Chapter 162 I Want You to Be My Music
"Who is he? How dare he compare himself to me?"
When she heard this, Hevinia's brows twitched involuntarily.
She really wanted to test Bai Wei just now to see what kind of person he was, but she didn't expect the answer she got was so... simple and crude.
This tone and this way of speaking were not unfamiliar to Hevinia. Not to mention far away, she had heard it many times in the girls' dormitory.
Every night, the girls who gathered around the fireplace in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory would always whisper to each other, "We are all silver-level, how can that XXX compare with me?" This made Hevinia want to laugh.
But when the target of such a sentence switched to the Lord of Holy Sound, and the person who said it was a guy who looked no ordinary person, Hevinia had to seriously consider the truth of this sentence.
However, she did not question it out loud, because questioning at this stage would not produce a result that could prove the authenticity, so it was meaningless.
So Helvinia asked calmly: "If it is true as you said, I want to play the seven-tone divine song, then how can you help me? And what do you want?"
"It's very simple." Bai Wei said with a smile, "I want you to be my music score and play my own unique movement for me."
Hevinia's brows twitched again. She still didn't expect Bai Wei's answer to be so direct.
"You want me?" Helvinia asked.
"Well... although your statement may sound a bit ambiguous at first." Bai Wei was still smiling, "But if you look closely, there is no big problem. For some reason, I also need to play the Seven-tone Divine Song. But I am different from others. After they know your identity, they will want your life, but I only want you as a person, because I am not a Saint Music Person. I can only rely on you to play the Divine Song."
"Is this why you asked me to bring you to Shengyin?"
"certainly."
"You will also be able to play the seven-tone divine music?"
"That's right."
"That means if I refuse to help you..." Helvinia's words gradually slowed down, but her words became clearer, "you will kill me too, right?"
When asking this question, Hevinia felt a little nervous and a little regretful.
She also didn't know whether it was a good decision to let Bai Wei reveal his cards at this time.
But before she could think too long, Bai Wei gave her answer: "Of course not... Haha, I know what you are worried about, but you can rest assured that I don't have the habit of killing my partners, especially those who are helpful to me."
"Really?" Helvinia said, "If I refuse to cooperate with you, you will give up playing the Seven Notes?"
Helvinia did not try to hide the doubt in her words.
"That won't happen." Bai Wei said calmly, "Even if you refuse, I will still play the Seven-tone Divine Song."
"That sounds a bit contradictory."
"No contradiction." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Because I am sure that if you don't cooperate with me, you will definitely be killed by others. At that time, I won't have to worry about those things."
silence.
There was a long silence.
The boat Daphne was on had completely disappeared from sight, and the lake that never froze was surging in the cold wind.
Helvinia pressed down her windblown hair and said calmly, "That sounds like a threat, Mr. Visas."
"No, it's not a threat." Bai Wei smiled, "I'm just stating the facts."
"Really?" Helvinia said politely, "But unfortunately, the facts you said will not come true, and you were wrong from the beginning."
"Um?"
"I never thought about playing the Seven-tone Divine Comedy alone." Helvinia said, "You seem to know something about my past, so you should know that people who climb up from the seed area want an identity and a stable life the most, and coincidentally, I already have these things. So I will work hard to maintain my current life and be a real Helvinia, instead of taking risks to do something meaningless. So I'm sorry to disappoint you, I won't cooperate with you, nor will I become your sibyl."
"Yeah?"
Hevinia lowered her head and looked at the jade-like middle finger of her left hand.
"You helped me light up the notes, and I am very grateful to you, so I am willing to lend you my body temporarily so that you can recover from your injuries." Helvinia said, "But I also want you to keep your promise and leave my body when you are healed, okay?"
"Of course, no problem." Bai Wei's tone did not contain any regrets for being rejected, but only relief. "I never break my promises to any of my partners."
"Really?" Hevinia nodded slightly. "Then please rest well in my body. I'm sorry I can't chat with you. I have my own things to do."
"Of course." Helvinia heard Bai Wei yawning, "I am indeed tired after talking so much. Good night, Miss Helvinia."
"It should be good afternoon, Mr. Visas."
