Mortal Epic of Douluo

Tonight's night is full of stars, it coincides with the end of the month, and the vast sky is almost unobstructed by dark clouds.

The academic style of the Barak Kingdom is very different from other places. As the de facto geographical center of the continent, countless mathematical schools meet here. Among them is an organization that observes and records astronomy [Star Observation Pavilion], which is opened every time the night sky is clear. The observatory is open to all astronomy enthusiasts.

Atreus liked observing astronomy very much. Although he chose bioarchaeology in his previous life for some reasons, it did not hinder his yearning for the vast universe.

Twenty miles outside Soto City there is a mountain called Mao'er Mountain, which rises from the flat and boundless Lima Plain and is as high as 2000 meters. It is the most suitable place for stargazing near Soto City. Guanxing Pavilion] has a branch there.

So at Atreus's suggestion, everyone in the second team followed him to Mao'er Mountain.Of course, Lou Qiao didn't come. That guy probably went to have a drink with Oslo and Yufeng, but there was an extra Dugu Yan following him, which was exactly the lineup for tonight's team battle.

There are not many people in the Star Observation Pavilion on the top of Mao'er Mountain. The Star Observation Pavilion is only organized by some idle soul masters who love astronomy. Its organizational strength is not strong. It is said that its leader is only at the soul king level.

Most of the people who can come here to visit are from well-off families. The aristocrats live in sensuality and the poor work hard to survive. However, well-off families have both the time and financial resources to participate in these things that do not consume too much money or energy.

There is an astronomical constellation map in the Star Observation Pavilion with a length of two meters and a width of two meters. The coordinates of the star map that can be observed and easily observed in Soto City are marked to facilitate people's observation.

Ning Rongrong liked to be exposed to this kind of new things, so after Atreus paid the usage fee of one silver coin and the deposit of five silver coins, she was the first to run to an unused astronomical telescope seat and start tinkering. .

But she quickly turned around and asked doubtfully: "How to use this thing? Doesn't it mean that if you point your eyes at this hole, you can see the stars getting bigger? Why can't I see anything?"

"Pfft-" Atreus couldn't help but laughed out loud, and gave Oscar a signal to show his face in front of Ning Rongrong.

When he was in Haagen-Dazs, Oscar often followed Atreus to watch the stars at night. He also bought some telescopes, but the magnifications were relatively low.

"Rongrong, come here, let me teach you how to use it." Oscar walked forward with a smile, reached out and took off the cover on the front of the telescope, and then motioned for Ning Rong to continue using it.

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue coquettishly and gently raised her fist to hit Oscar's chest, as if she was angry at herself for not being able to do such a simple thing.

"Wow wow wow -" Ning Rongrong just took one look and exclaimed with joy, "Oh my God! So beautiful!"

Ning Rongrong was immediately amazed by the scene in the astronomical telescope. When she looked up at the night sky before, she had never thought that the stars hanging high in the night sky would look like this.

Not only Ning Rongrong, but Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan on the other side also began to marvel. This was the first time they saw the "true face" of the vastness.In the past, I only cared about my feet, but now I look up at the night sky and realize that the stars are so bright.

Atreus took out a voice soul guide from his storage ring. Like the amplified soul guide used in the Great Soul Fighting Arena, they were both high-quality soul guides produced by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. As the name suggests, Naturally, it can store sounds.

Inject soul power into it, and the voice-recording soul guide will begin to play the sounds stored in it.

The first thing that caught my ear was the gentle sound of a piano, speaking softly.

At 28 seconds, the piano rhythm speeds up and a pizzicato sound is added.There are no guitars in this world, and Atreus doesn't know how to make guitars, so he tried dozens of string instruments and found a folk instrument from the Kingdom of Morik called "Lolo" to replace the sound of the classical guitar.

At 48 seconds, the cello joins in, adding a layer of heaviness to the whole piece.

At one minute and nine seconds, the violin follows up, and the layering suddenly becomes more distinct.

At one minute and 30 seconds, the tambourine joins in. Five instruments and five levels are integrated into each other, but they seem to be separated.

At one minute and 50 seconds, with a foreboding sound from the cello, the piece finally broke out and reached its first climax.Especially starting from two minutes and one second, the violin completely becomes the center of the performance, and all the emotions begin to burst out in an orderly manner at this moment, including depression, loneliness, misery, desolation, despair, relief, and sobs... ..

