Chapter 233 The First
The ceremony has begun.
Although the music played at first was just an external piece, so that it could not be heard in the dormitory, Hevinia could still feel the solemnity and dignity from the atmosphere.
And the unsettling feeling that permeated the air.
According to Bai Wei, this is the power of the Lord of Holy Sound gradually awakening.
"You already have too many parts of me in you." Bai Wei said, "So your perception of the Lord of Holy Sound is more acute than other people. When the outer song is about to end, the power of the Lord of Holy Sound will be stronger, and you will be able to perceive it more clearly."
Hevinia nodded slightly but said nothing.
"So, are you sure you want to act according to that plan?" Bai Wei asked.
"Yes," said Helvinia, "that was the best time."
"Honestly, I don't think so. I just think it's crazy." Bai Wei said, "I can indeed help you bear part of the cost, but can you really bear the rest?"
"Yes," Helvinia replied briefly.
"...If you insist on doing so." Bai Wei nodded his finger, "Then I will cooperate with you."
"thank you."
"Haha, this is for my own good anyway."
After that, Bai Wei fell silent.
And Hevinia bent over the desk, continuing to write a letter.
On her left is a napping owl, and on her right are piles of unfinished books.
Time is running out.
…
Oger sat in front of a small house, staring blankly at the falling snow outside.
"Hey, what are you doing?" a rough voice came from behind, "Have you forgotten what day it is today? Come to work quickly!"
Oger came back to his senses and hurried towards the man with the rough voice.
"You are still waiting here for a reply every day?" The man was very dissatisfied with Oger's behavior. "Don't forget that your current job was given to you by the Hailuo family. It was given to you by the eldest lady. Otherwise, you would still be a stud in the seed area. Don't be ungrateful. You should work hard to be worthy of the eldest lady!"
Oger didn't dare to talk back.
And the men didn’t know that the person who had been writing letters to Oger was their “Miss”.
They had always believed that it was Oger's lover in the academy, so they were very dissatisfied with him - everything you have was given by the eldest lady, and it would be fine if you were not grateful, but you still reply to your lover's letters every day while working for the eldest lady?
I really give you face.
Of course, they were just complaining and cursing, because Oger was working very hard in every aspect. In addition, they didn't dare to bully Oger because of the relationship with the "young lady", no matter how deep the relationship was.
And today is indeed an important day.
The ceremony is about to begin.
Although judging from the distance alone, it is difficult for them, who are far away in the seed area, to have much connection with the ceremony held in the holy mountain.
But the reason why the ceremony is said to be the most important ceremony of Shengyin is that it actually transcends distance.
During the ceremony, the melodies dedicated to the Lord of Holy Sound will be brought into the Kingdom of God by the power of the Lord, and then spread to the entire Holy Sound Land by the Lord of Holy Sound.
It’s like the holy sound of snow that never stops falling.
The melody will be hidden in the falling snowflakes, so even in the most remote areas of the Holy Sound, it is possible to hear the music dedicated to the Lord.
And those melodies are regarded as the "blessings" of the Lord of Holy Sound to mortals. The fate of those who receive this "blessing" will change.
Therefore, during the ceremony, most people would stop what they were doing, even the lowest-level male and female breeders in the seed area.
The same was true for the Heiluo family seed area where Og was located. With the help of Hevinia, he successfully avoided the fate of a stud and became a member of the Heiluo family seed area managers.
"The ceremony has begun!" the burly old man who had spoken to him earlier shouted, "Let's start listening to the holy music!"
At his call, people put down their work, walked out of their houses, knelt down in the direction of the holy mountain, folded their hands, and began to listen to the holy sound devoutly.
At this moment, it seems that everyone is equal.
But in fact, the managers of the seed area were all wearing thick cotton jackets, with a blazing bonfire next to them and countless foods placed next to the bonfire.
As for the low-level breeding stock, they either wore only single clothes or were simply naked.
They also knelt in the snow, motionless.
All this was seen by Oger.
