The information fed back from [The Original Sin of Greed] has proven that Ronald and the others are looking in the right direction.
But Ronald's frown did not relax.
Because the key to the problem before them is how to find and enter the Holy City, knowing the information itself provides very limited help.
Or to be more serious.
The information given by [The Original Sin of Greed] cannot advance the actual situation.
"Singing in the forest, singing in the forest..."
Ronald murmured the news he had just received.
There are birds perching on the giant tree in front of you. These cute little guys have bright green and dark blue feathers. With a little moonlight, they look beautiful and dazzling, like the gems on a ribbon.
They were awakened by the two men in the night, but they didn't seem afraid. At this moment, some of them were quietly watching Costa in the sky, while others were combing their feathers with their beaks while focusing on Ronald below.
The bird's attention caught Ronald's eye, and he couldn't help but talk to these little guys:
"You have lived here for generations, you must know something, if..."
"Ha ha--"
As soon as the words came out, Ronald himself felt ridiculous. He couldn't help but shake his head and thought to himself - it's a pity that with his language skills, he couldn't translate the songs of the birds. After all, he had to find a way on his own.
The birds showed no human sorrow and just watched quietly in the surrounding trees, even pushing each other to occupy the perfect viewing branches.
Ronald began to think of ways to solve the dilemma.
But before he could take any action, a new wave of magic power appeared on Costart's body in the air. The maid's spell did not cause any unnecessary scenes, and the magic power was withdrawn into the body during the flow of light.
After a few seconds, the traces of the spell completely disappeared in the air.
Costat landed lightly on the ground, looking slightly tired, but immediately looked at Ronald in front of him:
"Sir, I tried to take the information carried on the trees. These huge trees have mysterious anomalies, but the hidden forms are very special. I can't uncover their details."
Without the spell [Original Sin of Greed], Costant was able to obtain this level of information, which is absolutely amazing.
Ronald naturally had no objections. He encouraged the maid a few words and immediately shared the information he had:
"Costat, this place is called Songzhonglin."
"According to the news from the spell feedback, it should be a place based on the original music ability. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
"Singing Forest?" Costat immediately fell into deep thought.
In his hundreds of years of life, Costart has also encountered a certain number of original music texts, but the word "lin" in the song...
Unfortunately, she didn't have anything to gain from this in her mind.
Kostat frowned.
Although the mode of thinking was fundamentally different from before, the maid rummaged through her memories and ultimately returned nothing.
——I can’t satisfy my master’s needs myself.
Confirming this reality, Costart's expression naturally began to darken.
Ronald on the side saw the maid's reaction and immediately understood what was happening in her mind. He was worried that Costat's psychological pressure of "dereliction of duty" would put pressure on the new personality, so he quickly comforted:
"Costat, the last thing to do is to rush at this time."
"The goal is right in front of us. Being too impatient will more likely waste time. Think calmly, analyze intelligence, and sort out past information. This is what you should do on the right path."
"I understand, sir." Costart obeyed Ronald's words.
"Zhazha——"
The chirping of birds suddenly sounded.
Among the birds watching Ronald and Ronald on the tree, an inconspicuous brown female bird slipped down. As it fell, it tried to fly up, and then flew high, circling the trees and calling to other companions, as if
Tell something.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Ronald was suddenly stunned.
The movements and sounds of the birds seemed to help him knock on a hidden door, making him realize a secret in the song-like chirping.
A secret he should have realized sooner.
His murmur of birds a few minutes ago might have been a prophecy.
So Ronald looked at Costart with joy and expectation:
"Costat, do you still remember that Alian's song just now?"
The maid said without thinking:
"Sir, of course."
Ronald immediately ordered:
"Then sing, sing according to Alian's voice, maybe this is the key for us to move forward!"
Ronald actually remembered the lyrics of that ballad.
It's just that he feels that he is a layman with an average musical talent, so he trusts Kostat's ability in this area more.
Of course, the maid will not refuse the master's order.
She recalled it for a moment, and Alian's lyrics immediately came to mind perfectly, including the strength of every breath the other person took when singing.
Then Costart began to sing:
"At night when the sun sets,
The ancient wise elders imprisoned the dark city on the earth.
The cold mist swallows life,
The long river flows and consumes wisdom,
If it asks for your name, remember not to answer.
…”
Under the moonlight, singing.
The earth remains motionless, while the towering tree-shades shift their green.
Along with the lifelike singing voice imitated by Costart, Lin showed his true appearance to the two guests during the song.
The green color spreads and rotates like ripples, wandering in the forest, like light and shadow. The intertwined fragments reflect each other and quickly form thousands of circles.
Eventually the image took over and lingered around Ronald and Costart.
Through the changing light and shadow, Ronald seemed to be able to hear the cheerful chirping of birds, which made him feel grateful.
Ronald knew he had guessed correctly.
The key to entering the Song Forest is, of course, songs.
People who once knew the secret chose to use the song that formed the seal to warn future generations not to touch this place that sealed the ancient horror.
If someone with bad intentions comes here.
Without knowing the details of the song, how could one use this kind of warning spread as a key to entering it?
In the joy, the ever-changing light and shadow began to dissipate. When the climax of the singing melody lowered, Ronald could vaguely make out the woods in front of him through the scene in front of him.
Along with the beginning and end of the song, this wonderful process also has its end.
A few breaths passed.
When the green finally faded away, the environment around them stabilized, and they could see the scenery of the woods again.
Kostat's voice turned to questioning and sounded in Ronald's ears:
"Sir, are we... coming in?"
"That's right!" Ronald nodded slightly, his tone full of joy and encouragement to the maid, "Costat, you did it perfectly, we got in successfully!"
[As a result of real-life problems, I was very busy in the first half of this month and barely had time to type. I apologize for not being able to update stably.
Then... everyone works hard to live together and encourage each other.】
