Vol 2 Chapter 3: Pointing

After dinner, the song and dance ensemble is about to perform.
The girls rushed into the background and started to make up for themselves, one after another, noisy like a large group of larks.
The girls of the Violet Song and Dance Troupe all have a good voice. What they are best at is singing their amazing arias with their wide range of vocals. They are dressed in gorgeous palace attire, and they are dancing gracefully to stretch their singing voices.
Tonight is performing "Tiraniya", a traditional repertoire of the Reims Empire, which tells about the 300-year-old Rose Warrior Idistrik, the founding monarch of the Reims Empire and his wife Tiran A love story in Ya, the story is extremely sensational, fully showing the image of a generation of warriors fighting for justice and ultimately creating a beautiful country.
A typical opera sung in honor of the imperial monarch.
The dance column's pillar Dais plays Tiranya, and on the other pillar, the actor Bart plays Edith Stricker. I have to say that the performance of the Violet Song and Dance Troupe was quite good. Daisy showed her style on the stage in a gorgeous court robe. The handsome little boy Bart wore a warrior's armor and appeared in an extraordinary manner. In front of everyone.
Daisy's singing voice is very beautiful, like a nightingale singing, and Randy plays Tiranya's maid, a very thoughtful woman, deliberately provoking Idestrick and Tiranya's feelings, Trying to replace Tiranya.
Xiuyi is very doubtful whether there is such a maid in history. It is not difficult to seduce the monarch to go to his own bed, but it is not clever to want the monarch to put off his most cherished woman, but he is stupid enough to find death.
"How are my girls?" Clarice stood beside Xiu with arms folded and asked Xiu with a very proud tone.
It looks like she hopes to get the beautiful words she expects from Xiuyi.
Xiu thought about it, and then said, "Head of Clarice, I must admit that you have a group of very good girls. They not only look beautiful, they also have good singing voices, they also perform very well. Angels are singing and dancing on the stage. I heard they were all trained by you? "
"Yes, they were all trained by me," Clarice smugly said.
"I also heard that you study song and dance, melody, and are good at these girls. Therefore, the Violet Song and Dance Troupe has an elegant name among its peers: the cradle of the showgirl?
"Yes," Clarice replied proudly.
"But in my opinion, this may be the biggest insult to you." Xiu Yi coldly.
"What did you say?" Clarice froze in a moment.
"You know what I mean, right? You train them, but you can't keep them," Xiuyi answered.
Although the Violet Song and Dance Troupe is only a small group, it has always been quite famous in the industry. Clarice herself is a versatile showgirl, and the showgirls she has trained are always very popular with other showgirls.
Because Violet's economic situation is not very good, many showgirls will leave for other song and dance troupes after gaining some skills in order to seek more benefits.
Violet therefore leaves a large number of excellent girls every year.
"The cradle of the singing girl" not only means that Violet has the ability to cultivate excellent singing girls, but also means that they have not left their ability.
Clarice looked at Xiu angrily: "I never interfere with my girls' stay. They have the right to choose to leave or stay. You must know that I am not the kind of greedy and shameless nobleman who will not force me. The girls work for me. They have the right to pursue their own happiness. "
She noticed that when she said that she would not leave someone forcibly, Xiu Yi's eyes showed a joke, so she said coldly: "Of course, for a small unidentified liar, I will choose to treat him Stay and teach him how to be a man. "
"You're very good, Clarice, but I think you still want them to stay, so you don't have to keep a lot of girls every year and then work hard to train them. But unfortunately, violets Ca n’t afford big names, right?

Clarice's voice was a little dimmed: "Our business is not very good, and our reputation is only spreading among our peers."
"So, Clarice, you are very good as a song and dance instructor, but unfortunately, as a head, you are not competent. The cradle of the showgirl just determines your ability in song and dance talent, but it is also the same Yes, it denies your business talent from another aspect. You are a real artist, but not a real businessman. You may be the best at teaching girls the ability, but when it comes to running a dance company, You are the worst. You are not suitable to be a leader of a song and dance troupe. You are more suitable to go to a big city as a dance and singing instructor in a theater or a dance ensemble. It will definitely make your life more than Much easier now. "
Clarice, who was still arrogant just now, was completely defeated by Xiu Yi. She shook her head: "You are right, I am not a qualified leader, I am not good at business, and I do not know how to keep those Outstanding girls. Daisy is a very promising girl. I have cultivated her as the best showgirl, but I cannot make her a household star. Without stars, our business would not be good. "
"That requires packaging."
