Aurelia had a long dream. In the dream, she was sitting in a movie theater. In front of her was a wooden table used to play Hearthstone. Beside her was a pile of food.
She happily collected all the golden cards in Hearthstone and watched the movie's final prologue. She didn't need to care about how others looked at her as she filled her stomach.
But at the end of the dream, Josiah appeared in front of her and handed her a bill. Aurelia looked at the number on the bill and woke up with a start.
"So it was a dream?"
Aurelian covered her forehead, which was already covered in sweat.
"Elder Aurelia, you're awake?"
A familiar voice sounded in her ear. Aurelia saw a familiar person, and the panic in her heart was instantly soothed. .
"Where is this place, Winnarn?"
Aurelia looked around. She was definitely not lying in her room. It might not even be Assequero.
The architectural style of this room was completely different from Assequero.
"Noland," Winnarn said as she placed a cup of warm milk beside Aurelia's bed.
"Noland? That human city? "
Aurelia didn't even feel sleepy when she heard the news. She immediately sat up on the bed.
"Why are we in a human city? Could it be … "The horror stories that Elder Enya told appeared in Aurelia's mind again." Were … were we sold to humans as slaves? "
"Is it possible for slaves to have such a good living environment?"
Josiah pushed open the door and walked in. The High Elf lady immediately wrapped herself in a quilt, looking like she would rather die than submit.
"Looks like I'll have to let the parents explain." Josiah helplessly leaned against the wall beside the door. Elder Quedonian walked directly into the room.
She slowly calmed down when she saw Elder Quedonian.
"Listen to me, Aurelia … Our homeland is in danger of destruction. The invaders want the monsters to devour Assequero."
The elder found a wooden chair and sat beside his granddaughter's bed and said in a low voice.
"Then please let me go to the battlefield, elder!" Aurelia let go of her shyness and became a proud warrior again. She pleaded loudly, "Dying in Assequero is far better than living in a foreign country!"
Aurelia mistakenly thought that her grandfather had sent her to this human city for her safety, but her pride did not allow her to continue living.
"No, you are already on the battlefield, my child." Quedonian took out a musical instrument and handed it to his granddaughter.
"A three-stringed zither?"
Aurelian took over the instrument and plucked the strings. A crisp sound flowed from her fingertips.
"When you were a hundred and seventy-two years old, you spent three days to learn how to use it, and you were the best among all of us." Queytoan's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
"This talent means nothing to me."
This was probably the only thing that Aurelia was better than Ahr in that she had a monstrous talent in music and playing musical instruments.
However, playing musical instruments could not help her become an elder, so she had never seen this talent as something to brag about.
"Now you need it. Our race cannot provide enough energy for Assequero, so we can only absorb the faith of humans to keep Assequero away from destruction."
"Absorb … the faith of humans?"
Aurelia did not seem to understand what her grandfather meant.
"Make the humans in this city fall in love with you, just like your faith in the Holy Tree."
"How is that possible …"
"Just your appearance alone is enough to charm one or two humans." Josiah felt that it was about time and interrupted the conversation between the two high elves. "Unfortunately, one or two humans are useless. I will tell you what to do next."
Josiah pushed open the door of the room. This was not the Hearthstone Tavern, but the Music Guild established by the Knight Of The White Thorn. A large number of musical instruments were placed outside the door.
"There are musical instruments from the human world outside. There are also some instruments that I made. Choose one that you like, and I will give you some time to practice. Then, you can perform as a performer on the stage."
This young mistress had been added to the team at the last minute by Elder Queytoan, and Josh had initially planned to find someone else to perform with the black-robed figure. However, if she really did possess exceptional musical talent, then Josh wouldn't mind giving her a chance.
"Perform …"
"This is an order from the name of the elder. You must do it!"
Queytoan stared into his granddaughter's eyes and said in a low voice.
"I understand."
She gently plucked the three-stringed instrument in her hand and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Josiah and asked.
"If I perform for you, will I be paid?"
"Of course you will. Not only will you be paid, but you will also earn more than being a servant in the Hearthstone Tavern," Josiah said with a smile.
Aurelia stood up from her bed and walked past Josiah into the hall. She found an instrument that was the closest to the three-stringed instrument.
"What is this called?"
"Guitar. This is a very common model in human society," Josiah said.
Aurelia picked up the instrument and gently plucked it. She gradually got the hang of it and played a beautiful melody.
"The seventh chapter of the Elven Poem, The Homecoming?"
Josiah had listened to Taylin's singing for a long time in the Hearthstone Tavern, so he immediately recognized the melody.
However, Aurelia did not seem satisfied. After finishing her short performance, she slowly walked to a piano.
"The sixth chapter, The Song of the Expedition."
Josiah quietly watched as Aurelia's slender fingers danced on the piano. From her proficiency, it seemed like this was not her first time playing the instrument.
It was not surprising to Josiah that Assequero had a piano. What surprised Josiah was that this girl was really … a genius in playing. It was a waste of her talent to be an elder of the High Elves.
"You know the Elven Poem well?"
Aurelia was very surprised that Josiah could accurately recite every melody she played.
"Because I know a singer who loves to sing. After you're done playing the piano, why don't you try this instrument?"
Josiah pointed at the drum set in the corner of the room. This was something that Josiah had asked the Knight Of The White Thorn and a group of craftsmen to come up with. It was an instrument that did not exist in this world.
"This is a drum? But it doesn't feel right. "Aurelia hit the drum in front of her. She had seen similar instruments before.
