Chapter 233 233. The sincerity of the Orpheus family
The magic circle for long-distance transmission has already been set up at the Warcraft War Pet Shop. After all, with the increase in cargo traffic, a magic circle is really needed. Stable array.
Kloya can't use the Holy Spring Crystal Card to deliver goods every time. It may be okay at the beginning, but in the future there will be more and more stores, and the space magic circle must be built.
So traveling has become very convenient.
At this time, Ai Li had already arrived at Hanjiao Island through the space magic array.
Butler Rob, who had not received guests in person for a long time, came to greet her.
"Ms. Ellie, please come with me."
After Croya's power grew stronger and stronger, Robber no longer was surprised by anyone's changes.
After all, the little prince of the mermaid comes over to play from time to time, and you can often see angels and elves flying around...
After seeing it too much, of course it becomes boring.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Ellie does not have the common arrogance of elves and the disdain towards humans. Her tutor does not allow her to do this.
Children raised by truly rich families are basically not stupid. The more profound the family background, the more talkative and personable they are.
Rob glanced at Ellie in surprise, and led the latter through the long tunnel to the reception room.
"Please wait here for a while, the master will be here soon."
"Okay."
Ellie watched the butler leave, calmly Looking at the surrounding decoration - the floor is made of red wood, the walls are covered with off-white wallpaper, the items on display include porcelain, black and white paintings, and some incense burners are emitting a lingering aroma.
The decoration of the entire reception room was something she had never seen before, but it felt inexplicably very comfortable and formal.
"The decoration is not bad."
She muttered and picked up the snacks that had been prepared.
This snack looks quite small, and there are some strange square words printed on it.
The round pancake looks like a full moon.
It is said that what this is called...moon cake.
The name and appearance are really connected.
While drinking the new milk tea and nibbling mooncakes, she saw Croya walking in from outside after a while.
The latter smiled and said: "How do these snacks and milk tea taste?"
"It's delicious, but not too sweet."
With the elves' daily life, For a recipe that uses flower petal dew, the taste is indeed relatively bland.
"In that moment, I will have someone make something that suits your taste. You can take it away and eat it."
After Croya finished speaking, he sat down on the main seat: "You want Meet our oak friends.”
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, Ellie shook her head: "I don't want it anymore. It will be free from now on. I believe it doesn't want to have anything to do with the Orpheus family anymore."
< br>"I think so." Croya nodded and said unabashedly: "It is equivalent to using its own body and soul to repay the kindness that allowed it to be born. It is better not to see it again in the future."
"Your words are really merciless, Mr. Croya." Ellie smiled bitterly.
"I just feel sorry for my friend Oak. After all, what I said is the truth. Could it be that even the truth is harsh?" Croya said.
"..."
Knowing that she could not speak to him, Ellie decisively changed the subject, took out something from her personal space magic device, and placed it on the table.
“Take a look at this first.”
Chloë followed her movements.
It is a laurel wreath woven from emerald green branches, with four-petaled flowers on it, as smooth and white as jade.
At first glance it seems quite unremarkable.
But if you look closely, it seems to contain an extremely powerful magic power - Croya even felt the magic power of "Eternal Hymn" from inside.
He couldn't help but reached out and touched the laurel crown made of laurel branches, and heard a sound.
The voice is full of sunshine, magnetic and affectionate -
"But I will always love you, I will use your branches and leaves to make a laurel crown, use your wood to make it my harp, and adorn my bow with your flowers.
And I will give you everlasting youth.”
Cloë suppressed the sound. He was wearing the robe of Phoebus, staring at the flower crown, his expression unchanged.
Ellie on the side asked eagerly: "Did you feel something?"
The owner of the laurel wreath was one of the ancestors of the Orpheus family, but he fell into a deep sleep. If she can be awakened, the whole family will benefit a lot.
Cloë did not answer, but picked up the laurel wreath. The wreath gradually deformed in his hands, and finally formed a small harp.
It was a golden, seven-stringed harp, with four-petal laurel flowers blooming on it, emitting golden light.
“!!!”
Ellie’s eyes widened.
This is the first time she has seen someone other than the Orpheus family able to awaken the power of the laurel tree.
But when Croya put his fingers on the strings and wanted to pluck them, an extremely resistant consciousness came from the strings.
The consciousness inside refused him to play himself.
"Why is this."
Cloya didn't understand, so he activated the Astral Body Imprinting Technique and took a look. As a result, he found an arrowhead inside the laurel branch. The arrowhead was blunt, but it was deeply pierced into the astral body of the laurel branch.
Obviously, this is another seal from God.
It was this arrow that suppressed Laurel's acceptance of his magic power and sealed her heart.
‘The water is very deep, and why is there no prompt this time? Is it because the seal’s body is not here? '
After seeing the reason, he pretended to sigh helplessly, put down the laurel crown, spread his hands and said: "It seems that I have no choice."
