Episode 126 How stagnant water wins the festival (3)
The air has changed.
No, it wasn’t just the air that changed.
“ah… … !”
“How can it be such a beautiful song…” … .”
“Oh my… … medical charge.”
Fluffy hair stood up on my skin.
The closed mouth slowly opened.
[Titanic – My Heart Will Go On]
In the past, I played with the recorder in my mouth, ignoring all pitch beats.
Of course, it is completely different from then.
The skill ‘Heavenly Melody’ was not limited to simply playing an instrument, but was also able to recreate the background and memories of the song.
A huge ocean unfolded before everyone’s eyes along with a soft melody.
[Every night in my dreams… … .]
There was a man who wanted to live and dream of a new world.
There was a woman trapped in a cage, lamenting her fate and wanting to die.
This song… … .
It contains the story of those two people.
[I see you. I feel you… … .]
The man met the woman.
The woman met the man.
The two met each other as if by fate.
[Love was when I loved you… … .]
The man decided to die to save his loved one.
and… … .
The woman decided to live in memory of her loved one.
The song continued to play.
A mournful rhyme echoed through the forest.
In the silence where even the sound of breathing has stopped.
Jinhyuk busily moved his hands toward the climax of the song.
Long, thin fingers gently caressed each string on the instrument.
[Once more, you open the door… … !]
None of them have seen the movie.
That’s obvious.
Because this belonged outside the tower.
but,
Regardless of language and culture, all the elves here could feel their hearts beating rapidly.
beautiful.
Because I can only express it that way, my whole body was filled with tremors.
“No, that’s ridiculous. How can a human… … .”
An earthquake occurred in Tethlon’s pupil.
[Decartan] is an instrument that is rumored to be difficult even for elves to handle.
All 49 strings responded to different horsepower, and the tone that could be produced also varied depending on the tilt of the instrument.
But, what a brilliant performance.
It was a gesture that was difficult to believe even when seen.
‘No, it’s not just his hands that are great.’
Understanding of musical instruments. Above all, his level of understanding of the song he was currently playing was enough to give the listener goosebumps.
Teslon was determined not to show any regrets under any circumstances, but… … .
At this point, I had no choice but to admit it.
The other person is a monster of a different class, even in the field of music.
at the same time.
‘Damn… … .’
An image of myself wearing cat ears, a tail, and bunny shoes flashed through my mind.
I also pledged never to bet with that guy again.
＊＊＊
The five-minute performance ended, but no applause was heard.
It was because everyone was still immersed in the lingering emotions.
match!
“and… … Ahhh!”
It was several minutes later that the first applause and cheers erupted.
“Did you hear that just now?”
“I’ve never heard such a beautiful song in my life.”
“I think it’s a good thing I’m alive… … .”
The elves sighed.
[The fire spirit ‘Salamander’ shoots out a small fire.]
[The water spirit ‘Undine’ swallows the water droplets.]
The spirits were equally impressed.
‘Hehe.’

The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
Last time I came here, I was permanently expelled for polluting everyone’s ears.
This time the situation was completely reversed.
‘But was the recorder really that serious? I thought it was pretty good… … .’
I don’t know. When I get the chance, I should try one more time. For some reason, I felt confident that I could do well this time.
The applause grew louder.
Well, it’s not a bad thing to enjoy the elves’ applause and cheers like this.
Before that, the first thing to do is to make fun of Teslon, who is looking like he chewed shit over there.
“It’s been a while since I was in kindergarten, so my hands are a little stiff, but wasn’t it still worth listening to?”
He made fun of himself by deliberately mixing up honorifics.
This is much more effective than swearing openly or belittling someone informally.
“yes? excuse me… … Could you please answer me? hey? smart!”
“… … .”
Teslon pursed his lips.
He twitched his lips as if he wanted to spit out a curse, but that was all.
Rather, it was because he knew best that even if he spoke, it would be a loss.
“Then, I take it that you give in. “This is an additional costume, so please wear it throughout the festival period.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and took out additional accessories that he had kept in his subspace inventory.
“… … I was wrong. “Can’t you just look at this?”
“yes? haha. no way. The great race will speak twice with one mouth. It’s not like this, is it? no way. “No way.”
“… … Please. please… … .”
His face almost looks like he’s about to cry.
No, if I didn’t have eyes to see, I might have been crying already.
Jinhyuk slowly stretched his head towards Teslon’s ear.
And I muttered like a whisper.
“Please change your perspective and think about it. “Would you have watched if it were me?”
“… … “That’s it!”
“okay. That’s my answer. So wear it. And who said that? It’s easier if you give up. “If you’re having a hard time, think about those words.”
If you die, you are dead, there is no option to look after it.
There is no negotiation or compromise.
In the first place, war must be fought until one of the two falls to the bottom.
That way, you’ll never have to think about climbing back up again.
“haha. Looks like our ranger leader got hit again this time. Please be gentle. “No matter how energetic you are, will you be a match for Jinhyuk?”
Penheim suddenly approached and burst into laughter.
“It was just a light prank. How close are we? yes?”
“… … .”
Jinhyuk placed his hand on Teslon’s shoulder.
Let’s laugh. huh? Smile a little.
“What is more important than that?”
“The reason I came was because Jinhyuk won the concert. “I would like to give you a corresponding product.”
“oh. “What if it’s a product?”
“Normally, you can choose one of the instruments.”
It’s a musical instrument… … .
