Chapter 3 Playing

"Brother Tang Yi..." As soon as he saw the boy appear, some of the children around him immediately ran over.

"Brother Tang Yi, my elder sister is so pitiful. Please help her, help her..."

"Yes, her father lost a lot of money by betting, and sold her..."

"Brother Tang Yi, what should I do, what should I do..."

"Brother Tang Yi, this is the pocket money I saved. Brother Tang Yi, please save my eldest sister..."

Shake and shake, Tang Yi's hand was pulled by several children and swinged like a swing, but finally understood what happened. Seeing that several children were helping Tang Yi, tears in Karin's eyes could not help but flow down. Several big men moved out of the house, and the person in the lead said, "Is there nothing left? There is nothing to do, little girl, come with us."

Perhaps thinking that Karin could not escape at all, the man's tone became a little gentle. However, as he watched him approach slowly, Karin suddenly screamed, and then ran back to the room after touching him a few times.

The man winked and asked the rest of them to guard the window behind the house. However, unexpectedly, Karin did not want to escape. After a while, she rushed to the door with a kitchen knife in her hands, her hair was already a little scattered and her face was covered with tears.

The man suddenly changed his face: "Little girl, don't do this, you don't have a chance."

"I think you are right, Karin, put the knife down." With a faint tone, Tang Yi sighed and walked over. Karin looked at him, her eyes softened, but her hands still grabbed the knife nervously and said tremblingly: "Brother Tang Yi, don't worry..."

"No one thought about paying attention to you, and I don't have the ability. You have always done a great job." Tang Yi said with a smile, gently pressing her violently trembling hands, which were as rough as a piece of kraft paper. Then, he took the kitchen knife down and turned around and said, "I think we can talk."

"Who are you?"

"Chinese." Tang Yi said a joke in Chinese, but then found that no one understood, "Ha, joking, I'm the children of them... Uh, music teacher."

"So it's a musician..." The big man's expression calmed down a little, "So, are you going to pay off this debt for her?"

"Of course, look, I still have the money that the child has raised for her." He spread his hands, then found that the man's face began to turn green, and he quickly said, "Of course, my money has not been added yet. How much does she owe you?"

The big man smiled and stretched out his two fingers: "Her father owed us twenty gold coins."

Hearing this number, everyone around him took a breath. Ordinary people saved money and could not use a gold coin a year. Twenty gold coins were undoubtedly a sky-high number for everyone. Furna, standing in the crowd, carefully observed Tang Yi's performance. Sure enough, he did not look surprised, but just touched his head with some confusion and murmured: "Well, it turns out that it is the money her father owes, what does it have to do with her..."

"Imperial Code..." said the great man, "Except for the nobles, the child is considered the private property of his parents before he becomes an adult. Her father owes money and cannot repay it, so she can naturally pay it off."

"Did no one ever think about changing such a bad code?"

"How dare you question the imperial decree? Do you want to rebel??"

"Wait, wait, joking." Tang Yi shook his hand quickly. In front of these people, he had no rude rights, so he could only accept it as they said. However, "But at this moment, I'm afraid there's not that much money on his body." He took out the purse at his waist, and then fell on the wooden pier where the children used for playing. In an instant, the colors of gold and silver flashed everyone's eyes, but most of them were silver coins and copper coins. It seemed that there were only two coins minted from pure gold.

Seeing the two gold coins, Furna suddenly shook. He heard the big man pick up the two sisters' strange-looking gold coins and look at them. Then he said furiously: "Where are the gold coins you are from? They are not imperial coins at all. Are you fooling us?"

If the power gold coins of the ancient magic empire were placed in a large auction hall, the value of these two gold coins would not be lower than that of two hundred imperial coins. He was indeed not a civilian... The information about these two gold coins came to his mind, and Furna made a judgment.

However, why did he take out these two precious coins? Is there any special intention?

"Ah? Not the Empire Coin?" The fact was a bit beyond Furna's expectations, because Tang Yi was also not sure of the value of these two gold coins. He grabbed his hair at this moment, feeling very troubled, "Then... can you give me some time? I'll go back to get it..."

