Zither Emperor Chapter 872 278

872: 278 872: 278 De la Valle was neither willing to offend Landias, nor dare to offend Milan.

For a moment, the king suddenly found himself in an awkward dilemma.

Perhaps this was the fate of a traitor.

“Greetings, Your Majesty Silvio,” de la Valle managed to say with a rigid face.

With a cold snort, Silvio said, “I am quite well.

I will always remember how the soldiers of the Milan Eastern Legion died.” After saying this, he didn’t even glance at the kings of the countries in Landias’ faction and turned to walk toward the nearby viewing platform.

“This guy is too arrogant,” Hernande furiously said, about to chase after him, but Maximo stopped him.

Maximo said coldly, “If we were the victors of this war, I fear you would be even more arrogant than him.

Since you lost, you have to bear the cost of losing.

Our ing here isn’t to confront Milan.”

The setting sun was sloping westward, the evening’s rosy clouds turning the sky a fiery red, lending a dreamlike quality to the scene.

This was particularly apparent in Faran City, with Faran’s Seventh Tower as its backdrop.

A soft light flickered, a gentle divine light shimmered in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes as he, along with the other six Tower Masters, slowly walked into the Magic Square.

Their appearance instantly became the focal point of the entire venue, all eyes turning towards them.

Today, Ye Yinzhu still wore a white Magic Robe, while the other six Tower Masters had changed into their standard colored robes.

The golden Magic Robe of Tower Master Aubrey was undoubtedly the most dazzling under the glow of the setting sun, shining with a brilliant light.

pared to his brilliant gold color, Ye Yinzhu’s pure white Divine Source Magic Robe did not attract much attention.

However, everyone in attendance knew that he was the main character today.

The people present, whether from Qin City, from Faran, or the Eight Nation Monarchs, whether they admired, envied, hated, or felt other emotions towards Ye Yinzhu, they couldn’t deny one thing—that this young man’s excellence had changed the continental situation with his emergence, almost creating a continent-sweeping storm.

Seeing Ye Yinzhu appear, the one with the most plex feelings was probably the king of Arcadia Kingdom.

In all records concerning Ye Yinzhu, it was written that he was from Arcadia Kingdom.

Even his registration at the Magic Guild was in Arcadia Kingdom.

Yet, this talent no longer belonged to Arcadia, or rather, he could no longer be simply described as a ‘talent.’

Of course, the king could no longer fantasize about him returning to his own country.

He could only think if this man had developed domestically and possessed such powerful strength, would Arcadia still be considered weak and insignificant by other countries on the continent?

“Wele everyone to Faran.

On behalf of Faran, I express sincere thanks to the monarchs of all nations,” Aubrey said as he walked to the center of the square and slowly bowed towards the viewing platform.

On the viewing platform, though divided into two groups, none dared receive Aubrey’s gesture, and they quickly stood up to return the salute to this Tower Master of Light.

Aubrey, with a smile on his face, whether it be his Magic Robe or his very being, both exuded a forting and revered holy aura,

“Today, for Faran, is an important day.”

As he spoke, Aubrey paused for a moment, his eyes revealing a bit of melancholy as if reminiscing, “Not long ago, an unfortunate event occurred in Faran.

After our detailed investigation, it was discovered that the Master of the Dark Tower, Slone, had killed his mentor, Master Phil Jackson, the previous Dark Tower Master of Faran, many years ago.

This was profoundly shocking, and it was also his instigation that led Faran to send troops against Qin City.

This was Faran’s mistake, and Faran will not overly conceal it.

Here, I, on behalf of Faran, would like to apologize to Qin City.”

As he spoke, Aubrey performed another bow that day; this time, not towards Ye Yinzhu, but towards the block where the Qin City Army was located.

His action suddenly made the Qin City Warriors somewhat mitigate their hostility against Faran.

After all, Aubrey was considered the leading figure in Faran!

“The mistake was already made.

By the time the six of us other Tower Masters arrived in Qin City, Slone had already been killed by the powerful capabilities of the Zither Emperor, Ye Yinzhu.

Only then did we discover that even though Master Phil Jackson had died, his spirit had been sealed by Slone, for such a tremendous genius of Faran—as the strongest ever—couldn’t have his spirit easily extinguished.

