Bored, I want to see rivers of blood!

Chapter 40: Sky Harp

"Do you want to borrow the Sky Harp? I understand. I will fully cooperate."

After knowing Qianye's intention, Rustan did not question or make things difficult. He agreed decisively. After all, he knew about Qianye's singing ability. And this song was a gift to the God of Wind, the young man next to him. How could he not agree?

"By the way, please don't publicize Wendy's identity. He said that he doesn't want to rule Mondstadt or anything like that..."

Listening to Qianye's words, Rustan rubbed his chin. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said

"Indeed, this is very consistent with his usual style. Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind... seems to just want to live freely like this..."

"Then remember to keep it a secret. Also, I forgot to tell you. This song is sung by Rosalyn. Don't miss it."

After hearing the name Rosalin, Rustan's expression instantly became unsettled. After all, this was his lover going to sing. And it was the kind of music he had never heard of, how could he not be moved?

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I will be in charge of this matter now. I will definitely help you find someone who can play the music. And I will also help you borrow the Sky Harp. This is the song that Rosaline wants to sing..."

Rustan spoke righteously, as if he was more anxious than Qianye. After he finished speaking, the two separated quickly. Because he couldn't get away for a while, Rustan called his disciple Roland.

Looking at the confused Roland, Rustan patted him on the shoulder and said

"Roland, I have a mission for you now. Accompany Qianye to the Knights of Favonius and tell Alan Delin what I mean. At the same time, bring the documents to the Bishop of the Favonius Church to sign the contract documents."

"If he disagrees, then you tell him. This is what I mean, and it is also what the Grand Master means."

"So, you should understand this mission, right?"

Looking at the majestic Rustan in front of him, Qianye was speechless. If Rosalin hadn't sung, it would have taken him a lot of effort. Although he could get the Sky Harp, it would have taken a lot of effort...

Roland also understood the importance of his mission and quickly performed a knight's salute.

"I understand, Master."

"Very good, then Roland. Make sure the mission is completed..."

After receiving Roland's reply, Rustan seemed to be in a very good mood. Then, he turned his head and looked at the knight on the side and roared:

"Why are you standing there? Keep training. You're swinging the sword too slowly. Go faster."

…………

Qianye looked at Roland beside him. Although he was still as heroic as ever, he was somewhat nervous because of his figure. In order to ease the atmosphere, Qianye took the initiative to speak.

"Hey, Roland. It's been a long time since I last went to the hospital. I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become a very qualified knight..."

“Yes… yes, Mr. Qianye. I… my achievements pale in comparison to yours, I…”

After hearing what Roland said, Qianye immediately patted Roland on the shoulder and said

"You are a real man, why are you talking like a woman? Stand up straight and speak louder!"

Listening to Qianye's reprimand, Roland immediately straightened his back seriously. Then he shouted loudly:

"Yes, Mr. Qianye. Although I haven't achieved what you have now, I have been working hard. I want to fight you!"

"Very good, very energetic."

The atmosphere was relaxed, and Roland seemed to be much more relaxed. Qianye also laughed, and the two slowly walked towards Mondstadt. When they were a distance away from Mondstadt, Qianye saw a small camp of hillock people. There were probably only 1 to 20 hillock people in it, and at most one hillock thug...

Qianye felt that his desire to kill had come back, but it was not good to satisfy his desire to kill, and Roland beside him obviously needed more combat experience.

Looking at Roland who was eager to try, Qianye smiled.

"Roland, I leave it to you. Let me see how well you have learned the West Wind Sword Technique. I will give you some pointers after I'm done..."

"Okay, Mr. Qianye. Just wait and see. I have been practicing for quite a long time..."

As he said this, Roland picked up a silver sword and walked slowly towards the hill camp...

…………

Ten minutes later, Roland shook off the blood on his sword. He turned to look at Qianye, who stroked his chin and commented:

"Gorgeous and elegant sword skills, very much in Rustan's style. However, your own style has been obscured."

"Is that so? Then how should I practice? Mr. Qianye, you must have some ideas, right?"

Looking at Roland who was expecting something, Qianye smiled and said:

"Every strong person's path is different. Although teaching an apprentice means teaching him your own moves, it also depends on the situation. If you want to surpass your master, then you can't stick to his moves."

"Gather the moves of others and apply them to yourself. Just like me, an apprentice can never defeat a master. Because what you learn is what he knows, so you have to find your own way to become a strong person."

"I have compiled many sets of combat methods, covering almost all the combat skills I know. Those things can be seen in the library. If you really can't find them, you can go to Rustan. He should be able to give them to you..."

