Main Text Volume Chapter 1330 Magazine Follow-Up

Sky Mechanical City is as prosperous as ever.

In the commercial district with the most people, in the center of the crowd, a melodious music suddenly sounded. The melody is soothing and elegant, making people slow down their pace to listen carefully.

The noisy streets became a little quiet because of this music.

Because the music is too melodious, people can't help but chase the source of the sound.

In the middle of the crowd, on the edge of a three-story elegant fountain, there is a young man with slightly long and curly hair, closing his eyes, holding a saxophone in his hand, playing without distraction.

The image of the young man is casual, unrestrained, and uninhibited.

With his elegant music, people can't help but explore the story behind this uninhibited prodigal.

After the song ended, everyone hadn't heard enough, and they all wanted the young man to play another one. However, the young man's actions made everyone a little dumbfounded.

He lazily took out a basin from the package behind him, and then put the basin in front of a person nearby with a smile on his face. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Begging for money.

The person being begged twitched his lips and cursed inwardly. Seeing that people around him were looking at him, he felt embarrassed to give nothing. He could only touch his nose and bear the pain, and took a small cut magic crystal and threw it to the young prodigal.

But the begging young man was not satisfied. He held the basin in front of the people around him and begged one by one.

This made everyone angry, but the young man was very thick-skinned and smiled and said: "Because I have to participate in the Rising Star Competition, I don’t have any extra money on me, so I can only ask for help from everyone."

When they heard that this young man was going to participate in the Rising Star Competition, everyone’s expressions softened a little. After all, those who dared to participate in the Rising Star Competition should not be weak.

It’s not bad to be able to have some relationship with the players participating in the Rising Star Competition.

Passers-by with this idea all paid some money when facing the young man’s begging. Although everyone gave very little, if you count carefully, the total amount is not small.

At this time, in the higher clouds in the sky, two people wearing law enforcement uniforms silently watched the scene below.

One of the weaker apprentices frowned and said in a tone that was not sure whether it was indignation or jealousy: "Captain, should we stop him? It's so abominable. There are so many people who give him money for a business with no capital!"

The law enforcement captain in charge of the commercial area, whose strength is generally a formal wizard, looked at the angry team members beside him and said: "It's okay, he knows his limits."

"Know your limits? What do you mean?" The law enforcement team member asked in confusion.

"This guy only comes once every three days, plays a piece of music every time, and leaves as soon as he finishes playing. It won't cause any major impact, nor will it cause traffic jams, so we have no excuse to stop him." The law enforcement captain explained.

After listening to this, the law enforcement team members became even more dissatisfied. Listening to the captain's tone, it is obvious that this young man has been doing this for a long time. If he can earn so many magic crystals every time, it will be very unpleasant to watch!

But since the captain let him go, as an ordinary team member, he can only endure it.

"He has to rely on performing to make a living. I don't think he can get a good ranking in the Rising Star Competition." The law enforcement team member couldn't help but mutter.

After hearing this, the law enforcement captain laughed: "He said he was participating in the competition, did you believe it?"

"Ah?"

The law enforcement captain shook his head and said: "This guy is not an ordinary person. He is a spirit. The real contestant is the person behind him."

The unruly young man discussed by the law enforcement team was just as they said. After playing a song and begging for money, he disappeared in the crowd with his gorgeous saxophone.

The young man took two steps at a time and soon came to the door of a narrow alley in the commercial district.

Although this alley is located in the downtown area, the entrance of the alley is full of unknown experimental garbage, emitting a rolling stench, so not many people go in.

The young man didn't care about the stench and stepped directly into the alley. Not long after walking, he saw a young man leaning against the mottled wall, holding a book in his hand, reading seriously in the weak light of the wall-mounted gas street lamp, with a fascination in his eyes.

"My dear master, do you no longer like Heidian?" The young man pretended to be hurt.

The young man who was reading a book slowly raised his head, looking confused.

"Your favorite Heidian has been back for two minutes now, and you didn't look at me, but at this broken book." The young man picked up the saxophone and pointed at the book in the boy's hand, "So, do you no longer like Heidian?"

After the young man who called himself "Heidian" finished speaking, his figure suddenly changed into a plump and charming woman with a pipe in his hand: "Or does the master like this image more?"

The young man said unhappily: "Heidian, stop making trouble, change back quickly!"

Although Heidian wanted to continue teasing his little master, he also knew where the bottom line was. He could still hold back now. If he continued, the little master would probably blush and get angry.

Heidian suddenly changed into an elegant middle-aged man wearing a black windbreaker with gold embroidery.

