"I heard something." "Future"'s young and refreshing voice came out of his throat that smelled faintly of rust at an inappropriate time.
Hearing the sound, "Wind Mine" glanced at "Future" worriedly.
If you are smart enough, as a lost person, especially the "leader" of the "Order Society", you can maintain absolute cooperation and obedience in the current situation in such an occasion that is enough to satisfy the vanity of the town administrator. , conflicting with him in an occasion dominated by Moren will not bring any good results.
However, what pleased him was that Molun did not express any dissatisfaction openly, but instead smiled generously and made a gesture of invitation.
After a slight pause, "Future" said directly:
"The entire series of Elysian songs comes from the dream of a Basileus of the Central Empire. In the descendants of the royal family of Etuman and the Central Empire, the king Mamet I, known as the "Lion", replaced Basileus IV. Before the throne, "Basileus" was a transliteration of the Holy Rum language, meaning "Emperor".
"Later, as the era of "The Sun Never Sets" in Ptoia began, the new dynasty of the central empire simply used the Ptoia word "Emperor" as its official and most formal title. Is this general historical knowledge correct, Mr. Mollen? "
"Yes, it's quite accurate." Morun nodded in approval.
"Then I will continue the introduction." "Future" said with an inexplicable and dangerous confidence:
"This Basileus, the emperor, once had a terrible dream. In the dream, the entire empire was besieged by barbarian soldiers, and Constantinople, the capital that had been in operation for thousands of years, was bombarded by aerial bombs and missiles in turns. Under the pouring, it turned into burning scorched earth and ruins.
"He called himself Constantine and was called the Sixteenth, as famous as the founder of this city. After the disaster in the dream, he followed the divine messengers from the universe and followed thousands of people to flee to the endless west. Beyond the ocean, there is a continent that is said to have been built by the gods of the past and the remnants of the dragon clan.
"Here, he seemed to be a pioneer, using the remaining resources and technology to finally build a greater empire and named it the "Elysian Empire." The purple robe was wrapped around his body as a holy silk satin for coronation. Like Caesar, the great emperor of the central empire in the middle and late second era, he enjoyed the feeling of ruling the world for a brief period of less than fifteen minutes.
"I know." "Future" paused for a few seconds, pressed his hands on the white tablecloth, stood up, walked to Mo Lun, and continued to speak with dangerous excitement:
"There are many different versions of this story, and each country or person will adapt it according to their own needs. Just like the crown prince Yin Fante of the southern country, he once changed the background of the story to before the steam era, but In any case, this story spread through the mouth of Constantine XVI, inspiring a court musician who was unknown at the time, and made him use up all his strength to create this series of songs that can be regarded as classics. Collection of music.
"It is rumored that after he finished composing the score of "Starry Sky", the last song in the "Elysian" series, he stayed in his room for a week. When his assistant broke in, they only found the body of the court musician The entire surface was covered with a layer of scales as hard as demons. The upper body, especially the head, turned into a rock shape like the moon surface seen through a telescope, while the lower body vaguely revealed internal tissue like bark.
"Except for the viscous red liquid that flows out from time to time, with a rotten, sour, dilapidated, and disgusting smell, he no longer has any characteristics similar to human beings. His room was also destroyed in the mutation. Covered by a thick layer of metal, it turned into a tomb filled with strange things. It was damp and dark, and even emitted terrifying unknown spores.
"It is rumored that he sacrificed his soul to the old gods, maybe Dipsel, maybe Cthulhu, in order to obtain one thousandth of the inspiration to touch the deep mysteries of the universe. Or maybe, he accepted the slave of the distant Creator He sacrificed all his spirit and body according to the order, completely gave up the possibility of returning to normal, and left behind a poem that could be praised for eternity. But no matter what, the "Elysian" series of music is great and supreme! "
"Future" roared, looking up at the top of the hall, as if the crystal chandelier was the supreme
The sun above or the stars under the jurisdiction of the Creator cross their hands and make fists above their heads in a gesture of extreme praise.
But the people present seemed to be watching a clown who was not good at his business. The whole place was silent and extremely calm.
Feeling embarrassed, "Mirai" just smiled, said sorry, and walked back to his seat.
After coughing twice, Mollen pursed his lips, directed Bethoven to the stage, sat in front of and behind the piano, and then said with the momentum and tone of a leader:
"'Future' is basically right. His knowledge base is indeed extensive. In fact, the "Elysian" series of music is divided into "Fall," "Salvation," "Reconstruction," "Greatness," "Wandering," "Science Fiction," "Dreamland," "Reality," "Future" and "Starry Sky" "Ten articles. Due to the lack of information, the meaning and background of most of the chapters are very vague, but in fact, the extraordinary power of the music can often be triggered by the careful playing of people with supernatural powers who have mastered the power of magic.
"Yin Fante discovered that the "Dream" chapter can open up the possibility of misty illusions, and the "Starry Sky" chapter will cleanse your and my dirty souls, expel some of the "sadness" that has long been rooted in the depths of our thinking, and keep us away. Collapse step.
"Just in time, in another week, the residents here will carry out the ritual of "praying to the wind" to celebrate the "Wind Spring Festival" that belongs here. I think it would be best to bid farewell to the long, dark, and cold winter with the "Starry Sky" chapter and welcome the dawn of recovery. "
As soon as Mollen finished speaking, the lights in the hall were collectively turned off according to a preset pattern, leaving only a few candles flickering with faint sparks like fireflies, arranged around Beethoven and his piano.
