"The everlasting nectar disappeared?"

In the teachings of the Fragrant Flower Temple, it is a "sacred substance". The two little girls exclaimed, and Fanning's eyes were instantly enlarged.

But in fact, his inner surprise was limited, and this expression was a cover-up.

The loud noise after Miss Nightingale's curtain call not only made him feel the support under his feet falling, but also seemed to have almost drained out some kind of remaining surplus.

As a true church, the Fragrant Flower Temple is not going to fall in the general direction, but this continent has been infected by the "Red Pool", and the Special Patrol Office has been secretly investigating. Fanning has always been very vigilant, and he dare not open his heart to any extraordinary organization.

"Is it 'all' disappeared?"

After all, it is also a very shocking anomaly, and Fanning asked with a normal attitude of doubt and concern.

Fields told the "Love Song King" of the South the truth: "The progress of the investigation of each branch temple is still being reported. The United Principality of Fedun is vast and sparsely populated, and not much time has passed. From a rigorous point of view, this conclusion cannot be made for the time being..."

"Maybe not 'all', a small amount of immortal nectar used for the 'Flower Ceremony' celebration in our headquarters and has entered the preparation process is still there, but apart from that, the entire city of Tia has really disappeared. The search of other city-states and archipelagos has not found any remains so far, and the last few 'gardens' in the headquarters that contributed to the main growth of immortal nectar seem to have dried up..."

Fanning is not clear about the extraordinary resource operation mechanism within their church, and has limited knowledge of the true meaning of immortal nectar in the South, but listening to the archbishop's story, at least one thing can be understood - not only has the existing immortal nectar almost disappeared, but its main mysterious growth channel seems to have "discontinued"?

The way this incident happened always felt a bit similar... After Fanning thought about it, he thought of another thing:

"Is it related to the "fasting order" issued by your church recently?"

Fields' answer confirmed Fanning's idea:

"The everlasting nectar is regarded as the primary representative of her gift. Its production is positively correlated with the abundance of southern products. It is not certain which is the cause and which is the result, but the fact is that both have been declining for nearly half a century, and the evaporation of everlasting nectar overnight is probably a worse omen..."

At this point, the archbishop's face was gloomy: "Mr. Scheller, this is why I personally sent the invitation to you. In addition to inviting you to serve as the main music priest of the "Flower Ceremony", there is also a private meeting invitation-"

"Our saint "Nianqi" hopes to meet you one day before the celebration begins. I will have a meeting with you. "Fanning's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he asked a word: "The Order-Executor?" "Yes." The Archbishop nodded, "Under the current situation of the activities of secret organizations in the southern continent, the church has invested a lot of efforts in this year's "Flower Ceremony", hoping to reawaken the "Fragrant Poet"'s greater attention and response. The Saint must think that you as the main priest will give us greater confidence. Moreover, he may have mastered the situation that we don't know..." "My purpose is probably like this. The "auspicious time" calculated this year will fall on September 5. If you are willing, you can visit our temple headquarters at any time. As long as you are close to the corresponding fox lily field area and light this invitation, there will be clergy to receive you. "After saying this, Fields bowed very carefully. "It's worth considering." Fanning's attitude did not mean to refuse people, but he did not say it firmly. After the archbishop disappeared from the passage behind the stage, Luna carefully took out the fox lily bouquet from her sleeve.

"Teacher, this is the ordinary bouquet you received when you watched the performance before. We suddenly found it a little strange in the middle of the night, and then we found that it became like this..."

At this moment, Fan Ning was also shocked by its peculiar shape and light.

It didn't feel when I looked at it, but as soon as I touched it, my spiritual sense told Fan Ning that the invisible power of the "pond" contained in this strange object was extremely condensed and huge!

"Don't feel anything else strange? Give it to me for safekeeping."

If it is related to the Fragrant Flower Temple, it would be fine, but the witness lord worshipped by the other two secret organizations in the southern continent also involves the "pond", and Fan Ning dare not let these two students carry it with them for another second.

"Except for feeling a little sweet saliva in my mouth when holding it, there seems to be nothing else." Miss Nightingale said.

Luna on the side also nodded and handed it over.

