Chapter 763: A Song of Requiem
Phobos' voice was still steady and gentle. "Yes, this is everyone's wish. I will realize our common wish and bring happiness to everyone."
"We have decided to abandon the pride of the Lemurians and degenerate into insects again - to occupy the bodies of the Fontaine people, overthrow their country, and let the noble Lemuria come to the world again."
Mr. Wuss: "The darkness of human nature is not what we really want! The pride and hatred that have grown have twisted you and turned you into a twisted monster. You... no, it is we who have led ourselves to destruction."
Mr. Wus walked over and hugged the golden-stringed harp. "I will trap Phobos in that body. The rest is up to you."
Phobos didn't struggle, "Your wish is to disappear with me? Sorry, I can't grant you that. One... two... five...? Wait, why are everyone's wishes changing?"
"I am the last guardian. The Supreme One separated me from the Great Music so that I could one day have the opportunity to awaken my lost compatriots."
He shared all his memories of the past thousand years with his fellow men in Phobos.
Even after a lot of wear and tear, even though they are not all beautiful and happy, those fragile yet sincere memories and feelings still shine in his soul.
"I have wandered the world for a thousand years, just for this moment, to dispel the darkness and put an end to the thousand-year nightmare of my compatriots!"
Mr. Wuss, who merged with Phobos, drove the power of the great movement and sent out the consciousness of the Traveler Team.
"Go! Don't hesitate! Destroy me and Phobos together!"
As if waking up from a dream, the team of travelers opened their eyes and found themselves still in the magnificent hall.
The half-kneeling centaur stood up and raised the giant sword to fight again.
However, it seemed that he was injured too badly, and his strength was lost along with the spiritual dew and blood.
Or perhaps some of the souls in Phobos were awakened and their opinions were no longer unified.
The Centaurs moved slowly, and were eventually defeated again, kneeling before the Traveler Group.
The three members of the Traveler Team fell silent at the same time.
Want to take action?
...We need to take action and cannot allow Phobos' conspiracy to continue.
Mr. Woos...
Sora raised his sword, "I can't let his thousand years of hard work go to waste."
Before Kong could swing his sword, seven golems raised their giant swords and walked over.
Under Sora's alert, the golems swung down their giant swords of execution together, then lowered their heads in silence, not moving at all.
A ball of azure water mixed with gold flew out from the shattered Centaur Golem.
"I have completed the journey I should take and fulfilled my duty. From now on, there will be no more Cassiodorus and no more gold hunters in the world."
There was a lot of ease in Mr. Wus's voice. "Thank you, my young brave friends, thank you for accompanying me to the end of my journey."
The water mass dissipated into dim notes, and a cat fell from it, which was caught by Sora.
Sora: "It turns out that even the possessed cat is well protected... Mr. Wus is a reliable and gentle friend."
The cat no longer had the gold and jewel-studded collar around its neck, and although its eyes were lively, it no longer had the calm and steady look of Mr. Woos.
Paimon hugged the cat with tears in his eyes. The clever cat licked Paimon's hair as if comforting a kitten.
Su: "Leaving is a relief for him after thousands of years of hard work. I hope his soul can reunite with the person he has been waiting for."
The golden disc under their feet suddenly started to move, carrying the travel team and the cat to a higher place.
When the disc stopped, everyone found themselves in a magnificent hall.
In the empty concert hall, the magnificent golden orchestral instruments and the gem-like spiritual dew complement each other.
At the end of the scarlet carpet, the white-string harp formed by Remus's remaining power has been waiting for a thousand years.
Sora took down the harp and handed it to the girl beside him.
Su was stunned for a moment, and the harp was handed to her again.
Paimon had perked up, and said in a muffled voice, "We have determined that ordinary string instruments cannot withstand Su's plucking. If you want to listen to Su playing, now is your chance."
By the way, I wonder if Wendy’s Sky Harp can withstand Su’s performance?
How about borrowing it and trying next time... No, it seems that the Sky Harp has been broken by Wendy!
Sora also pulled out a harp, "I'll play with you."
Under the expectant gaze of his friends, Su took the harp.
Su plucked the strings tentatively and felt the trembling strings seemed to respond to him. The flow of the notes went from being rough to smooth, and a golden bee flew out from it.
Spots of light were floating on the golden bee's body, as if it was waving a golden ribbon. As it danced to the sound of music, it led out the souls hidden in the river of spiritual dew.
The golden light was swaying, and countless white birds flew out freely from the deep sea, just like the day when Remus, under the guidance of Sibyl, survived the storm and arrived at Melopes.
Like spiritual dew smelted from gems, countless golden spots of light surged towards the sea and the sky along with the golden bees guiding the souls, like a golden meteor shower flying in reverse.
During the Requiem, Sue seemed to hear a voice singing.
The ocean of tears will never dry up, and they will rise to the sky and eventually turn into rain.
Please tell me that all this hardship is not in vain.
At least at one point, they were truly happy.
The wheel of fate never stops, the guilty rise from the sea of suffering, heaven, please grant them rest...
The girl plucked the last note of the Requiem and closed her golden eyes as the white strings of the harp faded away. "God, please grant them rest in peace."
——*——*——
The matter has now been resolved, and the traveler team has recovered their spirits and started to collect their property.
The golden palace is a huge ship that looks like a musical instrument. The top of the ship is a music hall, and the cabin below is filled with spiritual dew and treasures.
Statues, musical instruments, various music scores and opera scripts. The remaining glittering decorations, if you look closely, are all props prepared for the stage.
The shape is classic and gorgeous, but the material is not very expensive. It is usually made of shiny brass and gem-like glass.
Paimon: "The number of gold coins and gems is very small. Yes, the Lemurians don't need them."
Kong: "Those artworks are actually very valuable, but it's hard to accurately value them. And if it's one or two, it's fine. Selling so many all of a sudden will disrupt the market and cause trouble."
Su found a remarkable item, a pure gold goblet inlaid with pearls, filled with a pool of spiritual dew that was insoluble in water.
The group of travelers gathered together to watch.
Paimon: "This is the golden cup that Egolia gave to Remus. Didn't the golem say that the spirit dew was used up?"
Su: "How can you trust everything the enemy says? Paimon, you are just too naive."
In order to save some spiritual dew as insurance, he simply reused the bodies of his comrades. This is the basic operation of a villain with no bottom line.
"I still think the legend that the golden cup can grant any wish is unrealistic," Sora warned.
Su sensed it and said, "The cup is just an ordinary cup. Its special function is that it can hold a lot of water."
Oh, and a ball of unused spiritual dew was also included.
