Chapter 3380 Invitation Letter
"What a wonderful dream. I not only dreamed of the music, but also the name." Uriel turned his head and looked at the gradually dazzling early summer sun outside, muttering to himself: "Is it you? Is it the music you brought?"
After being in a daze for a long time, Uriel slowly got out of bed.
Last night, the housekeeper Cha said that he would come over during the day. If he saw me still lying in bed, it would be bad...
Uriel got out of bed and made a special effort to tidy up the quilt.
But as he was tidying, he suddenly froze: Why do I suddenly care about other people's opinions?
Since his partner died, Uriel moved here, living a decadent life of drunkenness and dreams every day, not caring about anyone else's opinions, just thinking about relying on alcohol to numb his memory and reach the end in a daze.
He has become accustomed to such a decadent life, and it is actually very difficult to cheer up again.
It is easy to fall, but difficult to get ashore.
According to past habits, Uriel would get up, listen to prayer music, laugh at himself, buy wine, live a life of drunkenness, and die in dreams as usual.
But for some reason, Uriel suddenly didn't want to do these things today.
He even felt a little tired of those depressing things.
It seemed that in one day, the haze accumulated in his heart was mostly cleared.
Why did this happen?
Uriel pondered for a long time, and finally, he attributed the reason to... "Black Sheep Confession Song".
"Are you not used to my current life? Are you alerting me through music? Cleansing all the sins?"
Uriel sighed deeply and went to the bathroom.
For the first time in a long time, he began to tidy up his face, trimming his messy stubble and shortening his long hair... After a while, the person in the mirror raised his head.
Although the man in the mirror looked much older than his normal peers, he was at least much more energetic than his previous depressing appearance.
Looking at the new self in the mirror, Uriel wanted to say "I'm back", both to himself and to the deceased.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that talking to himself in the mirror was a bit too immature and not suitable for his age, so he finally suppressed it and just silently chanted his name in his heart.
After coming out of the bathroom, the sunlight outside had penetrated the broken glass and illuminated most of the attic.
The temperature was also rising.
Even in the morning, people were hot all over.
However, Uriel didn't care about the temperature. He found a set of performance clothes from the deepest part of the cabinet-a black tuxedo that was tightly wrapped all over.
This was Uriel's favorite performance clothes.
After being depressed, he put it at the bottom of the box. Now that the performance clothes have seen the light of day, they are no longer as new as before, and even some mold spots can be seen, but Uriel doesn't care and puts them on.
The thick tailcoat and the rising temperature made Uriel's forehead a little wet.
He didn't care about his body that was gradually oozing sweat, but took a deep breath and came to the piano.
He was so serious about trimming his appearance and dressing up formally just for the next performance. Yes, he planned to play "Black Sheep's Confession" again.
Although he had played it last night, his mood at that time was completely different from his current mood.
At that time, he was immersed in the present.
But now, he wanted to say goodbye to the past.
And "Black Sheep's Confession" was the watershed of this mood change, and it was also an important fork in his life that he thought.
Therefore, he had to sit upright and perform solemnly, so as to live up to himself and the expectations of his "old friend".
He exhaled a long breath, and then inhaled deeply again.
With the rise and fall of his abdomen, Uriel's fingers finally moved on the keys.
The fingers turned into phantoms, like wild bees flying. The bright piano music quickly began to spread in the attic and kept echoing...
There was no one living around, so Uriel could perform this song unscrupulously.
Sweat kept falling from his forehead, and the music was constantly pushed to new heights. Uriel seemed to have merged with the music.
A few minutes later, the song ended.
The action was also frozen here.
The sun was shining, and Uriel, wearing a performance costume, raised his hands very high, and the whole person was like a frozen wax figure. But it was not as lifeless as a wax figure, but radiant, like a great artist performing his last song in glory!
After an unknown amount of time, Uriel slowly put away his movements.
He unbuttoned his clothes and pants one button at a time, and his whole body returned to nakedness.
His body was very tired, and every part of his body was soaked with sweat, but his heart was very happy, and the smile at the corner of his mouth reached his eyes.
He felt that he was alive.
...
The sun was high in the sky.
Housekeeper Cha arrived as promised, bringing a box full of clothes.
