“Yin Zhu, do you think I still have a chance to switch to being a Divine Music Master?”
“I’m afraid not, you are too old.
A Divine Music Master needs to start training from a young age.
And besides, are you willing to give up your current magic cultivation?
My Grandpa Qin has said that as long as you cultivate any magic department to the top level, the strength is not much different.
You should still practice your own magic.”
Finally, Milan City was already in sight, and Xiang Luan gave the order, manding the team to temporarily stop to rest.
Under the protection of the soldiers of the Milan Empire, Xiang Luan gathered the students of the Milan Magic Martial Academy together.
Xiang Luan first glanced at Ye Yinzhu, who stood at the front and smiled slightly, saying, “Gathering everyone together is for one reason.
During this time in Konya City, each of you has performed exceptionally well.
It is the collective effort of everyone that prevented the Beastmen from crossing the Burna Mountain Range.
You all saved the Priya Plains of the empire.
You are all heroes of Milan, and we will soon be back in Milan City.
Rest assured, Feschera and I will definitely report your merits to the Emperor and reward your services.”
As soon as she said this, a cheer erupted.
Many of these students were young people around twenty years old, with quite a few ing from noble families.
For them, receiving praise from the Imperial Princess was the highest honor, let alone the rewards to e later.
Receiving such honors during their academy years meant that this halo would follow them forever, whether they joined the army or did something else after graduation.
Xiang Luan raised her hands, and everyone immediately quieted down.
“Your efforts will not be overlooked.
But here, I have another request for all of you.
Since Feschera and I came to the academy to learn, we don’t want any special treatment and hope to gain more knowledge just like the other students.
Due to the urgency, our identities have been revealed.
However, I hope you all can keep this secret for us.
Once we return to the academy, our identities will remain as before, just like all of you, members of the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy.”
“I, Nesta, with the honor of the Heavy Cavalry, swear to keep the secret and never reveal it,” Nesta lifted his Dragon Spear, and his sonorous and forceful voice fully demonstrated the seriousness of his promise.
Many people quickly reacted, and some even regretted not being the first to speak out—who wouldn’t want to leave a good impression on the future Emperor of the Empire?
In no time, oaths of secrecy started to resound everywhere.
Only Ye Yinzhu and Sura remained silent.
Roland seized the opportunity, “Ye Yinzhu, if you don’t swear to keep the secret, are you planning on revealing the identities of the Princess and Prince after returning?”
Ye Yinzhu said, “A vow is just a formality.
If I promise not to reveal it, why bother with such trouble?”
Sura nodded and succinctly said, “Same for me.”
Xiang Luan smiled slightly and said, “I trust you all.
Alright, go and rest.
After we set out again, we will be home.”
“Yin Zhu.” Ye Yinzhu was just about to go rest with Sura when he felt someone tug at his clothes.
Turning around, he saw Ma Liang giving him a look, “Let’s talk over there.”
“Okay.” Ye Yinzhu told Sura and then followed Ma Liang to a secluded spot by the road to sit down.
“Ma Liang, do you have something to tell me?” Ye Yinzhu asked curiously.
Ma Liang looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then lowered his voice and said, “Yin Zhu, this time you have made great contributions to the Milan Empire.
Once we return to Milan City, the Emperor of the Milan Empire will surely reward you greatly.
Remember, if he invites you to join the citizenship of the Milan Empire, you must accept.”
“Why?
I am a person from the Arcadia Kingdom, why should I join the Milan Empire?
Just for more rewards?” A trace of dissatisfaction flickered in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes.
Ma Liang’s eyes gleamed with a fervent light, “Yin Zhu, for us Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, this may be an opportunity.
As part of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, you inherently do not belong to any Kingdom of the Continent, and nationality means nothing to us.
I think, as long as you agree to join the Country of Milan, with the merits you have established this time, you should at least be granted some fiefdom.”
Ye Yinzhu furrowed his brow and said, “I don’t quite understand.
Why do our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans not belong to any Kingdom?”
Ma Liang hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, “Since your teacher has not told you, I cannot say too much.
All I can say is that our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans need a place of our own to settle and establish ourselves.
The situation is slightly better for the top four of our clans—Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting—as the number of people is quite small.
The magic we practice requires extremely high talent; only those who inherit the sect’s secret treasures can truly carry on our four clans’ magic.
Therefore, over the years, it has mostly been a single-line succession, but the sect masters of the top four are all peerless powerhouses in the Magic Realm.
On the other hand, the clans of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum have much larger populations.
Currently, we, the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, can only live hidden in the shadows.
If we can get a piece of land in the strongest Kingdom of the Continent, even if it’s a very small place, we can also recuperate and recover!”
Ye Yinzhu pondered and said, “What you mean is, we Eight Eastern Dragon Clans do not belong to any Kingdom.”
