A gorgeous, dreamlike light slowly bloomed from the dark and dark underground of the Principality of Song Song.
A new luminous object passed straight through the rock formation and floated in slowly, as if it encountered no obstacles.
The silver-gray bubbles were like a dream created by a match...even the treasure ship "Silver" in the middle of the bubbles seemed so illusory and weak.
After it gradually stopped on the flat ground.
The bubble suddenly burst.
The huge ship wrapped inside immediately appeared.
The sounds that were previously isolated and completely blocked immediately emerged:
"...That's it, we're here."
Selicia's cold voice sounded from the bow: "According to the rules, should you invite us in to sit down?"
"...Want to come here and sit down? Captain, are you sure?"
The one-eyed Ai Lei just chuckled: "If you are willing...it's not impossible."
A stream of light flashed past.
Pure, illusory steps composed of colorful rainbow lights appeared at the position where the bow of the ship connected to the earth. Standing at the front, besides Captain Selicia, was the passenger Ai Lei.
The other crew members also disembarked.
The treasure ship "Silver" is not an ordinary ship - it is a living, ship-shaped monster. Therefore, "Silver" does not need a sailor, a first mate, a carpenter or a navigator... It guides itself and sails automatically.
, self-healing, and will not encounter other enemies at all.
Therefore, all crew members are combatants. Because they can only serve as combatants...the only job is to carry food and water on the boat.
and provide entertainment to the captain.
But compared with the combat effectiveness of "Captain Shizhong", they actually do not play the necessary role of "protecting the captain's safety" - more accurately, they should be regarded as "friends" or "family members".
Of course, in Elle's opinion.
I'm afraid the more accurate word would be "pet".
Orpheus Denisoya, whose upper body was seen by Elle a few hours ago, was already dressed.
Elle learned that he was the sixth prince of Denisoya and the true heir to the royal family. After a trip, he fell in love with Selicia, who was petite and possessed a certain magical nature, and was willing to devote his loyalty to her.
Such a move will naturally devalue his status as the royal heir... just like the situation faced by Kaifni.
Loyalty to the monarch is one thing.
But no one would want to serve a puppet who seems to be controlled by others.
But for Ofishi, this didn't make him feel anything was wrong. When he served Selicia, he actually gave up on his own initiative and withdrew from the king's election.
Because he believed—and wanted to be sure at the same time—that Selicia did not fall in love with him because of his identity.
In order to consolidate the foundation of this love, he gave up everything he had devoted to it in the first half of his life. Parents, friends, career, destiny... When he left Danny Sawyer, he took nothing with him, only a golden harp.
.
It was a lyre made of gold and sandalwood, and it exuded a warm light.
The poet with amber pupils seemed to have forgotten all the embarrassment he had felt before.
He just smiled softly at Ailei, then played the piano and sang in a low voice as he had done since ancient times.
It's not a frivolous, upbeat, joyful love ballad.
Instead, it is a low, hoarse, and somewhat sad-sounding ancient piece of music.
Ai Lei was in a daze for a moment.
She recognized it... It was a piece of piano music commonly used in Denisoyan operas, and it was called "Leaves". The original prototype was written by Yawen himself, and it was usually used to express "fate" when the plot progressed.
The three-stringed qin sings solo, expressing a sense of vicissitudes of life.
And Orpheus reinterpreted it as a lyre version. This gave the music another epic feel...
This is certainly not an adaptation of Orpheus' poem.
——When Elle was very young, she wanted to go to Master Harold’s concert in Frozen Water Harbor.
These artists from Denisoa, naturally because of the reputation of the genius Amos, traveled all the way from Denisoa across the entire Kingdom of Noah, all the way to the northernmost frozen water port.
And the balalaika piece "Leaves" was adapted into a lyre piece, and the desolate yellow leaves that fell on the ground were miraculously transformed into leaves that were burning in the wind and flying in the wind... It was Master Harold's performance in the frozen water port.
It was what Ai Lei originally wanted to hear, but in the end never had the chance to hear it... the performance the year she died.
"This song is for you...little Airei."
After the song was played, Orpheus chuckled and put away the golden lyre.
"Don't give people such impassioned songs, Ophelia."
Sneering laughter sounded from behind him: "It's as if someone is going to die."
The one who was speaking was an aristocratic young man with gorgeous golden curly hair.
His skin was extremely white, even to the point of being pale. His pupils were like flowing lava, so bright that just looking at him would be dazzling, and he would have to look away.
That is a brilliant gaze that cannot be looked directly at.
He was wearing a red and white stand-up collared cloak. The pattern on the cloak looked like flowing fire or burning clouds, which looked extremely conspicuous.
It's obvious that Orpheus itself is from Denisoja's royal family, one of the most noble bloodlines in the world - but this young man looks like his bloodline is more noble than Orpheus.
"Your Excellency Arthur."
Ailei nodded politely to the blond young man.
Arthur Zhuoya showed a bright smile to her, put his right hand on his chest, bowed to Airei in an exaggerated manner, and said very politely: "Miss Airei, I won't go. If you encounter any tomb robbers,
Just rush back to the ship...
"No enemy can defeat us. Anyone who can be our enemy is not our enemy - the 'Silver Brigade' is invincible in this world."
Arthur smiled, showing a charming smile like a businessman introducing a product.
Ai Lei keenly captured... it was a sense of arrogance that was similar to Selicia's, but completely different.
If Selicia is completely self-centered, almost fanatic-like narcissism... then Arthur Burning Fang is completely gentle.
——Yes, gentle.
For a bad-tempered, power-hungry wizard of destruction, Arthur is a complete freak.
But it's not because he has a good temper.
On the contrary... it's because he has such a bad temper that he doesn't take any enemies to heart at all, so he doesn't feel nervous at all, and he's not angry at all.
He views himself like a saint - he tolerantly allows others' mistakes, failures, offenses, and attacks. This may be because from the beginning, he does not regard other people as people on the same level as himself.
However, these men are not important...
What really matters is——
Ai Lei looked at the ladies' cabin.
Two women came out from there.
One is a centaur with an exquisite figure and long black hair.
Her breasts are high and her exposed thighs are round. She looks no different from a beautiful girl - except that she has an extra pair of legs. She looks like a jumping deer.
The other one is an adult woman wearing a mask and having weird hair.
Her hair was lifeless, silver-gray as heavy as mercury, and near the end it was the same pink-purple color as on the ship. And her face was always covered with a mask, so her true face could not be seen clearly.
Perhaps the only person who has seen her face is Captain Selicia.
"Let's go...Lily, Lucia."
Selicia greeted: "Let Arthur look after the house, and we'll go for a walk."
Ai Lei looked at the woman wearing the mask.
She already knew this person's name. But she smelled a lie in it.
This is instinctive for Elle.
She noticed...
——The woman with the mask is not Lily Rasputin at all.
