496 You Are Asking For… (2/2)
After excluding all the weak ones, Ye Qingxuan drew closer to the catastrophe that suited him among the top-class catastrophes: the Three Pillar God, the Three Wise Men, the Eight Phenomena…
I think I should exclude the Eight Phenomena. Although they are really powerful and destructive, if I resonate with them, I shall lose all my sanity.
Among the Three Wise Man, the God of the Immortals had not been seen by anyone for many years; Nibelungenlied had been sealed by the Church; and Boss, who Ye Qingxuan was most familiar with, had basically become a useless man after coming back from Auschwitz. He could not even be called a catastrophe.
As for the Three Pillar God, the Holy Ax never responded to anyone's summoning, and the mortal could only prove its existence via the music theory of the musicians of the Seven Systems. Throughout history, only three men had been aided by it, and they were the Kings of the Musicians: Blue, Red, and Yellow.
Ye Qingxuan knew he was clearly not as strong as the three Kings of the Musicians, and thus could never be aided by the Holy Ax.
How about Hyakume? Not possible. As for Quiet Moon, well, not impossible either.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan could not help laughing. He shook his head and stopped trying to find a suitable catastrophe.
The Quiet Moon stood for extreme balance and punishment, and was even crueler than Hyakume and the Holy Ax.
Throughout history, many people who dared to resonate with the music theory of the Quiet Moon had been eradicated by its power.
Resonating with the Quiet Moon was playing with fire.
For example, Lola had decided to finish her life and dedicated herself to the Quiet Moon. She went through many hardships and managed to survive after finishing her transition. However, she would endure extreme pain as long as she was still breathing. After she died, she would become a part of the music theory of the Quiet Moon and never be free of the Quiet Moon.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan felt headache coming on.
At the same time, the door behind him opened and Lola walked in.
After extracting much blood, Lola's face finally grew a bit rosy and looked like a living person's face. Behind her stood Samuel and all his disciples. They all looked very compliant and serious; clearly, Lola had successfully reshaped their personalities.
”All done?”
Ye Qingxuan stood up and said, ”We should leave here immediately. On the ground, Hyakume is going to declare a war with the people of the Sacred City. It is too dangerous, and I have decided that I will never get involved in this fight.”
Hearing his words and seeing his anxiety, Lola did not feel relieved at all.
”What is wrong?” Ye Qingxuan asked.
Lola was silent for a while, then she sighed. ”Ye Qingxuan, I just felt the Aether wave of my teacher… I think he is also in the Sacred City.”
”...”
Ye Qingxuan was shocked.
Lola's teacher was actually Ye Qingxuan's father, Ye Lanzhou.
Ye Lanzhou? Are you f*cking kidding me?
Ye Lanzhou had not shown himself for many years, and Ye Qingxuan had already accepted this fact and pretended to believe that he had been hiding someplace where no one could find him. After all these years, Ye Qingxuan had given up the hope of finding him, and kept telling himself that his father had already died.
Ye Qingxuan thought he had already gotten over this business, but when he heard that Ye Lanzhou was still alive, his heart began to beat rather fast.
He wanted to meet his father, which was perfectly fine and reasonable. But this mere idea also annoyed him very much.
He was silent. After a long while, he lowered his head and sighed. ”Are you sure?”
Lola nodded.
”Fine…”
Ye Qingxuan massaged his face and took a deep breath and said, ”Give me my Aether ball.”
Lola handed him his Aether ball. Then Ye Qingxuan turned around and began to walk in another direction.
There was a huge instrument of harmonious melody in the Sforza family's underground palace. It was the foundation of this region, and secretly connected with many other countries.
Ye Qingxuan put his Aether ball into this instrument and began to make connection.
After a while, someone replied.
”Hello?” a man said in a hoarse voice.
”Naberius, this is Ye Qingxuan.”
”Ye Qingxuan? You managed to get out of the underground palace? I see that you are connecting with me via the line that belongs to the Sforza family… Are you trying to ask me to do some dirty work, or be your scapegoat again?”
Suddenly, Naberius's voice became very high-pitched and he screamed, ”I won't do it! I will never do it! By the way, what have you done to get Hyakume involved in this? Anyway, it is none of my business, I am currently moving to a new place, I have got no time to…”
Ye Qingxuan laughed and said, ”You are so afraid of Hyakume?”
”Yes! And so what? A decent and powerful man like you isn't afraid of Hyakume, are you? I don't care what are you intend to do, just leave me out of it. I am gonna cut off the connection now.”
Ye Qingxuan said, ”I want to join your team.”
”Nonsense.” Naberius laughed. ”I heard that you even rejected Ludovic's offer, and he is much more powerful than I am.”
”So you knew it already?”
”Of course,” Naberius said. ”I know many things, but I do not think there is any need to for me to tell everything I know to someone else.”
”Then let's get back to business,” Ye Qingxuan said. ”Give me what I want, and when I succeed, I will lend you the clothes of original sin, so you can have a good look at it.”
Ye Qingxuan then told Naberius what he wanted.
Naberius didn't reply, and Ye Qingxuan could hear screaming and yelling from Naberius's side.
After a long while, Naberius said in a very hoarse voice, ”Ye Qingxuan, my dear friend. I know you are a genius and you may be even stronger than me. But I have to tell you that the way you have chosen won't work.”
”It won't work?” Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan laughed and said, ”I like a way that won't work.”
