205: Chapter 58 Ensemble (Part 1) 205: Chapter 58 Ensemble (Part 1) Ye Yinzhu said, “Now I understand why those Behemoth Beasts obey your mands and even address you as Emperor Zi.
When this semester ends, I won’t return to the blue sky and sea.
With four months of time, we should be able to achieve something in the Northernmost Wilderness.”
Zi replied, “Let’s set a period of four months.
If within four months we still can’t find a trace of them, I can give up.
At that time, we’ll think of other methods.
By the way, Yinzhu, have you noticed that your zither music seems to have a special effect on Magical Beasts?
This has already been verified with our Behemoths.
My Behemoth brothers are all looking forward to hearing you play the zither again.”
Ye Yinzhu thoughtfully said, “I’ve also noticed this.
Perhaps it’s because the hearts of Magical Beasts are more simple, and they are more easily affected by the emotions in the music, even though they don’t understand the melodies, but their sensitivity to emotion is still more astute than that of humans.”
Zi shook his head and said, “No, it’s not that simple.
If we’re talking about zither artistry, although yours is already not bad, you still can’t pare to your teacher Qin Shang.
But I have heard his playing, and it elicited no response at all.
Yet your music, even when it was just the unpolished practice at the beginning, could help enhance my strength to a certain extent.
Perhaps, it’s because you’re cultivating the Pure Qinxin.
I remember Grandpa Qin saying that you’re a one in a million zither prodigy, born with an extremely strong understanding of melody.
Yinzhu, the power of an individual is ultimately finite, even me as an Amethyst Behemoth can’t face the entire Beastman Clan on my own.
If you are truly a descendant of the Eastern Dragon Empire, then with your current excellence, you’re bound not to be mediocre in the future.
Although you’re still young, you should start to build your own power.
Since your zither music has the ability to enhance the strength of Magical Beasts, why not use it?
Any Magical Beast wishes to evolve, and using that desire, if possible, you might be able to organize a large army of Magical Beasts.”
Upon hearing Zi’s words, Ye Yinzhu felt somewhat lost; after all, his experience in society was still brief, and while he understood what Zi meant by building his own strength, his desire to do so wasn’t very strong.
Zi naturally saw the confusion in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes and spoke in a deep voice, “Yinzhu, you must be clear on one thing.
If you truly are a descendant of the Eastern Dragon Empire, then your enemies are all the human nations on the Ryuzakinus Continent.
The reason why your parents and teacher didn’t tell you about your origins is probably also for this reason, entirely for your safety.
The Continent has been peaceful for many years, and after thousands of years of transformation, even the descendants of the former Eastern Dragon Empire have long since integrated into various nations.
Even if there are still some real remnants, they are far from parable in strength to the current human nations.
Even if I were to bee King of the Beastman and give you full support, we would still be no match for the millennium-old power of Faran’s Seventh Tower.
Do you understand my meaning?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, “Zi, after the battle in Konya City last time, Uncle Silvio, the Emperor of the Milan Empire, rewarded me with that small city and the surrounding Burna Mountain Range.
It’s right next to the Northernmost Wilderness.
If you encounter problems on this side in the future, go there.
It’s a pity that it’s too small; otherwise, maybe I could build my own strength like you said.”
After hearing Ye Yinzhu’s words, there was a brightness in Zi’s eyes, “No, Yin Zhu, you are wrong.
I think that place is very good.
That time I forcibly broke through space to your side and subdued these clan members.
At the same time, I also made a quick observation of the terrain there.
The Burna Mountain Range is a high-altitude mountain range.
It has peaks exceeding four thousand meters, radiating in a circular pattern, and acting as a natural barrier for the Milan Empire against the Beasts of the Northernmost Wilderness from the northwest.
Although your Konya City is very small, the area of the Burna Mountain Range is far too vast.
I am afraid that it pares in size with the domain of any great noble in Milan Empire.
It is only because the Burna Mountain Range is adjacent to the Northernmost Wilderness and the cold current from the north that the climate there has bee extremely harsh, so it is not valued by people.
But have you considered that, precisely because it is in a remote location, with harsh conditions and uninhabited, it is least likely to draw attention?
Moreover, it adjoins the Northernmost Wilderness.
If one day in the future, when I unify the Beastman Clan, then we can form an even better alliance.
I believe that right now, there is hardly any place more suitable for us than Konya City.”
Ye Yinzhu hesitated for a moment, saying, “But that city is too small.
It only has a population of about twenty thousand, subsisting on hunting.
