Mortal Epic of Douluo

Tonight's night is full of stars, it coincides with the end of the month, and the vast sky is almost unobstructed by dark clouds.

The academic style of the Balak Kingdom is very different from other places. As the de facto geographical center of the continent, countless mathematical schools meet here. Among them is an organization that observes and records astronomy [Star Observation Pavilion], which is opened every time the night sky is clear.

The observatory is open to all astronomy enthusiasts.

Atreus liked observing astronomy very much. Although he chose bioarchaeology in his previous life for some reasons, it did not hinder his yearning for the vast universe.

Twenty miles outside Soto City there is a mountain called Mao'er Mountain. It rises from the flat and endless Lima Plain and is as high as two thousand meters. It is the most suitable place for stargazing near Soto City.

[Star Star Pavilion] There is a branch there.

So at Atreus's suggestion, everyone in the second team followed him to Mao'er Mountain. Of course, Lou Qiao didn't come. That guy probably went to have a drink with Oslo and Yufeng, but there was one more person.

Dugu Yan followed, which is exactly the lineup for tonight's team battle.

There are not many people in the Star Observation Pavilion at the top of Mao'er Mountain. The Star Observation Pavilion is only organized by some idle soul masters who love astronomy. Its organizational strength is not strong. It is said that its leader is only at the soul king level.

Most of the people who can come here to visit are from well-off families. The nobles are very sensual and the poor are working hard to survive. However, well-off families have both time and financial resources to participate in these things that do not consume too much money or energy.

There is an astronomical constellation map in the Star Observation Pavilion with a length of two meters and a width of two meters. The coordinates of the star map that can be observed in Soto City and are easy to observe are marked to facilitate people's observation.

Ning Rongrong likes to be exposed to this kind of new things, so after Atreus paid the usage fee of one silver coin and the deposit of five silver coins, she was the first to go to an unused astronomical telescope seat and start tinkering.

.

But soon she turned around and asked doubtfully: "How to use this thing? Doesn't it mean that if you point your eyes at this hole, you can see the stars getting bigger? Why can't I see anything?"

"Pfft..." Atreus couldn't help but laughed out loud, and gave Oscar a signal to show his face in front of Ning Rongrong.

When he was in Haagen-Dazs, Oscar often followed Atreus to watch the stars at night, and he also bought some telescopes, but the magnifications were relatively low.

"Rongrong, come here, let me teach you how to use it." Oscar walked forward with a smile, reached out and took off the cover on the front of the telescope, and then motioned for Ning Rong to continue using it.

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue coquettishly and gently raised her little fist to hit Oscar's chest, as if she was angry at herself for not being able to do such a simple thing.

"Wow wow wow -" Ning Rongrong just took a look and exclaimed with joy, "Oh my God! So beautiful!"

Ning Rongrong was immediately amazed by the scene in the astronomical telescope. When she looked up at the night sky before, she had never thought that these stars hanging high in the night sky would look like this.

Not only Ning Rongrong, but Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan on the other side also began to marvel. This was the first time they saw the "true face" of the vastness. In the past, they only paid attention to their feet, but now they looked up at the night sky and realized that the stars were so bright.

.

Atreus took out a voice soul guide from his storage ring. Like the amplified soul guide used in the Great Soul Fighting Arena, they were both high-quality soul guides produced by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. As the name suggests,

Of course it can store sounds.

Inject soul power into it, and the voice-recording soul guide will begin to play the sounds stored in it.

The first thing that struck my ears was the gentle sound of a piano, speaking softly.

Twenty-eight seconds later, the piano rhythm accelerated, and a plucked string sound was added. There was no guitar in this world, and Atreus didn’t know how to make a guitar, so he tried dozens of string instruments and found one called "Luoluo".

"The folk music instrument of the Kingdom of Morik replaces the sound of the classical guitar.

Forty-eight seconds in, the cello joins in, adding a layer of heaviness to the whole piece.

At one minute and nine seconds, the violin follows up, and the layering suddenly becomes more distinct.

At one minute and thirty seconds, the tambourine joins in. Five instruments and five levels are integrated into each other, but they seem to be separated.

At one minute and fifty seconds, with a foreboding sound from the cello, the piece finally broke out and reached its first climax. Especially starting from two minutes and one second, the violin completely became the center of the performance, and all the emotions began at this moment

Orderly explosion, depression, loneliness, misery, desolation, despair, relief, weeping and complaining...

Everyone present was completely immersed in this beautiful piece of music. No one dared to breathe loudly for fear of missing any note. The original joy, expectation, and yearning for the vast starry sky disappeared after this piece of music started playing.

