Chapter 344 The First Movement: The Poem of Awakening (21): Departure, Clue (Two in One)

At five o'clock the next day, there was a faint orange-red overflow on the horizon, and within two hours, the sun's light a little higher in the sky was blinding people's eyes.

Caravan carriages of various sizes pass through the outskirts of the city. New tea plants are planted in the fields, hydrangeas are blooming, and sparrows are growing. Luna sits leaning against the door of the open carriage, and the breeze lifts her silver dress and hair tips.

Fanning on the innermost side was wearing loose and clean cotton shorts, and sat with his white shirt open, hugging the piano, looking at the retreating scenery in his bulging clothes, his fingers thoughtfully hooking the purple strings.

Some ships can be seen in the distance, including steam boats and small sailboats, floating on the clear sea, and the tops of black volcanic rocks can be seen in the water. Far.

He felt that compared with the prosperous industry in Tiolein, there was too much blankness and too much color, but this feeling was strange after all.

It may be harmless for ordinary people to develop a sense of passing, but it is a contradiction for people who are sensitive and nostalgic. It is also due to the fact that this country tends to over-exaggerate people's inspiration and emotions.

The gift of 'Flower Poet' produces glowing orange-red berries all the way to the branches.

He just started from the seventh song of "Winter Journey", played and sang "On the River", which is bathed in soft chords and pondered in memory. Missing "Looking Back" like a shadow, playing and singing the mysterious, lonely and terrifying "Ghost Fire" roaming in the wilderness on a winter night, and "Wild Fire" full of minor second chromatic melody, which makes people feel disheartened and hopeless. rest in peace"……

feels good.

——The subdivision direction of "organist" is too special. According to Fanning's common sense of religion and music culture, the instrument of pipe organ originated from the church of the Church of the Holy Sun, and its popularity here is quite low. He always It is suspected that Viern of that era had no chance of playing the organ in the Southern Continent.

Fanning's biggest goal is to not appear to be "completely out of the blue" when Scheler enters the screening field one day in the future.The identity of a troubadour is the biggest natural barrier, but Fan Ning will not treat his opponent as a fool, he will take the initiative to do something to make the time staggered from the date of his disappearance, and it is best to stagger forward .

The girls wanted to come closer and listen.

She shrank her legs into the carriage, and then seriously replied: "In normal weather, I can last until about 07:30 in the morning. No matter how strong the sun is, I need to avoid it, so before that, I will try to bask in the sun for a while." Sun...did you rest well last night?"

These traces cannot be perfectly erased, but for the investigators, they are also disturbing and looking for a needle in a haystack.

Starting from the awakening on the beach yesterday, Fan Ning made corrections while coping with the actual situation all the way. Up to now, he has basically refined the preliminary "background and character design":
A foreigner who has just entered the southern country, once wandered on the borders of the two countries in the Western Continent, rich in knowledge and knowledge, rich in love history, conceited and arrogant, but does not care about money, fame and wealth at all, all depends on emotional resonance and inspiration...

This undoubtedly aroused Fanning's interest, and he leaned his guitar aside: "It sounds like a feat, and it is expected that those who have been able to achieve it in the past are all great musicians with extraordinary accomplishments?"

Even his "engaged in music activities", the specific identity is not sure.

He once deduced according to common sense that it is impossible for a professional musician to let go of music, and there should be some traces of music activities during his long stay in a foreign country.

"Well... In short, we won't go as fast as full speed, and in fact, going full speed may not guarantee the shortest time." Luna shook her legs slightly, "The "flower ceremony" lasts for a long time every year. The caravans here are not in a hurry to arrive at the destination at the first time, looking for and enjoying the gift of the 'Fanghua Poet' along the way, may be the original meaning of the festival, I guess so."

Luna opened the chatterbox, and told with great interest while turning the pages back and forth: "This includes, for example, the classical guitar master Tone, the romanticist master Lorfein, the great opera singer Dominique, the famous singer of Tia City, Kuci, and others." There is the legendary pianist 'Li', oh! At the beginning of 'Li''s world tour, the experience of awakening the 'Fanghui Poet' in the Southern Continent for three consecutive years is simply talked about..."

"Theoretically, as long as it is during the 'Flower Ceremony' and within the range of 'Tiya City', any performance or singing by people may successfully awaken it, and trigger strong illusions and resonance, and the Southern Kingdom has completely opened the midsummer. Usually, this lucky thing happens one day in August, but it's not known who made it."