The clothes inside were not the dirty clothes taken away last night. Even if they could be washed clean overnight, it would be difficult to dry them.
Moreover, those clothes were out of season.
The clothes that Housekeeper Cha brought were all new clothes of the season.
In addition to the clothes, Housekeeper Cha also brought two servants to help him clean up the messy room.
The first floor, like yesterday, was full of dirty furniture and falling wine bottles. The two servants immediately cleaned up the garbage here. Judging from their skilled movements, this was not the first time they came here.
Butler Cha came to the second floor and prepared to help Uriel clean up his bedroom, which was the attic.
According to past experience, when Uriel's bedroom door was opened, there were clothes scattered around and a smell of alcohol.
But today, when housekeeper Cha opened the bedroom door, he was stunned... because the room was clean and all the mess had been put into place. Even the air is still filled with a faint fragrance.
"You're here?"
Butler Cha looked around and saw Uriel wearing a light shirt, sitting at the table, holding a pen in his hand, and seemed to be writing something.
The most important thing is that when Uriel turned his head to talk to him, Butler Cha saw his smooth face and neatly combed hair.
This, what's going on?
Master Uriel changed overnight?
There was surprise and a hint of surprise in Butler Cha's eyes.
Has the young master figured it out?
Butler Cha was extremely excited. When he came last night, Uriel was playing the piano. At that time, he felt that there seemed to be some changes in Uriel. Now that he came back, the changes were even more obvious!
Has the young master finally emerged from the haze?
Butler Cha really wanted to ask, but he didn't dare. This feeling of being swallowed when the words came to his mouth was similar to the timidity of being close to home, yearning for him but not daring to meet him.
In the end, Butler Cha suppressed the floating thoughts in his heart and kept warning himself: wait a few more days, wait a few more days...
It is not too late to speak again after confirming that Master Uriel really understands his thoughts.
Thinking of this, Butler Cha abruptly changed his tone and asked, "Young Master is very energetic today. Who are you writing to?"
The reason why it was determined to be a "letter" was because Butler Cha saw the envelope next to it. Although there was no writing on the envelope, it was probably because the letter had not been finished yet.
Uriel inserted the quill into the inkpot casually and nodded: "I am writing a letter, but halfway through, I hesitated."
"Oh? I wonder why you hesitate?"
Now that the room was very clean and there was no need for him to clean it up, Butler Cha simply came behind Uriel and played the role of a listener.
Uriel had never thought of asking for help from others, but for some reason, he was in a particularly good mood today and his desire to talk was much stronger than before.
In addition, the person asking the question was Butler Cha, who had loved him the most since childhood. Uriel thought for a while and then expressed his confusion: "Butler Cha, when you came last night, you should have heard the music I played. Bar?"
Butler Cha nodded: "It's wonderful, but I don't feel it's suitable to talk in front of the people of the Glory Church."
Although Butler Cha did not hear the core of "Black Sheep Confession Song", he had a vague feeling that this piece of music might be rejected by religious personnel.
Uriel did not hide anything and said bluntly: "This piece interprets an anti-religious story."
Butler Cha was silent for a moment: "Did the young master write this?"
Uriel shook his head: "No."
Uriel didn't say where the music score came from, and to be honest, few people believed it.
"Does the young master want to find an opportunity to perform this piece of music? This kind of anti-religious music is not suitable for performing in Dawn City." Butler Cha: "How about the young master go to Wandeng Harbor to perform?"
Uriel: "No, I have no intention of performing."
Butler Cha: "If there is no performance, then does the young master have any questions about this piece of music?"
Uriel: "Does the housekeeper think that when I played this piece of music yesterday, it lacked a little flavor?"
Missing a bit of flavor? Butler Cha was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
He doesn't know much about music appreciation, he just thinks it sounds good.
As for the taste of less food, as a layman, Housekeeper Cha really doesn’t know much about it.
Uriel also understood Butler Cha's situation and answered directly: "This piece of music is actually not piano music, but comes from the harp."
Butler Cha was stunned: "Harp?"
Uriel nodded: "Yes, just because the original version is a harp, I played it on the piano. Even though it is generally complete, it still lacks a little flavor."
"This piece of music is very important to me, and it may be able to change my future."
