The night passed without incident.

  The next day, the baron and Howard two people early in the morning with the people of Chabrol went to the relevant departments for formalities.

  The Baron didn't have any special explanation before he left, he just urged Freya and Eric to pay attention to some safety.

  Although Daziel City is relatively safe compared to Byron's city, but this is also relative, there are dark forces in every place, only, some in the open and some hidden so that people can not see it.

  However, with Freya's current strength, she can escape even if she can't beat them in danger, so I think the Baron's special instructions were for Eric.

  After a simple breakfast, everyone dispersed, Frya originally intended to take Eric around, but he was apparently motivated by the Baron to work on his sword skills, and did not care much about anything else.

  So, Freya had to go by herself.

  At this time, it is the end of summer and early autumn season, a simple white hunting clothes, not carrying a weapon Frya walking in the manor next door on the street.

  Golden hair casually tied into a ponytail, looking at the surrounding scenery with a curious expression, at this time Frya is just like a real young girl visiting this strange city.

  Early morning sunlight with dazzling light, sprinkled on the earth, similar to the European style Daziel city in this peaceful atmosphere slowly awakening, although this is a residential area, but there are already a lot of pedestrians, wearing skirts of young girls, patrolling the soldiers, soldiers with swords or with a harp singing performers and vendors, all add vitality to the city.

  Walking on the streets, Freya looked at this peaceful atmosphere in the city, trance had a sense of unreality.

  After all, having seen too much blood and fire, suddenly arriving at such a place was always a bit uncomfortable.

  After walking through the residential area, the pedestrians slowly increased, and the stone road under her feet turned into a common dirt road, while the surrounding area began to be a bit noisy.

  On the side of the road, some shops also appeared in her vision.

  Bakeries, taverns, weapon shops, sundry shops, and so on, and she even saw an open teahouse.

  The shop looked chicly decorated from the outside, and below the signboard above was a small line that read ‘’For nobles only, commoners do not enter‘’, just as two noblewomen in gorgeous dresses walked out from inside.

  Freya just casually glanced at it and left, with no intention of going in.

  Wandering recklessly, Daziel City is worthy of being a city that has trade relations with the sea race, here Frya can always find some particularly strange and bizarre things, small red seahorses that can shoot out water arrows, human-faced fish with distorted human faces, sea shells that can emit loud noises, and strange crabs that have human-like feet.

  Most of the products traded here were seafood, but there were also small things that interested her.

  After travelling for so long she had bought some white light stones the size of marbles that could glow and a pair of hand guards that were said to be made of deep-sea crocodile shark skin, although she didn't know if they were made of crocodile shark skin or not, the quality of the hand guards was still very good just by looking at them.

  Walking aimlessly along a city river, the river was freshwater, not very wide, but very clear, some black freshwater fish vaguely appeared at the bottom of the river and quickly disappeared.

  From time to time a seagull or two cried from the sky, skimming where it was not seen.

  After a corner, Freya had unknowingly walked up to the massive building she had seen from afar last night.

  A huge black monolith loomed in front of it, and above it was a string of letters written in the common language.

  ‘Bellam Advanced Academy.’

  ‘It really is a school.’ Freya was certain in her mind.

  Most of the surrounding area was filled with young boys and girls wearing black robes, though there were also quite a few adults in ordinary clothes walking out of that academy.

  The gate of the academy appeared to be open all the time, and there weren't any guards guarding it, so it seemed that this school wasn't closed, and other outsiders could enter at will.

  After a little thought, Freya decided to go in and observe, to see what difference there was between the schools in this world and her previous life.

  Entering the academy, the first thing to see was the wide green grass, in the middle of which was a huge statue of an old man, and in the distance, a row of five or six-storey buildings faced the academy's gate.

  The ground was paved with green stone slabs, and occasionally Freya would see three or four students carrying bows and arrows and wooden long swords, laughing and chatting, and did not show any special look to Freya who was dressed differently.

  ‘It seems that schools in this world don't only teach cultural courses either.’ Watching the few students walk by, Freya's eyes flashed.

  In Byron, only the nobles are qualified to study in the academy, if the commoners want to gain knowledge in addition to self-study only join a party to learn, in Green Castle, the Baron had set up a place specifically as a teaching premises, and the students are the Baron from the territory to pick up the teenagers who have a good qualification, as the escort's new blood existence.

  And here, most of what Freya saw were ordinary people, which was also different from Byron.

  But to Freyja's eyes, these students with weapons walked with a vapid and uncertain walk, and they simply did not have any real talent.

  But come to think of it, it wasn't necessary to learn real practical combat experience in the city of Daziel, they were at best used to exercise and increase the existence of one of their skills.

  Walking around aimlessly, she soon reached the middle of the academy, a place similar to an auditorium.

  Compared to the rest of the academy, this place was much more crowded and seemed more lively.

