Crown of Silence

Chapter 359 Dangerous Nature

For a musician like Grant who specializes in the Transformation System, the Anglu School, which is also proficient in the Transformation System and has combined the summoning faction, is undoubtedly a formidable enemy.

As a rising star of the Anglu School, Gavin became a thorn in everyone's eyes as soon as the trial was held.

However, for some reason, he did not show up, and was replaced by a revelation musician that no one had heard of, a teenager who had just entered the Anglu Royal Conservatory of Music half a year ago.

It's like he is not interested in the future position of the Three Kings, so he simply sent someone to deal with the task.

Or in other words, to die.

This is also a question that many people are puzzled about-can't the future position of the Saint, the crown representing the King, make Gavin excited?

Or is that guy crazy?

"... What do you mean?"

Grant was silent for a moment, and said in a muffled voice: "Speak frankly, I hate beating around the bush."

"Do you know why Gavin didn't come here on behalf of the Royal Academy?"

Colt looked at him coldly: "I just got the news yesterday: just before the trial, Gavin, the pride of the Anglo Royal School, who was almost destined to be one of the masters of the future Royal Musicians, disappeared mysteriously.

It can be said that he disappeared from the face of the earth.

Many clues prove that his disappearance is related to Ye Qingxuan.

If my guess is correct, he should have died at the hands of Ye Qingxuan, and his death was unclear. Even the Royal Musicians did not dare to collect Gavin's body.

At the same time, I also received a list of all the musicians who died in Avalon this year. More than half of them are suspected of being related to him.

If you were to rank them according to seniority, you wouldn't even make the top ten!

Do you understand what I mean? Grant, don't make the wrong idea.

The dead people suspected of being related to him are almost covering Queen's Road. If you are included, it's just a few inches of land. I think he will not be stingy.

Anyway, it's just this big. "

As he said, Colt stretched out his hand and drew a small circle lightly, marking his future burial place.

Looking at the small circle that was just enough to hold an urn, Grant couldn't help but take a step back, feeling cold all over.

"I will check it myself. "

Grant's face twitched, and in order to cover up his loss of composure, he stopped arguing and turned to leave.

Colt watched him go away, sneered, and looked back at his side.

"You've been looking for a long time, don't you plan to say anything?"

Beside him, a figure stood there at some point.

"If I have to say... I have to say that the rumors are all outrageous, don't believe them."

The white-haired young man held a pipe in his mouth and said sincerely: "Gavin and I are good friends, really, it's true, don't make up rumors, Queen's Road is so big, I can't bury a few people even if I kill them all by myself, right?"

"Don't joke, Mr. Ye."

Colt glanced at Ye Qingxuan, and said meaningfully: "I have already deeply experienced your dangerous nature."

Ye Qingxuan also smiled, lowered his head, and looked at the slowly burning fire in the pipe.

"Dangerous... nature?"

——

In the silent hall, there was only the sound of footsteps.

Dozens of musicians stood quietly in the huge hall. Compared with the overly wide space here, the existence of human beings seemed so small. Even if all people stood together, they were not as thick as a pillar supporting the dome.

Now they are like mortals who have entered the kingdom of heaven. Behind the huge stone door in front of them, there are melodious hymns and gods watching.

Unfortunately, this is not heaven, but under the nine earths.

Behind the stone door is not the kingdom of gods, but the underworld, a tomb that has been sealed for hundreds of years.

The musicians who are willing to work together to break the seal have come here early, accounting for most of the participants in the trial.

After all, anyone with a little bit of reason will understand how insignificant the power of an individual is in breaking such a large-scale relic. If you have no experience before, then after being "taught a lesson" by the clay puppet army, you will immediately understand this truth.

This loose alliance is only based on breaking the door to the underworld. Although they agreed to join forces, everyone was obviously wary of each other, did not get close to each other, and did not talk rashly.

In the inner circle of the crowd, in front of the Gate of Hades, Miller quietly pulled Ye Qingxuan over and lowered his voice: "Are you really sure you can crack this thing?"

"No."

Ye Qingxuan said calmly: "How can it be possible? I'm not even at the resonance level. If I say I'm sure, it would be strange, right?"

"..."

Miller's face turned green.

In the team, Samuel didn't care about anything else except formulas and music, and Barlow's paranoid brain was never good. The only one who had a little bit of mind was Miller from the chant faction. After all, "team doctor" is also a technical job, and you have to be more careful.

But he didn't expect that he was just curious, but got such explosive news.

He screamed and quickly covered his mouth: "Then you still..."

"There's no harm in agreeing."

Ye Qingxuan blew a whistle, patted his shoulder, and whispered: "If you see that the momentum is not right, or see me making a secret signal, run quickly, otherwise the result may be bad."

"Oops?"

Miller was stunned: "How bad?"

"If you take it lightly, the barrier will explode to pieces, or you will be buried alive along with the entire palace."

