Fast Transmigration: Black Raiders

The moment Ariel saw Admiral Annis, she understood her intentions. Although he really wanted to slam the door shut, but after comparing the force values ​​of the two, he obediently followed each other.

I don't know how she knew the layout here, and she didn't meet anyone else on the way, and finally took him out of the hotel, and took the carriage again to the magnificent Gothic palace.

The door of the hall closed behind him, unlike last time only the soft light of the luminous pearl, this time the bedroom hall was brightly lit, illuminating the luxurious golden walls, exquisite reliefs and murals painted with fine brushwork, making him, who just arrived The bumpkins outside the wall couldn't open their eyes for a moment.

Ariel stood there for a few seconds, and walked lightly to the light golden tulle curtain. At this moment, there was no one on the bed, only a tall figure standing by a window beside the bed.

"Sir, do you need me to do something for you?" Ariel was still guessing the other party's identity, and the admiral seemed to think that there was no need to tell him.In fact, it was the negligence of Admiral Anis. She completely forgot that Ariel was from a slum and knew almost nothing about the world outside the wall, let alone the specific official system. She could only roughly guess that the person behind the curtain was noble and Very important to her.If it were any commoner, he would definitely be able to guess that there was no one other than Duke Rand who lived in this palace and the admiral would also serve it.What's more, in Ariel's mind, the Duke of Rand who lives in the book should be an old man with a white beard like the Chief Consul, and seeing the young figure behind the curtain has dispelled this guess.

The man didn't respond to his words, and Ariel saw that he stretched out his hand out of the window, and when he took it back, there was something extra in his hand.

despair.despair.

The man's footsteps landed on the expensive crystal white marble floor, approaching the gauze curtain a little bit, and then the tall figure stopped behind the curtain, almost face to face with Ariel.The golden light cast a shadow on the curtain, and Ariel was enveloped by the black shadow. The other party seemed to be looking at him through the curtain, and he could almost feel the condescending gaze imprisoning him in this small, cramped shadow. inside.

Ariel couldn't help but carefully took a step back. The man stretched out his hand, and slowly opened a corner of the gauze curtain, revealing a pair of black combat boots with a cold iron glow, binding his straight calves, and looking at up, terminating at the waist.A pure white lily appeared in Ariel's field of vision, so tender and delicate, it needs people's careful care.

He stood there blankly, while the other hand held the gauze curtain halfway with one hand, and handed over a flower without even trembling with the other hand.He blinked his eyes, stretched out his hand to take it, and the veil fell down lightly, leaving only the figure of the man's back and the fresh fragrance of lilies.

Ariel was holding the flower branch, and the tip of the branch was heavily covered with flawless flowers.The man walked back to the bed without saying a word, took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, slightly raised his hand towards him.

Ariel understood what he meant, it meant asking him to sing a lullaby.There was still a gift from the other party in his hand, and Ariel was short of staff, so he could only find a song suitable for hypnosis and sing it.

After the end, Anis took a few glances at the flowers in his hand and sent him back.Ariel threw the flowers away casually, and fell asleep exhaustedly on the bed.

The next day Joseph, the person in charge, came early and knocked on his door.Their time is very tight, and there is only one week before the first competition. During this time, they need to revise the score and cooperate with the band to play. In the last two days, they need to determine the appearance and audition. Because he just arrived, Joseph has no plans to Let him rehearse the dance steps.

Ariel followed him to a spacious rehearsal room, where various musical instruments were placed, and there was a huge machine in the middle. Joseph said it was an electronic musical instrument, which could simulate real musical instruments and even synthesize human voices based on the sound source library.Although today's technology can use holographic projections to create virtual idols or intelligent robot singers, they are still not very popular. The maturity of electronic music cannot change the fact that virtual idols or robot singers cannot innovate, and good enough musicians may not be willing to accept recordings. Sound source, providing music.

Joseph is very familiar with the development of music in the slums, mainly operas and ballads. Dating back to the era when the empire came out of ignorance, music and poetry were integrated, and the slums retained the harmony of the two. This is a comparison outside the walls. Not as good as.It's just that over the years, the style of music has continued to evolve and change, ranging from rock, heavy metal, punk, and so on.What he has to do today is to popularize some of the main types of music in this world to Ariel.

Ariel couldn't put it down here. He listened carefully to Joseph's description, and learned about the music development of the people outside the wall through the various music from the imitation machine.In recent years, the aesthetics of music has gradually returned to classical, which is beneficial to the contestants in the slums.

The first day was spent on science popularization, and when he returned to the room at night, Ariel was still immersed in the music, but Joseph’s obsessive-compulsive disorder locked the door, so he was not allowed to stay in the rehearsal room, and he had to be kicked out. out.Ariel walked around the room twice, and suddenly remembered the virtual helmet.

