The system elf's voice came again. "Detected Aurelia Windrunner's hostility toward you under her fake expression. Do you want to load the boss template? Calculating the threat value … The threat value is quite chaotic, but it is strongly recommended that the host surrender immediately … "
Surrender my ass!
What's the point of thinking so much? The translation of that look was: Kid, I don't like the look of you. Hurry up and coax me, or else I'll make you suffer later.
Duque didn't know what happened to Aurelia. He only knew that everything had a cause and effect. If it was just because of that friendly interaction, Aurelia wouldn't have pulled out the entire Windrunner family.
On the other hand, although he hadn't known Aurelia for long, Duque knew that something must have happened to Aurelia. Otherwise, Aurelia wouldn't have minded him fawning over Princess Kalia.
After all, among the three Windrunner sisters in history, Aurelia was famous for being mature and steady. She wasn't the kind of woman who would be unreasonable and lose her temper at will.
Calling herself an 'old woman' … If Aurelia was a warrior, she would be full of anger!!
Duque's heart skipped a beat!
Then Duque understood!
Wasn't he just going to show off even more?
Wasn't he just coaxing the goddess?
Duque slowly turned his head and glanced at Turalyon. He didn't know why, but he felt that the holy light slowly overflowing from Turalyon's head was green. Yes, that must be the light called 'protection.'
Duque smiled. His right hand drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the fingers of his right hand closed and fell on his left shoulder.
"Sister Aurelia, for your beauty, please allow the Duque Orchestra to perform 'Ode to Joy'!"
Ode to Joy?
Did it sound like the name of a song?
Was it a hymn?
Or something else?
But, singing here? A cappella?
What did the Duque Orchestra mean?
Not only Aurelia, but all the Alliance elders were also curious.
In any case, Aurelia had made up her mind. Since she had forced Duque to this point, she would see what he could do. As long as Duque's Ice and Fire Magic Rose was worse than that Ice and Fire Magic Rose, then he wouldn't accept it and would teach Duque a lesson.
Aurelia supported her right elbow with her left hand and her right cheek with her right hand. She looked like she was waiting to watch a good show.
Duque activated his Arcane and Ice Magic Circuits at the same time.
A purplish-blue, mysterious magic array suddenly unfolded beneath Duque's feet. The elements in the air around him trembled and were quickly tamed, as if they had become a part of Duque's body, obediently listening to Duque's commands.
Under the noon sun, in the shallow water on both sides of the dock where Duque and the others stood, crystal clear pillars of ice as thick as an arm suddenly rose. The tallest one was more than ten meters high.
It might not be appropriate to call them pillars, but these hollow ice tubes were even finer than glass tubes carved by craftsmen. Not only were they thick, but they were also crystal clear, much more transparent than most glass in this era.
The sudden appearance of so many tubes on the beach next to the dock not only attracted the attention of the High Elves who were lining up, but also stunned all the human guards at the dock.
What was this?
Not to mention the kings and generals, even the elves who had lived for countless years and thought they were knowledgeable couldn't tell what it was at all.
Percussion music?
Organ?
But it didn't seem like it.
Duque gave Aurelia the most confident smile, raised his left hand in a very pretentious manner, and snapped his fingers.
28 Hands of Magic appeared next to the ice tubes in two rows, like musicians in an orchestra who were preparing to play instruments. Each pair of Hands of Magic that emitted soft white light made a relaxed posture similar to a conductor's starting hand.
In the next second, the performance began.
"Bang!" With a bang, as a team of Hands of Magic touched the third tube on the left, the ice tube immediately flew into the air, and then, like a silver bottle exploding, it instantly exploded into countless ice crystal powder. The ice crystals made of seawater exploded and dispersed under the sunlight, forming a gorgeous effect like fireworks.
Aurelia's sexy long ears twitched. She seemed to hear a sound — "Mi"?!
She thought she was hallucinating, but as more Hands of Magic made the tubes rise into the air and explode like plucked strings, not only did the powdery ice crystals form a colorful rainbow in the sky, but she also heard a complete song …
"Mi, mi, fa, suo, suo, fa, mi …"
This was a song that crossed endless time and space, civilizations, and worlds.
Beethoven's classic "Ode to Joy" was presented in the most magical form in Duque's hands. The joy and excitement in the song were all clearly and unmistakably conveyed to the ears of everyone present.
Most of the human soldiers were uncouth and instinctively felt that the rhythm was pleasant and joyful.
But the high-ranking nobles and kings knew what was good for them.
Of course, the most knowledgeable were the High Elves, who had spent thousands of years of boredom and immersed themselves in music and art when they had nothing to do.
Most of the High Elves were self-proclaimed nobility and looked down on a young and short-lived race like humans. They felt that humans were very uncouth, but in fact, they were not much better than the so-called barbaric orcs.
Duque had completely changed their views.
Not only in their eyes, but Duque had an unparalleled talent for songwriting.
There was also Duque's extraordinary control of magical elements.
Most of the High Elves who were Rangers were not very talented in magic, but it did not mean that they had no vision. The long years had given them unparalleled experience and vision.
They could almost see at a glance that although Duque's mage level was not high, his exquisite and terrifying control of magic was definitely not inferior to most of the members of the Silver Moon Council.
What level was the members of the Silver Moon Council?
They represented the pinnacle of the High Elves' magic civilization.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they stood at the peak of the magic field in the entire world.
This was quite a high evaluation.
Looking at Duque waving his hands lightly like a conductor, pretending to "direct" those Hands of Magic to play the song without making any mistakes.
The three Windrunner sisters who were present were angry and amused at the same time.
But the three sisters who had seen through Duque all regarded it as a small mistake in casting multiple spells. After all, normally, no one could do so many different things at the same time without making a mistake.
"Oh, so he is Duke Marcus," the calm Lilas said softly to herself.
In the Whisper of Wind, Cirvanas laughed and said, "You really are a little guy with endless new surprises. No wonder Big Sister loves you so much, not hesitating to …"
"Enough!" Aurelia interrupted Cirvanas in the Whisper of Wind.
Ignoring the others' reactions, Aurelia the Great Demon Queen was very satisfied. She walked over in public and gave Duque a passionate kiss … Well, unfortunately, it was on Duque's forehead.
"Little brother Duque —"
Duque was speechless.
Damn!
