Chapter 205 I've Got What I Wanted (6K)
Hevinia didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly.
Olenna successfully upgraded.
A new golden note, the seventh note, appeared.
This impact is huge for Hevinia. The most intuitive thing is, since she is no longer the only Seventh Note, will Phoenix continue to cooperate with her?
With Olenna as my biological sister here, there is no reason to choose Helvinia, who is the same note that needs to make concessions, right?
But if that happens, wouldn't all of Hevinia's plans be ruined?
So how can she continue to get closer to Phoenix?
Phoenix is considered far away, the closest one now is the person right in front of us - Tupac.
It was about to get dark, and if it weren't for this accident, Hevinia would have already set out to prepare to harvest Tupac.
So should we continue now?
A lot of doubts surged into Helvinia's mind at the same time, making Helvinia feel anxious. She thought, what if it's just one day later? Just one day later, Olena's time to become the Golden Voice will be delayed by one day, and she can get Tupac's Golden Voice first.
At this time, Bai Wei spoke slowly: "Are you anxious, Hevinia?"
Helvinia did not deny it: "Yes."
"Have you forgotten what I just said to you?"
……Just now?
After a moment of pause, Hevinia recalled the uncontrollable accident that Bai Wei had suddenly mentioned.
At that time, Hevinia didn't understand what Bai Wei meant, but now...
Hevinia immediately asked, "Did you guess that Olenna would be able to successfully upgrade?"
"That's not the case." Bai Wei said with a smile, "I just feel that things may not go as smoothly as we expected. Accidents will always happen, but I don't know how they will appear."
Bai Wei's words were half true and half false.
He did experience the entire plot of Holy Sound as a player in the game, but that plot took place under the circumstances of Hevinia's early death.
In the normal timeline, Helvinia would have died long ago.
It wasn't just her. Even the Terrell family who got the golden score were mostly killed because the news was exposed... Yes, Hevinia's big-breasted best friend was just a praying mantis being preyed upon by a bird in the original plot.
But now, Hevinia survived.
This most restless, uncontrollable and noisy little mantis was saved by Bai Wei, the hunter who hid at the back and wanted to catch the bird. The change she brought was definitely no less than that of the butterfly that flapped its wings and caused a big storm.
At least, in Bai Wei's memory, Olenna did succeed in upgrading, but not today.
Her upgrade was successful ahead of schedule.
Bai Wei wasn't sure whether this was related to the provocation Hevinia had given her the day before.
But an accident did happen, and Bai Wei's previous words were both a warning to Hevinia and a reminder to himself that he could not be careless in this extremely uncontrollable storm.
Hevinia had no idea how much truth there was in Bai Wei's words, but when she heard Bai Wei's still relaxed tone, she quickly calmed down.
Yes, the accident has already happened, and there is no point in continuing to complain, especially since time is running out.
Hevinia glanced out the window. The sun had already set. She had to sort out her thoughts and make a decision as quickly as possible.
She slowly closed her eyes.
Putting aside those additional factors, there was only one question she had to think about now.
Tupac, should he take this golden note or not?
While Hevinia was thinking, Bai Wei did not make any noise to disturb her, so the whole room was so quiet that only the sounds of breathing and heartbeats could be heard.
Wait until the sun sets completely, at the moment when the last ray of daylight is swallowed by the darkness.
Hevinia opened her eyes, and without any hesitation, she picked up her staff and left the dormitory.
…
The news that Olenna had become Golden Sound spread across the entire Third Academy like a hurricane.
Everyone who heard the news couldn't help but show a look of shock.
Especially now, when the Seven Syllables is about to end and the opening ceremony of the grand ceremony has begun, the news of the successful upgrade means so much.
People who don't know about Upgrade Magic will be very surprised and ask around to find out how it was done. People who know about Upgrade Magic can't help but think in their hearts, if Olenna can do it, then can they do it too?
For a moment, people were in a state of confusion and no one paid attention to the opening ceremony that was about to begin.
Tupac also saw all of this.
"Really? Phoenix's sister actually succeeded." Tupac scratched his head and said in distress, "This is going to be difficult... Hevinia won't be pushed to Daniel's side like this."
This is what Tupac cared about the most.
If Phoenix really gave up Hevinia because of Olenna, then it would be difficult for him to get close to Hevinia again. After all, he didn't have the confidence to compete with the Taichu family.