"Packaging?" Clarice looked at Xiu in surprise.
"Yes, in fact, I think Violet is not just a lack of weight stars, you also lack a lot of things. You lack sufficient funds to allow you to enter a wider stage to perform, you lack a set of effective System to manage your people, you still lack a good marketing skills to help you make Violet's fame, in addition to lacking a good script such as Tiranya has been staged for many years, people have already been to it Lost freshness. For Violet to develop, it must have its own unique content. "
"Oh, to put it lightly, do you know how much a good screenwriter costs? Also, what you call an effective management system is suitable for a large song and dance troupe. In the small song and dance troupe, people and people The emotional bond between them is sometimes more effective than the frosty clause! "Clarice was not ignorant of these issues.
"But it is not binding." Xiu answered with a smile, and Clarice was speechless.
She thought for a while and said, "So I want to hear what you think Violet should do."
So Xiu said: "Clarice, if you want to be an excellent song and dance ensemble, performing in the village is meaningless. The influence of the city is unparalleled in the countryside in any era, only there You can get better development by making a name for yourself. So I don't think you should always run around like you do now. Look at your audience, the poor number can be counted with a single slap. "
"But there is never a place where people go to watch a cabaret show in a row. The number of people who can accept opera is actually limited. So we have to change places often."
"But it also made your reputation disappear. No one knows what kind of song and dance ensemble you are. People are more willing to determine the grade of this song and dance ensemble from your performances and lineups, and then make a choice. Of course, I do not recommend letting The song and dance troupe has only developed in one city since then, but I think you should shorten your itinerary. You should first find a map and then make some minimum marks on the map to indicate which cities were the most valuable past. , The most meaningful meaning of staying, divide them into categories, give up places that are not valuable, specialize in valuable cities, then divide them, and finally formulate an efficient route table. This can make you in the shortest time Go to the most performing city with the most performance instead of walking along the simplest straight line like now, and then waste most of your time on the countryside and roads. You should come to the fixed city at a fixed time To maximize the number of performances and effects at the same time. In this way, people will know that Time periods, they are looking violet ensembles will come. And you will also get a show every harvest. "
Clarice stared at Xiu dullly, and she opened her mouth in surprise, as if the fresh mushrooms she had eaten in front of her all ran back at this moment.
She finally called, "Oh my god, why didn't I think of such a simple way?"
Xiu Yi laughed: "In addition, in order to further quickly own your own fame in the city and maintain your own name for a long time, you should lease some really influential large venues."
"But those places are expensive."
Clarice finally found the unrealistic suggestion proposed by Xiu Yi.
Unexpectedly Xiu Yi shook his head: "I don't think so, Chief Clarice, many troubles do not necessarily need to be solved with money."
"Do you want the theater to use the venue for us?"
"Of course not, but you can ask someone to pay you?"
"Who?"
"Other song and dance troupes."
"Oh, this is impossible."
"No, they will agree. As long as you agree with the girls who train them for them, they will agree."
"You said I went to someone else's song and dance troupe to train their girls? Oh my god, this is incredible. I wouldn't agree with this stupid idea, they took away my hard work from me at a high price. Good girl, now I still have to come to help them? This is impossible! "
This sentence completely exposed Clarice's hatred of other song and dance troupes from herself. Obviously, her title to the showgirl's cradle was not as generous as she had previously expressed.
Xiu laughed, "No, it's entirely possible. I think you should do it. It's also good for you."
"I can't figure out what's good for me."
"First of all, the fame of violets is far less than your personal fame, and your fame is mainly reflected in the cultivation of showgirls. This is your advantage and you need to bring it out. Secondly, if you go Other song and dance troupes help them develop showgirls, which means that other song and dance troupes no longer need to dig out your favorite girl from you. The girls they bought at high prices are actually your efforts, but it is good for you I didn't get a point. And if you take the initiative to help them, for other song and dance troupes, they are equivalent to getting a batch of outstanding showgirls instead of one or two for the same price. Obviously, no matter to you, It ’s still a good deal for other song and dance troupes. In addition, your open-minded performance will make other song and dance troupes feel good about you. I heard that this industry is not so good, and sometimes competition and even It ’s very cruel, and this approach can make you make more friends and less enemies to the greatest extent, and it will make your future path better. "
This remark by Xiu completely touched Clarice. Other song and dance troupes will no longer dig people for themselves. Of course, this is a very obvious benefit. Getting a fee for training the singer is another obvious benefit, but it is equally important to reach a good friendship with other song and dance ensembles. Incomparable. In any industry, there are always those who get help and those who do n’t.
