Chapter 503: Ode to Joy Yes!
Friend, why bother repeating the same old tune!
Let's let our singing join us into a joyful chorus!
Joy, joy, joy and beauty of the Lady of Joy, the brilliant light shines on the earth!
We come to your temple with fire-like zeal!
Your power can unite humanity again, and all humans will become brothers under your gentle wings.
The melody of Ode to Joy is resounding in a small town in the underground world, and although people are in a hurry to get to and from work, when they come to the source of the sound, they will all hum along to the melody in style.
At this moment, it seems that everyone is a great singer, and no one will refuse anyone to join in this sea of joy.
In the square, the band that played Ode to Joy was not from the same group, but people dressed in oil, dirt, or flour gathered together to play with their musical instruments.
When Zhao Yannian and the brave men flew over the town in this magic flying car, when they saw this scene, Neuham, as a bard, immediately shouted and demanded to stop.
Sitting on the magic speeder, Neam slapped his hand on the armrest of his seat as he stuck his head out the window and looked out of the window.
Under Zhao Yannian's order, the dark elf guard in charge of driving it stopped the magic flying car very thoughtfully at this time, and lowered the floating height of the flying car.
After hearing the lyrics, Neham began to hum along, and when all eight verses of Ode to Joy had been sung, Neham had already picked up his lute and began to try to play it in an ensemble.
It's just that the lute, after all, is a solo instrument used by bards to accompany themselves, and although it has a beautiful sound, it has only five strings and lacks the characteristics of the sound, and in this kind of large-scale symphonic ensemble, it can only be helplessly drowned in this sea of music.
After several attempts, Neham was unable to incorporate the lute into Ode to Joy, and he could not express the great appeal of such an ensemble if he played it alone.
It was only after a long time that Neham sighed a little sadly, and when he looked up, he found his companions all looking at him worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just the first time I've heard so many people play such beautiful music together, and it's even more powerful than the soundtrack I've heard in a movie before."
Neam comforted his partner with some embarrassment, but as soon as his partner breathed a sigh of relief, Neam got up and walked to Zhao Yannian's side and began to ask questions to Zhao Yannian like a cannon.
"Wait!
Wait a minute!
Don't be in a hurry!
I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask, but if you ask such a question, I can't handle it.
After being bombarded with a series of questions from Neuham, Zhao Yannian had to calm down the emotional Neuham.
Then, at his signal, the dark elf guard with two knives at his waist slowly landed the magic speed car in the special magic speed car parking lot outside the town.
Then Zhao Yannian led the brave men into the town on foot, but unfortunately, when they came to the square they saw from mid-air, the joyful performers had already left the square with their musical instruments.
"My lord, it's shift time, and I think the performers are back to their jobs."
The dark elf said to Zhao Yannian, and Zhao Yannian hurriedly remedied after seeing Neume's disappointed expression.
"They all learned these songs from the town's vocational school, and if you just want to know about the Ode to Joy, I can take you on a tour of the school."
Zhao Yannian said to Neum, but Neam still looked depressed.
"My lord, we don't have that much time to spend on my personal hobbies, I think we'd better get down to business right away, and then we'll have to rush back to the City of Light to prepare for the next wave of demon attacks."
Although Neam looked itching, but in the end Neam still rejected Zhao Yannian's suggestion, the pressure on the shoulders of the brave people is not much younger than Zhao Yan, and they are even younger and inexperienced, so they must keep themselves vigilant at all times.
"Don't worry, the school is also part of this visit, maybe the school in this small town that you met by chance will be more authentic to you."
After Zhao Yannian finished speaking, he couldn't help but order the dark elf guards to lead the way for them, and after the female dark elf called up the map data from the personal computer on her wrist, she led Zhao Yannian and the others to a building in the central area of the town.
Relying on the identity of the dark elves and the highest-level pass, Zhao Yannian and several people successfully passed the doorman and entered the school, which is different from the aristocratic school in Neum's impression, in this small town school, there are some adults who are learning in the classroom.
