Chapter 198 The Beginning
The three colleges of Shengyin are located in different locations. The second college is located on an isolated island in a large lake, and the only way to travel there is by boat.
As soon as Phoenix got off the boat, he saw a dark-skinned young man who had been waiting on the shore.
"Good afternoon, Tupac," Phoenix greeted with a smile.
Tupac also grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth that looked even whiter against his skin: "I thought you would come earlier, Phoenix."
When the two stood together, they instantly attracted the attention of countless people at the dock.
The reason is very simple. Both of them are true golden sound players, and they do not hide this identity.
Especially Tupac.
Even in the eternal winter country of Shengyin, he only wore an extremely thin piece of clothing and rolled up his sleeves high, revealing a large area of dark skin on his arms and the golden lines on his skin, as if he was afraid that others would not see it.
"It took a while because of something." Phoenix said with a faint smile, "You know, some people have been wanting to know what kind of music we are going to play at this ceremony, especially after I convinced Miss Hevinia from the Third Academy, they became more concerned."
"Well... to be honest, I actually hope you can make your words clearer." Tupac said, "Are those people you are talking about the two great families of Taichu?"
"Who else could it be?" Phoenix said with a smile, "Once we are certain of possessing the Golden Seventh Tone, even the two great families of Taichu will be able to sense our formidable force. If things go well on your side as well, then we will have more than 70% chance of winning this grand ceremony."
After saying this, Phoenix saw Tupac suddenly start scratching his head and he understood something.
"It doesn't look like it's going well?"
Tupac sighed softly, then turned his body to the side and said, "Let's talk on the way."
Phoenix nodded slightly and followed Tupac.
After all, this is his home ground.
"You know, after you went to the Third Hospital to find that chick, I already contacted Evan." Tupac said as he led the way, "Actually, I had a pretty good chance of winning. Although that guy is also Jinyin, his family isn't well off, and he's even always been asking for help from our family. So, I thought I had it all figured out, but the result..."
He shrugged.
"The two great families at the beginning of the world have intervened."
Phoenix's brows furrowed slightly.
In the original plan, he went to the Third Hospital to find Hevinia, while Tupac went to contact another Golden Voice.
Logically speaking, Tupac's side is more secure, because according to Tupac, the golden sound named Evan, his family has always been a vassal of Tupac's family, so if Tupac makes the contact, the other party has no reason to refuse.
That way, their band would have four gold medals, and they could even have time left to look for the fifth.
But Phoenix didn't expect that the most stable Tupac would fail.
This annoyed him a little.
It wasn't that he was annoyed by the intervention of the two Taichu families, because they would definitely intervene, but Phoenix was not too worried before.
Because the conditions given by Taichu have always been fixed, as long as Tupac can offer more favorable conditions than Taichu, the other party has no reason to side with Taichu, just like the conditions that Phoenix offered to Hevinia in the Third Academy.
But now, Hevinia succeeded, but Tupac failed.
Phoenix didn't have to think too much to guess that there must be something wrong with the conditions set by Tupac.
Is it because you feel that the other party is just your vassal and there is no need to be too sincere, so you dare not refuse as long as you give it to them casually?
What...how arrogant.
If you just win the reward from the grand ceremony, you will have everything, right? Why do you still want that little thing?
Arrogant and stupid!
If there was no other way, Phoenix really didn't want to cooperate with a short-sighted noble like Tupac. Although in the eyes of many people, Tupac's family was already one of the top ten families in the Holy Sound Ranking, but in Phoenix's eyes, it was no different from those small nobles in small towns.
He was obviously willing to put aside his pride and deal with Tupac, so why couldn't this guy be a little sincere to his own followers?
Phoenix felt a lot of resentment in his heart, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said calmly, "Is that so? Then why don't you let me go talk to him? He's in the Second Hospital anyway. Let's go find him now?"
Tupac waved his hand and said, "It's too late. I had a big fight with him before you came. Now this guy has already gone to the First Courtyard to make preparations with the two families from Taichu."
Hearing this, Phoenix's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
He even pissed the other person off?!
Now there is no chance of recovery.
Because in the First Academy, the two Taichu families have the greatest power, otherwise Phoenix would not have come to the Second Academy to prepare for the ceremony.
Why does it have to come to this?!
Doesn't he know that the other party has already joined the Taichu family and that there will be no benefit in making enemies with him?
Phoenix became even angrier.
Arrogant! Stupid! Short-sighted!
Tupac was not a fool who could not read the atmosphere. He noticed the change in Phoenix's expression and guessed that the eldest son of the Lawrence family was not in a good mood at the moment, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "It doesn't matter. Although I failed here, you succeeded, didn't you? As long as we can deal with the girl from the third hospital, we will have a great chance of winning. After all, the golden seventh tone is rarer than other tones."
As soon as Tupac mentioned Hevinia, Phoenix stopped dead in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Tupac looked at him in confusion.
"I'm going to the Third Hospital." Phoenix said this briefly, then turned and left.
After a brief moment of shock, Tupac immediately caught up with him: "Hey, hey, hey, why do you suddenly have to go to the Third Hospital? Don't we still need to discuss the song?"
"I want to make sure Helvinia doesn't fall into the hands of the two great families of the beginning." Although Phoenix didn't want to bother with Tupac, now was not the time to have a falling out, so he suppressed his temper and explained, "The two great families of the beginning clearly knew that Evan was your man, but they still extended an olive branch to him, so they will definitely contact Helvinia in the same way."
"But didn't you say that the little country girl had already agreed to your request?"
"Indeed." Phoenix stepped onto the boat that had just left and said to the surprised boatman, "Go to the Third Hospital, now."
Then he turned back to Tupac and said.
