The Whispering Verses Chapter 1219: The generous god
Chapter 1219 The Generous God
As the middle-aged witch Bretchett performed spellcasting movements that Shade could not understand, the branches of the newly grown slender sapling continued to grow. Not only did the branches grow longer, but the emerald green leaves that grew out also fell off and turned into little green people, which soon filled the branches of the small tree.
They sat close to each other on the upper and lower branches, each holding a different musical instrument in their hands.
While the witch bowed to the gods and then stood up to sing, the "miniature" orchestra on the small tree also began to play.
It seems that singing is a necessary skill for witches. As soon as Ms. Bretchet opened her mouth, Shade knew that Mr. Lyman and Sister Perry had no chance of winning.
Shadow had never heard of the ballad chosen by the witch. It looked like a country tune, but it was also not simply about praising butterflies or the gods in front of him. It was a narrative ballad about the witch riding a unicorn traveling around. It’s a story about meeting a beloved lover, then breaking up and getting back together, and after going through a series of adventures and trials, they finally came together.
The song is almost as long as Sister Perry’s hymn, but thankfully there’s still plenty of time left. With the accompaniment of the orchestra, the witch's already touching singing voice was brought to a higher level.
So when she finished singing and bowed, Mr. Lyman and Sister Perry both showed disappointed expressions. They also knew the gap between themselves and the witch.
So, it was Shade's turn at last, and he also stood up instead of sitting down.
Step back a few steps so that the stool does not impede your movement. Finally, he snapped his fingers, and with the use of the incomplete mystery lock [Little Match Girl], a huge silver moon disk appeared above Shade's head. At the same time, dots of stars filled the sky, and The flying butterflies complement each other.
Activating the thaumaturgy [Sound of Music], recalling Miss Bernice under the only light on the stage less than two hours ago, Shade began to sing:
"It sprouted from the New Year."
On the way home just now, although Shade also tried to hum a few words while using thaumaturgy, but now he really started to sing formally, and he was surprised by the sound of his own voice.
Miss Benenice’s female voice has completely different timbres from Shade’s male voice, and the enchantment with which the witch sings cannot be imitated by outsiders who don’t understand art at all. But even so, with the help of thaumaturgy, Shade still imitated the witch's singing voice almost perfectly and sang his own butterfly song.
Although this caused Shade to sing with too many expressions and skills that only women can sing, this did not prevent him from being almost intoxicated by the sound. He himself has no emotions, and only has skills that are nearly one-to-one replicas. This fully explains why thaumaturgy [Sound of Music] can be used to record natural sounds. At this time, thaumaturgy was used to present a song to God that would only be available in the next century, so it was not a waste of its own power.
The butterflies are not just flying in the air this time, they are flying around Shade. In the song, under the small starry sky, they form a tide of butterflies as if controlled by Shade. The music surges.
Sister Perry, Mr. Lyman and Miss Bretchett looked at this scene in surprise. When Shade finished singing and the silver moon and starry sky disappeared, they didn't even react immediately.
Those flying butterflies surrounded Shade and refused to let him sit down again. Even if Shade waved them away, they would come back soon. It wasn't until the **** at the table smiled and spoke that the butterflies asked Shade to sit down again. But soon they landed on his shoulders again, which made Shade glad he hadn't brought the cat with him.
"There is no emotion involved, but if we only look at skills, I am afraid there will be no mortals in this era who can sing this song."
God said with a smile, and then continued to comment:
"A very good song, but unfortunately, this is not your song. I would really like to meet the mortal woman who sang this song."
But unfortunately, the God of Butterflies left in the fifth era. Even if he made this exclamation at this time, Shade thought it was not a hint. It would be impossible to hear Miss Benenice's song in the sixth era, unless the witch could be brought by Shade next time.
The **** heard that this was not Sha De’s song, and Sha De was not surprised. He nodded slightly to express his agreement with the god:
"I understand this is not my song, so I don't think I am the best one among us."
He twisted up a petal and handed it to the witch Ms. Brecht:
"I will give the first petal to this lady. I like your singing very much."
The middle-aged witch took it with some surprise. Seeing Shade's action, they all picked up the petals at hand. No one had the courage to play tricks in front of the gods, so everyone chose the one who they thought had the best singing voice, that is, Shade.
