Dear Broom Knight

#287 - Lowry slowly lets go

Bards have summarized many special performance methods for this purpose.

Therefore, the performances in the castle restaurant have always been very grand… They need feedback from people with culture, knowledge, and even those who can sense the fluctuations of magic.

But for a bard to successfully advance, it's never just about the fluctuations of magic or the ripples of music.

What they need is the ability to stir the emotions of the audience, to infect them with their music and make their hearts surge.

This is actually the most difficult thing.

Even if they become a formal professional, a bard who can't do this has no chance of advancing to the intermediate level… A low-level magic-based professional, even a mage, can at most be respected, but will never be feared.

However, in this world, you can't live too well on respect alone.

Who doesn't want to live with dignity and comfort?

Similarly, if you risk your life, the rewards that a high-level professional brings back are definitely things that a low-level professional can't even dream of.

As long as they can see hope, normal people will still know how to work hard.

Even in noble families, not many talented people will live a pampered life.

Indeed, there are many noble children who slack off, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that no matter how hard they try, they have no way to reach the upper limit of their current life.

Whether they work hard or not, it's all the same, and may even cause their lives to decline… After all, any professional needs to consume certain resources to advance, and people who are not determined enough will find it really difficult to persevere.

In addition, there is also the possibility of encountering a Count Montes, who is afraid that you will work too hard.

Therefore, regardless of whether they advance or not, the bards of the Gezar Barony have purchased storefronts on Lowry's commercial street… As affiliated members of the Living Feather Knights, they have this qualification and this income… and then opened their own small taverns.

Every other day, they would go there to perform in person, to see if they could awaken the resonance of the common people who entered randomly.

As for when they are not there, the ordinary people they have taught naturally take the lead.

As long as they have a skill, their income in the Gezar Barony will not be too low, so these children are very serious and hardworking.

On Lowry's shopping street, after noon every day, it is filled with beautiful music… Lowry has shown his importance to children from the day he became the Baron of Gezar.

In his territory, even under his very nose, how could anyone dare to do anything detrimental to children?

Therefore, regardless of whether the most customers of the tavern are at night, the bards will not let their students under the age of 12 work at that time.

The children all practice hard in the morning, and then go to perform and sing in the tavern of the restaurant in the afternoon.

This is what they should do as apprentices, and Lowry will not really treat this kind of thing as child labor.

In this world, the only thing that can determine a person's fate is whether they can support themselves.

Lowry will never interfere too much with the fact that ordinary people can open up a new career path.

He just expressed his approval and asked Valera to invite two bards with more determined personalities and smooth handling to Qingfeng Valley.

This can also be regarded as a characteristic of his territory.

As for whether this will cause misfortune to children in other places… Lowry doesn't think that bards in other places can learn from it.

Cost performance is a problem that always needs to be raised.

Most nobles want the pride of having professionals perform and sing for them in person, rather than being really interested in music.

Even if a small number of them do, they may not be willing to pay so much money.

Yes, the musical instruments in this world are also specialties of certain countries, and their value is very high.

Although after buying them back, Lowry can also replicate some of the musical instrument making methods in his demiplane, but without skilled workers, would he do it himself?

Where does he have that leisure?

As for handing over the musical instrument making methods to his subordinates and letting them learn slowly, it's really not worth it.

In his territory, almost the vast majority of people have things to do, so there is really no need to toss about for the needs of a few people.

You need to know that these musical instruments, which have formed a tradition and have enough sheet music, have quite complicated production methods.

It takes a lot of time and money to train enough systematic workers.

When Lowry's territory has not yet experienced a surplus of manpower, he will not consider such wasteful and troublesome things.

Even a person like Lowry would mutter about the price after buying enough musical instruments to satisfy his own bards, so you can imagine how much it would cost other nobles.

In the case of having other ways to show off, nobles will not follow suit even if they are envious.

At most, some very rich royal families will follow… But it is a blessing for ordinary people to enter the royal family as servants!

It would be too cost-effective to be a musician for the king!

The whole family can be regarded as changing their family, and they will not be easily bullied by villains.

As for whether there will be any accidental unlucky children after the world becomes prosperous… Although Lowry has a bit of character, he is definitely not the kind of saint who is concerned about the future.

Moreover, he really doesn't think he can have such a big influence.

This world, probably because it has just developed, music, painting, and the like have not yet formed a sufficient system, or, before these arts have entered the common people, or even the bottom professionals, they faced the arrival of the White Dragon.

At that time, although there were not many outsiders in the world, there were still quite a few.

Therefore, the profession of bard quickly developed rapidly with the promotion of temples and nobles… Nobles with poor talent, but who originally knew a little music, directly embarked on this path under the guidance of the gods.

Even in some worlds where music and art are spread more widely, the musical instruments of the common people are more often flutes, small drums, and two or three-stringed zithers.

Complex musical instruments are basically controlled by the upper class.

The newest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

But at least they have them.

The only musical instrument owned by the common people in Lowry's world is the hand drum, and those who know a little about the four-string lute are all those who have returned from the army… This is the biggest helplessness in this world.

The general history of musical instrument development is from simple to complex with demand, for example, the lute has changed from two strings to four strings.

But in this world, the four-string lute appeared at the beginning.

Originally, even with the influence of outsiders, it would not affect the whole world.

However, who told humans to resist the invasion of the White Dragon!

What development, what local art, everything has to give way to living, living with dignity.

From that day on, the underlying music of this world stagnated at the most primitive level, with drums as sound and whips as melody.

After that, the Churches of the Gods discovered the benefits of doing so… The love of intelligent creatures for music cannot disappear, so, in the eyes of ordinary people who are happy to sing monotonous ditties, hearing those dignified hymns at the grand divine festivals every year is their best day.

If you listen to the holy songs too much, the content will inevitably be remembered in your heart, and you will naturally become a believer of that god.

Then, the Churches of the Gods also began to suppress the profession of bard.

Of course, what they showed was not suppression, but the way of absorption and co-optation, restricting the profession of bard to the noble class.

However, just when their suppression had not reached the final step, the gods collapsed, and the churches of the few gods who remained were not very good either, but they were basically playing upper-level games, and the profession of bard slowly fell into the mortal world.

However, in the hearts of ordinary people, the concept that the profession of bard is not something that poor people can touch has been formed.

Although some country tunes have also begun to appear, ordinary people still dare not think about musical instruments and the like.

Lowry doesn't know what impact his actions will have on this world, but even a homebody thinks that a world without symphonic music is too boring.

He has already given up his love for Chinese music, at least he has to try to see if one day, pop music will sound in this world?

Lowry sat by the window of his study, watching Taylor leave the castle with dragging steps, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

After realizing that his life would become very long, Lowry could no longer only consider the immediate things when considering issues.

He can't accept it if he thinks that he might be happy for five hundred years, and then there will be only boredom left.

Therefore, he no longer huddled in his castle alone to enjoy life, hugging his head, not listening to anything, not thinking about anything, and not interfering in anything, like he did in the past.

But it was precisely because he discovered such a change in himself that Lowry suddenly agreed with some of the White Dragon King's practices.

Of course, there was also a clearer understanding.

Travis, who had many great ideas about his throne and future a hundred years ago, has now changed a lot.

His participation in various things has gradually mixed the preference of 'whether it is interesting' into the creation of an orderly future.

Lowry can understand this kind of change too much.

After all, he now occasionally thinks… If the future is immutable, then what is the point of his life?

Therefore, after building the territory according to his own ideas for so many years, Lowry decided to gradually let go of the management of the territory.

In short, the people he trusts are all on his Living Feather Roster, so there is no need to worry too much.
