"Grand Garden" and "Hymn to the Galaxy".
These were the two other pieces of music Uriel had recorded after "32 Quartets of the Wind".
Uriel's writing was extremely smooth. From his expression, it looked more like he was copying than composing an original piece of music.
"Perhaps, he really did obtain a new score from his dream?" The Moon Lady whispered.
Mr. Sun asked, "Do you want to hypnotize him now?"
Moon Lady thought for a moment and shook her head. "I haven't found anything out of the ordinary yet. Let's wait."
Moon Lady paused and looked at Tiredness in her arms. "Go and sense the underlying logic of these pieces of music. See if there's anything out of the ordinary."
Tiredness sighed and nodded helplessly. "… Okay."
Tiredness knew that "Confession of the Black Sheep" was from the Dream Realm. Tiredness would definitely help in the analysis of the music.
After all, the Lady of the Moon and Mr. Sun were much weaker than it in this aspect.
Tiredness jumped lightly and landed on the table.
Uriel was less than a meter in front of him.
Uriel did not notice Tiredness. In his field of vision, there was nothing on the table. Tiredness had obviously used a concealment technique.
But then again, even if Tiredness had given up on concealment, Uriel would not have noticed it with his current focus on the music.
Tiredness reached out a black plum-shaped paw and placed it on the score of "32 Quartets of the Wind".
Then it slowly closed its eyes.
A minute later, Tiredness opened his eyes. But it was not the end of the investigation. It was awakened by the sound of a piano.
Tiredness looked up and saw that Uriel had left the table and was in front of the piano. He was immersed in playing the black and white piano.
The beautiful sound of the piano flowed like mercury.
The prelude to the piano was not graceful or grand, but it was like a gentle breeze blowing in everyone's ears.
After the gentle breeze, there was a refreshing breeze, followed by a gust of wind …
It was supposed to be a feast for the ears, but it gave people a refreshing feeling.
Was this "32 Quartets of the Wind"?
Tiredness did not understand music, but it could still feel the clear artistic conception of the wind.
"After he copied the score, he started to play it. I'm guessing it's to leave a lasting impression … But, he's playing in the middle of the night. Isn't he afraid of disturbing the people? " The Moon Lady muttered as if she had thought of something. "Now I understand why he lives in such a remote place …"
In the middle of the night, he started to play without a care. If he lived in the city center, who could stand it?
The Moon Lady paused and looked at Tiredness. "You're done with your investigation so quickly?"
Tiredness: "… Not yet, let me finish listening first. I want to combine it with the actual notes and further confirm its underlying logic. "
The Moon Lady narrowed her eyes. "You just want to hear it."
He turned his head tiredly and ignored the Moon Lady's teasing expression.
Lady of the Moon chuckled. But then again, Uriel's performance was not bad. As someone with thousands of years of experience in music, she could easily tell that Uriel's skills were at the pinnacle of the Western Continent's art world.
Even though his performance of "Wind's 32 Quartets" was obviously a little rusty, and the instruments might not match, it still made people unable to help but indulge in the artistic conception of the wind.
Lady of the Moon believed that Uriel's status in the piano world was no lower than Gulaimo's in the harp world.
If there was a chance, Lady of the Moon would not mind making friends with an artist like Uriel.
But before that, she had to figure out the "anomaly" first.
…
Uriel played one song after another. He played all three of the notes he had recorded earlier.
When the feast for the ears came to an end, Tiredness reluctantly sank back into the underlying logic of the music.
A few minutes later, Tiredness opened his eyes.
Under the gaze of the Moon Lady and Mr. Sun, Tiredness nodded. "Just like 'Black Sheep Confession', it's also tainted with the aura of the Nightmare Realm and Dream Realm."
The Lady of the Moon stroked her chin. "That is to say, based on the 'concept exploration', the origins of these scores are indeed very strange …"
Concept Detection was an ability that almost all legendary wizards could master. It was almost at the level of Concept Detection.
It seemed that the detection was only about the music score itself, but in fact, it could trace back to the concept of the score itself.
This was why Tiredness could sense the aura of the Nightmare Realm and Dream Realm through Uriel's notes. After all, Concept Detection was not limited to the material itself.
Tiredness continued, "But personally, I think 'Black Sheep Confession' is a little different from the other three."
