Miss Bach's Crab Canon

The smell of the air changed, too, no longer of the peace and comfort of home—but of an exotic smell of stink, perfume, and livestock.

But if you look far away, you can see the stars crowded in the night sky, which seems to cover the round moon.Subconsciously, she reached out and touched her shoulder. The over-loose hoodie was clearly no match for Wan Feng...

"Deli Dolly!" Gao Yiyu shouted.

"Hi."

A coin shone on the ground, as if fused with the moonlight.

Really there?She ran over immediately, but staggered a few steps, and her too thin legs almost fell on the bluestone bricks.Hell, I'm even wearing fur slippers that are too big - they fit so well.

"Be careful, traveler of history."

"You, you... just, where is this nonsense!? The seventeenth century... Eisenach! This fucking is definitely Eisenach. Is that thing on the mountain over there a Wartburg? ?!"

"That's right... It seems that I don't need to be a tour guide anymore."

Eisenach is the place where Joannes was born and the hometown of that family.Here, when people talk about their family members, they even say: "That's a Bach", which is what the Bach family musicians mean.

After picking up the coins and standing in the cold wind for a full minute, Gao Yiyu barely calmed down.

I also took advantage of this magical wind of 2020 and started a historical journey... Although the reality has become so false, this is 2020, and it is not unacceptable to encounter this series of bad things.

It's probably late at night now, there are no candles in the surrounding houses, and there are no pedestrians on the road, only the sound of nocturnal animals is the only welcome for her.

Gao Yiyu checked himself hastily. It was really uncomfortable to wear loose clothes because he became a girl, but he had a pack of tissues and a few N95 masks in his pocket—they were gone.Even cell phones are left on the table, referring to the table at home in the 21st century.

"Can I go back?" she asked Coin.

"of course."

I don't know if this is the big devil's lie, but it firmly makes Gao Yiyu feel at ease.

De Lidoli added: "We just need to do a few small things to make sure that Ms. Bach - oh, in this day and age, Ioannis is more appropriate, after all, there is a family of Bach here. In short, we want to make sure that she history will not be a problem."

"Otherwise? Speaking of which, what happened to Joannis."

Gao Yiyu lowered his voice, worried that he would disturb the sleep of some local people and cause trouble for her.Of course, she is still walking in the direction where she can see the mountains, try to leave the urban area first, and wait for the day to talk about the rest.

"Her history is going to be swallowed."

Deli Dolly's voice is also very small, even quieter than the "wheoo, wheoo" of an owl hiding somewhere.

"Then, most of modern music as you know it will collapse along with it."

"What's eating her?"

De Lidori replied with resentment: "A devil that devours music."

This... the great demon Delitoli claimed to love music, and this devil that came out was devouring music... Gao Yiyu pulled his uncomfortable long hair, thought for a while, and always felt that there was something inside.

"Is the devil your wife? Was there a fight?"

"Bah! No... Strictly speaking, we are both females, not wives or husbands."

Are they all female?But...it doesn't seem like she can't be a wife?Gao Yiyu didn't dare to say this, and Deli Duoli might get angry at her again, continue to change the gender on the basis of distorted gender, and even put her in a more troublesome situation.

She nodded obediently, and Deli Duoli immediately continued: "That devil is a terrifying existence beyond your knowledge, but it has been suppressed by those religious things very well. But she has accumulated enough strength and plans to act .”

"Since it's beyond my knowledge, why do you ask me to deal with her?" Gao Yiyu resisted instinctively, with a face of reluctance, "Send me back, and I'll find you someone more powerful."

Deli Dolly ignored her complaints, and just went on to say: "Bach... Joannes' music is the representative of Western church music. It has created a huge amount of music and its popularity is astonishingly high. But the devil wants to erase Joannes's music." Anise's work, which can greatly reduce the power of religion."

Gao Yiyu nodded, which is understandable.

Joannes Sebastian Bach dedicated her entire life to the church and God flawlessly, and wrote a mountain of works that are famous in the world.

Those great and well-ordered music can be called the cornerstone of music.As polyphonic music, they are complex, sophisticated, and logical, more like mathematics than music.

By the way—these pieces are terribly difficult, and I really want to cut off my own hands when I practice them, or travel back to the past and beg Joannis to write less...Gao Yiyu had this idea countless times when he was learning the piano...uh , wait, this seems to have come true... that's all.

In any case, Gao Yiyu loves all her works deeply.

Because during those countless long sleepless nights, or when she buried her head and struggled with her homework, Joannis's rational and always calm music always accompanied Gao Yiyu and brought her a sense of peace.

If there was anything she could do for Joannes, she would have no complaints.

Thinking of this, Gao Yiyu simply took off the fur slippers that got in the way, tied up his socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and just walked on the streets of a foreign country.Compared with before, her steps became more concise and powerful.