Listening to Qianye's speech, Roland seemed to understand a lot of things. He said solemnly

"Thank you for your enlightenment. I think I should know now."

After this battle, Roland felt that he admired the man in front of him even more. What he admired was not his strength, but his heart as vast as the sea. He was able to selflessly dedicate his fighting methods to everyone to learn. This kind of heart is not something that ordinary people can have...

Soon, Qianye and Roland returned to the Knights of Favonius. Seeing Roland and Qianye coming back, Alendrin had figured it out. He smiled and took out the document that had already been signed by himself and Rustan, and then said

"Take it. Next you just need to go find the bishop and get his signature, and then you can borrow the Sky Harp."

"Thank you very much. I think Barbatos will enjoy this performance."

Qianye took the document from Alendlin with a smile, turned around and left with Roland. Now, they were going to visit the current bishop of the West Wind Church.

The current bishop of the West Wind Church is an old man named Peter. He was a devout priest in his early years, but later on, because he had been in office for quite a long time and was also the holder of the Eye of God, he became a bishop over time...

"Hello, Bishop Peter. I'm here to borrow the Sky Harp, as well as four priests who are excellent at playing it."

After listening to Roland's words, Peter did not reply. He just took the lyrics and the signed document, and then flipped through the document. His face was uncertain for a while... but soon returned to normal.

"Okay, I got it. I'll arrange the personnel, and the Sky Harp will also appear at the Wind Flower Festival tomorrow."

"Thank you, Bishop Peter..."

After receiving the reply, Roland quickly left with Qianye. After the two of them walked away, Bishop Peter threw the document to the ground. He clenched his fists in anger.

"Damn you, Alandrin. Damn you, Rustan. You are going too far... cough cough cough..."

If Qianye and Roland had sneaked a peek at the document, they would have been able to see very clearly what was written on it.

Sign the word and give it to the Sky Harp.

Such a simple sentence directly ignited the bishop's anger. After all, anyone who saw a document with such a few words would be angry. However, after a heavy breath, Peter returned to normal and sighed.

There is no thought of resisting...

Chapter 41 The Problem of Musical Instruments

After all, he had tried to send messengers to contact the exiled nobles before. Because, at that time, the control of the Church by the Knights of Favonius was too serious. No matter what was done, the Knights of Favonius would intervene.

Therefore, he thought about contacting the exiled nobles, and then redistributing the power structure of Mondstadt with internal and external cooperation.

However, on the night of the contact, Rustam showed up at his home, and he still remembers the scene.

Rustan's murderous eyes stared at him, and the cold light of the sword was extremely cold. At that time, Rustan said

"Trying to take away people's freedom again. Have you lived too long?"

As the wolf rider finished speaking, the messenger's head was thrown out. Looking at the head, Peter was frightened.

Today, this document was a warning to himself. Rustan didn't mind replacing the current bishop with another one, and he was also looking for a reason to clean up Mondstadt's nobles again. If anyone dared to jump around at this time, the blade would immediately chop the other person's neck...

Therefore, Bishop Peter held back even though he was extremely angry. He could not show his anger in front of them, and pretended that nothing had happened in order to save his life.

And this guy, Alendrin, is the same person as Rustam. He is also a noble. He is a member of the Gunnhild family, but he doesn't care about the interests of the nobles at all. He only cares about the stability of Mondstadt and whether the Knights will continue to be the same...

Following a bunch of mud legs, it's only a matter of time. Sooner or later, Gunnhild will be completely dragged into the abyss, Peter thought. This is also the true thought of all the nobles...

…………

"Try to play a tune?"

Qianye said this while looking at the four priests of the choir that had been summoned. Now Qianye had to polish the complete score without Wendy knowing. This was not an easy task, considering the little music he had only heard in his memory. In addition, he was not good at these things at all...

It is not easy to polish such a piece of music, but... by relying on myself to think and bump into trees from time to time, the music score was still written.

The four priests did not feel any resentment, because they had been given orders early on.

It is imperative to cooperate with Qianye's actions, and this is an order issued by the bishop himself. For the bishop, the respect in the hearts of these priests is greater than fear. Because the bishop's methods are quite clear to these priests. Although with the presence of the Knights, the influence is much smaller...

However, the long-term rule still brought about a long-lasting impact. This is difficult to erase in a short time. Perhaps only after the death of this bishop can it be gradually forgotten under the polishing of time...