Everyone present was completely immersed in this beautiful piece of music. No one dared to breathe loudly for fear of missing any note.The original joy, expectation, and yearning for the vast starry sky completely changed after this song was played. They seemed to feel that to the vast starry sky, they were just a smiling dust.

The stars are shining and moving, but the people living on the ground are so small and pathetic.

"Did you write this piece of music?"

Dugu Yan was the first to wake up from the aftertaste of the music. The first thing he did after his thoughts changed was to ask Atreus, his charming face full of expectation.

"No," Atreus looked at the stars, trying to see the way he came, "The person who composed this piece of music is called Ludovico Iodi. He is a... musician that none of you know. ."

"You are talking nonsense again," Zhu Zhuqing looked at Atreus slightly angrily, "I have never heard such touching music since I was born. The person who created it must not be an unknown person! Poetry! Regardless of whether it’s music or music, I’ve never heard of any of the names of the authors you mentioned, so who else could it be if it wasn’t you?”

Atreus sighed and looked at her with a complicated expression, "I know you don't believe it, so you just think that I had a dream, dreamed about these poems and music, and then brought them to this world. Bar."

Zhu Zhuqing liked music very much, which Atreus only learned about after taking classes at Tiandou Royal Academy.She said that although she came from a big family in the Star Luo Empire, she had been alone since she was nine years old. Only music could soothe her lonely heart.

"Okay, I just think this song is very suitable to play when looking up at the stars. I brought you here today to make you happy and continue to look at the stars."

Atreus pushed Zhu Zhuqing back to her seat and asked her to concentrate on watching the starry sky, "A little to the left, no, a little to the right, a little to the right, then down, yes, down... Okay, carefully. Look, did you see anything?”

"There are two very bright stars."

"Besides these two stars, can we see other stars?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at it carefully for a while, "There seem to be four fairly bright stars. The bright star on the right has one not far to the lower right and one slightly further to the upper right; the bright star on the left has it. There is one very close to the left, and there is another far away on the lower left.”

"Yes, there are six stars in total. Do you want to know its name?"

Atreus leaned a little closer, so close that his breath could just blow past her earlobe when he spoke.Zhu Zhuqing held the telescope tightly, as if not only her eyes were looking up, but her heart was floating in the starry sky.

She followed his words absentmindedly and asked, "Does it... have a name?"

"Yes, of course." Atreus stood up straight and looked in that direction in the night sky, as if he could see the bright starry sky clearly without the aid of an astronomical telescope.

Atreus spread his arms, looking like he was embracing the starry sky, "I call it - the God of War constellation."

"This is what Atreus' brother Kratos taught him. His brother said that the name of the constellation of the God of War is Ares, and the name of Atreus comes from this. It is said that these six stars are those of the God of War. Incarnation." Oscar explained for Atreus.

It's an interesting statement, but no one paid much attention to it. There are all kinds of weird stories on Douluo Continent. Some are widely known all over the world, and some only exist in isolated villages.

Just as the story of the angel god killing evil and saving the world is widely circulated, it is said that the legend of the sea god is also spread on the west coast of the mainland. It is normal for Atreus to have a story about the god of war.

Just when they didn't take it seriously, Atreus's body suddenly changed, and a bright starlight suddenly bloomed from his chest, which was gorgeous and dazzling. All the people fell into coma.

Even Atreus did not expect this change, but soon he saw a stone floating from his chest. It was the relic left by his brother Kratos, the stone engraved with a Mountain peaks and strangely curved, token-like stones.

The stone order floats in the sky, constantly emitting bright starlight, seeming to mirror the Ares constellation in the night sky.

Then something even more bizarre happened. The Ares constellation, which could only be observed using an astronomical telescope, suddenly burst into dazzling starlight. Two main stars and four secondary stars suppressed countless stars in the night sky.

Then something even more incredible followed. Driven by the starlight of the six stars, a pattern appeared. It was...a bird that seemed to be jumping up, using its huge horns to The bucking ram!

"What...what happened?"

All the visions make Atreus unable to understand. What is the relic left by his brother Kratos on his chest?Why can it communicate with the Ares constellation?Why did everyone else fall into a coma except me?

But the next moment, Atreus couldn't think anymore, because when the starlight of the God of War constellation and the stone order on his chest dispersed, he fell to the ground instantly and fell into a coma.

The residents of Soto City also saw strange phenomena in the night sky. Some people fell into panic, some were amazed, and some thought nothing happened.

Only Leonid showed an inexplicable smile when he looked at the vision in the night sky.
