Chapter 175: Aesthetics of violence is also art
The next day, news of the major event at the Duke of Vic's dinner party spread throughout the campus of Jianhe University.
Baron Yeats played the "Moonlight Sonata" on a new musical instrument, the harpsichord, which made the musician Christian feel ashamed and won the praise of Princess Celine.
Most of the students at Jianhe University were of noble birth and well-informed, so they were all familiar with the name Christian.
Such a musical genius who once performed for the Emperor in the Onyx Hall would actually admit that he was not as good as another musician?
In a coffee shop along the Cam River, the sun shone on the quaint little parasols. Sitting beside a wooden table painted snow-white, June drank Morning Frost coffee and secretly paid attention to the discussions of students at the next table.
"Baron Yeats is God's choice for art. It makes sense that his piano skills are better than Christian's."
"The key is that he was improvising! He played the entire 15-minute Moonlight Sonata directly. His talent is too terrifying!"
“I heard that this piece of music will be passed down to future generations. I really want to listen to it live!”
June paid attention for a while and found that no one talked about Yeats' assassination at the banquet. He thought to himself, "It seems that Duke Vick is deliberately controlling this news... That old fox, no matter Moonlight or Dark Night, neither side wants to provoke him!"
However, June could understand Duke Vic's approach.
I would rather do nothing than make a mistake.
Along the Jian River, in the palace.
Last night, Yeats returned to the palace and informed Megan of the assassination attempt the next day.
"Murdering the Moonlight Saint, this sounds like the work of the Assassin's League." Megan seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes turned cold. "The trial of the Goddess of Magic is imminent, and the Dark Night Cult is restless again..."
"Yeats, until you find out who is behind the assassination, try not to act alone."
The black-haired witch said earnestly: "Even if you have to, you must bring guards with you."
Ye Zhi could feel the kindness from Teacher Megan, nodded, and said:
"It was mainly because the Moonlight Saint was beside me that it was inconvenient to expose Pan's Flute. Otherwise, I would have no problem getting away at least."
Megan pondered for a moment and said, "As the chosen one of the gods of art, the news will be made public sooner or later. It was announced last night, so it's nothing... But the fewer people who know about Pan's Flute, the better."
Pan's Flute, as an epic equipment, can be said to be one of Yeats' biggest trump cards.
However, the belief in Pan is considered heresy by the church, and his shepherd's flute must be used with extreme caution.
Immediately, Ye Zhi took out the Moonfire Potion, and under Megan's guidance, began to practice the [Moonlight Sword].
In addition to two bottles of Moonfire Potion, Ye Zhi also obtained a Silver Moon Mace and a bottle of Dragon Blood Potion given by Duke Vic at this dinner.
Considering that the Moonfire Potion is most effective when consumed for the first time, and its effectiveness will drop sharply after the second bottle, Ye Zhi plans to give the second bottle of potion to Snow Owl.
The Snowy Owl already knows a lot of moonlight spells. The Moonfire Potion can increase the power of these moonlight spells while increasing the total amount of magic power stored in the Snowy Owl's body.
The dual-school trial only allows low-ring transcendents to participate, and Snowy Owl is the highest three-ring transcendent among the low-ring transcendents. Continuing to strengthen Snowy Owl before the start of the competition can increase its hope of becoming God's Chosen!
"Moonfire is a power that belongs exclusively to the Moonlight Goddess." Megan began to explain, "She poured the moonlight bath into the milk on the altar, transforming it into a milky white, glowing, silky liquid, and then combined it with moonflowers, star grass and other medicinal herbs to make the Moonfire potion."
"In terms of taste, it's similar to hot milk," Megan said, crossing her arms. "It's also very smooth. It's a rare and delicious potion."
Magic potions, most of them are hard to swallow.
For example, the dragon blood potion is mixed with medicinal herbs such as dragon blood tree bark and dragon fly wings to neutralize its medicinal properties, so the taste is hard to describe.
The main ingredient of the Moonfire Potion is milk. Ye Zhi drank a bottle of it and gulped it down. He took a sip and it tasted quite good.
However, Ye Zhi's face changed slightly, and he felt his stomach burning as if on fire. The heat gradually flowed to his limbs, and his whole body seemed to be on fire.
The aftereffects are coming!
"Take this opportunity now to enter the frequency of Moonlight Breathing." Megan said.
Ye Zhi closed his eyes and looked inward at the tree of life in his body.
The moonlight lingering around the Tree of Life condensed into substantial moon fire and fell on the second silver ring.
The breathing gradually became regular, digesting the energy brought by the moon and fire.
The soul power that had been stagnant advanced by about 10% towards the third ring.
Such a major breakthrough shocked Ye Zhi.
The breathing frequency was wrong, and the moon fire on the silver ring burned violently, as if it was going to swallow the Tree of Life whole!
Seeing the strange aura revealed by Ye Zhi, Megan thought to herself that this bottle of Moonfire Potion might be wasted.
There is also a chance of success in digesting the potion.
Ye Zhi was obviously unlucky and was unable to use the power of the Moonfire Potion for his own benefit.
"Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise his Tree of Life might be damaged." Megan's eyes flashed, and she was about to help.
Ye Zhi seemed to be prepared and took out a nail hammer from his space bag.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Megan was slightly stunned.
This mace is actually forged with mithril and combined with moonstone. It is undoubtedly the perfect weapon that carries the power of moonlight.
Ye Zhi learned it by himself and transferred the boiling moon fire in his body to the 'Silver Moon' mace in his hand.
Huh! The nail hammer ignited silver-white fighting spirit, releasing a sharp and bright moonlight, which was moonlight fighting spirit!
A hint of surprise flashed in Megan's eyes... Moonlight Dou Qi is a manifestation of mastering the Moonlight Breathing Method.
But even with the benefit of the Moonfire Potion, Ye Zhi has only been exposed to the Moonlight Breathing Method for less than half a month, and he can already release Moonlight Fighting Qi? Even though it is known that Ye Zhi has a unique talent in Moonlight magic.
But at this moment, the degree of compatibility between Ye Zhi and the moonlight spell was still far beyond Megan's expectations! Ye Zhi took a deep breath, clenched the mace, and suddenly swung it in the air.
The nail-headed hammer drew a crescent-like arc, and a surging moonlight fighting spirit condensed into a moonlight sword, slashing towards the phoenix tree in the courtyard.
boom!!
The middle section of the sycamore tree looked as if it had been violently broken by a hammer, with wood chips flying everywhere. It collapsed with a loud bang, revealing a rough cross-section.
Megan's eyes were filled with shock and her mouth opened wide.
How can you perform sword skills with a mace? This is not the combat skill 'Moonlight Sword' at all, it's more like Moonlight Hammer!
In an instant, the rumbling sound of the sycamore tree falling stopped.
Ye Zhi had also completely digested the Moonfire Potion, and was feeling the power seed of the Moonlight Dou Qi in his body. A Moonfire was slowly rotating around the Tree of Life.
"Senior Megan, I should be considered successful in this, right?"
Yeats asked with a sigh, placing the mace on his shoulder.
Megan even forgot to care about Ye Zhi's address as 'Senior Megan'. She looked strange and hesitated, "How should I put it... The moonlight sword you just released, although not elegant, is very destructive!"
"But I think there is still room for improvement." Ye Zhi pondered, "I can throw the mace bathed in moonlight fighting spirit. This will be more powerful than simply condensing the moonlight sword with moonlight fighting spirit!"
Megan twitched her lips and said, "Are you really the chosen one of art? Why does it sound so violent?"
Ye Zhi was slightly startled, then smiled and said:
“The aesthetics of violence is also an art!”
