I
I focus on the “Infinite Book” and analyze the melody of the magic circle even more deeply. Mathematical formulas and music fuse together, forming complex patterns. I feel as though the voice of the wind spirit is faintly resonating with the melody. I sense that resonance and fine-tune the melody. Then, one of the lines in the magic circle begins to pulsate as if it were alive. That line seems to carry a special energy, distinct from the others. I focus on that line and continue my analysis. Eventually, I realize that this line controls the flow of energy throughout the entire magic circle. I take out the Harp of Atlantis and begin to play the melody corresponding to that line. The harp’s tones echo through the hall, resonating with the magic circle’s energy. Then, the entire magic circle begins to emit a dazzling light, and the door slowly begins to open. As the door opens, a passageway leading further inward appears before me. The passage is narrower than the one before, and the walls are adorned with even more intricate murals. The murals seem to depict the history of the Wind Spirit’s birth, the prosperity of the City of Winds, and the construction of the temple. I proceed down the passage, carefully observing the murals. The murals convey the power of the wind spirits and the deep faith of the people of the City of Winds. I touch the murals, trying to sense their energy. After walking for a while, I emerge into another hall. This hall is larger than the previous one, with a ceiling so high it seems to reach all the way to the sky. Standing in the center of the hall is a massive statue of a wind spirit. The statue stands with its arms outstretched, as if catching the wind. At the statue’s feet lies a stone monument inscribed with ancient characters. I approach the monument and attempt to decipher the text. I open the “Book of Infinity” and try to decipher the ancient script. After a while, I understand the meaning of the characters carved into the monument. It describes a trial set by the King of the Wind Spirits. It states that those who overcome the trial will be granted the power of the King of the Wind Spirits. I finish reading the stone monument and look up at the statue of the Wind Spirit. The statue seems to be quietly looking down at me. I take a deep breath and resolve to take on the trial. At that moment, a strong wind sweeps through the hall once more. The wind swirls around the stone monument, as if testing me. I raise the Lyre of Atlantis and begin to play a melody in honor of the Wind Spirit. The sound of the lyre echoes through the hall, calming the Wind Spirit. Gradually, the wind subsides and eventually stops. The statue of the Wind Spirit gazes quietly at me. I take a step forward and accept the trial of the King of the Wind Spirits.
