Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

When Esther returned to the bedroom, it was hard to tell whether she was nervous, vigilant or excited. She had to hold her hand and sit on the sofa. It was hard to believe that the score was written by Norn.

She recalled what she had memorized just now. Although she couldn't speak Russian, Esther could hum vaguely and intermittently. Some subtle transitions were more abrupt than the original song, but the overall difference was not big.

coincide?The legacy of the traversers?Emperor Roselle never left behind this song!Are there other traversers in this world?But Norn he-

"Why are you so excited and noisy," Xiao Wu in his pocket popped up, dissatisfied, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, I just think everything is weird." Esther poked its head, causing Xiao Wu's great dissatisfaction.

"If there's nothing wrong, calm down! Being flustered won't help!" Xiao Wu shrank back cursing.

Esther calmed down quickly after her thoughts were interrupted. She agreed with Xiao Wu's words, and after taking a few deep breaths, she made up her mind to ask Nuo En for clarification.

But her intuition moved, someone was walking up the stairs and knocked on Esther's door first.

Galwin's lazy voice always came from outside with a smile: "Luna? Are you inside?"

Estelle opened the door, and the pair of large sunglasses caught her eyes: "Good evening, what's the matter?"

"Heard Rich said you were going to their Sunday concert?"

"Yes, go and see, at least you can be a regular audience."

Galwin touched his chin: "Can you play the violin?"

"will not."

"It's a pity, the elf of music still has an instrument that he doesn't understand?"

Esther said with a smile: "Just because I can play the piano doesn't mean I'm proficient in all instruments. Candela said that you don't play the violin very well, or you should be honest and be an audience."

Galwin showed a bright smile, showing his white teeth: "I follow your orders, dear little sheep. It's a pity that I can't serenade you."

"Can you really serenade?"

"Of course—no," Galwin's smile quickly disappeared, "Ladies who are too sensitive can easily see through the tricks of gentlemen, so they won't be popular."

Esther spread her hands indifferently: "I don't care about that."

"Won't Sunday affect your work? Mrs. Manette probably won't let go of this good opportunity, but everyone is looking forward to your coming. After all, it takes a lot of people to be lively."

"Of course I will go, I will not let everyone down, how come I am also a member of the No. [-] apartment on Lily of the Valley Street, right?" Esther laughed.

"Ricky was just saying that you named that piece of music? Could it be that Mr. Teacher secretly showed it to you?"

Esther shook her head: "No, I just suddenly had an inspiration and thought the name was very suitable. I was just going to talk to Norn about it."

However, Galwin pointed at the door of Room [-] behind him: "It's better to change the time. Mr. Teacher spent several days to write that piece of music. When he returned to the room this afternoon, he still had dark circles under his eyes. Now Should still be catching up on sleep."

"He's actually working so hard?" Esther's desire to prove it faded away, and instead she became worried about Norn's health. He seems to be getting more and more haggard recently, which is a good confirmation of Galwin's words.

Galwin nodded, pushed the sunglasses, and the eyes under the lenses were focusing on observing all the subtle changes in Esther's expression: "So let's be considerate of him, keep this surprise, and witness the 'Apartment Seven Orchestra' together until the weekend It’s a masterpiece. Maybe I, as an audience, will be able to laugh at Rich’s whimsy as much as I want.”

"He should take a good rest. Being a teacher is not an easy job, after all, he has to teach so many children."

"Hey, what a considerate little sheep, if you're free now we can go to a nearby bar for a drink—"

"boom!"

Esther's door was closed, and Galwin's body was well timed to lean back, avoiding the bad luck of getting his nose crushed.

This is the method Agnes taught Esther, specifically for the "way of getting along" with Galvin Leples. Esther can't hit people as smartly as Candela, but she decisively closes the door She is already very skilled.

Galwin resentfully rubbed the tip of his nose that he almost bumped into, and chuckled lightly, not feeling depressed at all.He glanced back at Norn's closed door, knowing that his purpose of preventing "Luna" from appeasing Norn had been achieved, and the smile on Galwin's face was joyful and sly.