He pursed his lips, but did not kneel down with everyone else. Instead, he took off his clothes, walked to the few children who were only a few years old closest to him, and draped his clothes over their kneeling thin bodies.
"Ogg!" The burly man saw this and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Come here!"
"Oh, here it comes. Here it comes."
Oger immediately trotted back.
At this moment, a piece of falling snow in front of his eyes quickly enlarged and eventually turned into a pure white "elf".
Oger's eyes lit up.
That's an owl.
The owl flew onto his arm and made a familiar "cooing" sound, attracting everyone's attention.
"Oh, sorry, I'll be right there after I reply to a letter." Oger noticed that the burly man's expression had become even uglier, so he stepped back and said, "I'll be right there."
Then he took the owl into the house.
"You're crazy," the burly man cursed loudly, "The ceremony is about to begin, but you're still here instead of listening to the holy music...ah, I heard it, I heard it!"
His expression lit up with joy, he shouted "I heard it", and then immediately fell to his knees.
Following his example, all the people in the seed area couldn't wait to bow down towards the holy mountain.
Only Og turned his back to the Holy Mountain and untied the letter from the owl's claws.
But there was not much joy on his face, more worry.
He could no longer remember how many letters Hevinia had sent him.
Because at the beginning, Hevinia only sent it once every few days, but now, it is once a day, or even once every half a day.
It's like being eager to get something done.
"Miss Hevinia..." Oger looked at the holy mountain that everyone was looking forward to and murmured, "Please don't be in any trouble."
…
“It’s getting closer.”
The Dean of Academic Affairs stood in front of the Hall of Eternal Notes, looking at the fire that was gradually approaching at the foot of the mountain.
After each band finishes playing, a magic torch will be lit.
Therefore, as the ceremony progresses day by day, the magic torch will move closer to the top of the mountain little by little.
Like an invisible giant, taking a step forward every day.
And every step is surrounded by music and rhythm, becoming more passionate and louder.
And when it crosses the eternal notes behind Raoul, the melody and the rhythm will reach a new peak.
It will awaken the greatest Lord of Holy Sound on this peak.
And the one who is guarding the eternal note is Raoul.
"We don't have much time, Provost."
Several old golden-tone players said to the Dean of Studies.
"We can't disrupt the ceremony."
This is also the rule.
When the last outer song ends and the first inner song starts, it means that the Lord of Holy Sound has awakened, and behind the eternal notes is the stage.
Only performers are allowed on the stage.
But in the eyes of the Lord, a faded performer is no longer a performer.
"That Caesar is still silent." The old golden-voiced player said, "Does he want to wait until the inner music starts?"
The Dean narrowed his eyes slightly.
In his heart, he had already determined that Hevinia was Caesar.
And after killing Roland, Hevinia did not take any action, as if she really intended to delay until the inner song sounded and the "gaze" of the Lord of Holy Sound fell on her.
Theoretically, players at this stage cannot do anything other than playing.
Including murder.
But this is only theoretical, so the Dean of Academic Affairs does not dare to bet whether Hevinia will abide by this rule.
After all, Hevinia had come this far, and the Dean of Academic Affairs really didn't think she would just stop like this.
But he would end it all before then.
Behind him, the four-tone tuner from the boys' dormitory was sitting there quietly, like a corpse.
The Dean of Academic Affairs gently pressed his chest.
His notes were beating in time with his heart, and the surging magic power was still rapidly increasing.
"Don't worry, I will end everything before the last moment comes."
"But what if you fail to wake him up?"
"I said it would wake me up," he said calmly, "and it will definitely wake me up."
…
"The Eternal Note is not just a decoration, it is also a powerful carrier of power. That's why we have to cross it to awaken the Lord." Anita looked at Hevinia who was writing hard in front of her and said lightly, "The Dean's idea is very simple. He will awaken the tuner just before the outer song crosses the Eternal Note, which is when the Eternal Note is the most powerful. After getting definite evidence, he can call on all the Golden Musicians who have not left to deal with that person... Caesar, in fact, under such surging magic power, as long as he wants, the whole college is under his watch. He can't hide it by just hiding."
