The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

To Alice, no, to most people in this world, Riber's playing looks like magic.

Although due to her background, Alice rarely had access to music.

However, Alice also knew that she liked the music played by Riber more than the sound of the organ in the Bright Cathedral and some dance music at banquets.

Especially sitting side by side with Riber in front of the nightingale piano, she could clearly feel that Riber's music was played specially for her.

"How? Now I finally know what a great person I am?"

Following Alice's example, Riber proudly raised his chin and said.

"I teach well!"

Alice turned her face away slightly, as if she was a little unconvinced and said.

Riber really didn't know what this little guy was talking about.

Could it be that Alice hoped that the Earl was a pure waste?

"You...forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you, just treat it as your teaching."

"It doesn't matter what you say, it's just that I teach well! Playing the Nightingale Qin requires flexible use of the strength of the wrist!"

"That's right, both wrists are wrists... fingers are just auxiliary!"

Riber spoke in a relaxed tone, reaching out to retrieve the gloves on the piano stand.

And it was also at this time that he belatedly discovered something that had landed on his shoulder without a sound.

I (Earl swears)!

What the hell is this!

Just when Ribel was so shocked that he almost failed, a black strange bird on each of the left and right shoulders began to drill towards Ribel's chest and pecked Ribel a few times from time to time.

Riber, who was in pain, frowned and thought about what was on his chest.

And soon, he realized that the feathers given to him by the black crow were used by him as a talisman and kept in his inner pocket.

As soon as the black crow's feathers were taken out, the two black strange birds seemed to have gone crazy, and they rushed over and pecked Riber's hand completely red.

Riber, who hastily put away the black crow's feathers again, reached out his hand decisively and grabbed the two unruly strange birds.

Although, Riber doesn't know what kind of species this thing is.

But anyway... probably not Nightingale.

Volume 170: Chapter [-], The Great Illustrated Book of Eudemons

An ordinary morning in the old capital.

In a musical instrument store with a long history in Dongcheng District, the owner Lizman yawned and greeted his old friend Jones who hurried into the store.

When seeing Jones again, Lizman was a little bit embarrassed.

The craftsman who always looked dirty in the past was actually wearing an exquisite black dress today.In particular, the top hat covered the Mediterranean Sea on his head, making Jones look a little like a promising gentleman.

Lizman naturally knew Jones' talent, and also knew that the nightingale piano he made would sooner or later create a storm in the musical instrument industry.

However, he didn't expect these things to come so quickly.

"Lizman, quickly take me to your warehouse, the one where the trial nightingale is kept!"

"Try it?"

Lizman repeated the word with some amusement.

In just a few days, the once "lifetime masterpiece" has become a mere trial work.

However, this also means that Jones' new nightingale piano is definitely a big success.

Lizman couldn't help feeling relieved.

Before, he was extremely worried that his old friend with a particularly stubborn mind would do something to anger the count.

Although, the nobles of the old capital always behaved very easy-going.However, as long as you are a normal-minded person, you will not think that those noble gentlemen are really easy to get along with.

"quick!"

"well."

Seeing Jones' anxious look, Lizman took him to the warehouse behind the musical instrument store without asking any further questions.

The reason why the trial nightingale violin was placed in the warehouse in the past is not because Lizman didn't want to put Jones' masterpiece on the front of the cabinet.Rather, the nightingale piano is a large musical instrument after all, and the long history of the Lizmann Musical Instrument Store does not mean that it is very spacious, so it will take time to vacate the corresponding space.

However, on the other hand, Lizman also tried several times to sell the prototype Nightingale to the regular customers in the store.It's just that there is very little positive feedback.

When Lizman brought Jones to the warehouse, he saw Jones circle around the trial nightingale piano twice, and then let out a long sigh of relief.Then, he made unbelievable actions one after another.

Jones rolled up his sleeves first, leaving a noticeable ruffle mark for the apparently expensive gown.

Then he picked up the large hammer from the edge of the warehouse.

In the end, with the sound of "Bang! Bang!", before Lizman could recover, he was frantically trying to make a nightingale piano.

"Oh! My God! Jones, are you crazy? What are you doing!"

Lizman, who couldn't help hugging his head, shouted in a shrill voice.He wanted to stop Jones, but he also didn't dare to approach, for fear of being caught in the attack range of the heavy hammer.

And Jones, who seemed to be in a state of frenzy, was still vigorously swinging the heavy hammer in his hand, as if he would not give up until he completely smashed the trial Nightingale Qin into pieces.

"You won't understand! Lizman!"

"How can I understand if I don't tell you?"

"Only those who see that scene will understand! And I saw it!"

Jones, who temporarily stopped the atrocities in his hands, made a move that didn't have any specific meaning, looking into the distance.

"So what on earth are you trying to say!"

And Lizman continued to shout loudly, and he didn't know if he was infected by the atmosphere, or he was simply annoyed that his warehouse had become a mess.

"I saw a real nightingale, appearing in the moonlight!"

"what?"

"The real Nightingale Qin is definitely a perfect instrument. Therefore, I don't allow such a defective product to stay in this world!"

Jones, decisively began to destroy the trial nightingale piano again.

"No, stop—"

Amidst Lizman's weak shouts, the trial nightingale piano was completely destroyed.

...

