Chapter 196 He Divided My Body
"Miss, we have arrived at the academy."
The servant's voice woke Helvinia from her restless sleep.
She opened her sleepy eyes, looked outside the carriage, and found that she was back at the academy.
It’s been less than four days since I left the academy, but it feels like a long time has passed.
"Miss, you don't look very well." The servant looked at Hevinia with some concern, "Are you sick?"
No, it's just that Visas hollowed out his body.
Hevinia complained in her heart.
After the battle with Haddock, Helvinia did feel the burden, but it was not to the point where she couldn't bear it.
But after using the power of her eyes to get rid of Sherf, her body collapsed instantly.
For a moment, she felt like she was about to meet the real Helvinia, and anyone could tell that something was wrong with her.
Fortunately, she had planned it well from the beginning. After dealing with Sherf, she would go directly back to the academy. During the half-day journey back to the academy, no one would be able to contact her except the servant who was driving. She also took this time to have a good rest and finally recovered a lot.
Yes, the servant now felt that her strange physical condition was the result of her recovery, and Hevinia could explain it away with just one sentence: "I didn't get enough rest."
Hevinia got out of the car, and the cold wind blowing in her face made her confused mind a little clearer.
"Please take good care of yourself, young lady." The servant bowed, "and I wish you can become famous all over the world at the ceremony."
Helvinia glanced back at the servant.
In Shengyin, except for the seed area, no one would be unaware of the ceremony, even the servants of the nobles.
After blessing Helvinia, the servant drove away, leaving Helvinia to enter the academy alone.
Logically speaking, the vacation hasn't ended yet, so there shouldn't be many people in the academy. Hevinia was still worried that returning to school so early would attract too much attention.
But when she entered the college, she realized that she was wrong.
There are already quite a few people in the college, not only school workers, but also many students. They seem to have returned to school a long time ago and are now busy walking in the snow, but classes have not started yet.
But Hevinia quickly guessed the reason.
A grand ceremony, and a grand ceremony.
According to the rules, after the Seven Syllables, the news of the ceremony will be officially announced, so those who hope to participate in the ceremony will also start preparing at this time.
However, compared to the ceremony, there is something more important that Hevinia needs to figure out first.
That is the death of Arianna and Daphne, whether it has been found out.
If it is discovered, will you suspect me?
If this matter is not handled properly, then she won't have to worry about the ceremony.
Although Bai Wei said to her, "Don't you trust me to do the job?", Hevinia was still not very reassured. After all, when she went to find Sherf before, Bai Wei also said, "You go ahead and find me, leave the matter to me." But in the end... he did it, but she was the one who paid the price in the end.
This also made Hevinia deeply aware that many things that seemed unimportant to Bai Wei could be disastrous for her if she didn't handle them properly.
Therefore, we must act with caution and not always think about using Bai Wei's power.
Otherwise... Hevinia was also worried that she wouldn't live to see the ceremony.
And so, Hevinia returned to the dormitory building.
But she did not go back to her room directly to take a nap to rest. Instead, she went to the public lobby on the first floor of the dormitory and sat down next to the fireplace.
This is a good position to get information.
Most girls cannot keep secrets in their hearts. They like to casually speak out the secrets that they promised not to share with others at gatherings of two or three, and share gossip and rumors that they got from unknown sources while walking and chatting.
These were Hevinia's main sources of information when she first arrived at the academy. She relied on these whispers and mutterings to quickly understand the academy.
Now we are just repeating the process.
Although the chapel is some distance away from the college, since so many students have returned to school, the news there should not be hidden for too long.
Sure enough, just as she sat down, Hevinia heard people talking about the chapel.
They said that the area had been blocked off and several school workers were guarding it and not letting anyone get close.
Someone took a quick look and found that the chapel was gone. There was a big hole on the ground and no one knew what had happened.
...The chapel is gone? Was Bai Wei's disturbance that night so great? Hevinia thought to herself.
