Chapter 79 Return to the Southern Continent (6K three-in-one)
"I don't know where it came from. It may have appeared for a while, but I just found out that it was found in the body of my 'Gyanandrea' when I was practicing the piano just now."
Roy motioned to Hermosa to follow him upstairs and lifted the cello that was lying on the cushion.
"I used some methods to peel it off from the inner wall." With an incredibly absurd look on her face, she touched the f-hole on the wooden panel with her finger, meaning to remove it from the inside position.
from.
Under the bright winter sunlight, the sides and back of the piano body stretch out in harmonious proportions. The relatively simple and restrained texture is light and elegant. The bright pink color of several varnish surfaces is reminiscent of the touch and feel of rose petals.
fragrant.
Inside the piano? Near the f-hole? Hermosa frowned and thought.
The 'Gianandrea' cello currently used by Roy was a graduation gift given to her by the McAdam family. It was made by the famous "Burgundy" violin-making family in the southern continent in the 6th century.
This family is a branch of the "Saint Achones" violin-making family, or in other words, the violin-making family with a later active year is a branch inherited from the older "Saint Achones" family.
The tone of the "Gianandrea" cello is tough and mellow, deep and loud, has excellent resonance performance, and the response to subtle bowing processing is precise and profound. Its market value exceeds 300,000 pounds, and it is undoubtedly a "famous violin".
Seeing the hesitation on the other person's expression, Roy realized that the seemingly "nonsense" rhetoric taught to him by Bishop Lavoisier seemed to have some potential and remote occult basis?
"Aunt, does it sound particularly strange?" She further followed the instructions, "I suspect that someone posted it as a prank a long time ago, or that the previous owner of this piano never discovered it, because I haven't seen it recently.
There is no opportunity to meet the casual people, and there is no foreshadowing, right? No, I had an unusual dream last night."
"Dream?" Hermosa finally said, "What did you dream about?"
"It's my piano. I dreamed about the piano last night and found something in the piano today. Is this somewhat related?" Roy's tone was very puzzled. "It was just that I dreamed about playing the piano, but where was the performance?
It was in the fox lily field in the southern country. I had never been there, but the strong sunlight, strong fragrance and burning sea of flowers were exactly the same as the description in the geography magazine. On a hill, I moved a chair to face the sea of flowers.
Playing the piano, it felt really good, but unfortunately not long after, the fox lilies in my field of vision gradually withered, and then I drifted into other dreams."
Hermosa listened to the story and gradually became convinced.
This is a moving road sign leading to the "Cracking Field"!
To a certain extent, it is correct to say that road signs "have existed for a long time."
Because these violin-making families once worshiped a secret organization called the "Holy Wound Society" or the "Holy Wound Order", each of the famous violins they made had a mystical connection with the "Disintegration Field"!
——The role of the "Cracking Field" in guarding the "Worm" is formed by using the "wounds" of different famous instruments as hubs, and the "Feasting Beast" hub was only the largest one among them.
The f-hole can be said to be the most important "wound" of a stringed instrument.
When making a violin, the luthier must accurately cut two F-shaped symmetrical holes on the panel. Their position, size, line direction and other parameters will play a decisive role in the sound quality of the instrument and are the embodiment of the instrument.
The core indicator of whether the violin-making craftsmanship is exquisite.
Since the "Feasting Beast" in the Fanghui Temple was destroyed, the number of "worms" that have entered the world has increased. In addition, at Lavoisier's last supper before leaving, everyone also discussed "Worm"
Due to the influence of various mysterious factors regarding the "Disintegration Field", Roy dreamed of the fox lily field in the past, and discovered an abnormality in the f-hole of his famous piano, which was unexpected and reasonable.
Yes, in theory, it is possible for every famous piano to return to the Dreamland. With the main entrance to the Southern Continent being closely guarded by the Special Patrol Office, if you choose to enter the "Cracking Field" this way, it will indeed be possible.
It’s a strange move to “find a new way”.
But only "in theory".
These days, Hermosa tried her luck and tried to have her subordinates secretly investigate four famous pianos, maximizing the resources that the school could mobilize, but nothing was found.
Now we actually meet Roy here, which is considered a small probability event.
"Leave this road sign to me for safekeeping." Then Hermosa stretched out her hand, "What it points to is not an ordinary place, but is related to an ancient and mysterious organization called the 'Order of the Holy Injury', which contains unknown
The risk is that under normal circumstances, at this stage, you won’t be able to use it, just keep it for school research.”
"Oh, okay." Roy agreed happily, and looked at his piano with his lips curled, "This is such an evil thing, can I still use this piano?"
