The priests blew the horns one after another, and the sound of the horns went from the lowest level to the high level step by step. It was long, loud, and majestic. If this was played in the outside world, Angel could even imagine that the sound of the horn would startle a flock of birds.
The sight of wild birds.
After the horns of the priests sounded, the selection of the choir began.
One by one, delicate women wearing clean long dresses came on stage and showed off their singing voices.
"Elf Epic" is the stepping stone to the secret treasure, and the singer with a special bloodline is the real key to the secret treasure. The selection of a singer is not based on who has a good singing voice, but on finding the "key" that can unlock the secret treasure.
In order to quickly lock the "key", a group of four people are selected, and each singer sings a piece of "The Fairy Epic".
Groups of singers came on stage, and each singer's voice was beautiful. Angel and Shadow both listened to the reverberation of the sound with an appreciative attitude.
"Speaking of which, the lyrics of this "Fairy Epic" should record some historical facts of the Kulakuka tribe, right?" Angel asked the high priest.
The high priest nodded: "Yes, although some words have been adjusted for syllables, most of the things described in it are true."
"The second and third arias, I probably know the meaning. In the first verse, 'The first brave man broke into the flowery manor with a sword in one hand, and with the hope of the red-haired princess, he picked the first rose stained with morning dew.'
What does this record mean? If we go by chronological order, this first aria should have happened a thousand years ago, right?" Angel asked curiously.
The high priest's eyes were vaguely reminiscent of the past. After a while, he nodded and said, "Your Excellency, you are right. This episode indeed happened thousands of years ago."
"The brave men in "Elf Epic" are actually the Kulakuka tribesmen who have been beautified by historians."
Angel probably guessed that the brave man at the beginning of the fourth paragraph, in fact, upon closer inspection, you can basically tell that this is a fictional and beautified character. History is recorded by later generations, and almost most civilizations
There are traces of Spring and Autumn style of writing in the original historical books, which is not surprising.
"Sir, have you ever thought about why Lady Isabel was willing to come and save us when our race was about to become extinct a thousand years ago?"
Although the Kulakuka tribe is very talented in craftsmanship, they still belong to the mortal race after all. Would a legendary wizard be so kind to save the mortal race?
Angel hesitated and said: "The flowery manor recorded in the epic, the red-haired princess...referring to Lord Isabel?"
The high priest nodded and said: "Yes, a true brave man appeared in our clan thousands of years ago. He is my father. He accidentally broke into a wonderful flower manor and helped a trapped person. This
The trapped person is Lady Isabel."
"Unfortunately, my father died in the Flower Manor. Lady Isabel found us with his relics and left a conch horn, saying that when we are in trouble, we can blow the conch horn and she will come." The high priest said slowly.
He said slowly, when he talked about his father, a faint light appeared in his cloudy eyes.
At this point in the story, Angel basically understood the general outline. Isabel owed a favor to the high priest's father. When the Kulakuka tribe was persecuted by humans and was almost exterminated, they blew the conch horn, and Isabel came as requested.
She saved the entire Kulakuka tribe. Even though she brought this tribe to the Garden of Living Souls and arranged a magic energy array to absorb souls, she still let go of the descendants of the original brave man, and
He was given the ability to live almost forever. This is the truth behind why the high priest has not died for thousands of years.
After the high priest's mood calmed down a little, Angel asked again.
"The second verse of the hymn mentions the kingdom of the serpent. I heard someone say that the kingdom of the serpent actually refers to Akso Sanya?"
When Angel finished his question, Shadow sitting aside raised his eyebrows. This was the second time he heard Angel talk about this issue. The first time he asked Angel why he cared about the history of mortals, his answer
It was curiosity. But this second time, Angel mentioned this 'Nation of Giant Snakes' again. He didn't believe that Angel was curious. Maybe there was something strange in this?
Shadow did not speak at this time, but just raised his ears and listened to their conversation.
The high priest was also a little surprised that Angel would be interested in the history of thousands of years ago, but he didn't think much about it and nodded: "Yes, the country of giant snakes in the hymn does refer to Akso Sanya."
"Do you know why this country was named Akso Sanya?" Angel asked a question that made Shadow even more puzzled.
But unlike Shadow's confused face, the high priest didn't have much surprise on his face after hearing Angel's question. Instead, he smiled and said: "My lord, what you want to ask is actually about 'Axo'."
Bar?"
