Silent Crown-Chapter 496 You Are Asking For…

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.

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. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

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."