"Different?" Lady of the Moon asked, "What's the difference?"
Tiredness thought for a moment. "I don't know. I just feel that 'Black Sheep Confession' is somehow different."
For example, an apple from the Nightmare Realm.
One was a barbaric apple, while the other was carefully cultivated by the royal family. Both apples came from the Nightmare Realm and were tainted with the aura of the Nightmare Realm, but they still felt different.
"Black Sheep Confession" and "Wind's Thirty-Two Quartets" were similar.
Both had the aura of the Nightmare Realm and Dream Realm, but the information contained in the aura was different.
Tiredness continued, "If we were to use 'anomaly' to express it, I personally think 'Black Sheep Confession' is more unusual."
Lady of the Moon said, "But whether it was' Confession of the Black Sheep 'or' Thirty-Two Wind Quartets', they were all written by Uriel …"
They were both written by Uriel, so why did they express different information?
Lady of the Moon pondered. "Maybe we should talk to Uriel …"
Mr. Sun asked, "Hypnosis?"
Lady of the Moon shook her head. "No. Before we know what the anomaly is, don't use your power on Uriel."
Uriel must be the source of the anomaly. That much was certain.
Even Lady of the Moon did not want to take the risk. Her power might cause negative feedback to the anomaly.
After all, this was Teacher Nocturnal's mission.
If Teacher Nocturnal thought so highly of this place, the anomaly must be something special. Lady of the Moon decided to be extra careful.
Tiredness also looked at Lady of the Moon in confusion. "Then what do you plan to do?"
Lady of the Moon's eyes flickered. "We'll … knock on the door."
As soon as she finished speaking, the shadows of the moon flashed. Lady of the Moon, Mr. Sun, and Tiredness disappeared from the attic and reappeared on the street outside.
Lady of the Moon looked up at the dilapidated attic balcony in the distance.
"Three songs were played in the middle of the night. As music lovers who came to Dawnlight City, we heard it when we passed by. So we went to pay a visit …"
Mr. Sun did not refute his lover's words. He nodded. "That's reasonable."
She rolled her eyes tiredly. "… The way you two dress up is even more exaggerated than the actors in stage plays. Do you look like music lovers? Reasonable my ass. "
Lady of the Moon said nonchalantly, "You can change your appearance at any time. Just like how a kitten can change into a human."
Before Tiredness could react, she felt a hazy moonlight covering her body. Then her body began to grow rapidly.
In a few seconds, the black kitten had turned into a 1.2-meter-tall loli with two ponytails.
There was a golden crescent mark on the loli's forehead, as if she had opened the Third Eye.
Lady of the Moon squatted down with a smile. Tiredness stared in shock. She lowered her head to block the crescent mark. "The power of the crescent mark is too strong. I can't hide it. So I can only use my hair to block it. "
Tiredness widened her eyes. "I didn't say I was going to change into a human!"
Lady of the Moon said, "A young couple who likes music and brings a cute little daughter to Dawnlight City to visit relatives. What do you think of the background?"
Mr. Sun smiled. He hugged Lady of the Moon and kissed her hair. "Of course it's reasonable."
Lady of the Moon said, "Then it's settled. Remember, Tiredness, your new name is Crescent Moon. I'm Full Moon, and you … "
Under Mr. Sun's gentle gaze, Lady of the Moon said softly, "You should be called Sun."
Mr. Sun nodded. "Of course, my Lady of the Moon."
Lady of the Moon blushed a little. "Don't call me that in front of the child. It's embarrassing."
Tiredness: "…" Hey, I haven't agreed yet.
Lady of the Moon said, "Let's go. It's time to knock on the door. If we're late, the excuse won't work. "
Lady of the Moon took a step forward. The exaggerated outfit on her body disappeared instantly and was replaced by a delicate fluffy skirt.
Mr. Sun also turned around and became a gentleman in a tuxedo.
Tiredness: "… Don't you think it's weird to be dressed so exquisitely in the middle of the night?"
Lady of the Moon smiled and snapped her fingers. A tall black carriage appeared behind her, accompanied by a coachman wearing a distinctive vest.
The carriage was exquisitely decorated and embossed. It was obviously a product of nobility.
Lady of the Moon said, "Now it makes sense. We're nobles, so of course we have to start with the extravagant."
Tiredness: "So, you're adding a new character?"