  On both sides of the auditorium were two huge banners with the words ‘’Welcome City Lord's Inspection‘’ written on them.

  Inside the auditorium, apart from the school's students, there were also many people from outside.

  The ear-piercing sound of music mixed with people talking came from inside.

  Curious, Freya walked over and realised that it seemed to be some students rehearsing something with instruments she hadn't seen before.

  The sounds of various different instruments strung together had a kind of mixed unpleasantness, which made even Frya, who had a good tolerance, have the urge to cover her ears, while everyone else had a look of not being surprised.

  Regarding the music of this world, even though she was not proficient, she could see the roughness of these students' rehearsals.

  However, just as she wanted to leave, in a corner of the auditorium, a huge old black piano appeared in front of her unseen.

  This was the second time she had seen a piano, a common instrument on Earth, and the first time was at the final ball at Castle Grimm.

  Seeing this once familiar thing again made her heart feel a little emotional and she unconsciously walked over to it.

  The piano had no cover, and a fine layer of white grey had accumulated on it, so it seemed to have been sitting there for a long time.

  Stretching out her fingers, she gently pressed on one of the keys.

  ‘Ding’

  The modest ringing sound made Freya frown slightly.

  She then pressed two more times, and a judgement came to her mind.

  In her previous life, she had also played the piano at her part-time job for a while because of her life, and even though she wasn't very proficient, she could hear that the piano's tone wasn't very accurate.

  Perhaps seeing Freya playing the piano, a young man wearing a black robe came over with big strides, ‘This student, don't you know that this piano is broken?’

  Seeing the visitor, Freya immediately drew back her fingers.

  Closer to the person, he saw Freya's attire and wondered, ‘Aren't you a student of the academy? Why aren't you wearing a uniform?’

  Freya nodded honestly. ‘Well, I'm not from the Academy.’

  ‘Oh?’ The young man swept Freya up and down, then said with an apologetic smile, ‘Sorry, I thought you were a student of the academy.’

  ‘That's okay.’ Freya casually said. ‘I just saw that this piano tone wasn't very accurate, so I pressed it twice more.’

  ‘Inaccurate tone?’ The young man listened to Freya's words with some surprise ‘Could it be that you know how to repair a piano? Perhaps you are a musician?’

  Unconsciously the man actually used honorifics, which made Freya frown slightly, obviously misunderstood.

  ‘No, I'm not a musician, I've just played the piano before, so I'm not really sure I can fix it.’

  ‘It's okay, this piano has been broken for half a year, it's only been put aside here because no one can fix it, it would be best if it can be fixed, if not then maybe it will have to be sold after a while.’ That young man said with some regret.

  Looking at his expression, Freya didn't say anything and directly opened the lid on top, revealing what was inside.

  Frya swept a little, and found that the parts inside did not show any signs of being missing, it was just that some subtle things were loose, causing the tone to not be very accurate.

  Simply fiddling with it, she pressed the keys a few more times, and then adjusted it once again, finally getting it in the right position.

  Listening to the crisp ‘tinkling’ sound, she clapped her hands and said.

  ‘That should be about right, I'll give it a try.’ ‘Erm... okay, go ahead, go ahead.’ The man was completely unprepared for the fact that the piano that had been sitting on the shelf was actually repaired by the young girl in front of him by casually fiddling with it a few times, and judging by her skilful technique and the aura that came with it herself, she didn't look like an ordinary person at all.

  ‘Perhaps a family member of some great noble in disguise.’ He guessed in the back of his mind

  For Freya wanting to test it also immediately agreed.

  Not caring about the thoughts of the people next to her, after receiving an answer, she directly found a stool and sat down, placing her fingers on the keys of the piano.

  Gently exhaling, she slightly closed her eyes, and then the clear piano sound slowly rang out in the auditorium.

  In her previous life, she used to live alone for a long, long time, in order to pay for her own schooling and life has also done a lot of work, because the brain is still quite smart so working and studying at the same time is not very hard, and because of the ability to learn is not bad, and gradually also learned a lot of new things from some of the part-time work place.

  Playing and tuning pianos was one of them.

  In fact, apart from tuning, she didn't know a lot of piano music, and she had forgotten almost all of it until now, and the only one she was more familiar with was the piano song ‘Canon’, which she often used to play for herself because it sounded good.

  At this moment, when she played the music of the past again, something seemed to be slowly filling her body and mind with the sound of the piano.

  The soothing to high-pitched music gradually made the people around her stop making noise, and for a while the whole auditorium seemed to have become her stage alone.

  Everyone's heart also followed the ups and downs of the music and became peaceful.

  At the entrance of the auditorium, a group of strong guards in armour had appeared at some point, standing straight, and in the middle was a handsome man in white aristocratic attire, looking out of breath at Freya, who was immersed in her own music.

  His golden ponytail swayed gently with the swing of his body, and his exquisite face and beautiful music made even his hardened heart seem to melt.