Of course, no one will deliberately ask about the history of a troubadour’s soul exile, but in the short and sporadic conversations last night and this morning, Fan Ning began to intentionally add some past wandering experiences, of course inadvertently Indistinctly, indistinctly, and fragmentarily revealed.

President, why are you everywhere? The big news has come to the Southern Continent.Fanning blinked strangely. He was indeed very interested in hearing too many familiar names.

"prelude"?
This is simply unrecognizable...Fan Ning fingered the pages of the book, lost in thought.

"As for the specific records, the wakeners themselves are great musicians or music masters. There are a total of 54 times and 15 people. Before that, they were only at the 'famous' level or relatively weaker. There were 46 times and 30 people... You see, in terms of times The ratio is close to one to one, and the number of people is one to two, which shows that the 'Awakening Song' is not the patent of great musicians."

Now some distinctions are made in various aspects.

"According to our teachings, the 'Fragrant Poet' is half-asleep and half-awake at other times of the year, and only in summer will it be fully awake for a short period of time, so this is the hottest climate, the most fragrant flowers, and the most productive season of the year. The most abundant season is also the time when everyone sings and dances, seeks inspiration, and pursues passion. It is said that a considerable number of trainee troubadours have improved their skills during the "Flower Ceremony" in summer and obtained His blessing emblem... ..."

This clue confirmed his deduction, and the trace was quite deep...

Originally, the most valuable information point should be what repertoire Viern used in the ceremony to awaken the "Fragrant Poet".

Fan Ning's eyes flicked across the records of "Wake Up Song" over the years. As a musicology student who is very familiar with music history from ancient times to the present, more and more familiar names of musicians came into view.

"The latter is easy to understand in a literal sense, similar to the final grand ceremony of the climax of the festival." Fanning tapped the wooden surface of the guitar with his fingertips, "But, what is the 'Song of Awakening'?"

"So, how do you celebrate at Flower Rite?" Fanning asked.

Troy and the two trainee troubadours also showed extremely high enthusiasm, but Fanning still prefers to be quiet during non-party moments.

But shouldn't that be the job of the clergy?

It seemed to be the last summer of a five-year medical search.

"How many days is the journey?" Fan Ning raised his head again after sorting things out in his spare time.

"Mr. Scheele is right!!" Luna said here, with a hint of sincere admiration in her tone, "However, the 'Awakening Song' has a certain degree of drama, and the preference of 'Fanghui Poet' may be different from the authoritative evaluation of the Western Continent." It's not the same system, and every now and then there's a little-known musician who gets a response and becomes famous, well, let me see..."

"Incomprehensible."

Intelligence collection and investigation work are nothing more than two points: human contact and traces of events. Even if it is occult divination, the revelation gained is also presented through these two points.

The little girl was immersed in the fantasy deduction, and suddenly found that the other party was looking at the magazine in her hand with great interest, while she was still flipping through it from a distance. She handed the magazine over in embarrassment, and then He obediently sat back at the far end.

"Thank you." Fanning thanked him for accepting the "Felton Folk Culture Reader".

"This issue of "Phaidon Folk Culture Reader" magazine has an inventory article, which counts the historical records of the "Awakening Song" in the United Kingdom of Phaidon in the past 100 years. , and the proportion of local troubadours is slightly more than that of foreign musicians."

"Of course, the latter 30 musicians are also famous for this. The inventory article specifically notes their brief artistic experience in the future. There are 14 of them who have grown into great musicians, and 3 of them have grown into music masters. Although It's not all 'flower etiquette' that makes them famous, but it's a high percentage."

Luna also found that Mr. Scheler is generally a melancholy and withdrawn person, which matches his stunning talent. As the only lucky person who was not invited out of the carriage, it may be because of the gift, or because of the silence, It may also be because my communication method is relatively well-behaved, avoiding the sense of distance that squeezes him with too enthusiastic words.

The sky is high and the earth is far away in the southern country, and the successful containment of "Fountain in the Painting" has helped a lot, but it is still not safe, and the intelligence means of the Special Inspection Office must not be underestimated.

The article in the magazine also made a very brief note on his later artistic experience, only mentioning that he was "a court musician from the Northland", as well as the time when he left the Southern Continent and the year of his death. "The Awakener.