Hevinia uttered a soft "hmm" but did not even raise her head, still writing the letter furiously.
"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all." Anita asked.
"Why should I be in such a hurry?" Hevinia said with a smile, "I'm not Caesar. Besides, didn't you say that even if this is the case, the chance of waking up the tuner is less than 30%?"
"That's the theory," Anita said calmly, "but in reality... as long as he closes the door to the Hall of Eternal Notes, then whether or not it is awakened is up to him alone, isn't it?"
"I see..." Hevinia paused for a moment, then finally raised her head and said to Anita with a smile, "It really seems like something the Dean would do."
Anita looked quietly at Hevinia's face.
After not reading any other emotions from Helvinia's face, she nodded slightly: "Yes, he will do that. Because once he fails, all his efforts over the years will be ruined. Just like the principal said, he has always been a very outstanding person, but not an outstanding performer."
After saying this, Anita stood up.
There were not many people in the dormitory now. Anita looked at Hevinia who was still writing a letter, said "Good luck to you", and turned and left.
Helvinia was still writing.
Books and letters.
Outside the window, the snow is still falling.
The sun rises and sets.
The cold wind was howling, but was suppressed by the gradually approaching melody.
The raging snowstorm is mixed with the rhythm of the holy sound.
The powerful god who appeared once every twenty years seemed to have whispered that he was about to awaken in the devout prayers from the entire holy sound.
Hevinia could clearly feel that every note in her body was vibrating unrestrainedly.
But she remained unmoved and continued to write letter after letter alone under the small window.
It was as if the world that was about to turn upside down had nothing to do with her.
Until the sun was about to be swallowed by darkness again, when the uplifting music roared in her ears like a beast, Hevinia stopped writing.
She collected the letters one by one and tied them to the claws of the three owls in front of her, but did not let them fly away immediately. Instead, she took out feed from her pocket and fed them in her palm.
Only after the last grain of food had been pecked did she open the window and let the three owls out.
The three small figures were like drifting snow, and could be crushed by the strong wind at any time.
But they are not snow after all, and will not fall with the snow. Instead, they flutter their seemingly weak shoulders and disappear in the wind.
Also disappeared from Hevinia's sight.
After doing all this, Hevinia slowly closed the window.
"Mr. Visas, I'm ready."
She said so.
There was no familiar voice in her mind, but the slightly trembling fingers still responded to her.
Then Hevinia straightened her wrinkled clothes and picked up the staff that had become a little cold in her hand.
Turn around and go out.
…
Grunt.
There was only one boy and one girl in the small classroom.
The man was chewing something while looking at the woman in front of him.
The woman felt frightened by the extremely invasive look, but she dared not move.
Because she knew that if she resisted, the consequences would be even worse.
Karen Chuke's personality has become even more violent since he lost his fingers.
But after losing several Jin Yins in succession, both the Phoenix family and the Chuke family valued Jin Yin, whom they had always looked down upon, more, which made him become even more aggressive.
After finishing the food in her mouth, Karen's mouth was full of oil.
He looked at the woman in front of him with undisguised desire in his eyes.
This was the woman he had specially found, who somewhat resembled that annoying guy.
Then he grinned.
The woman closed her eyes in despair.
Then she heard a female voice.
"Kneel down."
Before her brain could react, her body had already moved unconsciously and she fell to her knees.
...Wait, what's going on?
There was another roar, and the wall of the classroom suddenly cracked, and the howling cold wind rushed in with unstoppable force.
Because she was kneeling, she couldn't see anything. She only heard a roar from Karen beside her, and at the same time, a surge of magic power gushed out from Karen.
But it only lasted less than a second.
There was a crisp sound of snapping fingers.
Karen was silent.
In the howling cold wind, the woman seemed to hear the sound of a sickle being swung.
Then the woman saw a round object falling in front of her.
It was Karen's head.
She was stunned for a moment, then fainted.
Hevinia stepped over the woman's body, then looked at Karen, whose head and body were already separated, and spoke softly.
“The first one.”
