A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

"The assessment concert is a ceremony to express your inner voice and gain everyone's recognition. If you want to be the best, you need a piece that is unique to you and everyone else."

"No matter how refined the technique, it is only to perfectly express the indescribably beautiful voice of the heart. Little Sierra, you might as well start thinking about what your music is like from now on~"

It sounds mysterious, but it shouldn't be very difficult.

She breathed a sigh of relief, though the courage on her shoulders felt a little heavier, but Sera would not give in.

87. The Shape of Sound

The vocal practice lasted from day to night and from night to day. During this period, Sera returned to reality and only checked the situation of the brown bear Urna and the barrier. Then she asked the brown bear to stay in the barrier as much as possible and not run around outside.

She suspected that Honkai energy seemed to have some effect on the brown bear who had completed the awakening ritual and embarked on the path of magic.

"call."

Returning from reality to the Garden of Sound, the friendly magical factors in the forest quietly permeated her body and mind, and the fatigue from going back and forth was subtly wiped away. For Sera, the reality seemed to be reversed.

"How have you been feeling these past two days?"

A word was interrupted in the discussion where everyone was talking and laughing. Sera relaxed and put down the Green Sprout Staff she was carrying with her, a faint smile on her gentle little face.

"Very good, I learned the basics very quickly. Sister Serena praised me several times."

Arisa said happily that she didn't bring a bow and arrow with her, so she had put all her love for instruments into the new flute. If she were asked to draw the bow and shoot arrows now, she would most likely be unwilling to do so.

Archery is a required course for forest rangers, but playing the flute is not as fun as it is now.

"By the way, here is the music score compiled by Lady Serena. I can give it to you, Sera, for reference."

Immersed in the gentle atmosphere, Kokoro handed Sera a book with a simple but neat binding, which contained a very gentle magic.

This is……

As soon as I got it, I discovered the special features of the book. In Sera's careful perception, the paper corresponding to the different musical scores, in addition to its own gentleness, also has corresponding unique fluctuations.

Mana came into contact with magic, and the spiritual reading began immediately. Suddenly, a different music sounded in Sera's heart.

Along the long mountain road, blue rivers flow over the towering peaks. Travelers leisurely write down everything they see along the way, imprinting melodious rhythms from the harmonious nature, making the continuous music full of poetic beauty between mountains and rivers.

In the quiet swamp, the chilling coldness turns into wisps of white mist, lingering above the dark water. The cold sound is like the clear moonlight, shining down and making people feel quiet and lonely, sighing for the sorrow and hope of life.

In the dragon's lair, on a mountain of gold, silver and treasures, the noble dragon looks down at the knight who is overestimating his own capabilities. However, the gradually passionate music tells the epic story of the knight becoming a hero. The dancing swords and the flowing dragon breath all become a legendary scene in the music.

Poetic and soft like a rainbow.

Cold, quiet and dark like a lonely night.

A passionate epic, heroes create legends.

……

More music scores flow in the spiritual world. It is not just about understanding the music recorded in words, but about using eyes, ears and even all senses to touch the works of masters of different styles. Among them, there is always one song that touches the listeners the most.

"Well……"

If the emotions of the heart cannot be expressed in words, it is either due to personal cultivation or there is something wrong with the language itself as a tool of expression.

Sera didn't know which one she was, but the inspiration she felt from this book was truly indescribable.

"Have you all listened to it? What do you think of our tracks?"

Ask everyone first, because although the strong inspiration is about to come out, there is still a fragile wall or half a wall missing. The feeling of pain and happiness makes Sera feel impatient.

"Everyone has heard it, and because it's so good, they've listened to it a few more times. If it weren't for you, Sera-chan, Kokoro-chan would probably have listened to it a little longer."

Lisa smiled, and what she said was confirmed by Kokoro.

"Yes, this music book compiled by Lady Serena really makes it difficult for me to control myself. The faint melody is still echoing in my ears now."

Floating in the ocean of music, Kokoro's speech also reflects everyone's common feeling. After everyone expressed their shock, they entered into a serious discussion.

"I think a harmonious and melodious melody is great. It's the forest's traditional background color and will definitely be recognized by the residents!"

"But, wouldn't it be harder to stand out if it's just standard? It doesn't seem very impressive."

"Then try to combine them. There should be both harmonious and melodious parts, as well as unusual parts. The contrast will create an impression."

"Oh oh oh."

The Mud Colossus also joined the discussion. Being exceptionally tall, it chose the hand drum that Latika had considered, but its unusual size made it somewhat eye-catching.

