Chapter 234 How on earth did you survive to this day? (5K)
Ulysses suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the old tree outside the house swaying in the strong wind. The bells on the tree played an uplifting melody.
"She really did it."
Ulysses chuckled.
"Just as you expected." Anita, who was waiting nearby, said, "She is indeed a bold and crazy person."
"Yes." Ulysses said with a smile, "In thousands of years, this is the first time that an original genealogy has come this far. Regardless of the outcome, she has already made history."
"But I think she should stop here." Anita said, "Tonight, she is against the entire Shengyin."
"Haha." Ulysses laughed, "Those people can't represent the entire Shengyin, but you are right, the trouble she will face is indeed not small, especially with Raoul, but..."
He paused.
"Great works are more likely to be born in desperate situations, aren't they?"
After hearing this, Anita was silent for a while, and then nodded slowly.
"I understand." She stood up. "I will bear witness for you. Tonight... please leave everything to me, Principal."
Ulysses smiled and nodded.
"Thank you so much, Anita."
…
Todd felt uneasy.
Although he couldn't explain the reason, he had been feeling that something big was going to happen since the beginning.
Of course, tonight itself was eventful.
The last outer song will end in the early hours of tonight, and tomorrow the first inner song will begin. And they, the real performers, will come on stage to sing praises to the great Lord of Voices.
Logically, he should be happy.
It's not just because he will be the main performer, but also because their biggest rival in this ceremony, the Lawrence family, has actually lost its competitiveness and can no longer compete for the first place.
In this way, the status of the two Taichu families will not be shaken.
And his annoying brother couldn't make any waves after he lost the chance of winning.
It should be a double blessing.
But why couldn't he be happy?
Is it because of the "Xize" who has never been caught?
That is indeed a hidden danger, but theoretically speaking, he should have no chance.
As long as tonight passes, the inner and outer songs will be connected, and the Lord's gaze will be cast on the earth, and he will never have another chance to take action.
Even if he didn't take action, he would have no way to continue hiding, because the Dean of Studies had already made preparations at the Eternal Note. Once the Dean of Studies completed the ceremony, he would no longer have the capital to continue hiding.
So, theoretically speaking, running away is his best option.
Anyway, he has already collected so many sounds. Even if he does not participate in the ceremony and leaves Shengyin directly, he can live well in various places with that power. There is no need to jump into this dead end.
To put it another way, even if that guy just refuses to give up and wants to fight one last time, there is no need for Todd to worry too much.
Not only because he was surrounded by several golden tone players sent by the family, but also because Todd's tone was the third tone. According to intelligence, that guy already had the third tone, so there was no reason to attack him.
Well…there was no reason for him to do that to himself.
Todd kept comforting himself.
Unfortunately, it was of little use. When he reached the door of the practice room, he stopped and turned to ask the servant: "What time is it now?"
"It's eight o'clock," the servant replied. "In less than an hour, Provost Raoul will begin the ceremony."
Only one hour left?
So far, there has been no movement from that guy.
It seems that he has really given up.
Todd thought so, and then pushed open the door of the practice room.
Then I smelled a strong smell of blood.
He was stunned for a moment and raised his head subconsciously.
He saw a beautiful girl standing in a pool of blood, staring at him quietly.
…
"She's already started!"
"There are at least three witnesses who can prove it, and it's Hevinia!"
"Karen Chuck and Evan Dely are dead!"
"Todd Chuke was seriously injured after a confrontation with her, and she is still chasing Mr. Todd!"
In the Eternal Ceremony, Raoul listened to the continuous reports from the school workers while looking up at the magnificent eternal notes in front of him.
Even though he tried hard to remain calm, his trembling eyebrows still exposed his current mood.
"Mr. Phoenix." He turned his head and looked at Phoenix who was sitting next to him. "Tell me, what exactly does she want to do? As far as I know, she already has the notes of Karen, Evan and Todd. Why would she attack them at this time?"
"Mr. Dean." Phoenix's expression was also not very good. He shook his head and said with a wry smile, "If I could understand, do you think I would still be here?"
Yes, the current situation was completely beyond Raoul's expectations.
You know, Raoul had already made preparations to prevent Hevinia from making a last-ditch effort, and he gathered around himself the note that she was sure was missing - the second note.
That is the female two-note player from the Phoenix and Ether families.
If Hevinia wants to collect all seven notes, she must come here and capture one of the two notes.
But then Hevinia would have to face Raoul.
If he didn't come, Raoul would complete the ritual, receive the power of the Eternal Note, and go directly to the academy to find and kill her.