Seeing him in embarrassment, Karin suddenly took the kitchen knife that was placed aside by Tang Yi and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Tang Yi, you... don't have to make things difficult for me, I... don't care about it..."

"I won't care about you if I say it. Put the knife down and don't hurt people. Now I'm talking to them about business, don't move the goods." Tang Yi's voice was soft and firm, but Karin shook her head this time, and refused to put the knife down no matter what she said. The big man obviously didn't want to entangle with the two of them anymore, and waved his hand vigorously.

"Stop talking nonsense, catch people!"

Several subordinates rushed forward, but when they saw Tang Yi standing in front of Karin, they pulled out the sword hanging around their waists. At this moment, they heard a bombardment coming from the ground beside Tang Yi, and then a black shadow was pulled out.

"Clang..." A few sounds, the weapons in the hands of several people were knocked away by the black shadow coefficient. When they looked closely, they were a long vine dancing and swaying in the sunlight. Between the crowd, a tall blonde woman stretched out her hand straight, and her simple floral white dress perfectly highlighted her perfect figure. At this moment, there was a majestic and noble and inviolable momentum in her eyes. But it was Furna who finally took action.

"Demon, magician..."

Several big men turned around and looked at her with a little fear. Theoretically, at such a close distance, the magician's deterrence to the warriors was much less, but just that moment, it had already shown the strength gap between the two sides. The big man in the lead unconsciously secreted sweat from his forehead. Furna silently withdrew his hand, and then the vine also "brushed" and retracted the ground, leaving only a burst pit.

Silent magic has a considerable load for the mage, but this is just a small magic. It is not difficult for Furna, who is at the level of level 6, but at this moment she couldn't help feeling a little nervous because the handsome young man was curiously casting a surprised look behind the wall of humans composed of several big men.

"Ah, magician, is he really the legendary magician..." He jumped behind the man a few times, then found a suitable observation position, staring at her intently, with a big expression of worship. That look seemed to say: Ah, it turns out that the magician looks like this!

Although there are not many magicians these days, they are not particularly rare professions, or there is no chance to see a magician in such a remote town. Furna thought to herself that this young man was so vigilant that he could not forget to maintain his identity as the "son of a hunter who grew up in the mountains" at this time. On the surface, he did not show any emotional fluctuations, but just took out his close family emblem and said, "I am Furna, the natural mage; Wall, who sent you?"

The emblem with the image of the Demon Wolf cannot be ignored in its status in the entire empire. Several great men immediately showed a look of awe, and the man in charge was sweating profusely on his forehead: "It turned out... it turned out that it was the lady of the Wall family, the villain... the villain was just here to collect the accounts..."

Try not to pay attention to the expression of the handsome boy, Furna said calmly: "Don't lie in front of me. In what kind of gambling game, will you lend a civilian twenty gold coins? If you refuse to say it, I will check it yourself?"

The Wall family has a great power. If this force is really involved, there will be no good things in some small things. The leader of the man who led the army realized this and immediately knelt on the ground: "Actually... we were actually ordered by Viscount Bucks to do this. Viscount Bucks came here last time..."

As soon as this was said, someone in the crowd immediately said, "Oh, it turned out to be that viscount. When I came here last year, I said I would marry Karin and be a concubine. At that time, I wanted to use force, but the one that was stopped by Viscountess Sophia..."

The truth was revealed immediately. Tang Yi admired the white-dressed magician for a moment, and only heard her say, "So that's the case. Go back and tell your master, I've interfered in this matter. If any inconvenience is caused, I'll apologize on behalf of the Wall's family. Viscount Bacchus's style is noble, and I have heard of it among the nobles of the Danma. I believe that this matter is just that you, the servants, are indifferent to the severity of the master's reputation. I'm not convenient to punish you. Go back and ask for punishment from the master. As for this little girl, please bring the IOU and write a contract. From now on, she will not belong to her father, but to the Wall's family. Do you understand?"

It was at this point, and it was their turn to "not understand". He took out the IOU as she said and made a contract. In fact, Furna was also a little shocked. When she was in Damma, she didn't think that the family was powerful, but she didn't expect that such a remote place would have such a great shock. When everything was done, she handed over the contract to Karin.