Thus, three pink and white petals entered Xia De's hands. At the first event of the Butterfly God's banquet, Xia De took the lead.
"Since I'm sitting at the table, obviously I can also judge the best singer."
The **** said with a smile, and two pink and white petals floated on his hand, which obviously meant that he could vote twice, but no one objected.
The butterflies surrounded the two petals and floated towards the same person, Mr. Lyman, the only man besides Shade.
The people at the table did not ask for the reason. The standards for judging songs by gods are obviously different from those of mortals. Besides, the songs of the four people just now can be called excellent. Maybe this **** was just moved by Mr. Lyman's "determination".
Therefore, among the six petals in the first round, Shade got three, the Witch got one, and Mr. Lyman got two. Sister Perry, who Shade thought was the most likely winner, got all the petals. Not gained.
"So, God of Butterflies, are you satisfied with the song we presented?"
Xia De asked on behalf of the four people, and the **** nodded slightly:
"Those are very beautiful songs, Butterfly and I like them both."
The mortals breathed a sigh of relief, while the gods smiled and continued:
"Enjoy the banquet before announcing what you are going to do next, everyone deserves to be rewarded."
This **** seems to be more generous than the gods Shade has encountered before.
"Give you health."
The golden wine glass in front of Mr. Lyman contained a sparkling potion. After thanking him excitedly, he drank the potion in one gulp.
"Give you clear eyesight."
Some glimmer of light flew into Sister Perry's eyes. She whispered thanks, then bowed her head and prayed.
Shad didn't feel too many miraculous elements. It seemed that what the gods had given him was just a simple blessing such as "dark vision" or "expanded vision."
"Give you beauty."
A grape that was originally stacked on the silver plate suddenly rolled out and rolled in front of the middle-aged witch. It turned into a huge purple gem, which was a true magical item.
The witch held back a smile, twisted it up, and thanked the gods in a low voice.
So it was Shade's turn at last, and he looked up at the Butterfly God expectantly. Even with his perception, he couldn't determine what the god's current true form was. The old **** [Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly] is extremely good at the power of illusions. Unless Shade burns his divinity, all he can see is deeper illusions.
"I know what you want."
God smiled and said to Shade:
"I also know many of the answers you are seeking."
? shook the finger wearing the ring:
"But you didn't satisfy me, so I can't tell you. I give you three options, and you can choose one of them as a blessing."
? He was smiling and seemed to find this very interesting:
"One, my butterflies like you very much. I can make one of them merge with you and give you more power about butterflies."
This is almost equivalent to giving the miracle-"butterfly" spiritual rune to Shade. Shade even believes that the "incarnation of a red butterfly" spell can become more powerful.
"Two, you are stained with a slight curse of the earth. Although this will not affect you, it does let me know what you are facing. I can give you some hints. Little hints."
This is also a very tempting option. Even if he knows that what the gods say must be obscure "riddles", it is still very useful to Shade.
"Finally, I can give you an interesting gift, but you can't take that gift away, you have to find it yourself."
The **** looked at Sha De's face, and Sha De also understood that he wanted him to go to the Sixth Epoch to find gifts.
These three choices are actually very good, and Xia De also saw that the gods in front of him valued the fun more than giving him gifts. Dorothy said that this **** is not a good or evil **** in the strict sense, but just a little "unloving". But in Shade's contact, he felt that this **** was really good.
Of course, if he could make his own decision, Shade would rather let the gods realize his wish of "allowing the three of them to leave safely after the banquet." This seems to have no profit, but for him it is a choice full of greater future possibilities. Unfortunately, he can only choose one of three.
First of all, exclude the first item. Although spiritual runes are extremely valuable, there is still a probability of obtaining the "butterfly" spiritual runes with further contact with Helen and Grace sisters in the future.
Then he eliminated the third item after just a moment's hesitation. It wasn't that Shade looked down upon God's gift across time, but that he was really busy recently and had no time to add another task to himself:
"God, I want to know the knowledge about the Mad Land."
He said respectfully, looking forward to what kind of "riddle" he would hear. But I didn’t expect that the **** who appeared in the form of a beautiful woman smiled and nodded:
"No problem, you want a gift from me, that's smart."
"Yeah"
Xia De was sure that this was definitely not what he had chosen just now.