"Since Evan is gone, Hevinia must be in our hands, so I have to go there to make sure nothing unexpected happens. At least when the two Taichu families find her, I won't have to wait here for news and hope that she won't betray us."
The second half of Phoenix's sentence was a clear mockery of Tupac.
Because of Evan's betrayal, Hevinia's importance was naturally raised infinitely, so the two Taichu families would probably spend some money to increase their efforts to recruit Hevinia, and the previous conditions would no longer be secure. Therefore, Phoenix had to be present at the scene in person to ensure that Hevinia could be firmly held in his hands and must not be let go.
Tupac didn't hear Phoenix's sarcasm towards him. He just found Phoenix's anxious look somewhat amusing. So when the boat was about to leave the shore, he suddenly took a big step and jumped on.
Phoenix looked at Tupac in surprise.
"Then I'll go with you." Tupac said with a smile, "I also want to see what that little country girl with golden voice looks like."
…
"The problem now is that after the ceremony begins, I have to go to the Second Hospital to prepare." Hevinia said to Bai Wei in her heart, "But the Second Hospital is a completely unfamiliar environment for me. Even with your eyes, it is difficult to disguise myself like I am here. I must think of a plan in advance."
At this moment, Hevinia was walking alone by the lake, looking as if she was floating away from the world.
But in fact, she was discussing countermeasures with Bai Wei in her heart.
As mentioned before, Helvinia chose the most difficult of the two ways to snatch the Golden Sound.
Therefore, she had more things to consider, so at this time, Hevinia told Bai Wei all her concerns.
It's rare, it's like a heart-to-heart talk.
"You've been very thoughtful." Bai Wei said with a smile, "I'm not as good as you in this aspect. I'm not good at calculating others."
Hevinia pursed her lips and said softly, "If I had your power, I wouldn't want to scheme against others... Scheming is the only means that incompetent people can use after all."
"Really?" Bai Wei said, "I think this is the most powerful weapon of the wise. From this point of view, you are also very powerful, Hevinia."
Helvinia was noncommittal.
When she walked to the lake, she looked at the windless lake, and then said seriously: "Mr. Visas, before we make a formal plan, I want to know one thing. I hope you can tell me."
Seeing Hevinia asking the question so formally, Bai Wei also stood up straight in a formal manner.
"Go ahead."
"I want to know..." Hevinia stared at her erect middle finger, "What can you do now?"
"Oh? What do you want to ask?"
"I want to know if I can always maintain the posture of a hunter in this hunt." Hevinia said, "Or do I need to pay attention to some special people... or objects? I have to know this so that I can make a better response plan."
Although Hevinia asked very tactfully, on the surface, she was just asking when she was the mantis and when she was the cicada in this hunt between the mantis and the cicada, or whether she could always maintain her identity as the mantis and ensure that she could "eat" every golden sound she met.
But Bai Wei knew that what Hevinia actually wanted to ask had another meaning.
That is, "Is there anyone in Shengyin that Bai Wei is afraid of?"
In other words, even now, are you still thinking about the possibility of counterattack against yourself?
What a restless guy.
Bai Wei replied with interest: "Of course there is."
Hevinia remained calm: "So he is?"
"Lord of Holy Sound." Bai Wei said with a smile, "If you take me to find the Lord of Holy Sound right now, I probably won't survive. After all, a god in his prime is still too powerful."
...In other words, apart from the Lord of Holy Sound, there will be no other existence in Holy Sound that can threaten Bai Wei?
Although she had expected this, when she heard Bai Wei say it himself, Hevinia still fell into a brief silence, and then nodded gently: "I understand."
"But then again, just because no one can defeat me doesn't mean no one can defeat you." Bai Wei spoke slowly again, "Even if your body is better than my two previous partners, you can't withstand my power forever. If you continue to be as reckless as you were in the last battle, you probably won't make it to the ceremony."
After hearing what Bai Wei said, Hewinia nodded again, indicating that she understood.
Now Hevinia is no longer as ignorant of Bai Wei's power as she was at the beginning.
Now, she not only used Bai Wei's body, but also let Bai Wei use her body. Obviously, the latter is the most powerful, because Bai Wei knows his body better than she does, but the cost is also greater. So unless she is pushed to the extreme, she still cannot let Bai Wei come, otherwise her body will be broken before the last step.
Therefore, it would be safer to use Bai Wei's power himself, just like he dealt with Haddock, like a real hunter.
But this is just as Hevinia worried, once leaving the three colleges and going to a completely unknown environment, many things will be out of control.
If there was any way, she could just let all those Jin Yins come to the three colleges and let her kill them one by one.
Just as Hevinia was thinking this, a rustling sound suddenly rang in her ears.
This is the sound of wind blowing through dead leaves.
Only then did Hevinia notice that she had unknowingly walked to the forbidden forest again.
She immediately recalled the experience of being stared at by a certain gaze in the Forbidden Forest seven syllables ago, which made her subconsciously stop.
Because the familiar sense of danger surged into my heart again.
She stared at the forbidden forest intently. It seemed as if something dangerous was approaching among the swaying dead branches and leaves, causing Hevinia's breathing to slow down a lot.
"Mr. Visas..."
Helvinia was about to speak.
Suddenly, a male voice sounded behind me.
"You are Miss Helvinia, I suppose?"
Hevinia was slightly startled, then immediately turned her head away.
She found a young man standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.
When did it get behind me?!
Hevinia was horrified.
She subconsciously wanted to turn on [Gaze].
But something even more shocking happened to her.
【Attention】is not activated.
Visas rejected her.
In shock, the man in front of her reached out his hand to her.
"Hello." He said with a smile, "My name is Daniel, Daniel Ether."
……ether?
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
One of the two great beings in the beginning... Ether.
