Chapter 3373 Elegy
In Angel's eyes, Uriel is a very talented music master who is very serious about music. Music is an elegant art, and Uriel is also an elegant person in Angel's heart.
But if Uriel lives in such a messy room in real life, the contrast is very big.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.
Many geniuses are often extremely outstanding in one aspect, but they are not even better than children in another aspect; could Uriel be such a genius in music and a mediocre in life?
Of course, in addition to this situation, there is another possibility.
That is, Uriel encountered some changes, or external blows, which made him decadent and depressed, lingering in alcohol all day and night, not caring about the world, and not using his hands, which caused the current sloppy appearance?
Angel didn't know which one it was, but he actually preferred the latter in his heart.
Because Uriel once said in a ‘dream’ state: “I will only have one partner, and that person has gone to the Temple of Glory.”
Uriel in a dream state is actually Uriel in reality. Therefore, this sentence in a dream state must correspond to his reality.
This sentence contains two important pieces of information.
And these two important pieces of information are extended from the “Temple of Glory”.
In the wizard world of the Western Land, the Church of Glory is spread all over the continent and is the faith of countless people. In the canon of the Church of Glory, after the death of an innocent person, he will ascend to the Temple of Glory, which is the home of the soul and the pure land of bliss.
So, from Uriel’s words, it can be determined that he lives in the Western Land and must have been influenced by the Church of Glory.
And the second piece of information is that his partner is dead, and he will never choose a second partner again.
The death of Uriel’s most important partner is not a serious change and an unbearable blow to Uriel?
Also, don’t forget Uriel’s preference for music analyzed by Guyin.
Uriel was very dissatisfied with religion and even wanted to rebel against it.
Combined with the background mentioned above, the religion that Uriel rebelled against was most likely... the Glorious Church.
Living in the divine territory of the Glorious Church, he secretly thought about rebelling against the Glorious Church. Does this mean that he was persecuted by the Glorious Church?
If we go a step further, combined with the previous speculation, will the death of Uriel's partner also be related to the persecution of the Glorious Church?
If so, it seems understandable that Uriel would become depressed and slovenly after such a big blow, and be confused all day and night.
Of course, the above is just an unwarranted association of Angel after seeing the messy room.
Whether this is the case or not, no one can tell except Uriel himself.
…
Time goes back to more than ten minutes ago.
In the messy room, Uriel seemed to have no bones, slumped on the sofa full of dirty clothes.
His head was looking up, his eyes focused on the mottled ceiling, as if he wanted to see a flower from the dirty lines on the ceiling.
He was in this dazed state until the sound of Luigi's harp sounded, and then he slowly came back to his senses.
"Where is the music coming from?" Uriel's confused mind suddenly popped up a sentence: "I seem to have auditory hallucinations again."
"Hey, why did I say 'again'?"
Uriel was just about to use his few thoughts and think deeply, but at this moment, Luigi's harp sound suddenly changed from cheerful and jumping to slightly solemn, clear and clean.
Is this... religious music?
When he heard religious music, Uriel wanted to think about what it meant to have 'auditory hallucinations again', but now he threw away this idea directly: "Never mind, let it be hallucinations."
Religious music is his old profession, and he is best at religious music.
So when he hears religious music, he will be addicted to it involuntarily.
But... religious music is also the music that makes him most painful. It is so clean and clear, but who can know that hidden under these holy music are piles of sins and atrocities.
Therefore, when he heard religious music, he felt extremely complicated, which made him addicted and disgusted.
Uriel tried to raise his head to see who was playing religious music. Could it be the church choir?
However, his body became very stiff for some reason, and it took a lot of effort to move even a little.
If Uriel used all his strength, he could raise his head slightly, but when he raised his head halfway, he suddenly gave up.
Because the music in his ears slowly entered... the chapter of the story.
The melodious music, with a religious flavor, sounded clean and clear, but it gave Uriel a feeling that behind the clean and clear was a deep sadness.
The creator wrote this music, as if he was telling a story to people.
This story is... a sad song under the core of religion.