And Zither Emperor, Ye Yinzhu, was the inheritor of Master Phil Jackson’s spirit and his last disciple.

He killed Slone to cleanse our ranks.”

Those unfamiliar with the situation of course wouldn’t know that the timing mentioned by Aubrey was deliberately altered.

In fact, they had known these things since the time they rescued Marina.

“Slone is dead, but the seven towers of Faran cannot be without a master.

After our consultation, and considering Ye Yinzhu’s unique status, the six of us Tower Masters unanimously decided to let Ye Yinzhu inherit the position of the Dark Tower Master.

This was not only a recognition of his strength but also a mark of respect to the late Master Phil Jackson from Faran.

We believe that the master’s spirit in heaven would also want to see this scene unfold.”

Hearing Aubrey mention Phil Jackson, Ye Yinzhu’s expression immediately became stern, accepting his last ment.

If Phil Jackson’s spirit were alive, he would have also wished to bee the Master of the Dark Tower—a point Aubrey made correctly.

“Faran has not held a grand ceremony in a long time,” Aubrey continued, “We don’t have many rituals, but being a Tower Master of Faran requires passing a test.

This same test was undergone by us when we first assumed our Tower Master positions.

That is the trial of the respective treasure towers.

It’s inevitable for any Tower Master of Faran, for only by passing the test can one utilize the capability of their attribute tower to better protect Faran and maintain the ancient seals.

Yin Zhu.”

Aubrey’s gaze turned towards Ye Yinzhu and nodded to him.

Although not visible, Ye Yinzhu could naturally feel it.

Nodding slightly, the next moment, his body began to rise slowly, as if lifted by something, drifting towards the thirty-meter-high platform.

The height of thirty meters, for most present, was no trouble; many could reach it by simply mobilizing their Douqi, leaping up in one go, and Wind Attribute Mages could use the wind to fly directly.

But, to float up slowly like Ye Yinzhu, without any release of energy, was not something everyone could achieve.

The six Tower Masters of Faran watched quietly, although they already knew the oute, the actual process still made them somewhat nervous.

After all, they too had endured the painful trial when they succeeded their positions as Tower Masters, a trial that was a pure spiritual-world ordeal and not something ordinary people could endure.

Gliding onto the platform, Ye Yinzhu’s expression was calm as he sat down directly in the center of the platform.

A glimmer of light, and the ivory-colored Ancient Zither appeared on his lap.

Each monarch was allowed to bring up to ten followers, and among the ten people brought by Maximo, were a father and daughter duo, Crespo and his daughter.

Knowing that her father was following Maximo to Faran for the ceremony, Kleyena almost begged to secure this spot—not from her father, but directly from Emperor Maximo.

Perhaps it was due to Sura’s departure, but Maximo cared greatly for this goddaughter, and he had indeed agreed.

Just a moment ago, she had once again seen the man who had always lingered in her memory, and even Kleyena herself didn’t quite understand her feelings.

However, one thing was certain; the joy inside her heart was uncontrollably surging upon seeing him again.

Yet this man was the very reason her nation faced peril!

“Dad, what is the trial from the Tower about?

What is he going to do?” asked Kleyena with a plicated heart, gazing at the godlike, gracefully ascending Ye Yinzhu.

Her eyes fixed on Ye’s, subconsciously perhaps hoping he would glance at her.

But though his eyes shone as brightly as when she first met him, he seemed still to see her not.

Crespo whispered, “Don’t talk, this moment is of utmost importance to Faran.

As for what needs to be done, I don’t understand either.

It’s said that the seven towers of Faran each possess their own magic power, also being the core of Faran, the seven Tower Masters are actually the guardians of the towers, naturally requiring the affiliated tower’s approval.

What this approval process involves, I do not know, and likely neither does the emperor, since this is the first time the succession ceremony of a Tower Master is being publicly disclosed in hundreds of years of Faran’s history.

It seems Ye Yinzhu’s capabilities have improved a lot pared to last time at our Landias.

Ah, why isn’t such a talent from our own country?”

Kleyena frowned, “No, it’s not that he isn’t from our Landias, it’s that we never tried to win him over!

Isn’t the princess his wife?

With that relationship, shouldn’t it be possible for us to turn him from an enemy into a friend?

The Milan Empire doesn’t have a princess as his wife, right?”