"However, apart from the usual celebrations during the festival, there are also two more important time nodes. The first one is the 'Wake Up Song', and the latter is the 'Flower Ceremony'..."

August 875, 8 New Calendar, Louis Viern, "Prelude".

But when his eyes moved to a certain line, they suddenly froze.

But the level of potential threats I face is too high, and I still need to make prudent considerations, such as the first issue of identity.

Fan Ning let out a "hmm". After returning to the guest room last night, he changed his clothes and went to sleep early. Under the nourishment of the free Yaozhi spiritual liquid, his own strength has recovered by [-]-[-]%. The one who knows.

In the implantation of the impressions of the first batch of contacts, the personality creation of "not focusing on money and fame" can explain why Scheler's previous experience on the border of the Western Continent was not very famous. Of course, they don't care whether it is true or not, but If someone investigates and traces the source in the later stage, this is somewhat out of thin air, and Fan Ning will have some actions to consider next.

"Me?" Fanning laughed in surprise, "What does this have to do with me?"

Small troubles encountered unexpectedly are basically within the control range.

"It's also a ceremony." Luna said, "It's the ceremony just mentioned, used to wake up the sleeping 'Fanghua Poet' and let the midsummer come completely... By the way, Mr. Scheler, you asked this I just thought of the problem, with your talent and accomplishments, you can definitely give it a try during this trip to Tia City, maybe this year's festival, the one who awakens the 'Fragrant Flower Poet' is you!!"

"You sit so out of line, you are not afraid of falling?" Fan Ning's voice came from inside the carriage.

This is the first time I have discovered traces of Viern's public activities in the Southern Continent!

"Ah!" The little girl turned her head, and this was the first time Mr. Scheler spoke on his own initiative today.

"Maybe about 5 to 15 days, Mr. Scheler." Luna replied.

"Because it is impossible to predict whether you will get lost, nor can you accurately estimate the time it will take to get lost."

However, there is no beginning and no end.Due to the limited popularity of Viern himself, and the extremely sporadic correspondence between letters during his recuperation in the Southern Continent, Fan Ning had no way of knowing what he had done in the past few years.

Indeed, it can only be regarded as "folk culture" rather than "music magazine", the content is too complicated, and the starting point of this inventory article is more on the religious customs of "flower etiquette" itself.

"Mr. Scheler, you must try it!! After you have received the highest standard blessing from Fanghua Sanctuary, the clergy will calculate the 'auspicious time' and invite you to become a 'Flower Flower' on a certain day in September. The honored guest of Rituals, and I was the first person who ever issued a ceremony to you..."

She folded her legs and leaned over, took out a book from the stained oak shelf under the rattan mat and opened it:

"Is it such a big range?"

Awaken a Lord of Witness?Whether it is substantive or symbolic, it depends on the nature.If it is a typical act of pollution and death in the evil god organization, and it is a festival held every year in the Orthodox Church, then there is no problem.

Because in the minds of the people of Tioleen, their social image is actually that of a "long-sleeved and good at dancing" musician: personable, prudent, basically no emotional scandals, fame and fortune, and a successful career...Know yourself There are not many true inner confidants.

"The ceremony of 'Awakening Chant' is a bit special, it is open." Luna explained, "Its prototype comes from a common tribute link in our teachings, which can be arranged by believers who are slightly qualified, but its core In that a piece of music had to be played for a prayer..."

But the title of the recorded track is really embarrassing...

"Glaucoma symptoms appeared in 871, and I consulted at the 'Free Folk Herbal Medicine Workshop' of Vassius' parents, and then followed the advice to travel across the sea to seek medical treatment, and returned to the North Continent in the spring of 876..." Fan Ning recounted it in his mind timeline.

It is common for the titles of music works in such magazine articles to be written irregularly, even if they include a work number or even a tonality. Now it is not only impossible to confirm whether Viern is writing a new work or an old one, and even what genre it is , What musical instruments can not be distinguished.

Only after arriving in Tia City, follow this clue interface, find out more detailed records of the year, or see the music score of this work, can we infer more substantial information.

Fanning closed the magazine and found that the little girl had been looking at him, but after he looked up, he embarrassedly turned away from the car.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "I want to know more about the classic teachings of your church. Any recommendations?"
