Main Text Volume Chapter 408 Selecting the Singer

The priests blew the horns one after another, and the sound of the horns went from the lowest scale to the high scale step by step. It was long, loud, and majestic. If it was played outside, Angel could even imagine the scene of the horns startling a flock of wild birds.

After the priests blew the horns, the selection of the choir began.

One by one, the delicate women in clean long skirts came on stage and showed their singing voices.

"Fairy Epic" is the stepping stone to the secret treasure, and the singers with special blood are the real keys to the secret treasure. In fact, the selection of singers is not to listen to who has a good voice, but to find the "key" that can open the secret treasure.

In order to quickly lock the "key", the selection is four people in a group, and each singer sings a passage of "Fairy Epic".

The voices of each singer who came on stage in batches were very beautiful. Angel and Shadow both listened to the echo of the heavenly sound with an appreciative attitude.

"Speaking of which, the lyrics of this "Fairy Epic" should record some historical facts of the Kurakuka tribe, right?" Angel asked the high priest.

The high priest nodded: "Yes, although some words have been adjusted for syllables, most of the things recorded in it are true."

"I roughly know the meaning of the second and third verses. What does the record of the first verse, 'The first brave man, holding a sword in one hand, broke into the manor full of flowers, and under the expectation of the red-haired princess, picked the first rose stained with morning dew' mean? If we follow the chronological order, this first verse should be a thousand years ago, right?" Angel asked curiously.

The high priest's eyes were a bit trance of reminiscing about the past, and after a long while, he nodded and said: "Your Excellency is right, this section is indeed a thousand years ago."

"The brave man in "Fairy Epic" is actually a member of the Kurakuka tribe who has been beautified by the historian."

Angel roughly guessed this. In fact, if you carefully examine the brave man at the beginning of the fourth verse, you can basically see that this is a fictional and beautified character. History is recorded by later generations. It is not surprising that the history books of almost all civilizations have traces of the Spring and Autumn style.

"Sir, have you ever thought about why Lady Isabel was willing to come and save us when our race was about to become extinct a thousand years ago?"

Although the Kulakuka tribe is very talented in craftsmanship, they are still mortals after all. Would a legendary wizard be so kind to save the mortals?

Angel hesitated and said, "The Flower Manor and the Red-haired Princess recorded in the epic... are you referring to Lady Isabel?"

The high priest nodded and said, "Yes, a thousand years ago, a true hero appeared in my tribe. He is my father. He accidentally broke into a wonderful Flower Manor and helped a trapped person. This trapped person is Lady Isabel."

"Unfortunately, my father died in the Flower Manor. Lady Isabel found us with his relics and left a conch shell, saying that we can blow the conch shell when we are in trouble, and she will come." The high priest said slowly. When he talked about his father, a faint light appeared in his turbid eyes.

At this point in the story, Angel basically understood the general idea. Isabel owed a favor to the high priest's father. When the Kulakuka tribe was persecuted by humans to the point of almost extinction, they blew the conch shell, and Isabel came as promised.

She saved the entire Kulakuka tribe. Even though she took this race to the Soul Garden and set up a magic array to absorb souls, she still let the descendant of the brave man go and gave him the ability of near immortality. This is the truth of why the high priest has not died for a thousand years.

After the high priest calmed down a little, Angel asked again.

"The second verse of the hymn mentioned the kingdom of giant snakes. I heard people say that the kingdom of giant snakes actually refers to Axol Saint Asia?"

When Angel finished asking the question, Shadow, who was sitting next to him, raised his eyebrows. This was the second time he heard Angel talk about this issue. The first time he asked Angel why he cared about the history of mortals, his answer was curiosity. But this second time, Angel mentioned this "kingdom of giant snakes" again, and he didn't believe that Angel was curious. Maybe there was something strange in it?

Shadow didn't say anything at this time, but just pricked up his ears and listened to their conversation.

The high priest was also a little surprised that Angel would be interested in the history of a thousand years ago, but he didn't think much about it and nodded: "Yes, the giant snake kingdom in the hymn does refer to Axo 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, the high priest didn't look too surprised after hearing Angel's question, but smiled and said: "My lord, what you want to ask is actually 'Axo', right?"

Angel was stunned and nodded: "Its name is Axo, right?"

"Yes, it is indeed Axo." The high priest heard the restraint in Angel's words, so his answer also followed Angel's attitude and didn't talk much.

