Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Chapter 138: Lake Spirits; Sound of the Pottery Xun

Cecily felt pressured by the other four gazes.

She was silent for a while, her eyes drifted to the side, and she couldn't help but cough lightly to try to change the subject: "These students are probably here to watch the dance. What do you think, Vivian, do you want to satisfy their curiosity?"

Vivian chuckled and said, "The dance of the astrologer witch is not a pure dance. I wonder what they can see?"

"Vivian, are you also an astrology witch?" Tide looked a little surprised.

Vivian tapped her chin with her delicate fingertips and recalled, "Yes, our family has a strong interest in divination, and Professor Catherine also said that I have a high talent.

"It is rumored that during the Age of Strife, the lake elves relied on divination to choose the side of the human race, parted ways with the elves, and concluded an ancient contract with the human race. Unfortunately, I don't know the details, but the director told me that I have some connection with the human race."

Vivian said with a smile.

Chao Xi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he dug out those very distant memories: "The ancient contract between the lake elves and the human race..."

It looked thoughtfully at the huge tree on the other side of the mountain, incorporating the lake spirit into Damocles, which was really subtle.

Chao Xi sighed and said, “I’ve heard that the lake elves were once the guardians of a sword that could kill gods. However, during the Age of Strife, the lake elves lent it to a human swordsman named Arthur, and because of this, they had a disagreement with the elves.

"The elves no longer allowed the lake elves to enter their territory. Later, when the two realms were separated, the sword was lost without a trace."

Chao Xi said meaningfully, "What a coincidence! The lake elf that signed a contract with the human race is also called Vivian."

Several dormitory managers were stunned. Frankly speaking, even though they lived in Damocles, they were not influenced by the academy to become like the teachers. They were not as interested in the ancient knowledge as they were in the knowledge of how to educate students.

Ah Ling swung his scale-covered tail leisurely, supporting his chin with one hand. "Are you referring to the Sword of Promised Victory? I've heard a little about it, but it's been several epochs, so it's unlikely to be found."

Since she hangs out more with Peregrine and the others, she should know more.

She shook her head. "The God-killing Sword... maybe it's just the passage of time and the legends of the bards that gave it such an honor. Who knows if it's true or not."

Without seeing the real thing, even Peregrine could not be sure of the authenticity of this legend.

Vivian's pair of clear honey-colored eyes were full of interest: "What you said is very interesting, I will go and collect it later." As a lake elf, she knew nothing, which made her feel a little unlearned.

After listening to the whole thing, Green Newt expressed his feelings and laughed softly, "This is a contract that has not yet ended. This is a vow buried by time. It's very interesting, isn't it?"

The girl in the long skirt looked up at the vast starry sky: "Green Newt, you really have the potential to be a bard. I am looking forward to it. The contract between the lake elves and humans sounds very romantic~~"

She did not hesitate to praise Chao Xi and said, "Chao Xi, you are really knowledgeable~~"

Chao Xi was silent for a moment, feeling that this lake elf was about 80% similar to the simple and uninhibited nature of the forest deer tribe.

A moving legend from the Age of Strife?

A romantic oath from humans and lake elves?

Chao Xi crossed his arms and said nothing, just raised the corners of his mouth silently.

far away.

Looking over there, Finnian asked curiously, "What are they talking about?"

Sisi on the tree lowered her eyes to reveal a pair of blue pupils, and said in a slightly dazed tone: "It seems to be talking about the story of the contract between the elves in the lake and the human race, the sword of killing gods, the sword of vowed victory, etc."

What the hell is this? She has never heard of it. Probably only those guys in the history department can dig out this story and explain it to her.

She whined softly in disinterest.

Finnian's eyebrows moved and he blinked: "Sword of Promised Victory? Isn't this an exhibit at the Alchemical Materials Fair?"

"Hmm?" Xi Sui'an was surprised when he heard the familiar words, "Exhibits of the Alchemical Materials Fair?"

Finnian suddenly clapped his hands and said in annoyance, "You really speak without thinking..."

The treeman boy Bor glanced at the dwarf coldly and said, "What's there to hide? Everyone should know it in a few days."

"Legend has it that the Sword of Promised Victory was forged by an elven alchemist before the Age of Strife. Colin, the elven dean of our academy, who is from an unknown generation, even wrote a poem for it.

"During the Age of Strife, the elves were caught up in fighting and had no time to care about the Oath and the Sword of Victory, so they gave it to the lake elves to take care of.

