Fast Transmigration: Black Raiders
Chapter 39 The Singer of the Slums 1
Mount Alves is the most majestic and lofty mountain in the Supreme Empire, also known as the Mother Mountain. The longest river flowing down from the top of the mountain has nurtured the people of the entire empire, selflessly nourishing generations of people, regardless of the noble or the humble. Even the untouchables of the slums can enjoy the milk of the mother mountain.It's a pity that this tradition is about to come to an end. Recently, an earl spoke to the iron-blooded Duke Rand, proposing to divert the river away from the slums. Only within a few days can he confess his crime to Mother Mountain.
These remonstrances were ridiculed and criticized by the female general Anis. It seems that His Excellency the Earl came up with a good idea of repairing canals to earn money for whoring in the hotbed of prostitutes.
The nobles and nobles of the two sides in the hall faced each other tit-for-tat and fought with each other. At the beginning, they refused to give in to each other. When the military officials who had been soaked in the battlefield showed their sharp swords, the honorable nobles had to withdraw their sharp teeth, but their faces were not good-looking. At this time There was a light cough from above the hall seat, and the people on both sides turned pale and knelt down on the ground.
After the golden curtain was closed, a slender and tall figure stood up, the maid opened the curtain, and the man walked down the golden steps of the temple step by step, his long robe dragging on the ground, and the black and gold embroidered corners of his clothes came from his knees. The light of a sharp sword flashed across the eyes of the people on the ground.
When the man disappeared from the hall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Admiral Anis sneered at the nobles, raised her sword and left.
The iron-blooded Duke Rand Schatt has recently suffered from insomnia again, but fortunately they stopped just now, otherwise it is unknown who was cut off with a sword.
The slums in the far west are surrounded by high walls and iron walls. They are isolated from the world. Technology has been backward for 200 years, and newborns can only get a glimpse of the outside scenery from the mouths of the elderly.Those steaming trains, factories billowing thick smoke, airplanes filled with people flying in the sky, and glowing light bulbs always appear in their dreams with magical colors, and occasionally they see flying through the high walls. After something passed, they happily cheered "airplane".Even old people don't know that in 200 years, the outside world has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
The establishment of the slums was about 200 years ago, when the empire was still the business of the emperor.Emperor Wu Wei was cruel and unkind, which aroused people's resentment. At that time, for the "common people's resentment", this great monarch built a wall in the west area, and threw some literati who were full of complaints into it first, and soon the world was clean. Wherever the emperor went, there was only servile flattery, and he simply built one slum after another.
When Duke Rand led his army to kill the tyrant, the cruel rule finally came to an end. Holding an iron sword in his hand, the 16-year-old juvenile duke surrounded the young monarch on the throne, commanding the nobles with the young monarch, and using the emperor's mouth to take away a large area of territory.The young monarch was powerless to resist, and the nobles turned into vampires one after another, and they all came up to take a bite. Soon the emperor was almost useless, and the empire was controlled by the dukes, with the Duke of Rand as the most respected.
Over the past 200 years, with the rapid development of science and technology, the life expectancy of normal people has risen to 200 years, and it will become longer and longer in the future. However, slums have been forgotten in the corner, and the average life expectancy is only 50 years old.There is a world of difference across a wall.
However, the situation in the slums is not as dirty and chaotic as people outside the walls think. On the contrary, it has become a small society of its own, with patrolling soldiers, criminal courts, and three consuls in charge of the entire district. .Because of the shortage of resources, after the exiles gave up the idea of going out of the wall from the very beginning, they worked together to formulate a series of laws and regulations, paying special attention to the utilization of resources and the protection of the environment. All are low houses and flowers.
Inside the wall, which is getting stronger and stronger, there is only one road leading to the outside of the wall: more than ten years ago, the annual Star Road Song Contest was held outside the wall. to here.
This is the game that all young people who dream of living outside the wall dream of participating in. Although they don't know what they are about to face, they know from the people who come here to pick them up in a so-called "airship" that outside the wall There are abundant resources, and a long lifespan...
That was Ariel's lifelong wish. Since he made up his mind to become an eunuch at the age of 7, he gave up getting married and having children for this goal.
The beauty here is the illusion of water, moon and mirror flowers, which can be shattered by throwing a stone.
Only by singing can I take my father away.
Ariel put the marigolds in front of his father's hospital bed, lifted a corner of the quilt to help him clean up the rotten wound, covered it with new medicine, and finally wrapped it in a bandage.
The father on the hospital bed closed his eyes tightly, unable to open them to see his most beloved child.
"Ariel... Ariel!" A brown head protruded from the window, and the young man supported the window sill, "I knew you were here, come with me."
Ariel stood up and walked over, eyes like blue crystals: "Gary, why are you here?"
The brown-haired and blue-eyed boy leaned on the window frame and jumped in: "I'm here to ask you for help. The song contest campaign is about to start, and a group of hooligans are provoking from outside the wall. Help me fight back!"
Ariel's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Gesai came to provoke? I'll go with you."
"Ariel, you are the most righteous!" Gary happily jumped on his back and hung it up.
