The priests blew their horns one after another, and the horn sounded from the lowest scale to the higher scale step by step. It is long, loud, and majestic. If it was played outside, Angel could even imagine the sound of a horn, which would startle a scene of birds and birds.
The trumpets of the priests sounded, and the selection of the choir began.
Delicate women in clean long dresses came on stage one by one, showing off their singing voices.
"Fairy 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 poets is not to listen to who has a good voice, but to find the "key" that can unlock the secret treasure.
In order to quickly lock the "key", the selection is made in groups of four, and each singer sings a piece of "Epic of the Goblin".
They came on stage in batches, and each singer's voice was beautiful. Angel and Shadow both held an appreciative attitude and listened to the sound of that day.
"Speaking of which, the lyrics of this "Goblin Epic" should describe some historical facts of the Kura Kuka tribe?" 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. The first verse 'The first brave man, with a sword in one hand, broke into the manor of flowers, and under the hope of the red-haired princess, picked the first rose that was stained with morning dew'. What does this record mean? In chronological order, this first aria should be a thousand years ago, right?" Angel asked curiously.
The High Priest's eyes were filled with a trance of reminiscing the past. After a while, he nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right, this episode is indeed a thousand years ago."
"The hero in "The Fairy Epic" is actually the Kura Kuka clan who has been beautified by the historian."
This Angel probably guessed that the hero at the beginning of the fourth paragraph, in fact, after careful scrutiny, it can basically be seen 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 their original history.
"My lord, have you ever thought about why Isabel-sama was willing to come and save us when our clan was about to go extinct a thousand years ago?"
Although the Kura Kuka people are talented in craftsmanship, they still belong to the mortal race. Would a legendary wizard be so kind to save the mortal race
Angel hesitated: "The Flower Manor recorded in the epic, the red-haired princess... refers to Lord Isabelle?"
The high priest nodded and said: "Yes, a real brave man appeared in my family thousands of years ago. He is my father. He accidentally broke into a wonderful manor of flowers and helped a trapped person. The trapped person is Lord Isabelle."
"Unfortunately, my father died in the Flower Manor. Lord Isabel found us with his relics, and left a snail horn, saying that we can blow the snail horn when we are in difficulty, and she will come." The high priest slowed down. Slowly, when talking about his father, a faint water light appeared in his cloudy eyes.
At this point in the story, Angel has a basic understanding. Isabel owed the high priest's father's favor. When the Kura Kuka people were persecuted to the point of near extinction, they blew the snail horn, and Isabel came as an appointment.
She saved the entire Kura Kuka clan, even if she brought this race to the Garden of Life and Soul and set up a magic energy array to hold the soul, but she still let go of the descendants of the brave man, and Granted him the power of near immortality, which is the truth of why the High Priest cannot die for a thousand years.
After the high priest's mood calmed down a little, Angel asked again.
"The second stanza of the hymn mentions the kingdom of the serpent. I heard people say that the kingdom of the serpent actually refers to Akso Sanya?"
When Angel's question fell, the shadow sitting on the side raised his brows. This was the second time he heard Angel talk about this question. The first time he asked Angel why he would care about the history of mortals, his answer was curiosity. But this second time, Angel mentioned the 'country of giant snakes' again. He didn't believe that Angel was curious. Maybe there is something strange in this
Shadow didn't speak at this time, just pricked up his ears and listened to their conversation.
The high priest was also a little surprised. Angel would be interested in the history of a thousand years ago, but he didn't think much, nodded and said, "Yes, the kingdom of giant snakes in the song really refers to Akso Shengya."
"Do you know why this country is named Axo Shengya?" Angel asked a question that made Shadow even more puzzled.
But unlike Shadow's confused face, when the high priest heard Angel's question, there was not much surprise on his face, but he said with a smile: "Sir, what you want to ask is actually 'Axo' right? Bar?"
Angel was stunned and nodded: "Its name is Akso, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is indeed Akso." The high priest heard the restraint in Angel's words, so his answer also followed Angel's attitude, and he didn't talk much.