Always listening to the wrong voice and being attracted to it, of course it will kill you, Mr. Teacher, how long can you hold on without losing control?

Galvin hummed the minutiae completely out of tune as he descended the stairs.

-

Sunday pm comes quickly.

Martha reluctantly allowed Esther to take a leave of absence, using her two Wednesdays off this week and next week to offset it, and Esther readily agreed to such an extremely unfair exchange.

After all, Sunday is the time when the traffic is the highest. If Esther is not in the store, those expecting customers will probably be reduced by half, and the remaining half will also have a lot of complaints.

But leave those headaches to Martha, Esther got permission to take a leave of absence, and planned to spend the day with her friends in the apartment.

Esther put on the linen dress and slim waistcoat she was most used to, and the wide-brimmed Bonnet braided hat she bought two days ago, and cut her hair in front of the half-length mirror.When she passed by that shop, she caught sight of this design decorated with sunflowers, and bought it for eight soli, which can be said to have caused the wallet that was not rich to experience a hemorrhage.

Why is it so difficult to save money!

Esther feels like this every time she spends money, but it doesn’t stop her from filling the desk with novels, paper and pens, putting new clothes in the closet, covering the sofa with a newly woven woolen blanket, and recalling the past in her mind. and humming those scores.

Getting ready soon, when Esther went downstairs, she found that Rich was already waiting at the door with a face full of excitement, carrying a suitcase with a length and width of about half a meter in his hand, but apart from him The others haven't come down yet.

"Hey hey, I've been practicing for a long time when I'm not in class, I'm sure I'll be fine today!" Ricky stood on tiptoe excitedly from time to time, and the freckles on his face were shining brightly from when everyone had lunch together.

Galvin invited all the people in the apartment to dinner today. He booked a lunch delivery at Intis Restaurant early on, but according to Galwin, the taste of this restaurant is completely incomparable with that of Serenzo Restaurant in the West District. The Ormere red wine and Intis-style foie gras are worth a try.

Esther was very tempted at first, but after Nuo En quietly told her that the price of that wine started at [-] gold, the idea of ​​trying it instantly became a joke.

When Norn handed the fork and knife to Esther, he said to her in a low voice: "Galwin never mentioned his family situation, but he was never short of money."

Esther had to admit she was a little envious.

Esther and Rich didn't wait long at the door of the apartment. Soon, Agnes and Josephine came down arm in arm. Agnes was holding her handbag and was talking to Josephine with her mouth covered. What Fern said made Josephine laugh like silver bells.

When Kendela, Norn, and Galwin also gathered downstairs, a group of people walked towards the fountain square.

Kendela opened her shoulder bag, pulled out two maracas painted with colorful skull patterns, and stuffed them directly into Esther's hand: "Just shake it a few times."

Esther shook the instrument in her hand, listening to the "rustling" collision sound inside: "What about you?"

"I brought a drum, because I was too lazy to spend money to buy it, so I nailed it with iron sheets." Candela said blankly, "Anyway, it's just to match Rich."

"I heard from Rich that Candela is very good at making things. The wind chime by Josephine's window is his design and your work. It is an admirable manipulative ability."

Candela's dark skin made it difficult for her to be seen blushing, but her eyes were more dodged, and she subconsciously played with her feather earrings with her fingers: "That's nothing, if you like it, you can make one for you. "

"That's not necessary, I just sigh with emotion."

Esther cast her eyes on the people walking in front, Agnes was reprimanding Calvin with her head held high, Josephine and Rich were laughing non-stop, Norn also had a gentle smile on her face However, he always kept a distance of two steps from the other people.

-

On the fountain square of Lily of the Valley Street, many people are walking. Sunday is a holiday for most people to rest. Men, women, young and old walk in this area where the edge can be seen at a glance, enjoying the afternoon of Backlund through the clouds. Hazy warm sun.

Rich stood generously in front of the fountain, opened the suitcase he was carrying, and attracted the curious eyes of several people nearby.

