Chapter 1057 588: An Elven Music Box for 1,000 Rare Resources?
Anyone"s will could not change the modifications in the situation.
As time pa.s.sed, the conflict between the Crimson Moon and the sect had already reached its climax.
Every day, several players lost their territories or even died in battle because of this faction war.
Especially after one released the faction points, the battle between the two sides intensified.
They could obtain points as long as one killed a member of the opposing faction. One could exchange the points for various high-level treasures in their respective groups.
The players who stood out from the fierce compet.i.tion earned generous rewards.
In the tense atmosphere, the war mood in the Mortal Plane grew stronger.
On the 15th of May, everyone guessed that the war against the Crimson Moon would start in a few days.
A few Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce in Solan City that attracted the attention of the residents–the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce and the Solan Chamber of Commerce. In the most conspicuous positions of their shops, there was a product called the Elven Music Box.
Adele was an ordinary commoner. She was young and strong, and she did not become a hero due to her limited talent. She was only level 4.
Her job was as a porter for a medium-sized chamber of commerce. She was strong enough as a warrior.
Countless civilians like her in Solan City, which had a population of nearly ten million.
She could still resist the fatigue of her body, but after working hard every day, it was difficult to challenge the emptiness of her mind.
Almost all the prost.i.tutes in the alley next to her residence could call her name because of this.
Today, Adele had finished moving the goods ahead of time with a few of her companions, so she had already gotten off work early.
She declined his companion"s invitation to join them for a meal. She hummed an unknown song and walked into the nameless alley with light and familiar footsteps.
"I wonder if Elena wore the underwear from last time?"
"No matter what, we have to play all night today!"
The images that appeared in her mind caused Adele to feel excited and impatient.
Every time she did something, this kind of emotion was remarkably high. After doing something, it would be boring. She enjoyed this feeling very much.
"Young Master Adele, it"s been a long time since I"ve come to drink tea. Would you like to try the newly bought tea leaves tonight?"
"Young Master Adele, my chest seems to be swollen. Can you touch it?"
"Aiya, you haven"t been in our room for half a month. You must come and do it today."
Adele walked past with her head held high amidst the calls of the street prost.i.tutes.
She enjoyed this scene the most every time she came.
Only those with enough money could see the brightest smiling faces here.
That was a treatment that she, as a porter of the Chamber of Commerce, would not usually receive.
She laughed and quarreled with these coolly-dressed prost.i.tutes for a while. She slowly came to the depths of the alley.
It was in a small courtyard without a signboard.
Contrary to Adele"s expectations, there would always be people coming and going in the past, but today, it was empty. There was not a single person.
Adele stepped into the house with some doubt.
They crossed the front yard and entered the main hall.
At this moment, she saw that more than 20 girls sat together. She looked curiously at a round box placed on the table.
"Can Elena make a sound?"
"I heard that one could sell the Elven Music Boxes for tens of thousands of rare resources…That was only a 1,000-yuan rare resource. Did she buy a fake one?"
"How? Let us hear it…"
Adele"s curiosity could not help but soar when she saw this scene.
She coughed lightly.
"What, you"re not doing business today?"
Everyone in the room turned their heads in unison. They were stunned at first when they saw Adele. b.u.t.t then, they all laughed.
"Oh, it"s Young Master Adele. It"s only five o"clock now. It"s because you work well and have more time that you"re here so early…"
Ordinary people wouldn"t come here in the afternoon.
Adele chuckled and walked closer. She looked at the box on the round table and asked curiously.
"What is this?"
The group of girls immediately started chattering.
"This is the Elven Music Box Adele just sold. I heard it can play beautiful music like the legendary elven magic music box."
"Unfortunately, Elena seemed to have been tricked. We tried for a long time but didn"t hear anything."
Adele"s position wasn"t significant as a staff member of the Chamber of Commerce, but her knowledge wasn"t shallow.
"The Elven Magic Music Box is a treasure all the n.o.bles fought for. Last time, I heard that the second young master of the Mammoth Merchant a.s.sociation spent 200,000 units of resources to buy one from the auction house."
As he spoke, he looked at the young girl beside him. She wore a fiery red dress and had thick makeup on her face.
"Elena, how much did you spend on this?"
Elena hesitated when she heard him say that.
"1... 1000 rare resources…"
Adele sighed.
That was all her hard-earned money.
One thousand rare resources were enough for her to earn for a few months.
She sighed and shook her head.
"One thousand units. Even a broken Elven Magic Music Box is worth tens of thousands of units. Elena, one must have tricked you."
