"Challengers, you can discuss who will go first. After confirming, press the statue on the table and you can go on stage. Remember, each challenger can only go on stage once, so choose carefully. Finally, I would like to remind you not to discuss for too long. The audience is waiting for you. "
At this point, the host went completely silent.
At this moment, the people sitting in the suspended seats felt the power binding their bodies slowly disappear.
Other than not being able to leave their seats, the restrictions on talking, small movements, and other related restrictions were all removed.
After the restrictions were removed, everyone looked at Glepnir immediately.
This time, the focus was on Glepnir's fourth track. They had decided to participate in this relay race to bet on whether Glepnir could use a fairyland item. If he could, their bet would be successful and their chances of passing the race would increase greatly.
Under everyone's gaze, Glepnir hesitated for a moment. Then, he carefully reached his hand into the void and slowly retracted it.
Seeing this, everyone relaxed. Since Gleipnir could reach his hand into the void, it meant that the Celestial Realm space where the items were placed could be opened.
Since the fairyland space could be opened, the items inside should be able to be taken out.
"Yes." As expected, after Glepnir retracted his hand, he gave an affirmative answer.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. If he could use a whip, their chances of success would increase greatly. This was good news for them. At least their bet had paid off.
However, the next second, Laplace's words made everyone's hearts sink.
Laplace said to Luigi, "You have to get full marks this time."
Before, they had thought that they could pass the race, but now the host had clearly said that they had to get at least 75 points to pass. Full marks were 20 points. Each of them had to get 15 points. This was not an easy task.
Thinking of this, everyone appeared to be deeply worried.
Instead, Luigi said confidently, "I'm confident that I can conquer a group of people who haven't seen the world with my original song."
Laplace recognized Luigi's ability. His voice and charisma were both top-notch. She had confidence in Luigi too. However —
"Don't be an original. You can sing that …" Laplace paused as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he said, "The King of Light Conquering the Mountain Dragon."
Luigi frowned. "My original work is also very good."
Laplace said indifferently, "Are you sure your original work can surpass this one?"
Luigi didn't say anything. His original work definitely couldn't surpass this song. After all, this song was …
"Oh, Lord of Light Conquering Mountain Dragon is from one of the Six Chapters of Divine Punishment?"
"You've heard of it?" Luigi looked at Angor in surprise.
"I think everyone in the wizarding world knows about this poem of praise. After all, the author is a truth-finder sorcerer. "
"Hymn" Guang Yu.
Hymn Sorcerer, a rank 1 truth-finder sorcerer from Rest Torch Academy, was the symbol of the academic faction.
Most of the Wizards from Rest Torch Academy were artists, and Guang Yu was the same. He was good at poetry and singing. He had created countless poems, the most famous of which were the Three Sacred Hymns, the Six Divine Punishments, and the Thirteen Human Traces.
The reason why they were famous was because these three types of poems were all extraordinary poems. The Three Sacred Hymns were like sacred music. They had the same effect as potions, but they were better than potions. They could calm people's minds and allow them to meditate while listening to the hymns. They could even reach the level of "calmness" if they were good enough. The Six Divine Punishments were all epic hymns. The first three hymns were praises that increased group buffs. The last three hymns were sorrowful songs that could inflict debuffs on all enemies.
As for the Thirteen Human Traces, they were only performed in Rest Torch Academy. It was said that they were useful for Element and Bloodline Apprentices.
"The King of Light Conquering the Mountain Dragon" was one of the first three hymns in the Six Divine Punishments.
Luigi nodded. "Oh, right. It's from Rest Torch Academy in the southern wizarding region. It's normal that you know about it."
It was no secret in the southern wizarding region that Angor knew about it. As long as one was strong enough, he or she could easily find the content of the poems. After all, this series of extraordinary poems could only be recited by the Wizards of Rest Torch Academy. Even if an outsider knew the contents of the poem, they wouldn't be able to sing the rhythm within.
"How did you know?" Angor asked curiously.