The adults, ranging in age from twenty to sixty, sat in the same classroom, listening intently to the lecture of a scholar-like man on the podium, and the content of the lecture turned out to be about the different properties of the magical elements in the air and in the human body, which shocked the two magicians present, and the magician Dorne then released his mental power, but the confused expression on his face did not relieve, but even became more serious.
"Your Excellency, none of these people seem to have the qualifications of a mage, do they?"
None of the magician Dorne's mental powers reacted to his mental powers after sweeping the classroom, and although this behavior was rude, he had to use this behavior to confirm the ridiculous scene he had seen before after hearing the lecture on the change of elemental form.
Some of the workers and peasants who have no magic at all are learning advanced magical theories under the tutelage of a scholar, and they seem to be unusually serious, as if they are really advanced archmages who urgently need to stabilize their mana to construct triggered spells.
"At the moment, they're really ordinary people, and I'll explain that to you later, let's go to the art classroom first and learn about Ode to Joy, and then when we get there, you'll know what I want to show you."
Zhao Yannian didn't seem to plan to uncover the mystery now, so he first dragged the brave men to the second floor of the school in this very narrow town.
In a somewhat empty room, several oval-shaped white learning machines were placed in the corner of the room, and on the other side of the room, a variety of used and somewhat worn instruments were placed on the instrument stands.
"In order to ensure the mental state of the subjects of the empire in the final refuge, and give them enough spiritual entertainment, which can greatly soothe their emotions, every place of residence of the imperial subjects in the empire will now set up several subjects about music and painting, literature, history, etc., for the subjects of the empire to study for free, in fact, according to the statistics of the internal affairs department, almost more than 90% of the children in the underground shelter have participated in this kind of learning, and 70% of them have already taken these things, As a long-term hobby of theirs......"
Under Zhao Yannian's explanation, the brave men understood why those civilians played such beautiful and infectious music before, and since those passers-by were able to sing together, it also showed that they had received the same education as the performers.
Although the final outcome of this education will still depend on individual talent and hard work, under this extensive education, there is no doubt that the cultivation of the entire inhabitants of the underground vault will be greatly improved.
It's just that this kind of improvement does not make the brave feel any yearning, in their opinion, what human beings need today is more force, and singing and painting poetry can only be regarded as a useless luxury for people who are still on the ground.

Even Neam suddenly became a little depressed at this time, and after hastily getting the score of Ode to Joy through the learning machine, Neham took the initiative to ask Zhao Yannian to go to the destination as soon as possible.
The ideas of the brave men are almost not disguised, and Zhao Yannian can naturally easily see it, but at this time he did not make any explanation, in order to make human beings evolve into a higher form of civilization, these things are useless on the surface but have a far-reaching impact in his opinion, but for the current braves, this concept is still too advanced.
Subsequently, the magic speeder quickly flew to the vicinity of the city of Eternal Night, where the original dark elves lived, and in that area, a new modern city has replaced the original nest of the original dark elves for thousands of years.
As soon as they entered the city, the brave men immediately felt the hustle and bustle of the new imperial capital, and in addition, they found that in this city whose name they did not know, people walked extremely fast.
Although the speed of these ordinary people is not worth mentioning for professionals, when everyone came and went in a hurry, this abnormal phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the brave.
"Where are these people going?"
Looking at the flow of people walking in the same direction, Atri asked Zhao Yannian a question.
"They're getting ready to go to bed, and we happen to be sleeping here tonight, so let's just follow them."
After Zhao Yannian finished speaking, he followed the crowd without looking back, and the brave people who were confused could only follow Zhao Yannian's footsteps tightly, for fear of losing their way in this huge city.
After walking for about ten minutes, the brave men and Zhao Yannian came to a huge circular building, and after following the flow of people into this stadium-like building, the brave men were completely shocked by the white machines that were densely placed like insect eggs.