She is not far from the outside of the city. This is not an important town, and there are no high and thick walls. The difference in height and height in the mountainous area also leaves a lot of openings.Avoiding the patrolling people, she lowered her breath and stood on tiptoe. The girl's lithe body quickly left the small town and headed for the surrounding suburbs.

It wasn't until she got close to the woods and was surrounded by the damp nature that she finally let go of her guard and communicated with Deridoli more normally.

"First of all, can I trust you?" She patted away the little bug who came to kiss her.

"It doesn't matter whether you trust it or not. I can even distort your history and turn you into a puppet to dominate—but it's meaningless. I love music, and so do you. Then we can cooperate honestly. This is more It was like a deal, an easy deal."

"A deal... My bargaining chip is that I provide help. Will you offer me any reward?"

"The reward is normal in history. You can still go back to your time, change back to the original, and listen to the music of Joannis." Deli Duoli smiled, and then continued, "In addition, I can also give Your one-time power—the power to warp history."

She fell into thinking, and looked at the small town of Eisenach bathed in the moonlight. A sense of contradiction that did not belong to this era filled her whole body and mind.

Coin was surprised by her indifference: "Not interested? You can modify history arbitrarily. You can change yourself to be the richest person in the world, or go to any era you want, and erase everything you want. Hate things, or, add some things you want out of thin air...with this power, basically anything can be done."

This additional reward sounds very attractive, but Gao Yiyu is very wary.Because the more you get, the more you have to give.Not only that, but the probability of the other party's non-compliance is also greater - but I have no other choice, I have been forced to board a pirate ship and come here...

"What do you want me to do?"

"I can defeat that devil, but I can't lure her out, so I asked you to cooperate." Deli Dolly's tone was quite serious, "She regards religious music as her food and her primary goal, so what you have to do It's very simple."

"Play... music?" She suddenly guessed something.

"Yes!"

The great demon's voice was cheerful and high-pitched.

"Before the devil devours Joannis, you can become a bard of this era! Walk around the streets and alleys of this small town, playing her music that does not exist in this era... Let the sweet breath in the notes, sway Into the nostrils of the devil hiding in the dark! Tempt her to appear!"

……

(This new book challenges the theme of music, but this is my old profession, so there is no problem. Generally speaking, if you don’t read these contents, it will not affect the plot at all.)

003. Those who get something for nothing

"But before tempting the devil, I have to worry about myself."

Gao Yiyu didn't sigh or feel depressed, but simply felt that the future was bleak.

Sent to the seventeenth century by Deli Dolly, but you can tell that this is definitely not a romantic trip.

Although it's embarrassing just thinking about it, but...Gao Yiyu knows how good-looking his ridiculous pretty face is now, and it would be very dangerous in the modern era with good law and order, let alone this era of frequent wars and turmoil No... She also has a conspicuous oriental face.

Even if the place where she is located is a sacred place for bards and classical music, and has a good reputation in history, it is still very dangerous.

"Delidoori."

"Bard who lingers in history, why did you call me?" Under the moonlight, the devil responded pompously.

"Leaving aside the battle with the devil, my safety in this era...have you considered it? If you die halfway without seeing the devil, it will be a loss to you."

"Don't worry, your history will not be written in this way." With a sneer, Deli Duoli said proudly.

Gao Yiyu felt a little relieved, and started to walk around slowly, which helped to think.

Speaking of which, this place cannot actually be called Germany.In terms of jurisprudence, it belongs to the Holy Roman Empire of Germany... If it is further subdivided, in this era, within the scope of Germany, lords, large and small, each managed their own principalities, and wars broke out everywhere, which was quite divided.

And where he is, is one of the small broken places called Weimar Principality.

Although the territory of this thing is small and small, it is firmly the soul of German culture.

In the Middle Ages, the vicinity of Weimar was the holy city of music for bards. As a music lover, it would be nice if you could really leave some notes here...even if they are destined to disappear in the wind.

In terms of performance, she remembers many famous songs by Joannis. She should be able to play them after practicing a few times. The polyphonic music of the Baroque era has obvious characteristics, and it is not difficult to achieve it.

But these pieces have one thing in common - they all need instruments to play.

She stretched out her hands, bathed in the moonlight, quiet and demure.

But there are no musical instruments at all...

"Damn it, you just threw me here with nothing!" She paced around with her arms folded, and suddenly thought of something, "Dreidoli, can you move freely on the coin?"

The devil lazily replied: "Of course, my existence rests on the concept of 'coin', not a specific one, otherwise I would die of old age in the merit box."

very good!Sure enough, Gao Yiyu snapped his fingers, happy to confirm his idea: "Then let's get some start-up funds? You can try to move around and see if there are suitable parasitic objects around."