"I got it from the Sea of Mirrors."
"…" Did he just pull out the Empty Mirror Ocean? Angor knew what Luigi meant. He just didn't expect the Sea of Mirrors to be able to find something like that.
"Did you see anything? Was it Wizard Guang Yu's singing?" Angor asked.
Luigi shook his head. "No. It was an apprentice from Rest Torch Academy reading a book. The book recorded the Three Sacred Hymns and the Six Divine Punishments. Unfortunately, the mirror memory had been eroded by the Empty Mirror Ocean. I only saw three of them, and one of them was incomplete. "
Angor felt a little disappointed that it was not Wizard Guang Yu's singing. He would love to hear it if it was Wizard Guang Yu. He even wanted to make it into a music box. Even if he did not need it, he could give it to Toby.
It was not a big deal if he only saw the poems in the book.
Angor already saw two of the Seven Divine Punishments in Sunders' library. One was a hymn, and the other was a lament.
Back in the research department, Sunders even found the original text of the Three Hymns when he was explaining the content of the movie box. He just did not use it in the end.
The only one that was not known to the public was the Thirteen Songs of Men. It was said that the Thirteen Songs of Men changed every year. Even if it was not fake, it would probably become fake the next year.
"If you want to sing 'The King of Light Conquering the Mountain Dragon', it's a good choice."
"The King of Light Conquering the Mountain Dragon" was both a hymn and an epic poem. As long as Angor did not make any mistakes, it would be a killer.
"But isn't 'The King of Light Conquering the Mountain Dragon' a little inappropriate? How about you change it? Didn't you see Wizard Guang Yu's three hymns?"
Luigi was about to answer when Laplace interrupted him. "Just don't sing something original, Luigi. We can talk about it later. Luigi's on the third track, and it's still early. We can talk about it later. According to the host, the longer we wait, the lower the audience's impression of us, which might affect our final score. "
Angor and Luigi exchanged a look and did not say anything.
Laplace looked at the others, especially the rabbit girl. "There's a limit to the score in this race, but you should focus on clearing the stage. Under the premise of clearing the game, do as much as possible to increase your score. "
"How … to improve my score?" The rabbit girl asked in a small voice.
Laplace didn't know how to improve her score. She had never tried acting before. She looked at Luigi and hoped he could give her some advice.
Luigi looked at the rabbit girl in silence and did not say anything.
He knew how to perform, but he did not know how to teach.
Besides, the rabbit girl's specialty was fighting. He could not ask her to show off her fighting skills on the steel rope. It was not impossible, but they would not have enough time to clear the stage.
They should focus on clearing the stage and not think about anything else.
Laplace did not know what to do. She knew Luigi would not give her any useful advice. After all, the rabbit girl was using her childhood memories, and she had never performed before.
"Fine, let's do it. At least Gleipnir can use a whip. That's good news, "Laplace said." As for the rest … we'll talk about it later. "
The rabbit girl nodded and tried to press her hand on the statue to show that she would be the first to go.
However, Angor stopped her.
Angor carefully observed the rabbit girl's cute face and big watery eyes. "Why don't you go and act cute?"
Rabbit girl: "Act cute?"
No one understood the meaning of this word.
Angor cleared his throat. "What I mean is, you don't have to hurry. Do some stretching exercises first, like moving your legs or your hands. You can also eat some carrots to improve your stamina."
"… I don't have any carrots in my bag," the rabbit girl said in a low voice.
She did have a carrot bag, but there were no carrots in it.
"Then think of it as a carrot and take a few bites. Then close your eyes and remember how it feels like. That's fine. "
The rabbit girl did not know what was going on.
"It's just a suggestion. You can try it. Of course, it's fine if you don't want to try it."
The rabbit girl still did not understand what Angor meant. She scratched her head and stepped onto the stage.
As the rabbit girl stepped onto the stage, the MC's voice came again. It was the same old introduction, but the audience applauded loudly. The MC did not reveal the bag, but the audience was still applauding. Was it because they were looking forward to the race, or did they see the rabbit girl scratching her head in confusion?