Someone else said that he had not received a response to the final paper he had given to Professor Arianna before the Seven Syllables Festival. It was not unusual for Professor Arianna to do this, as she was a meticulous person. This made the student a little worried, wondering if there was something wrong with his paper.
…Then she probably won’t be able to get back to you in this life. I just don’t know if you can graduate like this. Helvinia complained in her heart.
There was no other way. She had to keep thinking so as not to let this extremely tired body fall asleep.
Looking at the fire in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the fire she had set in the seed area yesterday.
What was burned down was her former "home".
Haddock, the two players, and her aunt who had been affected by the spell at some point and died humiliatingly in a sack, all disappeared together in the sea of fire and were completely devoured by the flames.
As she watched the flames burn, Hevinia felt a little dazed.
She burned her past with her own hands.
But will she have a future because of it?
It doesn’t seem so.
So what is she doing this for?
Hevinia's eyelids drooped slowly, and fatigue and sleepiness surged into her heart like a tide.
It was during this moment of distraction that she heard someone asking in her heart again.
"What on earth are you doing this for?"
This voice sounds like her own.
It also seems like... someone else.
"Tell me, Nia," the man asked, "what do you want to do?"
"What... do I want to do?"
"Yes, tell me, Nia." The man said gently, "Tell me what you want to do."
The fire in front of her eyes became increasingly blurry, and the eyes that could see through everything could no longer even see the flames clearly, just like Hevinia's spirit.
“I, I…”
She murmured softly, as if she was about to fall into an endless dream.
And just at this moment, a clear female voice suddenly sounded, instantly waking Hevinia from her half-asleep trance.
"Ah! I got it, I got it!"
Hevinia subconsciously raised her head and saw a young girl desperately waving the letter paper in her hand, as excited as a rabbit waving a carrot.
"What did you receive?" her companion immediately asked with concern.
The young girl tried hard to suppress her inner joy, but was obviously not very successful, as she couldn't suppress the raised corners of her mouth no matter how hard she tried.
However, she was not stupid enough to say it out loud in front of everyone. Instead, she took her two companions and found a seat in the lobby and sat down, acting as if she did not allow outsiders to know her personal privacy.
But her voice, which she tried to "lower", was still clearly heard by everyone in the hall, including Hevinia who was a little distance away from them.
"It's Master Watson. I received an invitation from Master Watson!" the girl said excitedly.
"Master Watson?" His companion's eyes widened instantly. "You mean..."
"Yes, it's Master Watson!" The girl unfolded the letter to her companion. On it was a family emblem. "He invited me to join his band!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the girl's two companions changed instantly.
One of them immediately took the letter, and after carefully reading it, he exclaimed, "It really is from Master Watson. Master Watson's band should be going to attack Neiqu, right?"
"No, it's not an impact!" the girl corrected immediately, "Their family has never missed the inner song!"
Helvinia listened in silence.
She naturally knew what Neiqu meant.
Simply put, the festival is a musical event dedicated to the Lord of Holy Sound, but not all orchestras and all songs are qualified to be dedicated to the Lord of Holy Sound.
After all, the time of the Lord of Holy Sound is not infinite.
Therefore, the number of songs that can be dedicated to the Lord of Holy Sound at the ceremony is limited and fixed, and these songs that can be dedicated to the Lord of Holy Sound are considered to be the selected internal songs. The songs that cannot be dedicated to the Lord of Holy Sound are just for the sake of making up the numbers and livening up the atmosphere at the ceremony, and are called external songs.
The reason why the ceremony is called the most important day of the entire Holy Music is because there are many people who can participate. If the orchestras performing external music are included, there may be thousands of people.
But the number of internal songs is fixed, so the orchestras need to compete for it.
However, this competition has little to do with Hevinia. Jinyin will always be the inner song among the inner songs, belonging to the top of the pyramid. Even if she does not join Lawrence's orchestra, she can find a few players to participate and enter the inner song.
