Chapter 202: A Song from the Other World (Part II)

A song from another world?

I reminisced at the strange melody humming in Leo's mouth and asked, "Is that what you just sang?" ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!" Leo cleared his throat and continued to sing, the more he sang, the more energetic he became, "Lying down, on the grass under the stars, the heart, everything is spread out for you to see, the sky full of stars staring at me with wide eyes - think, want, say, Ren, they say, they see, I don't care if I just declare that the person who loves you is me, hey! ”

It's a strange melody, more light and agile than our ode to the Mother Goddess, and the melody rhythm is very lively, especially the phrase "lying on the grass under the stars" is really very appropriate, but when it comes to the next few sentences, it is a bit too straightforward.

"Stop, stop!" I hurriedly stopped him, "The first two sentences are not bad, but what kind of mess is there in the back!" ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Leo was a little unsatisfied, "It's very good, and it fits the current atmosphere very well, it's perfect!" Although, it's not ...... I wrote it"

"Don't you think the last few sentences are too explicit?" I was a little depressed, "Although the melody is good, but, but, saying such a straightforward meaning, not only will the Atayal priest be embarrassed, but Iru and Bojie will also hear my thoughts, right?" ”

"I'm afraid of him!" Leo said, "You've made up your mind to snatch a woman from that young patriarch, so be blatant!" ”

"Again, don't do that," I said, "it's too flamboyant......"

"That'...... Try a different song? Leo said.

"Well, you've heard anything more suitable, tactful," I said, "and that's a good idea, after all, not many people can think of sending a song...... Even the priests rarely dared to write songs casually, and the commoners would sing some minor tunes that could not be put on the stage, and they only sang and played during the festival, or hummed when they were farming. ”

"Art comes from life, especially labor life," Leo said, "That's okay, I'm also an otaku, living in the information age, reading films, ah no, reading countless songs, there is always one for you!" Wait, I'll think about it. ”

"Think about it slowly," I said, looking at the starry sky, and my mood suddenly became relaxed, "I thought about how to pick up the topic again." ”

"Hey, there's progress!" Leo said.

He began to hum an inexplicable tune, but it was much stranger and shorter than the previous one, and sometimes he just hummed a few syllables and said to himself, "This is not good...... This doesn't work......"

I didn't bother to rush him, after all, there was no rush now, and we could chat leisurely.

"Speaking of the stars in the sky, I am reminded of the stories my grandfather told me," I said, "and although many of them are recorded in the library of the priesthood, there are also a few that are not found in the books." ”

"Oh?" Atayal priest said, "The myth of the stars, I have seen it before......"

"And the priest hasn't seen it?" "It's a must-have!" Bihon, tell me a special story you've heard......"

"I haven't heard of any star myths," said Bojie, "or tell me about it first......

"Hey, it's really troublesome, we've all studied shamanism, and you're just a warrior, and you don't like to read," said Iru, "If it weren't for the fact that you have the son of the mayor, you'd probably not even have a chance to read!" ”

"What are you talking about...... Bojie scratched his head, "tell me a story......

"The myth of the stars, in fact, is quite complicated, but the main content is quite simple," said the priest of Atayal, "I will tell you about it first, and then, Bijon will tell us again, listen!" ”

"Thank you, Priestess Atayal, you're so nice!" Bojie said gratefully.

Atayal priest is always so amiable.

"Well," I said, "it's not bad to listen to it again." ”

The priest said, "First of all, let's look at the star in the east, and by the way, under the five stars in a circle, the one that is a little dark and purple...... That is the moon god, that is, the evil moon god's kingdom, the evil moon god is the mythical evil god who tries to devour the moon god, and the moon god defeats the evil moon god under the protection of the mother god, and the evil moon god's kingdom is decaying in the starry sky, getting darker and darker, because the hatred between the evil moon god and the moon god cannot be resolved, so whenever the moon avoidance star appears in the starry sky, the moon will not appear......"

"However, the Moon Planet does not appear more than four days a month," said Iru, "It is said that a thousand years ago, the Moon Planet appeared five days a month, and now, the Evil Moon God's kingdom is close to death......

"Wow......" Bojie sighed, "so there is a story like this......"

