Josiah built the teleportation array to summon the Venerated Skeleton Duke with the inscription on his palm. The Lich Duke provided the magic to tear up time and space, but the death aura around him almost suffocated all the elves present.
Priest Olanca hugged Carolee immediately, and the other Dark Wood Elf priests also stood in front of Carolee.
The overflowing death aura made the lush plants in the garden show signs of withering. Priest Olanca stared at the teleportation array built by Josiah, and there was panic in her eyes.
At this moment, she began to suspect that everything Josiah did for her tribe was just a sweet trap.
Just to dedicate the sprouting world tree to the existence behind the teleportation array!
It was too late for regret. Priest Olanca didn't even have the thought of fighting in front of the owner of this aura. She was only thinking about how to escape this terrible place with the holy tree!
"My dear Royal Highness Josiah, you have disturbed my evening piano playing time. I hope you have an explanation, or … another music score that is enough to satisfy me."
The Venerated Skeleton slowly walked out of the teleportation array. The moment he stepped into the garden, the plants on the ground began to wither gradually, and his cheerful soul fire stared at Josiah.
"I have a commission for you, Sir Duke." Josiah held half of the Venerated Skeleton's soul in his hand, which was enough to put Josiah on an equal footing when talking to the Undead Duke.
But after such a long communication, the relationship between Josiah and the Duke finally began to get closer to the relationship of 'friends who like the same music' and 'friends who can discuss movies together.'
"A commission?" The Venerated Skeleton raised his head and glanced inside the magic barrier. His eyes finally fell on Priest Olanca and Carolee, "Dark Wood Elves, it's really nostalgic. If I remember correctly, this is the human city of Noland. You finally rolled out of that forest and are willing to contact humans?"
"We have always been trying to communicate with humans!"
Although Olanca's priest was stared at by the Venerated Skeleton's soul fire and had a trembling feeling, the brave elf priest confronted the lich without fear.
"The last time I led the army to the Blackwood Forest, I didn't see even a shadow of you."
"Army? Apart from the Falosi's Revolutionary War a few hundred years ago, no army has ever approached the Blackwood Forest … Could it be … "
Olanca's priest looked at the Undead Duke and seemed to think of something, but the Venerated Skeleton let out a harsh laughter.
After losing his vocal cords, the lich's voice was really hard to hear. It sounded like fingernails scratching against a blackboard. Several Blackwood Elf priestesses covered their ears.
"Son of Chaos, I want to know why you summoned this lich." Priest Olanca did not continue to guess the identity of the Venerated Skeleton. She wanted to know why Josiah summoned a dangerous lich at this time.
"About this." Josiah walked to the side of the Venerated Skeleton and said, "Let me introduce you. This is one of the four dukes of the Demon Realm, the master of the Twilight Shadow Forest, the lord of the superior lich, Veronica Darke …"
After Josh finished his long list of identities, he paused for a moment and looked at the horrified expressions on the faces of the Blackwood Elves. Then, he added the most important part.
"At the same time, Miss Darke is also a great performer, arranger, conductor of an orchestra, and … an extremely famous film critic on the Spell Caster Forum. I'm sure all of you have more or less seen her film reviews, the one named Chaser of Light."
After listening to what Josiah said, both Olanca's priest and the other Blackwood Elves were skeptical.
Few people would think that a dangerous lich would be proficient in performance and arrangement, and even a conductor of an orchestra!
"Unfortunately, no one among us, the Son of Chaos is on the spellcaster forum …"
"I have seen it! Chief Priest Olanca, back then … back then, I also replied. The name of the reply is Blackleaf. "
The elf priest, Ruweta, who was hiding at the back, suddenly raised her hand with some uncertainty and said.
"I have an impression of you." The Venerated Skeleton suddenly turned his head to look at Ruweta. The soul fire in his pupils burned hotter, "You dare to question my thoughts …"
"But … but I think Lord Hachi should be with his little master!"
Ruweta did not show any fear at this time, and she bravely refuted the Venerated Skeleton.
"Ugh … Let's resolve this dispute on the forum. It just so happens that other people in the spellcaster forum can also participate in it."
Josiah intervened between the two and stopped a meaningless quarrel in advance.
"Son of Chaos, please continue. About the purpose of this lich …"
"The purpose … is to hope that you can learn more music singing methods from this duke."
Josiah pointed to the back of the teleportation portal, which was connected to the Venerated Skeleton's castle. There were almost all kinds of musical instruments in the castle, and even an entire undead band.
The magic circle constructed by the blackwood elves could shield the breath of the Venerated Skeleton, so Josiah was confident that when the Venerated Skeleton arrived, he would not be discovered by the sages of Noland.
"Learn? Son of Chaos, are you going to let a lich be our music teacher? "
Olanca's priest seemed to have seen 'a group of dragon slayers ran into the dragon's cave, and the dragon sat down enthusiastically to teach the dragon slayers how to barbecue meat.'
Josiah's request made Olanca's priest's inherent impression of the liches a little shattered.
"Yes, you are going to face Noland's audience next. Not everyone likes the 'elven poetry' style of music, so if you want to win, you must learn more songs. The Venerated Skeleton is the only musician I know who has played all the music I know."
Josiah spread out his palm branded with the Venerated Skeleton's imprint, which overflowed with the Venerated Skeleton's death aura.
"Soul imprint … you … are this lich's master?" Olanca's priest instantly recognized the identity of Josiah and the Venerated Skeleton.
"Not master. I think it's more suitable to be a partner or a friend who likes music."
Before waiting for the Venerated Skeleton to speak, Josiah took the initiative to correct the blackwood elf's mistakes.
"I can guarantee your safety. This lich will never be interested in your souls or the World Tree. I have many excellent music scores for her to perform, including the background music of Tylin's records. The duchess and her orchestra are also the background music performers."
Josiah felt that Amway was almost done.
"Of course, you can choose to believe that your elven poetry is enough to conquer Noland's audience. I'm just giving you more choices this time."
To put it bluntly, the purpose of Josiah's "Singer of the World" was to let these blackwood elf priests become qualified stars. However, Josiah's so-called shady business was only limited to the audition. When they officially stepped onto the stage, it was up to them to go where they could go.
These blackwood elf priests were silent. Although they were confident in their singing, it was indeed as Josiah said.
The songs they knew were only elven poetry and some small tunes that couldn't be brought to the stage. They couldn't win Noland's audience.
"Chief Priest Olanca, can I … give it a try?"
