The concert proceeded very smoothly. Master Voltaava's level was indeed extremely high and received unanimous praise from everyone.
And as the master's last disciple, Moen naturally also went on stage to perform.
The music was like dewdrops in a summer morning, filled with spirit, bringing a comfort as refreshing as a cool breeze brushing one's face on a summer night.
The entire piece was simple and lively, fresh and natural, nimble and cheerful, giving people a naturally soothing feeling as they listened.
When the piece ended, all the audience in the entire music hall seemed to have lost their worries, as if they had gone through a warm and joyful journey. Smiles blossomed on every face.
"This disciple of mine has far more talent than I do."
Master Voltaava's evaluation of Moen was extremely high. He had no airs at all and directly stated that he was far inferior to Moen in talent, whether in playing and singing or in composition.
Moen naturally expressed modesty again and again. In terms of playing and singing, he had cheated, directly overwhelming the Lyra Celestial Spirit. As for composition, he had activated an epic-level cheat, directly standing on the shoulders of a brilliant and glorious human civilization.
And they were already amazed. Moen felt it was a bit early. This was only the beginning; there were still many things he had not taken out yet.
After this concert ended, Moen's reputation would become even greater, mainly because the scope of his fame was too broad.
Those who liked powerful wizards, those who liked handsome men, those who liked reading and deduction, those who liked pop music, those who liked classical music.
This coverage if not all-encompassing at least covered a large portion, which was why his fame could be so great.
Various media outlets reported one after another, letting more people know about this concert and making the Magnolia music hall widely known. More and more people learned that Magnolia had a grand music hall, and that Moen would occasionally go on stage to perform.
Compared with Moen, Master Voltaava's fame was somewhat insufficient. The traffic brought by the two was completely not on the same level.
"It seems that in the future our music hall's tickets will be hard to obtain."
Jude Heartfilia was naturally very happy with this result.
After all, the newspapers all printed the full name of the music hall, all printing "Heartfilia Harp Music Hall." It was simply free advertising for their Heartfilia Consortium. He had not expected such a benefit at the beginning.
This time, the money he spent was truly worth it. Just the effect of this advertisement alone was already worth the cost of building the music hall. Moen's traffic was not something one could casually ride, let alone so openly.
"However, if they are all buying tickets because of Moen, will they be disappointed when they see an old man like me?"
Voltaava said with a smile. Although he said so, his expression was very confident, as if he was not worried about it at all.
Thinking about it, with Voltaava's performance skills, even people who were not interested in him or in harp performance, once they came and sat down, would be firmly captivated by him. A true master could make even those who did not understand sit down and appreciate seriously.
"I believe more people will be influenced by Master's music. Perhaps among them there will be a future harp master."
Moen said with a smile. None of them were worried about this issue. Even if they did not see him, no one would feel that the trip was wasted.
"Let's hope so."
Voltaava smiled and shook his head. Being able to let more people like harp music, being able to let more people be willing to come listen to his music without leaving their homes, he was already very satisfied.
After chatting a few more sentences, the hard-working Voltaava left the music hall to go back and rest, leaving Moen and Jude behind.
"Mr. Jude, tell me about the Heartfilia Consortium's plan. I will cooperate with your actions. The Master has already handed this matter over to me to take full responsibility. I believe I can still put you at ease, right?"
Moen did not beat around the bush and directly brought up the main matter.
"That is only natural. Of course I trust Brother Moen. In the entire Fairy Tail guild, Brother Moen is the one I trust the most."
Jude immediately replied. With Moen's fame being so great, how could he not trust him? With Moen coming forward, he could completely represent Fairy Tail. He had no doubt about that at all.
After seeing Moen, would anyone still doubt Fairy Tail's determination to support them? That would be a bit too disrespectful.
"That's going too far. I don't have that much face. It mainly relies on the old man's prestige. Let's borrow the tiger's might and scare those who want to cause trouble."
Moen smiled and did not care about Jude's flattery. Although his fame was great, he might not necessarily be able to frighten those southern noble interest groups. Those people still recognized the old man's prestige more.
"I believe they will know what's good for them."
Jude said, though in his heart he did not really think those people would know what was good for them.
Even with Fairy Tail stepping forward, it would be impossible for things to go smoothly. Those great nobles in the south were deeply entangled, far more complicated than the situation in the north. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to break into the southern market all this time.
"This kind of matter that benefits the country and the people, if anyone dares to block it for personal gain, then they will truly have to ask whether Fairy Tail's blades are sharp. Those southern great nobles had better know their place."
Moen narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious. The Kingdom of Fiore was, after all, a feudal state similar to the Middle Ages. It was perfectly normal to have great nobles like local tyrants.
To put it more bluntly, some places were originally the private territories of those nobles. They pledged loyalty to the Kingdom of Fiore, but that did not mean they would completely obey the Kingdom's orders.
Therefore, even though the Kingdom of Fiore's national policy strongly supported railway development, the southern market had remained difficult to open.
"Good! Brother Moen is indeed straightforward!"
Moen's words greatly excited Jude. This was exactly the kind of attitude needed to accomplish things!
If Fairy Tail was unwilling to exert much effort and merely said a few casual words, then this cooperation would be very difficult to carry out, because those southern great nobles might not pay attention to a few nagging remarks from Fairy Tail at all.
Without truly taking out the blades as deterrence, those people would not yield!
"Do you have a target? Where do we start first?"
Moen looked at Jude. After preparing for so long, the Heartfilia Consortium should have already arranged everything, right?
"We have a target. I have arranged to meet with the great nobles of the south. Among them are several who are clearly opposed to us."
Jude nodded seriously. During this period, he had contacted many southern nobles and finally connected and organized this meeting. When the time came, Moen would make an appearance and give them a show of strength!
