Chapter 376: Hymns of Fairies

People from Dark Castle came to Krakoks to choose singers for a choir?
As Shadow thought about the question, Papaya was still waiting for an answer while blinking her innocent green eyes.
Shadow rolled his eyes and quickly created another lie. “No. It’s my wife, Fiona, again. I came earlier so I can surprise her. Hey, don’t tell her that I came, alright?”
Papaya looked so excited. “Really? I won’t!”
Shadow tried to inquire for some other information from Papaya, such as the location of Hippocrates, and whether the Krakoks possessed any special abilities.
Papaya had no problem answering the first question. She even invited Angor and Shadow to join her journey, but Angor didn’t agree.
For the second question, Papaya only mentioned all sorts of strange rumors and legends, which had little to do with what they wanted to know.
Angor greatly appreciated such flexibility of mind and trained mentality. That was why he chose not to trouble the Krakok girl further.
This didn’t mean that he fully trusted her. Before Papaya left, he placed a small trace of nightmare aura on her, just in case.
Meanwhile, he noticed that an evil yet familiar aura was hidden in Papaya’s shadow.
Shadow’s trick, no doubt.
Angor and Shadow exchanged another meaningful look before they vanished into the air. They then headed down the hill.
…
“What do you think of that song?” Shadow asked through Spirit Bond.
“Do you mean the story or her voice?”
“Is there something worth asking about her voice?” Shadow chuckled.
“To me, it sounds more like a narrative poem which explains the history of Krakoks. The second and third paragraphs are obviously talking about the war a thousand years ago and being saved by the Dark Castle wizard. Except that they left out the part about how they looked miserable and sugarcoated themselves as brave warriors. I don’t know about the other two parts. I guess the last one is talking about something inside Dark Castle.”
“I agree. We should pay attention to the fourth paragraph.”
As they were both invisible, Angor didn’t notice that Shadow appeared extremely curious about something.
They were both trying to hide something, but compared to Shadow, Angor chose to ask his question by speaking in a casual manner.
“Remember the second clause? She said the ‘lands of serpents’, which means the former Water Grasse—Hippocratee. Why did they call that place the lands of serpents?”
“You’re interested in mortal history now?” Shadow replied.
“Just curious, that’s all.”
Shadow wasn’t doubtful at all since mortal history wasn’t anything important. “The Zeal Dominion destroyed everything related to the old nation, so it’s natural that you don’t know about it. They forbid all citizens from mentioning that part of history under any circumstances.
“The one that ruled over the land before Zeal Dominion came was called Akesolya.”
Angor felt his heart beating powerfully as he remembered the name of Akeso, the giant serpent that was living near the water where Pocratee hid underneath.
Shadow continued, “It was a really weird place too. They worshiped a giant beast, which was a snake or something like that. Papaya’s ‘lands of serpents’ should be referring to Akesolya.”
“What’s that snake called?” Angor tried to ask.
“The snake? Dunno. It’s only a symbolic totem or something. Do you really need to name a totem?”
