Main Text Chapter 1362: Performing Arts

Under the breeze, thin clouds and mist lingered on the street.

Accompanied by melodious music, a sense of quiet comfort rose in the hearts of people passing by Mangshi Magic Material Street.

Like everyone else, Angel quietly watched the man playing the saxophone by the fountain.

This was a young man in a black tuxedo, with slightly long and curly hair. As the music played, his body swayed gently in the rhythm.

The young man was immersed in the music he played, as if he had blocked all the information from the outside world, and only he was left in the world.

The rhythm of the notes became more and more free and unrestrained. Just like the aura of the performer, unrestrained and unrestrained.

"He must have been an outstanding musician before." Leon sighed in a low voice. Although he did not have the talent to play music, as a noble with a title, his musical literacy was actually not worse than Angel.

Leon's sigh did not get a response from Angel and Nausicaa.

Nausicaa smiled but said nothing, because she knew the true identity of the man playing music. He was not a so-called musician, not even a human being.

Angel did not respond because his attention was attracted by another thing.

Just when the young man played the music to the climax, he felt his chest move. Angel's attention was instantly withdrawn from the music, and his whole mind was placed on his chest, because

Toby was sleeping quietly in his chest pocket.

Angel carefully observed Toby, but to his regret, Toby did not move again after that. If it were not for his extraordinary sensory memory, Angel might even think that everything that happened before was an illusion.

Toby did move a little. I wonder if it was because of this piece of music or for other reasons?

When Angel was thinking in his heart, the music stopped.

No matter how beautiful the music is, it has to end. This ten-minute performance made all the audience feel refreshed.

Undoubtedly, the talent of this young man was recognized by everyone. Including Leon, he even wanted to step forward and make friends with the young man playing the saxophone.

When Lyon couldn't help but yearn for it, he suddenly found that the audience who had been listening quietly before had dispersed. Moreover, all of them moved away from the young man at a very fast pace, as if they were afraid of being involved in something.

Lyon was a little confused. Shouldn't he go forward to cheer for the young man's performance at this time? Why did they all run away?

The next second, Lyon got the answer.

The music artist who looked unrestrained and uninhibited before took out a basin slowly from behind, and then put the basin in front of a person nearby with a smile on his face.

The meaning was obvious, this was clearly asking for money.

The man's expression was regretful, and he seemed to regret that he didn't leave immediately.

While the young man kept shaking the basin, he still sighed, took out a small piece of the split magic crystal and put it in the basin.

Then he turned around and walked away quickly without hesitation.

"This... is performing on the street?" Lyon was dumbfounded. This kind of hall-level musician became a street performer in the extraordinary world? Moreover, looking at his expression, he looked as if it was a matter of course?

After begging for a small piece of magic crystal, the young man grinned. He turned around to find the next target, but when he turned around, he found that there was no one around him.

With the fountain where he was standing as the center, there was no one within a radius of ten meters.

"Hey, is it that serious? Why are you running so fast?" The young man frowned and muttered, "If it weren't for participating in the Rising Star Competition, who would come out to cheat... ahem, playing."

The young man's words made everyone who opened a shop around shake their heads.

A few days ago, some people knew that he was going to participate in the Rising Star Competition, thinking that they could make friends with a good talent, so they gave him some money. As a result, they later watched the Rising Star Competition carefully, and this guy didn't even play.

Obviously, what he said about participating in the Rising Star Competition was to wrap a layer of sugar coating for his begging.

For those who give, the sugar coating is not sugar, but poop.

The young man sighed for a long time. Seeing that he couldn't find anyone to ask for money, he could only put away the saxophone with a sad face and whispered: "It seems that I have to move to another place next time."

When the others saw the young man's gloomy look, they couldn't help but feel refreshed. This guy relied on playing the saxophone to extort so many magic crystals during this period. They were jealous. This time, no one was fooled. Seeing the young man's miserable look, it was so refreshing.

When the onlookers secretly shouted, a middle-aged man who looked a little sloppy suddenly came to the young man.

The young man was stunned, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes. He took out the basin that had just been put into the package again, looking like a rogue.

Seeing this scene, someone couldn't help but shout: "Hey, hurry up, this guy is extorting."

However, the middle-aged man ignored it, but looked at the basin swaying in front of him and slowly stretched out his hand.

A crystal clear magic crystal emerged from his palm and rolled into the basin, making a crisp sound.

