Movement 4: Humanity Tells Me (6): The Society of God’s Descendants (2-in-1)
"So what is the sales performance of the "Winter Journey" record?" Luo Yin asked the key question.
"The first order is 1,580 copies," Sheeran said.
"Not much." Luo Yin recalled, "Mr. Fan Ning's first album sold more than 4,000, and the sales of 'Resurrection' exceeded 60,000. This "Winter Journey" even reached the 3,000 first order threshold for a three-star rating.
Still a long way to go."
"Faya Records is a small record company!" Sheeran emphasized. "We cannot compare it with the record industry system of the Northern Continent. In the Southern Continent, there is a talented and beautiful young soprano named Renela, who was born in the royal family.
He starred in many operas and published many records, but the first order number for a record released at the same time as "Winter Journey" was only 1,880 copies."
"Furthermore, didn't Caroln often emphasize that 'you need to look at market data, but you can't just look at the data'? Although the pre-ordered records are still traveling across the ocean, I read the released music scores in advance. The atmosphere of these art songs is poignant and ambitious.
Noble, timeless in artistic conception, and unique in style, it is truly a rare treasure among romantic vocal works..."
Speaking of this, Sheeran made a serious suggestion to Fanning: "Carone, your vocal symphony creation skills are obvious to all, but you don't seem to have written many art songs. Are you interested in entering this field?"
"
"A little bit." Fan Ning said, "Maybe you will hear it later?"
"Oh, that's great. And where are you at in writing your "Third Symphony"? Have you considered adding a tear-jerking chorus to the last movement..."
"Not yet, what's the point of playing the same tricks all the time."
Fan Ning blinked and smoothed his sleeves again, and Xilan couldn't help but smile softly when she saw his action.
"Let's see if there is anything else."
Several people shook their heads.
"Then I wish you all a good night." He grinned, "I will continue to contact you when the construction of various lines of halls in Uflanser begins soon."
"Good night." Xilan pursed her lips.
"Be careful to avoid danger." Luo Yin looked at him deeply.
"Okay." Fan Ning said not to worry too much, and then cut off the spiritual connection with the two candlesticks.
When there were only two people left on the podium again, Qiong's expression became solemn, and she raised her little face and stared at him:
"The whole process of the creation of Vienne's "Afternoon of the Faun" and your "Poem of Awakening", two pieces related to the 'pool', what else is special about them?"
"You must still have a lot of things that you haven't told me. I suggest you tell me what you can tell first."
"Okay, let me think about it." Fan Ning exhaled slowly.
He told the origin of "Afternoon of the Faun", including the dreams that ran through Viennese's entire life, and the name of the god of "Endless Fugue" without concealing it. He even mentioned that this work was the result of Mr. F channeling some kind of power.
In Jean Vienne's creation, apart from careful consideration, he temporarily omitted the "old days" factor.
After listening to the story, Qiong let out a dull sigh: "I feel like your life story is more complicated than mine, but at least now I know that the origin of the path to Qiming Church is related to your teacher... It's related to this secret realm.
Who is the witness of the 'Endless Fugue'?"
"The old organist in Vienne and Uncle Anton have been devout believers in the 'Unfallen Fire' all their lives. Judging from the old organist's tortuous experience in exploring dreams, there is some connection here with the 'Theme of God'. Could it be that
Are you saying that in addition to the 'Unfallen Fire', the Holy Sun Church also secretly enshrines an existence called 'Endless Fugue'?"
"In short, the upper level is a confrontation between apostles." Fan Ning concluded more firmly, "One side may be the Holy Sun Church, and the other side is together with Mr. F, Vasius, and Sylvia. The one about
Snake's organization... and the three organizations related to 'Chi' in the southern continent, Fanghui Temple, Holy Wound Order and Joyful Listening Society are probably all under its influence or promotion, even if they are ambitious and want to contain 'Red
The investigation of the undercurrents behind the scenes in Chi's Special Inspection Office is only in its infancy. You see, Mr. F's activities clearly started 40 years ago, but the snake organization only entered their field of vision half a month ago...
