Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 133 Composer

Hearing Baron Dwork's words, all the actors became jealous.

That's an invitation from the Royal Opera Company!
The Royal Opera is part of the Royal Arts Corporation and holds the title of "Crown Laureate of the Kingdom's Opera".

Because it has the best resources, honors, salaries and artistic heights, joining the Royal Opera Company is the ultimate dream of almost all singers and actors in Rune!

However, Roger shook his head:
"Thank you very much for your invitation, Your Majesty, but I am sorry that I cannot join you."

When these words were spoken, many people at the scene were surprised.

This was an invitation from His Majesty the King, and it was also the path to success at the pinnacle of art. How could this unknown Benedict Jones just refuse it?

Although he is indeed very outstanding, how can he be so ungrateful?

Roger's reaction caught Baron Dwork off guard. He panicked and tried to smooth things over, but he heard Roger continue:

“Although I also like singing, I prefer composing music.

"And this is also the direction I want to work towards in the future... I sincerely ask for your understanding, Your Majesty."

Roger's thinking was very clear. His "Singer" potion had been digested, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be promoted to "Composer" of Sequence 6.

Therefore, it is no longer meaningful for him to continue playing the role of a "singer". On the contrary, it is more important to lay the foundation for his career as a "composer".

When Roger said this, Baron Dwork breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Roger not only found a reasonable reason for his refusal in terms of artistic creation, but also indirectly gave the king a way out!

George III has always been portrayed as someone who values young talents, so Roger's desire to engage in music creation was a very reasonable reason.

Roger's idea was very simple.

Since he was already here, he might as well take advantage of the support of King George III and the recognition of those potential demigods present, and build his own "composer" persona in advance.

That way, once he actually starts acting, the effects of the Composer potion will be much more effective.

As expected, after hearing Roger's wish, George III showed a regretful yet relieved expression:
"Jones, it's great that you have your own plans for artistic development. But this is undoubtedly a loss for the Kingdom's opera community.

“But I believe that with your talent, you will definitely achieve remarkable success in composing music.

"As a personal support, you will receive £2 in creative funding and a studio at the Royal Art Company, where you can use all kinds of tools and instruments at any time."

Fuck...

Roger was surprised. He originally just wanted to lay the groundwork for his character, but he didn't expect that George III would directly offer such generous treatment.

This way, he had no reason to refuse.

Roger bowed slightly and replied respectfully:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

George III nodded with satisfaction and watched Roger retreat to the back of the crowd.

"Bennelu, you are really honest."

Mr. Jeffrey couldn't help but patted his shoulder and whispered:

“I never thought you would directly reject His Majesty’s invitation.

"I originally wanted to persuade you to join Dwork Music Company and become a formal performer, but now it seems that I was overthinking it."

He laughed to himself.

"That's not the case, Mr. Jeffrey."

Roger shook his head and said, "If I can make some achievements in composing music in the future, I can also sign a copyright contract with the company first."

After hearing what Roger said, Mr. Jeffrey's expression improved a lot.

"Then I look forward to your achievements. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me."

He shook hands with Roger solemnly and made a promise that was equivalent to an advance investment.

With what happened today, Roger will surely become famous, and then he can use the relationship between Dwork Music Company and Roger to carry out more efficient publicity and marketing operations.

The actors who were received after Roger also received different invitations and rewards. It is worth mentioning that Alice won the favor of the Queen and got the opportunity to study and further her studies in the Royal Art Troupe for one year.

Although this is not as good as the direct invitation from the theater company that Roger received, such learning opportunities are generally regarded as an important pathway to the Royal Theater Company.

As long as Alice can endure the heavy training and schoolwork, she has a foreseeable future of passing the internal selection and joining the Royal Theatre.

Alice, Roger's "apprentice", and Roger himself, who has obtained the status of a member of the Royal Art Troupe, these two channels can easily contact Prince Edessak and obtain more information about Triss.

After the meeting, the banquet continued for a while, and Roger, who had accomplished a great task, finally had the opportunity to eat.

It must be said that the specifications of the royal banquet were indeed top-notch. The table was filled with the Olmier wine, which was of higher quality than the wine that Bakerlon Jean Martin had previously privately collected, not to mention the various meats, dishes and staple foods with outstanding flavors.

About an hour later, he put the last piece of roast duck breast into his mouth and drank the ordinary wine in the glass. Only then did he sigh in his heart with satisfaction:

"It's a pity that the food here can't be taken out. Klein won't be able to enjoy it."

At this moment, Roger's eyes suddenly met Audrey Hall in the distance.

This man, who was publicly known as "Backlund's most dazzling jewel" and secretly a key member of an illegal secret organization, seemed to be observing him...

Roger quickly wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and gave Audrey a friendly smile.

Audrey suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. She nodded politely in response, then quickly turned her head away...

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Roger finally returned to No. 2 Minsk Street wearing his own clothes and carrying a check for 15 gold pounds.

"No place is better than your own doghouse."

He sighed and called out to Klein and Bandit, but found that neither the man nor the cat responded.

"Strange, is Bandit sleeping in some dark place, or is he out with Klein?" Although he was a little confused, Roger didn't dwell on it too much.

He shook his head, returned to his bedroom, relaxed for a while, then turned over and sat up and went to the workshop opposite the bedroom.

"'Composer' potion recipe:
"One 'Composer' Beyonder characteristic, one Eye of the Shadow of Fate, 5 grams of Meteorite Dust, 20 milliliters of Phnom Penh Mint Essential Oil, 10 grams of Dragon-Striped Tree Bark, and 60 milliliters of high-quality white wine."

Aside from the "One-Eyed Shadow of Luck" which Roger obtained through the Tarot Club, the other auxiliary materials all came from normal channels or were taken by Roger when he left the Abraham family residence.

