Chapter 226 The Fourth Sound is in Hand
Hevinia sat by the window, quietly watching the slowly setting sun.
She had been planning for this day for a whole month.
During this month, she used various means to learn about this academy, and finally took action last night, attacking three hidden mountain guards and creating the illusion of Caesar's invasion.
This is not only to find a scapegoat for his subsequent actions, but also to expose the Jin Yin who has not appeared yet.
For example, the Dean of Academic Affairs and a school doctor named Roland. If she hadn't used this method, she really wouldn't have found out that these two players who were obviously over the age limit were also going to participate in the grand ceremony.
And if Hevinia really followed the original plan and only attacked Phoenix and Karen, then no matter how secretive her actions were, everyone would definitely place the primary suspicion on her who was in the same team.
As for the fact that this made all the Jinyins alert, there was nothing that could be done about it.
As for their response strategy...
Hevinia looked at the soul chain on her wrist, and then asked in her heart: "Mr. Visas, do you have a way to solve this?"
"Okay." Bai Wei returned to his brief answer.
Hevinia nodded and said no more. After taking another look at the sky, she picked up her pen and began to write a letter.
This is a letter to Ogden, and next to it is an open book.
"To be honest, although the methods I wrote to you are all excerpts directly from ancient books, I don't know how effective they are. There are indeed very few cases of damaged notes being restored, but I still hope you can not give up. After all... what if?"
"So, please read the knowledge I wrote to you carefully, just like you did in the academy, and take it seriously. Once you give up, then you really have no chance at all. So, cheer up, remember this taboo, the knowledge that is not passed on to others, and understand it well. Only then will you know what you can get."
"The knowledge I want to bring to you today is a fragment from "The Rise of Taichu". Please write it down:..."
"…That's all. I don't have much time every day, and I can't take these books with me, so this is the only way I can help you. I hope it helps."
"By the way, that guy named Caesar is very likely to come to the First Academy again. But don't worry, he already has the Seventh Note, so I won't be his target... I hope so. To be honest, I'm still very worried. So I should go to bed early tonight so that I can get through the night quickly."
"But I don't know if I can fall asleep. You know, my mental state has not been very good. If I really can't fall asleep, I think I should go to the study room to read a book and order a piece of apple pie to spend the night. Anyway, the ceremony is approaching, and there are always many performers in the study room who stay up all night. It's better to be with them than to stay in the room alone, right?"
After I finished writing, the sun had completely set and darkness swallowed the world.
Hevinia lit a candle and placed the letter, which she had just written and the ink stains were still wet, next to the candle.
This is an insurance policy.
In case something went wrong with tonight's operation and she failed to get back on time, and someone broke into her room, she wanted to make sure the other person saw the letter first.
In this way, even if that person found that she was no longer in the room, he would subconsciously think that she went to the study room based on this letter.
Although it is not certain that someone will break into her room, it is never a bad idea to have a backup plan.
Then Helvinia put on her clothes and took up her staff.
Just as she was about to go out, Bai Wei's voice rang in her mind.
"If your target is that guy, then I must remind you again that I can only remain silent in that area. Everything will be left to your own judgment."
"Of course, if necessary, I will remind you as I did before, so be careful to distinguish."
Hevinia nodded slightly, then pushed the door open and walked out.
…
Roland Ether looked at the sky that had completely darkened, and then said calmly: "I say, you don't have to follow me all the time, right?"
Behind him stood an old man in a gray robe.
After hearing his words, the old man replied: “Master, the situation is too dangerous now. We have already lost Master Daniel, and we absolutely cannot lose you again. Please understand.”
"I understand you, but who can understand me?" Roland looked at the old man. "The ceremony will not start for another month. Do you plan to stick to me like this for the rest of the month?"
“This is the safest way.”
"Why do I feel that this is the most dangerous?" Roland said coldly, "In this academy, except for a few people, no one knows that I am from the Ether family, and no one knows that I am Jin Yin. But you guys are surrounding me like this, aren't you announcing my identity to everyone in the academy?"
"this……"
"Besides, I have work to do, don't I?" Roland said. "You'll scare away my food."
