Since then, Czerny felt that he could see the true face of this woman more clearly.
……
"I reject!"
Czerny shook his head, but when facing his biggest financial sponsor, even the most arrogant musician needs to think about his words.
So he said with some leeway:
"Those two young people are indeed very talented and have good musical abilities...but they feel too improvised, and this concert is very important to me."
"If it's the next concert, I might give you a favor, but I'm sorry... I have already arranged this concert."
Czerny could not give up this concert no matter what.
He bet most of his contacts over the years on this concert because he knows his body.
There is no cure for oriosis, it will only get worse over time.
Instead of waiting for the Origin Stone to take away his flexible hands, hearing, or eyesight... it would be better to create more profits for the Sunset Zone while his body is still strong.
Czerny was not sure whether Gertrude would protect the Sunset District when it lost his "infected musician".
……
But this kind of prevarication was not enough to deal with Gertrude.
For Gertrude...that is, the Black Snake, the Black Keys and the Chalk must attend this concert, and must play it here in the Sunset Hall forged by the Witch King after the nobles take their seats!
"Czerny, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm informing you."
Gertrude instantly suppressed the smile on her face.
She suddenly reached out her right hand to Czerny's cheek, pinched his face, and pulled it out hard.
Czerny never thought that the other party was going to break up in a physical sense. He groaned in pain and wanted to resist immediately.
But Gertrude more quickly punched him in the stomach with her left hand. Before coming here, Gertrude specially used music magic to enhance her physical fitness... Black Snake has recorded this knowledge.
It is no exaggeration to say that during the past time with a certain former friend, Black Snake had a little dabbling in almost all fields of Laitanian musical magic.
However, Ursula, who was cooking in the kitchen, did not notice such a big movement and was still chopping vegetables slowly.
It was as if her hearing blocked out some discordant sounds.
……
Czerny clutched his stomach, bent his legs, and was about to fall to the ground.
But Gertrude, who was standing, still pinched his cheek with her right hand.
"Why are you (expletive Letania) so crazy today!"
Czerny shouted angrily, but he did not dare to resist, and did not even have the thought of using the Origin Stone skills.
Because he suddenly realized that if he made the other party unhappy here, it would be fine if he was the only one in trouble... But Ursula was still here.
The top priority is to stabilize this crazy woman who is not thinking right today.
'Why is this crazy woman so violent all of a sudden? Is it those two guys... No, Bai Ke is just a commoner. It must be the noble named Black Key who did it! '
'What does that arrogant nobleman who came to join in the fun have to do with this woman...'
After all, in the past, even if Czerny did not agree with Gertrude's wishes, Gertrude would not take action against the musician...at best, she would secretly cause trouble and force Czerny to bow his head.
But like today, using violent means directly... To be honest, Czerny is not only angry now, but also a little panicked.
……
At the same time, on the other side of the Sunset District, Black Key and Bai Chao, who were comforting him, were walking on the street with an unhappy face, completely unaware of the tragedy that was happening in Czerny's home.
The haughty musician who had rejected them that afternoon was now being severely humiliated by the aristocrat he usually loathed.
After all, although the Black Keys were annoyed by Czerny's evaluation and believed that the other party's evaluation was full of subjective assumptions... they actually had no intention of teaching the musician a lesson.
Rather than bothering Gertrude to use his right to speak, he would rather have the selection competition go over again.
After all, with his arrogant nature, he thought he was just acting abnormally in the morning.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his heart.
Black Key hadn't heard this voice for a long time...so long that he almost forgot that the earthly voice of the Witch King resided in his body.
It was an old voice full of anger, hoarse and crazy.
'Useless fake, even the lowly common people suffering from serious diseases hate your vulgar flute sound...'
Chapter 345 Czerny disdains using power to suppress others
"Listen up, Czerny."
"You have to remember who not only became your sponsor, but also fully supported your idea. He worked hard and worked hard, and finally the song "Morning and Twilight" was signed with Czerny's name and spread out of the Sunset District."
"Composing, performing, teaching, and making musical instruments...these are indeed your own things, the fruits of labor created by your hands."
"But do you think the money earned from these industries can maintain the operation of Xizhao District? Let most residents of an infected area live a decent life?"
"I know, Czerny, you are dissatisfied with me... because you feel that I treat you as a commodity and that I trample your dignity as a musician under my feet."
"I used [the great infected musician born in the infected area] as a gimmick, so that you have to act like a clown, regularly playing music for the nobles who come here... To be honest, my original plan was not that Gentle, what is the dignity of a musician in order to revitalize my Strollo family?”
It is indeed the Strollo family of Black Snake.
Because all that's left of this family is the black snake in Lady Gertrude's skin.
"Czerny, I can turn a blind eye to your disobedience to me in the past... I can even regress, because as a Leitanian noble, music is a required course for me."
In order to communicate with the young Witch King who had not yet ascended the throne, Black Snake put a lot of effort into music.
"But it also depends on the timing, Mr. Czerny."
