Reggie liked Samantha's performance very much. He increased the reward by three hundred gold coins, allowing the Tianxing artist to stay in Zhilin City for three more days and expand the scope of the performance.
Samantha is different from other Tianxing artists. According to today's terms, she is a popular first-line star. In this era, there is absolutely no possibility for her to perform for ordinary people.
But she agreed to Reggie's request, and she agreed to perform for the common people in the central square of the city. Early the next morning, Reggie specially asked Ada to be called. With her talent, she might be able to learn Samantha's gorgeous singing skills.
Singing.
But when she saw the size of the square, Samantha regretted it.
"Lord, this square is bigger than I thought. In a place like this, not many people can hear my voice."
"Everyone can hear your voice," Reggie called Dorothy over and said to Samantha, "Sing to this girl and she will convey your voice to everyone."
Dorothy looked at Reggie nervously. She did not have the courage to stand on the stage in the square and sing with Samantha.
"Dear Madam, if you need my help, I can stand in a corner where no one can see me. I can copy your voice, but I may not be able to sing every note accurately. I can't sing at all...
…”
I thought Samantha would be very surprised, but she didn't expect that she immediately recognized Dorothy's identity.
"You are a mountain demon, right?"
Reggie looked at Samantha in surprise: "You, how do you know?"
"There are many mountains in my hometown, and there are also many mountain monsters. The mountain monsters and people there are friends," Samantha stroked Dorothy's cheek and smiled, "What a handsome girl, singing like a mountain monster."
With your talent, you can learn every tune I sing."
Chris smiled and said: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get on stage. Do you know how lucky you are to be able to sing with the number one actress in Tianxing Kingdom?"
Samantha looked at Reggie: "Lord, I have heard of your reputation, and I know that you are very tolerant of heterogeneous people, but do you really dare to let this girl perform on stage? Thousands or even tens of thousands of people can gather in this square.
Man, are you really not worried that your people will rebel against you because of this?"
"There's nothing to worry about," Reggie said with a smile, "My territory is the freest place in the world. If they can't learn even the most basic tolerance, they don't deserve to be my people."
"Okay, then let us witness it."
Samantha pulled Dorothy onto the stage. There were not many people in the square, but Dorothy's face turned green with fright.
"Take a deep breath, good girl," Samantha smiled, "and the show begins."
The drums sounded, the musicians played the bagpipes, and the onlookers became quiet. Reggie suddenly realized something. There was accompaniment for this singing, and the musicians would accompaniment according to Samantha's rhythm. If Dorothy
Repeating Samantha's singing will inevitably lead to a disjointed rhythm.
But it doesn't matter. How many people can understand the rhythm? As long as they hear Samantha's voice, everyone will fall in love with this angelic singer.
After a prelude, the singing began.
Reggie's prediction was correct. Samantha's singing was enough to shock everyone's heart. Even the roughest castle guards (thugs in special places) were melted by the singing.
But the strange thing is that there is no disconnect between the singing and the accompaniment. Is it Dorothy repeating Samantha's singing?
Reggie stared at the stage carefully for a long time. Samantha and Dorothy's mouth shapes were the same. Dorothy was not repeating Samantha's singing, but singing with Samantha.
Could it be that Dorothy could sing this song? But why could she copy Samantha's voice? Why was every note copied so accurately?
"Can Dorothy sing?" Reggie looked at Camilla beside him.
Camilla shook her head and said: "Occasionally she hums a few folk songs, but there is no way she can sing such a beautiful tune."
Ada said from the side: "Sir, listen carefully. There are two voices in this song, but their voices are too close, so it is not easy to distinguish."
Reggie listened carefully for a while. It was exactly what Ada said. It was the voices of two people. They were two people singing together. Dorothy was indeed imitating Samantha's singing, but there were still some changes in her tone.
.
Dorothy's performance was amazing, but Reggie noticed another question: why could Samantha's voice be heard so clearly? Could it be that she, like Dorothy, had the power to speak loudly?
Reggie looked at Camilla. Camilla knew what Reggie meant, but she remained silent because Tyr was behind her.
Ada also noticed that in addition to the abnormality, this honest girl said it directly: "Why does Samantha have such a loud voice? Is she also a mountain demon?"
Camilla glared at Ada, but Reggie didn't care too much. He believed that Tyr had learned to be tolerant and believed in the majesty of the law.
However, Tyre's reaction surprised everyone: "Don't talk nonsense, okay? This lady is not an alien. She has no smell on her body. Look at how beautiful she is. How could she be a mountain demon?"
There are a lot of discriminatory elements in Thiel's language. You can't blame him for this, it's his instinct.
But Reggie noticed another thing. As he said, Samantha was beautiful, because her singing voice was so beautiful that Reggie ignored her beauty, and her appearance was comparable to Tortosa, and even...
Slightly better.
Is she really a mountain demon? But why can't Tyre smell her scent? Can she hide herself in front of the paladin?
There were too many weird aspects in this performance, but it did not affect the effect of the performance at all. The soul-stirring singing made the onlookers intoxicated, and the square was quickly filled with people after the performance took less than an hour.
Dorothy walked off the stage and was still trembling. Listening to the cheers of the people, the shy girl got into Reggie's arms and cried for a long time.