Unless she escaped, Raoul could not think of a third possibility. So Raoul made all the necessary preparations, even deploying most of the school's Golden Sound school workers here.
But now, her third option came.
"Is this guy planning to kill all the Jinyins?" Raoul said softly.
At this time, the waiting school workers stood up and said to Raoul: "Dean, we can't wait here any longer. That girl is crazy! She wants to kill all the Jinyins and prevent us from completing the ceremony!"
This is indeed what seems the most likely thing at the moment.
But after a little thought, Raoul shook his head.
"No, judging from what she has done, she is a very rational person. She has been planning for so long, she would not choose to self-destruct at this time." Raoul said, "She wants to force us back, or she doesn't want to see me complete the ritual... Yes, that's for sure."
Raoul believed in his own judgment and said to his men.
"At times like this, we must not be led by the nose. We don't know what hidden power she has. If we rashly return to the academy to find her, the uncontrollable situation will be too high. The safest way is to wait for me to complete the ritual."
The janitors looked at each other, and then asked, "How long will it take you?"
Raoul checked the time: "Less than forty minutes."
"Forty minutes? Are we going to wait here for another forty minutes?" the janitor said, "Master Todd is still being hunted! Are we going to wait here?!"
Raoul's frown deepened.
He knew things were going to get difficult.
Because most of the capable school workers under him came from the two great families of Taichu.
Therefore, they are more loyal to their family than to the academy.
Thinking of this, Raoul realized that he couldn't rush, so he tried to speak in a calm tone, "There are only forty minutes, how much can she do? The alarm has been sounded, and the other golden sounds will naturally be alert. So far, only Karen and Evan have been attacked by her, and they didn't have any guards to begin with, but they were caught off guard because they thought Hevinia already had the corresponding notes and would not attack them. Didn't Mr. Todd survive? Although the situation looks bad, please remember that the more times like this, the more you must not lose your composure."
After Raoul emphasized it again, the janitors began to hesitate.
"Don't think too highly of her. If she really had that ability, she should have come here right now." Raoul continued to comfort his men. "She didn't do that, which only shows that her strength is still limited. It's just that she has more musical notes and was hiding in the dark at the beginning, so she has some advantages. As long as the people who stayed in the academy come to their senses, she won't be able to cause any trouble."
Raoul's well-reasoned explanation gradually calmed the school workers.
Indeed, that woman was just a person after all.
It is really a pipe dream for one person to challenge the two Taichu families that have been passed down for thousands of years.
In this case, the safest way is indeed...
"Bang"!
The door of the Hall of Eternal Notes was pushed open again.
An old, blood-stained Silver Sound player rushed in straight away, and then fell down in front of everyone's gaze.
"This is...Quil?!"
"It's really Quill!"
"Damn it, isn't this guy protecting Master Todd?"
The janitor of the Chuke family immediately rushed over and pulled Quill up.
"Quil?! Quill how are you?!"
"Don't ask how he is! What about the master, how is Master Todd!?"
Quill's eyes were blank, as if he had lost his mind, and he just kept repeating a few words.
"Master... please save... Master..."
After hearing these words, Raoul realized that the situation he had managed to stabilize was about to get out of control again.
As expected, the school workers belonging to the Chu Hakka family stood up immediately.
"Mr. Dean, we can't wait any longer." One of the school workers said to Raoul, "We have already lost Master Cullen tonight, and we cannot lose Master Todd again. Maybe your plan is good, but we can't accept such a price."
Although he had guessed that they would make such a choice, Raoul still sighed and tried to speak in a commanding tone: "What if I, as the Dean of the Academy, order you to stay here and protect me?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dean." The janitor bowed to Raoul, but his words were extremely cold. "You don't have such an identity."
As soon as these words came out, Raoul's expression immediately became gloomy.
However, this new Hakka janitor did not explain anything and immediately left with other new Hakka janitors.
Then came the Ether family.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dean. You know, we lost Master Daniel in the Third Academy, and we lost Master Roland a month ago." The janitor of the Ether family also said, "Even the Ether family can't afford the loss of a generation of golden musicians."
He then left with his people.
As a result, there were less than a quarter of the musicians left in the hall, including the orchestra responsible for the first inner song and Phoenix and his people.
Silence, a long silence.
Raoul stood quietly under the eternal note. Although his expression did not change much, the oppressive feeling still made those present feel breathless.
The moment before, he seemed like the new master of this academy, and everyone in Taichu and the other two schools had to obey his orders.
But at this moment, everything returned to the starting point.
