Silent Crown Chapter 71: Redeem
Avalon Upper Town in the afternoon.
On the busy street, a towering white marble building occupies the golden zone of Avalon. Within the black iron gate, the vestibule is sparsely visible.
is at the end of the vestibule. Among the arches guarded by the statues of the saints on both sides, the door to the hall of the Musician Association is open. Even in the daytime, it is lit up, slightly diluting the cold and gloomy style
Here, people come and go quietly. In a solemn atmosphere, everyone's face is serious and solemn.
This is the Avalon branch of the Musicians Association.
across the street, and Westminster Abbey opposite it.
is different from the silence of the Musicians’ Association, in front of the cathedral, there are busy and noisy people.
The carriage of believers stopped continuously. Or merchants come with money orders and holy emblems in their hands to exchange money or store banknotes.
For hundreds of years, these two iconic buildings have been standing on the Queen’s Road in Avalon. One has safeguarded the kingdom from being destroyed by demons, and the other has maintained Angelo’s economy, finances and civilians. Our lives, together with the royal family, propped up the sky of this country.
And now, outside the door of the Musicians Association, in a luxurious carriage, several noble youths are waiting anxiously.
"That's what he said?"
Edmund's eyes were cold. The bruise on his face hadn't disappeared, his eyes were puffy and looked a little ridiculous, but the cold light in those eyes made Barthes shudder.
"That's right." Bart gritted his teeth: "He said he wants you to kneel down and apologize, and become the academy's eternal laughing stock."
"Since this is the case, I can't keep them..." Edmund's eyes became more and more sinister, "It seems that I am too naive. After all, I am a pariah, and I can't expect them to know good and bad."
"Bart," Edmund's puffy eyelids were slightly upturned, "You know that you will lose your hand in the competition, and the academy will always prepare some ‘casualty quota’ regulations..."
"You are going to give them to..."
Bart's expression twitched, and he stopped talking.
was clearly in the carriage, but he seemed to smell the stench from the sewer. In the murky torrents of the Thames, the pale corpses will also float into the sea and disappear.
It's a pity, that girl, tender and slender, is going to disappear into the drain...
"Let them be proud for a few more days, after all,'life is short'."
Edmund's mouth is savage: "When my uncles come back, I will make them look good!"
"Are you sure?" Bart asked in a low voice, "What if your uncle doesn't want to take care of this?"
"Impossible!" He rubbed his aching nose: "In the family, my uncle loves me the most. He won't let a black neck ride on my head."
Edmund's eyes darkened, "When I borrow the'Dragon's Breath Ring', let the **** see what the end is! The tutor present can't save him!"
Bart suddenly felt his heart cold, and fell silent.
-
While waiting, a servant crouched at the corner of the road seemed to have discovered something. He turned his head and shook his hat in the direction of the carriage. Everyone was shocked:
"Come on! Come on!"
Just as everyone was watching, at the corner of the road, a line of people galloping with horses appeared.
On the well-regulated Queen's Road, the group of people in gray cloak drove the steeds under the crotch and came all the way. It is as if they have experienced the wind and dust, everyone's face is full of wind and frost.
Some of them wore swords, and they also had bows and crossbows that were strictly forbidden to be carried by civilians. Others were injured, and red blood oozes under the bandages.
The most frightening thing is the heads hanging from their saddles. The faces of those heads are covered by withered long hair. Four sharp teeth are intertwined in the big cracked mouth. On both sides, there are sharp ears that are different from ordinary humans.
——Yueling.
It is the dark race that has fallen from the human race, a race of twisted demons created by the Dark Earth Mother.
This monster who is good at pretending to be human and hidden in human society has always been a frequent visitor on the Musician Association's Wanted List. Once exposed to the moonlight, these seemingly elegant creatures who are good at archery and magnificent swordsmanship can't help their desire for blood and become blood-sucking monsters.
Following the leading middle-aged man reined his horse, a group of teams stopped at the door of the musician.
He rolled over and got off his horse, took off his dust-proof cloak and handed it to his subordinates. Under the cloak is an aristocratic hunting suit that does not show any embarrassment on the journey.
He took off the gloves on his hands that were stained with dried blood, and put on new, pure white gloves. So, in a short time, he changed from a dusty traveler to a nobleman, dressed again.
Seeing him, Edmund's eyes lit up.
"Uncle!"
-
Outside the gate, the middle-aged man talked and laughed with his entourage, walked into the association, but heard a voice from behind.
"Uncle! Uncle Bradley!"
The man's footsteps paused, and his eyes lit up: "Little Edmund? It's been a long time since I saw you."
He laughed and walked to his nephew, full of relief: "I heard that you were admitted to the Royal Conservatory of Music, and my uncle was very happy to hear it in the field.
are you here to pick me up? "
He gave his nephew a hug, and when he examined it carefully, his brow furrowed: "What's the matter with your face."
"It's just a trivial matter."
Edmund smiled obediently: "I heard that you were ordered to eradicate those fallen moon spirits? How did you gain? I have been praying for you to come back as soon as possible these days."
"A group of pointed ears is not a threat."
Bradley took him forward: "It’s just that there was some trouble looking for the local guide. A group of frightened civilians heard that the important person was leading the way, but they all hid and lost Ange. Lu people’s face."
"The untouchables dare to refuse the call of the nobility?" Edmund asked in astonishment.
Bradley snorted, "Her Majesty is too indecisive to those who clamor for human rights, and even the serfs have become ignorant of good and bad.