Just emotionally, Clarice didn't really like the other song and dance troupes, so she didn't want to do it. She murmured, "Maybe I should keep a few hands in secret."
"No, you can't do that. Leader Claris, know that helping other song and dance troupes to cultivate showgirls will not only get the benefits mentioned above, but also help your own song and dance troupe make a name. Think about it, don't All the song and dance ensembles have accepted your guidance and become an outstanding showgirl, how high will Violet itself become? People will know that the head of Violet is the song and dance ensemble of the Reims Empire. She is the most outstanding teacher. The showgirls of other song and dance ensembles can only be so good after having been with you for a period of time, then how good are the showgirls who have been with you for a long time? By then ... "
Clarice stared at Xiu with a stunned look, of course she knew what it meant.
This means she no longer has to worry about money.
Xiu Yi is still talking to Clarice about how the song and dance troupe should be built and developed, and what rules and regulations should be established under the current circumstances. The showgirls can't come and go as freely as they can, and they should sign an agreement even if they are not treated as servants.
The agreement can specify the time, and for how long, the showgirls must serve the song and dance troupe according to the agreement. If you want to terminate the agreement, you have to pay a compensation, etc ...
Clarice couldn't believe her ears. What she heard at the moment was something she had never heard of before. Fengming Mainland is not without such a contract, but it is clear that the degree of detail in the contract is far less than Xiu Yi said at the moment.
It was as if Clarice had discovered a new continent, and it was completely hard to imagine how a young man under the age of sixteen had so many things in his mind.
If the previous meal had only made her feel good about the boy's craftsmanship, then she now realized that the boy's brain was his most valuable place.
When it comes to the end, Clarice has been completely stuffed with a lot of Xiuyi's business ideas and methods, so that she feels so happy that she is going to pass out.
She is not a fool, and she fully understands what changes the Violet Song and Dance Troupe would bring if she did as Xiu said.
"Then, in the end, there is one question left." Xiuyi said to Clarice, "That's the script. The Violet Song and Dance Troupe needs a new script, with beautiful dialogue, touching stories, moving music, And I have to introduce new ones. Alas, I have learned to write some scripts, but I ca n’t compose music, but I can probably hum it to you, and you should be able to solve the rest yourself. "
When Xiu said this, he noticed that Clarice's expression was a little stiff. He asked in confusion: "What happened to you?"
Clarice suddenly hugged Xiu and shouted, "You are great, Fink, I have decided, I want to forgive your debt! Just forgive ... a Wit."
Xiu Yi is speechless.
Obviously, there is no intellectual property right in Fengming Mainland, but this has nothing to do with Clarice's reason for scolding Xiuyi.
In fact, Clarice realized the value of Xiuyi for the first time, and although it was not all the value, she had already excited her enough.
It is for this reason that Clarice will only forgive one of Kingwitt's debts and really give him free. Who knows if he will run away immediately? Clarice has decided that after ten months, as long as the song and dance troupe really develops and grows, she will certainly give Xiu Yi a generous sum of money as a thank you, but now, it must be kept secret.
She was still waiting to see the script Xiu wrote for her.
Although she did not believe that Xiu Yi could write a script, considering the outstanding performance of Xiu Yi before, she felt that it would be okay to let him try it once.
That night, Clarice shouted in excitement with the "Turandot" script that Xiu wrote to her: "We're going to get rich! We're going to Xiangye City, using the Lanya Grand Theater, and becoming a whole Empire's best song and dance troupe! I want everyone to fall down under my Clarice skirt! "
Daisy shook her head with regret and said to her partner, "She's dreaming again."
"It's almost hopeless." Randy also had a headache.
The performance is over, and the people from the song and dance troupe are going to rest.
Xiu Yi did not have the slightest sleepiness.
He stood by the bonfire, listening to the crackling of dry wood, watching the bright sparks of Mars, and enjoying the joy of freedom.
The elements of the wind gathered around him, and the dead leaves on the ground rolled up. Those leaves danced around him, as if the wind was dancing happily.