I remember very clearly the attack by the Beastman last time; if it hadn’t been for good luck, I’m afraid even a single Golden Behemoth could have easily torn through Konya City’s defenses and destroyed the entire city.”
Zi said, “The city being small is not the problem, can it not be rebuilt?”
His words gradually brightened Yin Zhu’s eyes, “I have thought about this issue as well.
The location of Konya City is in the southern part of Burna Mountain Range, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one narrow passage through the mountains, leading directly to the Priya Plains of the Milan Empire.
The current scale of Konya City is really too small.
If we could use the terrain to seal up the passage to the south of Konya City, using the mountains on both sides as barriers, then we could form a huge city within the Burna Mountain Range, similar to a basin.
However, the area of Burna Mountain Range is so vast, establishing a power within it would first require a defense of the entire mountain range.
That’s not something that can be done overnight, and the resources needed are astronomical.
Therefore, although I had once envisioned the future of Qin City, I gave it up right away.”
After contemplating for a moment, Zi said, “How about this.
Seeking Divine Beasts is but a vain and elusive task with not a great chance of success.
After we go searching for Divine Beasts and return, we’ll take some extra time, and I’ll go with you to Konya City to take a close look and think about how it should be built in the future.
The road we have to travel is still long, and there’s no need to rush.
You can also take the opportunity to set up a Teleportation Array within Konya City, making it possible for you to return to your own territory at any time.”
“Alright, let’s do that,” nodded Ye Yinzhu, his mood being somewhat solemn.
He didn’t have a good plan for his future yet, but one thing was certain: he must have strength.
Without strength, anyone could bully him.
Growing stronger was the first thing he needed to do.
As for the origins of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, he would have to ask his parents and grandpa clearly when he saw them again.
Zi said, “By the way, since you want to build your own strength, then you’ll need talents.
While we go searching for Divine Beasts this time, you can bring a few friends whom you can pletely trust.
Deep in the Northernmost Wilderness, there live many powerful Magical Beasts.
Although there are no Dragon Clan members, there are also those of rank Eight and Nine.
This time, I will take Dis and Perkins with me.
We can all transform into human form, and there’s no fear of them seeing through us; you can just say we are your friends.
Then, we can help these trustworthy friends of yours sign contracts with the Magical Beasts, not only solidifying your friendship but also increasing your strength.”
Hearing Zi’s words, Ye Yinzhu’s first thought was of Sura.
Even though Sura already possessed a Little Silver Dragon Coin, he still wanted to bring Sura with him.
In his heart, Sura was a pletely trustworthy partner without any family burdens.
As for others who could be fully trusted, they were probably only Ma Liang from the Hua Sect and Chang Hao from the Chess Sect.
Like him, they had e from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, so naturally, there would not be any problems.
The remaining classmates, although some had decent relationships with him, mostly belonged to the noble class of the Milan Empire, and their paths were bound to diverge in the future.
Moreover, who could guarantee that they would not reveal his and Zi’s secrets?
At this, Ye Yinzhu then thought of Haiyang but quickly dismissed the idea.
Deep down, he knew Haiyang was absolutely trustworthy.
However, she was, after all, Xi Duofu’s granddaughter!
“Zi, I’ll go back first.
After graduation, I’ll bring people directly here to find you,” he said.
Zi responded, “Go ahead.
I will also continue to cultivate during this time with the hope of breaking through to the rank 8 Standard Warcraft level soon.”
The Amethyst Orb activated once more, the Teleportation Array on the ground lit up, emanating a special spatial scent as it took Ye Yinzhu away.
When he returned to the dorm, the sky outside was showing the first light of dawn, almost morning.
Ye Yinzhu tiptoed back to his bedroom and sat cross-legged on his own bed.
There was still time before full daylight, and any recovery of spiritual power was beneficial.
The energy consumed by long-distance teleportation was indeed terrifying.
Fortunately, he had managed to recover some while with Zi; otherwise, the final teleportation would have drained him pletely.
Everything seemed as it had always been when dawn arrived, with Sura getting out of bed to prepare breakfast.
About half an hour before class, she woke Ye Yinzhu from his meditation.
While eating breakfast, Ye Yinzhu observed Sura and noticed that he seemed a lot quieter.
Although outwardly his emotions did not seem to show any particular change, his gaze had deepened significantly.
“Sura, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
Sura looked up at Ye Yinzhu, “What is it?”
Ye Yinzhu said, “The end-of-term exams are ing up soon, what are your plans for after the holiday?”
