The Queen of Cards took out her lute from her magic travel backpack, plucked the strings, and started playing and singing.
With the lute in hand, the Queen of Cards' demeanor immediately changed dramatically, her expression focused and solemn, as if she was treating something extremely sacred.
As her long fingertips strummed the lute from slow to fast, the melodious and low melody filled the entire stairwell.
Her piano skills are impeccable, she can definitely enter the room, capture people's hearts easily, and her mood changes with the change of rhythm.
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes sad, sometimes angry.
As the cheerful female solo sounded, the atmosphere reached a climax.
Even those who don’t understand music can’t help but follow the beat and start humming.
If you have a better sense of music, dance gracefully.
After the song was finished, there was thunderous applause in the stairwell, which was very lively.
This place is already crowded with native residents of the Endless Ladder.
These native residents have the upper bodies of elves or humans, and the lower bodies are colorful snakes. In addition, they have a pair of eye-catching patterned bird wings.
They are all women, and their beauty is no less than that of succubi. Most of them hold a musical instrument in their hands, of all kinds.
In the second half of the song, the card queens are no longer solo, but have their accompaniment.
They are the Winged Snake people. Because males are rarely seen among them, they are also called Winged Snake women.
Although they belong to a branch of snake people, their temperament is far from those insidious and cunning snake people, and the two sides rarely get together.
Snake's reputation in the multiverse is generally positive.
They are born bards, lovers of music and art.
Food or even gold has no meaning to them. To them, songs, stories, poems or works of art are of value.
On the endless ladder, there is the largest known group of winged snake women in the entire multiverse.
They consider themselves to be the guardians of the Endless Ladder. If you want to climb the Endless Ladder, it is only a matter of time before you meet them.
In other words, the moment he entered the endless ladder, he was already being targeted by at least one winged snake woman.
It’s just that they don’t show up most of the time.
Unless you try to destroy the Endless Ladder, or destroy the art of trampling, you will have to face their wrath.
On the contrary, if you can show superb artistic standards like the Queen of Cards, you will directly win their respect and be treated as their guest.
There will even be a group of winged snake girls voluntarily guarding the place in secret.
The Queen of Cards can treat Endless Ladder like her own, which is also a point that cannot be ignored.
Gavin knew all about this and took the opportunity to summon the Singing Stone, smiling and saying: "Let us continue playing music and dancing."
The Singing Stone is like cheating existence.
Directly recorded and broadcast the world's top music.
Not only those winged snake girls stared at this unique magical equipment, their eyes sparkling.
Even the well-experienced Card Queen couldn't help but exclaimed several times, and soon became immersed in these exotic tunes.
Music has no borders. Even if they don’t understand a word of the lyrics, it doesn’t stop them from appreciating the beauty of the music and getting inspiration from it.
Some winged snake girls played musical instruments and followed the ensemble.
Some write hard and write down their own feelings of music.
Some danced along.
Their dancing postures are extremely unique, with the twists and turns of snakes and the agility of birds. Their colorful wings and snake tails make their pleats bright and pleasing to the eye.
For a time, the entire stairwell turned into a happy dance party.
"Beautiful lady, I wonder if I would be honored to dance with you." Gavin stood up and extended an invitation to Taharisi.
She was the most discordant note in the entire stairwell. She kept staring at the pot with a blank expression, as if she was still immersed in the world of dry rice.
For her, the situation in front of her was too strange, too far away, and she was a little at a loss.
Facing the invitation from Gavin, there was a trace of surprise and confusion in her eyes that could not be concealed.
The scope of this change is too great. Not long ago, the two sides were fighting for life and death.
Gavin seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a smile: "Since none of us can do anything to anyone, it is better to put aside our hatred for the time being, so that everyone can relax, and we will talk about the future matters later."
The world is diverse, and so are interpersonal relationships.
His future relationship with this triple shadow is still unknown.
It depends on whether the future interests of both parties conflict or are the same.
There is always room for differences and common ground.
Taharisi was silent for a few seconds, and finally replied dryly: "I don't know! I haven't learned!"
"I'll teach you." Gavin didn't have any In a mocking tone, he started gesticulating directly on the spot, " You just need to remember the basic dance steps and movements. This is much easier than killing people.”
“Just try it. If you don’t dance well, don’t blame me if you lose your fun.” He is not the kind of person to be coy, and stands up readily.
"Dancing is something like this. As long as you dance, there is no spoiler, no matter good or bad." Gavin has his own unique opinion on this.
When the two of them joined hands, Gavin clearly felt that Harisi was out of touch, and his whole body was tense.
It seems like he will draw his sword and take action in the next second.
Gavin once again taught on the spot: "Relax, you have to learn to relax. Dancing is the opposite of fighting. It is a relaxing thing for both body and mind. You can be as relaxed as you want, as comfortable as you want."
The dividing line between martial arts and dance has always been very blurry.
As long as you master the method, you can flexibly switch between the two.
