It's a very strange thing.
That was Kelly's first thought when Caroline pulled "that" out of the crate. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see it as a weapon. Instead, it seemed more like a beautiful work of art. The strange object was divided into two parts, consisting of a long stick that looked like a longbow, but the bowstring was unusually close to the body, and an odd prop that looked like a gourd cut into flat surfaces, but with four thin strings tied to it.
"Is this ...?"
"Does it really work?"
Jared seemed more worried about the other side of the coin than Kelly's doubts.
"Technology and such ..."
(Surprisingly, it went very well. I thought it might not go as well as I thought, but now it seems to be going better than I thought.)
Caroline reached out and stroked the four threads, then picked up the other Longbow.
"Ms. Caroline, what exactly is this?"
(It's called a violin. It's a musical instrument.)
After casually pulling the bow over the instrument and confirming the tone, Caroline gave Kelly a small smile. But Kelly was a bit surprised, after all, she had never seen such an instrument, and in fact, the music in this world was not as developed as in Jared's world. Due to the need for magic, the people of this world had basically gotten used to singing, but were not very interested in musical instruments. Only bards play rudimentary instruments, and use them for opening ceremonies and soliciting customers. But that's about it, music is just a superficial thing for them, and they rely on their storytelling ability and tone of voice rather than the music itself. In a world where the ability to sing is very advanced, the instruments they play are still very primitive. That's why Kylie didn't think much of it at first, except for curiosity. After all, in a magician's image, that kind of rough music was useless except for being a stumbling block, and if it was someone else who did it, I'm afraid that Kylie would have completely ignored it. But since Caroline was going to play, she had to be patient and listen, no matter what, she still had to give her face.
Even though Kelly didn't say anything, there was a glint of disbelief in her eyes that Jared recognized. But he just smiled and pulled up a chair, confident that Kylie would see things differently once she'd heard the song.
Leaning her violin lightly against her shoulder, Caroline took two steps backward, owed a slight bow to Kelly and Jared, and then, strung her bow.
The melodious sound of the piano.
The smooth, unobstructed and beautifully soft sound of the piano blew like the wind and echoed in the room. Kelly couldn't help but sit up straight, her eyes widening in surprise as she stared at Caroline playing. She had never heard an instrument with such a beautiful tone and sound. The minstrel's tricks were no match for this marvelous performance!
The original sound of the piano as a clear stream in a moment suddenly became tense, the listener as if in an instant from the quiet forest to the stormy sea, Kylie can even feel like a furious beast of the waves roaring up, sweeping their own bodies, as if by a huge and irresistible hand grabbed, slowly dragged down to the abyss. She couldn't help but rise to her feet to resist the inexplicable shudder.
At the moment of the climax, the sound of the piano softens again, just like a sailor struggling for survival in a storm returning to the calm sea, filling the space with a substantial smoothness and serenity, soothing the emotions that were originally agitated by the tension.
"Huh?"
Jared, who was enjoying it from the sidelines, suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Kelly's demeanor, that there was a blank look in her eyes, and that Kelly took a similarly deep breath during the transition to Caroline's next bar.
Then she started to sing.
With Caroline's melodious and gentle sound, Kylie's song was like adding new colors and pages to the original pattern of scenery, what was even stranger was that it was the first time she heard this violin song, but Kylie acted as if she was familiar with it from a long time ago, and she even unconsciously made obvious additions in the place where she should have originally paused and lengthened her voice. Accompanying the song, greenish magical light began to appear around Kylie, changing into a green ball of light, with Kylie as the center hovering and dancing. These balls of light also seemed to dance with the same rhythm, and their light also changed to light and dark. Caroline, who was immersed in her own performance with her eyes closed, naturally did not notice anything unusual, and Kylie also seemed to have lost her mind, turning a deaf ear to this strange phenomenon before her eyes. The fresh wind and the scent of wildflowers wafted out, and for a moment, Kylie even became synonymous with elegance, just like Caroline. But unlike Caroline, her body was filled with an aura that was beyond human.
Just as the stormy winds die down, and the banquet comes to an end, the last note slips through, and the room returns to silence once more.
"What's going on with me ...?"
Kelly then came back to her senses, her voice trembling slightly as she stared in disbelief at the orb of light that surrounded her.
And at that moment, those balls of light, but as if they have their own will, slowly gathered in front of Kelly's eyes, and then ... changed into a small elf form.
"How ... possible ... I ..."
Kelly looked at the elf in front of her, she was so excited that she couldn't speak. Kylie took three deep breaths at the tiny green elf in front of her, but she couldn't calm down. Caroline, who had put away her instrument, slowly stepped back and looked at Kelly with a puzzled and confused expression.
"Who knows?"
Naturally, Jared wasn't sure what was going on, but the way Kelly looked, it couldn't be anything bad.
Kylie shakily reached out her right hand and gently extended it toward the floating elf, who in turn reached out with two small hands and clasped one of the fingers on her right hand .
A chime-like laugh rang out, and then the elf transformed into a green magical light once again, enveloping Kylie's body and slowly disappearing into thin air.
"I ... I ..."
"Hey, are you okay?"
In any case, the behavior of this Kylie was too abnormal, so Jared asked curiously. But Kylie just stared at the finger that was touched by the green elf, and after a long time she suddenly jumped up and hugged Jared, who was trying to walk over and pat her on the shoulder to bring her back to reality.
"I advanced! I actually advanced!!!"
"Eh? Huh? What?"
(Promotion?)
Kelly was shouting and screaming with delight, losing her usual seriousness, and both Jared and Caroline were so dumbfounded by the sudden change that they couldn't understand what Kelly was trying to say.
"I've, I've been recognized by the Spirit of Magic and stepped into the realm of chanting!"
Kylie's excitement and joy was palpable, and indeed, it was no wonder she was so excited.
Anyone with talent can become a wizard if they work hard. Even for a girl like Tawana, if she worked hard, it was only a matter of time before she reached the level of a real magician. But after that, it takes more than just hard work, just as no one knows what it takes to become a Chanting Envoy, magicians are also confused about how to enter the Chanting field, although the number of people who enter the Chanting field is at least more than the number of people who become Chanting Envoys, but it is still a minority. And each one of them said something completely different, there was no track at all. Moreover, unlike the condition of being destined to become a Chanting Enchanter from the moment of birth, there was no need for such a harsh condition to enter the realm of Chanting, but there was no clue at all. Many magicians spend their entire lives without being able to enter the realm of chanting.
Out of 10,000 people, there is only one person who is suitable to become a wizard, and out of a hundred such wizards, there may only be one wizard who truly enters the realm of chanting. The chance of one in 100,000 could be said to be extremely low. Although she had known that she would become a Chanting Envoy, it was no wonder that Kylie was so ecstatic that she had already broken through the biggest bottleneck of a magician after only a few months of learning magic.
"I understand you're happy, but can ..."
"Ah ..."
Noticing her action, Kelly hurriedly sent her hand away, blushing and taking two steps backward, while Jared then moved his body. Both of them were stunned at Kelly's stuttering story.
(That means Kelly you ...)
"That's right."
Kelly nodded .
"I've joined Miss Serenity and Miss Wendy as a Praetorian-in-training."