Although it is very likely that Phoenix will continue to betroth Olena to Tupac.
But how can I put it? Although they are both golden, Tupac definitely wants Hevinia's more. This is the instinct of reproduction.
Fortunately, Phoenix is now preparing for the opening ceremony, and he doesn't know that Tupac is still in the Third Academy, so he can't let Tupac leave Hevinia now, so Tupac still has room to maneuver.
Tonight, tonight!
So, when it got dark and all the students from the three colleges rushed to the auditorium to attend the opening ceremony, Tupac immediately walked towards the Forbidden Forest without letting anyone notice him.
Tupac couldn't wait.
He was worried that Hevinia might not show up for the date, so he quickened his pace involuntarily. The only sound in the forest besides the sound of the wind was the rustling sound of him crushing the dead branches and broken leaves.
He rushed to the place where he had an appointment with Hevinia as quickly as possible.
Then he saw Hevinia as he wished.
Hevinia was still wearing the black robe she wore during the day, standing quietly in the moonlight. The beauty of her tranquility and temptation made Tupac stunned for a moment.
Until Helvinia chuckled and said, "Good evening, Mr. Tupac."
The cold voice brought Tupac back to his senses from his trance, and then he smiled, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Helvinia: "Good evening, Miss Helvinia, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
"Yes." Hevinia said slowly, "After knowing that Miss Olenna had reached the gold level, I couldn't wait any longer."
Tupac's body paused: "It seems you already know?"
"Of course." Hevinia said with a smile, "Miss Olenna and I are best friends. She told me the first time."
“I see.”
"Yes." Hevinia sighed softly, "It seems that our cooperation, which has not yet officially begun, will end here. It's really a pity."
Tupac asked knowingly, "Why do you think so, Miss Hevinia?"
"Isn't it?" Hevinia said, "Miss Olenna is Mr. Phoenix's biological sister. With her, I'm naturally no longer needed. I can only go to find Mr. Daniel."
"No, no, no, Miss Hevinia, it hasn't come to that." Tupac said with a smile, "Olena did become the Golden Voice, but that doesn't mean you have to leave."
"I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Tupac. There doesn't need to be two identical scales in a band."
"That's true, but why do you assume that it was you who left?" Tupac said, "Why couldn't it be Olena who left? Even if Olena is Phoenix's biological sister, she is only one Jinyin, and you are two."
Helvinia tilted her head and asked very cutely, "I am two?"
"Yes." Tupac said the words he had prepared long ago, and said with a smile, "And me, Miss Hevinia, I am on your side. If I insist on having you, the Seventh Tone, instead of Olena, then Phoenix will have no choice but to compromise, right?"
Hevinia was very surprised: "It seems that there is no problem...but why are you helping me like this?"
"Is this even necessary? Miss Helvinia." Tupac opened his arms and walked slowly towards Helvinia, saying in a relaxed tone, "I feel like this should be obvious."
Hevinia seemed to understand something and said with a smile: "I think I understand, Mr. Tupac, you are really straightforward."
"In my opinion, beating around the bush is disrespectful to a beautiful lady like you."
"I see." Helvinia nodded slightly. "Then I really have to thank you for your kindness. However, I think your idea is a bit roundabout. I think there is a more direct way."
"A more direct approach?"
"Yes." Hevinia looked at Tupac meaningfully, "What do you think, just give me your body?"
Give me your body?
When Tupac heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, wondering if Hevinia was even more direct than him?
There is such a good thing?
Tupac almost subconsciously wanted to agree, especially when facing Hevinia's seductive eyes, he couldn't find any reason to refuse.
only.
He always felt that something was wrong.
In those beautiful and seductive eyes, Tupac seemed to read a different message.
A dangerous message.
"Click."
As Tupac's boots once again crushed the dead branches in the snow, an indescribable fear surged through his heart.
His body, which was unprepared a second ago, immediately retreated quickly as if it had touched a mine.
But it was too late. Thorny magic vines suddenly grew out from the dead branches that were crushed by Tupac, and in an instant they climbed up Tupac's thighs and bit off several bites of flesh.
"ah!"
Tupac screamed hysterically, but managed to break free from the canes.
He suddenly raised his head and stared at Hevinia: "What are you going to do?!"
"Hmm? Didn't I just say that?"
Hevinia had already taken out the staff hidden in her sleeve and pointed it at Tupac.