"It's not a big problem. If you feel abnormal, you can come to me at any time." Hermosa went downstairs after getting the sign.
Will his aunt really use this road sign? Roy clenched his fists and unclenched them, and sat down on the small hanging chair on the balcony of the bedroom, his eyes lingering on the pots of flowers with water drops for a long time.
This is not common sense at all! As relatives who have been together day and night since childhood, if there is a problem, when did the problem occur?
But the meaning of Bishop Lavoisier's last words is very clear.
If the road sign of the "Cracking Field" is really taken away by the other party, and if they really go in to search for any "residues of the meat sacrifice ceremony", then, according to the revelation of the secret of illumination, the fate of "a good thing" will come.
When you cash it in, you can prepare for the preparatory work to be promoted to "The Knower".
This means that it is very likely that some of the profound ones who have descended from the gods to learn "Evolution" will be killed!
"Previously, there was news in the school that the Special Inspection Office was negotiating with the Guidance School about the remains of the 'Incinerator', and on the other hand it also found people on our side. The remains of the 'Disaster' that they contained now seem to be
There have also been some problems. I hope that as an organization that has a certain connection with it, we can provide some relevant knowledge advice for a fee. This shows that the knowledge pollution of the remains of the Origin God is not something that even people like Pogorelic can cure."
"Is this related to the problem that happened to Aunt Hermosa? Is it related to the 'mysterious chord' technique that was mixed into the 'secret seminar'? I really don't know the inheritance of the two schools in the northern continent. Why
Could this be the secret knowledge of the Lord of Witnesses? Phew, but judging from what happened before in the Southern Continent, the Zhengshen Church may not be reliable. This is always the case in the mysterious side of the world."
Roy looked at the streets in the distance worriedly. How could he know that his "prospect for promotion" would be the "prospect for promotion" in such a situation?
She really wanted to talk to her father right now, but since everything was being done in accordance with Bishop Lavoisier's instructions, after much deliberation, she gave up the idea and prepared to wait until she heard further news.
Follow the prompts.
Alas, it’s only the fourth day since I returned to San Perto.
The Divine Advent Society has surfaced, the meat sacrifice incident has occurred in the South, the worm population in the world has increased, and the Special Patrol Office has become more and more erratic. Even while living in this art city full of flowers, the fragrance of coffee and melodious music, Luo Luo
Yi still feels that some uneasy factors are surging under the shadow of the world's surface.
The last "good night" message brought by the messenger stayed a week ago, temporarily.
Just as the priest's revelation said, let's wait for the day when he returns.
A time earlier than this day.
The southern continent, the former Misin city-state area, is a port controlled by the Janus Sun Army.
"Woo!——"
The silver-gray body of the ocean-going ship cut through the turbid sea, and slowly stopped at a position far away from the land, separated by a large puddle of mud, and lowered the gangway.
"It's too hot."
"It's always been like this in the south, but now it's even drier. The skin on my arms is starting to peel. You'll suffer even more when you go further inland."
"So, will it be cooler in the abnormal zone?"
There was no cloud in the sky, and the scorching sun was scorching this "painful land". There was almost no green in sight. Before leaving the cabin, everyone just held their sunhats in their hands and walked a few steps down the gangway.
After walking up the steps, they saw Bishop Lavoisier in front of him wearing a four-cornered hat, and they all put their hats on as well.
"Where was this in the original Misin?" Fan Ning turned his head and asked.
"Port of Baquerizo, Your Majesty Bishop." The soldier who came to meet him said respectfully.
Is this the place where I first met little girl Luna? Fan Ning nodded and looked around again.
He did not see the white sand beach, transparent sea water, black volcanic rocks and nearby coconut trees. Looking around, there were only endless wooden shelves set up by the army. Leather shoes creaked when stepping on them. Underneath, there was mud.
The water evaporated rapidly in the air, and was re-wetted by the foamy waves.
"Have you been here before?"
Bishop Toucqueville asked. He felt that Lavoisier's reaction seemed to be quite familiar with this place name.
"At that time, I was doing business with my ancestors and traveled to many places, but it was not often that I could appreciate it carefully. I missed many people and things in a flash." Fan Ning suppressed the thoughts in his heart and responded with a few words without comment.
The contrast between trees, beaches and buildings in my memory has been lost, and the shapes of mountains, rivers and ocean currents seem to be different from before.
Fan Ning walked about a kilometer further and reached a large open space of gravel with a sentry tower. After seeing the barracks, factories and busy construction sites further inside, he vaguely recalled that maybe this was the place where he was at that time.
square.
