Chapter 506: The Teachings of the Songstress Idria
Golden Flame Flower Academy
The towering aerial building, the golden rose representing the legendary singer, slowly rotates in the air, with delicate golden filaments winding and flowing with glittering brilliance. When the sun falls on it, it deflects a dazzling halo.
A beautiful dark blue shuttle enters the atmosphere from the starport outside the planet, leaving a long red mark, and then slowly descends and lands on the apron inside the Golden Flame Flower Academy.
The hatch opened, and the attendants dressed in dark blue and golden silk came out one by one. Then they stood on both sides and laid a blue velvet carpet on the ground. After cleaning the surrounding environment and doing a good job of security, a woman dressed elegantly and decently slowly walked out under the welcome eyes of the school teachers and senior management.
Her long golden hair was woven into layers of rings behind her head, and then hung down a little by the side of her ear, revealing the blue peacock gem earrings on her earlobes. The ultramarine long skirt was particularly eye-catching and pure in the surrounding environment, like smoke and ink floating in the water.
"Welcome to Madam Idria."
The teachers and senior management of the school who were present all bowed and saluted to welcome the arrival of this long-famous singer.
"No need to be so polite." She nodded slightly and spoke slowly.
After that, she walked towards the crowd, and then the school staff present followed.
Half an hour later, in the reception conference hall in the central building of the Golden Flame Flower.
There were only three people in the huge conference hall at the moment, one of whom was Idria in a long ultramarine dress, one was the vice principal, and the other was a master tutor of the school.
"I wonder why Madam Idria came here this time?" The old man who was the vice principal asked carefully.
"It's normal that you are not used to it because you came so suddenly this time." She drank the tea in front of her and spoke slowly.
As a singer, she is of a high generation, and because of the longevity of the elves, she is also older than the two people present, and completely crushes them in terms of qualifications, so both of them feel quite pressured.
"You all know that I'm not young anymore."
"Madam, why should you be so modest? As an elf, you are still in your prime."
"Okay, let's not say such compliments. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You have become slick. I remember that you were not like this when you were young. You were very impulsive at that time." Idlia shook her head slowly.
"I was too reckless at that time, eh hehe." The vice principal stroked his beard, shook his head and laughed.
"I came here this time to see what the young girls are like. They have been in school for more than half a year. The four singers in this class are much more lively than when we were young." Idlia recalled the past.
"The young children are all very good. Among them, Blanche is a little immature. After all, she has only been exposed to things related to singers for a short time. The other three have their own focuses and characteristics."
"Well, I have heard a little about it. Among them, Orles grew up under my watch." Idlia said.
"However, now they are in college after all, and they can't be as indulgent as they were when they were young. They will soon be exposed to the real things of the singers, master their own teams, and gradually influence those who recognize and follow them."
"The influence of singers on people is huge. If there is a problem with them, it is not just one bad person, but billions and tens of billions of residents. I am not exaggerating. Singers do have this destructive power."
"What Madam Idria said is that our school has always been committed to cultivating the good character and values of singers, allowing them to experience step by step from the bottom up, first understand and understand ordinary people, then contact the middle class of society, and finally look at problems from the perspective of the upper class." The vice president explained.
"Well, I also experienced this back then, and I have always recognized the school's teaching philosophy." Idria responded simply.
"It happened that there were many singers in these two sessions, nearly six in total, and I heard that other older singers could not spare time to guide them, so I came to assist and guide them."
"This really solved a great problem for the school. I and the teachers at school are very grateful." The vice president hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"In fact, we had arranged for Lady Ewen Qilin to teach them, but unfortunately, because of things in her hometown, she had to leave some time ago." The vice principal was quite regretful.
If we make a ranking list for the current singers, although Ewen Qilin is not the one with the greatest influence in fame, her strength and talent are undoubtedly the top of all the singers, but her personality drags her down.
"Ewen Qilin, ah..."
Idria naturally knew this junior. After her generation of singers gradually retreated to the second line, Ewen Qilin was regarded as the greatest hope of the Federation and the one who could enter the Sunday-level singer, but unfortunately, she could not break through that level and later she was in a semi-retired state.