Lady of the Moon said, "Isn't character design something you give yourself?"
Tiredness rolled her eyes. Lady of the Moon adjusted her expression. It changed from elegance to shyness and longing. There was also a hint of surprise hidden in her eyes.
"Does this look like a fan's expression?"
Mr. Sun: "Yes."
Lady of the Moon: "Then I'm going."
In the silence of the night, the sound of knocking came from the dilapidated attic.
Uriel, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, was woken up by the knock on the door.
"Why is someone here in the middle of the night? Is it Butler Cha?"
Uriel muttered to himself as he opened the dilapidated door and walked to the balcony to look down.
Outside the courtyard, a tall carriage was parked. Two nobles in exquisite attire were holding a child's hand, looking curiously inside.
Perhaps the noblewoman had heard the commotion on the balcony, for she looked up.
Uriel was sure he didn't recognize these people.
Judging by their attire, they looked like nobles from the capital. But even if they were nobles, what did it have to do with him? Why would they knock in the middle of the night?
Under Uriel's puzzled gaze, the lady in the tutu waved at him. "Hello, were you the one playing the piano just now? Heavens above, this is wonderful! "
"I don't know if I have the honor to have a chat with you, sir?"
Uriel frowned. His first instinct was to refuse.
She was a stranger. More importantly, who would come to talk to someone in the middle of the night?
But before Uriel could refuse, the noblewoman took the little girl's hand. "This is my daughter. She is learning the piano and has encountered some difficulties. If possible, I hope you can help her. "
Tiredness: "…?" Another new persona?
Uriel looked at the cute little girl and thought for a moment. "How about tomorrow …"
The noblewoman seemed to understand what he was about to say. "We're actually preparing to move out of Dawnlight City. We've brought our furniture."
As she spoke, she lifted the curtains of the carriage. It was filled to the brim with luggage.
"We'll probably not be here tomorrow …"
"That's why we took the liberty of knocking in the middle of the night."
The noblewoman looked at Uriel expectantly.
Uriel hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. "Then … alright."
Uriel had agreed because they seemed sincere and didn't seem like bad people.
His courtyard door was unlocked and the attic door was in tatters. If they really were bad people, they could just barge in.
One had to know that every time Butler Cha came here, he didn't even need to bring the key and could directly enter the house.
The attic was in poor condition.
The fact that they were willing to knock on the door and even show him the contents of the carriage was enough to prove that they weren't bad people. More importantly, the noblewoman had said, "Eden above." That was the catchphrase of those from Birmingham's Eden Academy.
This meant that the noblewoman had a family member from Birmingham's Eden Academy.
Perhaps it was the little girl who was learning the piano.
Uriel was a good teacher himself. Coupled with the recent events, he didn't mind making a few "changes".
Uriel went downstairs and welcomed them into the house.
The first floor was a bit messy, but Butler Cha had tidied it up during the day. At least there was room to sit.
After inviting the family to take a seat, Uriel learned their names.
The sun, the full moon, and the crescent moon.
It was strange, but as an artist, Uriel was very receptive to everything. For example, when he was at Birmingham's Eden Academy, his roommate claimed that there was a girl living in his body and asked Uriel to call her "Princess."
For the next three years, he called her "Princess," and she called him "Prince."
Princess and Prince became his roommate's codenames at the academy.
Perhaps the three people in front of him were the same. They were just codenames.
After they introduced themselves to each other, the lady who claimed to be Full Moon asked impatiently, "Were you the one who played the three songs just now? They were so beautiful! "
Uriel scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. "Yes."
"Come to think of it, I've done a bit of research on the piano, but I've never heard these songs before. I wonder which master composed them? "
"Was it your original work, sir?"
Uriel paused, then quickly shook his head. "No, I learned them from a dream …"
Uriel instinctively explained the situation to Kieran, but he stopped halfway. Learning from a dream? That sounded too magical. No one would believe it.
Maybe he could change the story?
As Uriel pondered, the Moon Lady's eyes flashed. "From a dream? Did you learn from a dream as well? "
Uriel's head snapped up. "Why 'as well'? Did you … "
The Moon Lady nodded. "Yes, I learned from a dream as well. But I don't have a good sense of music, so I didn't remember it."
"Speaking of which, did you really learn these songs from a dream?"