This high-tech enables browsing information to be presented directly on the retina without relying on a light screen, and at the same time can read instructions from the brain to complete corresponding operations.Ariel struggled for a long time, finally found the place to search for information, and issued an order to find the music in the huge database. Unfortunately, he was disappointed before he was happy. Except for the public copyright works that have been dead for a hundred years, most of the other music needs to be purchased to listen to the full song.

He flattened out on the bed in frustration, and had to face his real "poor" identity.He needs money too much, not just for music, but also if he can get his father out in the future, there will be a lot of medical expenses that will make him distressed.

Thinking of this, Ariel checked the treatment of his father's illness, and was pleased to find that people had already found a cure, but the medical expenses were not high at all.Song competitions can bring him honor, and maybe recording music will bring him money in the future, but he doesn't know how long his father can last, he must hurry up.

He hugged the helmet on his head, stopped when he was about to take it off, lay back and searched for the name of Gary's uncle Allen, and soon saw the relevant information.

The attitudes of the three major consuls are different now, but many years ago, the first chief consul once swore to lead the people in the safe zone back to their hometown, and one day they would walk out of the wall.This goal is too difficult for unarmed people. It has been 200 years and has not been achieved. Until 15 years ago, there was a glimmer of hope in the singing competition. People at that time pinned their hopes on the first person to leave the slums. People—Alan, I hope he will spread the voice of the people in the slums.

But Allen never came back.Year after year, all the players followed in Allen's footsteps and never heard from.

Ariel read the relevant reports, which showed that he was once amazing, and then he was active in the music circle for a period of time, but because of his status, he was not taken seriously, so he went into hiding.Ariel guessed that maybe he was being persecuted, or maybe he was just an escapist coward, but in any case, he would never give up tearing down that wall in his life.

Then, he checked his mother's story again, and it was the same as what Joseph said. His mother was once sought after by people, and her sudden death was also hotly discussed and speculated by people. It became a big unsolved case in the entertainment circle in the public mind. .

There must be something inside this.

Ariel had something hidden in his heart, he couldn't sleep well at night, and had nightmares, haunting him like a devil.Vaguely, he smelled a burst of fresh breath, in a trance, it was the fresh scent of roses covered with dew, which soothed his tense nerves and sent him into a deep sleep.

When he woke up during the day, Ariel saw a red coquettish rose lying on the table, facing his direction.

Ariel rolled down from the bed in astonishment, carefully guarding the rose branch from a distance as if guarding against a monster.After a while, he walked over and looked down carefully—the thorns had all been picked off, and the green leaves set off the red budding flowers, lying there shyly and quietly.

He held the branch, and without thinking too much, he thought of the gentleman who couldn't sleep. He turned around and fetched a bottle filled with water, poured out all the water in it, and inserted roses into it.

After yesterday's introduction, Joseph asked himself to sing the selected song a cappella today.

Ariel's father, Ross, is a talented composer well-known in the slums. He became famous because he wrote songs for an opera, and his mother is an actress in the theater.This song called "Looking for" is a solo sung by the heroine in the opera. It tells the story of the heroine missing her lover who was forced to separate because of the confinement wall on a moonlit night.

Ariel adjusted his breath, and slowly lowered his voice, his voice was trembling and sad.The melancholy melody is initially depressing and melancholy, and gradually the melody winds, as if questioning, asking for help, and praying, and gradually drifting into the sky in an ethereal way, hoping that the singing can flow to the lover outside the wall with the moonlight like silver flowing water.

The knuckles of Joseph's white fingers holding the pen turned white. When Ariel opened his blue crystal eyes, he saw the obsessive and crazy eyes of the other party, which shocked him immediately.

"Ariel! Ha, dear Ariel," Joseph seemed to be suppressing his chaotic desire, his whole body trembling slightly, "You don't know what kind of voice God gave you!" He said With a wide range of at least four octaves, his voice is full of strength and beauty, unlike the delicate and soft range of female voices, when his voice floats to high places, it is so light and transparent.Such a voice, unless it is an eunuch, is only a miracle given by God.

Ariel didn't answer.He doesn't believe in God.If God really exists, how could he allow darkness to hang over the slums for so long?His voice is not the work of God, but his own.Ariel forced himself to distract himself from his mutilated body. Self-pity is a useless emotion that does nothing but wear down the will.

Joseph couldn't control his emotions. With a strange smile, he turned his head to look at him and paced back and forth anxiously: "Honey, I want everyone to hear your singing from heaven." He walked to the piano, He even forgot that he was not wearing gloves, and directly touched the keys with his hands, "Come on, show off your singing voice to your heart's content."

It will be his finest masterpiece, waiting to be infused with life.