"Let's talk about this today. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you can arrange a time, and I will officially meet them."
"Yes, Madam Idria." The two people present said that it was no problem, and then the three of them dispersed.
...
The next day, Tilan went to work at the pet hospital as usual, sitting in the store to answer questions for customers and analyze the animal companions they brought.
In the afternoon, she went to meet Alana again and stayed with them for the whole afternoon. There was no activity today, but they just discussed the future plans and sorted out the list of people who could be called.
Not long after returning to the school mansion in the evening, Odney came to visit.
She wore a long dress of snow-white silver silk, with flowing ribbons on the sides of the open sleeves. It was both oriental and exquisite and light. This was a dress she had asked a famous designer to improve.
Sitting at the dining table, Odney casually placed her arm horizontally on the table, raised her other hand, revealing her snow-white wrist, and talked to Tilan opposite about the news she had heard recently.
"Do you know, Tilan, we will have class together tomorrow."
"Alas, Odney is in the second grade, right?" Tilan thought.
"Of course, but this time it is a course related to singing girls, and the one who comes to teach is also an elder singing girl. We have to learn what she teaches, and there is no need to subdivide the grades."
"Which senior is it?" Tilan thought of Ewen Qilin, hoping it was her.
"It's Senior Idria, the 'Ultramarine Dyeing Painting'." Odney replied.
"That person, I seem to have met her once." Tilan remembered that she had met her once at Orles when she first came to school half a year ago.
"Yes, it was last year, but she was just passing by to see Orles."
As elves, Idria and Orles have a distant blood relationship. This is also the reason why the elf families intermarry with each other, and they are more or less related.
"Odni doesn't seem very happy." Tilan felt that Odni didn't come here to announce good news today.
"No, how can I explain this to you?" Odni bit her lip lightly.
"Actually, I'm a little afraid of Senior Idria."
"I used to see Senior Idria from a distance once in Feiyu Star Region. She was giving a speech at that time. That kind of momentum and state was like a mountain slowly pressing down, making people dare not speak loudly, and it was particularly heavy."
"Is it so serious?" Tilan tilted her head, a little surprised.
"I think the singing girls should be moved by emotions. Such heavy words..." She thought that this would deviate from the original intention.
"Although I don't like it, many of the older generation at the scene recognize her." Odni recalled.
"It's hard to say the reason. Maybe in their eyes, such a singer is mature and stable, and we are just like children."
Then the two chatted a lot, and then Tilan and Odney had dinner together, and then Odney went back. The mansion she lived in was not far from here.
The third day, morning.
After finishing the regular classes, it was already 10 o'clock.
"Goodbye, Tilan~"
"Lady Orles, we're leaving first."
"Yanqing, come to the concert hall in the afternoon."
"I'll go."
"Okay, everyone will wait for you~"
Tilan and the other four said goodbye to the other classmates, and then walked to the other side of the corridor to the classroom dedicated to singers.
"It will be Idria's class later."
"Orles has studied with Idria before, what was it like?"
"Well, Idria was also busy at the time, so she just taught me for two days, but didn't go into depth." Orles recalled her childhood.
"I was still in junior high school at that time, and I had only a very shallow understanding of what I was exposed to."
"You'll know when you meet later, don't keep asking me." She refused in a slightly coquettish manner. Now she was more and more relaxed in front of the three people. She didn't care much about the elegant princess persona she had maintained before.
"Okay, I knew you couldn't count on me." Shui Yanqing complained crisply while holding a textbook.
"Shui Yanqing." Orles called out her name.
"What's wrong, do you want to confess to me?" Shui Yanqing rolled up her hair.
"Hmph." Orles didn't continue, just took Tilan's hand and walked aside, indicating that she didn't want to argue with a child like Shui Yanqing.
Tilan and Blanche had long been accustomed to the occasional quarrels between the two. The four of them continued talking soon, as if the quarrel just now didn't exist at all.
"I'm still a little nervous." Blanche said.
"As for the senior, I heard that he is a bit strict. I don't know anything yet." Blanche touched her fingers.
"It's okay, she knows your situation, and she can't be too harsh on you." Shui Yanqing comforted.
