Zither Emperor Chapter 174 Chapter 47 Silver Dragon City Part 3

174: Chapter 47 Silver Dragon City (Part 3) 174: Chapter 47 Silver Dragon City (Part 3) Being able to randomly transport oneself to another place is one thing, but what the Silver Dragon King, Howard, did was to tear through space and summon a person.

Naturally, this person was also a member of the Silver Dragon Clan.

This was virtually unrestricted spatial tearing.

With such power, he truly lived up to the title of the mightiest among the Magic Dragons.

It was a young man, who looked to be around the same age as Ye Yinzhu, who respectfully said, “Grand Elder, do you have any instructions for me?”

“Xing Can, take Ye Yinzhu to rest.

Then call several elders to me; I have matters to discuss with them,” Howard instructed.

The Silver Dragon named Xing Can respectfully agreed, and with a swift movement, he was already by Ye Yinzhu’s side.

Before Ye Yinzhu could react, a burst of purple light had already shrouded both of their bodies pletely.

With a flash, Ye Yinzhu felt a pain as if his body was being torn apart, instantly stimulating every part of his body.

The next moment, he and Xing Can appeared in another place.

It was another cave, but much smaller than Howard’s.

The cave was dry, but due to the lack of any shelter, it felt somewhat cold.

Without asking, it was clear that this Silver Dragon named Xing Can was also an adult.

The short-distance spatial transfer he performed just now was enough to prove his strength.

Xing Can looked at Ye Yinzhu with some curiosity, “You’re the human Li Sha mentioned, aren’t you?”

Ye Yinzhu nodded.

Xing Can said, “This is my cave; you can stay here for the time being.

Can you tell me why you came to our Silver Dragon City?

We haven’t had a human visitor for many years.”

Ye Yinzhu replied with a wry smile, “I didn’t want to e; it was your Silver Dragon City that sought me out.”

Xing Can looked at him thoughtfully and nodded, “e with me,” he said and headed further into the cave.

Under Xing Can’s lead, Ye Yinzhu quickly followed him into the cave.

Like Howard’s Dragon cave, Xing Can’s cave became more spacious the further inside they went.

Of course, pared to Howard’s, his was much smaller.

Due to the structure of the terrain, the cold wind from outside was significantly weakened after a certain amount of filtration.

Although the deepest part of the Dragon cave was not exactly warm, it was also not too cold.

Xing Can said, “You’ll be staying here for now.

Are you hungry?

I have some fruits and fish stored here.

Eat these and I’ll step out for a bit.”

Ye Yinzhu was indeed hungry.

He nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Xing Can’s temperament was clearly much better than Li Sha’s and not as icy.

Though he was more plain-looking, he gave off a very gentle vibe.

The dried fish made by the Dragon Clan reeked strongly, which Ye Yinzhu naturally could not eat, but the fruits were good enough to fill his stomach.

While eating the fruits, Ye Yinzhu gradually relaxed a bit.

It seemed that the Silver Dragons here were not too difficult to deal with.

Being in this place, he was constantly in danger.

Now, it all depended on how the Silver Dragon King, Howard, decided to deal with his issue.

On the way here with Li Sha, that feeling of powerlessness due to insufficient strength resurfaced, and Ye Yinzhu suddenly realized how much he hated the feeling of his fate being in someone else’s hands.

Xing Can returned from outside before long.

“Is the human world very exciting?” Xing Can asked.

Ye Yinzhu said, “pared to life here, the human world is naturally considered exciting.

Haven’t you ever gone out?”

Xing Can shook his head and said, “Not much.

I’ve only just e of age not too long ago.

Actually, Li Sha and I grew up together since we were young.

We both have just pleted our ing-of-age ceremonies, and this cave was recently assigned to me.” He obviously took pride in having reached adulthood.

Ye Yinzhu asked, “What are the standards for ing of age in the Silver Dragon Clan?

At what age do you consider someone an adult?”

Xing Can said, “The time it takes for our Silver Dragon Clan to reach adulthood is relatively long among the Dragon Clan, about three thousand years.

Of course, if a contract is signed with your humans at a young age, we can possess excellent growth rates just like humans.

The three thousand years can be significantly shortened, even allowing us to grow alongside humans.

Regrettably, this is not allowed by our clan’s rules.

Therefore, with very few exceptions, we all need to undergo three thousand years of tempering to reach the goal of adulthood.”

Ye Yinzhu curiously asked, “So that means there should be very few Dragon Knights with Silver Dragons as magical beast panions on the outside?”

Xing Can laughed and said, “It’s not just a few, but only one.

That is Xi Duofu from the Milan Empire.

He is also the human guest who visited our Silver Dragon City the last time you came here.”

Ye Yinzhu asked, “Why are the members of your Dragon Clan unwilling to sign contracts with humans?

As far as I know, the magical beast panion contracts do not impose many restrictions on you.”

Xing Can sighed softly and said, “Actually, many members of our clan do hope to sign contracts with your humans, especially the younger ones.

To mature earlier, what does a hundred-year contract with you humans amount to?

Spending just a few decades instead of several thousand years growing up can save so much effort!