It was after Luna led her through several rows of palm trees to get here that she met "Guide" Masai Negou and Miss Nightingale's Chamber of Commerce family, and drank their first glass of cold water together after arriving in the South.
"Since we were satisfied at sea when we came here, let's take us along the ancient road along the west coastline to a place close to Tiya."
This is the road he once walked with the caravan, the road he sang "Winter Journey" along the way.
Under Fan Ning's instructions, everyone quickly boarded the airship arranged by the garrison and continued their journey day and night.
After leaving the original base of Baquerizo Port, Fan Ning looked down at the vast land below. Almost no one could be seen. After several hours, he saw an ore quarry that was obviously newly built later. Its gray-black steel
The base is like an isolated island across time and space in the rusty red dust and desert.
Since the Southern Dream dissipated, the geographical environment here has returned to the "Land of Suffering" in the chaotic principality era. Minerals and other dead things are like this, and the barren animals and plants seem to have seamlessly connected to a certain moment in the 4th century of the New Calendar.
Of course, in such a vast area, the total number of ownerless resources is still a figure that is extremely rich. The several forces currently enclosing the land are all established by the authorities in the form of a military-political integration and sent to the south.
The mainland carries out production, construction and conquest and development.
In the early stage, the energy was concentrated on the three major city-states, while other places were even more "vast and sparsely populated".
"Master Lavoisier, after arriving at the border of Tia, which entrance should we look for? Which route should we take?" Tucqueville asked.
"I have my own arrangements. You can rest for a day first. When one of the preparatory matters I have to handle is completed, I will officially send you."
"Okay." Tukweil immediately continued the arrangement and re-emphasized several key requirements. "You first need to inventory and confirm the materials needed for the investigation."
"Two extended models of Kent military vehicles, the seats have been modified, leaving only the front, passenger and rear guard seats. One is equipped with sufficient amounts of dried fruits and vegetables, food and drinking water, and the other is equipped with all necessary tools and supplies. In addition,
, we need a large-scale fuel transportation special vehicle with only the driver's and passenger's seats, equipped with as many oil barrels as possible, preferably with a total volume of more than 3 tons, and can be stacked boldly. We only need to consider space issues, and we will lay down prevention measures.
The 'Key' Phase Mystery of Electric Sparks and Accidental Explosion"
"OK."
"Do as the bishop says." The soldiers immediately took the order.
Another day later, in the original Tiya city-state area, the headquarters of Fanghui Temple was located.
There are thick layers of rust-red mist high in the sky, so deep that you can touch it. The undulating hilly lines of the fox lily field are still there, but in the saline soil and dry river beds, except for the growth of caltrops,
There are no bright colors except for the brown plants.
"What wave is this?"
"What the hell, maybe the twentieth time, maybe the thirtieth time?"
The original building had completely disappeared, leaving only a huge and shocking funnel-shaped bloody pit on the surface, surrounded by a large circle of seemingly simple and crude barbed wire. Directly above the bloody pit, a handful of pure violent airflow could be vaguely seen.
The scimitar is suspended there.
A group of soldiers with sweat on their faces and loaded with ammunition guarded the "main entrance", while several investigators sat in the hut nearby, puffing away and watching.
"I never thought that the brains of these southerners could be so bad. If the leader could find Scheler, a series of subsequent problems would have been solved long ago. How could it be our turn to bask in the sun all day long? Inspector General
You don’t have to be sad, we can go back to Tioline for vacation long ago.”
"Alas, they don't care about the remaining surviving 'Hua Touchers'?"
The two investigators who looked like team leaders looked at the banner held by the group of people in the distance with bilingual words such as "Hand over Scheele", shook their heads and sighed helplessly.
"Commanders of the Special Inspection Department, you just took over our ruins and detained Scheele in this deep pit and funnel, and you don't even dare to admit it?"
"If you don't have a conspiracy, why don't you dare to make a formal written explanation, but you are always here to prevaricate us people?"
"Don't do anyone's business!"
"You detained Master Scheler without authorization. This is a provocation to human art civilization, and you want to apologize to the people of the world!"
Immediately, several more people raised their loudspeakers and shouted from afar.
The leader, Officer Tioline, couldn't help it anymore. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out hard, and shouted in anger:
"You idiots! You are just idiots who have filled up the hill opposite and shouted that it collapsed. Scheler is not in there either. You have nothing to do when you are full!"
"No, why are you still swearing?"
"If Scheele is in there, you are sons of bitches! Do you dare to respond?" the demonstrators on the opposite side shouted loudly.
