looking at the whole street is full of human beings.
Most of the high elves are afraid of humans. Aurelian can still rely on her pride to hold on for a while. In Wenna's words, she threw this girl on the streets full of humans. Will be afraid to find a place to hide.
"A little bit, but I just think the scenery in front of me is beautiful." Wenna said softly, looking at the street in the distance.
In her eyes, Aurelian could see yearning and shocking emotions. Of course, what Wenna yearned for was not the life in the human world, but... the light ball floating over the city.
"The power of these beliefs is gathered in the center of Nolan."
Aurelian stared at Nolan's sky, even though she had been sitting here for almost two hours, she still didn't feel that the scenery in front of her was a little boring.
In the past, Aurelian heard stories from the elders about human beings. She always believed that human beings were a group of creatures without faith. Even if they believed in a certain god on the surface, many people would abandon them for their own benefit. lose your beliefs.
But after coming to Nolan, Aurelian found that he was wrong. Human beings are more than creatures without faith. They are simply pilgrims, martyrs, and the most faithful servants of gods depicted in ancient books.
But what surprised Aurelian the most was... the god they believed in turned out to be a world tree!
"Joshua Arnorrod, how on earth did he do it... Let humans worship the World Tree."
In addition to being surprised, Aurelian was envious of what she saw in front of her.
"It's a bit complicated to explain, but if you're interested, you can experience it for yourself right away."
Qiao Xiu quietly appeared at the door of the two elves' rooms, and their keen perception had already noticed the existence of Qiao Xiu.
"Can you do it right away?"
Aurelian came back to her senses, and found that Joshua was staring at the guitar in her hand.
"Are you familiar with the scores I gave you before?" Joshua asked.
Aurelian's slender fingers flicked on the strings a few times, and the next second Joshua heard the melody he was familiar with on Earth. This high elf girl was showing off her unparalleled talent in this way.
"I still can't believe you," said Aurelian, "but I can't deny that the songs you've given are wonderful."
"Looks like it's ready to go on stage."
Joshua had mentioned to Aurelian about going on stage before, and she was mentally prepared.
"I still have a question." Aurelian hesitated for a while with the guitar in his hand and suddenly asked, "Are humans really not going to do anything excessive to us?"
"Excessive thing?"
Joshua noticed that the eyes of the two high elf girls suddenly became very strange.
Aurelian bit her lower lip lightly, but she overcome her inner shame and said it.
"Elder Enya said that those humans would treat us as slaves and would hunt us down."
"You got this setting from that book... First of all, slaves are illegal in many countries in the world, and Nolan is among them... Besides, are you high elves really that weak?"
Joshua's last provocation succeeded in arousing Aurelian's fighting spirit.
"I've never been afraid of humans." Aurelian took the guitar and walked out of the room that Joshua had arranged for her.
…
Nolan's street.
"Is this kind of bard performance really okay?"
Ciri glanced at the venue that Qiao Xiu had chosen. This was a relatively prosperous commercial street in Nolan. At the end of the street, there was a wooden platform for speeches.
This wooden platform is the property of the Holy Land. Many years ago, those missionaries spoke their beliefs or condemned some unbelievers impassively on this wooden platform.
Now the churches in the Holy Land have been supervised by the Nolan Law Enforcement Team, and of course they don't dare to post flyers everywhere, and this wooden platform is of course abandoned.
"I actually wanted to record a record for them directly and sell it, but in this case... the accumulation of popularity is a little slow, so it needs a dramatic performance."
Joshua glanced at the group of people who were preparing behind the scenes. Apart from the several performers invited by Sir White Bud, the most notable ones were the two high elves.
"Are you both ready?" Joshua and Ciri came to the man in black and Aurelian together.
Aurelian had already changed into Nolan's popular mage-style robe, and judging by her tugging at the corners of her clothes from time to time, she was still not used to wearing this human clothes.
"I used to be a bard for a while." The man in black glanced at the pedestrians on the street outside. "But at that time I sang elven poems, which only attracted a small number of human beings to listen. What you gave me Can these two songs really... stop so many human beings?"
The man in black has a wealth of experience as a bard, and he also understands that it is not easy to do this business. Those pedestrians on the street will not stop for a stranger, even if they sing well.
"If you rely on songs, I think the possibility is very small..." Qiao Xiu shook his head regretfully, and gave a very unscripted answer to the man in black, "The two songs I gave you are used to keep people. , not to attract people.”
"I have confidence in the songs you gave me."
The man in black once again flipped through the sheet music of the two pieces that Qiao Xiu gave him. When he sang them for the first time, even without the accompaniment, he felt a kind of shock from the soul.
"The comments are put aside in advance. When the time is up, you should come to the stage." Qiao Xiu pointed to the wooden platform in the distance and said.
The man in black walked directly onto the wooden platform without saying a word. As a sage who had experienced hundreds of battles, he was used to this situation. Instead, Aurelian hesitated for a while, but in Qiao Xiu's While watching, she still gritted her teeth and walked onto the stage.
"Why do I think this group of high elves have anthropophobia?"
Ciri's eyes swept back and forth between Aurelian and Winna for a while, the high elf named Winna was already in a state of rigidity.
"Humans also had demon phobia before, and this needs time to ease." Joshua said.
"There have been quite a few performances of this kind of minstrel recently, and I always think they will overturn."
Since the launch of the magic net and Tailin's concert, more and more people in Nolan have turned their dreams into music.
Sir Bai Jinghua is the most sensible in this regard. Qiao Xiu heard that young people often visit his music guild in order to find an opportunity to become famous overnight.
This also allowed Sir Bai Jinghua to find a lot of qualified seedlings, which is also the development that Qiao Xiu hopes to see.
"I have a cheat code this time."
"An effect of 'who is your father?' in Warcraft?" Ciri asked in a low voice.
"You'll find out later."
While Joshua was talking with Ciri, the performance on the wooden stage had officially started. This was the first time this temporary band was getting in touch. The result was not as good as expected, but not as bad as expected.
The man in black served as the lead singer, and the first song they sang was not a song written by Joshua, but an elf poem that the elves were proficient in.
With the sound of Aurelian's guitar, the man in black began to tell an ancient story.
This sage's singing skills, Qiao Xiu, really have nothing to say, and it is still the kind that he has practiced. His voice is gentle and full of vitality. It is a pity that the people who sing Nolan have heard too many songs.