Nodding, Ma Liang looked deeply at Ye Yinzhu, and he suddenly realized that this successor of the Zither Sect might not be as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said, “Alright then.” Having said that, he stood up and walked towards Sura.
Ma Liang failed to notice the touch of melancholy and determination that had appeared on Ye Yinzhu’s face.
Since leaving the blue sky and sea, Ye Yinzhu hadn’t initially felt any disfort, but as he delved deeper into society, and as days went by, he came to understand more about the outside world and realized how little he knew.
It seemed as though everyone had their own secrets and the Continent was full of many strange things with him seemingly the only one ignorant of them.
This sensation of a blank mind made Ye Yinzhu feel extremely unfortable.
Now, he was filled with a desire for knowledge about the entire Continent.
As he turned to leave, he had secretly decided that once he returned to the Academy, he would integrate into society as quickly as possible and learn all the knowledge he needed.
Although sixteen years of the Pure Qinxin allowed him to gain a lot, at the same time, he also lost a lot.
It was time to reclaim what had been lost.
As everyone set out again, approaching Milan City, an order from the Emperor of the Milan Empire, Silvio, had already arrived.
It manded Imperial Princess Xiang Luan, Imperial Prince Feschera, Oliveira, and Ye Yinzhu to enter the Imperial Palace immediately.
The remaining Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy Students were to return to the Academy.
Under the protection of a small squad of Dragon Cavalry, Ye Yinzhu and the others entered Milan City and headed straight for the Imperial Palace in the inner city.
Inside the carriage, Feschera glanced at the serene Ye Yinzhu by his side and asked curiously, “Idol, aren’t you a bit nervous?”
Ye Yinzhu looked puzzled and said, “Why should I be nervous?”
Feschera chuckled and said, “You have acplished a great feat this time, and Father Emperor doesn’t even know how he will reward you yet.
Aren’t you looking forward to it at all?
The Idol is really the Idol, treating fame and fortune as if they are nothing!”
Ye Yinzhu replied irritably, “How many times have I told you not to call me Idol?”
Xiang Luan covered her mouth with her hand and laughed lightly, “Our little child prodigy from the Divine Music Department is not so easily swayed.
I guess Father Emperor will certainly grant him some official title or nobility.
But the reward won’t be too big; after all, the loss of those five hundred Falcon Dragons must have driven Father Emperor crazy.”
Oliveira expressed some concern, “I’m worried about how His Majesty will deal with my two brothers.
Prince and Princess, when the time es, I hope you will…”
Feschera patted Oliveira on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, senior.
Your Zi Luolan Family is a pillar of the Empire.
With Father Emperor’s shrewdness, they shouldn’t be too hard on them.”
The Imperial Palace of the Milan Empire is said to be the most distinctive among the eight Kingdoms of the Continent, with the main buildings constructed using red, black, and white materials.
Not only is the atmosphere magnificent, but there is also a sense of overbearing power.
The inner city is extremely large, equivalent to a quarter of the entire outer city, with five thousand Royal Guards stationed all year round.
Among these guards are many strong individuals; the defensive Magic Formations in the inner city, reinforced by many powerful mages, can withstand attacks from Zi rank Forbidden Curses, making the defenses of the inner city as solid as a barrel and as formidable as a parison to the mighty Dragon City.
The Dragon Cavalry squad escorted Ye Yinzhu and the other three to the gates of the Imperial Palace and then handed over the guarding duties to the Imperial Guards.
Since it was the carriage of the Prince and Princess, the four of them did not need to dismount and were driven straight to the inner court of the Royal Family, where the Milan Grand Hall, where the Empire’s officials held discussions, was located.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.
As the emblematic structure of the entire Milan Empire, the red and black striped flags fluttered in the wind, the Grand Hall soared over thirty meters high, and the sturdy columns were adorned with exquisite carvings.
At the very center of the Grand Hall’s roof, an emblem, enlarged countless times and symbolizing the Milan Royal Family’s Red Cross Shield Emblem, glistened in the sunlight with a brilliance akin to rubies.
Standing in front of the hall were twenty Golden Hammer Warriors, each over two meters tall, wielding long-handled golden hammers that looked remarkably heavy just by their appearance.
Feschera quietly informed Ye Yinzhu that these Golden Hammer Warriors were all of Blue rank strength.
Although not numerous, they definitely were the cream of the crop within the Royal Guard.
“Let’s go inside,” Xiang Luan nodded at Ye Yinzhu and took the lead with Feschera, acpanied by Oliveira and Ye Yinzhu into the highest administrative residence of the Milan Empire.
Inside the Milan Grand Hall, everything was resplendent with glittering decorations that overwhelmed Ye Yinzhu’s vision.
However, the atmosphere here was somewhat tense, which made him feel unfortable.
On both sides of the Grand Hall stood a Golden Hammer Warrior every five meters.
Over a hundred courtiers stood in front of the warriors, with the left side displaying civil officials and the right militaristic generals.