Hearing Roland's words, the old man immediately hesitated: "Master, you haven't finished yet? There is only one month left. If it's already..."
"What if I've finished it now?" Roland looked into the old man's eyes. "Who knows what kind of changes will happen in a month? What if this month of fasting caused the fading? What about this grand ceremony? Daniel is gone. Are we going to give up completely? Will you take on this responsibility?"
The old man naturally did not dare to take responsibility. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
"Okay, Master, we will be guarding you outside. Of course, we will be far away so that no one will notice us."
"It's better not to."
Roland said this coldly, then left quickly and walked towards a small building a hundred meters away.
The old man saluted Roland's back and slowly retreated into the darkness.
…
After entering the small house, Roland immediately put on a friendly expression and smiled at a girl who had been waiting in the room.
"It's been a long time, Connie."
Connie stood up immediately, looking a little shy: "No, Dr. Roland, I just got here too."
"Haha, don't be so polite, just lie down, as usual." Roland pointed to the bed in front of him.
Connie nodded repeatedly, and then lay down on the bed in the room.
"How are you? How are you feeling these days?" Roland asked. "Do you still feel like the notes are fading?"
"It's still a little bit, doctor." Connie asked gently, "Are my symptoms a little serious?"
"There are some problems." Roland said with a smile, "But don't worry, I will try my best to cure you."
Looking at Roland's handsome and kind face, Connie blushed again: "Thank you, Dr. Roland."
"This is my job. There's no need to be polite." Roland patted the back of Connie's hand soothingly. "Okay, go to sleep as usual. When you wake up, the treatment will be over."
"Please, Dr. Roland." Connie's voice gradually became softer, because a strong sense of sleepiness was rising in her heart. She murmured, "I have been selected by the Neiqu Orchestra, I can't fade... I still have to participate in the ceremony."
Roland looked at Connie's eyes that were gradually closing and gently comforted her, "Of course, everything is for the ceremony."
After Connie fell asleep completely, the smile on Roland's face slowly disappeared.
Then, he took out a hose as usual and slowly took off Connie's clothes, exposing the beautiful silver musical notes painted on her body to the air.
Then he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his golden musical notes.
However, his brilliant and gorgeous golden voice had a dullness that was completely inconsistent with the overall tone, as if it had faded.
So Roland connected one side of the hose to Connie's note and the other side to the dark part of his own note.
The magic leaps and the music plays.
Silver gas emerged from the hose and flowed from Connie's end to Roland.
Connie, who was in a coma, let out a low cry of pain and her body began to tremble involuntarily.
Roland leaned back in his chair, slowly closed his eyes, and hummed softly.
Under this transmission, Connie's notes darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the dim part of Roland's notes was slowly regaining its color.
"Yes, that's it, that's it." Roland murmured softly, "I can't fade away yet, I can't fade away yet..."
Roland has graduated for almost ten years.
Ten years ago, he was also the pride of this academy, a renowned golden sound player, and one of the two great masters of Taichu, Ether. No one could match his status and strength.
But unfortunately, there were no grand ceremonies in the era he lived in.
It was a grand ceremony that happened once every twenty years, and he was right in the middle.
This made him extremely unwilling.
Although he tried hard to maintain the color of the notes, devoted himself to research, stayed away from women, and did not do anything that would harm his body, just for the music, trying to delay the fading time like the principal, not to mention twenty or thirty years, even ten years, as long as he could participate in a ceremony, he would be satisfied.
Unfortunately, he failed to do so.
Five years ago, he felt he couldn't hold on any longer.
No matter how hard he tried, his notes decayed and faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If this is the case, he won't be able to last another five years.
Therefore, Roland turned his attention to some special methods, which is the one he is using now - color enhancement.
To put it simply, it means transferring the color of other players of the same age to yourself.
But this method is not that simple.
Because the best object for enhancing color is the same scale, that is, the golden tone enhances the golden tone.
But this is essentially from the left hand to the right hand, sacrificing the color of a golden tone of appropriate age to enhance the color of another golden tone that is no longer appropriate for age, and this process also involves loss.