Elven instruments have their own rarity, so they are definitely not bad products.
It was easy to sell, and had the characteristic of instantly increasing favorability when used in a lively setting.
“First of all, can I take a look and decide?”
“hmm. “If you want, you can.”
＊＊＊
The place we arrived at after following Penheim was a small cave.
“From here on, you are not allowed to enter with weapons.”
“Please understand.”
Clap!
thud!
The guards guarding the entrance crossed the spears they were holding.
Still, to what extent should we be wary of it being a treasure trove?
“These people! “This person is the benefactor who saved the village!”
“No, thanks. “If you come to Rome, you have to follow Roman law.”
Jinhyeok shrugged and handed over the dagger and twin dragon swords he had.
No matter how formal the procedures were, once you came to the land of the elves, it was polite to respect their customs.
I didn’t want to make a fuss for no reason.
After a while, after passing a few more checks, we were able to reach the deepest part of the cave.
A place where all kinds of treasures collected by elves over a long period of time are stored.
As its name suggests, the interior was filled with rare items.
“mosquito!”
The sweet potato looked around with its amber eyes wide open.
The way it was wagging its tail made me feel like I had found a treasure I liked.
Jinhyuk was also surprised.
“It’s really amazing. “Honestly, I didn’t know it would be this bad.”
“haha. It was nothing. ah! Come this way. “The instruments are stored here.”
Penheim pointed to the instruments neatly placed on the rock.
From the Descartes played a moment ago to instruments resembling harps and pianos.
Musical instruments made by craftsmen showed off their splendid appearance.
No matter which one you choose, you will have no regrets.
but.
Jinhyuk’s eyes were focused on something completely different than the instrument.
‘Hoo.’
The exclamation that flowed from his mouth was filled with sincerity.
It had to be that way.
The relics I once saw in ancient literature, the ‘Molar of Pentagris’ and the ‘Fang of Pentagris’.
Never thought I would see this here.
The phantom beast, Pentagris, is one of the few spirit creatures that can move freely through all floors of the tower.
Even Jinhyuk only saw him once, from afar… … .
There is no need to tell you how difficult it is to find relics related to this guy.
‘Could it be that they targeted the elf village in Junghwa for this purpose?’
Jinhyuk, who was thinking so, quickly shook his head.
That can’t be possible.
There was no chance that Junghwa or Moorim would know information that he did not know.
‘By the way, it’s really gorgeous.’
The molar is a longbow that reaches approximately 1.5 meters in length, and has the effect of allowing it to materialize magical power and shoot without arrows.
In addition, its range and power were also evaluated as top-notch, and there was no opponent that could compete until the middle of the tower.
It means that it is a top-class relic recognized by everyone.
‘The canine side is also amazing.’
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned a little more to the right.
A dagger about 38cm long.
Uniquely, it had a black surface like obsidian, but the sword body was a subtle green color.
It was light in weight and had excellent balance, making it the fourth [green] grade among holy relics.
gulp!
Saliva ran down my throat.
… … I covet it.
The level 10 dagger I was currently using wasn’t bad, but I needed a weapon that was much better than that.
The higher you go, the stronger and more difficult it will be to deal with.
“How about this instead of a musical instrument?”
“Hmm. Sorry, but those weapons are relics we received after healing the wounded Hwansu. “Because it has symbolic meaning for the village, we cannot give this away carelessly.”
but. I guess so.
I would not hand over something of this magnitude as a commodity.
So, for now… … .
“I’ll take Descartans. “I tried it earlier and it suited me perfectly.”
“This is an excellent choice. After listening to Jinhyuk play, I was convinced that there was nothing more worthy of Jinhyuk than this instrument.”
Penheim smiled broadly and stretched out his hand toward the instrument.
[Elder ‘Penheim’ recognition completed.]
[The seal is lifted.]
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
As expected, a security barrier has been installed.
‘It’s about 2 stars.’
In a split second, the structure of the barrier and the flow of magical power were all fully understood.
＊＊＊
About 30 minutes pass.
Jinhyeok, who came out of the cave, parted ways with Penheim.
Penheim left after urging them to enjoy the festival, and Jinhyeok walked through the forest along the path with the sweet potato.
It was right then.
“mosquito!”
“huh?”
“Beeee.”
The sweet potato dropped the dagger it had hidden in its mouth on the floor.
It was a holy relic kept in a cave, the fang of Pentagris. Moreover, because of how it was hidden, the longbow molars were visible under the stomach.
“Uh-huh! “What if I just take it out?”
Jinhyuk put his finger to the sweet potato’s mouth with a serious expression.
What a theft!
No seriously.
Taking someone else’s property without permission is a truly bad act.
“mosquito… … .”
The sweet potato bowed its head.
This probably means reflecting.
“what? “You saved the village, so you deserve this?”
“mosquito?”
“Hmm. but. “It might be better for me to put it to good use rather than rotting in a cave.”
“mosquito!?!?”
Goguma shouted that he had never said such a thing, but Jinhyuk continued talking.
“Whew. I can’t do it. I really didn’t want to do it this way, but if I return it now, my cute sweet potato might get scolded. really. “I never thought of that, but I think we should keep this a secret between us.”
okay.
This is all an unavoidable action to cover up the mistake that Goguma made.
Jinhyuk glanced around.
There were no eyes to see.
I didn’t feel any signs of popularity from the elves.
and… … .
Before I knew it, the bow and dagger on the floor had disappeared like smoke.