"Around? What are you thinking about? How can anyone drop money on the ground? Beggars all ask for QR codes... ah... and... there are." Deli Duoli's mocking tone stopped abruptly, and changed to self-deprecating, "In the era I am used to the cutting-edge of the world, and I almost forgot that human beings have used physical currency.”

"Then, lead the way."

"okay."

……

The unknown trees are not dense, and the moonlight is enough to fall through the gaps in the leaves.

The mud made of fallen leaves is very fertile, and the overgrown vegetation is very obstructive.

There were no human footprints nearby, so Gao Yiyu picked up a wooden stick casually, beat it all the way, and then walked along the safe place he had explored.The breath of the forest has nothing to do with the sudden change of the times, it is still fresh-of course, the same is true for mosquitoes and small snakes.

"Seriously, does anyone really lose money in this place?"

"Trust me, there are still thirty steps, and then you will come to the carriageway, there is what you want."

The devil speaks with certainty, as if he has seen everything about the future.

But in order to resist the devil's curse and the established destiny!Gao Yiyu deliberately took big steps, and reached the place in only twenty steps.

Delidoori let out a grunt of obvious displeasure at this, but said nothing in the end.Of course, on the way, her humming disappeared from the coins in Gao Yiyu's pocket, and instead, abruptly - it sounded from the grass again.

Gao Yiyu stretched out the wooden stick, gently pushed aside the innocent ferns, and saw a flicker.

"...This is?" She picked up the coin, raised her brows, because her hand sank unexpectedly.

With enough bright moonlight, eyes that had already adapted, stared at the coin in surprise, it...it...is it gold?

Around the less rounded coins, there is a circle of regular tooth marks.Inwardly, the Latin alphabet is cast in a circle around the most central figure.That is the old man who wears the crown, wears the Washington, and will let the sword lie on his shoulder.

This coin is slightly rough, but the texture and color of gold are really wonderful.

Unlike the flooded and depreciated gold coins in games and film and television works, just such a small one can make Gao Yiyu's heart beat instinctively.

"Hey, the Ducat of Saxony!" Gold Coin spoke by himself, and introduced himself in an exaggerated tone, "This is a fine Ducat gold coin! Quite valuable!"

"This? Should I call myself 'I'?"

Unlike the one-dollar chrysanthemum coin before, the current Deli Dolly is so attractive.From this point of view, it seems interesting to cooperate with this demon...

"But it's a pity..." Jin Coin sighed for himself, "Touch my back, is there an inconspicuous gap?"

Gao Yiyu did - indeed.It's like a small hole in the perfect porcelain and a corner of the beautiful ice sculpture melted. This gold coin is missing a small part, and you have to touch it carefully to feel it.

Fortunately, when touching it, Deli Duoli didn't let out a weird panting, it seems that it doesn't have this function... Gao Yiyu breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise both parties would feel very strange when touching it.

"Hmph, this is a little invention that the Jews had in Bible times. It's called coin clipping. They use various means to get a part of the precious metal from the coins, collect them and melt them into silver or gold bars, while the coins still have the original price. Use it out."

"Sounds like... a felony..."

Without waiting for Deli Duoli to answer, Gao Yiyu squeezed the gold coin tightly and told himself not to use it at the original value, otherwise he might cause trouble for himself, for example, he was the one who was accused of cutting the gold coin.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you lose a little value, anyway, it's for nothing...

To be on the safe side, Gao Yiyu simply picked up some mud and finely crushed stones, and dawdled against the gold coin for a while to make it look more natural and mottled, in case someone would recognize the lost coin and cause other troubles.

Speaking of which, Gao Yiyu didn't notice a problem until now.

Be happy to spend money - there is also a threshold.

"Do I know German?"

"Of course, you have been pinched again, and your history has been touched by me. In addition to German, you can also speak Latin. It's convenient."

Huh?This... picked up two languages ​​​​for no reason?It seems that it was a new function added by the other party when Deli Dolly distorted the gender and changed the body?

But if you think about it carefully, from the perspective of Deli Dolly, this must be regarded as a preparatory act such as "improving tools and sharpening the blade".Then I am not actually a bard, but a bard tool...

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, but there is still an hour before dawn." Deli Dolly teased from the pinched gold coin, "Walk along the road and pick up a few more coins. By the way, you Do you know what instruments bards generally use in this era?"

Lute?Gao Yiyu's first reaction was this.

But she immediately shook her head and corrected herself, because unlike the descriptions in a large number of literary and artistic film and television works, bards of secular music in Europe at the moment don't actually use lutes very much... that stuff is more religious and court instruments.

Bivila?It's not... This is from the Renaissance period, and it's not a short distance from now.
