Sky Machine City is as prosperous as ever.
In the most crowded commercial area, in the center of the crowd, a melodious music suddenly sounded. The tune is soothing and elegant, making it tempting to slow down and listen carefully.
The noisy street became a little quiet because of this piece of music.
Because the music was too melodious, everyone couldn't help chasing the source of the sound.
I saw that in the middle of the crowd of people, on the edge of a three-story elegant fountain, there was a young man with long and curly hair, with his eyes closed, a saxophone in his hand, and he was playing without distractions.
The image of youth is scattered, unrestrained, and unrestrained.
Coupled with his elegant music, people can't help but explore the story behind this unruly prodigal son.
After the song ended, everyone had not heard enough, and they all wanted the youth to play another song. However, the young man's actions made everyone a little dumbfounded.
He lazily took out a basin from the package behind him, and then put the basin in front of the person nearby with a smile, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
begging for money.
The person who was begged twitched the corners of his mouth and cursed in an unfortunate way. Seeing the people around him looking at him, he was too embarrassed to give anything. He could only touch his nose and endure the heartache. The magic crystal was lost to the young prodigal son.
And this begging young man was not satisfied, holding a pot in front of the people around him, begging one by one.
The people who were provoked were angry, but the young man was very thick-skinned and said with a smile: "Because I want to participate in the Rising Star Competition, I have no more money on my body, so I can only ask everyone for help."
Hearing that this young man is going to participate in the Rising Stars Competition, everyone's expressions softened a little. After all, those who dare to participate in the Rising Stars Competition should not be weak.
It's not bad to have some relationships with the players participating in the Rising Stars.
Passers-by with this kind of thinking paid some money in the face of youth begging. It doesn't matter that everyone gives a small amount, but if you do the math carefully, it adds up to a lot.
At this time, in the higher sky and flowing clouds, two people wearing the clothes of the law enforcement team silently watched the scene below.
One of the weaker apprentices frowned and said in a tone of indignation or jealousy: "Captain, shall we stop him? !"
The law enforcement captain in charge of the business district is generally an official wizard. He looked at the angry team members and said, "It's okay, he's measured."
"Proportion? What do you mean?" The law enforcement team members wondered.
"This guy only comes every three days, plays a piece of music every time, and leaves after playing. It won't cause any major impact or cause traffic jams, so we don't have an excuse to stop him," the law enforcement captain explained. .
After the law enforcement team heard it, they were even more dissatisfied. Listening to the captain's tone, it is obvious that this young man has been doing this for a long time. If he can earn so many magic crystals every time, it will make people very uncomfortable to watch!
But since the captain let him go, as an ordinary player, he could only bear it.
"You have to rely on acting to make a living. I guess he won't be able to get a good ranking in the Rising Stars." The law enforcement team couldn't help but muttered.
After hearing this, the law enforcement captain burst into laughter: "He said he was competing, do you believe it?"
"what?"
The law enforcement captain shook his head and said, "This guy is not an ordinary person, he is a spirit. The real contestant is the person behind him."
The unruly youth discussed by the law enforcement team, as they said, after playing a song and begging for a lap of money, he disappeared into the crowd with his gorgeous saxophone.
The young man took three steps and took two steps, and soon came to the door of a narrow alley in the business district.
Although this alley is located in a busy city, the entrance of the alley is full of unknown experimental garbage and emits a billowing stench, so not many people walk in it.
The young man didn't care about the stench, and stepped into the alley directly. After walking for a long time, he saw a young man leaning against the mottled wall, holding a book in his hand by the weak light of the gas street lamp hanging on the wall. Seriously, eyes filled with fascination.
"My dear master, don't you like Heidian anymore?" The young man pretended to be hurt.
The boy who was reading a book slowly raised his head with a confused look on his face.
"Your favorite black scripture, has been back for two minutes now. You didn't look at me, but at this broken book." The young man picked up the saxophone and pointed to the book in the boy's hand, "So, Don't you like black scriptures?"
After the young man who called himself "Black Dian" finished speaking, his figure suddenly changed, becoming a plump and enchanting woman with a smoking gun in his hand: "Or does the master prefer this image?"
The young man said angrily: "Don't make trouble for the black script, hurry up and change it back!"
Although Heidian really wanted to continue teasing his little master, he also knew where the bottom line was, and he could still accept it now. If he continued, he would probably have a blushing face and a thick neck.
Hei Dian transformed himself into an elegant middle-aged man wearing a black embroidered gold-patterned trench coat.
"Master, this is what I got today. Although they are all cut magic crystals, they should add up to more than 10 complete magic crystals." Hei Dian took out a bag of magic crystals from his clothes pocket.