The rabbit girl did not understand what Angor meant. However, she thought about it carefully and decided that it was just a pre-race preparation. It would not affect the race, so she could just follow it.
Next, the audience watched as the rabbit girl did her best stretching exercises on the mountain top of the first track.
From time to time, he would jump, and from time to time, he would stretch with all his might against the thick costume. Even though it was just a simple movement, the applause from the audience did not stop as he continued to make "Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu".
The rabbit girl was puzzled. Why did the audience keep applauding? What was there to see? But since there was applause, it meant she was doing the right thing. So, she followed Angor's instructions and began to eat carrots.
The applause also reached its peak at this moment.
Seeing this, everyone in the air realized what Angor was trying to do. He was just using his cute face to get applause. Would that really help him get more points? It was hard to say.
Even if it could, the rabbit girl was probably the only one who could do it. After all, other people were not good at acting cute.
However, no matter what, the applause had been deceived.
Gleipnir looked at Angor. "You're … smart."
It did not sound like a sincere compliment. Angor shrugged and did not say anything.
While the rabbit girl was doing her best to get more votes, Luigi and Angor continued to discuss the choice of the poem.
"Why doesn't 'The Lord of Light Crushes the Mountain Dragon' suit the occasion?" Luigi asked curiously.
Angor did not hesitate to explain.
"The Lord of Light Crushes the Mountain Dragon" described how the God of Light slayed a monster called Mountain Dragon in order to save the people who were suffering from a disaster.
Just like many stories, the summary was very simple, but the content would be different depending on the writer's skill level. Wizard Light Plume was a very good writer, and his story was full of ups and downs, which were fascinating enough.
Even wizards who had experienced great storms and waves would be attracted by the contents of the Light King's Crusade against the Mountain Dragon. It was easy to catch a glimpse of it.
"The Lord of Light Crushes the Mountain Dragon" was good, but Angor still felt that it did not suit the occasion.
Because the Shan Dragon that the protagonist, the God of Light, went to fight was actually a sea beast. Wizard Light Plume did not specify what kind of sea monster it was, but it sounded like some kind of carnivorous whale.
What kind of creatures were most afraid of carnivorous whales in the sea? Dolphins, seals, sea lions, and so on.
Luigi's mount in the third track was a dolphin. If she heard Luigi describe in detail how scary and terrifying the Shan Long was, would she be frightened?
Even though Shan Long died in the end, Shan Long's death was the end of the story. It was the last chapter of the entire poem. Could the Fantasy Dolphin persist until the last chapter?
Of course, the dolphin probably did not understand the poem.
But what if it did?
What if it did?
To avoid such a situation, Angor thought it would be better to change the theme.
Luigi nodded. "You're right. Then I'll go with the original —"
"No, don't. If this doesn't work, try something else. "Laplace quickly interrupted Luigi.
Angor had heard of Luigi's original work before, but … it was a long story.
Luigi did not dare to argue with Laplace. Angor took the opportunity to ask Luigi what other poems the man knew apart from "The Lord of Light Crushes the Mountain Dragon".
Luigi considered. "'Lord of Eternal Night Emerges from the Abyss' and 'Hymn of the Sea Spirit'."
"Lord of Eternal Night Emerges from the Abyss" was one of the first three hymns of the Six Chapters of Divine Punishment. "Hymn of the Sea Spirit" was the last of the three hymns.
"Of the two, I prefer 'Praise of the Sea Spirit'. As the last chapter of the Prelude, it's perfect. Also, it's a good song to praise the creatures living in the sea."
It did not matter if the silver sea was a sea or not. It did not matter if the dolphin was a sea creature.
"Hymn of the Sea Spirit" was definitely better than "The Lord of Light Crushes the Mountain Dragon".
"'Lord of the Eternal Night Emerges from the Abyss' is fine too. It's not appropriate, but it doesn't spoil the mood either. You can decide for yourself."