"Come on, from today on, you belong to yourself..."

Seeing Karin looking at her at a loss, she smiled: "This is not for you in vain. The Wall family also supports some orchestras. Since you are receiving Mr. Tang's teachings, you may be able to become a performer in the future. You have to give priority to joining our family."

She was unwilling to arouse Karin's mood that she had sold herself, so saying "priority" means she still has room for choice. Tang Yi pushed her shoulder behind her back: "Is it okay to thank her?"

When civilians saw the nobles, they were mostly restrained. After Tang Yi’s reminder, she remembered the politeness and hurriedly thanked him. Tang Yi also smiled and said, “Thank you so much just now, Miss Wall.”

"Nothing." Furna replied with a smile, trying to say something, but a voice penetrated.

"Mr. Tang, you finally come here. Furna, have you met Mr. Tang? Then I don't need to introduce it." The one who came to her was Mrs. Sophia in casual clothes. "Do you mind leaving for a cup of tea? I'm so embarrassed. The piano you helped to adjust last time seemed to have a bit of a wrong sound."

The sound is wrong? No, I just played it yesterday, it's great... Furna was confused. When she turned to look at her aunt, she realized that she had also looked over, her eyes blinking playfully.

******************************************************************

The piano was actually broken by the Viscountess himself, of course it was just a small problem. Tang Yi fiddled with it and adjusted it. During this period, Furna kept watching his repair method in surprise, and was puzzled in her heart. What was the attitude of the aunt towards the boy? She was simply appreciating or being moved. Because logically, as a well-educated nobleman, she would not make such small moves to invite people. Of course, this is just a theoretical statement.

After repairing, Tang Yi tried the sound. Looking at the skillful technique, thinking of the words that my aunt praised, Furna couldn't help but want to listen to his performance immediately, but this was obviously inappropriate. The Viscountess asked someone to bring snacks and red wine, but what she prepared for Tang Yi was a cup of coffee. The three of them sat around a small table. Then the Viscountess asked about what had happened just now. As she spoke, Furna realized that Tang Yi didn't know how to drink.

A nobleman who can't drink alcohol is in trouble...

Maybe she was afraid of losing her soberness after drinking and told her secret... She guessed in her mind, and guessed in her heart what kind of changes she had experienced to make a person develop such a high sense of vigilance.

In fact, all of them are of course her preconceived ideas. It is just because of these ideas that Tang Yi has a mysterious and sad shell in her heart. The polite and beautiful boy, good conversation and upbringing, mysterious identity, vicissitudes of life and outstanding talent, is simply the protagonist who came out of many legendary novels. No wonder my aunt likes him... After thinking about it, she deliberately added this sentence to her evaluation. This is very important.

During the conversation between the three, Tang Yi expressed his admiration for Furna and curiosity about magic more than once. However, Furna naturally regarded it as a way for him to hide his identity. If she was usually angry at this artificial behavior, she only felt that he had another advantage - a cautious personality.

"But...if Ayi, you really want to thank Ferna, you might as well play a piano piece that you are good at for her. To be honest, she is quite fascinated by this." While the three of them talked, they quickly called each other's name directly, Ayi, Ferna, but naturally they were called the Viscountess alone as their wife and the Aunt. When Tang Yi expressed his gratitude for what happened just now, the Viscountess took the opportunity to make this request.

"Oh, really?" Tang Yi smiled and looked at Furna, and saw that her eyes were full of expectations. She stood up and walked to the piano. "Since that's the case, I'll thank you for the most. Although playing with piano alone cannot fully express the artistic conception, at present, I can only ask the two ladies to forgive... The following song is dedicated to the beautiful Furna; Miss Wall..."

He put his hand on his chest and performed a gentlemanly ceremony that Ferna didn't know. It was necessary when he participated in a performance, but later he became accustomed to it.

Furna sat upright on the chair, waiting for his performance with anticipation, but after a moment she realized that compared to her already eager expectations, what she had received was ten times and a hundred times that she had expected! The shock and touch came so great that only for the first time, her heart had lost and fell, and after that, she could never take it back...

Sitting down in front of the piano, the boy took a deep breath and then placed his finger on the keys.

“…Blue Danube.”
