The Whispering Verses Chapter 1218: A song for everyone
Chapter 1218 Everyone’s Song
"In this way, Sister Perry and Ms. Bretchett are both related to the Randall Valley"
Shad looked at Mr. Lehmann again, the heir to the small principality who came here for a special purpose, and immediately understood what Shad wanted to know:
"I am from the Eastern Continent, as I told you when you first met me. I have never been to or heard of the places these two ladies talked about."
He said with certainty. Shade nodded, but he had more thoughts in his heart.
Judging from past experience, the tree father guiding him to a strange era must have some meaning, or at least have a significant connection with the sixth era in which he lived. I originally thought that this time it would just provide him with a way to obtain the God Summoning Ceremony, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.
After Shade asked what he wanted to know and confirmed that there was nothing else to say, he said to the phantom-like god:
"God, we can give you the song of the banquet."
He can only stay for half an hour, and everyone has to sing a song, so he can't waste too much time.
The **** with transparent butterfly wings behind his back nodded slightly:
"You can arrange the order by yourself. After everyone sings a song, give a petal in his hand to the singer you think is the best. It is just a banquet game, not a solemn sacrificial occasion, so as a part of the banquet I will give you a small gift as a prize.”
Butterflies are flying all over the sky under the sky. If you didn't know that there are all kinds of bugs nearby, this scene would be quite dreamy.
Although there are four people here, the only ones who can actually make decisions are Shade and the middle-aged witch Bletchett. The two looked at each other, and the latter made a wise compromise:
"You decide."
She pinched the leaves and said.
"I am the last one, you decide the other order."
Xia De said easily. The witch nodded slightly and said to the other two people:
"This gentleman is the fourth, then I am the third."
Sister Perry then looked at Mr. Lyman, because the order actually had little effect, so in the end, Mr. Lyman showed his gentlemanly demeanor:
"Sister, you decide."
He respects the clergy very much. Although the wish he came to this place to fulfill is the weirdest, at least he has good character.
The nun hesitated:
"Then I will come second."
"No problem, I'll be the first one."
Mr. Lyman nodded and picked up the lyre that Shade had brought to him. It took a few minutes to adjust the tune, and then he said to the **** in a trembling voice:
"Great One, please allow me to present to you my song - "The Road to Searching for Butterflies"."
Taking the initiative to talk to the gods at this moment probably consumed most of his life's courage.
Although his heart was shaking, when he started to strum the strings, his heart gradually calmed down. Even if you are a mortal and come here for your dreams, you must have the courage to sing your songs to the gods.
Shad was very sure that the song Mr. Lyman sang was his own original creation, because it was the story of his journey to this cave. The lyre has a mellow tone, and Mr. Lehmann's singing voice is vicissitudes of life and a bit sad. Deep in this empty underground cave, the butterflies flying due to the arrival of the gods danced with the sound of the piano. The colorful sparkling lights followed the butterflies flapping their wings and fell in the white sky above the round table. The scene was dreamy and dreamy. And a little weird.
Shad heard a lot of bard singing in taverns and hotels, so he had some doubts that Mr. Lyman had also been trained as a bard. The singing method and ballad narrative method he displayed at this time were very similar to that of bards. The poets are so alike.
The song sings about his worries and fears on the road, his confusion when he spends the night alone with a bonfire, his joy and caution when meeting the gods, and his inner feelings. Loneliness and the desire for companionship. If he hadn't specifically mentioned that he liked fluffy tails and soft ears, then this song would be perfect.
However, although Mr. Lyman has a solid foundation in singing skills, plays the lyre very well, and the lyrics and melody are quite admirable, this cannot be changed. This is just an excellent ballad.
Shad didn't know what Sister Perry and the witch Ms. Bretchet would sing, but he was pretty sure that Mr. Lyman's song was nowhere near one-tenth as good as Miss Benenice of the Sixth Age. Regardless of the content, performance techniques or the singing itself, Mr. Lyman is far behind. Even Shade, who does not know how to appreciate, can judge this.
"I hope the girl I love can look at me sideways,
Sweet kisses accompany me as I sleep on the earth.
When we return to our hometown,
May this dream never end. ”
Mr. Lyman ended his singing with a hoarse bass, nodded slightly to the gods, and put down the piano.
No one applauded, everyone was thinking about their own things. Only the butterflies in the sky are still flying with the lingering sound, as if they are reluctant to let the music end.