Therefore, basically no Golden Sound would use this method, and the Ether family would not support him in doing so. After all, even among the two Taichu families, Golden Sound players are not available in bulk.
Therefore, Roland could only turn his attention to the Silver Sound Player.
But if the Silver Sound Player wants to enhance the Golden Sound Player, it is definitely not a one-to-one match. It needs ten to one, or even twenty to one, or thirty to one. And as the Golden Sound Player grows older, the cost will become higher and higher.
Even if the Ether Family could afford this price, they would definitely not be willing to pay it.
After trying countless times and failing to get his family's approval, Roland had no choice but to fend for himself - he returned to the academy and became a musical note doctor under an assumed name.
Because only one academy has more massive player resources than the Ether family.
In this way, Roland successfully delayed his notes for five years, until now, when the ceremony would begin in one month.
Of course, the help of the Ether family was indispensable, but more of it was due to Roland's own efforts.
He hid his real name and pretended to be an ordinary silver sound player, just to mingle with those players who had no talent and lure them to come to him for treatment.
This is not an easy thing to do.
For a genius like him, getting along with mediocre people is simply torture.
Fortunately, the torture is about to end.
The gas in the hose became increasingly scarce, Connie's notes became dim, and Roland's previously dull parts began to glow again.
Roland slowly opened his eyes, his blue pupils revealing excitement.
One month left.
There is only one month left.
He let out a long breath, ignored Connie who was shaking in pain on the hospital bed, and slowly got up and put on his clothes.
A month later, he was able to make his voice heard by the Lord as well.
Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
But the smile only lasted for less than a second before disappearing.
Because he saw a slim female figure standing behind the door.
He was looking at the shadow, and the shadow was looking at him.
"Who are you……"
Roland opened his lips slightly, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He immediately grabbed the staff that was on the bedside table.
But as soon as his fingers touched the staff, it immediately broke into several pieces.
A black string shot out from the staff, whistling through the air, cutting off Roland's fingers and quickly wrapping around his body.
This made Roland realize that the other party had already set an ambush.
But how did she do it?!
This is a college!
This is the place closest to the Lord!
Even the servants of the Ether family were not far away outside!
How dare she?! How did she do it?!
Even though he was shocked and angry, Roland did not give up. Although his staff was destroyed and he could not cast many music spells, he knew that as long as he made some noise, the people outside would definitely see it and rush in to save him.
Moreover, he has a bracelet!
Roland endured the pain and injected magic power into the bracelet.
Sure enough, a dazzling red light burst out from the bracelet.
But more eye-catching.
It's the one opposite.
Roland was stunned when he saw the same light burst out from the black shadow's wrist.
"How is it possible?!" He widened his eyes, "You are..."
Before he could finish his words, Roland, who was retreating continuously, suddenly felt his feet empty, as if he had stepped into a trap, and his whole body was lifted up.
A Rubik's Cube trapped him.
【Pentatone·Magic Cube】
The Rubik's Cube turns gently.
Roland's body was torn into pieces.
It turned out to be a five-tone music spell.
Is it instant?
How is it possible...
Roland tried hard to turn his twisted neck, and then found that he was surrounded by one miniature Rubik's Cube after another. No matter which direction he walked or which one he touched, it would immediately become like this.
So that's how it is. This guy has arrived a long time ago.
Roland was enjoying his food, and he had arrived here even earlier.
But she never took any action, but just prepared silently, and only started hunting after Roland had "eaten and drunk enough".
At this moment, an indescribable anger surged in my heart.
Do you think I'm food?!
How is that possible!
Roland's eyes burst into a final burst of madness.
The bracelet burst out with powerful energy again, and then quickly turned into a fire snake, spreading towards Roland's notes.
Only the weak become food, like the guy in the bed!
He would never allow himself to become someone else's food! Even if it meant death!
Roland roared wildly and took the initiative to move his body towards the fire snake with its fangs bared.
then.
With a "pop" sound.
A crisp snap of fingers.
The fire snake suddenly disappeared into the void.
Roland's final madness came to a standstill.
In his dying moments, he watched the woman walk out of the darkness and slowly reach out her hand to him.
Like a butcher with his machete raised.
The fourth sound, got it.