Hevinia looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, then turned around and prepared to leave the dock and return to the dormitory.
But at this moment, she heard Bai Wei speaking slowly again.
"Between life and death, there is another path."
"If you want to choose that path, you can shout my name."
"But from that moment on, you will be my score."
"Remember that, Miss Helvinia."
Hevinia's body paused for a moment, but she pretended not to hear anything and walked straight towards the castle in the snow.
…
When I returned to the dormitory, the sun was about to set and the darkness was madly swallowing up the sunset glow.
Actually, judging from the time, it is still afternoon.
But the daytime in Shengyin is shorter than in other places, and it is often completely dark before dinner.
Therefore, the academy's courses are basically concentrated in the morning, but this does not mean that students only have half a day to study. On the contrary, it is after the sun sets that the performers start to work hard.
In the small woods near the dormitory building, you can always hear various "melodies".
And these melodies are naturally produced by the students.
In Shengyin, a person's value depends on whether he can become a performer.
The value of a performer depends on the "sound" he is born with.
The purer and clearer the tone, the more power it contains - the power bestowed by the Lord of Holy Sound.
The more chaotic and turbid the tone is, the less power it contains.
This is the origin of the three grades of gold, silver and copper. For the same note, the purer and more thorough it is, the closer it is to gold; the more chaotic and turbid it is, the closer it is to copper.
But this is not completely set in stone.
The innate timbre can also be improved through acquired efforts, and there are huge differences in timbre among people of the same class.
If you want to improve your voice, you can rely on practice or medication.
Just like a voice that wants to produce good sound, it depends on both practice and the voice itself. Practice is easy, but if the voice itself is not good, it will be more painful to change. But the importance of the voice itself is much greater than practice.
Hevinia walked slowly in front of the woods, thinking about her previous conversation with Bai Wei at the dock, while listening to the sounds coming from the woods.
Why is it said that it is the time for performers to work hard after dark?
Because in the forest after dark, as long as the areas are divided, everyone can only hear each other's voices and cannot see each other's images, which allows them to practice more confidently and boldly.
The reason why I don't want others to see it is because polishing the tone is painful and embarrassing in itself.
You can feel it best when walking by the woods. The melody keeps suddenly changing, either with wailing sounds or simply losing its voice, like a broken instrument.
If the small forest next to the dormitory was not independent and not connected to the largest forbidden forest, Hevinia would have thought that the snowthorn beast that the school workers talked about during the day had come here to hunt again.
When they were almost back to the dormitory, Hevinia suddenly stopped.
Because she heard a melody coming from the woods that was far superior to the other melodies, like a real white swan among a group of ugly ducklings.
But more importantly, this melody is the same seventh note as Helvinia's.
Hevinia guessed the identity of the player.
Sure enough, not long after, a tall woman with a tired face walked out of the woods.
It was Olenna.
As soon as Olenna walked out of the woods, she saw Hevinia standing in front of the dormitory door. She was startled for a moment, then her brows immediately frowned, and her eyes were full of vigilance.
"Good evening, Senior Olenna." Helvinia greeted Olenna very obediently, "Your voice is getting better and better. I think you may have a chance to become a gold-level master."
Hevinia's compliment did not make Olenna look happy, but made her look even uglier.
"Stop being so hypocritical, Hevinia," Olenna said coldly.
Hevinia sighed softly: "I don't know why you always say this to me. I don't have any bad intentions. I just want to be friends with you."
Before she finished speaking, Olena had already lost the desire to listen and walked straight towards her.
Helvinia subconsciously tried to dodge, but was a little too slow and was hit by Olenna.
"ah."
Hevinia was knocked down and fell from outside the dormitory into the dormitory lobby, looking very embarrassed.
Olena said coldly: "Don't block the door for no reason and affect others coming in and out..."
Before she could finish her words, Olenna felt something was wrong.
She raised her head and turned her gaze from Hevinia to the lobby, and then found that more than a dozen female players were looking at her with surprise on their faces.
"Senior Olenna, Senior Helvinia, what are you doing?"
"Oh, Helvinia!"
They found Hevinia who had been knocked down and immediately ran over, helping Hevinia up while looking at Olenna in shock.