If anyone who is proficient in magic sees this scene at this moment, he will certainly exclaim Xiuyi's rapid progress, because in understanding of the elements of the wind, he has reached the point where he can grasp the breath of the wind and can let the wind The element feels his mood and changes accordingly as his mood changes.
This mastery of the breath of wind is an understanding of the realm.
Magic is not the same as martial arts. As a magician, you must not only have powerful magic power, vast knowledge, extraordinary talents, but also have sufficient understanding of the existence of magic elements. This is the state. Even if you can't reach the corresponding level, even if you have a powerful magic power, it is difficult to perform high-level magic. Even if it is used barely, the effect will be reduced, and the effort will be even greater.
The breath of wind is the higher realm of wind magic. If the range of elemental resonance represents the attack distance of magic, and the ability of elemental shock represents power, then the elemental breath represents the speed and magic consumption when using spells.
Unlike magic, magic needs to be accumulated over time. Like combat, it is the basis for magicians to use magic. Elemental resonance and elemental concussion are talents, and the breath of wind depends entirely on the ability of people to understand magic.
Clos discovered at the beginning that Hugh Iglell had an extraordinary ability to understand magic, and this understanding ability is most easily reflected in the mastery of the realm. The realm is the only thing that can be possessed beyond level.
Although based on Xiu Yi's magical foundation, he is still only a junior mage, but his use and understanding of the elements of the wind, even if there are many senior mages, cannot be better than Xiu Yi.
Perhaps he also felt that his understanding of the elements of the wind had further deepened, and Xiu Yi released the wind system to investigate the magic wind warbler.
The elements of the wind began to condense in an instant, forming a faint image.
Xiu Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that when he released this spell, his mana consumption was significantly reduced, and the time for magic formation was greatly accelerated.
With a slight movement in his heart, his hand waved towards the carriage, and the wind warbler flew towards the carriage where the girls were.
The wind warrior sent a conversation from the girls:
"That Fink, I guess he must have served a certain nobleman."
"why?"
"Only in the home of the aristocracy has the opportunity to learn such a good craft."
"You're right, I guess he must be the descendant of a noble, and then sneak out. Only the noble will study how to turn poisonous things into delicious food."
"Oh, this one can only ask himself."
"Anyway, he's a smart, cute, beautiful, and very capable boy. Didn't you notice that? He is very polite, and his demeanor is much greater than many adults. The chief extorted him, he But he wasn't angry at all, he still worked hard, even helped the head of the team to write the script. "
"Yes, he is indeed a good boy."
"The point is that he is indeed a handsome guy."
"He is so capable, maybe we should keep him for a few more days."
"I don't think he's willing. Clarice is so stingy, I guess he will never want to stay. I mean, if he gets to the city of Xiangye, he can really sell his potion for money."
"Maybe we can make him owe us a little more money."
"How to do it?"
"How about seducing him? Then take the opportunity to blackmail him, threaten him, and force him to stay."
"Wow, this is a good idea."
"So who is going?"
"I go……"
"I go……"
"Oh, aren't we too enthusiastic, this is no lady ..."
Xiu Yi's face twitched slightly, his right hand flickered slightly, and the Fengying dissipated.
"They are cute, aren't they?" Xiuyi asked the little dragon.
The little man answered him with disdainful eyes.
Xiuyi reluctantly said: "Well, I admit that they are a little too much this time, but I believe they are just talking. They have no bad eyes, Xu, sometimes you have to learn to be considerate of others. Everyone has shortcomings, They also make mistakes. For example, Clarice is a bit greedy for money, and the girls are a bit lascivious and ... love to be clever, but these are not big problems. If possible, we must try to learn to be tolerant. Of course, for some mistakes, we want Resolutely stop it. "
The little dragon whimpered and went into Xiuyi's arms. It seems that it is not willing to discuss this issue with Xiu Yi.
Two crisp tweets sounded in the sky, which were red and green, after hearing Xiu Yi's whisper, making a negative call on the treetop branches.
"Oh, it seems you have other ideas?" Xiu Yi smiled at red and green.
Red and green glanced at each other, then flew into the sky at the same time.
They hovered over Xiu's head, and the long, flaming tail made several large words in the air.
Avril.
Xiu Yi's smile was frozen.
Blurred colors in his eyes, he said lightly:
"No, that's completely impossible. I can't have any intersection with her anymore."
Ignoring the red and green flying unconvinced in the sky, he closed his eyes, and the elements of the wind gathered in the next moment, quietly surrounding him.