Taharisi explained this with practical actions. After Gavin led her through the door, she quickly got into the mood. Her movements were standard and skillful, not like a beginner at all.
It is undeniable that the Triple Shadow possesses otherworldly beauty and charm. She has perfectly inherited the charm and ability of her father, Prince Wu An. Her whole body is filled with a unique evil and cold beauty, and her eyes are There is chilling and coldness in it.
She integrated all of this into her dance, forming her own style, which is cold, chill, decisive and powerful.
This is a very tense dance.
Music and dance have always been in harmony with each other.
When she first learned, she naturally danced to the music.
After her dance style came out, the music changed with her dance steps. The rhythm became faster and faster, like a war drum, which instantly pushed the atmosphere to another climax.
Taharisi jumped more and more, and finally directly integrated her own abilities into it, including the most famous Triple Shadow and Shadow Army.
In an instant, the field was crowded with Taharisi's figures, especially the one that was transformed into a vampire clone. It danced intimately around Gavin without any instructions, combining charm and The teasing is displayed vividly.
In addition to controlling blood and the vampire priesthood, the Vampire God also controls debauchery, which is a companion product of blood addiction and is more powerful than drugs.
In addition to blood-sucking, promiscuity is essential for a vampire's blood-sucking party. Stimulated by the hot blood, everyone becomes like a beast.
It’s just that Taharisi’s situation is different from ordinary vampires.
The clone is just a part of her body, and she is obviously unwilling to let the vampire's bloodthirsty and wanton personality control her.
Under the influence of the general environment of Azgrat, she was not uncommon in lewd and debauched parties, and she was not considered a chaste woman.
But she has a strong desire to control and rejects these emotions that are beyond her control.
Gavin clearly felt struggle, control and resistance.
Every time the vampire clone is on the verge of losing control, she will merge into one again and suppress the vampire's wild personality again.
This extremely tearful character gave her a huge contrasting temptation, so Gavin couldn't help but take the opportunity to eat tofu and feel the special style from the abyss.
That’s all.
Gavin did not do any further extreme behavior. Although he had evil thoughts, they were not with the Three Shadows.
But between the Card Queen and those winged snake girls, the current intersection between the two parties is just the beginning, and they will spend more and more time dealing with each other in the future.
After opening the door with the help of the Tears of Selun, although it returned to the shape of a waxing moon, it was no longer as lifeless as before, and its existence could not be felt at all. Instead, some abilities have been reopened, all related to the endless ladder.
Master Key (Special Ability) - Tears of Selun are closely related to the Endless Ladder. It can open any portal in the Endless Ladder, even if there is a special secret on it. key, or special opening conditions.
Portal Perception (Special Ability) - You will automatically sense the location of the portal related to the Endless Ladder within one kilometer.
In other words, as long as Gavin masters a portal into the endless ladder, he can use it to explore the entire multiverse.
This is still the most basic usage.
As long as a stable route is opened, cross-dimensional trade can be carried out.
This is pure huge profit.
Metals that are scarce on the material plane are just like garbage on the earth elemental plane, everywhere.
The water source that is scarce in the fire elemental plane is inexhaustible in the water elemental plane.
As long as you master the corresponding channels and resell, you can make a lot of money.
There are countless business opportunities like this in Endless Ladder.
It is natural to have good relations with the local residents.
Don't ask them to help you, at least don't become your own obstacle.
It would be even better if we could draw them into our trade.
Gavin knew enough was enough. After the Singing Stone played ten world famous songs, he decisively took it back into his body and said with an apologetic look: "This magic equipment has usage restrictions. , I can only go here today.”
The number of songs in the Singing Stone is limited and must be saved.
But it is only for emergency use. As long as he returns to Faerûn, this problem will be solved.
Regina is the diplomat best suited to deal with them. I believe she will be at ease here and her popularity will be no less than that of the Queen of Cards.
There was a sigh of disappointment in the audience, but they also accepted it happily.
Taharisi, who was dancing enthusiastically, immediately evacuated at the speed of light as soon as her singing stopped.
The ebony skin color makes it impossible to see anything strange on the surface, but the look he looks at Gavin is obviously a bit unnatural, with a bit more emotion than before.
Since entering the Endless Ladder, everything she has experienced with Gavin was something she had never experienced before in the Bottomless Abyss, and the emotions that arose were also very unfamiliar.
This is slowly opening a new door for her. It turns out that life can be more than conspiracy, trickery, killing and assassination, and can also have such beautiful things.
When I leave Azgrat this time, I may not only be looking for a way to break the blood baron's control of my clone, but also experience a lifestyle that I didn't have before.
The Queen of Cards also said with satisfaction: "Good food, good wine, good songs, good dances, any one of them is a joy in life. Now that four of them are here at the same time, what could be more worthwhile than this?" Satisfied.”
“Of course there will be good wine, good food, and good singing and dancing every day,” Gavin replied with a smile.