"Master, this is what I got today. Although they are all cut magic crystals, the total should be more than 10 complete magic crystals." Heidian took out a bag of magic crystals from his pocket.

The boy's eyes flashed with surprise: "Sure enough, the people in Sky Mechanical City are very rich. I can even beg for 10 magic crystals. This is much more than what I earned in a month of work before!"

After the boy took the magic crystal, he took out three magic crystals from it and handed them to Heidian, saying: "Please go to the bookstore to buy me another copy of "Yingdu Yeyu". You can use the remaining money yourself."

Modian looked at the book in the boy's hand in confusion: "Didn't I buy it this morning? Why do you want to buy it again?"

The boy spread out the cover of the magazine and pointed to the figure on it that was modified by the painter with a brush and said: "Did you see it? This is Angel, my best friend! This is the first time he is the cover character of "Yingdu Yeyu". Naturally, I have to buy an extra copy to keep as a treasure."

Heidian also knew Angel. He had seen Angel before he became a spirit. It can be said that Angel and Nausicaa are equally important in the master's heart.

Looking at the figure on the cover of the magazine, this is the first time Heidian has seen Angel after becoming a spirit.

Handsome, young and full of youthful determination.

"Why did Angel appear on the cover of "Yingdu Yeyu"? "Heidian asked curiously.

"Because he did something big." The young man said with some complacency, as if he was talking about himself: "I didn't expect that Angel would have such a rough and bizarre experience. I really want to meet him and ask about the situation at that time. What is the Lord of the Ice Valley like? Where did the source fire go? And..."

As soon as he started talking, he kept chattering.

"I don't know if he will come to the Rising Star Competition? Probably not. His current strength should not be enough to participate in the Rising Star Competition... Alas, it seems that I can only wait until after the competition and return to the Savage Cave to see him again."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the main topic: "By the way, hurry up and buy me a copy of "Yingdu Yeyu". If it's a little later, it will be bad if it's not sold."

Heidian nodded helplessly and walked out of the alley.

At this time, with the light of the alley, the joy in the boy's eyes was reflected. In the changing light and shadow, this person can be seen. It is Sailum who came to the Sky Mechanical City to participate in the Rising Star Competition.

…

There is a city called Paradova near the edge of the North Sea in Yirong.

The city is divided into the new city and the deserted city. The architecture of the new city is very consistent with the style of Yirong, with reinforced concrete and steam machinery everywhere. The sky is gray and full of industrial waste gas.

The deserted city is actually a deserted urban area, separated from the new city by a river.

The architectural style of the deserted city is the style of Yirong in the past, full of religious Byzantine architecture. Although there are similar buildings in the new city now, there are all kinds of steam machinery around, which seems to lack a religious flavor.

The deserted city is basically deserted, with only a few wanderers and some poor people living here.

The tall dome building has not been maintained, and there are fragments everywhere, with a sense of doomsday ruins after the destruction of the religious city.

At this time, the sunset has just fallen, and the stars and the moon have just woken up. The thin night gradually drives away the sunset and invades the earth.

In the deserted city, on the top of a church that was once used for religious worship, a young wizard apprentice sits cross-legged here.

This is a witch wearing a blue-black wizard costume. The costume looks very old. The only two highlights of the whole person are the bright red dancing shoes and the bright red bow.

A broom is floating around her. The style of the broom is very interesting. There is a curved design on the handle. A portable oil lamp with a black frame and transparent glass on all sides is hung on the curved part.

The light brought by the oil lamp allows the witch to read the letter smoothly.

This letter was sent by her mentor. The first sentence at the beginning is the corny "Dear Qi Li", which makes her shudder.

After reading the letter quickly, 99% of the content is about expressing longing, and the remaining 1% is not a topic. There is only one sentence: "There should be a magazine with the letter. You can take a look. It will definitely surprise you."

Although Qi Li cursed Kant for being indecent, she folded the letter seriously and put it into the bag around her waist solemnly.

After doing all this, Qili called out softly, "Luna, is there a magazine with the letter?"

After a slight "meow", a young black cat suddenly ran out of the dark deserted city. Although it was small in size, it was very agile. Taking advantage of various landing points, it quickly jumped to Qili's side.

After the little black cat landed, it rubbed at Qili's feet for a while, and then took out a magazine that was twice as big as its face from the bell on its neck.

"Firefly City Night Talk"? Why would the teacher let me read this kind of gossip magazine... Hey, isn't this him?" Qili looked at the book cover with some suspicion in her eyes?

Why does the character on the cover look more and more like Ingres?

Originally, Qili didn't want to read a magazine like "Firefly City Night Talk" that was biased towards gossip and miscellaneous news, but now she turned the page with curiosity.
