Under the gentle breeze, the thin clouds lingered on the streets.
Along with the melodious music, a sense of tranquility rose in the hearts of the people who passed through Munshi's Magic Material Street.
Angor, like everyone else, was quietly watching the man playing the saxophone by the fountain.
This was a young man in a black tuxedo. His hair was slightly long and curly. As the music played, his body swayed gently to the rhythm.
The young man was immersed in his own music as if he had blocked out all information from the outside world. He was the only one left in the world.
The rhythm of the music became more and more free. It was just like the aura of the performer, free and unrestrained.
"He must be a great musician in the past." Leon sighed in a low voice. He did not have any talent in music, but as a noble, he was as good as Angor when it came to music.
Angor and Nausica did not respond to Leon's comment.
Nausica only smiled without saying anything. She knew who the man was. He was not a musician. In fact, he was not even a human.
Angor did not say anything because he was distracted by something else.
When the young man reached the climax of his music, he felt something moving in his chest. Angor quickly shifted his attention away from the music and focused on his chest. Because —
Toby, sleeping soundly in his breast pocket.
He carefully observed Toby, but to his disappointment, Toby didn't do anything else after that. If it were not for his extraordinary memory, he would have thought that everything was just an illusion.
Toby did move a little. Was it because of the music, or something else?
Angor counted in his mind, and the music stopped.
No matter how beautiful the music was, it had to come to an end. This ten-minute long performance made all the audience feel hearty.
There was no doubt that the young man's talent was recognized by everyone. Leon even wanted to go up and make friends with the young man who played the saxophone.
However, when Leon could not hold back his desire, he suddenly noticed that the audience around him were all leaving. They all moved away from the young man as fast as they could, as if they were afraid of getting involved with him.
Leon was confused. Shouldn't they be cheering for the young man's performance? Why did they all run away?
The next second, Leon got the answer.
The music artist, who had previously looked carefree and unrestrained, slowly took out a basin from behind him. Then, with a smile on his face, he placed the basin in front of a person nearby.
His intention was obvious. He was clearly asking for money.
There was a look of regret on that person's face, as if he regretted that he didn't leave immediately.
When the young man kept shaking the basin, he sighed and took out a small piece of magic crystal that had been cut and placed it in the basin.
Then, without hesitation, he turned around and left quickly.
"This … is a street performer?" Leon was dumbfounded. How could such a great musician be reduced to a street performer in a Transcendent world? Furthermore, looking at his expression, he seemed to be taking it for granted.
After the young man got a small magic crystal, he grinned. He turned around to look for his next target, but when he turned around, he realized that everyone around him was gone.
With the fountain where he stood as the center, there was no one within a radius of ten meters.
"Hey, hey, is there a need to run so fast?" The young man frowned and muttered, "If it wasn't for the New Star Competition, who would run out to cheat … Cough, cough, play."
The young man's words made the people around him shake their heads.
A few days ago, some people knew that he was going to participate in the New Star Competition. They thought that they could make friends with a talented person and give him some money. In the end, they went to watch the New Star Competition carefully and found that this guy didn't play at all.
Obviously, when he said that he was going to participate in the New Star Competition, he was wrapping a layer of sugar around his begging.
For those who gave him money, what was inside the sugar was not sugar, but poop.
The young man sighed for a long time. Seeing that he couldn't find anyone to ask for money, he could only put away his saxophone sadly and whispered, "It seems that I have to move next time."
When the others saw the young man's dejected look, they couldn't help but feel refreshed. This guy relied on playing the saxophone to extort so many magic crystals during this period. They were also envious of him. This time, no one was fooled. Looking at the young man's dejected look, it was very refreshing.
When the onlookers were secretly cheering, a sloppy-looking middle-aged man suddenly came in front of the young man.
The young man was stunned. His eyes flashed with joy, and he took out the basin that he had just put away in his bag with a rogue look.
Seeing this scene, someone couldn't help but shout, "Hey, hurry up and leave. This guy is extorting."
However, the middle-aged man didn't care. Instead, he looked at the swaying basin in front of him and slowly stretched out his hand.
A sparkling and translucent magic crystal appeared in his palm and rolled into the basin with a crisp sound.
