Chapter 155: The Silent Arrival (22): The Sound of Gray (Central)
"'Elysia' is a very ancient style of music. The legend comes from the dream of a Bascelius in the central empire." Fansuo said with interest.
He calmly placed the painting tool in his hand in the middle of a circular symbol on the ground of the altar, stretched out a finger, as if he had completely ignored the weight of the shackles in his hand, and placed it on his head to make continuous circles.
"What I want to play is an adaptation, softening Cruzde's style, the exotic atmosphere of living in the extreme cold realm." Evante did not intend to have a deep exchange with Vansuo for more content in the music and art fields.
First, he only had a little understanding of music. In addition to a little pitiful history, more explanations and analysis of music in his mind were copied by many palace musicians, as well as the papers of several old professors in the School of Art of the Shnetsk.
Secondly, the music he was about to play was nothing more than mechanical memory, forcibly remembering the order of pressing the keys. For the music itself, it seemed that his heart did not have the sense of picture and touching feeling as imagined.
"Don't you want to hear this story? I'll just take you a few minutes, Mr. Evante. I remember your teacher Aaron said that the last time you entered that field was short and didn't remember much. And if you know more about the history of this track, you can touch the power of the upper class professional hidden in the 'Dream' that is hard to easily use, so that you can remember everything that happened."
"Are you talking about the characteristics of dreams, the 'Grey Dream'? It's interesting." Evant's mouth twitched unnaturally, making it difficult for others to tell whether he was angry or had some interest.
"It is difficult for the 'Grey Dream' to enter the 'Grey Dream' without the help of the magic source power, the heralds, and the upper class profession. Even if you are lucky enough to enter, the existence of non-Grey Professions will quickly forget everything you see after 'Wake up'. Therefore, in the legend, the apostle of the Lord of the Dark Night forcibly accepted a soldier into the 'Grey Dream', and when he was about to send him away, he did not forget to remind him to record what he heard as soon as possible. Therefore, Mr. Evante, if you can understand this historical story related to the dream and this song, I believe you will not fall into the pain of amnesia." Fansuo explained in a sincere tone.
"I would like to hear the details." Ivant nodded.
"Legendly, this Basceleus was named Constantine. In that nightmare, he came to a world similar to our current continent. According to the whisper of an old god in the dream, he learned that the dream era was also an era of 'man being discovered'. But his empire was only left with a capital fortress, and several mountain strongholds just recovered by the sea."
"When he looked around, he was surprised to find that there were only more than 10,000 soldiers under his command in purple battle robe. The Ertuman army besieged the capital was as high as 100,000. They had 'high copper cannons' and countless sailing warships. In desperation, he chose to explore south along the colony of the new continent opened by humans in the northern ice field to find a new continent."
"New World? It's indeed an interesting topic. But it's hard to say whether there is such a field in our world. After all, along the ocean, you will be swallowed up by hurricanes, and ships sailing eastward in the Fire Empire will often lose their traces.
I believe that our planet is not necessarily the core of the universe, nor is it surrounded by the sun, but it must be a sphere, and there will always be technology that can achieve global navigation." Evant did not forget to show off his not-so-profound scientific knowledge.
"After," Vansuo paused for a moment, walked straight along the ground to a position less than two meters away from Evante. He looked up and stared at Evante's semi-purple eyes with his gray eyes, and continued to tell:
"The Barthullius dreamed that he had come to a new world called America, and he seemed to have spent more than two hundred years there. The weapons he brought similar to the "Central Fire" and the books of the "Great Library" played an important role. When this wandering kingdom became a normal country, under the guidance of the Lord, he named the kingdom of Elysia.
Then he woke up, and when he stood up facing the rising sun, he realized that he had just been taking a nap on the wooden bed with purple patterns engraved with purple patterns. But the memory of this moment was too deep, too psychedelic, and too wonderful, so he remembered them, wrote them down, and passed them down.
Sometimes when I read this story, I think about it, is it a dream of Barcelona rebuilding the country, or is it the dream of the long-lived emperor of the 'Elysian Empire'?"
