In the Twin Dragon Mount fort …
The Temple of Providence had been renovated and designed by the professional builders of the players. It could accommodate hundreds of people.
"Roar!"
From the top of the golden temple that was twelve meters tall, two Flood Dragons of Providence that were almost tangible spewed out golden light and hit the Sonic Bow, an offering on the new altar that had nine levels!
Yes, the Sonic Bow!
Of the five Perfect/Special offerings that they obtained from the Battlefield of Providence, one had been used up when they summoned Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba. The remaining three were the South King's Thunder Halberd, the North King's Water Stopping Stone, and the Yuan emperor's Sonic Bow!
Although the power of lightning was overwhelming and destructive, the Magma Monsters were made of magma, and the electricity couldn't work on them. Although the Water Stopping Stone had the word "water" in its name, it couldn't control seawater to extinguish fires.
Neither of the two was a suitable choice!
Only the Sonic Bow, as a weapon that had Transcendent power that involved soundwaves, would work wonders on the Magma Monsters.
Hum!
The Sonic Bow, activated by the power of providence, changed the Temple of Providence into the scene of the test.
However, this time was different from the previous two times. The entire battlefield was empty, and there was only a man wearing purple armor and a crown on his head, holding a Sonic Bow in his hand!
It was exactly the Yuan emperor!
"Huh? There aren't as many soldiers as before.
"In that case, won't the ritual test be much easier than the previous two times?"
An experienced player who was responsible for logistics sounded rather surprised.
Because the Magma Monsters' settlement hadn't been completely destroyed, most of the people of the Twin Dragon Island were still on the battlefield.
Even the combat personnel of the new players were sent over to "accumulate experience"!
Because of that, the number of participants in the ritual was the fewest in a long time. There were only a dozen players in the Temple of Providence.
"The Soul of Civilization this time is Extraordinary Rank-8, which is higher than the previous two times. Naturally, it's more likely to pass the test.
"However, in terms of difficulty, it might not be lower.
"Because the test is mainly influenced by the nature of the offering and the suppression of the settlement's providence. It has nothing to do with the level of the Soul of Civilization."
Elder Zhou, who assisted Su Nongying in managing the human resources of the settlement, shook his head.
"Strictly speaking, it's not necessarily a bad thing that the previous two offerings evolved into a large number of soldiers.
"Because in that case, a large part of the offering's power would be dispersed, and the East King and the West King would only be able to fight for one or two rounds.
"Since this Sonic Bow has chosen to condense a Yuan emperor, it means that the summoned hero must defeat him in a head-on battle in order to pass the test!
"Yes, I don't know, Stronghold Master. Did you choose to only summon heroes from settlements with our background this time? "
Elder Zhou turned to Ji Ye and asked.
"Well, since it's an Extraordinary Rank-8 Soul of Civilization, I didn't choose to expand the summoning range!"
Ji Ye nodded.
In the Water Margin and the Han Dynasty setting of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, few heroes could pass the test at Extraordinary Rank-7 except for Zhao Yun, who was very talented!
However, there wouldn't be too few Extraordinary Rank-8 heroes who could pass the test.
Just as Ji Ye expected, it didn't take long after the Sonic Bow was set up.
On the empty battlefield, the Soul of Civilization that the leader of the Magma Monsters dropped had also changed. In a burst of golden light, it turned into a tall, slender man who was wearing a white scholar's robe and a red general's cloak that was as red as fire on his back. The man's face was blurred!
["The great river flows east, and the waves wash away all the heroes of the ages!"]
At the same time, a loud poem echoed in the Temple of Providence!
However, this time, the voice wasn't as loud as before.
Instead, it was sung in a certain rhythm, and it was accompanied by a powerful background sound that sounded like a pipa or an iron board.
"Huh? Is this poem 'Su Shi'?"
Su Nongying's eyes suddenly glittered.
Although it was only one line, it was too familiar to most people of Chidragon.
Not only were they familiar with the poem itself, but they were also familiar with the person who wrote it.
In particular, for Su Nongying, the chief steward of the Twin Dragon Island, this poem belonged to her family!
Su Shi, on the other hand, was from the Song Dynasty, which was also set in the Northern Song Dynasty, just like Water Margin. It was indeed possible for him to be summoned!
However, how did Layman Dongpo relate to the Sound Bow?
"That's right. Although Su Dongpo was an all-rounder in ancient literature, and his poems, books, and essays were all among the best in history, he was also a famous foodie in history."
"But he doesn't seem to have any attainments in the aspects of sound and bow, does he?"
An Quan, whose hair had turned bald again, was confused.
He didn't participate in the battle against the Magma Monsters, because he had been appointed by Ji Ye as the director of the SkyNet construction.
At this moment, he was going back to the fort to ask Su Nongying for some items from the treasury, and he happened to run into the third ritual of the Transcendent hero.
"How can they be unrelated?
"Su Shi is the Sage of Lyrics. Ancient lyrics were originally meant to be sung. At first, they were called Qu Ci, and later, they were called Yuefu and Qinqu. Even to this day, apart from the melody, a song still has a 'lyric' category. "
"From that point of view, it's not that Su Shi has nothing to do with music. Instead, he's very much related to it. He's the most famous lyricist in the history of Chidragon in the past five thousand years."
Elder Zhou, however, pointed out the close connection between Su Shi and music.
"However, with Su Shi's literary achievements, he's definitely a Legendary hero. I don't think he'll arrive right now."
Then, Elder Zhou denied the possibility that the hero in the white robe was Su Shi.
"If it's not Su Shi, who can it be?"
This caused a few players in the hall to be slightly dumbfounded.
"Why do you think that the poem 'Remembering Your Charms: Remembrance of the Chibi' refers to Su Shi, the author?"
Ji Ye's eyes glowed as he stared at the hero in the white robe, which was a general's cloak.
"Don't tell me that none of you have ever considered that this refers to the person represented by the poem?"
By the time Ji Ye finished his sentence, the singing in the hall had reached the next line.
["To the west of the old fortress, it is said that Zhou of the Three Kingdoms is the Chibi!"]
"Ah!
"Wait, Master, are you saying that the hero who will arrive this time is' Zhou Yu 'from the Three Kingdoms?"
One of the core players looked pleasantly surprised.
It was indeed a pleasant surprise.
In terms of achievements, Zhou Yu couldn't compare to Su Shi, who had reached the top in several fields.
However, thanks to the influence of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu was as popular and famous as Su Dongpo on Earth.
More importantly, Zhou Yu wasn't a regular general. He had been a strategist during the Three Kingdoms period.
If he could successfully arrive, it would mean that the Twin Dragon Island would have a top "military counselor" hero in their settlement!