In fact, when Lizman and Jones staged a farce, a figure not far away was silently writing a pen in his notebook, recording their inexplicably dramatic and joyful words and deeds.

However, in the notebook, Lizman is the prince of a country, while Jones is the princess of a hostile country.

This recorder is naturally not a strange thief with a peculiar hobby, but Lizman's daughter, Jackie Lizman.

On weekdays, Jackie, who works at the Shawite Noble Theater, only occasionally returns to her hometown, which is the Lizman Musical Instrument Store.

But this time, she returned to the musical instrument store not only because of her vacation, but also because her father had been advocating the nightingale piano made by her friend for a period of time in the past.

After trying to play for a while, Jackie really liked the sound of the nightingale piano very much.However, she didn't think it was exaggerated to the extent her father said.

But now, watching the scene where Jones smashed the violin, Jackie became very interested in the "real nightingale violin".

In her notebook, she continued to record "inspiration", wrote "something that turns lovers who love each other so deeply", and added the word "artifact" after it, and drew a circle.

Whether it is used as a stage prop or an item requested by "that diva", the nightingale piano seems to be very suitable for Jackie's work requirements.

However, she didn't know where to find the "real Nightingale Qin" now that the trial Nightingale Qin had been completely destroyed.

...

...

In Riber's mansion.

In Ribel's room on the third floor, two people in butler uniforms were arguing without giving in.

And Riber was still drinking tea with a calm expression, sighing secretly in his heart.

"Nightingale! This is definitely the legendary phantom beast, Nightingale!"

"How is it possible! This is clearly 'Shadow Sparrow'!"

"nightingale!"

"Shadow Sparrow!"

"Nightingale nightingale nightingale!"

"Shadow sparrow, shadow sparrow, shadow sparrow, shadow sparrow!"

Two fluorescent shadow birds also landed on the heads of Sebastian and Taya, one from the left and the other from the right, making a noise in sync.

Seeing that the dispute between the two is getting younger and younger, Riber is somewhat convinced.

Does this Sebastian have superpowers or a halo or something?

How did Taya, who looked quite capable before, be brought to the same level as him in a short period of time?

By the way, Sebas' point of view is Nightingale, while Taya's point of view is Shadow Sparrow.

So what is this shadow sparrow?

And nightingale...

Riber always felt that the nightingales in this world were not the same species as the common sparrow-like birds he understood everywhere.

Perhaps the nightingales in fairy tales are more similar to the nightingales in this world?

"Why is it said that Nightingale is a legendary phantom beast? Isn't the phantom beast itself already basically has a legendary meaning in it?"

Slightly interrupting the dispute between the two, Riber asked a little puzzled.

But Taya and Sebastian competed to popularize science for him.

It turns out that there is something called "Phantom Beast Stele" in this world.It was left behind by a famous bard known as the "Eye of History".

Above, a total of 440 things related to the two kinds of Eudemons are recorded.

Nowadays, human beings can coexist harmoniously with Eudemons, and it is generally considered to be the Eudemons stele of the bard, which has become a bridge between the two sides.

Up to now, the Eudemons stele has naturally been printed into a book, the name is "The Great Illustrated Book of Eudemons".

Compared with the stone tablet, the records in the Great Picture Book are more detailed, and there are nearly [-] more types.

And this reminded Ribel of the Monster Illustrated Book. In the Huanju Dajiu, there is a category that is "legendary" Huanju.

This kind of phantom beast, in simple terms, is that everyone has heard its legends, but no one has seen it.Even if someone claims to have seen it, the credibility is not high, and there is always a sense of mystery surrounding it.Even, between existence and non-existence.

Among the nearly a hundred kinds of legendary Eudemons, Nightingale was naturally included.

Moreover, Riber accidentally discovered that Suicide Bird was also listed on it.

However, the description of the suicidal bird can be roughly summed up in one sentence.

"It will bring endless ominousness."

Think about it, with the ability to sue the dead bird, few people have seen it and can understand it.After all, if you take one more look at Sue Dead Bird, the accused dead bird mark, you may be suddenly taken away one day.

However, a bird like the nightingale, which is characterized by being able to make "the most beautiful sound in the world", has no reliable sighting information at all, so it is a bit suspicious.

Maybe Nightingale was really just a fabrication.

Flipping through the Eudemons Illustrated Book, Riber seemed to have found a new continent.

He could understand why so many people were not so excited when they saw Tianma pulling the carriage before.

On the other hand, thinking that he had seen many kinds of phantom beasts in this world, Riber curiously looked through the information of the phantom beasts he was familiar with.

As a result, he discovered that the Phoenix is ​​also a legendary Eudemon with almost no information.And the phantom beast similar to the black crow is basically nowhere to be found.There is only one kind, the "funeral bird" that is rumored to appear in front of the dying, which is somewhat similar in appearance to the black crow.

In other words, the phantom beasts related to the phantom blessing of the imaginary god of the Scourge Church are all legendary phantom beasts?

Could it be that it is precisely because these phantom beasts should not exist that the gods who can bestow such powers that should not exist are named "Utopia"?

Riber felt that he seemed to be in a strange place, and he had obtained information that he didn't know when he would be able to use it.

What's more, he found that most of the Eudemons he was associated with seemed to be "birds"...
