Chapter 1179: Generous God

~10 min read 1,917 words

As the middle-aged witch Brichet performed spellcasting movements that Xia De couldn't understand, the branches of the slender sapling that had just grown continued to grow. Not only did the branches become longer, but the green leaves that grew also fell off and turned into small green people, and soon filled the branches of the small tree.

They sat one by one on the upper and lower branches, each holding different musical instruments in their hands.

While the witch saluted the god and then stood up to prepare to sing, the "miniature" orchestra on the small tree also began to play.

It seemed that singing was a necessary skill for witches. As soon as Ms. Brichet opened her mouth, Xia De knew that Mr. Lehman and Sister Perry had no possibility of winning.

The ballad the witch chose was one Xia De had never heard before. It was like a country tune, but it was also not just praising butterflies and the god in front of her.

It was a narrative ballad, telling the story of a witch riding a unicorn traveling everywhere, meeting her beloved lover, separating and reuniting, and after experiencing a series of adventures and tempering, finally walking together.

The length of this song was almost as long as Sister Perry's hymn, but fortunately, the remaining time was still enough. With the accompaniment of the orchestra, the witch's already moving singing voice was set off to a higher level.

So when she finished singing and bowed, Mr. Lehman and Sister Perry both showed disappointed expressions; they also knew the gap between themselves and the witch.

So, it was finally Xia De's turn. He also stood up instead of sitting.

He stepped back a few steps so that the round stool would not hinder his actions. Finally, he snapped his fingers. With the use of the incomplete Mythical Domain 【The Little Match Girl】, a huge silver moon disk appeared above Xia De's head. At the same time, stars filled the sky, reflecting with the butterfly swarm dancing.

Activating the strange art 【Sound of Music】, recalling Miss Bernice under the only light on the stage less than two hours ago, Xia De opened his mouth and began to sing:

"It sprouts in the new spring..."

On the way home just now, although Xia De also tried to hum a few sentences when using the strange art, at this moment, when he really started to sing officially, he was surprised by his own voice.

Miss Bernice's female voice had a completely different timbre from Xia De's male voice, and the intoxication when the witch sang was not something an Outsider who didn't understand art at all could imitate. But even so, with the assistance of the strange art, Xia De almost perfectly imitated the witch's singing voice and sang his own butterfly song.

Although this led to Xia De showing too many expressions and techniques that only female singers had when he sang, this did not prevent him from being almost intoxicated by the voice himself. He had no feelings himself, only techniques copied almost one-to-one, which also fully explained why the strange art 【Sound of Music】 could be used to record the sounds of nature. And at this time, the strange art was used to offer a song from the next era to the god, which was not a waste of its own power.

The butterflies were not just dancing in the air this time. They flew around Xia De, and in the singing, under that small starry sky, they formed a tide of butterflies as if manipulated by Xia De, surging with the music.

Sister Perry, Mr. Lehman, and Ms. Brichet looked at this scene in surprise. After Xia De finished singing and the silver moon and starry sky disappeared, they couldn't even react immediately.

Those dancing butterflies surrounded Xia De and refused to let him sit down again. Even if they were waved away by Xia De, they would soon return. It wasn't until the god at the table smiled and spoke that the butterflies let Xia De sit down again. But soon they stopped on his shoulders again, which made Xia De very glad that he didn't bring that cat.

"No invested feelings, but if only in terms of techniques, I am afraid this era cannot find a mortal who can sing this song."

The god said with a smile, and then continued to evaluate:

"A very good song, but it's a pity, this is not your song. I would really like to meet the mortal woman who sang this song."

But it's a pity that the God of Butterflies left in the Fifth Era. Even if He made such a sigh at this moment, Xia De thought this was not any hint. He couldn't hear Miss Bernice's song in the Sixth Era unless the witch could be brought by Xia De next time.

The god heard that this was not Xia De's song, and Xia De was not surprised. He nodded slightly to agree with the god's (Chapter incomplete!)

view:

"I understand this is not my song, so I don't think I am the best one among us."

He picked up a petal and handed it to Witch Ms. Brichet:

"I give the first petal to this lady, I like your singing voice very much."

The middle-aged witch took it somewhat surprised. Seeing Xia De make the move, they all picked up the petals beside their hands. No one had the courage to play tricks in front of the god, so everyone chose the one they thought was the best singer, which was Xia De.