Surprise flashed in the boy's eyes: "Sure enough, the people in the Sky Machine City are very rich, and they can even beg for 10 magic crystals, which is much more than I used to work for a month!"
After the boy took over the magic crystals, he took out three magic crystals and handed them to Heidian: "Help me go to the bookstore to buy another copy of "Yingdu Night Whisper". You can use the rest of the money yourself."
The magic book looked at the book in the boy's hand suspiciously: "Didn't you already buy it in the morning, why do you still want to buy it?"
The boy spread out the cover of the magazine, pointed at the characters that the painter had decorated with brushes, and said, "Did you see it? This is Angel, my best friend! He is the first time he is the cover character of "Yingdu Night" , I naturally want to buy an extra copy for collection."
Heidian also knew about Angel, and he had seen Angel before before he became a spirit. It can be said that Angel and Nausicaa belong to the same important position in the master's heart.
Looking at the characters on the magazine cover, this was the first time Heidian saw Angel's appearance after he became a spirit.
Handsome, young and full of youthful determination.
"Why did Angel appear on the cover of "Yingdu Night Whisper"?" Heidian asked curiously.
"Because he has done something big." The young man said proudly, as if he was talking about himself: "I didn't expect that Angel would have such a bumpy and bizarre experience. I really want to see him and ask. The situation at that time. What was the Lord of Ice Valley like? Where did the source of fire go? And…”
As soon as he spoke, his mouth was chattering.
"I don't know, will he come to the Rising Stars Tournament? Probably not. His current strength should not be enough to participate in the Rising Stars Tournament... Alas, it seems that we can only see him after the competition and return to the Savage Cave."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the main topic: "By the way, hurry up and buy a copy of "Yingdu Night Whisper" for me. If it is later, it will be bad if it is not sold."
Heidian nodded helplessly and walked out of the alley.
At this time, the light in the alley illuminated the joy in the boy's eyes. In the changing light and shadow, this person can be seen, it is Sairum who came to the Sky Mechanic City to participate in the Nova Tournament.
…
In the country of Yirong, near the edge of the North Sea, there is a city called Palladova.
The city is divided into a new city and a deserted city. The architecture of the new city is very unified with the style of Yi Rongguo, with reinforced concrete and steam machinery everywhere. The sky was grey and covered with industrial waste.
The deserted city is actually a deserted urban area, separated from the new city by a river.
The architectural style of the barren city is the style of the Yirong Kingdom in the past, a Byzantine architecture full of religious sense. Although there are similar buildings in the new city today, there are various steam machines around, and it seems that there is a lack of religious flavor.
The deserted cities are basically deserted, and only a few homeless people and some poor people live here.
The tall, domed buildings are unmaintained and littered with debris, giving a sense of apocalyptic ruins after a religious city was destroyed.
At this time, the sun just set, and the moon and stars woke up. The thin night light gradually drove out the afterglow of the sunset and invaded the earth.
In the deserted city, on top of a church once used for religious worship, a young wizard apprentice sat cross-legged.
This is a witch in a blue and black wizard costume. The costume looks very outdated. The only bright spots in the whole person are the bright red dancing shoes and bright red bows.
There is a broom floating around her. The style of the broom is very interesting. There is also a curved design at the handle, and a portable oil lamp with a black frame and transparent glass on all sides hangs on the curved side.
The light brought by the oil lamp allows the witch to send letters smoothly.
This letter was sent by her mentor, and the first sentence at the beginning was the numb "Dear Qi Li", which made her shudder.
After finishing the letter quickly, 99% of the content is about the feelings of longing, and the remaining 1% is not a serious topic. There is only one sentence: "With the letter, there should be this magazine. You can take a look, for sure. It will surprise you."
Although Qi Li scolded Kantor as being impolite, she seriously folded the letter in half and put it into the satchel at her waist.
After doing all this, Qi Li whispered softly, "Luna, is there a magazine that came with the letter?"
After a slight "meow" sound, a young black cat suddenly ran out of the dark barren city. Despite its small size, its movements were very sensitive. Using various landing points, he quickly jumped to Qi Li's side.
After the little black cat landed, it rubbed against Qi Li's feet, and then took out a magazine that was twice the size of its face from the bell on its neck.
"The Night Whisper of the Firefly City? How could the instructor let me read this kind of gossip... Hey, isn't that him?" Qi Li looked at the book cover suspiciously
Why does the character on the cover look more and more like Angel
Originally, Qi Li didn't want to read a gossip magazine like "Yingdu Night Whisper", but she turned the page out of curiosity at this time.