Because of this, Uriel didn't want to think about any other tedious things, didn't want to see who was playing, he just wanted to enter the story and see what kind of sad song it was?
Could it be, the same as 'his' situation?
At this moment, Luigi, who was sitting opposite Uriel, was immersed in the performance of "Black Sheep's Confession".
If he knew that Uriel had heard the "dark elegy" under the holy story, he would probably be scared. After all, the real elegy chapter of "The Confession of the Black Sheep" is in the middle and late stages.
The early chapters are just about a carefree priest who spreads the gospel in the monastery.
Just through the early chapters, the tragic core of the whole piece of music is grasped.
Luigi can't do it.
Uriel has such ability, which shows that he is far superior to Luigi in music appreciation... Of course, this is also because Uriel is good at religious music, and the priest who composed "The Confession of the Black Sheep" composed this piece of music when his faith had already deviated. It is too difficult to ask a heretic to create completely pure and flawless religious music that praises merits.
Therefore, Uriel can hear the dissatisfaction contained in it as soon as he hears it.
If it is other types of music, Uriel will be impatient at this time. Even the underlying emotions of the music cannot be pure. What kind of good music is it?
But this is religious music, and the underlying emotion is: a sad song under holiness.
To a certain extent, it just fits Uriel's mood and... dilemma.
So, even though the first part of "Black Sheep's Confession" is not so pure, it still caught Uriel's ears... He was looking forward to the venting of the sad song in the middle and late parts.
Soon, the trend of the music began to change slowly.
The clear and indirect notes began to be replaced by complex and occasional noises.
This also means that "Black Sheep's Confession" has entered the middle part.
The originally carefree and pious priest was assigned to the position of "spreading the gospel" and "enlightening the lost sheep" by the superiors. It was also at this time that he heard countless dark inside stories from the prayers of the believers.
And these dark inside stories, the things that caused the suffering of the believers, were mostly oppression by power desire. In the Principality of Eugris where he lived, the "Situ Religion" he believed in was the largest power institution, and the "Lord of the Sky" Situ was the only god!
But in the area ruled by theocracy, the people are oppressed by the powerful... This would not have happened without the tacit approval of the Sito Church.
So, the "Sito Church" he believed in turned out to be the source of darkness...
The content of the middle part of "The Black Sheep's Confession" tells the story of such a pious priest. Because he witnessed the darkness, especially the darkness was caused by "faith", his mentality slowly changed.
This chapter has the rhyme of a sad song.
When Uriel heard this, he was completely fascinated. He seemed to have entered the story of "The Black Sheep's Confession", but in the story, he was not the pious priest, but one of the countless miserable civilians who were flattened under theocracy.
Uriel's emotions were fluctuating, and he thought of himself. Under the vast theocracy of the Holy Light Church, he and...he were just a rut crushed by the ruthless wheels.
This kind of emotional fluctuation is no longer the mist in his heart, but is manifested in Uriel's expression.
When Luigi looked up inadvertently, he happened to see Uriel's expression.
This was a scene that had never appeared in Luigi's previous performances.
Luigi's eyes lit up, and his heart blossomed instantly, which meant that this time the music really hit the mark and entered Uriel's heart!
Luigi knew very well that his skills could not be improved in a short period of time. If he wanted to get a higher seat with Uriel, he could only start with the score.
Now that the score was correct, "Black Sheep Confession" had entered Uriel's heart, then what he had to do next was very simple...
Go all out, invest more emotions, and make yourself and the protagonist of "Black Sheep Confession", who was also the creator - the priest of the Principality of Eugris, one!
You are me, and I am you.
Completely integrate into the role and maximize the emotional traction!
It is difficult for Luigi to integrate into the role so well in other scores, but "Black Sheep Confession" is different. Ingres bought him three days in Shock's haunted house and created an illusion that is exactly the same as the core of "Black Sheep Confession". At that time, he was the protagonist of the story. He personally experienced everything about the creator in the illusion, including the final complete tragedy of releasing everything and releasing himself!
