"The 'elements' contained in it are different, and the ability and effect of the scepter will naturally be different."
Wolf Flute explained: "For example, if the element of divine punishment is used to create a legend, then the scepter will be biased toward punishment. If it is based on holy lines and redemption, then it will be biased towards redemption. The change faction likes creation and destruction, The Apocalypse School tends towards knowledge and insight... Each faction relies on different things. Of course, the elements are also divided into three levels. It is the elements that determine the quality of the scepter. The reason why the Holy City is powerful is because of the elements contained in the Holy Scriptures. There are many elements, but the divisions are clear and the effects are obvious. More importantly, there are so many believers that there is no need to bother spreading them. Therefore, the difficulty of advancing with this method will be relatively low. I don’t know how many musicians have relied on the legends in the holy scriptures throughout the ages. Advanced scepter. Even the original Twelve Saints were inspired by the Holy Scriptures to create their own 'Gospel'."
Ye Qingxuan looked at the huge matrix in front of him and nodded after a long time: "It seems that Master Samuel has also found his own elements from the Holy Scriptures, right?"
"That's right."
Wolf Flute nodded, looked at the core of the matrix, the huge and complex praise movement, and sighed:
"-Bloodlines."
"This is the legend Master Samuel wanted to create."
"The Chapter of Sinners from the Holy Scriptures contains middle elements such as blood and inheritance, with the upper element 'life' as the core. He imitated the life form of the moon spirit, designed a brand new race, and prepared to turn it into a legend for reality.”
"If he succeeds in advancing, he will become the first vampire in history, the ancestor of the 'blood musician'. As long as his blood is used as a medium, future musicians can be transformed into blood musicians like him .”
Having said this, Ye Qingxuan immediately looked at Langdi with curious eyes.
"What about you?" he asked, "What are the elements of your legend?"
"Me? I'm just fooling around."
Wolf Flute scratched his head in embarrassment: "My legendary element is just a wolf in the beast branch. It can barely be regarded as a fantasy beast species, but it can only be rated as a lower element. It is the most watery kind among the scepters. It’s easy to achieve, but hard to get promoted.”
“…”
Lang Di didn't care and just patted him on the shoulder: "I know my own affairs well. I'm just going to be a scepter. I'll have food to eat in the future. You don't have to worry about me. By the way, do you want to Come and consider my advancement? Wild Wolf Musician! It sounds awesome..."
Ye Qingxuan looked away with regret and stopped talking.
…
There is an old saying that goes, "Everything comes when it comes."
Now that it's here, so at least take a closer look at such a rare opportunity. However, after he studied the matrix for a long time, he couldn't help but frown.
"This Master Samuel... is a bloodist?"
"That's right."
Wolf Flute nodded, "Old Mr. Samuel is a well-known pure-blood noble. Have you heard of it?"
Ye Qingxuan said lightly, "I can see it."
"Huh?" Lang Di raised his eyebrows: "Although I know that you are from the Revelation School, you have already finished deciphering such a large alchemy matrix in just a few minutes?"
"What the interpretation method is good at is to find the core music theory as quickly as possible. There is no need to pay attention to the minutiae. What's more..." Ye Qingxuan paused for a moment, and his expression became weird: "I also know a little bit about alchemy. ."
As he spoke, he walked around the alchemy matrix:
"Any alchemy must follow four stages, activity, formation, creation, outflow... These are the four forms of ether, and it is also the process of matter being born from the great source and being given a form. As above, as below. , so that all things begin to be obtained. If you follow this rule, you can understand the operating principle of the alchemical matrix."
His footsteps paused and he pointed to the area in front: "Look, here, the 'initial blood' of the source point represents the blood of Master Samuel after combining the legendary elements. Then use it as a carrier to obtain blood. People can follow the ritual and transform themselves into blood musicians, possessing the unique expertise and abilities of this advanced level. Let's call them 'second generation'. Second-generation musicians can also pass on their blood to other musicians, creating The third generation... The relationship between this school has been inherited in the form of a family from the very beginning, so they will definitely be united in a family form to ensure the centripetal force of the members of the school."
"Sounds good."
Langdi nodded in agreement, "Maybe Master Samuel doesn't want his students to compete cruelly like other colleges. Just like the blood of heaven and man, everyone sits together and shares it like a family..."
"Is it possible?"
Ye Qingxuan smiled, with a strange expression: "Wolf Flute, there is indeed no competition in this system, there is only one-sided plunder. Besides, the blood of heaven and man inherits music theory, not the laws and oaths of the forbidden school..."
He lowered his head and stared at the alchemy matrix. In the matrix, what was engraved under the bloody notes were layers of complex music theory - the strict and forbidden music theory formed an irresistible contract.
Once implanted, there is no room for return.
This is a poisonous apple, but it looks delicious, but it’s hard to describe how you feel after eating it.
"The superior's control over the younger generations is absolute. All the power and music theory of the blood musician are placed in the original blood inherited by him. Whether he has power depends only on the thought of the superior."
Ye Qingxuan murmured softly, "The person who likes this kind of rule the most is a tyrant."
Perhaps Master Samuel desires power more than ether.