"Ms. Aili, What is this? "
- This is actually a good thing. Under the influence of the fluctuation of magic power, he almost subconsciously started playing. Who knows what will happen after playing.
Now that I can put it down and understand the cause and effect, the remaining things will be easier to handle.
Hearing his inquiry, Ellie did not hesitate and explained: "This is a laurel wreath woven from the branches of an ancestor of our Orpheus family. Legend has it that she once fell in love with a god from the astral world. .
The god gave her eternal blessing, but did not give her long-lasting love. She turned into a laurel tree and waited.
According to the records in the books and scrolls of the clan. , only the song of the sun can awaken her.
I won’t hide it from you. The reason why Mr. Beorel was able to get acquiescence was not only because he could heal the mother goddess’s wounds, but also because he predicted it. There will be the light of the sun."
At this point, she looked at Croya meaningfully and said bluntly: "The last thing you played with the Angel of the Piano was the movement of the sun."
"It was admitted, but it is completely useless. The copy cannot be compared with what you played in person."
Being recognized, Croya was not surprised or anything.
In fact, there are many meditation methods that point to the sun, and there are also many meditation methods that have solar properties in magic power - the most important thing is that the other party has not publicized this matter for a year, which means that they I don’t want to say it either.
Looking at Croya’s unchanging expression, Ellie could only tell the last piece of news: “You can rest assured that Ms. Elister has warned the elders in the clan that this matter The matter will never spread."
These words finally caused some changes in Croya's expression. He did not expect to hear this name.
Elister, the legendary mage.
She can actually speak for herself? This is really weird.
After a brief surprise, he immediately thought: "Master Eliste is from the Ophis family?"
"That's right." Ellie nodded: "Ms. Eliste She is indeed a member of our Ophis family, and she is also the master of the Great Wisdom Palace.
Mr. Beorel is just one of her subordinates.”
"She also asked me to tell you that after entering the star realm, you must choose the star area she commands. She will be happy to help you apply for a territory on the Creation Star Ring."
"..."< br>
Chloë couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows.
Star realm?
She is only at level five now. If she wants to travel to the star realm, she needs to reach at least level ten, which is the level of a great mage... And why does she value herself so much.
To be honest, although I got some things from her ruins, I didn't have a direct encounter at all. Could she know how to get a few things?
He looked at Ellie with doubtful eyes, and the latter clapped her hands and thought of something: "I heard from Ms. Elister that you let her meet an old friend she likes very much, and she was planning to Let’s take that friend away to reminisce about old times.”
When Croya heard the words “old friend”, her eyelids jumped wildly, and she instinctively felt that something was wrong—this couldn’t be true. Is that Mr. Knight?
He has gone to the underworld, can you let him go?
Chloë could only pray that Mr. Knight could escape this time. "Is that so? I didn't expect that Ms. Eliste would pay attention to a little mage like me."
He smiled humbly.
With the information provided by Ai Li, he was barely able to figure out the matter. It turned out that the root cause of everything was because he wanted to wake up the laurel tree.
The elf named "Beoriel" was actually able to predict that he would play with the Angel of the Piano, and he was probably very powerful.
So, the laurel tree is very important to the Orpheus family.
So...
"Although I have the magic power of the sun, you have also seen that the laurel tree itself resists my magic power, and I cannot exert any power."
"Besides, what price do you want to pay for me to help you?"
Cloya said directly: "As far as the current situation is concerned, I don't think the Orpheus family and I are friends.
You also secretly admitted my music, haha.”
They are all evil adults. Since they are willing to pay such a price to get a ballad of the sun, then of course they will raise the price.
Friendship?
Hmm... He didn't have a very good impression of the Orpheus family.
As for the music, to be honest...the music played by him personally and the music recorded with something are completely different.
He has known this for a long time. If you can secretly learn music by enrolling in music, then how come music magic is so rare?
"The admission of the movement is indeed our fault."
Ellie nodded: "Although Laurel has rejected your power now, this also proves that your power is true for it. Effective.
I brought some tokens of friendship, although they are not very precious, but please accept them.”
She took out three things from the space magic device and placed them. On the table are a book, a bottle with seeds and... a Holy Spring Crystal Card.
The first two are not visible at first glance, but Croya knows the last one.
There is a line of numbers on it: [special-Ⅷ_XVI].
He himself has such a plane as [small-IX_Ⅲ], and this new crystal card should represent another plane.
It should be said that it is a family of elves. Gifts are given directly to the same plane.
Seeing Croya's eyes lingering on the crystal card for a few seconds, Ai Li introduced: "You should have noticed that this is the plane crystal card of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.
< br>"This was obtained from the original transaction between our ancestors and the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. As for what is in it, I don't know. I can only wait for you to study it yourself. "
After being sold out, she pointed to two other things: "This is a music score, written by a powerful bard, and the other is a banyan tree seed made by our Orpheus family. ”
“Music score? "Kloya's heart moved, and he opened it without politeness and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw familiar handwriting.