Samantha's performance was over, but the New Year's Eve performance had just begun. The troupe brought by Chris began a dramatic performance. In the evening, Wenna would also ask the girls to perform a hot song and dance.
Of course, all this is to add to the excitement of the New Year's Fair. Today's protagonist is the various goods on the shelves. The goods Chris brought were welcomed by the common people. Clay pots, cattle, farm tools, sweet wine, horses... these things
They are all the favorites of farmers. They usually live frugally, but they are never reluctant to buy these things. Old Yaman's family has a large population and a lot of shopping coupons. He bought a total of four cows, two horses, and
He bought a carriage, which made his son very depressed.
"I'm interested in two new clothes, why don't you buy them for me?"
"I bought you forty feet of cotton cloth, enough for you to make new clothes."
"But my mother's clothes are too ugly. I like the clothes from Drawing City."
"I also like the jewelry in Tuodao City. What's the use of those things!"
Old Yaman spent all his shopping coupons and bought three gold coins, but he didn't feel bad at all. He slapped the carriage hard and said with a smile: "Look, look, we have our own carriage. Even the master
None of the carriages at home are this strong!”
The businessmen from Shazhou City did not like these things, and they set their sights on Reggie's glass products.
"Are these all things from Dragon Palace?"
"Who can say for sure? Anyway, the quality is not bad."
"Did you hear the voices of the two singers just now? In such a big square, every line was sung so clearly. Did they use witchcraft?"
"Have you not heard that in Reggie Victor's territory, wizards will not be punished in any way?"
"This is really unimaginable. Isn't this green-haired madman afraid of offending the gods?"
"Don't mind your own business, don't forget that we are here... look! What is that!"
A new batch of clothing materials was put on the shelves, and each foot cost five gold coins. The astonishing price was prohibitive, but the two businessmen immediately rushed forward.
"Did you feel it out? Is it that thing?"
"That's right, that's it. This is cloud cotton, top quality cloud cotton!"
Reggie's first batch of silk was produced. Although the output was not much, Reggie still decided to put them on the shelves. He harvested a lot of silkworm seeds. He also made a reeling machine with Khalaf. He was very interested in it.
The silk production was confident, but of course, for the time being, this silk had to be kept for show, so Reggie issued an order to limit the purchase.
"One foot only costs five gold coins. God, is this true? I want a hundred feet!"
"Are you crazy? One hundred feet?" another businessman shouted, "You only need one hundred feet of such cheap cloud cotton? How much do you have? Take it all out, I want it all!"
A dispute broke out between the two businessmen, and Dexter laughed and said: "Sorry, everyone can only buy ten feet of cloud cotton at most."
"Why can I only...buy ten feet?" The two businessmen looked at Decto with disappointment.
"This is the Lord's rule," Dexter said with a smile, "If you pay for it now, you can get a purchase coupon."
"What is a purchase voucher?"
"This is the purchase voucher. In two months, you can use the purchase voucher to purchase one hundred feet of cloud cotton in Suixue City."
"Why do you have to wait until two months later!" the businessman shouted, "you obviously have a lot of cloud cotton!"
"Repeat it again," Dexter said coldly, "This is the Lord's rule."
A five-foot-long cloud cotton can be used to make a very delicate robe. If paired with exquisite embroidery, the price of a robe can reach up to three hundred gold coins. Only the richest royal family can afford such a price.
Nowadays, a foot of cloud cotton only costs five gold coins. Such a price can drive all merchants crazy.
What made them even crazier was yet to come. On the third day of the annual fair, Reggie launched new products.
Those products looked like pottery, but their surfaces had the luster of gems.
"Is this, is this also a divine weapon from the Dragon Palace?"
"No," Dexter shook his head and said, "These things come from the Mountain of the Gods. They are vessels carved by the gods from huge gems."
"This, this is a water bottle, is it a water bottle?" A businessman carefully stroked a green porcelain bottle and praised: "It is thinner than paper, and it is warm!"
Another businessman remained calm. He had never seen anything like this before, and the lies about the Mountain of the Gods were unbelievable. He was estimating the reasonable price of these "pottery".
"Tell me, how much does a water bottle like this cost? Fifty silver coins? Or seventy?"
Decto said from the side: "Can you show some sincerity? This is carved from precious stones!"
"Don't be so excited!" the businessman laughed. "No matter what kind of gem it is, it is just some pottery after all. I will give you one gold coin, and there is no way I can give you more."
Nipoli's expression was very calm, and he had expected such a scene. To Dexter, these giant businessmen were as elusive as fog, but to Nipoli, the minds of these people were as transparent as clear water.
"These are not pottery, their name is celadon. Because celadon is too precious, our lord does not intend to sell it."
The businessman said angrily: "Why are you putting it here if you don't plan to sell it? Is it just to look good?"
"This is a gift for you all," Nipoli said with a smile. "As long as you purchase three thousand gold coins at the annual fair, you can get a piece of celadon."
The scene was quiet for a minute, and a businessman shouted loudly: "I have spent three thousand gold coins, and I want that bottle now!"
After speaking, he rushed to the front of the shelf and was about to reach out for the porcelain bottle, but was blocked by Decto.
Nipoli smiled and said: "Don't be so impatient. In two days, the lord will give away the first batch of celadon, and the merchants who spend the most will be given priority."