Completely transformed, they seem to feel that they are just a smiling dust in the vast starry sky.

The stars are shining and moving, but the people living on the ground are so small and pathetic.

"Did you write this piece of music?"

Dugu Yan was the first to wake up from the aftertaste of the music. The first thing he did after his thoughts changed was to ask Atreus, his charming face full of expectation.

"No," Atreus looked at the stars, trying to see the way he came, "The person who composed this piece of music is called Ludovico Iodi. He is a... musician that none of you know.

.”

"You are talking nonsense again," Zhu Zhuqing looked at Atreus slightly angrily, "I have never heard such touching music since I was born. The person who created it must not be an unknown person! Poetry

Regardless of whether it’s music or music, I’ve never heard of any of the names of the authors you mentioned, so who else could it be if it wasn’t you?”

Atreus sighed and looked at her with a complicated expression, "I know you don't believe it, so you just think that I had a dream, dreamed about these poems and music, and then brought them to this world.

Bar."

Zhu Zhuqing liked music very much, which Atreus only learned about after taking classes at Tiandou Royal Academy. She said that although she came from a big family in the Star Luo Empire, she had been alone since she was nine years old.

Only music can soothe her lonely soul.

"Okay, I just think this song is very suitable to play when looking up at the stars. I brought you here today to make you happy and continue to look at the stars."

Atreus pushed Zhu Zhuqing back to her seat and asked her to concentrate on watching the starry sky, "A little to the left, no, a little to the right, a little to the right, then down, yes, down... Okay, carefully.

Look, do you see anything?"

"There are two very bright stars."

"Besides these two stars, can we see other stars?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at it carefully for a while, "There seem to be four fairly bright stars. The bright star on the right is not far to the lower right, and there is one slightly further to the upper right; the bright star on the left is

There is one very close to the left, and there is one far away on the lower left.”

"Yes, there are six stars in total. Do you want to know its name?"

Atreus came a little close, so close that when he spoke, his breath could just blow past her earlobes. Zhu Zhuqing held the telescope tightly, and it seemed that not only her eyes were looking up, but her heart had drifted to the starry sky.

bingo.

She followed his words absentmindedly and asked, "Does it... have a name?"

"Yes, of course." Atreus stood up straight and looked in that direction in the night sky, as if he could see the bright starry sky clearly without the aid of an astronomical telescope.

Atreus spread his arms, looking like he was embracing the starry sky, "I call it - the God of War constellation."

"This is what Atreus' brother Kratos taught him. His brother said that the name of the constellation of the God of War is Ares, and the name of Atreus comes from this. It is said that these six stars are the stars of the God of War.

Incarnation." Oscar helped Atreus explain.

It's an interesting statement, but no one paid much attention to it. There are all kinds of weird stories on Douluo Continent. Some are widely known all over the world, and some only exist in isolated villages.

Just like the widely circulated story of the angel god killing evil and saving the world, it is said that the legend of the sea god is also spread on the west coast of the mainland. It is normal for Atreus to have a story about the god of war.

Just when they didn't take it seriously, Atreus's body suddenly changed, and a bright starlight suddenly bloomed from his chest. It was gorgeous and dazzling. At the same time, everyone on the Star Observation Pavilion except Atreus

All the people fell into coma.

Even Atreus did not expect this change, but soon he saw a stone floating from his chest. It was the relic left by his brother Kratos, the one with an inscription on it.

Mountain peaks and strangely arced, token-like stones.

The stone order floats in the sky, constantly emitting bright starlight, seeming to mirror the Ares constellation in the night sky.

Then something even more bizarre happened. The Ares constellation, which could only be observed using an astronomical telescope, suddenly burst out with dazzling starlight. Two main stars and four secondary stars suppressed countless stars in the night sky.

Then something even more incredible followed. Driven by the starlight of the six stars, a pattern appeared. It was...a bird that seemed to be jumping up, using its huge

The horns of the ram butt vigorously!

"What...what happened?"

All the visions make Atreus unable to understand. What is this relic left by his brother Kratos on his chest? Why can it communicate with the God of War constellation? Why have everyone except me fallen into a coma?

?

But the next moment, Atreus couldn't think anymore, because when the starlight of the God of War constellation and the stone order on his chest dispersed, he fell to the ground instantly and fell into a coma.

The residents of Soto City also saw the strange phenomenon in the night sky. Some people fell into panic, some were amazed, and some thought nothing happened.

Only when Ennid looked at the vision in the night sky, he showed an inexplicable smile.