"However, the lake elves gave the sword to the human race and stood on the side of the human race. Since then, their race has been expelled and rejected by the elves.

"If you ask me, this is what he deserves. Stealing from the company and trading without authorization is really too unethical."

The tree boy glanced at Vivian, who was wearing a long skirt and had golden brown hair, and commented coldly.

Finnian rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay, you tree people know a lot. That's enough. It's just that you live a little longer..."

Xi Sui'an raised his eyebrows, feeling very surprised: "It was lost for several epochs and then found now?"

"I suspect it's a fake, a gimmick to attract alchemists to the trade fair." The tree man said calmly.

Finnian cursed, "Damn it, don't go too far. Don't talk nonsense without evidence! Do you really think that so many alchemists are blind?!"

Xi Sui'an pondered, then this does seem to be somewhat authentic, displaying a sword that involves the elves. Is this alchemical material trade fair intended to lure the elves since the mermaids may not go?

"Alchemists in other places may not be blind, but..." The tree man Bol glanced at him and whispered, his words were finite but his meaning was profound.

"Tsk, Bor, are you provoking me?" Finnian couldn't stand it. "Besides having a longer life span, what other advantages do you Treemen have? Stop whining! We have been able to fight the Dragons for so many years, can you Treemen?! If you really want to fight, come on!"

Seeing that the young man was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, Xi Sui'an finally tore off the invisible cloth and exploded on the spot.

Seeing this, the corners of her mouth twitched and she sighed silently.

"Come out now, little bastards." The green newt had a headache. These little guys were really troublesome. He couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to.

Xi Sui'an looked at the frozen Fenian and the others, shook his head, and said to Li Chu calmly, "Let's go out."

Li Chu nodded subtly.

The behavior of this group of alien races really makes it difficult for the human race to judge.

Sisi on the tree was almost pissed off by them. She landed on the ground and turned into a human form. Her charming and beautiful face was full of murderous intent: "Damn it! Can you guys use some brains?!"

"Damn it, I should have listened to Sylvia earlier. What are you doing here?"

She gave them a fierce look, turned around and followed Xi Sui'an and the others.

In front of the bright bonfire, huge flowers bloomed, and a few new buds appeared on the rotten tree trunk next to the wooden chair under the grass leaves.

Chaotiao, who was sitting on the tree trunk and was about to laugh at these little guys, jumped up in surprise when he saw Xi Sui'an smiling.

It has not done anything wrong, but... but it is now looking like Xi Sui'an!

Chao Xi thought quickly, and in a moment he changed into Zhong Heng's gentle and jade-like look.

"Ahem, well, what a coincidence!" It looked up at the sky with a guilty look on its pretty face.

"..." Xi Sui'an covered his eyes, "If you fall into Zhong Heng's hands, I really can't save you."

This is really ooc.

"..." Chao Xi recalled the death incident on the grass that Vivian had mentioned before, and he strongly suspected that it was Zhong Heng who did it. He fell into an even more speechless silence.

————————————————————————————————————————

Vivian and the others were stunned for a second and looked back and forth between Xi Sui'an and Chao Xi.

Xixili was surprised: "Oh, classmate Xi Sui'an is here too?"

"She is Xi Sui'an?" A Ling looked at Xi Sui'an and asked Tao Wu on his shoulder in a low voice.

"Well, yes."

Green Newt didn't look surprised, but narrowed his eyes when he saw Xi Sui'an.

That is, Weiwei looked at Xi Sui'an and Li Chu with curiosity: "Are you also interested in our party?"

Xi Sui'an touched his nose: "Hmm..."

Vivian shifted her gaze to Li Chu, whose face was covered with black silk, and said lovingly, "I heard Professor Catherine mention you. She said you would become a very powerful astrologer!"

Li Chu: "...Thank you for your encouragement, I will work hard." Professor Catherine says this to every student.

"Human race... who else is there in our academy?" Vivian looked at the group of little guys in front of her and asked curiously. She now had an indescribable affection for the human race.

Sisi answered very obediently: "There is another one called A Luo, who is a combat major and is now in the Inspection Department."

"A Luo... I'll go see him when I have time." Vivian thought, stroking her chin.

Tide has a bit of a toothache. This lake elf has a very high favorability towards humans. I hope he won’t cry when his filter is broken in the future.

"You guys are so idle that you dare to believe anything in the random posts." Green Newt looked at them coldly, "Go to the Discipline Department by yourselves. Don't let me lead you there."

