Bringing Culture to a Different World

fact that these dwarves possess robust physics, they would, sooner or later, have to go see their beloved mother earth by staying awake all this time.

“But, I don’t think a song that brings your audience asleep will be able to raise nourishment for your World Tree.”

Joshua pointed out the crucial problem.
Tylene had mentioned to Joshua the condition needed for the World Tree seed to grow in her body.
Those that had fallen asleep wouldn’t possibly be able to feel ‘admiration’ toward a song.

“What I was singing earlier was an epic passed down from my race for generations.
Apart from that song ‘Let It Go,’ I only know how to sing epics,” said Tylene helplessly.

To the citizens of this world, music was an extremely high form of art.
Ordinary people would only have the chance to listen to a song of two when they encounter a wandering minstrel or bard.
But, those people will be singing songs similar to the epic sung by the frost elf.

Their songs could be performed with a very simple musical composition and a very simple melody.
That sort of performance would be akin to a sing-tell.
No, it would be more accurate to say they’re folk storytelling accompanied with music.

The frost elf had used their elven language to sing an epic for the entire afternoon.
Humans and dwarves simply couldn’t understand what she was saying, couldn’t understand the story she was trying to tell.

The elven epics and a slowed down version of ‘Let It Go’ wouldn’t be able to leave deep impressions upon the crowd.

Joshua felt that there was a need for him to write some ‘stunning’ songs capable of evoking emotions in the audience.

“Go ahead and return to Madam Schroder’s mansion to rest for now.
I will go there tomorrow to discuss with Madam Schroder about the musical accompaniment for ‘Léon: The Demon.’ I’ll make sure to add a song that’s suitable for you to sing.”

The musical accompaniment for ‘Beauty and the Demon’ was provided by the Duke of Bones’ Phantom Ensemble.

Currently, Joshua does not possess a firm foothold in Norland.
If he was to open a teleportation gate to the Duke of Bones’ domain, it would be akin to bringing a nuclear warhead to another country’s city center.

Even if Joshua was to swear and tell people that they don’t have to worry, that the nuclear bomb will not explode, Norland’s grand mages would definitely drive Joshua out from Norland at all cost.

Because of that, Joshua was planning to leave the musical accompaniment to the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe.

“A song for me to sing?”

“It’ll be similar to the elven epic you sang earlier.
However, the rhythm will be more complicated.”

Joshua gave an unsuitable comparison.
When the frost elf was singing her epic, she sang with an operatic bel canto style.
Although for Tylene, she was only narrating a story with her elven language.

“I will do my utmost to sing it properly,” said Tylene.

A complete musical score was an extremely high-end commodity in this world.
It was understandable as musical operas were arts that only the people from upper society could enjoy.
Furthermore, in order to properly perform said musical operas, a specialized orchestra was needed.

“Sleep properly tonight.”

Joshua saw the frost elf out of his tavern.
Then, he went up to the second floor, took out paper and pen to begin writing the musical score to the soundtrack for ‘Léon: The Demon.’

Ciri was using music to transform ordinary plain paper to staff paper.[1]

After spending roughly an hour or so to complete the musical score, Joshua took out another piece of paper and wrote ‘Star Sky '[2] on the header.