"It's actually a complete magic crystal?" Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but shake their heads. No matter how rich you are, you shouldn't waste it like this.

However, what surprised them was still to come.

The sound of ding-dong kept coming from the basin, like a beautiful scale, resonating in symphony at this moment.

One, two... ten...

All at once, at least more than twenty magic crystals fell into the basin.

The basin that had never been full before was not only full today, but also had a sharp corner.

In the sun, the edges and corners of the magic crystal flashed with rainbow light.

This made the onlookers who saw this scene red-eyed instantly. The joy of seeing the young man's decline before was now gone, leaving only a strong jealousy.

Not only outsiders, but even the young man himself was a little surprised.

"This, what you gave seems a little..."

The young man was halfway through his words and forced the last "more" back. It was rare to meet a sucker, so he couldn't let it go.

"Here are thirty magic crystals. As long as you play one more song, and it's the same as before, I will give you another thirty magic crystals." The middle-aged man, that is, Angel, looked at the man in front of him who seemed familiar, and said slowly.

The young man swallowed his saliva. As long as he played one more song, he could double it?

As a principled book spirit, his rule is to set up a stall every three days and play only one song each time. In this way, it will not attract the attention of the law enforcement team.

"My rule is to play only one song." The young man paused, then said: "But since I have met a soulmate, it doesn't matter if I play one more song."

What is a principle? Can it be eaten as a meal?

What is a rule? Aren't rules listed for people to break?

The young man instantly knelt down under the charm of the magic crystal, picked up the saxophone again, and in the jealous eyes of the people around him, he changed himself from a rogue begging for money to a chic artist again.

The music sounded melodiously.

Angel seemed to be listening, but all his attention was focused on his chest pocket.

At this time, in a dark alley on Mangshi Magic Material Street hundreds of meters away, a young man was leaning against a mottled wall, looking at the magazine in his hand with the faint light of the wall-mounted gas street lamp.

When he heard the music, the boy suddenly raised his head with a puzzled look.

With the help of the wall lamp, the boy's appearance could be clearly seen. It was the Sailum that Angel and his friends came to find this time.

"Hey, why did Heidian play again?" Sailum frowned. Although he had been immersed in the magazine, he also had some thoughts outside. Not long ago, Heidian played a song. Now it was his second time to play.

Heidian was a very principled book spirit. Why did he break his principles?

Could it be that Heidian encountered something?

Sailum suddenly became worried. At first, Heidian said he wanted to come out to "perform", and he was against it because he was worried that he would offend the law enforcement team. It was very scary to be punished for setting up a stall without a license. But Heidian promised him that he would know the limits, so Sailum agreed to do it.

Heidian did not make any mistakes in the consecutive stalls, and they did not attract the law enforcement team. Sailum was relieved.

However, now that Heidian broke the usual rules, there must be a complicated reason.

Sailum was a little worried. After thinking over and over again, he put away the magazine "Yingdu Yeyu" that he had read over and over again, and then walked out of the alley quickly and walked towards the source of the music.

When Sailum came to the fountain, he found from a distance that there was a middle-aged man standing in front of Heidian.

Sailum was still wondering who this man was. Could it be the reason why Heidian played it twice? At this moment, he felt someone patted his shoulder.

…

After the song was played, Angel's eyes were disappointed.

Angel thought that the music would attract Toby's feelings. After all, Toby's biggest hobby, besides beautiful clothes, is music.

However, after the same song was played, it did not cause Toby to move.

Perhaps, it was really just an accident before.

Angel handed the magic crystal that he had promised before to the young man. This scene made the people around jealous again. Although most people who come to Mangshi Magic Materials Street have some savings, magic crystals are not blown by the wind. They can't give a stranger 60 magic crystals at once.

After Angel gave the magic crystals, he looked at the young man who was quickly packing up and preparing to leave, and said: "Play another song for me, preferably a different style from the previous one, and it will still cost 30 magic crystals."

The young man paused and looked at Angel in surprise.

Others also looked at him with a fool's expression. One of them hurriedly took out something from his alchemy shop and said to Angel: "I have a latest version of the phantom music box. Although it was not made by the music box sorcerer, it contains "Castle in the Sky" created by Angel and "Alice" which was short-lived in the ancient auction."

"Don't ask him to play for you. Come to my shop and I will play you one by one. I don't want 30 magic crystals either. Ten magic crystals for each song is enough."