"Senior Idria is not as scary as you say." Orlesi helped to enlighten her.
"We are all together, it's okay." Tilan also comforted her.
In this way, the four of them chatted about Idria and came to the building in the center of the school.
After entering the twelfth floor, the door in front of the four people slowly opened, and then what came into view was the empty music hall that occupied the entire floor. There were probably tens of thousands of people sitting here. The stage in the center was like the center of a shell spiral. A singer with blonde hair and dark blue dress was sitting there. There was a harp beside her. As her fingers stroked it, waves of ethereal and distant music were emitted.
The four people slowly walked into the venue, walked through the long white seating corridor, and gradually came to the center of the stage.
The singer slowly opened her eyes, let go of her hand playing the harp, and her deep blue eyes slowly swept over the four people, and then nodded slightly.
"Hello, Senior Idria." The four people joined hands to salute, and then sat in the first row of seats in front of the stage.
After that, the piano music continued. After a few minutes, Pulin and Odney arrived. They also sat beside the four people. Then the lights in the hall gradually went out from the outer circle until only the lights on the stage in the middle were left.
Idria played the piano. She did not speak, but only relied on the pure music to express her emotions.
It was an extremely profound and delicate emotion, as if it had experienced all kinds of vicissitudes and changes in people and things. There was a kind of nostalgia and calmness after the baptism of time.
Finally, the music slowly stopped, and she stood up.
Walk down the stairs step by step.
"Hello, young children." She came to the six people, and everyone stood up.
"Hello, teacher."
"Please sit down first. This is my first lesson for you. I won't teach you anything directly, but I want to get to know each other first." She waved her hand and walked past the six people.
"My name is Idria, and I am 276 years old now. Whether for a singer or an elf, I am not young. You must have some knowledge about me on the Internet." She walked slowly.
"The glory and publicity of youth are not very meaningful now. Human nature is also complex and changeable, but people can only see the side and silhouette of a moment and make various comments."
"You may have various comments and ideas about me now, but I want to say that this may not be the real me."
"I once yearned for the so-called "reality", but later I found that "reality" is sometimes not beautiful. Sometimes formal beauty is a more comfortable choice for both parties."
She said something that made the singers on the scene a little puzzled, but her emotions were particularly full, making several singers believe that this was indeed her true words without any concealment.
"It sounds very troubling, right? What I want to say is that people who are too idealistic are easily hit by reality. Sometimes it is better to keep a little distance. People who explore too much will live very tired."
"But as a singer, this approach of not exploring too much will seem a bit perfunctory, or insincere." Blanche said.
"Well, yes, it is not sincere enough."
"But sincerity can sometimes hurt people." She shook her head instead.
"I will teach you how to inspire your emotions, let them spread and affect many people around you, and guide you how to maintain your own self in the turbulent response of various emotions."
"Everyone's emotions and thoughts are different, they are real, but as a singer, if you respond to everyone, you will only be hurt in the end."
"'White Rose Harp' Ewen Qilin, you all know her story, Ewen Qilin was the most promising junior I have ever seen. Decades ago, we all thought that she would become the new sun of the Federation, but you also know the result, this is the consequence of not refusing."
"Fate is cruel, you are destined to not be able to respond to all wishes, and exploring the truth of everyone too much will fill your heart with irreparable shadows."
"So, even if you are a singer, what you can do is limited. You can only respond to the voices of those who agree with you and can solve the problem."
"Singer is a noun that carries the beautiful wishes of countless people, but you and I must understand that even singers are not omnipotent. We can only do so much, so we are destined to hide some emotions."
"Because responding to those spirals that cannot be untied will only drag yourself into a dead black hole and you can't get out."
"Comfort others, stay sober at the same time, don't immerse yourself too much in it, and trap yourself."
"We understand." Several singers present nodded with difficulty. Although it was still a bit obscure, everyone seemed to slowly understand what Idlia wanted to tell them.
"Very good, now you can introduce yourself one by one, talk about your current progress and favorite style."
"First, start with you."
Her fingers passed through several singers and finally stopped at the girl on the far left.