"Sierra, you will make the final decision on what our tune should be."

The intermittent inspiration gradually became a complete string in everyone's discussion, and was combined with the harp of her choice. Sera, who understood the direction, nodded slightly in response to everyone's request.

"It's about adding some dark elements, just like when we teamed up before. Although the process was tortuous and dangerous, the final result was good."

"Darkness serves as a backdrop to the harmonious rhythm. The earth sleeps before dawn, and then the dawn arrives, and the awakened earth is lush and green, overflowing with bright vitality."

I'm so tired, so alone

The general design of the song was finalized, but Serra needed to discuss and modify the specific presentation, moving forward bit by bit in the tortuous development.

Simple ideas were transformed into real entities through artistic modification. Real entities were refined through numerous techniques, and finally the unpleasant impurities were removed, allowing a song belonging to them to take full shape.

Now, it is the second night for the newly formed Mori Orchestra. In silence, the flowing evening breeze conveys messages without delay, making the rehearsals gradually smoother, and an extraordinary tacit understanding has taken shape.

As her fingertips brushed across the strings, azure mana was infused into them, and the spiritual feedback came with a beautiful timbre. With just a thought, Sera's mana would communicate with the harp and change the tones corresponding to different strings.

His clear blue eyes held a calm and restrained confidence, his clear thoughts reflected in them like a mirror, and then transformed into unhesitating movements of his hands. In an instant, the dull sound of drums, like thunder piercing the night, or the low roar of an unknown beast, accompanied by a humming melody, captivated the heartstrings...

This is a melody of darkness and obscurity, but within it there must still be hidden hope, a spark of light.

The low volume was lost in the ensemble of drums and violins. Along with the intermittent sounds of Mr. Orange's tambourine, the melodious flute and the beautiful harp suddenly entered the scene, making the harmonious rhythm of the forest and nature echo in the Garden of Sound.

The newly formed Mori Band is now on the right track and it is not too late for the performance.

"Enlu, you'd better eat less candy. It would be bad if you get cavities."

With a smile on her beautiful face, Serena took the time to tease the pink-haired girl while watching everyone perform, which made the favored elf a little unhappy.

"This is the reward for my hard work. Why? Humph."

88. Heartstrings

jingle--

The beautiful sound of the harp is like the gurgling of water, sounding one after another, sometimes gentle and sometimes mysterious. The elegant melody unconsciously leads to the ensemble of other instruments, turning the pleasant solo into a beautiful ensemble. The diverse dimensions of expression demonstrate the master's style.

Everyone was enjoying Selina's music comfortably, and their peaceful minds were immersed in the ocean of harmonious sounds. When the master stopped playing, everyone could not forget it for a long time.

"uh-huh."

Seeing the young people's surprisingly unanimous relieved expressions, Selina, who had expressed her opinions on them with practical results, smiled with satisfaction, then flew lightly to the side, waiting for time to pass quietly on the glittering treetops.

"Yeah, if we were at this level, then we wouldn't have to worry about the concert at all."

Stretching lazily with satisfaction, Mistrina's lively and graceful figure was displayed to the fullest. Beside her was a cello suspended in the air. The fine workmanship and elegant wood made this work of art seem to faintly reflect the bright light of the gem.

"To achieve this level, I'm afraid the unit of time would have to be years."

Sera complained about her friend's fantasy, and then she asked everyone if they had any other ideas.

"Over the past few days, we have completed a piece of music that belongs to everyone. However, a concert can't just have one piece. I think maybe we can add some solo performances."

When the idea of ​​a solo came out, even Sera herself was a little scared. But after practicing for a few days, she had some ideas and confidence, and felt that she could easily fool her way through the solo part.

So, she didn't mind using this suggestion to fill the flow of the subsequent concert and make it more attractive.

"..."

Time paused briefly, and then suddenly came alive with a lively discussion. Even Latika, who had been a little hesitant before, was now very serious and expressed quite creative ideas.

Well, if the progress continues like this, then the concert will not be a problem. It will not become a black history, but a band performance that will be a beautiful memory. That’s great.

After looking into the future and imagining the performance scenes, Sera smiled happily.

"Are you interested in making the solo session a unique experience? If so, I can teach you some unique tips~"

Selina spoke softly in the treetops. Her voice was not loud and had always been so elegant and calm since they met. But when she heard her unique little trick, even the Mud and Dust Golem began to shout "Hmm!", and her enthusiastic attitude was very conspicuous.

"interested in!"

