Beethoven Reborn Episode 324
70. Listening to the history of deportation(3)
“LOL. These days, the village people are happy thanks to you..”
“Thanks to you, I survived too..”
Two more days later, the visiting village chief's voice was very bright..
My music seemed to be received as very mysterious and fresh by these people, and the same was true for me..
In particular, a guy named Scala gave me so much inspiration that I thought about learning to play the harp at least once..
But I can't just sit back and relax..
“Okay, what's going on?.”
“People will probably come here soon..”
The village chief took a long breath..
“I don't know, but there are probably more than one person trying to find me. Maybe they're searching at the national level..”
I couldn't see, but just by the atmosphere, it seemed like he didn't believe me..
“Please take me to the city. I don't know why this village is in hiding, but if that's what you want, I don't want to ruin it..”
“I'm serious..”
I didn't answer.
“……Can you promise not to tell me about us??”
I feel sorry for my father.
But if they want that, is it desirable to forcibly reveal it?.
“Okay.”
“I believe in your soul.”
I heard the sound of clothes being scraped so I hurriedly opened my mouth..
“one more.”
“Something.”
“I want to know about you guys. How was he able to have such power, and why did he leave Europe and settle here? I want to fix my eyes if possible.”
After a short interval, the village chief sat down again..
“haha. It makes me laugh when you're this shameless..”
There is no hostility in his voice..
“But it doesn't seem like he's thinking anything else. It's better if you ask honestly..”
“then.”
“But the fact that I can't tell you doesn't change. You already know us too well.”
Karl, the leader of the Temes tribe, gathered the villagers together and began to discuss how to deal with a man named Bae Do-bin..
Someone came forward to refute the idea of sending it back..
“That's not possible. He already knows us too well. If you send it back, there will definitely be problems..”
“We must not forget the proverbs of our ancestors. People outside will definitely try to take advantage of us..”
“Although he is an outsider, he knows our language and is a truly outstanding musician. It's right to get them married and settle down here..”
“But he said people from outside come here looking for him..”
“It's natural to lie about things like that. Does it make sense for a country to move just to find one person?.”
“Are you saying that even after hearing him play the violin? His soul is noble and pure.”
“If what he says is true?”
“Even if you let him go, the result will be the same.”
While many stories were being exchanged, only Scala remained silent..
Chief Karl asked Scala:.
“Scala, what do you think?.”
“scalar.”
“yes?”
"I asked what should I do with him?.”
“……I don't know.”
After answering that question, Scala thought of Bae Do-bin again..
For Scala, the best performer in town, Bae Do-bin was a very heart-warming presence..
Beautiful melodies constantly unfolded at his fingertips, and his mouth continued to tell exciting stories about various instruments, orchestras, stages, CDs, and digital streaming..
I also wanted to hear the performances of the various musicians he spoke about in person..
Especially the orchestra.
What does it feel like to have over a hundred musicians playing one song, each using different instruments?.
I really wanted to know about Scala.
If it weren't for the village's rules, he would have overthrown Bae Do-bin and gone down the mountain..
Even as Scala was thinking this, the story gradually became more and more inclined to the opinion that Bae Do-bin should not be sent..
“That's all for today.”
At the words of Chief Karl, the villagers returned to their homes..
“Scala, you stay and help me..”
“ yes.”
Carl led his grandson Skala into his room..
The two people who entered the room sat across from each other with a bonfire in the middle. Since Karl didn't say anything, Scala looked puzzled and asked.
“What should I do??”
“He's been going around looking at boats these days..”
“……Well, I don't know what to do, so I'm just keeping watch..”
“Really??”
“sure.”
“Jan said you looked happy..”
Scala blamed Jan for talking nonsense in his mind..
“Do you want to go outside?.”
Scala was startled by his grandfather’s words and raised his head. She shook her head vigorously and denied it, but in Carl's eyes she seemed to be saying she wanted to go out..
“Don't hide it. Aren’t we each other’s only family?.”
“What did he say?.”
Karl spoke first, looking at his hesitant grandson..
“He said he was the conductor of a musical band. I said it was the Berlin Philharmonic..”
“I can't believe it. More than 200 musicians gathered together to perform. They say that when they play, millions of people listen. You're a liar.”
Scala's speech gradually became faster..
“They said harp strings are made of metal. I lied that I could manipulate semitones by installing a device, and that I could save the sound and listen to it again at any time. It's definitely a lie..”
Contrary to his words.
eyes were shining.
Karl didn't take his eyes off Scala's eyes..
“Later, they built a large ship and took people around the world to perform. There's no way there's a ship that can accommodate thousands of people..”
“I want to go.”
“When I die, you must lead this village..”
“……i know.”
“But at the same time, I have a mission to fulfill the will of the god Temes..”
Karl looked at Scala, who had grown up, and thought about the past..
Scala, who had been sleeping with a harp by his side since he started walking, became the best musician in town..
Everyone looked to Temes as the one who would comfort them..
However, Scala could not develop further and was struggling with it..
My grandson is suffering because he is pressured by the expectations of the village people and cannot move forward on his own..
Grandfather just felt sorry for me..
“Your face is so bright.”
however.
After Bae Do-bin came to town, Scala’s face brightened..
The grandfather felt that this was not the place where his grandson should be, as he was surprised and happy to hear new music every day..
“grandfather.”
“Scala, go out with him and learn about the bigger world. So, if you perform to the god Temes' satisfaction, your role has been fulfilled..”
