Chapter 748 Weird Town
After studying the finger water guns for a while, the traveler team headed back into the town.
The town of Petlica is indeed as Paimon said, full of romance and artistic atmosphere, with musical instruments everywhere.
Not only are many old musical instruments used as daily decorations, even the fences and seats are in the shape of musical scores, and exquisite stone sculptures can be seen everywhere on both sides of the winding paths.
These statues are images of ancient warriors in armor and armed with sharp weapons. Some are holding huge swords and ready for battle, while others are swinging swords straight into the distance.
Perhaps the carving is so good that it actually has the majesty and momentum of a legion.
Su touched his chin, took out a colored pencil, removed the cap with a "pop", stepped on the statue's hand, and first painted long and curled eyelashes on the eye sockets of the statue's helmet, and then used a red colored pencil to paint flaming red lips.
"Su, what are you doing?" Paimon flew over and held the girl's hand, looking around like a thief, "It will be bad if someone finds out you've destroyed a work of art! You'll be fined, right?"
"What do you mean by destruction? I am increasing the value of the artwork," the girl said shamelessly, "With the beautification of this greatest sage, the value of this statue has increased by 10 million Mora!"
Paimon quickly coaxed the girl down while no one was noticing, "Alright, alright, let's go shopping in town first, maybe there are some local specialties we can buy."
Su Xinran accepted Paimon's invitation to go shopping. As soon as she climbed down from the statue, she saw Kong with his eyes closed and his forehead pressed, looking uncomfortable.
Su:!
Paimon:!
Su quickly threw a cushion on the ground and quickly and carefully helped Kong lie down.
Paimon took out the seasickness package that Su hadn't used, and quickly gave Sora a relaxing and sobering massage.
Paimon was used to this scene, "I fainted again, but this time I'm making progress. I didn't fall to the ground and hit my head."
Su took a wet towel and wiped Kong's face. "Kong, do you need to drink some Chinese medicine to treat your symptoms of acclimatization?"
"I don't take Chinese medicine. I told you it's not caused by acclimatization." Kong pinched his brows after waking up, feeling that he was indeed very worrying, but he couldn't think of any way to prevent or solve the problem.
Come to think of it, apart from the telepathy with his sister, his soul sensitivity has never reached this level.
Could it be that apart from having his power sealed and suppressed by that strange god, had any other accident happened to him?
Sora, whose soul was affected by the ley lines and strong emotional memories for some reason, recounted the abnormality that had just occurred.
Sora: "It was like I was daydreaming while standing. I dreamed that I was in a heavy body..."
Kong was originally watching Su and Paimon playing together, when suddenly he seemed to meet the non-existent eyes of the statue.
The girls' voices gradually faded away, and another unfamiliar male voice sounded in my ears.
Sora opened his eyes and for a moment saw the flying music scores, then a man with white hair and a gold-decorated marble mask.
The masked man called him His Majesty and said that the ceremony of playing the great music of Phoebus was about to begin.
A flood of sorrow welled up in Sora's heart, and he spoke uncontrollably, "I saw... the sea swallowing the earth... the children of stone and brass also sank with it... everything that was once glorious fell apart."
Su activated the wisdom mode of the greatest sage, "Kong sensed the memory of the former owner of this land. That person dreamed that the sea swallowed up the land under his feet. And what he dreamed was true. The sea water did rise, and the glorious castle was gone. Now there is only a small town left."
Paimon concluded, "Sora dreamed about the past and had a prophetic dream that the territory would be destroyed in the future!"
Sora thought back and analyzed carefully, "The masked man was not surprised by what his king said. It seemed that he had known about this prophecy for a long time."
The masked man took him to the golden disc in the center of the hall, and then they rose to a higher place together.
Kong described the magnificent golden hall in his dream and the stone statues holding huge swords standing on both sides of the corridor.
Kong looked at the silent statues not far away, "These are the stone statues. In dreams, they move."
These stone statues were roughly four meters tall, but in the dream, he was taller than them. Not only that, his walking posture was also very strange, as if he had more than two legs.
When he reached the end of the scarlet carpet, a harp with golden strings appeared before his eyes. Before Kong could take a closer look, a calling voice drew his attention away.
Kong saw the crystal-clear, swaying "sky", and then the dream ended quickly.
Sora extracted two more bits of information from the dream, "The masked man claimed to be from Lemuria, and the voice called the "King" in the dream Remus."
"There is still some information left that seems very important, but I really can't grasp the clues. There are too many unknown things." What attracted his attention the most was actually the small golden-stringed harp.
Su nodded to show that he understood. "Then what we need to do next is..."
The girl raised her wrist crossbow and blasted colorful elemental armor-piercing bullets at the statue with flaming red lips and long eyelashes. Gravel and colorful light splattered, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the originally complete stone statue was full of incomplete beauty.
Su raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. "It hasn't turned into gravel yet. It looks pretty strong and durable."
Paimon put down his hands that were covering his ears and patted his chest. "They didn't move even after being beaten like this. It seems that they are not alive and there are no monsters hidden inside them."
Kong, however, showed a worried look as he looked towards the nearby town. "With such a big commotion, no one came out to check the situation... Something must have happened in Petricho Town."
A cat jumped out and ran towards the town.
Kong's guess was correct, something did happen in Petrick Town.
The residents here are still alive, but seem to be in a hallucinatory sleepwalking state, or as if they are role-playing in a stage play.
Paimon looked at the residents whose heads were glowing red and mumbling in a mystical way, feeling both scared and worried. "What on earth is going on here?"
Some residents spotted the group of travelers and gathered around them. "Barbarians who have not been bathed in the king's way? You should use our swords to cleanse your sins."
Before the Sujin crossbow could be loaded, a woman with golden brown curly hair and glasses hurried over and said in a pretentious voice: "Stand down, citizens. I am the tuner promoted by the Supreme Being, and I am here to tune the discordant music here in accordance with the wishes of Lord Boethius."
The tuner seemed to have a high status in the eyes of these residents in abnormal conditions. This set of rhetoric successfully dispersed the crowd, and the woman with golden brown curly hair ran into a stone house with a group of travelers.
After blocking the door with all kinds of furniture, the woman collapsed and sat down, "I'm so scared, so scared..."
Sora looked at this woman who had rarely retained her sanity, and asked her what exactly happened in Petrich Town.