Angel was stunned and nodded: "Its name is Axl, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed Axl." The high priest heard the restraint in Angel's words, so his answer followed Angel's attitude and did not talk much.
This made Shadow a little dissatisfied. He pushed Angel and said, "Ah? What are you talking about? What is Axl?"
The high priest smiled and said nothing.
Angel did not answer Shadow, 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, hey, I seem to have heard of this name?"
Angel turned to look at Shadow. He had been searching in Waterglass for a long time, but no one knew the details of Pocrates. He didn't expect Shadow to have heard of it?
Shadow waited for a while and then said: "Pocrates seems to be a... city in Axos Sanya?"
The high priest waved his hand and said in denial: "Pocrates is the holy land of doctors and the place protected by Akso."
The words of the high priest basically confirmed what Angel was thinking. The giant snake named Akso was indeed under Pocrates. Even though Pocrates had been destroyed, it still silently guarded the last survivor.
"Then do you know where Pocrates is?"
The high priest shook his head: "I don't know. No one knows except the royal family of Akso Shengya. However, I remember that when our family lived in Xipolak thousands of years ago, every time a doctor took an oath before joining the job, he would swear an oath toward the southeast.
, I heard that that is the direction of Pocrates."
Southeast... Angel recalled his position when he left the water, and it seemed that it was indeed southeast of Sipolak.
When Angel asked this, he stopped asking. Because the shadow suddenly tilted his head and faced him with a curious expression. No matter which direction Angel turned his head, he immediately followed. It looked like you didn't answer.
, the attitude of never giving up.
Angel has no intention of selling out Axl's location. It is a wizard-level monster. If an official wizard knows about it, it will probably be eaten away in a few days. Axl is actually considered
He had the kindness to lead the way, plus he also accepted Axl's benefits and a whole coffin of blood, how could he have the nerve to betray it.
However, Shadow is not a fool. He remembers that when he told Angel that "the country of the giant snake is called Axoshengya", Angel once asked him: "What is the name of the giant snake?" At that time, he
I didn’t get the answer. After thinking about the conversation between Angel and the high priest, I can easily deduce the answer:
"Axo, is that actually the name of that giant snake, right?"
Angel didn't answer.
Shadow continued: "Is it because you are so concerned about Axl because you have met Axl? Or, have you ever seen something related to Axl?"
Angel lowered his eyebrows while Shadow narrowed his eyes.
"You have seen Axl." Shadow suddenly became excited: "Axl is not dead, right? Where is it now? If it has not died for a thousand years, wouldn't it be a wizard-level monster?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Angel said angrily.
Shadow smiled and said nothing, but thoughts flashed across his eyes. From what the high priest said, Axl seemed to be near "Pocrates"...
"You'd better not go after Pocrates." Angel saw through Shadow's little thoughts at a glance and warned with a frown: "That's not a place you can go to!"
Shadow pretended to be "ignorant" and didn't know what Angel was talking about.
Angel's expression was extremely solemn: "For the sake of the Khulna contract we signed, I would like to remind you one last thing, you will only die if you go there. Even if you become a wizard, even the wizards on the path of true knowledge will suffer the same fate.
."
Pocrates is not an easy place to get along with, it is the territory of colorful dragonflies. Angel still doesn’t know why the colorful dragonflies build their nests there, but he is self-aware, and with his strength, he is not qualified to explore further.
, that’s why he lived in Pocrates for so long without actually going to the lair to take a look, but simply looking for an exit.
"That's all, if you really want to commit suicide, I won't stop you."
Angel's words were serious, and Shadow was stunned for a moment. 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 single spark can start a prairie fire.
The conversation here is almost over, and more than a dozen batches of people have gone through the selection process for the Sky Choir.
But unfortunately, no one who can activate the disk appeared.
"Isn't the Sky Choir selected every year? Can't we use the previous singers?" Seeing that there are fewer and fewer singers, Angel also frowned. According to the high priest, about 3% of women have the ability to activate
The bloodline of the secret treasure. 3% is not too little, but it is not too much. But seeing this rhythm, it is very likely that you will get nothing.
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 the selection next time."
"One-time use? After it has been activated once, will it have any effect on the singer's body?"
"No, on the contrary, their status will rise as a result of joining the Sky Choir." The high priest said.
While they were chatting, Angel glanced at the selection stage with his peripheral vision. A new batch of singers had already appeared on the stage.
Among this group of singers, Angel saw a familiar figure.