Qianye didn't care about these things at all. To him, these were just the toys of clowns. Without power, they were nothing. As long as he had time, it wouldn't take long for him to completely solve the problem of the bishop. However, they didn't provoke him now. Compared to producing this song, Qianye didn't care about the nobles' affairs at all...

Now, what he needs more is to complete this gift.

After the song ended, Qianye felt that it sounded good. However, it was still far from what he remembered. Perhaps it was because it lacked the clear and pleasant sound, that is, the instrument in the accompaniment. Moreover, although replacing the guitar with the lute added a lot of lively musicality...

However, the lack of keyboards, percussion, strings and bass has reduced the overall musicality.

"Okay, this is my problem. I should think about it and come back to you later..."

Having said that, Qianye left quickly. He planned to continue thinking of ways to perform the instrument as it was now. Although it could still be presented as a gift to the Wind God, Qianye felt that since he was going to do it, he should do it to the utmost. He should put all his efforts into implementing it...

First of all, the bass is not considered because this instrument needs electricity as the principle of sound. First of all, in Teyvat now, only Fontaine Xumi or Winter Kanrea have the possibility to make this instrument. Other countries will find it difficult to spread these even after 500 years...

Qianye could still think of a way to replace the keyboard, that is, the piano. As for percussion instruments, Inazuma's small drum could be used as a substitute. As for string instruments, Qianye still needed to find a way himself. In Qianye's vague memory, Liyue's mirror flower harp was replaced with a guzheng. There was no way to replace string instruments, that is, the violin...

"Alas... the gift still needs to be given. I will naturally give him the best one. Let me think about it..."

Talking to himself, Qianye knocked his head again. Just like hitting a broken TV, it would be fine after two hits. There were more things he could recall, and at this moment. Qianye's face was stiff...

Because he found that he couldn't make a piano because the various parts in it must have at least tens of thousands of parts. (To be exact, more than 8000 parts.)

If he wanted to create it, he would inevitably have to ask Wendy for help. Otherwise, with Qianye only remembering a few memories, it would be basically impossible to make this instrument.

"Oh, I was too hasty. If I had known, I would have asked Wendy to help me make the piano when I made the guitar last time. Now, I can only make some more cuts..."

Having said that, Qianye decided to ask Alendrin and Rustan for help. Although he could make simple violins, he lacked rich music theory knowledge. If he wanted to make the gift more perfect, he would inevitably need help...

"So you need some help to make that violin?"

Rustan rubbed his chin, then he spread his hands helplessly. He said directly

"I can't help you with this matter. I was born a tenant farmer. I don't know much about music theory. I can only ask Alan Delin to help with this matter. After all, he is from a noble family. He has learned music theory since he was a child. Even if he has almost forgotten it..."

"He can also find the right people in his family to help. From this point of view, he understands music better than me..."

Listening to Rustan's words, Qianye also felt the same way. Soon, Qianye found Allen Delin. Then, Qianye showed him the simple violin he made. He frowned and said

"Although the structure of this instrument is good, many of its components are not suitable for conducting sound. For example, why do you use iron wire as strings?"

"Um... I don't quite understand. I see other bards use similar steel wires as strings..."

Listening to Qianye's words, Alan Delin felt speechless. Then, he said helplessly:

"I'll ask someone in the family to find some good replacement strings, and at the same time change the structure of your violin. The main thing is, your violin is too barbaric..."

"This thing is more suitable for photographing hillbillies than a musical instrument."

Then, about two hours later, the completely modified violin came out, and Qianye looked at it with a satisfied smile.

"Now, the gift to the God of Wind is finally complete. All we need to do next is rehearse it..."

(To be continued in the next chapter)

Chapter 42 Rehearsal

After getting the violin, Qianye quickly found the four priests. After handing the violin to them, Qianye then found Rosaline who was singing.

Looking at the smiling Rosaline, Qianye also smiled and said

"I've also prepared the music aspect. Can we rehearse now?"

"Of course, I've been prepared for this. This song will definitely leave a strong mark in Mondstadt's history. I'm extremely happy when I think that everyone will sing it at the Windflower Festival every year..."

Listening to Rosaline's words, Qianye was also very happy. However, the most important thing now was to rehearse. Only after the rehearsal was completed could this song be sung at the Wind Flower Festival tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Qianye quickly took Rosaline to the rehearsal place.

All the music has reached its current limit. The girl's singing is melodious. The harp makes the music more lively, and the string music adds a grand background. The occasional percussion music makes everything natural, except Qianye.

Everyone thought the music was perfect. Rosalin said happily after she finished singing.
