Chapter 762
"She sang very well. She was naturally very talented, and she also learned some magic skills to warm her throat and strengthen her bass. The deep tone she used to sing these epic stories was very immersive."
Wang Yi had really practiced this and had a sharp eye, so he gave a very incisive evaluation.
This professional review also surprised the bard.
"Are you from the same industry, sir?"
"Yes, I came here this time because I was excited to see you. I want to borrow your organ. All the proceeds from the performance will belong to you. I just want to tell a new story and hope to have the opportunity to help spread it."
Wang Yi is indeed a reasonable person. This is someone else's territory, so he made it clear that he was just a passerby and had no intention of stealing the business.
"Any new stories? That would be awesome, please."
There were two professional-level people following Wang Yi, and they showed such politeness and kindness, so it was natural for the bard to be confused.
When the drinkers nearby heard that there was a new story, they were naturally happy to continue.
Drinking, bragging and listening to the stories of bards in the tavern is a great way to relax.
Wang Yi took the organ, stroked it with his hand, and adjusted the pitch.
Although the organ is very old, it is obviously well maintained and the tone is very good. After all, it is the other party's livelihood.
"Hey, if the players knew that their gods were so worried about them and even came out to sing for them, they would probably be very touched..."
Wang Yi complained in his heart, and then he began his first performance since he came to this world.
"The raindrops fell, covering the flowers in the dense jungle..."
The ethereal elven music appeared, and in an instant it was like a breeze that cooled down the entire hot tavern.
The sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers seemed to be heard by everyone, and they could smell the fragrance of nature.
Afterwards, it seemed that he had heard the legend of the savage and saw his busy figure in the forest.
They were wearing animal skin pants and had leaves hanging on their bodies, jumping around in the woods like monkeys.
A funny monkey image completes the first impression of the wild man...
“…I am ready to leave the jungle and find a new homeland at any time.”
Wang Yi's voice stopped abruptly as the music ended. The scene fell into silence for a short time, and after a moment's silence, it immediately broke out into enthusiastic praise.
“It’s a style of music I’ve never heard before.”
"Although it sounds soft and weak, it sounds unexpectedly nice."
"Noble gentlemen probably like this style."
“I didn’t expect that I would be fascinated by this style of singing.”
"Savage? Is it a story or a legend?"
“I haven’t heard of it…”
"Are these savages called cavemen? Living in caves?"
Following the words of the rough men in the tavern, the bard Beifeng slowly came to his senses, and then said to Wang Yi with excitement:
"Sir, you are so talented! This tune reminds me of the lost elven music. Since the elves left, there seems to be no similar works..."
At this point, he paused, then said anxiously
"My name is Beifeng, and I'm a bard of the singing school. Sir, did you create this piece of music yourself? It has the elegance of an elven style, and it's not difficult to sing. It's catchy and will be widely circulated."
After all, Beifeng is a bard who makes a living from this, so when others thought the song sounded good, he had already started a comprehensive analysis, making judgments on everything from style to difficulty of singing, as well as future popularity.
This has the potential to spread across countries in a short period of time.
"Elf?"
Wang Yi was quite surprised when he heard this.
During the casual chat with Shalltia and Dali, Wang Yi really didn't hear about elves. After all, he didn't want to ask proactively whether there were elves in this world.
All I know is that there are quite a few sub-humans, as well as goblins, ogres, gnolls and so on.
But I didn't expect that there were elves here.
This is not an elf with different expressions "translated". In Beifeng's words, the word "elf" is pronounced exactly the same as when Wang Yi first arrived in the other world.
Add to that the 'elf style' he mentioned, and it's hard to say it's just a coincidence.
Wang Yi briefly recalled that he had a good relationship with the Elf Queen in the other world, and the elves were indeed not a race native to the other world.
It’s not necessarily that they migrated here.
But the elves’ way of spreading may also be a little different.
He knew before that the elves were centered around the Tree of Life, and the world tree created by Wang Yi was also inspired by his visit to the Tree of Life.
Perhaps, the elves are also a large-scale pan-civilization that has begun star travel or plane movement.
It’s not that they will be very developed, but they may have a unique way of spreading the seeds of the tree of life.
If it reaches a planet with sufficient concentration of magic power , the seeds of the tree of life may sprout and give birth to a new race of elves.
As to whether it is a projection from the starry sky or using the abyss as a springboard, it is not clear.
It seems that elves existed in this world before, but for some reason they gradually faded out of people's sight.
Perhaps it was another conflict caused by slave hunting and destruction of nature.
As to whether they will retreat from the world, leave, or even be exterminated, it is not clear.
"This is not a legend, nor a story. It can be considered a prophecy."
Wang Yi smiled.
"prophecy?"
Beifeng's expression was blank. Sometimes, some prophecies and songs would indeed be circulated.
Especially in some war-torn areas, various versions of "prophecies" about the birth of a new king are more likely to appear.
Today someone kills a white wild boar, and tomorrow a dragon brings a gem to someone else.
However, the bards who sang the tale also knew what the situation was.
In fact, even King Idai, who sang the sad wind, could receive some extra subsidies.
Is this because of the recent new developments in the situation in the north?
But is such a high-quality song used for these?
The reason why he was able to gain popularity by singing about King Idai’s deeds was largely due to his skillful technique. As for the music, it was actually nothing special. It might have been made up recently. It was nothing like the ‘prophecy’ brought by this person…
But none of this has anything to do with sadness, as long as there are good tunes!
As for some of the contents that are sung, prophecies, rumors and so on, that's not a big deal.
There wasn't much of a problem until there was a clear ban on singing.
Although the Bards Guild's combat power is not very strong, they are very good at writing and swearing, and generally no force will offend them for no reason.
Of course, sometimes a duchy or a city-state would directly ban a certain song, and the local guild would notify the poet. If the poet went against the rules at this time, the guild would not save him...
Wang Yi soon discovered the benefit of his impromptu decision, because when Bei Feng heard that this was Wang Yi's own creation and had not yet been registered with the guild, he immediately and enthusiastically prepared to take him to the guild to complete the formalities.
"Sir, you've specially lowered the difficulty of the song. You probably want it to spread. Once it's passed to the guild, with this rare and complete elven tune, they might use magic equipment to connect to guilds in other cities for quick registration, and they might even receive a hefty bonus..."
Of course Wang Yi would not refuse such a good thing.
He also learned from the side that the Bards Guild did not care much about the registration of the bards themselves. It was mainly responsible for the management of some songs and occasionally delegated some tasks internally.
The main thing is that the threshold to become a bard is actually not high.
Beifeng is considered quite professional, and it is also common for some people with good voices who cannot make it in other professions to join in temporarily.
Or if they find that bards can't make money, they can just become adventurers. This phenomenon also creates the uneven quality of bards...