As the white wine and golden mint essential oil in the beaker were boiled to produce a pleasant aroma, Roger added the one-eye of the Shadow of Fate, meteorite dust and the bark of the dragon-patterned tree in turn.

In the end, Roger grabbed out of thin air with his right hand, and a blood-red opaque crystal appeared in his hand.

This is the extraordinary characteristic of "Composer"!
Roger dropped the crystal into a beaker, causing it to decompose rapidly.

As the liquid in the cup quickly solidified into a ball of blood-red colloid, Roger felt that the air pressure in the entire room had undergone some indescribable change.

He picked up the "Composer" potion, calmed himself down, and poured it all into his mouth!
At this moment, Roger immediately felt a strong dizziness!
Not only that, he seemed to hear some intermittent, faint melody in his ears.

The tune is very strange. It sounds very pleasant at first, but if you immerse yourself in it, you will find that it contains a rhythm that makes you irritable and crazy!
Roger only felt as if he was being controlled and counterattacked by the doubled power of "Troublemaker". He suppressed his urge to destroy, sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.

This meditation was much more difficult than the previous three times. It took Roger nearly 40 minutes to barely suppress the annoying sound in his ears.

After that, he did not rush to get up, but sat for a long time. After making sure that the power of the potion was completely contained, he stood up.

"composer……"

Roger lowered his head in thought, feeling his newfound abilities.

In addition to significantly enhancing his physical strength and physique, "Composer" also comprehensively enhances Roger's inherent abilities.

Now Roger's "Troublemaker" ability can simultaneously control the minds of 20 extraordinary people who are not higher than his own sequence level, or more than 100 ordinary people, and the affected range has also risen to a terrifying 1 kilometer.

If Roger concentrates his attention and gives up control of other targets, he may even be able to stably control 2 to 3 Sequence 5 Beyonders, or with a small probability, briefly control a Sequence 4 Beyonder!
Not only that, the power, influence and range of Roger's "Mind Boost" skills, "Fortune Amplification", "Singing" and "Fate Exchange" abilities have been enhanced by 30% to 60%, and his divination and anti-divination abilities have also been nearly doubled.

After becoming familiar with his inherent and enhanced abilities, Roger turned his attention to his newly acquired abilities.

There are two core abilities of a "composer".

The first one is "Composing Music".

Simply put, Roger's memory and understanding of music are not only comprehensively enhanced, but he can also compose his own music, add various rules to it, and then impose corresponding rules on the environment and enemies through the performance or singing of these songs.

These rules include but are not limited to:

The physical recovery or accelerated fatigue of living beings, slight changes in physical rules, various gains or losses in emotions and spirits, and distortions of human nature and destiny, etc.

The simpler and cruder the rules contained in the music, the easier it is to create, and vice versa.

Once a piece of music is composed and published, the wider its circulation, the more times it is performed, and the more people it affects, the stronger the rules and influence contained in the music will be.

On the other hand, if a "composer"'s work is widely recognized, he can include more profound and complex rules in his repertoire.

"It's a bit like a mechanism for obtaining an 'anchor' in advance..."

Roger thought of this immediately.

In a sense, high-ranking "composers" do not seem to need to establish their own churches or maintain the faith of believers.

He only needs to spread his creations as widely as possible and make the influence of the rules as great as possible, so that he can obtain the corresponding anchor reinforcement.

This guess surprised Roger slightly. If this guess was true, then it would be much easier for him to become a god than for others.

But then again, this "simplicity" is just a simplification in terms of spreading faith, and instead there is a need to spread cultural and artistic influence.

The good thing is that Roger doesn't need to compete with other religions for believers, which undoubtedly reduces the possibility of him making enemies before reaching a high sequence.

"But... is it really so?"

Roger couldn't help but think of Ghros's orphan "Qiushe", and shuddered.

The second core ability of the "Composer" is "Fate Leap".

Simply put, Roger can transfer a small part of his fate or the damage he has suffered to a place or person that has been performing or is currently performing his own music through the engraving of rules, thereby preventing other extraordinary people from using fate to launch mystical attacks on him or causing direct physical damage.

As a price, the depth of fate that can be transferred or the severity of damage is limited by the degree to which the object being transferred is engraved with the musical rules and the nature of the rules themselves. After using "Fate Leap", Roger must endure the concentrated infusion of the rules he "created" for a period of time according to the degree of damage he has transferred.

This may not seem like a big deal at first, but it is actually not.

For example, the music composed by Roger comes with a rule of mental purification similar to "mental boost", so after transferring the damage, he must endure a wave of extremely powerful mental cleansing. In this process, his inherent memories or thoughts may be washed away, and he may become half or a complete idiot.

In addition, this ability consumes a large amount of spiritual energy and can only be used once a day unless Roger's progress in digesting the potion is significantly advanced or the influence of the music he composed is significantly deepened.

Not to mention that if "Fate Leap" is used directly on people, it may cause casualties and damage the reputation of Roger's music.

"This ability can truly be considered a divine skill, but it can also be considered a pitfall...it all depends on how it's used."

Roger lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly a strange idea came to his mind.

"...Do records or radio broadcasts count as places where my music has been played for a long time?"

At this juncture, since the power of electricity has not yet been fully explored by various countries, radios and electric phonographs have not yet become popular.

But that doesn't mean Roger can't find a replacement...

For example, a hand-cranked phonograph is a great choice!

Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help but stand up and pace around.

"If I could use the disc of a hand-cranked phonograph to record my music directly, wouldn't that be like taking a shortcut and creating a medium that is deeply influenced by the laws of music?
"Then I can transfer any fate or injuries I've suffered directly to the disc... It's like a series of cheap, ready-to-use 'stand-ins'!"

　The second update will be coming soon.