Wolf Flute looked at him with a strange expression and patted his shoulder.
Behind Ye Qingxuan, a slight cough sounded.
"what are you guys saying?"
Someone came forward slowly.
The man who seemed to be middle-aged didn't look old, but his hair was gray. He was slightly lame when he walked, and he was holding a cane in his hand.
Wolf Flute straightened his body respectfully and saluted: "Mr. Handel."
Ye Qingxuan was stunned, looking at the lame man who seemed to be suffering from premature aging in astonishment, his expression became awed and serious, and he saluted immediately after him.
Handel.
There is only one person in the Holy City who is qualified to call this name.
Over there is the pinnacle of all musicians in the world, the scepter musician, one of the twelve saints, a strong man who has been awarded the holy name "Handel". The musician is ninety-four years old this year, and still looks like a middle-aged man, full of energy, with a majestic face and harsh eyes.
Few people know that this reclusive saint is also one of the actual controllers of the Silent Agency. Hated by black musicians all over the world.
Handel glanced at Ye Qingxuan, his expression still indifferent, and looked at Langdi:
"Is he Ye Qingxuan?"
Langdi nodded, and then frowned: "Sure enough, he is so frivolous and even more annoying than the rumors say."
Ye Qingxuan was stunned, raised his head in astonishment, and opened his mouth to speak.
"Hey, Mr. Handel, are you trying to scare young people with a straight face again?"
From the diagonal stab, a hand stretched out and blocked Handel's shoulder. The hand was still stained with food oil, well-maintained, white and plump.
There is a ring of lapis lazuli and amber on the index finger. What emerges in the amber is a dark emblem of two entangled snakes.
—Hermes.
"Don't scare my children. Young people need more encouragement."
Hermes patted him on the shoulder and said, pulling Ye Qingxuan aside without any refusal: "I'll go talk to him first, and you can take your time. He will be working for you these two days, so remember not to wear small shoes for him. Son."
With a confused look on his face, Ye Qingxuan was dragged to the second floor of the central church by Hermes. In the lounge, he didn't react until he sat on the sofa, while Hermes opposite had already started eating his second breakfast. .
"Would you like some?"
Hermes generously raised a bottle of red wine: "The benefits of the Holy Resurrection Church are great. Even the red wine for the Holy Communion is rare and good."
"… no."
Ye Qingxuan leaned back a little: "Boss, eat slowly."
"How did you get into Handel's petty ways?"
Hermes asked while eating: "That guy has a grudge. Is it because you brushed off his nephew in the Romulus trial? Or is it because you said bad things about his junior brother Samuel? Or is it because you said bad things about his junior brother Samuel? You say, it’s because Handel has been hooking up with Monk Yishin of the Holy See recently. I don’t know?”
“…”
Ye Qingxuan was speechless: You have already said it, what do you want me to say
"Boss, why are you in the Holy City?" he asked.
"I have been traveling in the Holy City recently. There are still some industries here that need to be taken care of. If you have no food to eat, you can come to work in my shop."
As he spoke, Hermes took out a business card from his arms. The oil-stained business card seemed familiar, but Ye Qingxuan really had no interest in antique shops, so he just put it in his pocket casually.
"Oh, right."
Hermes patted his head: "I heard that you have advanced to resonance, but I still don't believe it. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and able to break the barrier of knowledge... But I didn't expect that you have already interfered? Oops, still I haven’t prepared a gift for you..."
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
"What do you want?" Hermes wiped his mouth and said with a beaming expression, "Anything is fine. It will be winter soon, so I will be my boss and give you year-end benefits!"
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
"Well, how about the boss give you a few more pocket watches?" Hermes blinked: "That way you can say next year, I bought them last year..."
"boss."
Ye Qingxuan interrupted him, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I just want to know what happened to Romulus..."
Hermes stopped laughing.
He straightened up, put down the red wine in his hand, and looked at Ye Qingxuan. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "The curiosity of young people is really strong, which is enviable."
Ye Qingxuan looked at him without saying a word, waiting for a reply.
After a long silence, Hermes shook his head in embarrassment: "Just think of it as: many years ago, I owed the Romulans a sum of money, so I sent you to help me pay off the debt. Thank you for doing so much for me. "
Ye Qingxuan shook his head, "This is not what I want."
"I know."
Hermes patted him on the shoulder: "Come to my store when you have time, and I will make it up to you. Remember to come as early as possible. If it's too late, you might not be able to catch up."
"Does Bai Xi know you are here?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
"...She doesn't know yet. She probably thinks I'm sunbathing on some beach?" Hermes smiled and looked at him: "You know?"
"Avalon is so big. A girl with white hair is very conspicuous. What's more, Bai Xi is not very smart and can't hide it well."
Ye Qingxuan's eyes were lowered: "After I came out, I didn't have a good chat with her. When I wanted to talk to her, she didn't want to talk to me anymore. How is she doing recently?"
"She has grown up, Ye Qingxuan."
Hermes shook his head: "Girls mature very early. She is already very strong. She can live well even if no one protects her. You can rest assured."
"maybe."
Ye Qingxuan sighed and looked up at Hermes: "There is a question I have always wanted to ask."
"Boss, who are you?"