"I didn't expect that." He said softly, "After so many years, the two Taichu families are still like this, without any improvement. No wonder the principal has always looked down on them. Don't you think so, Phoenix?"
Raoul seemed to be chatting with Phoenix, but Phoenix did not dare to talk to him casually, because he could feel that Raoul at this moment was like a lion who was suppressing his rage, and he did not want to offend him at this time.
Fortunately, Raoul still endured it, because he knew that getting angry at this time would be useless and would only bring more uncertainty.
"A long time ago, the principal once told me that a qualified performer should not be affected by anyone or anything, and should just focus on his own path." Raoul walked towards the tuner who was placed in the center of the hall and put his hand on his shoulder. "Remember this, Mr. Phoenix, it is the truth."
Phoenix nodded slightly: "I will remember it."
Raoul smiled, obviously adjusted his mood.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you tonight," he said calmly, "I can promise you that."
"Of course, Dean." Phoenix replied with a smile, "I believe you."
That's not exactly a compliment, but it's not particularly accurate either.
Phoenix did believe it, but the person he believed in was not Raoul, but the Lord of Holy Sound.
As time went by, they could gradually hear the melody of the last external song.
The melody gradually entered the hall and had already lit up the outermost eternal notes.
The performers present also felt that the notes in their bodies were involuntarily responding to this power.
The Lord of Holy Sound is about to wake up.
He was awakened by the wind of music that occurs once every twenty years, and came to enjoy this grand ceremony that belonged only to him.
But before that,
This wind belongs to Raoul.
He stood in the center of the formation, feeling the power symbolizing the Lord of Holy Sound seeping into his body through every pore. His strength and sense of touch were rapidly extending.
The music of every player in the hall is so clearly visible.
The never-fading notes above the hall seemed to be held in his hands.
This is... the power of the Lord.
Raoul clenched his fists little by little.
It's almost done.
At this moment, he is... huh?
In Raoul's peripheral vision, a figure rushed out from the orchestra of the first inner song, and then rushed straight towards him.
...Helvetia?! When did she come in?!
Raoul hadn't even seen clearly yet, but his body had already reacted instinctively. He immediately took out his staff and pointed it at the other party.
A beam of light shot out from the staff.
He knocked the opponent flying in an instant, and he fell into the eternal notes like a fallen leaf, with blood spilling all over the ground.
"Haha, is this the target?" Raoul narrowed his eyes slightly, and then slowly walked towards the figure that was knocked away, "Although I don't know how you got in, but..."
Halfway through his words, his pupils suddenly condensed, and then he immediately turned around and pointed his staff at Phoenix who was not far away.
Phoenix's attention had always been on Raoul. When he saw him suddenly turn around and point his staff at him, he was shocked and didn't know why Raoul attacked him.
No, there was no reason for Raoul to attack him.
The only possibility is...
He turned his head suddenly and saw a pair of cold eyes and a magic sickle that was swinging down quickly.
With a "puff" sound.
Phoenix's entire chest was ripped apart.
…
"Tick, tick." "Tick."
Blood dripped from his chest onto the ground.
Phoenix was breathing heavily, his eyes full of fear.
Just a little bit, just a little bit.
The Grim Reaper's scythe almost took him away.
If it weren't for Raoul's quick reaction, he would be a corpse now.
"Okay, Mr. Phoenix, let your people take you away from here first." Raoul stood in front of him, looking at Hevinia who was transforming her staff into a sickle with magic not far away, "Leave the rest to me."
Phoenix opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
The Lawrence family immediately helped him up and walked towards the exit of the hall.
During this time, Phoenix looked up at Hevinia.
Until now, Phoenix found it hard to believe that the other party would be the green tea girl whom he always thought was harmless.
Those eyes, especially the left eye, only looked into his eyes for a moment before he lost the courage to fight against him.
Why...is this happening?
Obviously they are the Lawrence family,
He should be the protagonist of this grand ceremony.
What did they do wrong?
Phoenix wanted to scream, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood kept gushing out. In the end, he couldn't even make a sound and was dragged out like a dead dog.
Helvinia and Raoul were the only ones left in the field.
"Although I would like to commend you for your fighting style of transforming musical notes and staffs into weapons to avoid induction."
Raoul opened his mouth slowly. With the help of the eternal notes, his perception ability was further enhanced. He could even clearly feel every resonance of Hevinia's notes, every beat of her heart, and even every breath.
So he had doubts.
"How on earth did this body of yours..." He looked into Helvinia's eyes, "stay alive until now?"