Now, it's just a matter of getting back to the state at that time.
This is not difficult for a master of interpretation like Luigi.
Moreover, Luigi is a little different from other performers. He is the time body of Laplace, and each time body and punctual time body of Laplace will magnify a certain characteristic of itself.
For example, the characteristic of the punctual time body "Meggie" is "tolerance to the good".
Luigi also has his own unique characteristic, which is "the pursuit of dreams".
Once Luigi sets a goal and begins to enter the "dream-chasing" state, his blood will be ignited, his senses will be magnified, and everything will be good.
It is similar to a natural all-round gain effect.
This gain even has a bonus to "infectivity".
Therefore, when Luigi seriously entered the state, the emotional infection of the sad song, which was only 80 points, was instantly raised to 90 points by him, even infinitely close to the full score.
For ordinary listeners, this may not make much difference, it is just a matter of how deep they are into the play; but for music connoisseurs like Uriel, a little change is enough to make him feel a different world!
Before this, Uriel was still in the state of "involved" in the story, and could barely dispel his emotions. He could even withdraw from the story at any time if he wanted. But now, he was taken directly on the roller coaster, without any foreplay, and instantly soared a hundred meters into the sky.
In this case, the overflowing emotions floating in the sky could not be self-dispelled, so he could only enter internalization.
Internalization once again infected Uriel, making him more deeply involved in the story. Even if he wanted to withdraw, he could not do so. He could only follow the progress of the story... rise and fall together.
At this time, "Black Sheep Confession Song" just entered the most climax of the finale.
Entering with drum beats-
The drum beats performed by the harp are not as heavy as the original drum beats, but more sharp. It just fits the original story, the priest's sharp but fragile heart like a taut string.
The notes did not immediately reach the climax, but accumulated power with continuous sharp drum beats, long classical whistles, and religious solemn sounds from time to time.
There is no doubt that when the power accumulates to the highest point, it will bloom with amazing and brilliant sparks!
In the story, the priest directly came into contact with the darkest side with the purest and flawless heart, which also made his heart change suddenly.
At first, he was still trying to relieve himself and endure.
And this process of endurance is the process of drum beat accumulation.
But endurance can't last too long, because he is a priest who spreads the gospel, and he will continue to listen to the distress of the believers. More distress followed, and these distresses were like accumulated dark depressions, which constantly impacted the priest's heart.
Until this day, a believer who was less than ten years old died in front of him.
The nobleman wearing the honorary medal of the Situ Church killed this innocent and lovely... just like his past self, his most beloved believer.
Looking at the dead little believer, the priest suddenly saw his own face on the body.
It seemed that it was not him who died, but himself.
Boom--
In an instant, the dam collapsed.
The priest's heart was completely broken.
The pure white paper was no longer twisted on the fingertips and hung in the air, but was released, drifting slowly and sinking into the ink-colored pool.
The white paper was stained black in just a moment of immersion.
The notes also changed completely at this moment, from the accumulated bass to the long notes that kept rising.
This also represents the priest's mood at this moment.
Every time the long note rises, the priest in the story is further involved in the darkness.
He abandoned the light, he became the nightmare of the Situ Church, and also became what the Situ Church called: a black sheep devil in human skin.
He was avenging all those who dragged him into the darkness.
The powerful, the pope, and the accomplices were all his targets.
When he also became the "devil" in the mouth of a certain accuser, the priest finally came to his final place - the Cathedral of Heaven of the Situ Church.
The flames burned in the Cathedral of Heaven.
The notes also reached their peak at this moment!
The manic notes, like flames, constantly burned everything around.
The crazy demon was surrounded by black bloody corpses.
In the fierce sea of fire, the demon came to the choir stage and performed the last song.
This song was "Black Sheep Confession Song"!
When the song was over, the fire completely submerged the demon.
The flames burned away the demon's shell, revealing the white and flawless face of the priest inside.
Then, the flames continued to burn, spreading the face to the point where it could not be seen.
Until everything turned into orange sparks...
The notes stopped abruptly.
The song ended.