Rather than let the vain feeling in my heart to entangle yourself, it is better to hurry to cultivate.
After the soul mage has formally advanced, there is not much to learn. In fact, the soul spell has always been poor. What interest Xiuyi is that the junior soul mage has four very special types of magical spirit cohesion and spiritual exploration, firmness and weakened will.
Spiritual cohesion makes people's spirit more focused. Spiritual exploration can explore the surroundings, but it is only effective for living beings. The advantage is that it is not as easy to find as the wind warbler.
Firmness is the best weapon against soul spells, and weakening is the opposite.
These four spells didn't seem to have much effect, but Xiuyi didn't think so.
In his opinion, spiritual cohesion is a good spell. The high concentration of mental power can be used to improve the effect of cultivation. Cooperating with the elements of the wind system can make magical cultivation more effective. In addition, spiritual cohesion can also play an important role in fighting the enemy and strengthen the body and mind. Of course, this kind of firmness may not be meaningful to the magician, but it is different to the samurai. The biggest difference between Xiuyi and others is that he is not only a magician, but also a samurai.
These four spells may not be the case for others, but for Xiuyi, it is equivalent to a baby tailored for him.
At least for now, spiritual cohesion has played a part. Xiu Yi released a spiritual cohesion on himself, and devoted himself to studying the state of magic, leaving the girl who he had longed for him without being affected by it.
Red and green flew angrily in the sky, full of indignation at Xiuyi's "cheating" behavior.
Compared to the poor spells that the soul mage can learn, the wind mage has more primary wind spells, and the range of options is much larger and more troublesome.
In terms of support, the advancement of wind spirit is of course wind sailing, but it also has a side branch advanced—the vision of wind, the smell of wind, and the touch of wind, and then it is the strengthening of wind, a spell that strengthens itself. Advanced line.
In terms of defensive spells, in addition to the air shield, in addition to the wind vortex, you can also learn the ethereal shield. This is a physical shield of the wind element, which can already be displayed on the appearance. Compared with the air shield, which can only reduce the damage, the wind shield can effectively absorb the damage, and the defense effect is stronger.
As for the wind vortex, it is actually a trap spell that contains attack and defense. It has a good lethality. Unfortunately, it cannot move and cannot actively attack the enemy. The best choices he can learn in active attack spells are wind split and air resection.
The two types of attack spells, Wind Rupture and Air Removal, are not very different, but they represent different directions. Windbreak is a face attack spell that attacks the enemy by making dozens of small wind blades. Aircut is a single attack spell, but the victory is far stronger than the windbreak.
They represent two methods of range attack and single attack.
At the beginning on Purgatory Island, Xiuyi did not hesitate to choose the main cultivation of the wind fissure.
After all, wind-based spells are spells based on range attacks. And the enemies he will face in the future will also be a large number of empire fighters. As for those characters who are so strong that they are like Lancelot, they don't have to think about hitting them in a short period of time. Even if they cut the air to the best, it is a question of whether they can break their body and fight.
Besides, the empty cut can also be replaced by Xiu Yi's samurai stabbing. Although he is difficult to break through due to lack of practice on the samurai level, Xiu Yi's stabbing ability is still greatly enhanced.
Wind fissure and air resection will further diverge in the later period. For example, after the wind split, there are two choices of wind attack and wind attack, which represent the primary and secondary directions of attack range and attack intensity.
After hundreds of years of development of wind spells, a huge tree-like system magic has been formed, as are the similar spells of water, fire, and soil.
The low-level spell modification directly affects the use of higher-level spells. It is like Xiuyi's spell effect will be greatly reduced if he directly learns and uses Fengxiang without learning Wind Spirit. Basic development determines the superstructure, even in magic practice.
So many times the magicians just need to choose the major direction, it is enough to study for three or five days. After all, once you choose, you will regret it.
Fortunately for Xiuyi, these are not in a hurry for the time being.
Today's Xiuyi may be too low in level. Each kind of data looks poor, but he has multiple abilities at the same time. After using them in combination, Xiuyi believes that It is also impossible for a third or fourth level magician to be his opponent.
After determining the direction in which he should work hard, Xiuyi finally stopped practicing and was ready to sleep.
That night, Xiuyi spent the first free and relaxing night since he came to this world.
He slept soundly and heavily, never sleeping so restlessly before.
The only flaw is that when he fell asleep, he couldn't help him to continue to strengthen his will. He dreamed of Avril ...