So three pink-white petals entered Xia De's hands. In the first activity of the Butterfly God's banquet, Xia De was in the lead.

"Since I am also sitting at the table, obviously I can also judge the best singer."

The god said with a smile. Two pink-white petals floated beside Him, obviously representing that He could cast two votes, but no one objected.

The butterflies surrounded the two petals and floated toward the same person, which was Mr. Lehman, the only man other than Xia De.

The people at the table didn't ask for the reason. The god's standard for judging songs was obviously different from mortals. Moreover, the songs of the four people just now could be called excellent. Maybe this god was just moved by Mr. Lehman's "determination."

Therefore, of the six petals in the first round, Xia De got three, the witch got one, Mr. Lehman got two, and Sister Perry, who was considered by Xia De to be the most likely final winner, didn't get any.

"Then, God of Butterflies, are you satisfied with the ballad we offered?"

Xia De asked on behalf of the four, and the god nodded slightly:

"Those are all very wonderful songs, and the butterflies and I like them very much."

The mortals breathed a sigh of relief, and the god smiled and continued:

"Before announcing what you need to do next, enjoy the banquet, you deserve to be rewarded. It is not just the winner, everyone deserves to be rewarded."

This god looked more generous than the gods Xia De had encountered in the past.

"Grant you health."

The golden wine cup in front of Mr. Lehman had more sparkling potion. After he thanked him excitedly, he drank the potion in one gulp.

"Grant you clear eyes."

Some faint light flew into Sister Brichet's eyes. She thanked him in a low voice, then lowered her head to pray.

Xia De didn't feel too many miracle elements. It seemed that the blessing given by the god should just be a simple "dark vision" or "vision expansion."

"Grant you beauty."

A grape that was originally piled in the silver plate rolled out and rolled in front of the middle-aged witch. It turned into a huge purple gemstone, which was a real divine art item.

The witch held back her smile and picked it up, thanking the god in a low voice.

So it was finally Xia De's turn. He also looked up at the God of Butterflies with great expectation. Even with his perception, he couldn't determine what the true form of this god was at the moment. The Old God 【Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly】 was extremely good at the power of illusion. Unless Xia De burned his divinity, what he could see was only a deeper level of illusion.

"I know what you want."

The god said to Xia De with a smile:

"I also know many answers you are seeking."

He shook his finger wearing a ring:

"But you didn't satisfy me, so I can't tell you. I give you three options, you can choose one from them as a blessing."

He was full of smiles, seeming to think this was very interesting:

"First, my butterflies like you very much, I can let one of them merge with you, giving you more power about butterflies."

This was almost equivalent to giving the miracle - "Butterfly" spirit rune to Xia De. Xia De even believed that the curse "Incarnation of Red Butterfly" could also become more powerful.

"Second, you are contaminated with a slight curse of the earth. Although this will not affect you, it lets me know what you are about to face. I can give you some hints... a small hint."

This was also a very tempting option. Even if he knew that what the god said must be an obscure "riddle," it was still very useful to Xia De.

"Finally, I can give you an interesting gift, but that gift you cannot take away, but have to find it yourself."

The god looked at Xia De's face, and Xia De also understood that it meant he had to find the gift in the time of the Sixth Era himself.

These three choices were actually very good. Xia De also saw that the god in front of him valued the fun in this more than giving him a gift. Dorothy said that this god was not a good god or an evil god in the strict sense, He was just a bit "not loving people." But in Xia De's contact, he felt that this god was really not bad.

Of course, if he could decide for himself, Xia De would rather have the god realize the wish of "letting the three leave safely after the banquet ends." This seemed to have no gain, but for him, it was a choice full of greater future possibilities. Unfortunately, he could only choose one of three.

First, exclude the first item. Although the spirit rune was precious, with further contact with the Helen and Grace sisters in the future, there was still a probability of obtaining the "Butterfly" spirit rune.

Then, after a little hesitation, he excluded the third item. It was not that Xia De looked down on the gift given by the god across time, but he was really too busy recently and had no time to add a task for himself:

"God, I want to know about the knowledge of the Mad Earth."

He said respectfully, looking forward to what kind of "riddle" he would hear. But unexpectedly, the god who appeared in the form of a beautiful woman nodded with a smile:

"No problem, you want my gift, this is very wise."

"Um..."

Xia De confirmed that what he chose just now was definitely not this.
