Chapter 407: Selecting Singer
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The clerics sounded their horns to create a rising echo in the hall, which suggested the start of the choir selection.
Group by group, potential Krakok singer ladies ascended the stage to show their voice.
The “Hymns of Fairies” was the key that activated the secret treasure, and only certain Krakoks with a special bloodline power could use this key. It had nothing to do with their voices. The point of the ceremony was to find such a key user.
To make it quicker, four singers entered the stage each time, and each of them performed one paragraph of the poem.
Every singer sounded amazing. Angor and Shadow gladly enjoyed the show just for the sake of relaxing.
“So the Hymns recorded the history of Krakoks, right?” Angor spoke to the old priest.
“Yes. Certain wordings are amended to go with the rhyme, but most of what you hear are historical facts.”
Shadow chuckled. “So, Akeso and Pocratee…”
“You better stay away from Pocratee,” Angor said when he quickly read what was on Shadow’s mind, “That’s not something you can sniff about.”
Shadow played innocent and rolled his eyes.
“I think I’ll warn you, just for the sake of our covenant—step in there if you wish to die. It doesn’t matter if you make it as a wizard or truth-finder hero.”
Angor knew as a fact that Pocratee was far from safe, considering how the rainbow dragonflies built their nest in the middle of the place. He still didn’t know why, and he wasn’t strong enough to figure it out either.
“I’ve told you enough. Feel free to go on if you want a quick death.”
Shadow was actually surprised to see Angor acting so seriously. He gave up most of his urge to explore the secret in his mind, but the tiny remains of his idea could rise again… if given the chance.
While they talked, the choir selection also proceeded according to schedule.
Several dozens of singers had finished their performance, and they still hadn’t found a proper “key singer” yet.
“Why do this every year? You can’t just use the same singer?” Angor frowned when he watched the singer group getting smaller. According to the old priest, about 3% of their female members possessed the required power. That was quite a lot, considering the population of Krakoks.
But it seemed as if their selection was going to fail at this rate.
“No. The bloodline power can only be used once. After each ceremony, we must choose a new singer.”
“Once? What will happen to the singer when she uses the power?”
“Nothing in particular. In fact, she will gain fame and wealth for joining the Sky Choir.”
A new group of singers had come onto the stage when Angor quickly noticed someone familiar among them.
Papaya from Seedling Village.