Every year before the song competition starts, there will always be some people outside the wall to provoke and show off. I don't want these pariahs to tarnish the competition and make them automatically give up their right to participate.How can this be?The biggest dream of the young people in the slums is to participate in the competition and go out with their families. Therefore, at this time, some people can't bear the provocation and can't help but fight with people by the wall, and occasionally they will fight with each other sang.
Ariel followed Gary to the wall, where a group of children surrounded them, seeing them jumping up happily, they were actually waiting for him.
"Brother Ariel, we said that you can sing "Phantom", but they still don't believe it. You can sing it to them quickly, so that they can learn a lot."
Ariel touched the child's head, raised his beautifully curved chin, his blue eyes were clear and bright, and he wanted to stare at the group of people through the wall: "People outside the wall, if you ask us to sing, we can sing, then It's too embarrassing, since you want to play, let's make some bets."
The people on the other end laughed loudly, only to hear someone disdainfully say: "Don't brag about the cowhide, what bet do you want?"
"Starway only gave us one quota, and I don't ask too much. If you can change the quota to three, I will bet with you." Ariel vowed, "To be fair, if we lose, this year we will win As you wish, do not participate in the competition."
The people outside the wall were silent for a while, and after a while, one shouted: "Okay, my father is the chief producer of Starway Company, if you win, we will give you two spots."
Ariel and Gary looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.In order to prevent people from turning over from this side of the wall, a net made of nanomaterials is used on the outside of the wall. If someone touches the net when they climb over the wall, it will be instantly broken into corpses. Let it go, there are heavy guards outside the wall to prevent collusion and collusion between people inside and outside the wall, so those who can get permission from the soldiers to come here will not be civilians.Ariel originally just wanted to try, but he didn't expect to succeed.
"The untouchables in the wall, you sing." The man had no grace, and mocked.
Gary clenched his fist angrily, and almost knocked on the wall in protest, but Ariel grabbed his wrist to restrain him, leaned into his ear and said, "It's okay, we'll let them cry and give us a place later."
The creator of "Phantom" is a lonely old man. He dreamed that he would wake up and return to his old age. The girl he admired appeared around the corner. He stepped forward to catch up. The girl's hair swayed gracefully in the air. , kept hooking him and chasing him until he reached the gate of hell, watching the girl's back disappear through the gate with his own eyes.He wanted to chase into hell, but the gate was tightly closed and would not open to him.He was so worried that he wandered around the gate of hell day and night, and moved the god of death.The god of death came to him and told him two choices. If he followed, he would lose his regained youth, and his soul would never leave hell. If he left, he would gain supreme glory in this world.He chose the former without hesitation, and the god of death opened the door for him, and in an instant, his face aged instantly.But he failed to achieve the desired result. His beloved was a vain girl who went to hell after death. Seeing his old appearance, she turned and walked away, refusing to look back.
Waking up from a dream, the old man's heart was agitated, and he quickly wrote this song. All his can't wait and admiration were poured out in it, and finally turned into a painful cry of being abandoned.
Ariel picked up a branch from the ground, held it in his hand as a microphone, and slowly closed his eyes.His long and curly eyelashes drooped quietly, his face was as serene as a baby returning to his mother's embrace, his lips were as rosy as a red rose in the morning, and his lips parted for a kiss, singing a beautiful and psychedelic tune in a low voice.
At first, it was just a soft hum, and then accompanied by the lyrics, the tone turned high and hurried, as if it was a young man who was eager to find the figure of the girl. , the sadness in my heart poured out.
Why do you live?Why die?Hi why?Why is it sad?
He is already a bird in her cage, and time has moved him from release decades later to this moment, and the sadness that has been growing for many years has not been relieved.The god of death listened to his confession and gave him the most bleak promise. He stepped into hell with great joy as if heading towards heaven.
But his girl dumped him.
Ariel's eyes opened slightly, revealing a sea of blue with sadness, with a beauty that shocks the soul.He is indistinguishable from male and female, and in Gary's heart, he is the brightest ray of sunshine in the whole spring.But now, he is still like a scorching light, but it is not like spring, but like winter, covered with a layer of gray, not blazing, but bright.
The pure song spanning five octaves floated across the wall, like a desperate wail from hell, plundering the hearts of soldiers and noble youths, and along the wind, it floated in front of the palace carriage parked in a hidden place. The horseshoes of special materials are installed under the hooves of the first horses, which can float up from the ground when driven.
At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground outside the carriage. The chief producer of the Star Tour Song Contest didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Admiral Annis stood beside the carriage, listening to the wonderful music attentively. When the singing disappeared into the air, a trace of regret slipped through her heart, and she regained her senses and waited for the Duke's order.
"Your Highness?" Annis leaned against the carriage window and asked in a low voice, but she didn't get a response for a long time.She hesitated for a moment, then opened the golden curtain of tussah silk, and through the window saw Duke Rand, who was leaning against the car wall and asleep.
Anis stared wide-eyed in shock—His Royal Highness, who hadn't been able to fall asleep for several years... fell asleep?
These remonstrances were ridiculed and criticized by the female general Anis. It seems that His Excellency the Earl came up with a good idea of repairing canals to earn money for whoring in the hotbed of prostitutes.
The nobles and nobles of the two sides in the hall faced each other tit-for-tat and fought with each other. At the beginning, they refused to give in to each other.
