Chapter 115 - Dragon Horse Zither

"What is the Dragon Horse Zither, and how did it get lost together with the Tianlong Medal?"

My personal questions were finally over, and I listened carefully to the mission of the Tianlong Medal, hoping it would be of some help to me.

"The Dragon Horse Zither is a divine instrument refined by Tianmeng Goddess using the bones of the divine beast, the Double-winged Golden Horse King, the silk of the Fire Dragon Silkworm from Tianyun Mountain, and the tendons of a giant dragon. The music played by this instrument can control all horses. In the great war a thousand years ago, the Flying Dragon Holy Knight Lianya manipulated the Dragon Horse Zither to play a piece of music that made their own warhorses invincible and agile, while making the opponents' warhorses lose their footing and become disoriented. It can be said that the Dragon Horse Zither was a nightmare for the demon cavalry at that time, rendering them powerless and allowing the human knights to win every battle and conquer all enemies."

Wow, such a powerful treasure! In any war, a cavalry unit combining speed and strength is essential, and the combat effectiveness of a cavalry unit cannot be ignored. The Dragon Horse Zither has such an effect that it can even make infantry without horses vulnerable to the intense impact of cavalry units.

If a guild has the Dragon Horse Zither, they can directly annihilate the opposing cavalry unit in a guild battle, achieving a 100% victory rate.

"After realizing the huge power of the Dragon Horse Zither in Lianya's hands, the demon army knew that they could not organize their troops to fight against humans as long as the Dragon Horse Zither remained unresolved. They then sent out one of their eight guardians, the Six-winged Snake, to assassinate Lianya. Lianya, who was negligent in her defense, was seriously injured and on the brink of death. Faced with the Six-winged Snake, one of the demon army's eight guardians, Lianya had no choice but to hide in the nearby Mist Palace and seal it with the Ghost Artifact Realm Needle. Only warriors at level 30 and above, carrying the Realm Energy Stone, could enter it."

The Sky Knight Ma Lei sighed at this point, indicating that something big was about to happen.

"After Lianya entered the Mist Palace, both the Tianlong Medal and the Dragon Horse Zither fell into it. The Six-winged Snake was about to kill Lianya and obtain the two treasures, but Lianya managed to escape and take the Tianlong Medal and the Dragon Horse Zither into the Mist Palace. The Six-winged Snake disregarded the super-strong monsters inside the Mist Palace, immediately guarded the entrance of the Mist Palace, and sent people to search for the Realm Energy Stone. They also dispatched high-level warriors at level 30 to enter the Mist Palace to pursue Lianya and seize the Tianlong Medal and the Dragon Horse Zither."

"What was the result?"

I hope that the Six-winged Snake did not obtain the Tianlong Medal and the Dragon Horse Zither. As one of the eight guardians of the demon army, I have already experienced the abilities of the Dark Magician, the Two-headed Crow King. It is impossible for me to find the Six-winged Snake and recover the Tianlong Medal and the Dragon Horse Zither, even if I reach level 50.

"The lowest level monster in the Mist Palace is level thirty, with an average level of forty. Six-winged Snake has sent almost two hundred level thirty experts to enter the Mist Palace to search for the Dragon Knight Lianya, but not only did they find no results, all level thirty experts who entered the Mist Palace disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues or messages."

Wow, they are powerful creatures. I wonder how capable those level thirty experts were and how much of a gap there is between their abilities and mine. However, as a group, their overall strength should be much stronger than mine, and yet they still have no news. Can I handle it alone?

I am restless, and I just underestimated the difficulty of this task. The monsters in the Mist Palace are powerful, and I should not underestimate them.

"What about the Dragon Knight Lianya? Has she never come out since she entered?"

"No. When the Tianlong Dynasty received this news, Lianya had already been in the Mist Palace for ten days. During that time, Six-winged Snake has been guarding the entrance to the Mist Palace, preventing Lianya from leaving. After the Tianlong Dynasty dispatched experts to drive away Six-winged Snake, they quickly arranged for level thirty experts to enter the Mist Palace to find Lianya. However, the results were the same as Six-winged Snake's encounter, with no news of the Dragon Knight Lianya, and all level thirty experts who entered the Mist Palace disappeared without a trace. Although the average level of monsters in the Mist Palace is level forty, those level thirty experts are all extraordinary, and it is unlikely that they would be so weak. Everyone is puzzled, but unfortunately, only level thirty players can enter, leaving this mystery unsolved. As for the Dragon Knight Lianya, it is speculated that she may have encountered high-level monsters due to her severe injuries and lost her life in the Mist Palace."

"… "

The monsters in the Mist Palace are so powerful, I need to be careful.

"What happened later?"

"Tianlong Medal and Dragon Horse Zither are in the Mist Palace. In order to retrieve these two treasures, the Demon King and the Tianlong Dynasty have been searching for level thirty experts, hoping to successfully retrieve the Tianlong Medal and Dragon Horse Zither from inside. Unfortunately, there have been no survivors among anyone who entered the Mist Palace, and once inside, there is no way to communicate with the outside world. Therefore, no one knows the exact situation inside the Mist Palace."

"Since that's the case, let the Tianlong Medal and Dragon Horse Zither be sealed in the Mist Palace. As long as the Demon King cannot get them, there will be no impact."

The Mist Palace is so terrifying. According to the words of the Dragon Knight Ma Lei, they have sent many level thirty experts into it. These level thirty experts are definitely the backbone and future heroes of the Tianlong Dynasty, but they were swallowed up by the Mist Palace, and the future flowers of the Tianlong Dynasty withered and died. It is truly regrettable.

Now, what is most important is talent, talent is the most important. Does the Tianlong Dynasty not even understand this simple truth? For the sake of two treasures, they have wasted so much talent, it is truly shameful. The Tianlong Dynasty's actions are really not worth the loss.

"We are also forced into this situation. We have seen countless excellent disciples being devoured by the Mist Palace, which has caused us great anguish. However, the Heavenly Demon recognizes the importance of the Dragon Horse Zither and is filled with possessiveness towards it. They have spared no effort in sending people to search for it in the Mist Palace. How can the Tianlong Dynasty allow the Heavenly Demon to obtain the Dragon Horse Zither? If the Heavenly Demon does obtain it, our cavalry corps, which accounts for one-third of the military power of the Tianlong Dynasty, will be completely destroyed. In the event of another invasion by the Heavenly Demon, humanity will be in great danger."

At this point, the Skyhorse Knight Ma Lei looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Stone City, to be frank with you, our scouts have learned that the Heavenly Demon has sent a demon genius, a master who obtained a magic tool before reaching level thirty, to the Mist Palace this time. The Heavenly Demon is determined to succeed this time. We have no choice but to seek your help. We hope that you can retrieve the Tianlong Medal and the Dragon Horse Zither before that demon genius does. Also, after the Flying Dragon Holy Knight Lianya entered the Mist Palace, her artifact, the Flying Dragon Blaze Spear, and her mount, the divine beast Cold Ice Snow Dragon, were all lost in the Mist Palace. We must not let the demon tribe obtain them."

Oh my, this is blatant temptation. It is clearly impossible for me to refuse, as it involves not only artifacts, but also divine beasts.

I am dizzy, I am utterly dizzy!

There is no information or news, and no useful information, it is a completely surprising and unknown adventure. For someone who loves adventure, it is definitely stimulating, but it is too dangerous, like walking into a trap with my head held high.

Should I accept this task and venture into the mysterious and unpredictable Mist Palace? I silently ask myself.
