Chapter 345 The Golden Sons Are The Most Artistic People

The performers of the Vienna Opera Company were climbing the helical stone stairs around the pillar . At this point, Britney finally understood why Roland asked if they were scared of heights earlier .

It was fine at the start, but after thirty meters, the view down below was rather breathtaking .

More importantly, though the stairs were broad, there were no handrails on the side, which made the climb even more intimidating .

“Why didn’t Roland leave us any defensive measures?” A female player slowly walked up against the inner wall, not daring to look out at all . Her legs were shaking too . “I’m about to pee my pants . ”

“He created such a massive building in only two minutes . I don’t think he can be so considerate on the details,” a male player explained . “What he has done is already impressive enough . Though I don’t know the battle-type players very well, it would’ve been difficult to create this without cheating . ”

Leading the team, Britney said, “I know a thing or two about the battle-type players . He should be the strongest Mage player now . ”

“Tsk, tsk . If only you could seduce him into our company to work for us, chief . ” The girl who almost peed herself slowly walked up while holding the wall and said, “If he can build a stage anywhere and is so good at fighting, he can protect us from all future troubles . ”

Britney sighed helplessly .

The male player chuckled . “Nice thought, Daphne . Roland is with the queen, who is as pretty as Chief Britney without adding Charm to herself . Also, did you not notice that another cute girl was with him too? If I were Roland, I would be a fool to ditch them for our chief . ”

Britney was rather upset .

The female player named Daphne retorted, “How can you compare the NPCs in a game to a real person?”

“Why can’t I?”

“Those NPCs are all fake . They’re gone when you take off your immersive helmet,” replied Daphne matter-of-factly . “But our chief is real . She still exists in this world without the immersive helmet . If Roland were smart, he would choose our chief . ”

“But our chief is not as pretty without the immersive helmet as she is now, right?” the male player pointed out .

At this point, Britney suddenly looked back at the male player angrily .

Knowing that he had misspoken, the male player shut up in embarrassment .

Daphne said angrily, “You men care about nothing but a pretty face . Can you be more sophisticated? You’re too shallow!”

“Would you like to marry a man who weighs 120 kilograms, who doesn’t have any money, who is greasy and filthy, but who is gentle and willing to give everything to you, Daphne? If you do, I will acknowledge that you are a sophisticated woman, and I will apologize to you . ”

The male player had almost given up, but since Daphne had criticized all the people of his gender, he couldn’t help but fight back .

Daphne’s lips were cramping in fury . “Shea, you’re really annoying . You are not a gentleman at all . I won’t speak to you again . ”

Though she was an art student, Daphne was only eighteen in reality, so she tended to be a little bit unreasonable .

Such bickering was actually routine in the group . The others listened and laughed while they walked to the top of the pillar in a long line .

A hundred meters would’ve been covered in two minutes on the ground, but since it was a dangerous climb, it took him almost ten minutes to reach the summit .

Then, almost everybody exclaimed in surprise .

The top of the pillar was a flat, smooth circle about fifty meters in diameter, enough to accommodate an orchestra of two hundred people .

“Take out the tools with which you make a living and sit down at the center . ” Britney clapped her hands and said, “We’ll begin when Roland is up . ”

Hardly had Britney finished when a person swooshed out from one side of the pillar and slowly landed before the performers .

It was Roland .

“Flying is really great,” Britney said enviously . “You can do anything you want . ”

“I wouldn’t go that far . ” Roland smiled and, looking at the performers who had sat down, asked, “May we begin?”

A lot of stuff could be kept in the system Backpack . An additional chair was definitely not a problem .

Britney took out her own chair and instrument too . She sat down in the middle of the performers .

Then, the conductor walked to the front of the performers with a baton, ready to direct the music .

“We’re ready . ” Britney smiled at Roland .

Roland stepped back and snapped his fingers with his left hand that was still intact, and a white halo of magic appeared before everyone .

Britney cleared her throat and began to speak .

Half a minute later, a slightly distorted female voice echoed throughout Encart City .

“Since the mayor has closed the city, this is the only way we can perform for you . Because of the distance between us, three shows had to be canceled . Special thanks to Roland who has provided a special stage for us . ”

Everybody in Encart City heard the voice .

They all pushed their windows open, left their houses, or walked to their rooftops and looked at the enormous pillar .

“The first program will be an orchestral version of ‘Sound of Silence . ’ Please enjoy, my friends . ”

Then, pleasant music came from the sky .

The music in this world was almost exclusively introduced by Bards .

Most Bards played solo, and they mostly performed recitations that feathered stories of Heroes .

Most recitations were performed with a similar melody, with barely any variations .

The audience had grown tired of them after hearing too much .

But the music in modern society was different . It had several genres and was much more technically mature .

The orchestral version of “Sound of Silence” immediately amazed and enchanted most of the audience .

The nobles found it pleasant too, but they didn’t really feel great .

After “Sound of Silence,” it was the modified versions of “Scarborough Fair,””Croatian Rhapsody,” and other famous songs .

Then, four delightful pop songs were played .

Because they weren’t sure what the residents of this city liked, the performers had prepared a few songs from every genre . Some were slow, some blue, some cheerful, and some were even heavy metal .

Everybody in the city dropped their work and looked at the enormous pillar in silence .

Even Andonara, who had a deep understanding of music, greatly enjoyed herself . She even closed her hands and rubbed her thumbs, with an expression that suggested she was holding herself back, when she particularly liked a song .

The performance lasted more than two hours . When it was over, everybody was still staring at the pillar, as if they didn’t want it to end so soon .

After several minutes of silence, Andonara said to Roland, “The elves are no longer the people that are best at music and art; you are . ”
