Chapter 217 Silver Brigade, All Villains
A splendid, dream-like light slowly burst out from the dark and dark underground of the Principality of Death Song.
A new luminous body went straight through the rock formation and floated in slowly. As if there were no obstacles.
The silver-gray bubbles were like a fantasy created by matches... Even the treasure ship "Silver" in the middle of the bubbles seemed so illusory and powerless.
After it gradually came to a standstill on the ground.
The bubble burst suddenly.
The huge ship wrapped inside immediately appeared.
And the sound that was previously isolated and completely blocked, also immediately emerged:
"...That's it, here we are."
Celicia's cold voice sounded from the bow: "According to the rules, should you invite us in and sit?"
"...Come here to sit? Captain, are you sure?"
The one-eyed Ailei just chuckled: "If you guys are willing...it's not impossible."
A stream of light flashed.
A pure, illusory staircase composed of colorful rainbow lights appeared at the position where the bow connected to the earth. The one standing at the front, aside from Captain Celicia, was the passenger Ellie.
The other crew members also disembarked.
The treasure ship "Silver" is no ordinary ship - it is a living, ship-shaped monster. So Silver doesn't need a sailor, a first mate, a carpenter, or a navigator...it's self-guided, self-navigating, self-repairing, and doesn't encounter other enemies at all.
Therefore, all crew members are combatants. Because they can only be combatants...the only job is to carry food and water boats.
As well as providing fun for the captain.
But compared with the combat effectiveness of "Captain in the Stone", they actually don't play much of the necessary role in "protecting the captain's safety" - a more accurate positioning should be regarded as "friends" or "family members".
Of course, in Elle's view.
I'm afraid a more accurate word should be "pet".
The Orpheus Denisoya, whose upper body had been seen by Ellie a few hours ago, was already dressed.
Alley learns that he is the sixth prince of Denisoya, the true heir to the royal family - after a trip, he falls in love with the petite and somewhat magical Celicia, and is willing to devote his loyalty to her.
Such a move would devalue his status as a royal heir... just like the situation facing Kaphne.
Loyalty to a monarch is one thing.
But no one is willing to serve a puppet who is suspected of being controlled by others.
But for Orpheus, this didn't make him feel that something was wrong. When he served Celicia, he had actually given up and quit the king's election.
Because he believed - and wanted to be sure, that Celicia didn't fall in love with herself because of who she was.
In order to consolidate the foundation of this love, he gave up everything he had paid for in the first half of his life. Parents, friends, career, fate... When he left Denisoya, he brought nothing but a golden harp.
It was a lyre made of gold and sandalwood, and it exuded a warm light.
And this poet with amber pupils,
As if forgetting all the embarrassment before.
He just smiled at Ellie, and he played the piano and sang in a low voice since ancient times.
It wasn't a frivolous, jumpy, delightful love ballad.
Instead, it is a low and somewhat hoarse, ancient music that sounds a little sad.
Ellie was a little dazed for a while.
She could hear it... It was a qin piece often used in Denisoan opera, and its name was "Leaves." The original prototype was written by Ya Weng himself. Usually, when the plot progresses to express "destiny", he sings solo with a three-stringed piano, expressing a sense of vicissitudes.
Orpheus reinterpreted it as a lyre version. This gives the piece another epic feel...
This is of course not an adaptation of the poem of Orpheus.
——When Ellie was very young, she wanted to go to the concert given by Master Harold in Frozen Water Harbor.
These artists from Denisoya, naturally because of the reputation of the genius Amos, traveled thousands of miles from Denisoya across the entire Noah Kingdom, all the way to the northernmost frozen water port.
And the sanxian piece "Leaves" was adapted into a lyre piece, and the withered and yellow leaves that fell on the desolate ground miraculously turned into leaves that were on fire and fluttering in the wind... It was Master Harold's performance in Frozen Water Harbor.
It was what Elle wanted to hear, but she never had the chance to hear... the performance of the year she died.
"This song is for you...Little Elei."
After the song was played, Orpheus chuckled and put away the golden lyre.
"Don't give people such an impassioned song, Ophes."
Laughter sounded from behind him: "It's as if people are going to die."
The one who was speaking was a noble young man with gorgeous golden curly hair.
His skin was unusually white, even pale. His pupils are like flowing lava, so bright that just staring at him would be dazzling, so he had to look away.
It was a brilliant gaze that could not be looked directly at.
He was wearing a red and white stand-collar cloak. The pattern on the cloak looked like a flowing fire or a burning cloud, which looked very conspicuous.
It is obvious that Ophes itself is the royal family of Denisoya, one of the most noble bloodlines in the world - but the young man seems to feel that his own blood is more noble than Ophes.
"Master Arthur."
Alley nodded politely to the blond youth.
Arthur Burning Fang showed her a bright smile, put his right hand on his chest, bowed to Alley with some exaggeration, and said very politely: "Miss Alley, I will not go. If you encounter any tomb robbers, Just rush back to the boat...
"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 the charming smile of a businessman introducing a product.
Elle keenly captured... that was a sense of arrogance similar to Celicia, but completely different.
If Celicia is utterly self-centered, almost madman-like narcissism... then Arthur Burningfang is utterly moderate.
—Yes, pacify.
Arthur is a complete freak for a violent, power-hungry wizard of destruction.
But it's not because he has a good temper.
On the contrary...it was because he had a bad temper. So much so that he didn't take any enemies to heart at all, so he didn't feel nervous or angry at all.
He sees himself like a saint—he tolerates mistakes, failures, offenses, attacks from others. This may be because from the very beginning, he did not regard other people as people of the same level as himself.
However, these men are not important...
What really matters is-
Alley turned her gaze to the lady's cabin.
Two women came out from there.
One is a...a centaur with a slender figure and long black hair.
Her breasts were high, and her bare thighs were round. She doesn't seem to be any different from the pretty girl - except that she has extra legs. It looks like a bouncing deer.
The other was a masked adult woman with odd hair.
Her hair was a lifeless, silver-gray as heavy as mercury, and near the end it was the exact same pink-purple as the ship. And she always wears a mask on her face, so she can't see her true face.
Perhaps the only person who has seen her face is Captain Celicia.
"Let's go...Lily, Lucia."
Celicia greeted: "Let Arthur watch the house, let's go down for a walk."
Alley looked at the woman with the mask.
She already knew the man's name. But she smelled a lie.
It was instinctive for Ellie.
She noticed...
——The woman with the mask is not Lily Rasputin at all.