"Return the resources."
These words immediately caused the other girls to start a heated discussion. Some mocked, some advised, and some comforted.
Elena shook her head.
"No, the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce sold this one. It couldn"t fake."
"Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce? The merchant a.s.sociation that sold the Black Sorbet Ice Cream?"Adele frowned.
"It is said that the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce, Solan Chamber of Commerce, and the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce have connections. Even those big shots in the underground world of the north city don"t dare to make a move against them."
"Why would such a big guild sell fake goods?"
Elena didn"t believe them.
"It"s true. I saw the gnome salesman play beautiful music with her eyes."
She didn"t say anything else and continued to fiddle with the Elven Music Box.
However, she had bought it too quickly in her excitement just now, so she didn"t listen to the method the other party had taught her in her daze.
This time, she felt more and more depressed and couldn"t make a sound.
Adele shook her head when she saw this.
The idea of playing horse riding with her tonight suddenly disappeared. She turned to look at another plump girl.
"Cream, come and accompany me tonight."
The plump and fair girl nodded her head indifferently. She was just accompanying anyone to earn money.
She was no longer interested in watching Elena play with her silent toy.
The two held hands. Adele excitedly prepared to bring the other party upstairs to play the new move he had thought of a few days ago.
However, just as she stepped onto the stairs, a surprised shout came from behind.
"Done! It turned out that one placed the energy crystal at the back upside down!"
She finished speaking. One pressed the sound of a b.u.t.ton and rang out. In the next second, an ethereal and incomparably beautiful music suddenly floated in the room.
Adele was like an ape that walked in a modern skysc.r.a.per. She immediately felt a vast impact.
The night elf"s beautiful song struck the soul.
She turned her head abruptly and saw that the round box had already been closed. A heart-wrenching sound reverberated from inside.
"This is true?"
"One can buy an Elven Music Box for a thousand units of rare resources??!"
The image of the second young master of the Chamber of Commerce who spent 200,000 rare resources to buy a magical music box appeared in her mind. He heard the scene when he was moving the goods while he showed off to his subordinates.
That 200,000-yuan Elven Music Box… One couldn"t even compare to this 1,000 rare resource magical music box.
He let go of the plump girl"s hand and walked quickly along the steps to the table. He stared straight at the magic music box that slowly sang.
He didn"t know the name of this ballad, but it was so moving that he trembled.
Moreover, this kind of singing was not the acapella of the Elven Music Box. It also carried many unknown instruments.
The rhythm was rich.
The voice gradually lowered after an unknown period.
It finally stopped, and another voice suddenly sounded.
"h.e.l.lo everyone, I am the singer of these songs, Night Elf-Fei Ya. Thank you for listening to my songs. In the coming days, I will sing more songs I have created alone. I hope that everyone will continue to support Feiya."
"Thank you, my loyal fans. Love, Fei Ya."
Finally, there was the sound of a kiss from Muma.
Adele heard it, and she felt her soul was about to float into the sky.
She loves me! Fei Ya, who was Fei Ya? Night Elf? It was such a nice name. She must be beautiful and charming.
Adele looked at Elena in excitement.
"Anything else? Is there any song by Miss Fei Ya? Quick, play it again!"
Elena, who was equally excited, shook her head.
"No, there are no more. Miss Fei Ya has three magic sound recordings, but I only have enough to buy this one."
Adele"s excitement did not diminish.
"I knew it. There"s more!"
"Tell me, where did you buy the Elven Music Box? Violet Merchant a.s.sociation, right? You bought it at 1,000 units of rare resources?"
Elena smiled when she saw how excited she was.
"That"s right, it"s the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation! It only costs 1,000 rare resources. Young Master Adele, I bought it. Is it true?"
Adele ignored the other party"s teasing and hurriedly said.
"That"s all for today. I"ll go and see if there"s any more..."
She turned around and jogged out of the door. Then, the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She ran toward the nearest Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce.
When Adele arrived at the shop with the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation"s logo, she was shocked to find the shop packed with people.
And several people ran over in a hurry like her.
Her expression turned anxious as she hurriedly squeezed her way in.
"Quick, give me, give me Elven Music Box!!"
"I have resources, I have resources!!"
Fortunately, the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation had sufficient stock, and Adele had bought the Elven Music Box as she wished.
She looked at the same magic music box as Elena"s. Adele grinned.
Then, she looked at the magic sound tape outside and waved her hand. The ten sets were all sold.
And such a scene was still happening all over Solan City.