"
"You yourself are also under the influence." Joan reminded aloud, "For the time being, Wei En can be regarded as a 'positive promotion' party, and Mr. F is a 'negative interference' party, but this is not necessarily the case. It is in your personal interests.
From a personal perspective, positive and negative may change at any time. Who knows whether the destination you are pushed to is heaven or an abyss..."
Fan Ning nodded silently, he didn't know this.
In front of the three of them, he just gave some examples of "if you were not careful and everything ended", but they were all picking things from the past. In fact, there were several of them in the past few days alone, such as in Renee's case.
In the bathhouse of the villa, unknown and terrifying things surged up from behind him, such as the echo of the pool of 'good times' that almost melted him next to the piano in St. Arternes Hospital...
In the current situation, not to mention seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages for the "great achievements of the upper levels", one needs to be careful just to deal with the "red pool" in front of him or the special patrol offices searching for him all over the world...
Joan continued to ask: "So what is the origin of the second piece, your "Poem of Awakening"? Compared to forty years ago, the current midsummer is equally strange."
"I told you this a long time ago." Fan Ning said, "In order to help you and myself resist the infection, I dissected and discussed the pollution knowledge of 'Miss Crimson' when I was writing - I targeted her methods.
After making a move, she further counterattacked my move. With the help of my 'Awakening Chant', this year's midsummer had the same variables as forty years ago... This is how the current situation was formed step by step.
"
"But this matter is essentially different. First, it has no direct relationship with Mr. F. Second, it will not be as completely out of control as "Afternoon of a Faun". "Poem of Awakening" is just a reference to my "Third Symphony"
In the first part, the subsequent development is still under the control of my free will..."
Joan had been looking down at her insteps, pacing back and forth, and then she raised her head:
"Caron, you are about to face promotion to the Knower. Regardless of external dangers, I also need to remind you of your own risks."
"What?" Fan Ning asked subconsciously.
"The containment of gnosis will fundamentally change your spirituality, and your spirituality will further change your body. Generally speaking, this will make your body stronger and your inspiration higher, even less than before.
The knowledge and confusion that I understand can be solved smoothly..."
"But you also know that all knowledge has a price, and rising to a higher level of inspiration is by no means a one-sided good thing. Therefore, before promotion, you must systematically sort out and digest the hidden knowledge you have received, and calm down the hidden risks.
To the lowest…”
Fan Ning listened quietly, and Qiong's next words suddenly made his expression become extremely solemn:
"Otherwise, after promotion, your high inspiration may exponentially amplify some originally inconspicuous hidden knowledge pollution."
…
At the same moment, in another hidden corner deep in the dream, the stairs were crisscrossed and the texture was as transparent as glass.
Deep below the "Chaotic Heavenly Steps" of the secret realm, the understandable image of the Lord of Witnesses, "The Abyss", is always the sharp light as sharp as a knife and the endless cyan storm.
Two endless staircases stretched out in staggered positions. On one side sat Pogličić, who was wearing a nostalgic denim-colored double-breasted dress. On the opposite side, there was a wider staircase, including He Meng, Gang, and Owen.
, there were more than twenty profound ones sitting there.
The entire Special Inspection Department's inspector generals and senior officials gathered here, far exceeding the number of Insights from other official extraordinary organizations that can be counted on one hand.
At this moment, all these senior officials were sitting upright, with solemn demeanor, listening to He Meng reporting work to the leader. The only exception was a young man with messy hair and his head tucked into his collar sitting casually on the edge of the steps.
He lay on the ground, immersed in playing with the things in front of him.
It was a strange scale-like vessel, with a grayish-white turbid wax all over it. There was a wheel-shaped symbol shaped like a lake under the base, which gave people a dizzy feeling of spinning from time to time.
This man was burning pieces of paper with music scores written on them out of thin air.
The flame did not turn it into ashes, but burned it into a transparent liquid wax-like substance that dripped on the balance, and then the balance would tilt left or right every time.
And if you are someone who knows something about music, if you look closely, you will find that most of the works recorded in these scores are very familiar to the public!