"It's actually a complete magic crystal?" When the surrounding people saw this, they couldn't help but shake their heads. Even if he was rich, he wouldn't be so wasteful.
However, what surprised them was yet to come.
The tinkling sounds kept coming from the basin. It was like a beautiful musical scale resonating in harmony at this moment.
One, two … ten …
More than twenty magic crystals fell into the basin in one go.
The basin that had never been full in the past was not only full today, but also piled up to a sharp corner.
Under the sunlight, the corners of the magic crystals shone with colorful rainbow light.
This made the onlookers who saw this scene jealous instantly. The pleasure they felt when seeing the young man's weak state disappeared at this moment, leaving only intense jealousy.
Not only the onlookers, but also the young man himself was a little surprised.
"This … this seems a little …"
The young man forced himself to swallow the last word "a little". It was rare to meet a spendthrift, and he couldn't let it go so easily.
"Here are thirty magic crystals. As long as you play one more song, and it's the same as before, I'll give you another thirty magic crystals." The middle-aged man, who was Angor, looked at the somewhat familiar man in front of him and slowly said.
The young man swallowed his saliva. Just play one more song and I'll double it?
As a book spirit with principles, his rule was to set up a stall every three days and only play one song each time. This way, he wouldn't attract the attention of the enforcers.
"My rule is to only play one song." The young man paused and then said, "But since I met a soulmate, one more song won't hurt."
What were principles? Could they be eaten?
What were rules? Weren't rules meant for people to break?
The young man quickly knelt under the charm of the magic crystals and picked up the saxophone again. Under the jealous gazes of the onlookers, he changed himself from a scoundrel to a dashing artist again.
Melodious music began to play.
Angor seemed to be listening, but all his attention was focused on something in his chest pocket.
At the same time, in a dark alley of Munshi's Magic Material Street hundreds of meters away, a young man was leaning against a mottled wall and reading a magazine in his hand under the faint light of a gas lamp hanging on the wall.
When he heard the music, the young man suddenly looked up with a puzzled expression.
Angor could clearly see the young man's face under the light. It was Sailum, the man they were looking for.
"Huh? Why did Dark Dian play again?" Sailum frowned. He had been immersed in the magazine, but he still diverted some of his attention to the outside world. Not long ago, Black Canon had played a song, and this was the second time he had played it.
Dark Dian was a very principled book spirit. Why did he break his own rules?
Could it be that something happened to Dark Codex?
Sailum suddenly became worried. At first, Sailum objected when Dark Dian said that he wanted to "sell his art". He was afraid that he would offend the law enforcers. Setting up a stall without a license was a very scary thing. However, Dark Codex had promised him that he would be careful, so Sailum agreed to do it.
Sailum set up his stall several times, and Dark Dian did not make any mistakes. They also did not attract any law enforcers, so Sailum was relieved.
But now, Dark Dian broke his own rules. There must be a reason behind it.
Sailum was a little worried. After thinking for a while, he put away the magazine that he had read over and over again. Then, he quickly walked out of the alley and walked towards the source of the music.
When he reached the fountain, he saw a middle-aged man standing in front of Dark Dian.
Sailum was still wondering who this person was. Was it because of Dark Melody's second performance? At this moment, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.
…
When the song was over, Angor showed a disappointed look.
He thought Toby would feel something from the concert. After all, Toby's favorite hobby was music, apart from beautiful clothes.
However, Toby did not react when Angor finished the same song.
Perhaps what happened before was really just an accident.
Angor gave the young man the magic crystals he promised. This scene made the eyes of the surrounding people turn red with envy. Although the people who came to Munshi Magic Material Street had some savings, magical crystals didn't fall from the sky. They couldn't just give a stranger 60 magical crystals at once.
After Angor paid the money, he looked at the young man who was about to leave. "Play me another song, preferably in a different style. Still 30 crystals."
The young man paused and looked at Angor in surprise.
The others also looked at Angor as if they were looking at an idiot. One of them hurriedly took out something from his shop and said to Angor, "I have the latest version of the Phantom Box. It's not made by that music box sorcerer, but it has Angor's City of Sky and Alice, which only showed up briefly in the auction.
"Don't ask him to play for you. Come to my shop, and I'll play them for you. I don't need 30 crystals. Just 10 crystals for each song. "
