Chapter 326 Bard
Chapter 326 Bard
There was still a month to go before the Duke's birthday party, and Isabella and Shen Lismona discussed their recent plans in the dead of night.
Isabella: "The channels through which we obtain information are too narrow. We have no place to start investigating the impact of extraterritorial monsters on this world."
Shen Lismona didn't understand how Isabella was investigating. If it was based on the actions of the people in this world, or if there was some secret organization, then that would be easy to investigate. It could also be that Rocky Town was really remote...
"I know more about monsters from outside the domain than humans do. You asked me for any investigation suggestions, but I don't know how to answer." Shen Lismona said at the end, just shaking her head helplessly.
The story of Isabella and her friend soon spread throughout Rocky Town.
The fact that he had killed an elite monster and even obtained its materials to make a shield was enough to make many magicians admire him.
There is a small guild in Rocky Town, with only seven people, all of whom are at the level of junior second-level magic sorcerers. The captain's strength is only that of an intermediate magic warrior. He does not have a deep understanding of magic, and has only reached this level by relying on his talent. He has never been to any magic academy to study.
Shen Lismona and Isabella found out a lot of things in Rocky Town, especially all the news and history about the Bolie Continent.
It is said that thousands of years ago, there was indeed a serious crisis of world destruction on the mainland. The locals believe that it is just an ancient legend. After all, there is no way to verify it, and it is just passed down from generation to generation.
In the lord's mansion, the two of them chatted around the fire with Miller Foucault.
"More than a thousand years ago, there was a world-destroying disaster on this continent? We have been practicing in the snow-capped mountains since we were young, and this is the first time we have heard of this story." Isabella opened the topic and waited for Lord Miller Foucault to jump in himself.
Miller Foucault said in a serious tone, his eyes seemed to be full of fire: "You have never heard of this story! It's so strange, no, you should have heard of it, but you just forgot it?
"Because every child on the continent has heard since childhood about the catastrophe that destroyed the world a thousand years ago and the heroic deeds of ten generations."
"To put it simply, our continent was not what it is today more than a thousand years ago. At that time, the world was in eternal night, the earth was lifeless, the land and the sea were all flames and black demons, and countless strange monsters replaced us."
"More than a thousand years ago, there were many humanoid races, but they all died in battle. Dwarves, orcs, and elves only exist in ancient legends. If it weren't for the remains, I wouldn't even believe they had ever appeared in this world."
"In the dark world, there was a group of more powerful predecessors who led us humans and persisted for decades, driving away these endless demons. In the end, a sage who was born in the flames of war brought protection to our continent, and it was no longer invaded by any demons."
Shen Lismona nodded and pondered for a long time. She seemed to remember that the Sky Order had a history about the era when the 400th line of defense gradually fell.
Shen Lismona asked: "What is the name of that sage..."
Lord Miller Foucault: "In the long river of history, only he is called the Sage. As for what name he is called, each major religious country has its own title for him. We, the Heavenly Sage Religious Country, call him the Sage of All Lords."
"and after……"
Isabella asked with great interest, eating her fruit and leaning forward to listen.
Lord Miller Foucault: "At that time, the post-war world needed to be rebuilt, and there were even more powerful demons roaming the earth. The ancient sages and the strongest human pioneers at the time kept traveling around the world to eliminate those powerful demons roaming around the world. This process lasted for more than two hundred years, and a total of ten famous heroes were born and disappeared..."
"...It is difficult for the descendants of heroes to survive to this day, but there is one descendant of the sage, who is today's bard. His name is Li Gemanshi."
Isabella pouted and said, "This name... is a bit poetic."
For some reason, Lord Miller Foucault suddenly became confident and said, "Mr. Li Gemanshi is from our Celestial Sage Church. You may not know that his fame has spread to every corner of the continent. Although he is young, only in his thirties, every one of his works is a classic."
As he spoke, Miller Foucault suddenly stood up and walked into the room: "I also have a collection of his poems. He only wrote ten poems every year..."
Two minutes later, Miller Foucault took out a thick black notebook with a book cover and opened the first page. In huge fonts, a poem titled "Autumn Elegance When It Arrives" was neatly written.
After reading it, Isabella felt that the poem gave people a sense of worry. It was a poem about the beautiful but only happy scenery, but it was also a poem about sadness. It was a good poem, but...
Shen Lismona does not simply think that writing is good: "Every word can make me feel like I am there..."
Isabella took a deep breath and calmed herself down. This world, or perhaps the entire universe after rebirth, could be considered a cultural desert...
"The sky is clear and the wind is echoing... The wind is silent, the wheat ears are humming. Autumn seems to be free, not knowing that reincarnation has passed for thousands of years." Shen Lismona recited silently, word by word.
Isabella silently thought in her heart: This bard seems to have some regrets about this land...
As time went by, Isabella and Shen Lismona were completely on vacation in this world. It was rare to find a comfortable place, so they at least played for a while before conducting a deeper investigation.
The level of peace in this world far exceeds that of any other world. Even wars between humans are extremely rare, and are nothing more than fights for some territories and arable areas.
The mining areas of magic resources are strictly controlled by the major religious countries, and any conflicts that arise are mostly open and secret struggles between high-level magicians.
In the Celestial Sage Kingdom where Isabella is located, the armies of the major lords are used to counter the invasion of monsters. It has been many years since they have launched a war against humans. Even in the generation of Miller Foucault's grandfather's grandfather, it had never happened.
Moreover, there is no slave trade in this world. There are iron rules. Everyone’s working hours cannot exceed nine hours a day and they can only work four days a week. Overtime is strictly prohibited, and no wages or benefits can be delayed. It is said that anyone who dares to order overtime or deduct wages will be killed by a mysterious killer.
After the above investigation, Isabella was only a little surprised at the mysterious killer, but the rules of this world... compared to the world she lived in before, it was simply a utopia.
At the Duke's birthday party.
Isabella and Shen Lismona attended and sat in the window corner seats.
This man, named Duke Euryale, is seventy years old.
The Duke's Palace is extremely magnificent and large, with a banquet hall on the first floor that can accommodate up to eight thousand people and hundreds of dining tables.
Much more arrogant than the Charlemagne royal family of Averato.
It was not until the end of the banquet that the bard named Li Gemanshi finally appeared.
Isabella sensed that this guy was just an ordinary person without any magic power. He walked into the banquet hall from the main entrance and walked alone on the red carpet.
He looked very much like an exquisite woman, with long silver hair that was tied up in a pile, and half of his hair was left loose.
The diamond earrings were as crystal clear as his cold eyes, and he was wearing a white uniform.
He walked towards the Duke on the stage alone, his invisible aura towering over everyone else...
There were many high-level magicians in the banquet hall, including two national-level magicians. He did not even glance at them. His eyes were dull and empty...
When he appeared, everyone watched his unique steps in silence...
Li Gemanshi came to the stage and began to play his new work entitled: Winter Funeral.
Winter's Sorrow
The flying birds imprison my wandering dreams.
Spring is quietly comforting, but the awakening earth is still shedding last winter's tears.
We are restrained and sleep and breathe in the soft clouds.
The forest writes poetry on the leaves, and the golden sunlight silently plays the music of dawn for you.
I said, the Milky Way and the full moon are not the night, but the marks of disappeared memories.
You can't hear the whispers of the nightingale to me, only in the quiet dreams can I resonate with your heartbeat.
Our story continues in dreams, and the waking world is a nightmare. After that winter snow, I never saw you again.
The organ in the banquet hall emitted humming music, and everyone except Isabella was intoxicated by the world of his new work.