Moreover, several people jointly carried a large, mechanical radio-like thing on their shoulders.
It seems that he wants to "open the confrontation" and "expose his ugly face".
Another old investigator came and seemed to be numb to the scolding. He leaned on his seat and covered his forehead with his head raised to the sky.
This damn weather, this damn work, there's just a mouth full of sand when you open your mouth, no matter how good your temper is, one day it will burst out.
A young and energetic new investigator climbed up the guard tower in a few steps and yelled a few curse words in response. The old investigator immediately pulled him down.
"What do these ignorant people know? They know nothing."
The young investigator was dragged on, but he still responded to the other party unwilling to be outdone:
"Fuck! Don't deny it to anyone! Then if Sherer is not here, you are the son of a bitch!!"
At the same time, inside the "Cracking Field".
"Why does this place look different from Joan's description?"
"On the contrary, it is closer to the scene before when I first visited the Southland and woke up from the beach."
Fan Ning wore her white clothes open, hugging the "Illyrian" guitar that exuded a soft luster. Her blue eyes scanned the surroundings, and her long flowing hair moved automatically in the dream.
He looked like the troubadour Scheler.
He also just passed through the barbed wire fence surrounding the big funnel at the ruins of the original red church outside.
The guarding Tioline soldiers and Special Patrol Office investigators did not notice him, which was normal. However, even the secret ritual barrier that Pogorelic had set up with the "Blade" was completely ignored by him.
Fan Ning put on a slight disguise so that the ignorant could not detect it, and walked in as if nothing happened.
The last successor to the divine power of "Fanghui Poet", a person with unlimited access.
In this vast southern continent, there is no place that "Schele" cannot pass through.
Originally, while investigating St. Arternes Hospital, Joan accidentally recorded a road sign for "Cracking Field". In the message in her dream bedroom, she planned to let Fan Ning use this road sign to enter.
Who knew that Fan Ning was completely "free of charge", but this time he saved money and used it for other purposes.
"Previously, Qiong's description of this moving secret place was clearly 'full of bright and sharp things, which may be plant-like, or wire vines, constantly rotating, interlaced, and grinding, and there are many wells under the surface.
Same thing'"
The strange low sound of the wind echoed in his ears, as well as the restless sound of water rushing. Fan Ning's spirit body was suspended, still frowning and looking around cautiously, not leaving the original landing point for the time being.
Looking at this space, it is a twisted and strange cluster of rooms with a contradictory sense of openness and closure. They have no windows, only low vaults and corridors, and the surface is a tile grid with different heights like a swimming pool.
.
Moreover, everywhere is immersed in a certain height of dark red liquid. Through the accumulated liquid, you can vaguely see some valve-like things similar to "wellheads" in the middle of the tiles below.
The "meat sacrifice ceremony" subverted the entire southern continent, and may have also caused some drastic changes here. A few abstract features have been retained, but most of the concrete descriptions are no longer what they used to be.
Fan Ning did not use the inspiration thread to explore the dark red liquid under his feet for the time being.
Recalling the dream before waking up in Linnan, I was in a similar environment, and the dark red liquid gradually rose, trying to engulf me. Later, I sent a photo of the wreckage of the "Fountain in the Painting" on my mobile phone.
, after this containment object was activated, I was stimulated by my spirituality, and then I broke free.
The liquid immersed in various rooms is probably part of the red pool "pool core" that Pogorelic put into it to quench.
Now, the entire "Red Pond" wreckage has been contained by himself, and Fan Ning has not noticed the direct threat from them, but below the liquid surface and below the wellhead, there is always a terrifying feeling that something is sealed.
"So, after Qiong dragged 'Miss Scarlet' in together, where are the two of them now? This 'pool room group' seems to be many twists and turns, overlapping, extremely complex and huge."
While Fan Ning was thinking, he first focused on the dim walls outside the liquid surface.
Seems to have a lot of interesting heterogeneous colors and textures.
He was just about to go over and take a closer look when suddenly, a familiar low voice sounded, which seemed to come from the "pool room" next door to him——
"'The color of the double gate'? This is indeed the remnant left by the leakage of the true knowledge of the 'Mother of the Eyes'. Speeding up the search, the Divine Advent Society is also searching for the 'qualified person' who is suitable to replace his guarding position.
, don’t let them take the lead.”
Unexpectedly, before the fish he wanted to catch was caught, he met another acquaintance first? Fan Ning's spirit body immediately hovered again.
The owner of this voice was none other than Inspector Rudolf Homon, whom he had not seen since he left the Southern Continent!