This body has been waiting in Leitania for so many years, and it's time to reap the fruits.
There is no need to lie to this proud musician.
Gertrude patted Czerny's face and whispered in his ear:
"I hold you in my hands, and you are the cup, a cup that can carry fame and wealth."
"But if I let go, you will be nothing more than a scumbag."
……
Seeing Czerny's face change from anger to disobedience, and finally closing his eyes in humiliation to express surrender, Gertrude let go of the hand holding his cheek.
For most people, face is often a reflection of dignity, and it is also one of the parts where psychological defenses are easily defeated.
Gertrude actually didn't care about Czerny's hostility towards her.
As long as it doesn't affect her plans.
As for whether the methods are gentle or not, Black Snake has always been indifferent.
It's just that violence is more convenient.
There’s no need to quibble over innocuous aspects.
……
It was Gertrude's plan to let the Black Keys and the White Keys play in the Sunset Hall and activate their respective earthly voices.
In fact, Gertrude noticed Chalk when he set foot on Vishelheim, and even realized that the voice of the world also resided in him, but it was broken.
Black Snake is really familiar with the sounds of the world...because that is exactly the impromptu performance of the Witch King, a melody that he picked up at his fingertips.
And for a period of time, Black Snake even listened to these songs every day.
At that time, He was truly appreciating these pieces of music, and realized the charm of the emotions and magic of friends contained in the music.
But now, Black Snake only feels disgusted by these melodies.
The Witch King is Black Snake's first short-lived friend.
He is also the only traitor who has betrayed the friendship of Black Snake.
……
But even so, this also means that Bai Ke is also the bloodline of the Witch King, and like Black Key, he has experienced the experiments of the Witch King's remnants, but he does not know why he escaped from the surveillance of the Twin Queens.
Later, under Black Snake's patient observation, that is, first subjective speculation, and then mind reading to verify, he finally discovered something was wrong... There was something wrong with the grandfather who depended on Bai Chuo!
Also, how could the Twin Queens allow the bloodline of the Witch King, which contains the voice of the world, to roam freely on this land without supervision?
Saving the other person's life is probably the Twin Queen's greatest kindness... After all, White Chalk is different from Black Key. He is not only a failure, but also an infected person.
No country would openly allow an infected person to become a noble.
Oh, except for Kazdaele, a country with its own national conditions.
There is no way, the racial characteristics of Sakaz means that most of them are congenitally susceptible to ore disease.
……
"Oops, I accidentally made more...Ms. Gertrude, have you eaten? Oh, I'm so rude. If this doesn't offend you..."
After bringing out dishes that were not exquisite but fragrant, Úrsula nervously adjusted her apron and smoothed the folds of her clothes with her hands.
She wanted to invite the other party to stay for a meal. After all, it was almost night, and Ms. Gertrude was a noble person from Czerny... But would the other party agree?
The other party is a noble.
At this time, Ursula did not realize that Czerny's nobleman had just beaten Czerny severely, thanks to Gertrude's silencing spell.
Ursula's attention was all on Gertrude at this time, so she didn't notice the red mark on Czerny's right face... Otherwise, some very bad misunderstandings might have occurred.
As we all know, Gertrude was Czerny's biggest sponsor and an older single female aristocrat.
But a noble man with good looks, huge wealth, and power is single... then there must be something wrong with him in some way.
Gertrude did have issues though.
……
To Ursula's surprise, Gertrude nodded, with a decent smile on her face, and said humorously:
"Why not? I smelled the aroma of food when I was discussing cooperation with Czerny, but I just couldn't help but feel ashamed."
Immediately, she turned and smiled at Czerny, who looked ugly.
"I wonder if Mr. Czerny welcomes you?"
At this time, Czerny was shaking with anger, but in order to prevent Ursula from noticing something was wrong and involving this innocent old woman in the dispute between him and Gertrude, he could only force himself to talk. Put on a smiley face.
"Of course...hiss..."
It touched the bruise on his right face.
Gertrude struck really hard.
Only then did Ursula notice a purple mark on Czerny's right cheek, and asked quickly:
"Sir, what happened to you? Are you injured anywhere?"
This……
Czerny was still thinking of excuses, but Gertrude was naturally concerned and said as if it had nothing to do with her:
"Yes, Czerny, the concert will start in a while. If you appear like this, other nobles may think that you are rude and don't care about this concert..."
Gertrude thoughtfully took out an expensive ointment from her arms and handed it to Czerny.
But Czerny accepted it with a numb face.
'Why do you carry ointment with you?You noble dog, have you wanted to beat me up for a long time?Did you also know that my concert was important? '
Úrsula on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
This old lady, who had little experience in contact with nobles, did not find anything wrong. Instead, she blamed Czerny for his impoliteness:
"Sir, maybe I am too talkative, but since you have accepted the other party's concern, you should at least express your gratitude."
"……thanks."
As expected, Czerny still hated Gertrude.
I should say it's even more annoying now.
