338 Cultural Invasion in the Alternate World (2/2)
Then, he dragged Andonara toward the crowd.
When they were closer, they heard that someone was singing a rather poignant tune.
Andonara listened for a while and remarked in surprise, ”What a strange melody… It's nothing like what I've heard before. Besides, it's played by multiple people.”
As the daughter of a merchant and a queen who had a basic understanding of art, she had promptly discerned that those people had a vastly different music style.
Andonara looked at the performers in the square and then at Roland. ”Are they Golden Sons too?”
Roland nodded with a smile.
”What's the name of the song? Is the singer the creator of the song?”
”The name of the song is 'A Long Time Later,' created by the Milk Tea Group.”
Andonara nodded. ”It's a nice song.”
Those players were either Bards or Dancers, who had all been focused on playing and singing skills.
Therefore, their performance of the song was even better than the original.
Roland knew those players to be the leisure players who waged a cultural invasion in this alternate world. It was said that they were rather famous among the nobles of Hollevin.
Roland looked around and found a lot of nobles in the crowd.
All of the audience were crazy fans, passion on their faces.
After the singer was done, the players began to play the rock version of 'Canon' with their respective instruments. There was no electric guitar here, but the smart players achieved a similar effect with a weirdly-shaped six-stringed lute.
As the music spread, more and more people stopped and listened. Some even started clapping along with the beats.
Very soon, even Andonara was mesmerized and clapped the beats along with other people.
The atmosphere grew more and more heated, attracting more and more people to the concert.
About three minutes later, the performance was over.
”Another song! Another song!”
The audience cried aloud. Hundreds of people were gathered here.
At this point, a male player stood up and said, ”My friends, we will hold a concert outside of the city the day after tomorrow. If you're interested, you're free to enjoy our programs in the woods east of the city. Sixty-three performers and singers will bring you unconventional acoustic entertainment.”
Hearing that there would be more programs the day after tomorrow, most of the audience left, but some zealous fans stayed, hoping to have a chance to speak to the musicians.
Andonara seemed reluctant to leave too.
At this point, a female player approached them and asked, ”Are you Roland?”
”Yes.” Roland nodded.
”I didn't expect to see you in this city.” The female player observed Roland for a while and said, ”You're handsomer in person than you are on videos.”
Hearing that, Andonara immediately grabbed Roland's hand and looked at her warily.
The female player was rather pretty and must've added points to her Charm too, but she was still not as good-looking as Andonara.
Roland looked at her and asked, ”And you are?”
”I am Britney, leader of the Vienna Opera Company.”
Roland blew a whistle teasingly and said, ”Those are interesting names, the Vienna Opera Company's and yours.”
Britney smiled and said, ”Thank you, Roland. I would like to ask you a favor. Could you help us establish a small opera house outside of the city?”
