Swordsman Returns from Another World

Bai You smiled and replied, "It's easy to talk to a smart person. Of course I can let you go and pretend that today's meeting never happened."

“But what do I get?”

Arturo's smile slowly faded into a puzzled contemplation.

Baiyue wants to make a deal with Arturo.

"...I have no money, which is of no use to someone like you." Arturo responded softly: "I only have my emotions, my piano, and my performance."

"That's enough." Bai You raised a finger: "I will let you go, but the price is simple. I need one of your songs."

"I need you to play me...at some point in the future."

The moment Baiyou finished speaking, the cello case beside Arturo began to vibrate, as if the cello contained not a cello but a wild beast that had awakened from a long sleep, smelled an exciting scent, and was twisting its body to express its impatience.

Along with the strange vision of the piano case, Arturo suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, and an indescribable feeling of oppression instantly enveloped his body. It was not some kind of hostile feeling that made people uncomfortable, but just...

I just simply noticed at that moment that there was something abnormal about the man in front of me.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the faint fragrance coming from Bai You made her feel a little more relaxed.

The feeling of squeezing the body also disappeared.

Arturo tried his best to remain calm, wondering what had just happened. He raised his hand to hold the calmed guitar case and said softly, "This is the first time I've met someone who actively wants to join me in my performance."

"But are you sure?"

"You seem to be a smart person who is good at dealing and politics, and smart people tend to think a lot... You should know what this kind of person will become in my music."

“No matter what kind of me you play, it’s what I need.” Baiyou opened her arms: “Only when others know what kind of person I am and understand me through your performance can I say that I have given them face.”

give face?

Arturo seemed to understand.

"If I can do this and there are still people standing in front of me, then I really don't have to worry about anything."

Baiyue folded his hands, stretched out his right hand in front of Arturo, and said, "How about it, do you agree?"

Arturo did not rush to agree, but said: "My music...can bring people together emotionally."

"I can promise you, but before that, can I..." Arturo stared into Baiyue's eyes and said, "Play this moment between you and me?"

Arturo's music is like an invisible record.

Just like people can feel different atmospheres when they hear different kinds of music, Arturo is not only good at bringing out people's buried emotions, but is also good at recording "scenes" in music.

When you hear exciting electronic music, you will think of exciting and fast scenes; when you hear distant flute sounds, it is as if you are in a dense forest; when you listen to violent rap, it is as if you are on a battlefield... Arturo is also proficient in such performances.

Baiyou did not refuse, but whispered: "Record the moment when we made the agreement? Of course."

"But I want to remind you not to get too deep into my heart and try to play with my emotions. Now is not the time."

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Although Arturo was puzzled by the warning itself, he nodded.

She certainly wouldn't delve too deeply into Baiyou's emotions, but... during the performance, Arturo could get a glimpse of Baiyou's will.

A person who claims to cure all infected people, a person who stirs up the situation between Da Yan and Ursus, looks so ordinary and exudes a pleasant fragrance... It's really curious.

Your thoughts, your emotions, your soul...what kind of melody will it be?

With such doubts, Arturo slowly opened his guitar case.

She took out her harp and stood on the deck, feeling the morning breeze of Xiosta. The rising sun cast a brilliant red and yellow glow behind her, dyeing the sky in brilliant colors.

Her black hair fluttered in the wind. She listened to the heavy breathing of the giant beast Rhodes Island under her feet, smelled the moisture in the morning air, and the fragrance of Bai Yue's body.

She slowly opened her bright eyes and looked at the white glaze in front of her, staring into the white glaze's eyes, and looking at her own reflection in them.

Those eyes were honest and fearless, making Arturo curious and even a little fascinated.

How did such an honest and fearless person survive in the chaotic politics and keep this huge organization running?

Can simplicity and complexity appear in one person at the same time?

She slowly placed the bow on the strings, and after Baiyou nodded, she began to slowly pull the bow.

The strange cello seemed to have a mind of its own. Its strings vibrated and it produced the first low and long sound.

Chapter 570: Arturo is obsessed with you

Arturo has played for many people and in many scenes.

The conceited careerist, the meticulous planner, the ignorant person who is high above others, the scholar who grew up in the ivory tower...

Morning, noon, dusk...

Rainy and snowy nights, sunny and warm afternoons, dead and foggy days...

The earth and the sky...even a cloud, can all be integrated into Arturo's music, or in other words, her essence is extracted and transformed into a kind of spirit that she grasps and then plays.

After playing for so many people and so many things, Arturo felt that her playing had become instinctive, a part of her will, and there was no difficulty at all.

But at this moment, she felt an irresistible force coming from the bow, making her performance difficult and dull.

The sky, the sea breeze, the steel deck...his own music spreads out like a wave, enveloping everything around him inch by inch, trying to record the scene at this moment.

But in the world constructed by music, there stands a sudden void.

The sound waves and notes caressed everything in front of him, but they just outlined a vacuum area in front of Arturo.

The existence of white glaze is not recorded in the music at this moment.

Obviously... I was staring into his eyes.

Arturo took a deep breath and looked at the white glaze in front of him.

Baiyou just stood there ordinary, looking at Arturo with a smile.

Arturo focused his mind and his hands moved faster.

Lin Guang, who was not far away, also heard the music. The music was melodious and cheerful, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and feel it.

Top-notch music can allow the audience to construct a picture in their minds just by the timbre and melody of the notes, and this is the case with Arturo's music.

