Zither Emperor Chapter 657 Chapter 207 Sura I'm Here Part 2_1

657: Chapter 207 Sura, I’m Here (Part 2)_1 657: Chapter 207 Sura, I’m Here (Part 2)_1 But one thing was the same, and that was the bustle.

The streets were bustling with endless streams of people, and almost every shop glimpsed was filled with customers.

“His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, what shall we do next?” Glacis asked.

His gaze still drifted towards the direction of the city gate, clearly a bit unsatisfied.

As a Divine Beast, having to avoid a rank Nine Beast was somewhat hard for him to accept.

Ye Yinzhu said, “First, let’s find a place to stay and grab something to eat.

Then I’ll go find out more about the situation of the Literary and Martial Arts petition.”

“Eat?

Great, that’s wonderful.” Upon hearing about eating, the slight displeasure Glacis had felt immediately evaporated.

He chuckled, with an eager expression that was only missing drool.

Zi shook her head helplessly.

This guy was really shaming our Beastman Clan Divine Beasts.

As they walked, Ye Yinzhu carefully observed the passersby and noticed that besides the civilians of the Landias Empire, there were many others in different attire.

Although he did not know much about the customs of the various kingdoms, he could tell that these people did not belong to Landias.

Moreover, these individuals were mostly young, evidently here to participate in the Literary and Martial Arts petition.

Considering the situation of the continent, the Landias Empire now had four allied kingdoms: aside from the negligible Arcadia Kingdom, there were the skilled archers of Polly’s Kingdom, the Bo Pang Kingdom which ranked third on the continent, and the Flore Empire which had been dealt a terrible hand by Ye Yinzhu himself.

He even spotted some young people dressed in Acadia’s style, which was somewhat surprising.

But it also further proved the influence of the Landias Empire’s Literary and Martial Arts petition.

“Look, a beauty!” Someone in the street whispered excitedly, and the gaze of many passersby focused in one direction.

Hearing the word “beauty,” Ye Yinzhu subconsciously looked that way, not out of temptation for beauties.

It would be wonderful if he could encounter Sura in the streets of Landias City.

However, Ye Yinzhu was soon disappointed.

The woman being exclaimed over by the passersby was a tall young girl.

She seemed to be around twenty, wearing a long dress of deep blue, her light blue hair cascading down her back, and a slender sword hung at her waist, adding a touch of heroism to her allure.

It was undeniable that this young girl was indeed beautiful, but pared to Sura, there was a definite gap.

What caught Ye Yinzhu’s attention though, were her profound eyes.

The sky-blue pupils looked very clear and did not fluctuate with the calls of the passersby.

The clarity contained depth, giving off a special feeling, as if it were the soul that was pulling at him.

This was a very smart girl, Ye Yinzhu deduced in his heart.

Through his cultivation in Undead Magic, his understanding of the spirit had bee much clearer than before.

Without extremely high intelligence, it was impossible to have such eyes.

Four guards followed the young girl, all clad in dark blue Armor.

The weather on the continent was already heating up, and Landias was in the south, but these four guards showed no signs of being bothered by the heat.

Their movements subtly protected the girl from all sides, showing they were well-trained warriors.

Surrounded by the guards, the girl entered a luxurious hotel on the broad street and disappeared from view.

“His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, stop looking.

She has already gone inside.

By the way, she doesn’t seem as beautiful as the Ocean Queen,” chuckled Glacis.

Although it wasn’t his first time in a big city, being this relaxed was a first for him.

His eyes darted everywhere, finding everything around him novel.

If it weren’t for the restraint of Ye Yinzhu and Zi, he might have already run off to who knows where.

Ye Yinzhu said irritably, “Nobody would think you’re mute if you didn’t speak.

Let’s go, we’ll stay at that hotel.”

Glacis muttered to himself, “Chasing her all the way to the hotel, huh.”

Of course, Ye Yinzhu didn’t choose this hotel because of the girl, but because it was luxurious enough.

Since elites from various kingdoms were here for the Literary and Martial Arts petition, such high-end hotels were obviously their preferred places of residence.

It was in such places that it was easier to learn about the situation of the petition and some information about the participants from the different kingdoms.

The hotel was five stories tall, and its luxury could even rival the Golden Life in Milan City.

At the entrance, there were as many as twelve greeters, all in light blue formal long dresses.

Blue and black were the national colors of the Landias Empire, just as red and white were for Milan.

“Sir, are you here to stay or eat?” Seeing Ye Yinzhu and his party approaching, one of the greeter girls came up to ask.

Ye Yinzhu replied, “We’re staying.”

The greeter girl showed a sweet smile, “Please e this way,” and led them straight into the hotel.

