Chapter 398 Bagpipes and Lyre



"Wow, is this a swimsuit?"

After they picked out clothes for everyday wear and formal occasions, Lily finally noticed a few swimsuits placed in the corner.

"Are there only so few?" several people asked as they looked at them.

The clerk came over and explained, "These are just samples. Not many people buy swimsuits, and they're quite private, so they're not suitable for people to try on casually. That's why we don't have many of them here."

"Whatever style you like, I'll go to the closet in the back and get some for you to choose from. But once you've chosen these clothes, you can only buy them outright. No returns will be accepted."

"But if the size is a problem, I can adjust it for a few people."

She talked about the store's rules and then walked to the back room.

"That makes sense. I don't want to wear something that someone else has worn." Lettice raised her arm and put her fingers on her chin.

Afterwards, the clerk took out the items one by one according to the requests of the young ladies and let them choose.

(The specific plot will be written into a short extra chapter tomorrow and posted in the subscription group 00)

After choosing their swimsuits, they tried them on in the fitting room, asked the clerk to adjust the size, and then left satisfied.

"Haha, I didn't expect Roland to be so shy. It's really unexpected." Alena said jokingly, while Roland Hill leaned behind Katie and walked at the back of the team.

Oh, it turns out that I’m still not used to the swimsuit. Loran Hill’s ears turned slightly red. He avoided the gaze of his companions and walked slowly.

After the group bought their clothes, it was almost noon. They first returned to their residence to put down their things, ate something, and then sat for a while.

"Where are we going this afternoon?"

"Ah~" Ye Ling yawned, indicating that she wanted to sleep in the house and didn't want to go anywhere. And Ke Ti seemed to be infected and felt a little sleepy as well.

"Let me stay too." Weimiya said.

The last group was divided into three groups. Vimiya, Ye Ling, and Keti rested in the hotel, and the rest went out shopping in the afternoon.

Among them, Letis, Nia and Bumansha are in one group, and Loranhill, Alena and Lily are in another group.

"One group will go east, and the other group will go west. We will meet at the pier by the sea before sunset."

After reaching an agreement, the two groups headed in different directions of the street.

A burst of music came from the street.

"This seems very interesting." Lily pointed at four people performing on the street. They were playing special instruments and wearing very distinctive clothes, attracting many passers-by.

The four men were wearing dark burgundy leather skirts. Three of them were shirtless, revealing blue tattoos on their arms and chests. One was wearing a black leather vest with a row of worn copper buttons.

All of them were sturdy, with visible healed scars. One of them was beating a leather drum, another was playing a blackwood instrument that looked like a trumpet. Another was playing a piccolo, and the last was carrying a strange instrument across his shoulders and chest.

The structure of this instrument is very rare. There is a black leather bag in the middle with three trumpet-like tubes inserted into the bag. The air inlet is also a tube inserted into the bag. These four tubes are facing different directions on the bag, one in front, one on the side, and one in the back. The performer blows into one of the tubes, and his fingers press on the tube of one of the trumpets like pressing a flute.

It is worth mentioning that the outer sides of these three trumpet-shaped tubes seem to be made from the hollowed-out horns of some animal, giving them a wild and rough style.

As the black wooden trumpet in the middle began to play, the others also began to play. The sound was distant and ancient, like the afterglow of the tribal era, or like reindeer wandering in the forest, smart and wild.

"It sounds nice. What instrument is this?" Lily asked.

"This looks like a bone-horn bagpipe," Alena guessed. She had traveled to many places with her father since she was a child, and she seemed to have seen it before.

"It should be a characteristic musical instrument of the mountainous area in the north of Wilga, where there is a group of people living in the forests and plains." After reminiscing for a while, Alena said slowly.

"Looks like they're promoting something." Loran Hill looked at the newly opened shop behind them. On the log sign, the name 'Black Forest Musical Instruments' was stitched together using wooden strips. The letters were painted with a dark green lacquer that was still a little damp.

"Let's go and take a look. I haven't seen this kind of instrument in a long time." Aliena suggested a little excitedly.

"Yeah." The girl nodded, and then the three of them walked into the store.

After entering the store, a wooden landscape appears in the field of vision, with wooden tables and chairs, benches, cabinets, musical instruments, shields, ornaments, etc., which are dazzling.

The style of this store is really obvious, Loran Hill sighed and turned to look.

The store wasn't crowded, mostly people coming in out of curiosity, not many actually buying. This was actually normal; while most people enjoy music, few can actually play it.

"Boss, boss, do you still have the bone-horn bagpipe outside the store?" Alena looked around and didn't find what she wanted, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Yes, yes, but that one is bigger and usually not displayed." The bearded boss walked out of the counter with a beer belly, then took out a wooden box from behind the side door, revealing a bagpipe wrapped in straw inside.

"This is interesting." Under the boss's surprised gaze, Alena picked up the large bagpipe with one hand, cleaned the mouthpiece, and tried to play it, but unfortunately the tune was out of tune.

"Haha, Alena, please stop bragging. It's so embarrassing." Lily covered her mouth and laughed.
