Chapter 655 Let me sleep peacefully.
"By the way, I've never asked, what is this drum used for?"
Hearing Xu Ning's question, Na Xianzhu said with a wry smile, "Didn't you hear what I said? I already said it was made for the retinue of Baersong, so naturally it's to awaken it and then connect with it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning turned to Silsa, who had been silent for a long time.
"Could the awakening he mentioned be... exactly the Rasharu we're looking for?"
Sluza said somewhat dejectedly, "If it's not her, then who else could it be? That's why I said it wouldn't be that easy. But actually, I have other ideas, but since we've got all the drums ready, let's get started quickly."
Xu Ning stood up, patted Nasenjuna on the shoulder, and laughed, "You really should thank us. If we hadn't brought this drum, we wouldn't have been able to wake Rasharu today. If we hadn't woken her up, Slusa wouldn't have been able to get the flower crown, and without the flower crown, we wouldn't have been able to extinguish the Heavenly Phenomenon of Burning Truth..."
Nashenzhuna smiled wryly, "Actually, if our elder Ayadwa hadn't recklessly abandoned the important task of finding the drum and run off to Sumeru City to become a light novel writer, based on his research on this place, we probably would have already obtained the drum and awakened Basun's retinue. Fortunately, luck is still on our side..."
Xu Ning didn't know why, but whenever he heard the word "light novelist," he immediately thought of Inazuma, the Yae-no-miya-sama, whose title was unclear.
However, according to what Nasuna said, the person who switched from the Kyorondan to light novels was an old man. He probably wasn't bewitched by Yaegami.
Naxian Zhuna led the group to a stone wall.
"This is the drum score. Write it down, place the Kurikaku in its place, and then play according to the score to awaken that being. Now, it's my turn..."
As Nassenjuna was speaking, Slusa suddenly said, "Let Sora play the music to awaken Rasaru. At least they told me on the way that he helped Lanalo play more than once in the forest of Lanalo. Compared to that, just playing the drums should be no problem at all."
Kong didn't refuse. In the process of interacting with Lannaros who liked to talk about music, he really learned a lot about music.
"Alright, then you go ahead. I'll stay here and focus on recording your heroic deeds, then write them into poems!"
Xu Ning was completely clueless about playing music, so he simply sat down.
Sora and Paimon seemed quite interested in these ritualistic activities, and following Nassenjuna's instructions, they began to beat the drums in sequence.
The drums thundered, as deafening as thunder in a clear sky.
Amidst the reverberation of the drumbeats, Xu Ning quietly reflected on the day's events.
There are too many mysteries surrounding this place, but it seems that there is an invisible thread that strings these mysteries together one by one. If I want to solve these mysteries, I must find the furthest and most fundamental thread.
Another drum was struck, and the sounds of the drums overlapped, making the sound even more grand and solemn, and naturally, the sound grew louder and louder.
"Ah...uh...hoo..."
It sounded like a huge yawn.
Nassenjuna exclaimed excitedly, "The family of Balsun has answered our call!"
"It's so noisy, you humans! I can't sleep in peace!"
Although the rebuke was not particularly sharp, and even somewhat lazy, it immediately choked Zhu Na's joy.
Sora was also a little flustered. "I played the piece very carefully according to the sheet music, and I didn't make a single mistake. After all, my musical sense has already been acknowledged by Lanaro..."
Xu Ning comforted Kong, saying, "It's not your fault. You played very well. There might be an error in the recording. This flower spirit might not be a flower spirit who likes music."
Flower Spirit, who slowly flew out from the roots of the giant tree, rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"Who likes that kind of noisy environment? Only a quiet and peaceful environment is the best place to sleep!"
“I even threw these drums far away in different places before going to bed, just to avoid making noise, and you guys still went out of your way to find them again…”
"No, no, no, that's not right. The records say that the drum was made because the Flower Spirit liked it..."
Nassenju frantically rummaged through her pockets, “That’s exactly what the Corrections Group’s documents and records say, and I even showed it to Lady Slusa, who never raised any objections in the past…”
Slusa said slowly, "Rasaru has just been sleeping for too long and has forgotten the significance of these Kurikan drums."
"The purpose of dispersing these drums in other places is, of course, to select candidates for the trials. Those who cannot even do such a small thing are naturally not worthy of assisting me in accomplishing this great undertaking."
Xu Ning looked at the obviously stunned Zhu Na and said with a hint of schadenfreude.
"As the saying goes, it's better to have no books than to believe everything in them. If you can't find a drum, you can try a thunderclap instead. Speaking of which, if you throw a few dozen thunderclaps like my brother did, it should wake him up."
Slusa nodded in agreement upon hearing Xu Ning's words, "I was originally thinking that if drumming didn't work, I would use this method to wake her up."
Na Xianzhu said in despair, "Why didn't you say so sooner? Do you know how much I suffered to collect all these drums? If I had known, I should have told you ten years ago..."
Slusa, eager to take Rasharu back to report and change into her own flower crown, said somewhat impatiently, "I already said, it was mainly to see if you had the ability. It seems you're quite qualified, although you're still not as quick-witted as me, the one who sings the praises of the Lord."
Xu Ning glanced sideways.
Wow, this stubborn, suicidal idiot is calling others slow-witted!
Stimulated by Slusa's words, Nassun's breath hitched, and even her aura became unstable.
Xu Ning was closest to him. He raised his gourd, took a sip of wine, and looked at Xian Zhu indifferently.
Kong clearly sensed something, but when he saw Brother Xu drinking with Xian Zhu, he knew that his brother had also sensed it.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Na finally calmed down a bit.
"I... I still have some materials needed for the later ceremonies at the camp. I'll go and organize them. After you get the flower crowns, come find me at the camp."
After saying that, he left looking exhausted.
Paimon watched his forlorn, pitiful figure as he walked away, and said with deep sympathy, "He looks so pathetic. He worked so hard for so long on something that shouldn't have required any effort..."
