496 You Are Asking For… (1/2)
Half an hour later, Ye Qingxuan sat on the stairs outside the basement. In front of him, there was a closed door.
He was in the Sforza Family's underground palace. This palace was heavily guarded and well built. The door of the palace, of course, was also specially made as well. It was two meters thick and would not make any sound while being opened or closed. Besides, the wall was excellent soundproofing.
”How desolate this place is.”
Ye Qingxuan was sitting outside the door and smoking. He was not sure if there was someone screaming behind the door, since the sound of it was too weak.
He could only hear the sound of a flute echoing in the underground palace.
It was Lola who was playing the flute. All the guards in the underground palace had been bewitched by the sound of it. They stood in a line and walked out of the room.
Ye Qingxuan had no idea what was happening behind the door. He could see the sticky blood continually oozing out from beneath the door.
The blood flowed along the ground away from the door and down to the sewer.
Ye Qingxuan put out his cigarette and looked at himself.
Against the dim yellow light, he was wearing a strange long coat. This silver grey coat was made of some mysterious materials and had the same texture as silk and iron. Most importantly, Ye Qingxuan could change its form at will.
It would turn into armor, or a uniform of the Anglo Royal Music School, or a long robe of the east, or a corslet that shrouded Ye Qingxuan's whole body.
In fact, this coat was the former clothes of original sin that had been transformed by Ye Qingxuan.
The clothes of original sin inherited the music theory of Channeling Change from Paganini, and had also received the scepter of ”Dark Sky.” It specialized in simulating reality with music theory and suppressing enemies on a large scale.
Ye Qingxuan had managed to duplicate the ”Governor Armor” inside the clothes of original sin's body, and the ”Sigh Sword” as well. Although the robe might have looked very ordinary, it actually worked better than gospel armor in defensive and auxiliary power.
In a word, for a musician, it was even better than gospel armor.
Ye Qingxuan had wiped the personality of Paganini from the clothes of original sin and degraded its level. Since he knew how powerful Paganini really was, he had also wiped out every mark Paganini had left on the clothes of original sin, even if he knew he would also cause the clothes of original sin to lose many powerful abilities.
Flowing out, forming, creating, and moving… now, apart from the already transformed music theory of Channeling Change and Ye Qingxuan's music movement of Fate, there was nothing inside the clothes of original sin's body.
In this way, Paganini could no longer take the clothes of original sin away from him. Ye Qingxuan could finally take as much time as he wanted to make good use of this divine object.
For the first time, Ye Qingxuan realized the great benefits a divine object could bring to a musician.
The Stone Sword was very powerful, and its tenacity and spirituality were even stronger than the clothes of original sin's. But since it was the divine object of the Country of Anglo, it didn't recognize Ye Qingxuan as its master.
Currently, both the tenacity and spirituality had not been activated, so Ye Qingxuan could not bring the Stone Sword into full play, and could only use it to frighten others.
In this situation, using the clothes of original sin as an auxiliary divine object could be of much help to him.
However, Ye Qingxuan was not a black musician, otherwise, he would upgrade himself to the level of a Scepter simply by integrating the clothes of original sin into his own music movement of sound of heart.
In the old times, in the Auschwitz, the clothes of original sin would change to a new host every time the ”perishing praise” was played. Every black musician who had become its new host could reach the level of Scepter Musician.
The clothes of original sin had a strong simulation ability, and with the help of it, Ye Qingxuan managed to turn it into an exoskeleton that looked exactly like the gospel armor. Thus, he no longer needed to worry about lacking strength.
Ye Qingxuan's Aether sensing had grown extremely powerful. When he was transforming the clothes of original sin, he found out how he could become a Master. There was a big chance that he would reach the level of Master in less than a month.
While half a month earlier, he just reached the Resonating level!
This has never happened before. If anyone knew about this, I would definitely be caught by people from different schools, then I would probably be cut to pieces and observed under a microscope.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan sighed.
I received so much from Abraham when he died. All his knowledge, his experience, his interpretation of the Way of Deciphering, as well as all the music theories he had mastered as a Catastrophe Musician—they were all transferred to me via the perception thread.
Because Abraham had been sealed by the Aether, he could never reach the level of Master. Day after day, he worked so hard, and he finally reached to a level that few people could reach.
He had been waiting for this for decades, but he gave everything he had to me…
”How shameless I am!”
Ye Qingxuan cursed and forced himself to stop thinking about Abraham.
Ye Qingxuan realized that inside his body, the music movement of sound of heart had grown very powerful, and soon it was going to upgrade and become a real music movement of Fate.
Moreover, there were three cores in his music movement of sound of heart. The ”seal of moonlight” of Ye Lanzhou, the ”stone of sage” of Auschwitz, and the ”Catastrophe Resonation” of Abraham.
He felt like there were three hearts in his body, and the three music movements were constantly resonating with each other in three different Aether waves.
If Ye Qingxuan managed to combine the three music movements into one and made it his own sound of heart, he would become a Master and reach the highest level a Master could reach.
However, to reach this level, there was one more step, which had been bothering him very much.
He needed to intensify all three cores to the same degree. Compared to the seal of moonlight that combined with the Heaven Ladder, and the stone of sage that combined with the sub-originator, the Catastrophe Resonation was not intact.
This was not due to the neglect of Abraham, rather it was because of the problems of the music movement itself.
The Catastrophe Resonation would only work when resonating with a catastrophe. The reason that Abraham was so powerful was partly due to the compatibility of his own personality with the ”Silver Tide.”
However, Ye Qingxuan was not the same person as Abraham.
Although he knew the music movement that could resonate with the ”Silver Tide,” he did not dare to play it. He was afraid that once he played it, he would be assimilated by the Catastrophe and simply become a ”phenomenon”—a pool of moving hydrargyrum.
I'd better not play that music movement.
Since Ye Qingxuan was different from Abraham, he was afraid that if he did play that music movement like Abraham did, he would only cause trouble for himself.
Then, which Catastrophe should I resonate with?
Ye Qingxuan was completely lost.
Among the catastrophes, every one of them had different characteristics and disturbing aspects as well. Ye Qingxuan could not find any catastrophe that suited him.