Niemann's "Piano Concerto No. 1" and Fanning's "Violin Concerto in E minor", the balance is tilted towards the latter;
Swellinck's "Summer Nights at Lebich" and Fanning's "The Sea", the balance is tilted towards the latter;
Schillings' "First Symphony" "Untitled" and Fanning's "First Symphony" "Giant", the balance is tilted towards the former;
Fan Ning's "Choral Fantasy in C minor" and "Second Symphony" were "resurrected", and the balance tilted towards the former;
Scheler's "Winterreise" and Fanning's "Second Symphony" were "resurrected", and the balance tilted towards the former...
The young man kept fiddling with the scales, while He Meng's low reporting voice continued to echo in the sky:
"...Scheler, male, about 28-30 years old, is a wandering musician. His artistic style is his own. It not only shows a solid foundation in serious music from the Western Continent, but also combines the temperament of a troubadour from the Southern Continent."
, and is well versed in the humanistic core of interpreting 'Palace Love'..."
"The difference from Fan Ning is that he is keen on playing classical guitar and the art song genre. The response to the "Winterreise" record recorded by his new student has been close to that of veteran opera stars or royal newcomers. Of course, his orchestral attainments
It is also very high. "Poetry of Awakening" directly helped another conductor student to upgrade to "Forging the Lion", and this is just the first movement of a symphony he composed... His level may be close to
'Crescent Moon' was previously unknown due to a series of reasons such as its perverse personality, cynicism, and reclusive behavior. If it develops steadily in the public eye for 1-2 years, it is very likely to be promoted at the Harvest Art Festival...
..."
"In terms of background checks?" Pogolic asked calmly.
"For troubadours, this aspect is relatively simple. Scheler's self-report and his wandering experience can corroborate each other, and there is no problem in preliminary field verification." He Meng replied respectfully.
"Our investigators used gentle 'mystical techniques' to observe the sleep patterns of some people in several border towns in the Western Continent, and found fragments of art songs composed by Scheler, including parts of "Winter Journey"
The works also include some of the songs that he said were "about to be used by soprano students to compete"... This shows that Scheler still left private memories and experiences in the hearts of a few people who knew him."
"Does the rest of you think there is a problem?" Pogolic's eyes passed over the people who were sitting upright.
"Have you talked to the investigators?" Owen asked.
"The conversation can be 'bought' or 'confessed' in advance." He Meng said, "The threshold for this operation is too low, just like 'applying forged evidence'. It does not even require the use of extraordinary abilities, and the verification of dreams and music memories
The method is relatively more reliable."
"No more." Owen nodded in approval.
"Who specifically have memories of Scheler's works?" Oka also asked a question.
"The investigators screened a total of thirty-four possible people, and there were five people with clear indications, including two urban aristocratic ladies with low titles, a lady from a wealthy businessman's family, a country squire's daughter and a miller.
My daughter..." He Meng said.
"What about the timeline?"
"There are some overlaps with each other, and the overall span is about four years."
"Four years is enough, are they all ignorant?"
"Of course, if you are a knowledgeable person, it will be difficult to meet the 'gentle' requirement if you want to pry into the way of dreaming."
"I've finished asking," Gang said.
"Does anyone else have any questions?"
"Does He Meng have anything to add?"
After no one responded to the first sentence, Pogorelic looked at He Meng again.
Many people carefully distinguish the leader's tone and expression, but cannot discern his mood and attitude.
He Meng thought carefully and then spoke:
"That's it for music. As for the mysterious side, Scheele is also top-notch in strength. Judging from his attack records, he was able to toy with a suspected high-ranking esoteric cultist during the journey, and then easily defused it.
The secret technique of confinement ‘semi-officially’ used by a Bishop of Fanghui Temple can basically be determined to be the One of Insight.”
"Judging from the concrete light and shadow of inspiration, his study phase is 'pool', and possibly 'candle'. Although he is not a clergyman of Fanghui Temple, judging from his free and easy style of acting and his focus on spiritual happiness, his
The source of hidden knowledge and inspiration is still closely related to the 'Fanghui Poet'."
