Section 408 Selection of singers
The priests blew their horns one after another, and the sound of the horns was played from the lowest scale to the high scale. The www.biquge.info pen is long and magnificent, and if it is played in the outside world, Ingres can even imagine the sound of the horn, startling a scene of birds and wild birds.
After the trumpets of the priests sounded, the selection of the choir began.
One by one, delicate women in clean long skirts took the stage one by one and showed their singing voices.
"Goblin Epic" is the stepping stone of the secret treasure, and the singer with a special bloodline is the real key to the secret treasure. The selection of singers is not actually about listening to who has a good singing voice, but looking for this "key" that can open the secret treasure.
In order to quickly lock the "key", the selection is a group of four, and each singer sings a piece of "Goblin Epic".
Batches came to the stage, and each singer had a beautiful voice. Both Ingres and Shadow listened to the echo of the sky with appreciation.
"Speaking of which, the lyrics of this 'Goblin Epic' should be a record of some historical facts of the Kulakuka tribe, right?" Ingres asked the High Priest.
The high priest nodded: "Yes, although some words have been adjusted for the sake of syllables, most of the things described in it are true. ”
"The second and third sections, I probably know what they mean. What does the first stanza mean, 'The first brave man broke into the flowery manor with a sword in one hand, and at the expectation of the red-haired princess, picked the first rose stained with morning dew'?
The high priest's eyes were in a trance of reminiscing about the past, and after a long while, he said, "Your Excellency is right, this is indeed the past of a thousand years ago. ”
"The brave man in "Fairy Epic" is actually the Kulakuka tribe who has been beautified by historians. ”
This Angel probably guessed that the brave man at the beginning of the fourth paragraph, in fact, after careful scrutiny, can basically see that this is a fictional and beautified character. History is recounted by later generations, and it is not surprising that almost the vast majority of civilizations have traces of Spring and Autumn brushwork in the original history.
"My lord, have you ever wondered why Lord Isabel was willing to come down and save us when our race was about to be wiped out a thousand years ago?"
Although the Kurakuka clan is very talented in craftsmanship, they still belong to the mortal clan after all, and a legendary wizard would have such a good heart to save the mortal race?
Angel hesitated: "The flower manor recorded in the epic, the red-haired princess...... Is that Mistress Isabel referring to?"
The High Priest nodded, "Yes, a thousand years ago there was a true brave man in my clan, and he was my father. He inadvertently breaks into a wonderful flower estate and does a favor to a trapped manor. This trapped person is Lord Isabel. ”
"Unfortunately, my father fell in the Flower Manor, and Lord Isabel came to us with his relics, and left a trumpet, saying that if we were in trouble, we could blow the trumpet, and she would come. The High Priest said slowly, his cloudy eyes glowing with light water as he spoke of his father.
At this point in the story, Ingres basically understands the general idea. Isabel owes the High Priest's father a favor, and when the Kurakuka tribe was persecuted by humans to the point of near extinction, they sounded the trumpet, and Isabel came as promised.
She saved the entire Kulakuka clan, even though she took this race to the Soul Garden and set up a magic energy array to absorb the soul, but the descendant of the brave man, she still let him go, and gave him the ability to live almost forever, this is the truth why the high priest has not died for thousands of years.
After the High Priest's mood calmed down a little, Angel asked again.
In the second stanza of the song, the kingdom of the serpent is mentioned. I've heard that the kingdom of the serpent refers to Akor Shengya?"
As Ingres' question fell, the Shadow who was sitting next to him raised his eyebrows, the second time he had heard Ingres talk about it. The first time he asked Ingres why he cared about mortal history, he replied curiously. But this second time, Ingres mentioned this 'Giant Serpent Country' again, and he didn't believe that Angel was curious. Maybe there's something strange about this?
The Shadow didn't say anything at this point, just pricked up his ears and listened to their conversation.
The high priest was also a little surprised, Ingres would be interested in the history of a thousand years ago, but he didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Yes, the country of the giant serpent in the song does refer to Axor Shengya. ”
"Do you know why this country was named Axo Saints?" Ingres asked a question that puzzled the Shadows even more.
But unlike the Shadow's confused face, the High Priest didn't have much surprise on his face when he heard Ingres's question, but smiled and said, "Your Excellency, what you want to ask is actually 'Axol', right?"
Angel was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Its name is called Axol, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's Akso. The high priest heard the restraint in Ingres's words, so his answer followed Ingres's attitude and did not say much.