"I seem to understand the meaning of this story." Evante looked up affectionately at a beam of moonlight that penetrated from the skylight of the metal wall, and said:
"I should pay attention to what is worth remembering, and only then can I remember it. The same is true in the 'Dream of Gray', I need to capture the key information I need. Speaking of this story, I think of a great philosophical speculative proposition of the Fire Empire."
"Is it a wise man who turns into a butterfly in his dream, or a butterfly turns into a wise man in his dream? It's interesting, interesting."
Crown Prince Ivant couldn't help but clap and praise.
But immediately afterwards, he quickly put away his affectionate face and replaced it with a cold expression, as if it was the top of the incandescent ice field that would not melt for thousands of years, and said to Fansuo:
"Fansuo, you have the upper level of the magic power of light, right? As the main cardinal of the Dark Night Church, your power actually belongs to light. Yes, darkness and light have never been an opposing existence, but a product of balance. When I play the music later, I need the blessing of your magic power, and there are two styles, especially the music that focuses on exploring the "Sound of Confusion" of the Gods, no one has tried it in front of the lost. You should not give up this rare opportunity."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Of course not, Mr. Ivante, I would rather serve you. After all, my current magic source power can only be used 5% under the metal bound of the "Annihilation" material. This power cannot even be damaged by a strong empire without magic source power." Fansuo nodded and agreed.
Immediately after stopping the dissuasion of Kiowksky and Aaron, Ivant stepped forward toward the golden piano located in the center of the altar, near the geometric pattern covered by darkness.
As he clapped five times in a row, a bright "headlight" on the top, powered by a limited-production diesel generator, shone into his position.
After the light was in place, he sat gracefully on a seat covered with leather made of "Silent Fight", and stroked his hands on a piano with golden luster, with white and gold intertwined as the background, and covered with wheat ear patterns.
Then, he lifted the cover of the piano and began to play a music called "Elysia: Dream" according to the order of the buttons he remembered.
The rhythm of the music begins to be very gentle, making people feel as if they are in the vast and majestic starry sky, with gorgeous, brilliant stars floating above their heads, and the bright moon shining around Ivant's body.
After a melody, the music begins to become rapid and then solemn.
At this moment, Fansuo crossed his hands and muttered a spell composed of the ancient Nirvana Empire, and began to surging the magic source power belonging to the light in his body and began to form spirits.
A second later, bright ribbon-like light appeared around Vansuo and his body and Ivante's body at the same time, as well as particulate golden "Mars".
As the music advances toward the climax, the endless "Mars" gradually evolves into a firework that seems to never bloom. They intertwined, jumped, rotated, and finally gathered completely in Ivant's body.
At the same time, Ivant's body seemed to be covered with a circle of golden mist. In the few seconds when the climax part was about to end, the mist formed a strangely squirming mirror with a border.
Finally, after the bright light like the sun burst into bursts, the prince of the Sunny Empire, Ivante, disappeared.
"Your Highness?"
The first to get rid of the vaguely leading state of music was the Imperial General Kaiwuxky.
He trotted forward, supported the edge of the altar with his hands, easily climbed over the guardrail, quickly reached Fansuo, and questioned:
"Where has Your Highness gone? You said, is this a conspiracy of your Dark Night Church? I remember that you talked to Your Highness alone for half an hour a few days ago. Have you deceived him?"
"Silly human." Fansuo did not show any respect to Kaiwuxky, but cursed him in disdain.
"Damn it!" Kaiwuxky also cursed with a more severe stern swear.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the "Imperial Card" pistol exclusive to the Imperial General from his waist without hesitation, and put the bullets on it, aimed it at Fansuo's head and pulled the trigger.
Click!
The crisp sound of the shell was heard throughout the space through the echo of the empty environment, and also pulled the surrounding imperial soldiers and Aaron back to the completely clear reality.