Don’t worry, I don’t lack the wisdom and means to rectify those cowards. "
"Don't talk about these trivial things. The contribution value obtained from this mission is very rich, and it didn't let me go for nothing."
Bradley walked into the lobby of the association and stared at the list on the pillar, his eyes heated up: "After working hard for so long, it's time to reap the fruits."
In the lobby of the Musicians Association, there are always three stone monuments erected in the center,
These three steles had been erected on the foundation before the entire building was constructed. As the building was perfected, different equipment and ether circuits were continuously connected, and finally dozens of advanced alchemists were employed. With the collaboration of the musicians, hundreds of chapters of music scores were inscribed, which finally formed the current pattern.
The three stone tablets will display different content according to the instructions of the musicians. One of the stone tablets records all the reward tasks and the contribution value after completion for the musicians to receive.
Including the crusade against natural disasters, hunting down hidden black musicians, and the monsters that appeared in the clearing of the kingdom's territory.
The reward is shown on a stone monument in the center.
Alchemy equipment that can be redeemed through contribution points, as well as musical instruments and music scores, including manuscripts by masters and even saints of the past dynasties, and even legendary music scores such as "Gothenburg Variations" and "Solemn Mass".
and the legendary musical instrument forged by the Holy Spirit. As long as the contribution value is reached, even the legendary artifact such as the "Horn of Heaven" can be exchanged for it.
The last stone monument is the ranking of musicians from all over the world. This is the result of the evaluation of the holy city based on the tasks and actions of the musicians themselves. You can choose whether to display or not according to the wishes of the musician himself.
Of course, the three kings will always occupy the top of the list, followed by the saints such as Haydn, Chopin, Shi Kuang, Bo Ya and so on.
This is the meaning of the existence of the Musician Association. Through the cooperation and efforts of all parties, the resources are concentrated, and the unsophisticated musicians are guided to make real contributions to the world.
And this time, Bradley did not hesitate to go out for a month. What he did was a rare blessed alchemy item—the Twin Snake Timepiece.
In the seven elements of musicians, the summoning element masters the animal nature, the chanting element explores life, the illusion element is immersed in nothingness, the mind image controls the soul, the enlightenment element is eager for the future, and the enlightenment element is forbidden to focus on the ether...
Among them, the number of musicians is undoubtedly the Variation Department.
The musicians of this faction are good at mastering the nature and changes of all things, including battlefield musicians who are extremely lethal, and alchemists who are good at forging items and making alchemical equipment and instruments through runes and music scores.
In addition to his own power, a musician must rely on foreign objects.
If equipped with good equipment, a rhythm-level third-tier ordinary musician can even take advantage of the resonance-level powerhouses who break the ‘obstacle of knowledge’ and resonate with the world.
Alchemy equipment itself is also a scarce item. Once it flows out, it is often sold out. Those who are eligible to be on the redemption list are all boutiques.
Among them, some can make people come and go like wind, some can inspire different movements, and some can bless the musician himself with powerful auxiliary effects.
includes Bradley’s "Twin Snake Timepiece" that Bradley has been thinking about for some time. The third chapter of the "Brandenburg Concerto" is inscribed on it.
Its function is to double the musician's induction of ether in one minute!
Although it is not effective for musicians of rank 6 or above, it can only be used once a week, but it is enough to attract people! If you seize the right time in the battle and let your sense and control of the ether double in an instant, even if it is only a short minute, the outcome will be completely reversed.
The price required for this kind of treasure-level alchemical equipment is naturally high, and the price is a full two thousand contribution value, but it is already worth the money.
Ordinary people who get this kind of thing will never exchange it out, but because the seller has spent too long at the musician level and has no hope of understanding, so they simply broke the boat and collected a large amount of contribution value to exchange for the materials for the'Resonance Ceremony'. To break through the'obstacle of knowledge and vision'!
Otherwise, this precious piece of equipment handed down from ancestors will never be sold through the Musician Association.
If you let others know, you will definitely break your head to **** it from Bradley. However, one week later, this piece of equipment numbered ST101 was never shown on the redemption list.
-
Thinking of this, Bradley couldn't help laughing smugly.
On the day it was sold, Bradley knew in advance about the existence of this equipment through his friends in the association~IndoMTL.com~ and spent a lot of money to drill the loopholes in the process.
Generally speaking, after an item is registered in the association, it can be redeemed. But at this time, it will take some time for identification and preservation before it officially appears on the'redeem list'.
According to previous regulations, this process must be completed within a week. However, part of the process has been simplified over the years, and it will not take half a day between these two steps.
That is to say, Bradley has one week more preparation time than others. As long as the item is exchanged within this week, no one will know that this item has existed, and he can have more A hole card that no one knows.
With uncontrollable ecstasy, Bradley came to the front desk and showed his own credentials and proof of mission completion.
After the front desk, the teller looked up at the heavy classics beside him. On the pages of the classics, silver fonts wandered, revealing Bradley's message.
"Congratulations, Mr. Bradley. Your contribution value has increased to 2041 points."
Hearing the teller’s words, Bradley’s face showed undisguised complacency: "Help me redeem the serial number ST101, the Double Snake timepiece. Move faster, I can’t wait."
"Ok, wait a minute."
The teller opened the classics and read the association's records and files through the altered handwriting in the classics. After a while, there was a trace of astonishment on his face:
"Sorry, sir, the Double Snake timepiece has been exchanged."