At the same time, the fireworks of the last day of the Seven Syllables rushed into the sky, lighting up the night and Hevinia's pupils.
"Mr. Tupac, please give me your body... or rather, your notes."
…
Inside the auditorium of the Third College.
"You seem a little distracted, Phoenix." An old man's voice woke Phoenix from his contemplation, "As the bell ringer of the ceremony, you should be more focused at this time."
Phoenix came back to his senses, looked at the old man in front of him, and then respectfully touched his chest and said, "I'm sorry, Third Dean, I was indeed a little distracted."
Gu Qi, the dean of the Third Academy, looked at Phoenix with a smile and said, "I understand you. After all, no brother would remain indifferent after learning that his sister has successfully upgraded."
"So you know that, too."
"Of course, Miss Olenna is still a student of our school after all." Gu Qi said, "She can become Jinyin, and she is also the pride of our school."
"She should be grateful for your cultivation."
"That's all. I haven't taught students for a long time." Gu Qi shook his head, and then looked around, "Where's Olenna? Hasn't she come to see you yet?"
"Not yet. She knows I'm the bell ringer and will probably wait until the opening ceremony is over before coming to see me."
"Really? I thought Olenna would resent you." Gu Qi said with a smile, "Even I know that she was very unhappy with you for giving up on her and choosing Hevinia. I think this is probably the motivation for her to work hard to upgrade."
"It's all for the family, she will understand."
"For the family...yes." Gu Qi nodded slightly, "It's amazing that the Lawrence family has prepared to this extent for the ceremony. Two Jinyins who can participate in the ceremony, it seems that no one can stop you this time, not even the Taichu family. But it's good this way. It's also a good thing to see the birth of the third Taichu family in my lifetime."
Phoenix smiled and responded, "It will be as you wish."
As time went on, more and more students entered the auditorium.
Phoenix turned his gaze to the huge clock at the top of the auditorium, which was hidden by a red curtain.
In another half an hour, he will open the curtain in the name of the young master of the Lawrence family and ring the giant bell, announcing to the world the opening of the ceremony and that... the era of the Lawrence family is about to arrive.
If there was suspense before, now, after Olenna becomes Golden Sound, the process will be unstoppable.
He turned his head, looked at the fireworks outside the window, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
…
The third college, the Forbidden Forest.
In the chaos, covered in blood and hanging in the air by countless thin threads, Tupac still took his last breath unwillingly.
Not far away, Hevinia was breathing heavily.
She held the staff in one hand, her body seemed hollowed out, and she even had difficulty standing. Her whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
but……
"It can be considered as uninjured, at least." Bai Wei said with a smile, "It's already pretty good to be able to achieve this in just a few days."
Helvinia pursed her lips.
She didn't feel good about it because the process was much more difficult than she had imagined.
In the ambush on Tupac tonight, Hevinia used the "magic circle", "silence" and "puppet strings" that Haddock used when he ambushed her a few days ago.
Bai Wei taught her this series of spells after he learned them, but she was not as skilled as Haddock in using them. Although she had the advantage of being the first to use them, she almost let Tupac run out of the range of the magic circle several times. Once he ran out of the range of the magic circle, the sound suppression would fail, and there would be more accidents.
Fortunately, Hevinia managed to eliminate Tupac at the edge of the magic circle.
Although the process was rather embarrassing and bumpy, at least the goal was achieved - without using Bai Wei's power.
Hevinia walked slowly to Tupac, looked at the lifeless Tupac, then slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked Tupac's chest.
When she withdrew her hand, a dazzling golden fifth note appeared in the golden music score on her body, which complemented the original seventh note.
Helvinia looked down at the Fifth Note.
This is different from the previous sound.
It was truly "grabbed" by Hevinia herself, rather than relying on planting dangerous trap magic in her own body, or taking advantage of the information gap when the opponent did not understand the characteristics of the Gold Chart.
Now she does have the ability to "hunt".
She was finally qualified to appear as a hunter.
Helvinia slowly clenched her fists.
But this is just the beginning.
Hevinia thought so.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming herself down a little, Hevinia put Tupac's body down and prepared to quickly dispose of it before returning to the dormitory.
Although the noise was quite loud and a lot of trees around were damaged, as long as the body was thrown into the forbidden forest, it would not be discovered in a short time.
So, Hevinia skillfully prepared to bury the body.
