The sound of the piano is long-lasting, sometimes melodious, sometimes high-pitched, with obvious rhythmic ups and downs.
It's like the prelude to a certain movement, and this young man's goal is very clear.
He ignored the other people outside the village and rode towards Zong Shen on his white horse.
Zong Shen simply turned around and faced the young man with interest.
Accompanied by the sound of the piano, the young man came to Zong Shen.
He showed a bright smile to Zong Shen.
The sound of the piano paused, and he easily turned over and dismounted. His right hand holding the bow waved half a circle in the air and placed it against his left chest.
In his right hand, he held the string instrument behind his back and bowed to Zong Shen.
Zong Shen nodded slightly to him as a greeting in return.
The young man stood up straight and started playing again. This time it was the real song.
The music began to become cheerful.
The young man's body also began to sway slightly.
He pulled the bow with a cheerful expression, and his body swayed rhythmically in tune with the sound of the piano.
Then he started singing with a smile on his face.
"People in a hurry,
Please stop."
You will hear the messenger of Chrylos, the god of flowers,
Confessions in loneliness and solitude.
At the moment of parting,
It will make the redbud flowers around you bloom beautifully.
Across the plains where lions sleep,
Travel through the demon-infested valley.
I am for every silent land,
Brought Krillos' blessing.
The people of Chenissa sang to me,
The pioneer's siren sounded for me.
…”
His singing was clear and thorough, like an oriole awakening in the morning light.
The surrounding villagers could not help but stop, with intoxicated expressions on their faces, and listened quietly.
Zong Shen looked at this young man and narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to check his attributes.
[Bard: England Hanover (Purple)]
[Qualification: Rare level]
[Level: lv27]
[Hunger and satiety: 36/100]
(A highly educated bard, born in a noble family, free-born, and a rare-level heroic talent)
Be good! You can meet a hero here, and he is a rare hero!
Zong Shen sighed a little in his heart, and at the same time, he also had the idea of wooing this bard.
However, young bards like this often receive a good education, and everything is just for the freedom of their hearts. It may be difficult to win over him.
He was thinking silently, and unconsciously became a little distracted.
The melody of the piano suddenly changed and a high note sounded, as if to remind Zong Shen not to lose his focus.
For a bard, it is obviously disrespectful to the bard if his audience is distracted during the performance.
Zong Shen came back to his senses, nodded to him apologetically, and then acted like he was listening attentively.
Only then did the bard named Ingram smile again.
A few minutes later, this long bardic poem came to an end with a low coda.
I have to say that he sang really well, as if he was narrating a travel story.
There was thunderous applause from all around, and all the villagers clapped.
Zong Shen and Vereesa and Luna beside him also began to applaud.
After the applause, England took out a long yellow striped cloth from his arms.
It was spread out on the ground, maintaining a bowed posture, and slowly turned around.
The surrounding villagers placed food such as hard bread, dried fish, and sausages on long cloths.
Some villagers also dropped dinars, which are common in mainland China, directly on top.
Most of them are in small denominations, and occasionally there is one of 5 dinars.
Zong Shen saw this scene in his eyes, stretched out his hand behind him, and suddenly there were ten more dinars in his hand.
He slowly bent his knees and placed the dinars next to the long cloth.
When the bard merchant saw the denominations of those dinars, his eyes towards Zong Shen became a little different.
Because the reward given by Zong Shen is the largest denomination among dinars, 100 dinars!
It looks much larger than those small denomination dinars.
A full ten coins are equivalent to 1,000 dinars, enough to buy a dragon-scaled steppe horse.
All the other villagers looked at Zong Shen with a hint of awe.
This is not a small amount of money. For an ordinary family, it can almost cover three to five years of household expenses.
Equivalent to 50 months’ salary of a baron’s maid!
The surrounding lords who were watching the excitement were very excited when they saw Zong Shen's move for 1,000 dinars.
They worked hard to sell animal skins and bones, and only earned one or two hundred dinars.
But the man in front of me would give rewards as high as 1,000 dinars to the aborigines.
They couldn't imagine how rich Zong Shen's net worth must be.
Some bold lords came closer, when they saw Zong Shen's name.
They all froze in place, and now Zong Shen's name was well known among the lords!
"Zong Shen, it's actually Zong Shen!"
"What? Is that Zong Shen who killed the regional challenge boss?"
"It should be him."
"Other than him at this stage, there is no other lord who can do such a big thing."
"I didn't expect the boss to be in the area near us!"
…
The surrounding lords immediately began to talk about it.
Although the discussion was very quiet, it was still captured by Zong Shen.
It's true that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
Although the information viewed by other lords is brief, external information such as name and number can still be easily viewed.
Zong Shen felt a little unhappy about this. It was normal for the lords to check each other's names.
But his name is too sensitive.
The previous five global banner messages had already made his name public.
"Is there any way to hide my name information?"
Zong Shen asked the guide prompt in his mind.
(Please enter a pseudonym you want for temporary replacement. You can use your mind to decide whether to display the real name information in other people's observation panels)
Sure enough, there is still a strategy.
Zong Shen thought for a moment and randomly chose a pseudonym.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ma Huateng 1988818"
(Pseudonyms have been replaced)
Seeing this golden subtitle, Zong Shen felt much relieved.
However, he still maintained the status of showing his real name.
After all, the lords nearby already knew about it, so there was no point in covering it up.
At this time, the villagers' rewards for the bard Ingram also ended.
England bowed politely and thanked him.
Soon the villagers gradually dispersed.
At this time, England turned around deliberately and saluted Zong Shen respectfully.
"Thank you for your generosity."