"Ann, go to the staff lounge to collect your things and go out first."

Fanning thought about it and briefly sent the two away.

"Okay."

The two girls walked to the passage behind the stage.

"Joan."

"Do you know what this is?"

Fanning called softly on the spot.

"Joan, are you there?"

He stared at the sheet music in front of him quietly. After about forty seconds, a paper-cut-like hole finally appeared on the blank page:

"I don't know."

"It's not even certain whether it is an extraordinary substance. I only know that the composition is very pure and single, and it seems that there is some potential mysterious power condensed in it."

Single component substance? But the material doesn't look like nectar... Fan Ning thought for a while and asked, "Didn't you see how it changed last night?"

It took several dozen seconds for any movement to appear:

"Why do you think I will look at you every day?"

Fan Ning was speechless for a moment. He took the bouquet and looked at it for a while, then carefully stretched out his index finger, ready to "pierce" a hint of inspiration into it.

This time, a sudden change occurred.

My own thread of inspiration hadn't penetrated at all. Just touching its surface, the bunch of fox lilies suddenly melted like ice cubes meeting magma.

"What!?"

Fan Ning hurriedly tried to get rid of it, but it was too late. In an instant, the bright red liquid poured down the tip of his index finger like a vacuum cleaner!

In a few seconds, the red light spread densely along the capillaries on the palm, and finally formed a pink emblem like a "simple drawing" of a fox lily on the inside of the left forearm!

Throughout the whole process, there was no strange feeling in his body or spirit. This emblem seemed to be born in his skin. He could not touch the special place or rub it away.

He raised his hand and stared at the emblem with his eyes wide open.

"Teacher, we've finished cleaning up." At this time, Miss Nightingale's voice came.

"Teacher?" Seeing that he was still standing at the front of the stage, Luna called again after taking a few steps closer.

Fan Ning had no choice but to straighten his sleeves first, then turned around and picked up the guitar lying on the ground.

"Let's go."

The sun is shining brightly on the street, and pedestrians are flowing back and forth.

The aroma of roasted flowers is still strong, Luna is still holding her little black umbrella, and the road is still as white as a flashlight.

She was not mentally exhausted, but Fan Ning somehow felt that the sense of detachment she felt after "midsummer has arrived" has intensified.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, he felt that it was a bit similar to the feeling of walking on the campus streets in the summer morning after staying up all night on the Internet in his previous life.

"Are you guys sleeping well?" Fan Ning asked after wandering aimlessly on the street for a while.

"Well, I feel a little groggy. I can't keep my eyes open even under the sun, but I can't fall asleep for a while. I want to catch up on my sleep at noon." Miss Nightingale yawned.

Half an hour later, the three of them found Walter in the event-specific hotel arranged by the church. After parading at night, he took a nap for several hours, and he still seemed energetic.

Several people had a simple breakfast together in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel restaurant and had some exchanges about last night's situation, but Fan Ning did not ask Walter about anything unusual.

While the waiter was clearing away the dishes, he lowered his head and started writing on a piece of paper.

"Today you can leave for the Northern Continent to seek a higher director position. Now that you are the Troubadour Laureate, it is meaningless to be the permanent conductor of an orchestra ranked outside the thirties. The old symphony orchestra is somewhere between the first line and the top. There is not a lot of room for a great young conductor like you to perform in this group.”

After Fan Ning finished speaking, he packed the letter and handed it over.

"Is this a letter of recommendation?" Walter took it in surprise, "Teacher, you really do have quite deep connections."

If it weren't for the pursuit of better development and a better resume, he, a native of San Porto, would not have crossed the ocean four years ago and taken his family to an orchestra in the South to serve as a permanent conductor.

It seems that although the teacher feels that the ranking of this old symphony orchestra is a bit "high or low", he thinks it is still very suitable for his current career stage.

Generally speaking, as a conductor these days, you can only choose between increasing the position or increasing the ranking. Not only did I go from permanent to director, but the orchestra also went from more than 30 to 11, it was definitely a huge step.

"After you become famous, there are always a lot of people in the industry coming to make friends with you." Fan Ning smiled lightly.

"Can I see what recommendations you wrote for me in advance?" Walter was full of curiosity.