"Senior Olenna, why did you hit Helvinia?"
"Are you going a little too far?"
Olenna's face was dark. She was about to say something, but Hevinia spoke first: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay. I was blocking the door. It has nothing to do with Senior Olenna."
Olenna's expression became even worse now.
"Helvetia!" She took a step closer to Helvetia. "Are you..."
"You're going too far, Senior Olenna!"
Olenna was interrupted again by other players.
"What else do you want to do?"
"You should apologize to Helvinia!"
"We know you're amazing, Olenna, but you also have to know that Helvinia is the Gold Rank! And you're just below her!"
After these words were spoken, the fire in Olenna's eyes almost set the entire dormitory on fire.
However, under the gazes of more than a dozen players in the lobby and more players about to enter the dormitory, Olenna knew that it was useless for her to say anything. She could only take a deep breath, grit her teeth and said to Hevinia word by word: "Just wait, I will not be worse than you... I will also become a gold-level player!"
Then, Olenna said nothing more, took her things, turned around and went up the stairs leading to the upper floors.
Naturally, her actions aroused dissatisfaction among more people.
"Why is she so arrogant?"
"When she was the chief, she was arrogant and lawless. Now she is Helvinia's subordinate. Why doesn't she control herself?!"
If words were knives, then the girls' condemnation of Olenna at this moment could cut her into pieces.
And Hevinia said quietly: "No, this is my problem, don't blame Senior Olenna."
"Hey, Hevinia, don't always take the blame on yourself. This is her own problem."
"Yeah, she's not in her right mind."
"It's missing a string."
"No, no, no, you don't know, she's jealous."
"Who can't see jealousy?"
"Stupid, I'm not jealous of Helvinia, I'm jealous of her brother."
"Ah? What did you say?"
"Don't you know?" A girl looked around, then deliberately lowered her voice so that only the dozen or so people present could hear, "Olena's biological brother is Senior Phoenix from the first academy!"
"Senior Phoenix?!" Someone widened his eyes, "Could it be that..."
The girl nodded heavily.
"Phoenix of the Golden Level Two Tone!"
"That's her biological brother!"
There was an uproar at the scene.
The news was so explosive that all the girls present started talking about it.
What they didn't notice was that Hevinia had narrowed her eyes slightly.
…
After returning to her room and putting down her book, Hevinia subconsciously wanted to open the drawer.
But suddenly he thought of something and looked down at the middle finger of his left hand.
"Mr. Visas," Helvinia said calmly, "I don't know if you are awake now, and I don't know how you perceive the outside world, but I want to say that I am willing to lend my body to you, but I need to get a little respect from you."
"Just say what you want to say."
"I need a little privacy." Helvinia looked at her middle finger and pulled at her collar, revealing a large area of white skin. "At least I can change my clothes without worrying about anything."
Bai Wei smiled: "Do you have any solution?"
"If you don't mind."
"Sure." Bai Wei didn't care. "Just do it."
Hevinia looked at her middle finger again, then took out a roll of paper engraved with talismans and wrapped her middle finger layer by layer.
Then he tapped the staff lightly and murmured, "Two Sounds: Sealing the Demon."
The tip of the staff glowed faintly, and along with the melody of the two notes, the paper tightened little by little, and the talisman on the paper came to life like leaping notes.
After the spell was completed, Helvinia actually felt the voice in her head disappear.
It's not that there is no speech, but that it no longer exists.
It seems that the power of the Lord of Holy Sound is still effective on him... at least on this finger.
Helvinia came to a conclusion in her mind.
But she did not waste time, because she didn't know how long Eryin's magic seal could last, so she immediately opened the drawer and found the most inconspicuous piece of paper from the pile of books.
There are several names on the paper.
For example, Hevinia with seven notes, Amber with five notes, and Phoenix with two notes.
She set her eyes on Phoenix's name, because there was a name next to Phoenix - Olenna.
She drew a line through it and wrote "Maybe it's related."
But now…
Hevinia waved her staff again, and the surging energy changed the small words into "brother and sister".
The last sentence of Hevinia in the previous chapter has been modified.