Pogolelic said "hmm", indicating that He Meng's report could be ended temporarily:
"So your thinking and questions miss the point."
"The aspect between the One Who Knows and the Pond is a more reliable indicator than the investigation on the artistic side."
At this time, Owen asked: "But, leader, Fan Ning was at the highest level before his disappearance. Can we definitely rule out the possibility of him being promoted to the Deeper?"
Pogolic looked at the man who had been sitting on the steps burning music sheets and playing with the scales:
"Mr. Wax, please answer the questions for Inspector Owen."
Mr. Wax raised his head when he heard the words: "Now after one year of control, all the official formal keys of the first level door have been used by 'phantom people' and occupied the gnosis storage space. Under normal circumstances, Fan Ning is very
He will soon be able to destroy a 'phantom man' under the control of the Guidance School and be promoted through normal channels. But now, if he wants to pass through the door, he must seek out the secrets of the evil god organization that have not been investigated yet and have obvious contamination indicators.
key."
"The remnants of the leader's divinity in the Southern Continent have intersected with Scheler. As the actual promoter of this year's Awakening Chant, Scheler also felt the revelation of some entanglements in the secret history.
Traces of the hospital... His condition is no problem, his spirituality is flowing freely, and he even got a lot of inspiration for the subsequent writing of the symphony as he wished."
"Schele is basically reliable."
At this time, Oka politely thanked and said:
"Thanks for answering the question, but I just want to ask Fan Ning's question. Apart from the official way or the evil key, is there no other way for him to be promoted? For example, is it possible for a person to create his own key and be promoted successfully?
?..."
Mr. Wax pressed his hand on the shaking scale and was silent for a while:
"have."
"But then, as soon as you are promoted for the first time, you and He Meng will be no match for you."
Everyone looked solemn and confused when they heard this, and Owen couldn't help but asked:
"Why?"
Gang and He Meng are the more experienced second-level inspectors of the Special Inspection Department. If Mr. Wax thinks that they are no match, then wouldn't Owen himself, who is only at the top of the first level of Xuxiao...
"The upper and lower connection between the doors is called the climbing path, and successfully creating your own key means that you will carve out a new and stable climbing path in Huita. Although the doors are still those doors, this path will never change.
It has not been depleted, and the observation angle of that gnosis has never been occupied by anyone, and it is 100% consistent with your spirituality. The power of the secret technique of Chengdu understood in this way will be extremely powerful, and even door passers at higher heights may not be able to do so.
It’s his opponent…”
"Judging from my latest research results on the secret history, the issue of using self-created keys to build a climbing path is still one of the key secrets related to 'whether the God of Origin can completely maintain self-knowledge after ascending to the HOS seat'...
...However, this is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky. The self-created key is a system, not just one, but a set. But the paradox is that the first key requires the climber to use his own vocabulary to describe the entire
Metaphorically interpreting the structure of the Huita, for a knowledgeable person who has never even entered the Huita, trying to understand the secrets of the 'divine gates' in the heights is almost..."
After Mr. Wax explained this, he gave Pogolic a questioning look, and after getting his answer, he continued:
"In the secret history that I have mastered, there may be only three people who can ascend with self-created keys. Our leader is one of them. He has traveled all the way to the six doors of 'end' by relying on the path he created.
'Gate of Annihilation', this is why the leader is almost invincible in the realm of order enforcers..."
"As for the 'Society of Gods' that has surfaced recently, it is precisely because the leader is highly suspicious of 'Mr.
…”
Mr. Wax's explanation of the deep secrets of the climbing path caused a complete silence among the senior officials of the Special Inspection Department. They not only had extreme awe and respect for the leader, but also became increasingly uneasy about this organization that worships the "Truth Man".
Got up.
Owen, who was the first to ask why, couldn't help but ask again:
"There may be three in total, and there is one more person, who is it?"
"That man is not in the same era as us, and his deeds in the second half of his life are still a mystery." Mr. Wax slowly shook his head, and then said a name that most people present had heard:
"The first saint of the Holy Sun Church, Saint Sebastian."
