Arcane Age

The last day of the Midsummer Night Music Festival was the celebration day, the carnival day. As a judge on the final day, Xiwei came to the Luxembourg Gardens on time.

Compared with the opening ceremony, there are many more colorful decorations in the Luxembourg Gardens, and a huge and spacious stage has been built in the middle that can be watched by everyone in the entire park at the same time.

The contestants who have reached the finals are all excellent musicians who have been recognized by many audiences and appreciated by experts during their performances in the past half month. Johnny, a friend of Xi Wei’s who met on the traveling carriage, also entered. On the final day, he became one of the only eight groups of performers.

Today, Xi Wei wore a loose silver-gray casual suit and a black round hat. This look was more in line with his status as a music master.

When they arrived at the judges' table, the other four judges were already seated. Xi Wei recognized one of them: Miss Elena, are you also a judge on the final day?

Elena is the noble lady of the Lysalus family who appeared in the Blue Charm Bar in Lyon. Unexpectedly, she is also one of the five judges of this competition.

Elena smiled in surprise when she saw Xi Wei for the first time. She stood up suddenly and led Xi Wei to the empty seat in the middle of the judges' box.

Is it inappropriate for me to sit here? This place is facing the main stage, which has been renovated to perfectly combine luxury and sophistication. It is as exquisite as a work of art. The overall structure must be designed by a master architect.

This is what Duke Rose insists on! Elena's seat was on Xi Wei's left, and she began to introduce the other three judges to Xi Wei. They were composers from Vienna, the capital of the Holy Norman Empire, and There is also a harpsichordist from the Kingdom of Raisa and a soprano singer from the Kingdom of Etanli.

These three have very high status in their respective fields of music and have enough authority to serve as judges on the final day of the most important music festival in the continent.

In the world of magic, music has begun to take a different track from the previous world, especially when Sophie, the master of music, gradually transformed the ancient profession of bard with a long history from a simple musician into a person who began to possess After the professional system of extraordinary power, music began to become more contagious.

The reason why Xi Wei initially agreed to Sophie's invitation to serve as a judge on the final day of the Midsummer Night Music Festival was not only to make good friends with the Lord of Music, but also because he wanted to observe closely how the bards used this gift given by the Lord of Music. of their extraordinary strength.

Magicians, warlocks, warriors, knights, thieves, monks, and priests are all professions with a long heritage. However, with the end of the original contract, powerful beings who aspire to become gods gradually appeared on the Orient continent. The stage of the world, then a number of corresponding special professional systems will inevitably be born, and bards are undoubtedly the representatives, which are of great research and reference value.

As the opening time of the final ceremony gets closer and closer, more and more people are in the Luxembourg Gardens. The park, which was originally full of green plants, is overwhelmed by the sea of ​​people at this moment. It seems that all the citizens of the royal capital of Paali are pouring in. Got here.

I heard that Mr. Xiwei is a legendary spell caster? Before the competition started, the judges had nothing to do. The other three music masters had a pleasant chat, so Elena and Xiwei started chatting.

It's just a rumor. I haven't been able to obtain the master's certificate yet! Xi Wei clarified the rumor.

I always feel that Master Xiwei is unfathomable. Whether it is magic or music, he is beyond the limits of what I can imagine! Elena's eyes showed a mixture of appreciation, admiration and jealousy: You Every song written for Johnny is a classic golden song that can be sung for decades or hundreds of years. Master Xiwei, I wonder if you can also write a song for me? Just one song will do!

Elena looked at Xi Wei pleadingly with a pitiful expression.

Xi Wei thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head: I thought of a song!

As soon as he finished speaking, under Elena's surprised gaze, Xi Wei took out the paper and pen he brought with him and started composing the music score.

Xi Wei's hand never stopped, and lines of music scores appeared quickly on the white paper, looking like rows of wild geese arranged in a neat queue.

Elena stood next to Xi Wei and hummed quietly according to the score. This was a brisk song with a very moving melody. It was obviously another popular classic song!

After completing all the scores, Xiwei filled in the lyrics in the gaps between the scores. In just three minutes, Xiwei completed the composition of a song.

'My Name is Elaine', this song is for you, Miss Elena. Xi Wei handed the white paper covered with neat handwriting to Elena.

Elena should undoubtedly be the closest direct descendant of Sophie, the Lord of Music. She is young and her body already contains the unique energy of a powerful bard.

It just so happened that Xi Wei thought of a song that was very suitable for Elena, so he composed it and gave it to her without hesitation. Anyway, Xi Wei did not intend to develop further in the field of music, let alone compete with the master of music Sophie for music. God's throne, these are just entertainment and embellishments in leisure time.

At this moment, Elena felt as if she had been shot in the heart by an arrow. She was so excited that she couldn't help herself. Judging from the name, this song was composed for herself by Master Xiwei in one fell swoop!

What a rare honor this is! And this song is really outstanding!

At this moment, Elena was completely immersed in the song and didn't care to thank Xi Wei.

Soon, the music festival finally opened, and there was no extra step. The first finalist came directly onto the stage.

This is a contestant from the distant continent of Afric on the southern coast of the Golden Sea. His skin is as dark as coal, and his best instrument is drumming!

The entire main stage of the finals has been set up with amplification. The master of music, Sophie, is the first note of the Oriente continent. She can easily transmit the music or music played by all the contestants to any audience in the entire Luxembourg Garden without loss. 's ear.

This drummer is undoubtedly a soul drummer. He is a performer who devotes his life and soul wholeheartedly. Although he is not a bard, his music moved more than 50,000 listeners throughout the Luxembourg Gardens.

When his performance ended, almost all the audience cheered and applauded him not only in the stands, but also in the square, by the pond, in the trees, and on the grass.

Hearing the warmest praise and encouragement, the black drummer fell to his knees on the floor and kissed the ground beneath his feet.