"Don't do stupid things, Kaiwuxky. You don't understand the power of magic and extraordinary things. Your behavior just now was to murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you understand?" Aaron said, quickly rushing from the stairs next to him towards Kaiwuxky, and snatched his pistol.
"Your Highness disappeared. Is this planned? Also, this pistol has been with me for twenty years, and today is the first time I get stuck. What is the reason?" Kaiwuxky asked in confusion.
"'Grey Dream', Your Highness entered the 'Grey Dream'. He did not tell you that it was because you did not understand anything related to the magic source power. The 'Mysterious Sound' is the loser, and the light magic source power is the magic source power that can shake the 'reason' and produce defensive ability. So, what we have to do now is wait here, that's all."
"waiting?"
...
When the music was playing to the climax just now, the Crown Prince Ivant felt the ultimate, as if "MB-001: The Sun of Scarlet" was wrapping him with such a trembling warmth.
Then, he saw the golden mist wrapping him completely, causing him to fall into a hazy state.
After a few seconds, everything around him completely receded. Not only did the fog not subside, it became more and more intense and felt a rich sense of weightlessness, which made him feel "confused" and at a loss.
A few minutes later, a little gap appeared in the thick fog.
Looking through the gap, it is an endless "ocean" composed of stars and darkness, and he seems to be in a vast universe.
Immediately afterwards, a ripple appeared in the center of the universe and spread outward.
However, the place where the ripples touched quickly turned into a fragmented product.
Finally, everything returned to silence, and after all the fog disappeared, the familiar feeling of standing on the earth returned to Ivant's feet.
After a difficult time when he was almost mentally broken by mechanical metal friction sounds, low whispers, and curses and sighs of men and women, Evant suddenly realized that everything in front of him had become "cheerful".
After the fog and sound completely dissipated, he came to the familiar "Dream of Gray" again, which had reached half a month ago, but did not remember much useful information.
"Sure enough, it's still a familiar scene. If I say so, I should have agreed to the time with the 'Mechanical Spirit'. Although I forgot most of the conversation, I haven't forgotten the time when the crimson moon rises again at 3:00 a.m. fifteen days later, I haven't forgotten the time when the crimson moon rises again. I just don't know if the 'Mechanical Spirit' will abide by the agreement and arrive here without surprise." Evant said to himself.
After he moved his body and felt the familiar sense of manipulation, he looked up and looked around his surroundings.
It is still a vast altar area, surrounded by a circle of metal railings, protecting those entering from falling into the dark and foggy abyss realm.
The color sprinkled on the ground is no longer the interweaving of pure blue and gold as before, but instead turns into the interweaving of crimson and silver. It seems that the internal environment is also related to the external real world.
Seeing that there were no other entrants in the empty altar environment of "Grey Dream", Ivant simply stepped aimlessly over the iris outlined with black lines on the outermost layer, and the double-headed eagle pattern was drawn in the middle, and walked to the hexagram pattern at the center.
A few minutes later, just as Ivant looked up at the psychedelic crimson moon that was gradually emerging from the clouds, the space ahead of him twisted a moment.
After the electric current sound passed, a man wearing a pure black windbreaker and tightly wrapped in a hoodie appeared in front of him, showing a young male body shape.
His face is also wearing hexagonal shapes, with sunflower patterns engraved on the edges, and a mask with a simple sun pattern in the middle.
After experiencing the discomfort when he just entered the "Grey Dream", he stopped in place and shook his heavy head a few times, but the "human" in front of Evante took the lead in using hoarseness, which could not be concealed by the unique and bright voice of the young man, and asked:
"A person wearing a tuxedo, are you also looking for the 'armor spirit'? 'Red-faced Hain' said that anyone who can enter the 'Grey Dream' is extraordinary and has a unique and extraordinary power. Why not let's get to know each other first? Hello, I am the 'Echoerer'."
"'Echoer'? It's very famous. You must have read "The Ancient Worlds", right?" Evant said with a little disdain:
"I'm indeed waiting for the 'armor spirit', but it's okay to know you."