This made Shadow a little dissatisfied, he pushed Angel: "What? What are you doing in sign language, what is Axo?"

The high priest smiled but didn't say anything.

Angel did not answer Shadow, but continued to ask: "Have you heard of Pocrates?"

This question made the high priest stunned. Shadow on the other side also frowned: "Pocrates, eh, I seem to have heard of this name?"

Angel turned to look at Shadow. He had been searching in Waterglass for a long time, but no one knew the details of Pocrates. Unexpectedly, Shadow had heard of it?

Shadow waited for a while and then said: "Pocrates seems to be a... city in Akso Sanya?"

The high priest waved his hand and said in denial: "Pocrates is the holy land of doctors and the place protected by Axl."

The words of the high priest basically confirmed what Angel was thinking. The giant snake named Akso is indeed under Pocrates. Even though Pocrates has been destroyed, it still silently guards the last survivor.

"Then do you know where Pocrates is?"

The high priest shook his head: "I don't know. No one knows except the royal family of Akso Shengya. However, I remember that when our family lived in Xipolak thousands of years ago, every time a doctor took an oath before joining the job, he would swear an oath toward the southeast. , I heard that that’s the direction of Pocrates.”

Southeast... Angel recalled his location when he left the water, and it seemed that it was indeed southeast of Sipolak.

When Angel asked this, he stopped asking. Because Shadow suddenly tilted his head and faced him with a curious expression. No matter which direction Angel turned his head, he immediately followed. With an attitude that if you don’t answer, you won’t give up.

Angel had no intention of selling out Axl's location. It was a wizard-level monster. If an official wizard knew about it, it would probably be eaten away in a few days. Axl was actually kind to him in leading the way. In addition, he also accepted Axl's benefits and a whole coffin of blood. How could he have the nerve to betray it.

But Shadow is not a fool. He remembers that when he told Angel that "the country of the giant snake is called Akso Shengya," Angel once asked him: "What is the name of the giant snake?" At that time, he I didn’t get the answer. Thinking about the conversation between Angel and the high priest, I can easily deduce the answer:

"Axo, is that actually the name of the giant snake, right?"

Angel didn't answer.

Shadow continued: "Is it because you are so concerned about Axl because you have met Axl? Or have you seen something related to Axl before?"

Angel lowered his eyebrows. Shadow narrowed his eyes.

"You have seen Axl." Shadow suddenly became excited: "Axl is not dead, right? Where is it now? If it has not died for a thousand years, wouldn't it be a wizard-level monster?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Angel said angrily.

Shadow smiled and said nothing, but thoughts flashed across his eyes. From what the high priest said, Axl seemed to be near "Pocrates"...

"You'd better not go after Pocrates." Angel saw through Shadow's little thoughts at a glance, and warned with a frown: "That's not a place you can go to!"

Shadow pretended to be "ignorant" and didn't know what Angel was talking about.

Angel's expression was extremely solemn: "For the sake of the Khulna Contract we signed, I would like to remind you one last thing. You will only die if you go there. Even if you become a wizard, even wizards on the path of true knowledge will suffer the same fate. ”

Pocrates is not an easy place to get along with, it is the territory of colorful dragonflies. Angel still doesn't know why the colorful dragonflies build their nests there, but he knows himself and is not qualified to explore further due to his strength. That's why he has lived in Pocrates for so long without actually going there. Take a look at the nest, but simply look for the exit.

"That's all, if you really want to commit suicide, I won't stop you."

Angel's words were serious, and Shadow was stunned for a moment. 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 more than a dozen batches of people have gone through the selection process for the Sky Choir.

But unfortunately, no one who could activate the disk appeared.

"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 the bloodline that can activate secret treasures. 3% is not too little, but it is not too much either. But looking at this rhythm, it is very likely that nothing will be gained.

The high priest said: "No, activating the bloodline of the secret treasure is also one-time. You can only activate it once, and you can only continue the selection next time."

"One-time use? After it has been activated once, will it have any effect on the singer's body?"

"No, on the contrary, because they join the Sky Choir, their status will rise." The high priest said.

While they were chatting, Angel glanced at the selection stage with his peripheral vision. A new batch of singers had already appeared on the stage.

Among this group of singers, Angel saw a familiar figure.

Muya Village, Babaya.