But at this moment, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and when she looked over subconsciously, her body tensed up instantly.
Because she saw a dark shadow sitting under a tree a few dozen meters away, looking at her quietly.
Someone!
With a "pop" sound.
Hevinia immediately raised her staff and pointed it at the shadow: "Who is it?"
The man did not respond and continued to look at her quietly.
Of course, Hevinia would not just stand there and stay there. She immediately turned on [Watch].
Then it was discovered that it was not a living person.
But a corpse.
A disfigured corpse.
…
"It's almost time." Gucci looked at Phoenix with a smile, "It's time to go on stage, Phoenix."
Phoenix glanced around the auditorium.
The auditorium was already filled with students from the Third College.
Everyone was waiting for the bell ringing ceremony to begin.
only……
Phoenix glanced around the auditorium and then frowned slightly.
Because he didn't see Olenna.
I haven't seen Olenna since I learned during the day that she had successfully upgraded.
It's not just Olenna, either.
Daniel, Helvinia and Tupac were not there, and he was the only one in the entire auditorium. Although Phoenix knew where Helvinia and Tupac had gone, it still made him feel a little weird.
But he did not show it. Instead, he nodded politely, and then, under the gaze of countless people, he walked towards the ancient clock covered by the red curtain.
Wait until the last set of fireworks is finished.
He will open the curtain himself.
…
Helvinia stood before the body at the foot of the tree.
Judging from the posture and marks on the body, it must have been hung on the tree before, and fell from the tree after being affected by the fight between Hevinia and Tupac.
If not, probably no one would have noticed him.
But who is he?
Besides Helvinia, is there anyone else killing people in the Forbidden Forest?
...Snowthorn Beast?
But could a person attacked by a snowthorn beast have such an intact body?
Strong doubts surged into Hevinia's heart, accompanied by a strong sense of uneasiness.
Hevinia slowly leaned down and quietly observed the corpse.
The body was unrecognizable and its outer clothes were gone. One could only barely judge from its body shape that it was a man, and that he had been dead for at least three days.
But who is it?
At this time, Bai Wei's voice sounded: "There is something in his underwear pocket."
Hearing this, Hevinia immediately reached out and touched the pocket of the underwear.
Sure enough, she touched a hard card, and after taking it out, she found that it was a blackened business card.
On the back of the business card was the nobility logo which was no longer legible.
So, Hevinia turned the business card over, and it was also pitch black.
Fortunately, it was just dust covering it. Hevinia placed it in the snow and wiped it gently, and the business card became clear again.
She turned the business card over again, and at that moment, the last section of the seven-syllable fireworks climbed into the sky, dyeing the night sky into day in an instant and illuminating the business card at the same time.
At that moment, Helvinia held her breath.
Fear involuntarily crept into my heart.
Because the name is,
"Daniel Ether".
…
Time is up.
The last set of fireworks was finished.
Phoenix calculated the time in his mind, and then suddenly pulled open the curtain one second before the fireworks disappeared.
The ancient red bell that symbolized the Lord of Holy Sound appeared in front of everyone.
...Wait, red?
Phoenix sensed something was wrong.
He raised his head subconsciously.
Then a naked woman was seen falling on the big bell, and the overflowing blood dyed the whole bell red.
Phoenix was in a position where he was looking directly at the woman.
His mouth opened slightly.
"Oh... Olenna..."
…
library.
Oger, who was alone here, stared blankly at the last bit of fireworks disappearing.
"Why, you're not going to attend the opening ceremony?" a gentle voice sounded.
Oger turned his head and looked at the man sitting in the corner in surprise: "Mr. Daniel, when were you there?"
"I've always been here, but you just didn't notice me." Daniel said with a smile.
Og noticed that Daniel's rolled-up sleeves were stained with blood: "Is your hand injured?"
"Hehe, it's just a scratch, don't worry." Daniel asked, "Why don't you go to the opening ceremony?"
Oger smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't go... What about you, why don't you go?"
"Me?"
Daniel lowered his head and looked at his arms with rolled-up sleeves.
On the inside of Oger's arm, which was invisible to him, a silver staff bound the bloody golden seventh note, dragging it down little by little, placing it side by side with another golden first note.
In the flickering candlelight, the notes are like mosquitoes falling into a spider web.
Daniel pulled up his sleeves and said with a smile.
"I've got what I wanted."