This made the Shadow a little dissatisfied, and he nudged Angel, "Ahhhhhhhh
The high priest laughed but said nothing.
Ingres didn't answer the Shadow either, but continued to ask, "Then have you heard of Pocrates?"
This question made the high priest stunned. The shadow on the other side also frowned: "Pocrates, huh, I think I've heard of this name?"
Ingres turned his head to look at the Shadow, he had been looking for a long time in Watergrass, but no one knew the details of Pocrates, but he didn't expect the Shadow to hear about it?
The shadow waited for a long time before he said, "Pocrates seems to be one of Axor Shengya...... City?"
The high priest waved his hand and denied: "Pocrates is the holy place of physicians, and it is the place of Akso's protection. ”
The words of the high priest basically confirmed what Ingres had in mind. The giant serpent named Axo is indeed below Pocrates, and even though Pocrates has been destroyed, it still silently guards the last survivor.
"Do you know where Pocrates is?"
The high priest shook his head: "I don't know, except for the royal family of Axor Shengya, no one knows." However, I remember that when my people lived in West Borac a thousand years ago, every time the physician joined the profession, he would take an oath in the direction of the southeast, and I heard that it was the direction of Pocrates. ”
South-East ...... Ingres recalls where he was when he left underwater, and it seemed that he was indeed southeast of West Borac.
Ingres asked, and then stopped. Because the shadow suddenly tilted his head and pointed it at him with a curious expression, no matter which direction Angel turned his head, he immediately followed. If you don't answer, you won't give up.
Angel didn't plan to sell Axol's position, it was a wizard-level magical beast, and if the official wizard knew about it, it was estimated that it would not take a few days to be eaten. Akso actually has the grace to lead the way, plus he also received the benefits of Aksol, as well as a whole coffin of essence blood, how embarrassed is he to betray it.
However, Shadow was not a fool, he remembered that when he told Ingres, "The name of the serpent's kingdom is Axor", Ingres once asked him, "What is the name of the serpent?"
"Axol, that's actually the name of the giant serpent, right?"
Ingres did not answer.
Shadow continued, "Do you care so much about Axor because you've seen Axol?"
Angel lowered his eyebrows. The Shadow narrowed his eyes.
"You've seen Axol. The Shadow suddenly became excited: "Akso isn't dead, is it? Where is it now? If it hasn't died for a thousand years, wouldn't it be a wizard-level magical beast?"
"It's none of your business. "Angel doesn't have a good airway.
Shadow smiled and didn't speak, but his eyes flashed with thought, hearing from the High Priest that Axel seemed to be near "Pocrates......
"You'd better not go to the Pocratic idea. Angel saw through the shadow's careful thoughts at a glance, and frowned and warned, "It's not a place where you can go to Xiao Xiang!"
The Shadow pretended to be "ignorant" and didn't know what Ingres was talking about.
Ingres's expression was extremely solemn: "For the sake of us signing the Kulna contract, I will remind you one last sentence, you can only die if you go there, even if you become a wizard, even the wizard of the True Path will end up like this." ”
Pocrates is not a good place to get along, it's the territory of colorful dragonflies. Ingres still doesn't know why the colorful dragonfly nests there, but he is self-aware, and with his strength, he is not qualified to explore below, so he has lived in Pocrates for so long, and he didn't really go to the nest to have a look, but simply looked for an exit.
"That said, if you really want to die, I won't stop you. ”
Angels' words were very heavy, the shadow was stunned for a moment, and most of the raging flames in his heart were extinguished, leaving only a little flame. But sometimes as long as you still have a little thought in your heart, a spark can also start a prairie fire.
The conversation is almost over, and the selection of the Sky Choir has also gone through more than a dozen batches.
Unfortunately, no one who can activate the disc has ever appeared.
"Isn't there a selection of the Sky Choir every year? Can't you use the previous singers?" Seeing that there were fewer and fewer singers, Ingres also frowned. According to the High Priest, about 3% of women have bloodlines that can activate secret treasures. 3% is not too little, but it's not too much either. But looking at this rhythm, there is a good chance that nothing will be gained.
The high priest said: "No, activating the bloodline of the secret treasure is also one-time, you can only activate it once, and you can only continue to select it next time." ”
"Once activated, does it have any effect on the singer's body?"
"No, on the contrary, because they joined the Sky Choir, their worth and status will also rise. The High Priest said.
While they were chatting, Ingres looked at the stage where a new batch of singers had already taken the stage.
In this group of singers, Ingres saw a familiar figure.
Muya Village, Babaya.