Therefore, the competition between internal and external music is more of a competition between performers with "average talents", because there are not so many golden sounds in the world, and most of the golden sounds like to form groups.
This gives many silver sound players an opportunity, an opportunity to change their destiny.
Because being able to play for the "Lord" is the greatest achievement for an ordinary performer.
"That's great." One of the girl's companions immediately showed an envious expression, "Emily, it seems that after the ceremony, you can go to the upper city."
Emilia laughed “hehehe” but did not deny it.
“I heard that in Shengyin, as long as you enter the Lord’s vision, no matter what your background is, you will have a bright future.”
At this time, Bai Wei's voice slowly sounded in Hevinia's mind.
"So I was wondering, is the so-called grand ceremony just a group of people in darkness desperately climbing towards the only remaining light?"
Bai Wei's sudden words made Hevinia stunned for a moment.
In Shengyin, everyone regarded the ceremony as the grace of the Lord. After all, as long as the Lord could hear their voice, everything would be fine.
However, when these words came out of Bai Wei's mouth, Hevinia felt that what she heard was not "grace" but rather... alms.
So after a brief silence, Hevinia asked, "Mr. Visas, do you know the Lord of Holy Sound?"
"We had a little interaction."
Hevinia asked subconsciously, "What kind of relationship?"
“He divided my body.”
Hevinia: "..."
Bai Wei smiled and said, "Do you want to ask me what I think of the Lord of Holy Sound?"
"If you are willing to answer." Helvinia said cautiously. After all, this was a discussion about gods.
"I have nothing to be reluctant about." Bai Wei's tone was very relaxed, as if talking about gods was nothing to him, just like evaluating an ordinary person. "If you ask me, I think it's arrogant."
"……arrogant?"
"Yes, the so-called grand ceremony held every twenty years is nothing more than singing for Him," Bai Wei said calmly, "No matter whether you are a man or a woman, of humble or noble origin, you have to go to great lengths to please Him. From this perspective, isn't that just arrogance?"
Helvinia fell silent again.
Bai Wei's words could be considered the greatest blasphemy no matter how you put them, but she couldn't find any reason to refute them.
But there was no need for her to refute it.
"But what does God's arrogance bring to people?" Bai Wei said this lightly again.
Hevinia frowned slightly, and when she was about to ask, she caught a glimpse of the trio over there.
The girl named Emilia was holding a cup of hot tea, sipping it in small sips, the excitement on her face still lingering.
A companion sighed, "I'm so envious. The position of the notes for the inner song has already been decided. I wonder how many people are eyeing your empty position."
"At least a hundred." Another companion said faintly, "Amyia is the fifth tone of the silver level. In the three colleges, there are at least a hundred fifth tone of the silver level."
"But they are not as good as me!" Amiya said with a smile, "I am the best among them, otherwise why would Master Watson choose me?"
As she spoke, Emilia drank the hot tea in the cup and then stood up.
"Of course, I won't stop here. I will continue to polish my voice before the ceremony officially begins!" Emilia shook her fist, "I won't let anyone get the chance to squeeze me out! Absolutely not!"
“I want to be the note of the inner song!”
"After that I'm heading into Uptown!"
“I’m going to have a different life!”
"No one can stop me..." Emilia's voice became softer and softer, "No one can."
"I've had enough of the old days."
“I don’t want to be a breeding tool.”
"I, I, I..."
"Alright, alright." Her companion waved his hand. "We know you don't want to go back, so you don't have to keep telling us. We haven't figured it out yet. If you keep talking, we're going to get angry. Get out of here now."
Amyia didn't move.
The two companions raised their heads subconsciously.
Then they saw Emilia with a dazed expression and lifeless eyes. Just when they were confused and wanted to ask, black blood suddenly flowed out of Emilia's eyes and nostrils.
Then she fell down with a plop.
"Emiya!"