Without much interest in admiring the luxurious and elegant decorations inside the hotel, Ye Yinzhu entered the lobby, and from the corner of his eye, he happened to see the same young girl who had entered earlier.

She was sitting in the lobby’s bar, conversing with another woman, with her four guards standing behind her seat.

The girl talking to the one in the blue dress was facing away from Ye Yinzhu and his party, so her face was not visible.

She wore a white long dress, her golden hair spreading down her back, exuding a somewhat strange aura that made Ye Yinzhu feel somewhat familiar.

“I’m sorry, sir, we only have two Imperial Suites left,” the receptionist said apologetically to Ye Yinzhu and his group after consulting with the front desk staff.

Although Ye Yinzhu looked like a mage, he didn’t wear a rank badge on his chest, and given his young age, he didn’t seem like any advanced-rank mage.

Adding to that, his three “followers” dressed plainly, so the worldly-wise receptionist girl did not think they would choose the Imperial Suites.

“Okay, we’ll take both,” Ye Yinzhu agreed without a second thought.

“Glacis, you share one with Brother Ming, and Zi is with me in the other.”

The receptionist paused, then said, “Respected mage sir, the price for our Imperial Suites is three thousand Gold Coins per night.”

Actually, this place, though luxurious, usually charged around fifteen hundred Gold Coins for an Imperial Suite, but given the current Martial Arts petition, with elites from various kingdoms gathering, it would be abnormal for the hotel not to seize the chance to make a profit by quietly doubling the price.

Ye Yinzhu casually threw a bag onto the counter, “This is our advance payment for the rooms, please hurry.”

The staff at the front desk opened the delicate little leather bag and couldn’t help but let out a low gasp of surprise, for the inconspicuous little bag was filled to the brim with Ruby Currency.

The Ruby Coins were only one-fifth the size of Gold Coins.

Although the bag wasn’t large, it contained upwards of a thousand Ruby Coins.

When Ye Yinzhu first came to register at Milan Magic Martial Academy, Haiyang had used a single Ruby Coin to settle his surroundings.

The Ruby Currency exchange rate was one to one hundred with Gold Coins and was considered a higher form of currency generally used only by nobles.

A thousand Ruby Coins amounted to a hundred thousand Gold Coins.

Even if they needed six thousand Gold Coins per day for the two top-tier Imperial Suites, the thousand Ruby Coins would be enough for Ye Yinzhu and his group to stay for more than ten days.

“Right away, I’ll process this for you,” the receptionist’s gaze towards Ye Yinzhu changed obviously, being denser with soft solicitude and even a trace of eagerness.

A person who could casually throw out a thousand Ruby Coins would never be ordinary; even among the continent’s kingdoms, only the wealthiest nobles could afford such extravagance.

Moreover, Ye Yinzhu looked young, and even behind a mask, his features were still handsome, plus his elegant and noble demeanor undeniably held charm for the ladies.

Unfortunately, Ye Yinzhu paid no attention to the receptionist girl.

While waiting for the check-in procedure, he expanded his hearing, reaching out towards the direction of the two girls chatting in a distant bar.

However, to Ye Yinzhu’s disappointment, around the bodies of the two girls there was an invisible layer of energy that pletely contained their voices, making them inaudible.

This discovery also made Ye Yinzhu inwardly startled, as such untraceable blocking could only be done by someone with at least Green rank power or higher.

Clearly, these two girls were not ordinary.

“Hurry up and register for me.

I want an Imperial Suite,” a deep, pleasant, yet unquestionably authoritative voice demanded.

Glacis’s voice reached Ye Yinzhu’s ears, “Is it him?”

Ye Yinzhu turned to look and saw a tall, red-haired man approaching them.

Beside him was another man of similar age, though not as handsome and more rugged looking, and even taller than the armored red-haired man.

Over two and a half meters tall, the broad shoulders appeared extremely solid, and the scarlet cape exuded a fierce air.

The leading man was the Fire Cloud Lion Knight they had seen at the city gates.

Perhaps others couldn’t tell the extraordinary height of the person following him, but who were Ye Yinzhu and his panions?

Just one glance was enough for them to identify that the exceptionally tall fellow was the Advanced rank Nine Beast, Fire Cloud Lion that the Fire Cloud Lion Knight had been riding before.

Upon reaching rank Nine, a magical beast could transform into human form, but this Fire Cloud Lion seemed to have no intention of concealing its aura.

In terms of presence, although there were only two newers, they were much stronger than Ye Yinzhu and his group.

“I’m truly sorry, sir, but our last two Imperial Suites were just booked by these four gentlemen.”

Hearing what the staff said, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but frown deeply.

Was this not making trouble out of nothing?

For a high-class hotel, the staff’s professionalism was truly lacking.