  He had always thought that music and women were just boring things, and that the only thing that meant anything in his life was iron and blood.

  But now he felt the values he had been maintaining slowly crumbling.

  As the last syllable was slowly pressed and the smooth music grew still, Freya opened her narrowed eyes.

  While she was still reminiscing about what had passed, the eerie scene around her caused her heart to snap.

  ‘Snap.’

  Almost immediately when the music stopped, the quiet auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.

  For beautiful music was the same no matter what place or world, perhaps it was the contrast between Freya's piano piece and the previous student rehearsal that brought about such a drastic reaction.

  However, Freya had a bit of a headache about it, unknowingly playing beautiful music that was different from this world had made her attention span break the surface in a flash.

  And before that, the Baron had instructed last night not to draw too much attention to herself.

  Standing up from her chair with a slight frown, she didn't care about the gazes of the others.

  While everyone was still reminiscing about the music from before, she left the auditorium seemingly slowly but swiftly with her own stance.

  ‘Miss, you...’ a magnetic voice rang out.

  As he walked through the doorway, the handsome man in aristocratic attire, with a smile on his face, suddenly reached out his hand to try to block her steps, but in a trance, a faint gust of wind gave his arm a gentle push.

  Before the words were finished, the person had directly left the auditorium.

  ‘It's... knight level!’

  Holding his hand up somewhat awkwardly, that noble man frowned slightly, the smile on his face curdling somewhat.

  ‘Actually forgetful!’ Freya, who had already burst out the chi sense in her body while rushing along, frowned slightly.

  ‘It seems that one's heart still needs to be exercised!’

  The song ‘Canon’, even though it was nostalgic for his previous life, seemed to have attracted unwanted attention, and it was a good thing that he was only here for a mere three days.

  ‘I hope nothing goes wrong...’

  With this incident out of the way, the mood for shopping was gone, and Freya had no choice but to follow her memory in the direction of the manor towards the meeting.

  And in the large auditorium where she left, the crowd that originally continued to be quiet saw the performer leave in a hurry all revealing inexplicable whatsits.

  But when they saw the guards standing at the door and the handsome man, the slightly agitated hall was suddenly quiet once again.

  ‘Bellam Academy, welcome the arrival of Lord City Lord!’

  A middle-aged man wearing a red robe with a canary embroidered on his chest walked quickly to that handsome man's side and slightly bent down to salute.

  Under his leadership, the crowd also seemed to have all responded and saluted.

  ‘There's no need to be polite, Teacher Barkley.’

  That handsome man smiled as he helped up the middle-aged man who was bending down and gently said.

  ‘No matter how many years I leave this school, I'm always a student here.’

  ‘Hehe, my lord, you're joking, no matter what, you're the greatest city lord of Daziel City, if it wasn't for you, this school might have long been in the Sea Clan's...’

  Without continuing to listen to Barkley's compliments, that handsome man waved his hand and interrupted.

  ‘Enough of that, by the way, Teacher Barkley, is the girl who played the piano just now also from our school?’

  ‘Er...this ah, she's not a student of our school, it seems like she came in from outside the school for a visit, and I haven't seen her before.’ Seeing the handsome man's eyes, Barkley also guessed what was in his mind and shook his head in difficulty.

  ‘Oh, is that so? From somewhere else...’ he gave a thoughtful look.

  ‘However, my lord, although I don't know where that girl came from, but with the piano skills she just displayed, she's certainly not an obscure person, so if we follow this clue, we can definitely find it.’ Barclay thought for a moment.

  ‘I'm just asking, nothing more.’ Hearing Barkley's idea, he shook his head and smiled.

  ‘In that case,...’ just as Barkley was about to say something else, the sound of shouting came from the distance, seemingly calling Barkley over.

  Hearing that voice, the man interrupted Barkley who wanted to continue saying something and said.

  ‘Since you have something to do, teacher, I won't bother you.’

  ‘Huh? I...I'm sorry then.’ After revealing an unnatural smile, Barkley turned to leave.

  Paying no attention to Barclay, the man turned his head towards the piano seat where Freya originally sat with a faint glint in his eyes.

  And a guard standing next to him saw his expression and took a step forward and said.

  ‘My lord, should we tell Lord Pei Lie to check the background of that woman, with Lord Pei Lie's underground connections, he should...’

  Hearing the guard's suggestion, the bottom of the man's eyes, who was originally in between thoughts, steeply condensed, and his originally modest aura became somewhat different.

  ‘There's no need to go to him! If we let him go and check it out, something might go wrong, after all, the relationship with the Sea Nation right now, although it is apparently peaceful but in reality it is a bit uneventful, and even though I have some fondness for that woman, I don't have to do this deliberately, if there is a destiny, surely we'll see each other again.’

  ‘Yes!’ The cold tone of voice made that guard bow his head down.