"The story of the moon god and the evil moon god is just the beginning," the priest of Atayal continued, "and then the five stars next to it, the story of the five sisters of the North Pole...... The Five Sisters of the North Pole are not gods, but they are blessed by the god of the North Star, become saints who walk on earth, and ascend to the stars after death......"

Priestess Atayal recounted the stories I had heard as a child, and I was familiar with the plot, but I still listened to them with relish.

Bojie was even more amazed to hear it, and Iru occasionally added a few words.

It's almost two meals, and the story is almost telled.

"Next, it's time for Bihon." The priest Atayal said,

"Huh? Oh, it's my turn? "I was still immersed in the story and didn't react.

"The gods in the sky, it's really a mess!" Bojie is still sighing, "It's really embarrassing for Mother Earth to raise such a bunch of disobedient children...... By the way, Bihon, who is the story you're going to tell? ”

"Well, it's a druid," I said, "and even though my grandfather told it, he actually heard it from my grandfather." ”

"Bijon seems to have said that my grandfather was a druid," said Priest Atayal, "and I'm a little curious, after all, druids don't like bustling places, and they rarely appear in the city, and I've only seen them a few times when I'm out on missions." ”

"Well, this is the story of the first druid," I said, "the first sage of the Druid Order, the great Great Druid Alberma, was once an outcast child in the wilderness, and he was blessed by the goddess of the forest and the god of the wilderness......"

I told the story of the druids, and not only the three of them were the priests of Atayal, but even Leo, who was still humming the song of the earth, stopped.

"It turns out that there is such a story in the Druids...... Priest Atayal said with a sigh after hearing this.

"I think I've heard the first half of the story," said Iru, "and I haven't heard the second half ......of the story of saving the savannah......"

Leo said, "Well, why haven't I heard this story?" ”

I said, "That's what my grandfather told me before you came, but he had a bad relationship with his grandfather and didn't like to tell druid stories very much." ”

"Is there anything else?" "One more story!" ”

I said, "There's another one, but it has nothing to do with the gods, which tells the story of a mother who puts her children out into the wild and turns them into wild beasts...... It is about a woman whose husband died, and her family was so poor that she had to leave her children to fend for themselves in the wilderness, saying that she would take them home when the crops were ripe...... As a result, when the dealer matured, the children turned into bison...... Later, the mother brought the bison home and raised it until she died of old age, and finally became the constellation of morning glory in the sky......"

"It's miserable......" said Atayal priest with some sadness.

"Uh, this story, is it really fake?" Bojie said, "How can a good minotaur become a bison?" ”

"I'm afraid it's genetic degradation, atavism!" Leo interjected.

"Have you thought of singing any songs?" I asked him.

"Well, all I can think of are very straightforward love songs," said Leo, "and it's a good fit, but you're too shy to sing them!" ”

"Hey, are you earthlings so direct and bold?" I was a little disgruntled and said, "That's too explicit!" ”

"That'...... I think about it again," Leo was a little depressed, "and it is really difficult to fit the situation and express affection...... If I had to make it up myself, I wouldn't! ”

"Simple!" I said, "Otherwise, just find a song of blessings, whatever is affectionate or unwilling, leave it alone!" ”

"Isn't that right?" Leo said, "It's so romantic...... Could it be that I just give her a birthday song? ”

"Birthday song? Is there such a song? I asked.

Leo sang directly: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you happy birthday to you - is it okay to be so simple and naïve?" ”

He's a little choked, but I'm attracted by the melody.

"That's great!" I happily said, "This is it!" ”

Leo seemed to be frightened: "Hey, what do you mean, such a simple song, can it work?" ”

"Sounds good!" I excitedly said, "It's much better than the love songs you sang before!" ”

Leo wailed even more depressedly: "I'll go-waste half a day of brain cells, I didn't expect this most humble song to meet your aesthetics...... Alas, yes, you are not only so strange in your aesthetics of the opposite sex, but also in your aesthetics of art! ”

"Teach me how to sing!" I say.

"Let's talk about one more!" Bojie said.

"Well," I said as I sat up hurriedly, "I suddenly feel the urge to sing, Priestess Atayal, and I think, for your birthday, sing a song!" ”

"Huh?" Priestess Ataya looked at me in amazement.

"What? Do you also write songs? Iru didn't seem to believe it at all.

"Happy birthday to you......" I sang the song in our language with Leo, "Happy birthday to you!" ”