"I am England the Bard."
"I will sing and bless you."
"May you be healthy and live a long life."
Zong Shen's spending was generous, which was also a compliment to the bard.
They always earn enough food and dinars through their own efforts.
If they get too much dinars and food, they will give it to the refugees or other destitute people they meet during their travels.
Therefore England needs to express his gratitude to Zong Shen for his generosity.
Moreover, he had previously chosen Zong Shen as the opening act because he saw Zong Shen wearing battle armor and looking extraordinary.
This kind of small village is not like a large city or a huge city with many nobles.
They also need to select the right people to open the show.
Zong Shen also responded with appropriate courtesy to England's thanks.
"Hello, my name is Zong Shen."
"Your singing voice is really beautiful."
"This bard is also very heartwarming."
"By the way, I have a small request that I hope you can agree to."
Zong Shen said without hesitation of praise, and then changed the subject.
The bard England was in a great mood after hearing this. When he heard Zong Shen's request, he said it without thinking.
"What request?"
"Please tell me."
"As long as it doesn't violate my principles."
Zong Shen looked at the piano and said frankly.
"I want to see your piano."
After hearing this, Ingram happily handed the piano in his hand to Zong Shen.
"This Viele has been with me for ten years."
"It is a witness to my journey."
"Please be careful when holding it."
Zong Shen nodded, took the piano, put it in his hand and started playing with it.
This piano has a total of five strings, using gut strings.
The appearance is very simple, and the surface of the instrument is somewhat mottled, with traces of time.
Indeed, as England said, this piano has stayed with him for many years.
Zong Shen looked at it intently and discovered that this piano was actually a rare piece of equipment.
He played with it carefully and returned it to England.
"What a great piano."
"It's a pity that I have to embark on a journey."
“I don’t know when I will be able to hear your singing again.”
Zong Shen took off his war helmet and smiled at the bard England.
"Where are you going?"
"Maybe we can go together."
"If I am lucky enough to be able to travel with you, I think it will be a journey that is life-enlightening."
Zong Shen's performance made the bard England feel like he had found a confidant.
Plus his outfit and the accompanying Vereesa, Luna and that team of mighty Immortal Lancers.
All of this made Ingram preconceptionally think that Zong Shen must be a wandering nobleman with a heroic character.
This made him feel like he had found a soulmate.
All those who pursue freedom will be respected by him.
Good guy, Zong Shen didn't expect him to be so proactive.
Regardless of whether he is a bard or not, this guy is a rare-level heroic talent.
It's considered an amateur hero with relatively high qualifications.
Moreover, Zong Shen discovered that bard is not just an artistic profession.
It is an existence with independent skills and systems.
The nature of his skills tends to be combat auxiliary.
Ability to sing bards to boost morale and add positive benefits to teammates.
No matter from which angle you look at it, England is an out-and-out talent.
If he can really go together, there might be a chance to recruit him under his command.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen's face showed an expression of joy.
"We're going to Bosbon."
"It would be great if your Excellency could accompany us."
When he heard Zong Shen's destination, England's smile spread across his face.
"It's really a coincidence that I happened to come all the way from Bosbon."
"I want to continue heading west and travel and sing in the villages along the way."
"Finally traveled thousands of kilometers to reach the giant city of Lentax."
England said apologetically that Zong Shen's destination was exactly the opposite of his route.
Even if he wanted to go with Zong Shen, he couldn't go back.
Zong Shen was stunned when he heard what he said.
But he quickly came to his senses.
If this guy is going to go all the way west, won't he have to pass through Sitano Village or even his own territory?
There was a look of regret on his face.
"That's such a shame."
"But if you go west, you may pass by my territory."
"It is located more than 40 kilometers west of the village of Citano."
"I will return to my territory the day after tomorrow. Maybe you can come to my territory as a guest."
"You can use this to contact me, my communication number is 1."
Zong Shen extended the invitation enthusiastically and at the same time took out a communication crystal numbered 10 and handed it to England.
"I didn't expect you to be a lord."
"Please rest assured, I will definitely come to your territory as a guest."
England took the communication crystal and said very happily.
Those lords in the kingdom who have not been ennobled with titles are actually pioneers.
Zong Shen seemed to be about the same age as him, but his behavior made England admire him very much.
Bards advocate freedom, ideals, and unrestrainedness.
The other party actually opened up wasteland and became a lord by himself and established his own rules. For the bard, there is nothing more praiseworthy than this.
In the bard epic, there are countless young heroes who seem to have come this way.
Including the founding king of the Kingdom of Avalon, Arthur Pendragon, the same was true back then.
At this time, England felt that it was too late to meet Zong Shen.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he quickly came to Zong Shen's side.
"I almost forgot something big!"
"I am going to the giant city of Lentax this time to attend the banquet that will be held in more than a month!"
"Henry, Marquess of Lancaster, will hold a grand banquet."
"At that time, the lords of several giant cities around Lentatus will come with their families to attend the meeting."
"The lords of relatively large cities within their jurisdiction will also go to the appointment."
"In addition, young talents and young nobles from all walks of life will gather together."
"The giant city of Lentatus has not held a large-scale banquet for five years. This is a rare opportunity."
The bard England said in his ear, looking a little excited.
"oh?"
"Large banquet?"
After Zong Shen heard the news, he became very excited.
"I'm very interested in this party."
"But I don't have any title, and I've never been invited."
After hearing Zong Shen's words, England patted his back which was covered by armor.
"Dear Zong Shen, don't worry about this problem."
"According to the custom of the kingdom's banquet, three days before the banquet starts."
"A grand competition will be held for the young people who come from afar!"