The Queen of Cards thought about it seriously, shook her head and said: "If this is true, it is not a good thing. When everything becomes abundant, many things will taste the same.
Only when you are tired can you taste the delicious food; only when you are hungry and thirsty can you appreciate the sweetness of wine.
It is precisely because of scarcity that good songs and dances are memorable and unforgettable. "
Gavin argued without thinking: "I disagree with this. Your hunger theory just sublimates some dross and confuses it with truly beautiful things.
Food is food and it will not change whether you are full or not, and the same goes for singing and dancing.
What is beautiful is beautiful. If it is because of insufficient appreciation and taste, it means that their level is not enough and needs to be tempered. ”
"It makes sense, but my idea is too biased." The Queen of Cards did not mean to argue with Gavin, but asked with a smile, "We can exchange information now. I am very curious about your story. When did the abyss produce such a beautiful melody and such a hot dance? "
"Our story is long to tell, but if we tell it ourselves, it will be biased. "
Gavin led the way in an understatement, "I believe that according to the convenience of the endless ladder news, within three days, the story about us will be here, and there will probably be more than one version.
After you have heard those versions, I will tell you in detail when I have time.
Good stories and experiences take time to be verified and accumulated.”
Gavin did this not just to show off, but to prepare to leave this matter to professionals.
Because this matter involves all aspects, if it works well, it will not only be an important blow to the enemy, but also an excellent opportunity for the expansion of one's own beliefs.
For example, the Furious Priesthood just captured by Uthgar, the Father of Battle.
Another example is the contract priesthood just opened by the goddess of wealth, Watkin.
Only by being widely known can we have the chance to attract more believers.
Compared with modern journalism, not only the gods on Faerun, but also the gods of the multiverse, their methods are too simple and primitive, and their efficiency is too slow.
If placed on Earth, the dark prince Graz'zt was forced by the Lord of War Tempus to sign an alliance under the city and imprison himself for a hundred years.
It has been on the front page for a long time, and most of the world knows about it.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.
If the information was too open and transparent, it is estimated that the walls of the unbelievers would have been filled with wailing souls.
Many people will lose their fear and faith in the gods.
Many gods believe that it is more conducive to the promotion of their beliefs among stupid people.
The Queen of Cards did not force it, and said calmly: "Then I will wait for that day to come."
Gavin then changed the topic to the information he needed, "No Madam, does she know if there are portals to Faerûn nearby? There are also portals to other continents on the planet Toril! "
The endless ladder is constantly twisting and changing as time goes by.
Past life experience has some value here, but it is relatively limited.
In comparison, regulars on the endless ladder like the Queen of Cards have first-hand information.
In Endless Ladder, exchanging gate information is the most common transaction.
The Card Queen thought about it for a moment, shook her head and said: "In the past three years, none of the doors I have set foot in lead to this planet.
But it is far from the World Walker Guild. It’s not far. You can go there and inquire to see if any of the practitioners have set foot here.”
"Walkers Guild!" Gavin's eyes lit up.
Endless Ladder has two major indigenous forces.
One is the winged snake girls in front of me, and the other is the Walker Guild.
However, compared to the former, the latter is obviously more organized and purposeful.
The World Walkers Guild is also called the Travelers Guild. As you can tell from the name, they are composed of a group of travel friends.
It's just that this group of travel friends is not limited to one world, but travels to various different worlds through portals, and does some cross-dimensional business along the way.
They are natural believers in the Path Priesthood.
Gavin originally wanted to wait until he had more time later, and then slowly look for them and start cooperation with them.
Now that we have met, naturally we can’t let it go, and asked, “Madam, can you take us there? I am willing to use these boots as reward.”
While speaking, Gavin started from himself From his portable dimensional bag, he took out a pair of travel shoes, which shone with a rich magical aura.
"These shoes are equipped with light body skills, jumping skills, and my road power. They have the functions of light body, jump assist, and basic acceleration. They are most suitable for climbing. On the endless ladder, you can't do without a pair of good shoes."
"I'll take you to the Walker Guild, no problem." The Queen of Cards lingered on the travel boots, with a I couldn't hide my affection, but still refused, "I have gained a lot from you, so I should do something for you. It would be too greedy to receive such a precious reward."
What Gavin said is correct. In the endless ladder, nothing is more important than a good pair of shoes, and she understands this very well.
The travel boots in Gavin’s hands not only have functions, but also have great appearance. You can tell at a glance that they are designed and made by skilled craftsmen.
Gavin couldn't help but throw the travel boots to the Queen of Cards, and responded with a smile: "To others, these travel boots are indeed valuable, but to me, they are not. Difficult to get.
Because it is a product of my territory and can be mass-produced.
If you, lady, are really feeling sorry for yourself, then I will hire you to be the spokesperson for our travel boots in the Endless Ladder.
Help me promote it in the Endless Ladder. In the near future, I am going to open a travel boots and shoes store in the Endless Ladder, specializing in selling this type of travel boots. "(End of this chapter)