They answered in unison, and flew down gracefully under the expectant eyes of the young people. Selina lightly played the small harp in her hand, and the brilliant Garden of Sound underwent magical changes.

The boundary between mental imagery and reality becomes blurred, as if falling into an incredible tree hole in a fairy tale. In an instant, everyone seems to have escaped from the forest and arrived in a simple world with only the blue sky, pure white earth and musical instruments.

The ground beneath your feet is rippling with strange ripples, and every step you take creates the illusion of falling into water, giving you a very strange feeling.

Well……

Is this some kind of magic, a displacement of the world? It doesn't look like it, or is it an illusion using sound as a medium?

"Don't overthink it. This is just a simple change of practice venue. You can ask me about other matters later, little Sera."

Selina saw through Sera's thoughts at a glance, and her kind gaze made the girl, who was full of thoughts, quickly come back to her senses and stop thinking about some inappropriate ideas.

"This is also the Garden of Sound, but it's closer to the heart. It's a great place to find your inner voice."

"In other words, I suggest that during your solo sessions, you choose to play the repertoire you've found here."

Slender white fingers brushed across the tough strings of the harp. Selina, with her eyes lightly closed, began a new performance after she finished speaking. This time, due to the wonderful regional characteristics, Sera and the others witnessed something that was manifested.

Warm firefly lights emerged from the void, forming bright silk threads like a river in the sky, floating naturally in front of everyone's eyes. At the end of the extended direction, a gorgeous and elegant gate of light appeared.

A sacred and brilliant light surrounds the door, and countless secret codes represent the numerous syllables that arise from the soul. This self-evident phenomenon shows the accumulation of Selina's life, which is the voice of her heart, a beautiful mountain built up by the notes transformed from her life experiences.

It is shining, it is starry, it is broad and harmonious.

jingle--

The pleasant ringtone was crisp and pleasant. After a loud sound, the scene disappeared completely, just like a sky full of flying fire that suddenly disappeared into the distance. Everything was gone, leaving only the aftertaste and regret after the beautiful scenery disappeared.

"Amazing!"

There weren't many elegant words of praise to offer. After Arisa's initial exclamation, everyone else chimed in with, "Me too."

"This place will be open all day. I hope you can all find your own heart's melody after I return."

"Of course, it's worth mentioning that although the Garden of Sound can materialize the corresponding voices of people's hearts, the true hearts cannot be fully revealed."

“Even I, after mastering the art of music, still feel I’m just a clumsy musician, and it’s still far from enough to fully express my sensibility.”

Leaving behind words of farewell and instruction, the glorious fairy transformed into a bright light, and like the Gate of Light before it, it vanished and left the Garden of Sound.

"Shall I try first?"

Arisa's eager words took the lead, and as the elf girl concentrated on playing the flute, the surrounding scenery began to change with the sound.

The deep green breeze is the forest's support and her pure love for the world she lives in. Although she is young and immature, her determination to protect and guide has already been made.

"Clap clap clap."

Showing genuine expressions of approval, everyone's applause was the best form of praise. After a brief appreciation of the song, Arisa received curious inquiries from others.

"Arisa, is there anything special that needs to be played right now?"

"Yes, it feels very smooth. Try it yourself, Sera~"

After answering Sera's question, the delighted Arisa continued to deal with other people's inquiries. In the simple Garden of Sound, they now seemed to have found the passion they had when they first arrived, and ignited even stronger morale.

"Ahem, I'll take the second one. I hope everyone has no objection."

A large harp as tall as a person hung in front of Sera. Amidst unanimous voices, the girl began to play as she pleased.

89. Starlight Song

The tunes are spontaneous and the touch is unique. Among the harp tones recorded through personal experience, there are some subtle tones that come together and are connected in the mind, guiding the player's fingers to play according to the vision of the heart.

The subjective consciousness was surprised by this, but Sera's fingers still pulled the strings according to the direction of her heart, allowing the melody buried deep in her soul or subconscious to float to the surface of the world.

In the quiet and silent atmosphere, the sound of strings comes from the deep valley of the mountain stream. The sound is gentle and continues with a hint of sadness. Then, outside the valley, the mist dissipates, and the sound becomes clear and bright.

The principle of not killing is high in the sky, the road to stars is paved, he receives kindness in the orphanage, and then is wrapped in the care of the forest. The tortuous road finally sees the dawn of hope.

A warm feeling circulates throughout the body. When a song ends, the emotion of the present still remains. The remaining touch, through the involvement of will, forms the prototype of a personal song.
