Chapter 56 He said that in the wind and rain, this little pain is nothing
When Herbo hurried to the residence of the second brother Long, he could only see Dany practicing swordsmanship on the lawn through the gate.
Just as he was trying to get Dany's attention, a voice sounded from behind him.
The voice was so gloomy and cold that Herbo felt like a cold wind blowing into the back of his neck.
"Kay, Lady Kayle. I come to visit Lord Viserys."
"What do you want without Mr. Viserys?"
As Dany's personal bodyguard, she was also warned by Brother Long to be on guard against this guy.
Therefore, Kyle's expression seemed alert and indifferent.
This made Herbo feel even colder.
"Well, it's nothing important, just a simple visit." Herbo said with a smile.
"Lord Viserys is out."
"Oh? Where did you go?"
Kyle looked at him coldly without saying anything.
Herbo realized his impoliteness and apologized quickly.
"When will Lord Viserys return?"
"I don't know."
Faced with Kyle's cold attitude, Herbo felt a little numb.
It seems that I have never been right about Viserys!
For the first time, he thought it was unlikely that Brother Long would be able to escape the Xiongyu Society.
As a result, he finally got the reputation of being a 'vicious fish eater'.
The second time he thought that Brother Long was just fooling around by making soap, but the soap turned out to be very popular.
The third time, he felt that Brother Long had offended the Frega family and would be in trouble sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, he actually got on the Zainen family's good side!
It's over now. The little bit of friendship between him and Viserys has been exhausted.
But Herbo still had to struggle.
He took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Kyle.
"Here, this is a small gift from me to Lord Viserys. Please give it to him."
Kyle took the small box from him, opened it and saw a black dragon bone ring inside.
The ring is set with a ruby.
"Okay, if you have nothing else, go back."
"Oh, okay."
Not seeing anyone, Herbo had to return to the carriage feeling a little depressed.
Just as the groom was about to leave, Herbo suddenly said:
"Drive the carriage under the locust tree in front. I'll take charge of your carriage today."
"Yes sir, three gold royals in total."
"Three golden dragons! Are your horse hooves made of gold, or are your wheels made of gold?!"
"Sir, you have to consider the time of day. If it were any other time, how could I dare to ask you for three gold royals?"
"Oh, okay, okay, okay! Three is three."
Herbo handed the coachman three gold royals with some pain in his heart. He planned to wait here for the second brother Long to come back.
...
At this time, Long Erge was on Faria's boat learning about the poetry competition.
This competition was not what Long Erge understood at first, like a variety show with contestants coming on stage one by one and the mentors turning around and so on.
The poets and singers who participate in the competition will submit their own pieces, which will then be performed by the singers and musicians of the Neptune's Palace.
By then, all kinds of singers and musicians will be spread all over Braavos.
The highest concentration of them is found near the Titans.
The judging criteria is the number of times the musicians and singers perform.
And this time everyone voted with their money.
If you play enough times, you will advance to the next round.
Otherwise eliminated.
To put it simply, it is like a recommendation mechanism at a certain point.
It is still relatively fair.
Even if someone wants to spend money to support it, it would cost a lot of money.
In addition, the three competitions of the Ten-Day Celebration are not held one by one, but are interspersed with gaps.
The general arrangement is as follows:
Song, competition, competition, song, competition, competition, song, competition, competition, celebration.
"So, except for the first round, which will be given one day in advance, the other two rounds will be given the night before?"
"That's right. Braavos hopes to produce better works on the first day, so they give more time."
Faria explained patiently.
Asha was staring at the second brother Long intently.
"In fact, I still suggest that you give up, Mr. Viserys. It would be very exhausting to participate in two competitions at the same time."
Viserys smiled wryly.
"Don't worry Miss Yueying. The first round of topics is the sea, right? I think I've already written it."
"It's finished?" Faria was a little unconvinced.
After all, I just told Viserys the topic, so there was less than twenty minutes in between, right?
Faria chose her words carefully:
"Mr. Viserys, if your piece is too similar to other existing pieces, you may be disqualified."
Faria almost said "plagiarism".
Brother Long pointed to the harp hanging on the wall and said:
"I'll play a song, you can listen first."
"Okay." Faria nodded, but Asha didn't go to get it.
"Asha!"
"Ah?" Asha saw that Brother Long was already a little distracted, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
"Oh, okay." Asha realized her mistake and handed the harp to Brother Long Er with a red face.
Brother Long Er saw that the harp looked a bit like a guitar or a ukulele.
In short, plucked string instruments are no problem for him.
I practiced a lot when I was chasing girls in school.
Seeing that he seemed to be adjusting the pitch, Faria and Asha were both very excited.
"I'm going to start."
"Um."
Brother Long Er gathered his emotions for a while, then began to play the prelude.
Listening to the prelude of this song, Faria and Asha felt that a scene of vast ocean and sky appeared before their eyes.
The voice was long, as if it was about to tell a story.
"Bitter sand,
The feeling of the blow on the face,
Like a father's scolding,
Mother's Cry
Never forget
..."
As Brother Long played and sang, the image of a young man running on the beach gradually emerged in front of the two girls' eyes.
He is full of longing and vision for the future, but he will also be hit by reality.
At this moment, a sailor with a determined face and strong physique encouraged him.
Encouraged by the sailors, he set sail for a long voyage.
But inevitably lost the way in the ocean of life.
At this time, the sailor stepped forward once again to show him the way forward.
The sound of Brother Long's singing and playing naturally spread outside the cabin.
Joseon, who was patrolling the lake, was a little far away.
Although he couldn't hear the lyrics clearly, the melody inspired many of his men.
Some of the sensitive guards unknowingly shed tears in the corners of their eyes.
"As expected of Miss Yueying." Joseon said with emotion.
But then he realized that the second brother Long was also wearing it, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was his work.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Jose Ang rejected his ridiculous idea.
Finally, when Brother Long Er finished his song, Faria and Asha's faces showed a different look.
Looking at the smile of the Second Brother Long, they only felt that the thing in their hearts that they had always been on guard against began to loosen greatly.
It seems that if you can really spend a night with such a man, it would be a very cost-effective thing?
