Chapter 24 – Zither of Divinity (II)
—————————————————————-
Although it merely brushed past him without a single touch, that momentary iciness caused Ye Yin Zhu’s whole body to tremble faintly. The iciness of the dagger brimmed with a frigid feeling of death. Could it be that the large Amethyst Sword was repelling it? When he turned back to inspect the large Amethyst Sword, he sensed from the sword’s blade the feeling of a monarch overlooking his realm. Yes, it was as if a monarch was overlooking his realm.
“Yin Zhu, what’s wrong?” Ma Liang and Nesta rushed up at nearly the same time. Ye Yin Zhu didn’t bother covering up the truth and explained what had happened just now. The two couldn’t help but be astonished.
Ma Liang said, “This dagger is pretty good. I like it. It’s a pity that I’m not a warrior. As for this gigantic sword, I’m underwhelmed. Even if it is better, what can you even do with it? Yin Zhu, you want such good things!”
Ye Yin Zhu smiled slightly and said, “My choices won’t change. No matter what you say, I like them very much. Well, the two of you can go find your selections. This dagger and gigantic sword are mine. Anyway, according to Nesta’s temperament, you also won’t use this dagger. Have I spoken incorrectly?”
Nesta laughed out loud. “You understand me. I have already chosen my reward. It’s over there; let me show it to you.” Finished speaking, he immediately ran off, full of joy and expectations.
Ma Liang also returned to digging through the treasures while Ye Yin Zhu began to look everywhere in the treasury.
Minutes pa.s.sed by. Soon, the hour deadline would arrive, yet Ye Yin Zhu still hadn’t chosen his third reward. He had explored the entire treasury and had yet to find traces of a zither.Furthermore, for some unknown reason, he couldn’t find any magic items, weapons, or armor that could satisfy him after he had discovered the black dagger and large Amethyst Sword. Or rather, nothing else interested him.
“There are so many good things here. It’s a pity I can only choose two items. Yin Zhu, have you not finished choosing?” Ma Liang asked Ye Yin Zhu.
“Not yet, I still need to choose one more item, but I don’t know what to choose. I want a zither, but there doesn’t seem to be one.”
Ma Liang said, “Maybe you just haven’t found it yet. I think there are too many things here. Just now, I was also searching for some musical instruments, but how come I couldn’t find any zithers?” After he said this, he lowered his voice. “Could it be that your Zither Sect doesn’t have a special method to locate zithers?”
Hearing this inquiry, Ye Yin Zhu’s clear eyes suddenly brightened. ‘That’s right! How could I forget about that method?’
With this thought, he immediately moved, summoning the Moon and Tides’ Clear Brilliance Zither from his s.p.a.ce ring. Hugging it to his chest with his left hand, Ye Yin Zhu’s right hand lightly caressed the zither. Light yellow magic quietly emerged, encompa.s.sing the four fingers of his right hand. His fingers streaked across the strings. A low hum echoed out.
The treasury was a sealed room, and the echoing zither note immediately reverberated throughout the entire area. After the zither note resonated everywhere, Ye Yin Zhu pressed his right hand down on the strings, cutting off the lingering sound while listening carefully and concentrating his spiritual force.
The zither note resonated throughout the treasury. All of a sudden, Yin Zhu opened his eyes in delight and quickly walked towards a direction.