Even with her eyes closed, Lin Guang could feel where she was, and even more bizarrely, with the help of Arturo's music, she could actually feel the white clouds and the morning sun in the sky with her eyes closed, outlining a real space in the dark vision.

It’s just… in this space recorded by this music, there is a void.

Arturo was not discouraged and continued to play. The black and white cello in her hands began to exude a strange atmosphere, and there seemed to be a heavy aura hidden in the music.

Finally, as the notes became more dense and high-pitched, a vague shadow finally began to be depicted in the empty space.

The first to appear were earrings and rings.

The blue wind and the blazing red suddenly appeared in the music.

It was like a completely different timbre, swaying in the music as Arturo's brows were furrowed. To Lin Guang, who had his eyes closed, it appeared as two dazzling lights of blue and red.

The favor of the gods was played out, turning into light and shadow flowing out with a slender tail, shaking the body, outlining an illusory figure in the graceful wandering.

Outline the white glaze.

Arturo did not stop there. There was no real white glaze in his music. It was just... an illusion created by something unknown!

How should I play you, why do you reject me...why can you reject me?

How did you do it?

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and pulled the strings with her right hand holding the bow even faster and faster!

The left hand also moved faster.

The world in the music became clearer in Lin Guang's mind. She could even feel the moisture of the clouds in the sky, the smell of the sea in the wind, and even every crack in the deck under her feet...

The strange light and shadow wrapped around the white glaze became increasingly restrained, slowly shrinking back and solidifying into the shape of rings and earrings again.

Arturo, with his eyes tightly closed, smiled. New syllables began to appear in the music, symbolizing that white glaze was joining the music.

Finally... I will play the real you, even if it's just the surface... I will add you, Dr. White Glaze from Rhodes Island, to my music...

"cough!"

Suddenly, an abrupt sound caused the performance to freeze.

Arturo opened her eyes in surprise. The voice was so close that she wondered who made it.

Bai You, who was standing opposite her, was still staring at her, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Is it...myself?

She lowered her head in surprise, raised her right hand, and wiped her nose with the back of her hand, only to see a scarlet patch on the back of her hand.

nosebleed……?

Baiyue said softly, "I'm afraid it's not that easy for you to play, Arturo. For your own good, I used a little trick to reject you."

"please forgive me."

Arturo was not angry, he just smiled helplessly and stared at the white glaze.

He whispered, "I can't help myself, but how did you... reject me?"

In theory, there is no so-called "immunity" to Arturo's Originium technique. It is more like a "resonance" that touches the soul. Whether it is harmful to people depends on the heart of the person being played.

Arturo never thought that one day he would not even be able to leave a human shadow behind in his performance.

"Those two forces that protect you are amazing," Arturo said meaningfully.

Baiyou raised the hand wearing the ring and gently stroked the earring.

He chuckled and replied, "It's just a little favor from my love."

It seems that Arturo believes that the reason why Baiyue refused to play was because of the strange power of the earrings and ring.

Baiyou did not explain this misunderstanding.

Arturo nodded slowly and said softly, "In that case... I have nothing to say."

"Although it's a bit regrettable, let it be... I have already played the deal between us at this moment, and I will abide by it."

Bai You first hummed, then said: "Since the deal has been reached, then... during your stay in Xiosta, do you want us to help you hide your identity?"

"I don't want to hear that you were arrested by agents sent from Colombia before the deal is concluded."

Arturo was amused by the white glaze and squinted his eyes. The teardrop mole under his left eye looked particularly obvious. His demonic charm was not weakened by the bloodstains near his nose. Instead, it made him look even more alluring.

"Really? In the end you're still going to harbor a criminal like me, right?"

"Dr. Baiyue, you are such a trusting person."

Bai You shrugged and said calmly, "I will send someone to watch over you. You can leave anytime you want, but you must have someone of mine watching you while you are in Xiosta, in case your performance causes trouble for others."

Arturo didn't object, but just shook his head slightly, his tone intriguing.

"Before I succeed in playing you, I think I should try my best to restrain myself in other performances."

A certain obsession with white glaze took root in Arturo's heart.

She wanted to play the man in front of her, play everything about him...only then would she be satisfied.

Chapter 571: Do you like sunny days?

It has been settled that Arturo will be monitored and controlled by Rhodes Island during his stay in Xiosta, which is equivalent to house arrest.

Baiyou promised to let Arturo go when he left Colombia.

This matter is actually a bit risky. After all, Arturo's identity is too sensitive. Being a wanted criminal in Lateran is equivalent to being an unforgivable villain in the eyes of most people. If Rhodes Island is exposed for harboring such a person, it will lose its popularity.

Kal'tsit thought the same thing. She found Baiyou and had a chat with her in a very unfriendly manner, but came out angrily with a red face ten minutes later. She wiped her lips in disgust and left quickly. She didn't say anything else afterwards.

Since Kal'tsit agreed, naturally no one else would say anything more, so Arturo stayed.

Given her identity as a Sakota and her special Originium skills, the people responsible for guarding her cannot be the many Sarkaz led by W. This responsibility fell on Lin Guang, who was not affected by their Originium skills.

Arturo thought things had settled down, but it was clear that she had underestimated Baiyue's spirit.

He underestimated the moment when she glimpsed it after she had played her best and overcome the favor of two gods.

noon.

Under Lin Guang's leadership, Arturo returned to Rhodes Island to familiarize herself with the environment. In the next half month, she will be in Rhodes Island as a guest.