Candela took out a tin tambourine, Agnes took out Josephine's triangle and her own harmonica from her handbag, Norn took out a few sheets of paper from her bosom, the score on it was full of traces of scribbles , the paper itself is full of wrinkles, and there are even two torn fractures, but it barely maintains its integrity.

Galwin sat down on the edge of the fountain, put his hands on his sides and looked up at the sky, looking rather bored watching the other people getting ready, not caring that the hem of the windbreaker was wet by the splashed water.

Esther clenched the maraca in her hand, her heart beating faster: "We haven't rehearsed, is it really okay?"

"Of course it's fine, we're not professionals." Josephine comforted her, "Just follow the beat of Rich's music."

The sound of the harmonica is the accompaniment at the beginning, and the low-pitched tone has a peculiar buzzing, and then the melodious accordion replaces the lead singer, controlling the main theme and direction of the song, making the overall atmosphere cheerful and high-spirited, and the tin tambourine is beaten The beat is three light and one empty, and the crisp triangle will ring every time the accordion eases.

It was very messy and funny. A song "Birch Forest" that was slightly out of tune because there was no unified conductor sounded in a different world, making Esther's eyes gradually moist.

Almost halfway through the performance, when the harmonica interludes, Rich looked over suspiciously, and Josephine also looked at Esther who had never started shaking the maraca in a strange way, and nudged the dazed "band" with her elbow. member".

Instinctively, Esther took a step forward, raising her arms in front of her body, as if what she was holding in her hands was no longer a maraca with painted skulls, but a microphone. She closed her eyes to resist the pain in the center of her right eyebrow, He quickly revised the translation of the lyrics in his mind and converted it into Loen language, completing the translation work in just a few seconds.

At the same time as the next accordion sounded, Esther also spoke:

"Sitting by the path with a loved one,

Know I'll come back, don't grieve,

The old lady waved me goodbye,
The small door behind me slowly closed.

Why do birches rustle in dark places?
Why does the accordion sound so beautiful?
The fingertips of the wind pass by, the leaves fall all over the sky,

And the last piece also fell to the ground..."

Norn was trembling, and the score that he had "listened" with painstaking efforts fell to the ground. He resisted the urge to laugh, and closed his eyes with tears streaming down his face, enjoying the singing that resonated wonderfully with him. The extraordinary power that had been restless for a while also returned to docile.

The frenzied raving faded from Norn's ears, and the only remaining voices echoed Esther's gentle song.

Norn believed that he had found the "Zoya" of the Lord.

In the square, there were only two or three people looking here, but after the singing sounded, more and more footsteps came here, surrounding this small and disorderly orchestra, and the accordion lowered down, whistling like a harmonica. With the accompaniment, let the singing become clearer and clearer.

Esther's voice is not loud, but it is full of appeal, making the gathered people look melancholy, as if they are walking into the story in the lyrics, and resonate with the sad fate of leaving their hometown.

The invisible connection brings these people who don't necessarily know each other together, and more and more people have tears on their faces.They didn't even know why they were crying, but in that soft and flowing singing voice, apart from crying quietly, they completely lost the ability to think about the current situation.

Even the children in the stroller silently rubbed their red eyes from crying without making any noise.

A few white doves folded their wings and landed beside the fountain, so quiet that they didn't even make a "cuckoo" sound. Two larks who heard the sound were even bolder and flew down on Esther's shoulders.

Josephine and Agnes also had tears on their faces. Ricky's eye sockets were as red as his hair, but he still had a bright smile on his face, staring at Esther who was concentrating on singing.

Galwin's eyes under the sunglasses opened wider and wider, filled with fear, panic, and more unreasonable excitement and longing. He was probably the most sober person in the entire square. When everyone was emotionally affected by the singing, Galwin Wen had a panoramic view of their changes.

He looked at the blonde girl in the center of the singing, and his heart was shocked.

The singing voice is still echoing, flying over the shoulders of the crowd and flying further:

"My heart boils and burns again and again,
But always get no response.

Birch leaves fall on their shoulders,

Like me, out of the place where I grew up..."

Galwin touched his cheek, only to realize that tears were falling uncontrollably.