Immediately afterwards, the music starts.
At first, the sound was very soft, with only individual notes monotonously lost in a dark world like lost elves. But soon, as "elves" began to be mass-produced by pianos, more and more complex music began to intersect.
As the music rhythm changed from monotonous to complex, and then from complex back to monotonous, "Feng Mine" and "Future" were surprised to find that the dim candlelight in front of them turned into lonely stars.
They exude extremely weak silver light spots, gradually multiply and replicate, and turn into a river rushing through the long night.
Then, they felt as if they were falling into a gorgeous high-speed tunnel, where countless lights reflected each other, reflecting the past, future and the vast universe.
After a few seconds, the extreme falling feeling ended, and a piece of land that seemed to be suspended in the sky appeared in front of them.
"Is this an illusion?" "Wind Mine" shook his head, trying to find the disharmony in this psychedelic state. However, the changing pictures pulled his will and his attention was quickly diverted.
Two stone pillars quickly rose on the illusory continent ahead. Their surfaces were covered with moss and black soil, as if they had stood here for thousands of years. The corroded bodies were engraved with words that might be the Fire Empire, as well as words related to the flames and the dragon clan. Related totems.
His body "moved forward" involuntarily, Feng Kuang saw a huge door that was a hundred meters high and painted with peeling red paint. Looking up, a majestic castle that mixed the architectural styles of various countries in the continent appeared in front of him.
As the music of "Starry Sky" reached its final climax, "Wind Mine" discovered with a dull "squeaking" sound that the giant door had cracked open with a red glow oozing out. Just when he was about to reach out and touch it, he walked into it. At that moment, the music stopped abruptly, the lights were turned back on, and everything returned to its original appearance.
When "Wind Mine" slapped his head hard, trying to dispel the unreal hazy feeling and sudden powerlessness brought by the music, he was surprised to find that at some point, "Future" had been tied up and held down by Molun's backhand. On the ground, struggling helplessly.
"Mr. Moran, what does this mean?" "Wind Mine" stepped forward and asked.
"'Future' has committed an act of betrayal to the Federation, and he has been arrested in accordance with the Federal Military Law. "Molun put his foot on the back of "Future" whose hands were tied behind his back, stood up and said calmly.
"Mr. Moran, you need evidence to accuse betrayal." "Wind Mine" said in a particularly low voice, with a gloomy warning in his tone, like a madman about to attack.
Violent beast.
"You haven't seen this "sequencing card" before, right? "Mo Lun said, winking at the people around him.
As the dark-style, slightly heavy card was put into the palm of his hand, "Wind Mine" noticed that, except for the two "Hunters", all the people around him had turned into fully dressed, with their faces covered, and all Armed, weapon-bearing Union soldiers.
Looking at the all-too-familiar "Magic Card" in his hand, "Wind Mine" felt dizzy and deeply helpless. The wide-open eyeballs covered in tentacles on the card seemed to be mocking his situation.
After pretending to look through it for a few seconds, "Wind Mine" quickly stabilized his mentality. He threw the "Magic Card" back to Morun and argued:
"One card can't explain anything. The value of this kind of sequential monster is not high. Even if there are twelve of them, they are only A-level."
"But this is evidence that "Future" is trying to subvert Lord Vasily and the Crusted Federation. I think "Future" not only deceived the Society of Order, but also deceived you, his close brother. He opposed the search for the "Universal Energy Evolution Platform" from the beginning, and tried to destroy the "Evolution Platform" that was about to be found by summoning more powerful sequence monsters. "Mo Lun said in a stern tone:
"He performed some kind of illegal ritual in the federal "Beidou District" and also tried to threaten my close friends Wulfya and Dark. I thought that if the two of them had done anything uncooperative at that time, they would have been killed immediately and silenced. This sequential monster "Magic Card: Prayer" is nothing more than compensation similar to hush money. If you think the evidence is not enough, then how do you explain this "fusion alien" and the "eternally cold heart" in his body? "
With that said, the heavily armed federal soldiers carried the unconscious and sturdy "Heartless Man" and "Metamorphosis" and threw them in front of "Wind Mine" and "Future".
Seeing this situation, "Future" excitedly tried to defend or curse something, but before he could say anything, Morun stepped on his face and pressed it down hard. He only made a low, angry "Uh-huh" sound.
Seeing "Future" being brutally treated, "Wind Mine" tried to surge the wind magic power in his body, trying to fight Morun.
However, a sense of exhaustion and powerlessness suddenly spread throughout his body. Not only was the magic source power unable to condense at all, but the sudden fainting almost made him unsteady. He had to weakly hold on to the edge of the long square table to prevent himself from falling in humiliation. .
At the same time, he noticed through the corner of his eye that the surrounding federal soldiers were all carrying "Sunflower" rocket launchers with huge "barrels". The cannon shells set off by the double-headed eagle pattern were once one of the products of the peak technology of the old empire. one.
Not to mention whether he was infused with destructive magic power, just from the smell of coke that gradually spread, "Wind Mine" realized that he might not be able to survive for more than a day under the gorgeous sparks and bright patterns outlined after the cannonball was fired. Second.