"I want to read it too." Luna looked at the back of the paper eagerly.

"Okay." Fan Ning picked up a green coconut and leaned back in his seat.

Walter immediately pulled out the letter from the envelope and was dumbfounded.

"He wanted to be the musical director."

Even if it doesn’t have Scheler’s signature, why is the name “Bruno Walter” not even mentioned?

who I am? Where am I?

"Teacher," the conductor choked, "I think recommendation letters are usually written well and can be a little more detailed?"

"What details?" Fan Ning held a straw in his mouth.

Walter cautiously made the suggestion:

"For example, generally speaking, should the name of the person being recommended be included first? Also?"

"Oh, it's okay, that's not the point." Fan Ning waved his hands indifferently.

Walter continued to be dumbfounded.

So what's the difference between taking this letter of recommendation to the Old Symphony Orchestra and getting an empty piece of paper?

"You will leave today." Fan Ning calmed down his usual indifferent expression, and his tone became a little more serious, "Then, take the two junior sisters with you."

"Take them with you? Today?"

"Ah, teacher, shall we go to the Northern Continent?"

All three people were stunned.

Such a big arrangement, so sudden, and starting today?

What a hasty and unexpected decision.

The relaxed atmosphere of the chat suddenly changed.

"The latest departure time for tickets at Tia Port is seven o'clock in the evening. There is still a whole day to prepare, which should be enough." Fan Ning looked at the wall clock on the wall of the restaurant, and then looked at Luna and An The shocked eyes intertwined——

"Walter should be fine, are there any problems with Luna and An?"

"I" and "we" the two little girls said in protracted tones.

In fact, the fact that they became Scheler's students has long been a great honor for a non-aristocratic merchant family. The head of the family, Chretien, once expressed his gratitude to Scheler and asked them to obey the teacher's arrangements. The eldest son of the family Brother Troya's admiration has nowhere to rest, but

"How long will it take?" Miss Nightingale bit her lip.

"Maybe, in less than half a year?" Fan Ning pondered for a while and then said, "You have already obtained the honors of poet laureate and famous singer, so now you can understand it as a new 'study tour' or 'further study' task."

Walter nodded seriously.

He had been in the South Country for so long and had long wanted to seek a higher position. Although the recommendation letter was a little too confusing to understand, the teacher was right. Working in the Old Symphony Orchestra was the promotion direction he had hoped for.

"Teacher, what about you? Aren't you going to go?" Miss Nightingale asked again.

"I have things to do." Fan Ning said, "I will travel to the Northern Continent later, maybe soon, maybe a little longer. You just go with Walter first. His position is very valuable, with a bigger platform and more opportunities. many."

There is nothing false about his words. Arranging Walter to go to the Northern Continent has been considered for a long time. The old symphony orchestra currently has both music director and permanent conductor vacancies, although Sheeran is behind it to "host the house." Industry", but the leader in art cannot be vacant for a long time.

Especially now that he is facing the task of expanding his territory, Fan Ning plans to keep a low profile "in name" and make major personnel arrangements as needed. Anyway, it is daily news in the art world for conductors to move positions among various orchestras. Conductor Walter likes to rehearse Fan Ning's repertoire. The Special Inspection Office has long known this, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the position he wants.

But the decision about Luna and Ann was Fanning's decision just now.

Everything here is getting weirder and weirder. I urgently need to complete the final sixth movement, use the performance at the 'Flower Ceremony' to be promoted to the Insight, find out the clues behind Vienne, and solve the mystery of "Miss Scarlet Girl" question.

You also need to consider whether you should accept the invitation to interview the saint "伊佊" who has the ability to enforce the order in Fanghui Temple.

In short, all this does not require the company or participation of two students.

Fan Ning originally planned to have two people perform the female solo and children's chorus roles in the fourth and fifth movements respectively, but they can be replaced.

It would be better to let them follow Walter directly and leave the Southern Continent.

The sooner the better.

Fan Ning, who was sitting on the chair, crossed his arms across his chest, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a somewhat depressed tone:

"You go back to the Wilderness Villa to inform your relatives and friends and pack your luggage. I will see you off at the port before sailing in the evening."