It seemed to be the same as the "Gentle Flowing Spring Melody" given to him by Orpheus Oak. It's the same type, all about water.
Its name is: "The Raging Waterfall"
This is a defensive magic, and it's very exaggerated. Defensive magic, with the help of magic, can release a magic shield like a waterfall
As long as the magic power still exists, it can block all attacks, including divine power.
"What a powerful magic."
Cloya couldn't help but sigh. At first glance, this is a defensive magic, but if it involves divine power, it would be too exaggerated.
You must know that there is mutual restraint between forces.
It turned out that this thing actually said that as long as it was used, it could block all attacks... To be honest, if there weren't people here, he would have wanted to give it a try.
“Yes, I think so too.”
Ellie smiled, “This banyan tree is the result of research by an elder in the family and can build a town on the water.
But the specifics still depend on the cultivation method.”
She didn’t say much. The biggest feature of this kind of magic plant is uncertainty. If it is cultivated exactly according to the Orpheus family’s method. , that would be too boring.
I have long heard that a single banyan tree forms a forest. He has always wanted one, but has never gotten one. He never expected that he would get one now.
He was very satisfied, so he nodded: "These three gifts are indeed very heavy. So, what do you want me to help with?"
"We are working hard to unlock the seal of the Laurel ancestors. Wait until it is unlocked." When the time comes, the elders of the family hope that you can come to the Orpheus family.
If you can awaken your ancestors, you will gain the friendship of the Orpheus family until the end of time."
"Oh."
"I will consider it when you unlock the seal."
He did not directly agree, but only gave an ambiguous answer.
Friendship, haha.
Unless an eternal contract is truly signed, this kind of friendship will never happen. Who knows what will happen?
"Okay." Ellie nodded: "Now that we're done, I still have a piece of music score, which was compensated by my family.
Can I invite you to play together?"< br>
Her eyes were bright, obviously looking forward to it.
Chloë's first reaction was: "You want to record my music again?"
Ellie was helpless: "...This is my personal invitation, with natural I swear in the name of God that I will never record your music.”
Now that it comes to this, Croya obviously has no reason to refuse - he also wants to experience more music magic. , this special magic system is not even available to the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.
So he stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture: "Then let's go to the place where I often play."
With that said, he took Aili and left the reception room. , came to an ordinary island through a space magic array.
This is an island the size of a football field. There is no life on the island. It is bare. The only thing special is a tall rock.
There is a soft cushion on it.
Chloë sat on it unceremoniously, then slapped it on the ground, and another rock suddenly rose from the ground.
There is nothing on this rock.
Ellie didn't mind it and flew directly to the rock, threw a sheet of music to Croya, and then took out her harp.
She reached out and plucked the strings of the harp.
With the rapid sound of the piano, wind appeared, to be precise, it was a violent wind - a small tornado manifested around her and flew quickly around her.
It gradually gets bigger as it flies.
In the end, it turned into a huge tornado storm that could be called a disaster.
All the seawater and the fish in the seawater were swept up by the tornado, whistling and flying farther away.
"..." Croya saw this scene just after reading the score, and kindly reminded: "Take it easy, this is the territory of the mermaid tribe, are you really not afraid of being arrested by the mermaid tribe? ”
The sound of the piano stopped a little and became gentler.
Taking advantage of the moment of pause, Croya took out a mediocre spare harp and started playing.
But what he played was not the violent wind like Ellie's, but the distant wind - the cyan wind elements gathered to form feathers and flew towards the distance, carrying with them his feelings about A special understanding of the sound of music and a blessing to the ocean.
In almost all areas where the feathers passed, the slightly violent wind on the ocean stopped, became softer, and blended into the cyan feathers.
In the end, even Ellie's tornado was completely assimilated by this force. The huge tornado turned into scattered blue phoenix feathers, carrying the rolled up fish back to the sea.
For a time, Ellie's piano music has completely become a foil for Croya, and her magic power has even been assimilated by Croya, turning into cyan flowing and glorious feathers floating towards the sea. go.
The creatures in the sea are eager to swallow feathers. They rush out of the sea and open their mouths to swallow the feathers made of wind elements.
The fish that are lucky enough to swallow the feathers are surrounded by wind, and their swimming and jumping speed and distance are significantly increased.
Seeing this scene, Ellie finally recognized the reality.
When she saw Kroya playing with the Angel of the Piano, she wanted to challenge her, so she came all the way.
I didn’t expect her ability to be so exaggerated, that she could even completely assimilate her piano sound and magic power.
“I give up!”
Ellie simply put down her harp and shouted to Croya: “I will study hard and come back when I get more music scores. You play together!”
After saying that, her figure blurred in the emerald green light, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Only Croya was left on the island. He put down the harp made of walnut wood and shook his head: "He ran really fast. I can't ask any more questions.
Forget it. Well, I’ll go back and take a look at this harvest.
The birthday party has to start too...”
He left without staying any longer.
QAQ can only update once today and was called away in the evening.