Taowu pricked up his ears and murmured, "Hmm... why not let them go this time?"

Cecily shook her feet. "Yes, this time it was an accident. They won't do it again, right?"

Cecily looked at them with a smile and said leisurely.

"..."

"……Correct."

They looked at each other, and finally nodded obediently, pinching their noses.

Vivian laughed and said, "I only danced the prayer dance once at many end-of-month gatherings. I didn't expect that the students would see it and still remember it until now." She shook her head in amusement.

"Come on, let's dance again!" Cecily said with a smile.

She looked at the students and asked, "Do you really want to see it?"

Xi Sui'an and the others thought about it and nodded silently.

Never seen it. Curious.JPG

Vivian lifted the hem of her skirt, walked to the middle of the grass, and pointed at Cecily with her delicate fingertips: "Come on, then."

She took a deep breath, looked up at the sky with gentle eyes, then raised her white wrist, tapped her toes lightly, and her skirt fluttered. A gentle breeze blew from the top of the mountain, blowing the girl's long golden brown hair.

Xi Sui'an looked up at the sky. At this moment, the top of the mountain seemed to be one step closer to the starry sky, making her feel as if she was surrounded by countless twinkling stars.

The colorful original energy gathered and floated here with her light footsteps, and the original power continued to penetrate their bodies.

Xi Sui'an felt his unusually active origin core constantly absorbing the power in the air, and his expression was somewhat surprised.

Finnian murmured in a low voice: "It turns out that the Spiritual Dance is an activated Source Gathering Pattern..." It has almost the same effect.

The sky was full of twinkling stars, and it seemed as if the projected starlight was integrated into the dancing Vivian's body, making her dance more spiritual and seem to produce a subtle and indescribable resonance.

Xi Sui'an's heart moved slightly, this effect might be more than just gathering energy.

Li Chu suddenly covered her eyes and said solemnly: "I feel that the Eye of Prophecy is draining my power..." This spiritual dance can enhance her sensing ability, but at the same time, the Eye of Prophecy is also somewhat attracted, and her control over it is also reduced.

"What?!" Xi Sui'an was stunned. Not only did the Eye of Prophecy activate randomly on its own, but it could also be activated?!

Both of them were caught off guard, and at this moment, a melodious sound of music came over, the music was soft and soothing, lingering in the room.

Cecily was flying in the air along a specific trajectory, scattering tiny and crystal clear spots of light. When she heard the music, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, and then she waved her hand casually, and a huge rose flower bloomed on the top of the mountain.

The giant rose petals blocked the starry sky, and that strange sensation was cut off in an instant.

Xi Sui paused, his eyebrows froze, and he raised his hand to put on Li Chu's shoulder: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Li Chu said softly, "The music came at a very timely moment. The induction was broken."

The Eye of Prophecy has not been fully activated.

Xi Sui'an listened attentively. The music was gentle and slow, simple and gentle, as if it had passed through a heavy history, with the calmness and composure accumulated over the years. The music blended into the dance of the lake elves without any abruptness, and people were immersed in it. Watching Vivian's prayer dance was like seeing the silhouette of time.

The source of this music cannot be captured.

She lowered her head and began to think. It seemed to be the sound of the Xun.

Who is so good at playing the music so well?

The edge of the sky duel arena.

The young man leaned against the huge stone tablet with one knee bent, his posture unusually casual. The wind from the sky blew a strand of hair off his temples, hiding the quiet and distant thoughts in his eyes.

He held a pear-shaped clay xun in his hand, and as his fingertips rose and fell slowly, soft music flowed from it.

After a while, the music stopped, and only the remnant sound was like heavy snow falling and finally quietly melting into the world.

Ju Mang sat there and glanced at the top of Cuiwei Mountain in the distance. He chuckled and shook his head, then his gaze turned to the giant tree under the starry sky.

After a moment, he lowered his head and played with the clay xun thoughtfully.

The pottery xun was plain and looked powerless, with a deep scratch on it. He rubbed the scratch and the smile on his face faded, as if it had quietly disappeared with the wind.

He stood up, raised his hand and knocked on the stone tablet, with a sighing tone.

"I really lost money from cooperating with you from beginning to end."

"Live towards death... Haha, I hope I can see your so-called life."

Ju Mang looked at the sharp inscriptions on the stone tablet, laughed briefly, then stood on the side of the stone tablet with his hands behind his back, looked up at the starry sky, and remained silent.