Miller's face turned pale for a moment: "Is this considered light?!"

"Of course, the Gate of Hades is a strategic-level specification jointly produced by more than five master musicians. The principle is to extract power from the etheric world through music theory connection."

Ye Qingxuan said: "If the consequences of failed cracking are serious, it is not impossible to be directly pulled into the 'ethereal world' by the rioting music theory. If you are not shattered to pieces in the sea of ​​ether by then..."

Miller's expression twitched.

He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of being assimilated into the ether and being annihilated in the sea of ​​ether, or worse, falling into the ether world, which was famous for its weirdness and inexplicability.

Soon, he reacted: "We ran away, what will you do?"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Ye Qingxuan patted him on the shoulder and smiled proudly: "I dare not say how good the competition is, but when it comes to running fast, there is no one here who can beat me."

"..."

-

Soon, Torre in gray clothes came from the crowd, holding a parchment in his hand and handed it to Ye Qingxuan: "This is a fair contract. If there is no problem, just sign it."

What is written in the contract is an agreement to ensure that everyone can join forces with confidence, including that each other will not attack each other during the period. The terms are careful and rigorous. In the movement on the parchment scroll, the intervals and music theory are also compact and concise. Ye Qingxuan After reading it once, I can't fault it.

"As expected of a disciplinary lawyer."

Ye Qingxuan nodded, signed his name, and allowed the music theory in the contract to enter his body. Soon, he felt a faint coldness on the back of his neck.

It was as if there was a blade against it.

This is a contract of the Forbidden School. Once signed, one will suffer backlash from the ether in the body. According to the terms, when the time comes, the ether will turn into iron and break out of the body from the neck.

In short, beheading.

Only with such a guarantee will everyone let down their guard and join forces.

Although he is also an official musician of the Forbidden School, the Shixin School inherited by Ye Qingxuan is good at the construction of small sources and the erection of wide-area barriers. It is classified as the "Way of Domain", and the "Way of Discipline" for countermeasures and contracts. 'Not proficient, just a basic understanding.

Faced with Ye Qingxuan's compliment, Torre just smiled.

"Excuse me. Compared with your 'Ether Furnace', this is nothing. If you have time in the future, you can communicate more."

While he was speaking, he seemed to glance at Ye Qingxuan's chest unintentionally, as if he was aware of the massive ether and the music theory of the Forbidden School there.

However, he mistook Xiao Yuan for an implanted 'ether furnace' that could enhance the intensity of the music.

Ye Qingxuan did not correct this.

After breaking away from the unlimited ether supply of the Great Barrier of Avalon, the storage in Xiaoyuan was only enough for him to activate the resonance mode for fifteen minutes. After the fifteen minutes, he would have to buffer for another twenty-four hours.

This is his most important trump card and also his weakness. Naturally, he enjoys letting others guess wrong.

-

Soon, after confirming the contract, Torre left.

This guy is still wearing gray clothes that have been washed until they are about to fade and turn white. He does not have any alchemy equipment on his body, and he looks rigid and rigorous.

Each step is exactly thirty-five centimeters, not one centimeter more, not one centimeter less. The stride length seemed to be measured with a ruler, and the speed was surprisingly balanced.

Breathe every five seconds, blink every seven seconds, exactly.

It's like there are invisible rules that rigidly frame him, covering every detail. There are careful standards for every move, how to walk, how to breathe, how to beat the heart.

This is the price of becoming a disciplined musician, to completely quantify everything and implement rules and music theory into every corner of life.

Behind him, Casper, who was following closely, exuded wild animality all the time. When he looked at others with his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to choose them to devour.

One is a wooden man, and the other is like a wild beast.

This pair of brothers are both extremely abnormal.

Soon, Ye Qingxuan retracted his gaze without leaving any trace, and continued to look back at the huge stone door behind him.

"Has the interpretation started?"

Colt stood next to him and asked, "Where are you going to start?"

What Ye Qingxuan is doing is to find an "entry point" from the intricate musical structure of Gate of Hades to facilitate subsequent interpretation work. This is the most important work in the early preparations.

In this regard, Ye Qingxuan just took out a marker and marked two lines on the stone door. The lines were straight and staggered on the lower right side of the stone door, marking a small dot.

"This is it."

He drew a circle on that point, relaxed and freehand, like graffiti: "The seams left over when the alchemists collaborated are enough buffers."

Colt glanced at him in astonishment, "You've already given up on it?"

"Be prepared for a rainy day."

Ye Qingxuan smiled: "When are you going to start?"

"Without further ado."

Colt pondered for a moment, and after confirming that all preparations were complete, he pulled out the 'counter-adjustable' dagger from his arms, held it tightly with both hands, and slowly thrust it out into the stone door.

Three inches away, the stone door shook violently and dust danced wildly.

collapse!