Uriel is not talking nonsense. At least his changes today are, in his opinion, the result of "Black Sheep Confession Song".
"So, I want to find someone to perform it on the harp, preferably someone who can perfectly reproduce the core of the song."
When Uriel said this, he pointed to the envelope on the table.
"I want to find a famous harp player to re-enact "Black Sheep Confession Song." Uriel: "I originally planned to invite Luz, and I also wrote half of the letter, but..."
Uriel sighed: "But when I imagined the scene when Luz performed this piece of music in my mind, I always felt that it didn't quite match."
Although Butler Cha is not very good at music appreciation, he knows a lot about the people who play music. After thinking about it, he understood what Uriel meant: "Indeed, although Luz is a master at the harp, it should be noted that Luz's lover is a devout believer."
"Even if Luz himself has not expressed his faith, it is certainly not good to have a religious lover perform anti-religious music."
"Also, it may not be able to interpret the charm of the music."
For many pieces of music, only if the nature of the piece matches the story in the piece can the corresponding charm be performed.
Let a person who is not against religion perform anti-religious music. Even if he can perform it, he will definitely not be able to achieve the ultimate performance.
A reserved piece of music may be accepted by the public, but it is difficult to become a true art.
Uriel also nodded: "If you want to perform to the extreme, Luz is indeed not very good."
"But if I don't find Luz, I don't know who to find. I don't know many harp masters, and Luz is the best among them."
This is also the reason why Uriel hesitated.
Butler Cha looked at Uriel's tangled expression, he pondered for a moment, and whispered: "Or, ask... him."
Butler Cha did not say the name, but just used a "he" instead.
Uriel didn't react at first: "He? Who is he?"
After waiting for a long time without an answer, Uriel turned his head and found that Butler Cha's expression was a little strange, and he was hesitant to speak.
Uriel narrowed his eyes and thought of a person in his mind: "You mean... Gu Laimo?"
Butler Cha nodded silently.
Butler Cha knew that Gulaimo hated Uriel very much, and he also knew why he hated him... It all started with Uriel's partner.
Uriel's partner was Gulaimo's biological sister.
Before she encountered an accident, Gulaimo thought that Uriel was a scumbag who seduced his sister and looked down on him very much; later, his sister was persecuted and disappeared. Even though Gulaimo knew that this matter had little to do with Uriel, he stubbornly believed that it was Uriel who failed to protect his sister, which led to his sister's disaster.
In short, Gulaimo just didn't like Uriel.
Being so hated, Uriel naturally didn't have a good face for Gulaimo.
Generally speaking, Butler Cha would not mention Gulaimo's name on weekdays, but at this moment, he inexplicably thought of this person.
Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was the most appropriate.
Why Uriel hated the Glorious Church was because his partner was persecuted by the Glorious Church.
Gulaimo loved his sister very much, and he hated the Glorious Church very much because he hated the Glorious Church.
The most important thing is that Gulaimo is a master of harp performance!
Moreover, he is far better than Luz.
Gulaimo was once the finale of the stage of various countries. In the field of harp, if he claims to be the second, no one dares to claim to be the first.
A person who hates the church and is a master of harp performance is naturally the most suitable for "Black Sheep Confession".
The only thing to note is that Gulaimo also hates Uriel.
Gulaimo may not agree to Uriel's invitation to come and play.
After listening to the words of the housekeeper Cha, Uriel began to slowly lean towards Gulaimo in his heart... He also knew that Gulaimo hated him, but if he knew that this "Black Sheep Confession" was suspected to be related to "her", would he be willing to come?
Uriel was silent for a moment, and nodded to Butler Cha: "Gulmo may indeed be able to perform the most extreme "Black Sheep Confession Song", I will try to invite him..."
In order to make the performance reach the extreme, Uriel also put aside his unreasonable emotions towards Gulaimo, picked up the feather pen, and quickly wrote the invitation on the letter paper.
Not only did he tell the origin of "Black Sheep Confession Song", but also marked his own guesses.
Even in order to attract Gulaimo, he also wrote a small part of the score.
After writing, he handed the invitation letter to Butler Cha.
Gulmo settled in Dawn City. If nothing unexpected happens, he will receive the invitation today... I just don't know if he will come.