However, the Dragon Clan has its own rules.

Dragon taming is not included in these rules.

The true giant dragons, which are the Dragon Clan of the Seven Dragon Cities, require that humans wanting to sign contracts must go through very difficult tests.

Only truly powerful individuals can gain the recognition of the giant dragons.

Of course, there are some tricks, like your humans stealing dragon eggs or receiving special permission from a Dragon City, but such cases are extremely rare.

Therefore, although the total number of the Seven Dragon Cities’ Dragon Clan is close to a thousand, there are only a few dozen Dragon Knights on the continent.

Of course, I am referring to the true Giant Dragon Knights; dragon tamers aren’t counted among these.”

Listening to Xing Can’s words, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but inwardly marvel.

There were only a few dozen Dragon Knights across the entire continent, and yet in this current class of the Milan Magic Martial Academy alone, there were already Roland and Nesta.

The Milan Magic Martial Academy truly deserved to be the Continent’s number one academy!

The Milan Empire was indeed powerful.

“Xing Can, can you tell me, why does the growth rate of your Dragon Clan change from three thousand years to just a few decades after signing a contract with humans?

This difference seems too great.”

Xing Can scratched his head and replied, “I don’t know either.

Perhaps signing a contract triggers a special reaction.

Our Silver Dragon Clan has not had a case of signing a contract at a young age for a very long time.

Even Uncle Asis signed the magical beast panion contract with Xi Duofu when he was well into his adulthood, around the age of five thousand.”

“Three thousand years vs.

several decades, your Dragon Clan is really inprehensible.

The lifespan of humans is generally only about a hundred years.

A hundred-year contract time in exchange for three thousand years of growth seems to be a worthwhile deal.”

Xing Can wholeheartedly agreed and said, “Yes!

It’s a pity that the rules of the Dragon Clan are not to be violated.

You better not mention this conversation outside; otherwise, it could bring trouble upon yourself.

Anyway, you haven’t told me yet why you came here.”

Ye Yinzhu replied with a wry smile, “It’s no secret.

I am a Divine Music Master, and it’s just because my zither music can affect your Dragon Clan, so I was brought here.” He then briefly explained his situation.

Xing Can was a very hospitable host, constantly asking Ye Yinzhu various questions, including those about the human world.

The two of them got along well, and Ye Yinzhu even thought, ‘If it were Xing Can who had e to the Milan Empire to fetch me, it would have been much better than dealing with Li Sha.’

“Xing Can, what conditions does your Silver Dragon Clan need in order to sign a contract with humans?” While chatting, Ye Yinzhu suddenly remembered the soul attachment between him and Li Sha and couldn’t help but voice the biggest doubt in his heart.

Xing Can’s expression changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, “I can’t tell you that.

It is a secret of the Dragon Clan.

Only a few Elders truly know.”

“Oh, never mind then.”

Ye Yinzhu temporarily stayed in Xing Can’s Dragon cave and felt quite fortunate as Xing Can was not difficult to get along with.

This stay lasted three days.

Through their conversations, Ye Yinzhu gained a deeper understanding of the entire Dragon Clan, learning many things that were not mentioned in books.

On the Ryuzakinus Continent, there are a total of Seven Dragon Cities.

On the surface, the Seven Dragon Cities seem to have an equal status with Faran’s Seventh Tower, but in reality, the status of the Seven Dragon Cities is actually below that of Faran’s Seventh Tower.

The disparity is easily discernible from the highest levels of power.

Among the Seven Dragon Cities, only the Black Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King, and the Golden Dragon King have reached the Ninth Rank Zi rank in strength.

The strongest among the other four Dragon Cities’ Dragon Kings, the Fire Dragon King, is merely at the Seventh Rank Zi rank.

Although the difference between the seventh and ninth ranks doesn’t seem much, it is indeed a vast gap.

After reaching the Zi rank Realm, the disparity between each rank is huge.

The seven masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower, however, all possess the powerful strength of the Ninth Rank Zi rank.

Therefore, Faran is a place that even the Seven Dragon Cities dare not offend.

Moreover, Faran’s Seventh Tower is a sacred place of faith for all human nations, where many powerful mages reside.

As long as Faran’s Seventh Tower decrees it, no nation dares to contravene it.

Three days passed, and Xing Can grew more and more fond of this new human friend, not only because Ye Yinzhu had shared many stories from the outside world but also because of Ye Yinzhu’s zither.

The Zither Sect’s Cultivation method was relatively much simpler because aside from the Sound Blade, the main Zither Magic didn’t require too much control.

Zither Magic was area-of-effect-based, which was different from most magic that was divided into single-target and multi-target.

Therefore, when practicing Zither Magic, Ye Yinzhu needed to immerse himself in playing the zither.

Using spiritual power to play the zither was to unleash the power of Zither Magic, while playing without mixing in spiritual power was the best way to cultivate.

The fusion of emotions with the music was one of the best methods to train spiritual power.

This was also why Director Nina decided to let the first-year students of the Divine Music Department try practicing it after she heard him describe emotion infusion.
