Chương 128: New Magical Music

"Mr. Richard Targaryen~" Dorian addressed Richard by name directly: "You're a poet from the Gulf region. I've heard that the music there possesses both the passion of seafaring men and the elegance of elves, making it quite captivating—would you be willing to demonstrate it?"

No, I don't want to.

Richard glanced at Dorian, then at the little monkey on the noblewoman's shoulder, and thought: Isn't performing something like monkey-making in the literal sense here?

Besides, if you ask me to perform, I have to perform. Wouldn't that make me lose face?

If I were to be shoved in a tavern packed with adventurers, I wouldn't mind singing a song to liven things up.

But the scene now is vastly different from that of a tavern.

And you're clearly targeting me with your words. Tsk, what did I do to offend you?

In conclusion, Richard shook his head, adopting the same humble expression as Dorian: "All I know are some rough country tunes; how could I possibly embarrass myself before you gentlemen?"

Dorian raised an eyebrow, as if he wanted to say something more.

At this moment, Isabella, sitting next to Jonas, spoke up: "Richard is not only a poet, but also a reliable comrade-in-arms. His talent is not only reflected in the strings of his instrument, but also in the blade of his sword, during the chase by vampires—" Elsa's little eyes darted around, and she nodded rapidly: "That's right, I saw it with my own eyes.

The vampire's servants lunged at us with their claws outstretched—" Thanks to the princess and the future grand duchess's back-and-forth banter, everyone's attention immediately shifted to the short story about fighting vampires.

Seeing this, Dorian had no choice but to swallow his words. William, who was beside him, also frowned slightly, as if deep in thought.

Richard smiled with satisfaction and gave Isabella and Elsa a thumbs-up under the table.

Thank you so much, girls!

Now---- I can keep stealing lamb chops!

Soon, the mealtime ended.

Richard wasted no time; he took a large bag of food back to his bedroom, then broke them up, removed the bones, and threw them into the toilet.

[Delicious! So delicious my tongue almost fell off!] Richard blinked.

Excuse me, Mr. Toilet, where is your tongue?

Well, sometimes knowing too much makes you unhappy.

Ugh, I'm a little stuffed, I feel a bit nauseous.

Wait a minute!

Upon hearing this, Richard couldn't help but recall the terrifying scene of the backflow of water after the toilet in his university dormitory was blocked in his previous life, and he was so frightened that he took three steps back.

Fortunately, the toilet managed to hold it in—actually, it couldn't hold it in and couldn't vomit, because there was no water inside; it relied solely on inscribed wind magic to flush away the filth.

[Burp! Bliss! My life is complete!] The wooden toilet has increased its affection for you; from now on, you'll never be constipated again whenever you sit on it.

You have received a gift pack from the wooden toilet.

Believe me, my friend, even if I'm constipated like I'm ten months pregnant, I still won't sit on your chair.

Richard sighed softly and turned to open the gift package.

[You have learned a Tier 3 spell: Ode to Spring Rain I - This is a beautiful piece of music praising the first light rain of spring. It can improve the listener's mood, eliminate negative statuses such as paralysis, poisoning, and fear, or enhance the effects of buff spells and blessings on them.] Note: "I've always considered myself cold and resolute, not easily swayed by sounds, until that day I had food poisoning, turned around and found someone in the bathroom.

I waited half an hour before finally hearing the flush." —A cold-blooded killer with a loose anus.

Li looked at the rows of text and pursed his lips.

Is this a magical melody we haven't heard in a long time?

It's pretty good; it looks like it can be used in many situations.

For example, when combined with Dispel Magic, it can remove all negative effects from other players with a single click.

Or, when combined with an inspirational melody, it can instantly grant a small dwarf the immense power of a dwarf.

By the way, both "Ode to Spring Rain" and "Inspirational Song" are magical music, so they should also be within the scope of the Prankster God's flute enhancement.

That means the inspirational song can be amplified three or even four times? One song could probably turn a dwarf into a super dwarf!

No, that's a bit ambiguous.

Does "super dwarf" refer to an extremely powerful dwarf, or simply a very short person?

Hmm, I'll write a letter to Hammer later and ask him about this.

Rumble!

Just as Richard was lost in thought, a deafening clap of thunder suddenly rang out outside.

He peered out the window and discovered that the airship had unknowingly drifted into a dark cloud.

Oh no, will this ship get struck by lightning?

He stepped out of the room, intending to ask what was going on, but the next second Grace grabbed him and pulled him toward the deck.

Miss Red Copper Dragon explained, "Hurry, there's something amazing up there, you'll miss it if you're late!"

No, what's so great about it? Explain yourself!

Richard wanted to refuse, but he was slightly weaker than the dragon.

In the end, humanity was utterly defeated, and he was still dragged onto the deck of the airship.

Once aboard, he discovered that not only he and Grace were there, but also the noblewoman he had met before who had hitched a ride with, Dorian, Elsa, and Mary who were with the noblewoman, as well as Amelie and the three siblings of the Pegotti family who were protecting the mother and daughter.

Everyone gazed with great interest at the enormous crystal at the stern of the ship.

Just as Richard was about to ask them what they were waiting for, he saw lightning bolts shoot out from the dark clouds not far away, crawl across the sky like a giant python, and hit the crystal squarely!

Crackling sounds!

This bolt of lightning was like a vanguard; after it, more lightning surged forth, continuously striking the crystal.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with dazzling lightning, making it difficult for Richard to open his eyes.

A few minutes later.

The airship emerged from the dark clouds.

Richard then had a chance to look at the crystal again, only to find that apart from a few tiny arcs of electricity flashing across its surface, it was completely undamaged.

He speculated, "Can crystals absorb and store natural lightning?"

Grace nodded: "That's right, and not only can it store lightning, it can also convert it into pure magic power to power the levitation array at the bottom of the ship. What an amazing treasure!"

"I really want to snatch it—ha, little Zoya, I knew you and I were thinking the same thing—" Oh no, these two dragons have become empathetic.

Richard completely forgot his terrible act of stealing lamb chops to block the toilet and quietly took a step forward, as if to show that he had distanced himself from the evil dragon.

"Hissing!"

But just then, a sharp roar suddenly rang out behind him.

What the hell is this?

He turned his head and was surprised to find that this time the voice came from none other than the singing monkey on the noblewoman's shoulder!
