Chapter 297 - The musical troupe

The diamond beasts were slain , but now there were 2 dead bodies which looked horrifying. I mean I've gotten used to it , but the kids Era and Maria are completely fine too. I mean these kids were even poking around their bodies . Do these kids even realise that there is a live dead body .

Even the adults were more afraid than these kids

Jay : Hey Era .

Era :

I know that it's a dead body , but it's fun to poke around . I know Maria thinks so too.

Maria :

Look Era , how many bits I've collected.

I only have one thing in my head . That these kids are terrifying . If I was a kid I eoulve cried for just seeing the monster .

McElroy:

Finally done . Now it feels like I've gotten some excercise .

The mages approached us .

Mage :

The magic you used how did you do it .

Jay :

It's just like you do . I casted the magic and then blasted it .

Mage :

But we didn't see you or your friend use any chanting to use magic .

Jay :

Era , tell me .

Era :

Yes Maria developed magic system and spread it everywhere but she wasn't the first one to use it .

The one who used to use it were the absolute masters of the elements . But they did it on instinct and there was no method .

Until she developed it all on her own .

So yes there is not time loop foolery this time .

Mage :

Please tell us , how did you do it .

McElroy:

Well it's not that difficult. First you collect your mana then run it through your skin and then when you push the mana out start the conversion process . But remember the mana must be converted in order with the type of elements as it can harm the body by exposing it to the same element , such as fire or lightning . Both of them if they come in contact with your skin they could harm you . To counteract these things you can either wear non conductive materials or increase the distance by ejecting the mana at a greater speed and then delaying the conversion process by a tiny bit . And these processes are not just limited to just your hands or feet but anywhere in the entire body but these processes can be dangerous and can harm the part . Like passing mana throught the brain can affect the brain producing brain damage . Passing through reproductive organs can produce defect or produce erectile dysfunction . So doing this through arms or legs if the best safest option . You can also try torso . And then you should remember one thing that never start the conversion inside the body or the conversion in your body depending on the element can produce various harm on your body .

So these were some of the tips of how to do it .

Mage : (Mouths open )

I'm sorry , can you explain again .

McElroy:

No .

Jay :

McElroy let's move .

The attempt of the mages to learn the magic pattern was unsuccessful for one was less descriptive to understand and one was the most descriptive to understand.

They tried making sense but then gave up .

Our small little group started moving again this time out of the village . And we ended up on a very refreshing sight . A field of flowers where every color of flowers existed .

It was so breathtaking of a sight . That McElroy started gasping .

Wait ? McElroy what happened .

McElroy:

I remember this place .

Jay :

How we've been here now .

McElroy:

I saw it in my dream . When we were in the spirit forest .

Never thought I would get to see it again . The flowery valley . So it was here all this time . I know when we are where we are .

McElroy:

Hey Era , do you know where exactly we are .

Era :

In a valley of flowers .

McElroy:

No I meant in the future where is this place .

Era :

It didn't survive . If it did then the me in the future would rather live there instead of spending time in the crypt .

McElroy:

Why were you in that crypt , that there is such a desolate location.

Era :

I was in there just for 2 hours to be honest. To receive you . After you left I left as well .

Even I wouldn't want to hang there .

McElroy:

I'm confused then what was the dragon guarding .

Era :

It wasn't guarding but instead it was waiting for his friend .

McElroy:

I see .

Maria :

Hey Era come with me I want to show you a secret .

Era : (to Maria)

Coming .

Era : (To McElroy)

I gotta go .

Maria :

Misters , you can wait here for a while .

She left with Era . And the left the two of us alone .

Jay :

This valley of flowers is so refreshing and a change of scenery like this I never knew I would enjoy something this much trivial . I think you had a very refreshing dream then .

McElroy:

Yeah .

Flashbacks to the valley of flowers of the dreams he wasn't able to forget two gorgeous ladies fighting over him . Though he barely remembers them .

The secret locations where the girls were turns out it was just a tree which had a swing attached to its branches and both of them were playing on the swings.

The swing was itself small and was only capable of taking in kids . Any adult if they sat there the swing would break .

Though they both were having fun . And when I saw them from afar I was having an unfamiliar feeling I should not be having . I felt like a father .

But ..... I have no one , what a sad moment . The life I have outside this place . I was nothing in the past and I don't want to reflect on that . I don't even want to remember it .

I have left everything.

Moving ahead it's now evening . Both of them are done playing around and we were returning to the inn where I hear a melody .

I turned to its location due to natural instincts .

A man was advertising

? :

The one and only masters of classical music will be doing a show in this village gets your tickets now . Take this opportunity now . Or you'll miss it

Well I listen to rock , edm , bass , raps , even soundtracks . But classical music is something I haven't heard in a while . I should check it out .

I am not familiar with classical music in any way .

But before I approached someone else approached first .

Era :

Jay can we .

Jay : (Thumbs-up)

We can .

The tickets were bought , these men had set up their camp outside the village as they were travelling musicians . The show is supposed to start at 7 pm

We have 2 hours left so we went back at the inn .

Where we were once again met with the presence of drunkards asleep at the tables . Maria's father checking the ale . And the smell of the inn .

Wait a second . I think the name 'von' means someone from the nobility so why is someone of the surname working at an inn .

I've met just two of them Maria and her father . We've had quite a few runs into each other .

He seemed quite a good person to be honest from the way he talks . But it might be his business mode and he acts differently. But one thing I've never seen her mother anywhere .

Nah I shouldn't pry into others business .

We had our stomachs filled with food and we ventured outside the village to the area , where the show was being conducted. It was being conducted open air style where benches were kept and there were small lanterns attached to a wire and was hung up in the air .There was a small wooden stage that would be enough to fit a maximum of 10 people . But there was only one problem it was deserted . Did that guy dupe us .

.

? :

I never thought someone would come here just to listen to our music .

On the stage the performers had arrived it was a band of 5. Each carrying their own musical instrument with them .

They set their instruments down and opened the bag which revealed their instruments.

They were classical Indian music instruments

The order of those instruments are as follows .

A Tabla , Harmonium , Sitar , a flute .

The players themselves were themselves traditional Indian clothes .

Player :

Thank you for attending this musical show of ours .

We're not well known in the lands . But one day we will change that .

We're the bereau of classical music.

After that introduction the music started playing .

The flute started playing first which set up the basic tone for the first song . It was soft at first

then the tone started changing where one by one the other instruments started playing .

The song itself was a song of love widely known throughout the lands . First was the beginning of the love its execution is supposed to be soft . But it's execution on classical music hits different .

Each note , was played with utter perfection . The time it was played was perfect and all the instruments played in sync with each other while they still felt like their own seperate part converging into one . But it suddenly stopped .

I was snapped from my bliss . But then the singer started singing the main part of the song .

The part shows the most furious phase of the song of love which enacts a story of love .

All the rage was filled in the main part .

The instruments beating shifted towards being furious .

And finally they dimmed down . They song was in the closing end . Where the love was finally reunited . As the singer sang the hearts of the audience was captured . And finally the song ended .

It had won my heart . The synchronous heavenly music which intertwined with others . The perfection of playing each note was displayed here . A truly beautiful performance .

I clapped as loud as I could. Era and McElroy showed appreciation.

Maria :

Hey Mister we were going to do magic training after this right . I hope it ends soon .

Well she's a kid after all she'll one day understand.

And the performance countinued .
