Chapter 444: Chapter 383 The Singing Stone_1

He had mistaken the identity, the figure before him was not Regina, but a young Elf, fair and clean, with golden, shoulder-length hair, a face well-groomed and pristine, dressed in a bright red bard’s attire, holding a small, delicate harp. In each movement, there was boundless charisma and grace.

The wind danced and sang around him.

In his handsome eyes, there shone a dazzling Divine Nature Radiance.

This young stranger was an incarnation of a True God.

As for which True God, one could guess without even thinking.

The God of Singing, Miliel, known as the King of Songs, Lord of Songs, King of Ten Thousand Songs, the protector of singers and bards, the caretaker of life in music, a true hand of the all-wise Oghma (a divinity belonging to Oghma, the God of Knowledge).

His main clerical role was song.

When a masterpiece from another world was sung in this one.

When a Fairy Song, by tens of thousands of fairies and hundreds of thousands of other creatures, resounded.

If he, as the God of Singing, remained unmoved in his Kingdom of the Gods, it would be tantamount to dereliction of duty.

His reaction was far stronger than Gaven had anticipated.

Not only did he descend personally, but he also directly elevated a Chosen on the spot, because Regina was close by his side, emanating an aura similar to Zalanda’s, a sign of receiving Divine Nature Blessing.

Perhaps the God of Singing saw great potential in Regina.

In Felen, the status of God’s Chosen is a unique one.

It means the selected have established an extremely intimate connection with a deity.

The most direct manifestation is that, through the infusion of Divine Power, the Chosen receive strong Special Abilities, a template of the Chosen.

Furthermore, the Chosen gain the ability to communicate directly with the deity.

Most Chosen are powerful priests of the gods, but not exclusively so.

Some non-priests, if they can glorify the gods, especially those related to their divine roles, or if a deity sees potential in someone to honor their divine nature or faith, might also be granted the status of Chosen.

Zalanda belonged to this category, and now Regina did too, and both were related to Gaven.

Despite being the instigator, why not bestow the status of Chosen upon himself?

Even though Gaven was not particularly jealous, he could not help but criticize in his heart.

A single occurrence could be dismissed as coincidence or a deity being momentarily blind, but twice was not so simple.

Could it be that the gods had some prejudice or grievance against him?

"Are you wondering why the status of Chosen was given to Regina, not to you?" Miliel seemed to see through Gaven’s thoughts.

It was not just seeming, but absolute certainty.

The voice of the God of Singing, similar to Regina’s not in sound but in its rich, singing quality, said,

Since his thoughts were seen through, there was no need for Gaven to hide them any longer. He nodded and said, "Indeed, a bit."

"The songs might have been provided by you, but the true singer was Regina. Without her, those songs would forever remain dead thoughts in your mind. Granting the status of Chosen is not a one-sided matter; you can obtain it only when you do something that matches this glory.

The most important point, are you willing to serve me wholeheartedly and make me your patron deity?" The God of Singing asked profoundly toward the end.

It seemed certain that Gaven would reject this proposition.

"I see, I have learned," Gaven did not directly answer this question.

Directly rejecting a deity was not a wise choice.

The God of Singing did not press further on this matter, but with a characteristic lament said, "I need all your memories related to these songs, in the form of a permanent extraction, of course, I will offer you something appropriate in return."

"What kind of compensation?" Gaven didn’t nod right away,

but his response already indicated he had made a choice in his mind.

To him, the greatest value of these ideas in his mind was to contribute them to those who could use them and obtain the corresponding benefits.

In this world, there was no more suitable trading partner than the God of Singing — the more powerful deities would not be interested, as it was not aligned with their divine duties.

"Singing, dancing, playing instruments, you can choose any one, and I can grant you the corresponding ability, of a very high level, like that of a Legendary Bard, as you people would say," the God of Singing offered options naturally related to his own divine duties.

Gaven shook his head without hesitating, "These abilities are of no use to me. I’m not a bard, and even if I had the skills of a Legendary Bard, it would be hard to invoke magic power, especially when it comes to memories of those songs that would then be permanently extracted; I couldn’t play them anymore, so of what use would they be to me?"

Many of a bard’s abilities are predicated on the bard’s Professional Level.

Without a corresponding bard’s Professional Level, his skill, however high, would only be as much an entertainment as it was on Earth, less practical than even a Bard Apprentice.

"In that case, I’ll create a Magic Item with the songs I extract from your memories as compensation," said the God of Singing, unruffled, "but this Magic Item will not be under my control. Its form depends on the resonance and reverberations those songs create in their native lands..."