“grandfather!”
“He can be trusted. When you listen to his violin you can see how pure he is.”
“no, I do not want.”
“Don't even think about coming back until you see Temes..”
After encountering Karl's firm words and straight gaze, Scala was speechless for a moment..
I hugged my grandfather with tears in my eyes..
While I was sleeping, someone tapped me. I woke up annoyed and Scala put his mouth to my ear..
“What are you doing!”
“Shh!”
“Don't do it because it's creepy!”
“be quiet!”
I stayed still to see what was going on, and then he lifted my arm. I was startled and pulled out his hand, but right before I lost my temper after hitting him on the back, he said something nice..
“He asked me to take him to the city. Stay still.”
If that's the case, you should tell me in advance..
I obediently wore the clothes he gave me. It is a thick clothing that feels like rough fur..
“Follow.”
He grabbed my wrist and started walking slowly..
I almost tripped over a rock in the middle, so I held on to Scala and he screamed..
“He told me to be quiet.”
“I'm not surprised?”
So for a while.
After walking for about 30 minutes, I felt like I could hear the sound of my steps and the wind stopped. I felt like I was entering a cave or some kind of building, but I heard the voice of Chief Karl..
“Welcome.”
“……yes.”
“Scala, weren't you caught when you came?.”
Since he made such a mess, neither I nor he could say that he came quietly..
Karl sighed and opened his mouth again..
“You must have heard the story from Scala. There is a condition.”
“ As much as you want.”
“keep secrets about us.”
nodded.
“Take Scala.”
I was so surprised that I pulled my head back and Karl added,.
“I ask you to believe in your soul. Please help Scala make music available to the wider world..”
The sea I wanted from this side.
I'll put you in the Berlin Philharmonic and then get you a job in a marine orchestra traveling around the world..
We plan to provide compensation commensurate with his level and education in the field of his choice..
“sure.”
“……Grandpa, I can’t do that either. It's too easy to answer.”
“no. his voice did not waver.”
It's a common phrase among older people, but age isn't something that just accumulates..
“If you do that, I will tell you what you want..”
Things are going better than I expected, so the frustration I've been feeling is going away a bit..
“I don't have any problem.”
“……This is going to be a long story, so please sit down..”
I hesitated and looked around, and Scala led me to a chair..
In the midst of a sudden meeting and a mysterious situation, Karl's heavy mouth finally fell..
“Temes is the god of sound, and our ancestors worshiped him. He thrived in Britain. However, we soon lost our home due to the invasion of the Roman Empire, and our wandering ancestors soon settled down in the territory of the Habsburg Dynasty. They say it was Vienna, and they say all the musicians of the time were nearby..”
It's just like I heard from my father..
“Due to a long period of nomadic life, its size was reduced, but thanks to the help of the Habsburg royal family, it did not have to be taken to the battlefield..”
“what is that.”
“Because of the power of healing.”
……I think I understand.
There was no way these damn bastards would leave their power alone, taking away the lives of thousands, tens of thousands, millions of people in the safest places..
“But that didn't last long either. A great war broke out in Europe, and Austria searched for Temes and forcibly conscripted them. Most of them died, and the remaining group managed to leave Europe and settle down here where no one can find them. What we're worried about is history repeating itself.”
It's not the same experience as these.
I was able to understand a little bit the resentment of the Temes people..
The moment I was most angry after being reborn was that a crazy beast named Adolf Hitler had used my songs for regime propaganda..
I could never forgive the bullshit that was committed against Ludwig as a symbol of the greatness of the German people..
When I thought of the millions of people who were incited by those lies and died on the battlefield, I felt angry even in my sleep..
Music to comfort people.
I knew how terrible it was to be used to exploit and kill people, so I nodded at Carl's words..
“Now you understand the situation.?”
“yes.”
“……Then all that's left is the test..”
“test?”
“I trust you, but I believe you understand that I cannot let you go based on my intuition alone. So I will ask the god Temes for help..”
Carl spoke as if Temes really existed..
However, it was obvious that it was a religious ritual, so I decided to obediently listen and stood up, and Carl grabbed my shoulder and gave me direction..
“walk straight ahead.”
“Like that?”
“Just come back after work.”
I didn't know why they believed my sincerity, but I had to get out of here for me and them, so I started walking as I was told..
‘her.’
amazing.
It must be a cave, but the wind blowing in from somewhere creates a strange sound..
like music.
As I walked in, the melody became clearer, and the wonderful music that made me wonder if it was really someone's intention was pleasing to my ears..
‘ warm.’
Is there any other sound this cozy?.
As I quietly listened to the song of nature, the previously quiet guy started to go crazy..
I was surprised because it had been so long since I had seen him..
'God's Joke', which had been quiet until now, started showing various sentences instead of listening to what was said..
‘What on earth?.’
I was embarrassed and shook my head to put them away..
For a moment the sound of the wind stopped.
After the noisy ‘God’s Play’ disappeared,.
smart—
There was the sound of water drops falling..
‘What was that just now?.’
As I was thinking about going back because it was unusual, the wind started blowing again and it matched the sound of falling water drops..
As you say that.
My heart was drawn to it and I didn't want to miss that sound..
perfect music.
It's absolutely great music..
at that time.
A ‘sentence’ appeared before my eyes again..
[Recover lost vision.]
[I encourage you to get back to where you need to be quickly..]
[I am waiting.]