This made Shadow a little dissatisfied, and he pushed Angel: "Ah? What are you talking about, what is Akso?"
The high priest smiled and said nothing.
Angel did not answer the shadow, but continued to ask: "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 his head to look at the shadow. He searched for a long time in Waterglass, but no one knew the details of Pocrates. I didn't expect the shadow to have heard of it
After a long while, the shadow said, "Pocrates seems to be a... city of Aksoshenya?"
The high priest waved his hand in denial and said, "Pocrates is the holy place for physicians and the place where Akso protects."
The words of the high priest basically confirmed what Angel was thinking. The giant snake named Akso was indeed just below Pocrates. Even if 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, except for the royal family of Akso Shengya, no one knows. However, I remember that when our family lived in Xipolak a thousand years ago, every time a doctor entered the office, he would take an oath in the southeast direction. , I heard that there is the direction of Pocrates."
Southeast... Angel recalled where he was when he left the water, and it seemed that it was indeed southeast of West Pollack.
When Angel asked here, 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. An attitude of never giving up if you don't answer.
Angel didn't plan to sell Akso's position. It was a wizard-level monster. If the official wizard knew, it would probably be eaten up in a few days. In fact, Akso could be considered a kindness for him to lead the way. In addition, he also received the benefits of Akso, as well as the blood essence of a whole coffin, how could he be so embarrassed to sell it.
However, Shadow is not a fool. He remembered that when he told Angel that "the country of the giant snake is called Axor Shengya", Angel once asked him, "What is the name of the giant snake?" At that time he I didn't answer it, and in the dialogue between Lenovo Angel and the high priest, it was easy to deduce the answer:
"Axor, is it actually the name of that giant snake?"
Angel didn't answer.
Shadow continued: "Do you care so much about Akso because you have seen Akso? Or, have you ever seen something related to Akso?"
Angel lowered his eyebrows. Shadow narrowed his eyes.
"You've seen Akso." Shadow suddenly became excited: "Akso isn't dead, isn't he? Where is it now? If it hasn't died in a thousand years, isn't it a wizard-level beast?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Angel said angrily.
Shadow smiled and didn't speak, but his eyes flashed with thought. Hearing what the high priest said, Akso seemed to be near "Pocrates"...
"You'd better not play Pocrates' idea." Angel saw through Shadow's careful thoughts at a glance, and frowned and warned: "There's not a place where you can go to Xiao!"
Shadow pretended to be "ignorant", not knowing what Angel was talking about.
Angel's expression was extremely solemn: "For the sake of our signing of the Khulna contract, I will remind you at last that you will only die if you go there, even if you become a wizard, even the wizard of the path of true knowledge will end up like this. ."
Pocrates is not a good place to be with, but it is the territory of colorful dragonflies. Angel still doesn't know why the colorful dragonflies build their nests there, but he has self-knowledge, and he is not qualified to explore with his strength, so he lived in Pocrates for so long without really going there. Take a look at the nest, but simply looking for an exit.
"All that said, if you really want to die, I won't stop you."
Angel's words were heavy, and 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 have a little thought in your heart, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
The conversation here is almost over, and the selection of the Sky Choir has also left a dozen groups.
But unfortunately, a person who can activate the disc did not appear.
"Isn't the sky choir selected every year? Can't we use the previous singers?" Seeing that there were fewer and fewer singers, Angel also frowned. According to the high priest, about 3% of women have bloodlines that can activate secret treasures. 3% is not a small amount, but it is not a lot either. But seeing this rhythm, it is very likely that nothing will be gained.
The high priest said: "No, activating the bloodline of the artifact is also one-time, you can only activate it once, and you can only continue the selection next time."
"One-time? After it has been activated once, does it affect the singer's body?"
"No, but because they joined the Sky Choir, their worth and status will rise." The high priest said.
While they were chatting, Angel glanced at the selection stage from the corner of his eye, and a new batch of singers had already appeared on the stage.
Among this group of singers, Angel saw a familiar figure.
Muya Village, Babaya.