"Great God of Butterflies, please allow me to sing the song of the earth for?"
Sister Olly Perry also said respectfully, and then opened the song "Song of the Earth" brought by Shade. Of course, these are all texts from the Sixth Age, but since magic potions can be provided here so that everyone can communicate with each other, it is natural that magic potions can be provided so that Sister Perry can understand these texts.
The candle made of twisted white long insect corpses bloomed with faint light on the top of the huge round table. The candlelight flickered, and the middle-aged nun covered her chest below her neck with one hand, then closed her eyes and raised her head and began to sing.
Compared with the "minstrel-style" singing method of Mr. Lyman just now, Sister Perry undoubtedly uses a "choir-style" singing method. In addition, what she sings is the hymns recorded in the "Church of the Sun and Earth", so the sense of holiness and solemnity makes people really feel like they are listening to the singing of the choir.
Mr. Lyman’s voice just now was hoarse, but Sister Perry’s voice was undoubtedly unusually mellow.
The content of the poem she chose does not involve butterflies, but instead praises the earth and nature. Shade has also read this book, so he knows that this poem describes the early spring. The poet wrote the poem after he saw the ice spring bursting and all things sprouting during the outing, and his heart surged with praise for nature and the earth. The poet was a clergyman who lived in the early fifth era, so the poem involves sentences praising the righteous **** [the old man with the lamp].
Of course, Sister Perry would not change the praise of "The Old Man with the Lamp" to the praise of "Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly". Instead, she would change the sentences praising the gods in the song to praise the earth itself.
The butterflies still flapped their wings in the air in response to her singing, and people who listened carefully looked at the nun who was reading the books. Although she is no longer a young girl, her appearance and voice in her thirties are more capable of singing the heaviness of the earth.
From Shade's point of view, although Sister Perry has no instrumental accompaniment, her singing is better than Mr. Lyman's. She had been trained in the church and the lyrics were better than if they had been written on the fly. Neither of them used extraordinary means, and Sister Perry was undoubtedly the winner.
[Butterfly phosphorus powder has hallucinogenic properties. 】
The nun's song is relatively long, but her voice is beautiful, so no one will be impatient with it. During the singing, "her" voice suddenly appeared, and Shade realized that "her" voice was even more beautiful than the singing voice.
"Is it highly hallucinogenic? Ordinary hallucinogenic powder, or does it have supernatural properties?"
[Take a deep breath. 】
Out of trust in "her", Shade immediately took a deep breath through his nose, and the inhalation of phosphorus powder also made "her" come to the conclusion:
[The appearance of these butterflies is related to the old god, and the hallucinogenic colored powder has miraculous elements. 】
"What will happen if you are exposed to it for a long time?"
[Your body is protected by the First Fire, nothing will happen to you. But those three mortals, even witches, couldn't bear such a dose of hallucinogenic powder all the time. Without the help of other powers, none of them would be able to leave after the banquet, and they would all fall into an eternal dream until they turned into withered bones at the table. 】
The nun was still singing, and Shade was silent for a moment:
"The gods agreed that those who please? at the banquet will be favored by their relatives and leave here. So, at least one person can leave."
【You want to save the other two people? 】
"She" asked with a chuckle.
"Sister Perry will most likely not die here. After all, Iluna has found out that she is still active in history, at least the name is still active. But no matter whether she wins or not, I will ensure that they all Leave alive."
【Because of pity or sympathy? 】
"Since we living in different eras can get together, it must be a wonderful fate. I have witnessed their stories, and naturally I hope the ending of the story is good. Of course, I can only do my best, at least this All my companions looked good.”
Sister Perry's song ended with "Praise the Earth" repeated three times. After the song ended, Shade's ears seemed to still be able to hear her voice echoing in his ears.
There was still no one applauding, but Shade somehow felt that the atmosphere of the banquet had become more lively. This may be because the flying butterflies looked more "lively".
The next one is the witch Bretchett, who specially asked Shade to bring fresh leaves. Naturally, like Shade, she plans to use extraordinary power to improve the quality of her singing.
It's just different from Shade's direct "copying" of a song. Miss Bleichett used those fresh leaves as casting materials. After throwing the leaves into the soil under her feet, a slender sapling grew in just half a minute. Then it grew.
The trunk of the tree is very straight and has only a few branches. The highest point is almost as high as the top of the sitting witch's head. She took a deep breath, and twelve golden steps appeared behind her.
