Silent Crown-Chapter 504 I am a Professional Repairman; I am Trustworthy

"You want to repair it?" Albert laughed. "Ye Qingxuan, I know how powerful you are in the respect of the path of domain. But the enchantment in the Sacred City is different from that in Avalon. The base point of harmonious melody of the former is six times of that of the latter. Besides, in the past few centuries, it has been repaired and enhanced many times! As long as the base point increases, the labor and the difficulty of repairing and enhancing the enchantment would increase by geometric progression! This enchantment is actually an unprecedented and extremely complex alchemy array; even Hermes would not be able to fix it! You are just a Master, and you really think you can handle it? Be sensible! You know what, even simply making the enchantment function again would need more than one Master!" ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

Ye Qingxuan was not bothered by Albert's cynicism. He looked at the dim nebula floating in the holy temple and asked, "You still have the highest authorization, don't you?"

"So what?" Albert rolled his eyes. "Terminating my authorization is a big project. You would have to rewrite the ultimate arrays of the Instruments of harmonious melody one by one, which would cost you one month at least. The same applies to Ludovic. By the way, even if you had the authorization, it wouldn't be much help if you haven't got the...?"

Ye Qingxuan laughed. "As far as I am concerned, the enchantment is itself a bridge which connects all the important institutions together, which makes it far more important than the Pope's palace. I have read from the materials of the Silence Governance that the ultimate authorization can be used to activate the bell tower system, and one can be aided with the energy from the bell tower system…"

Albert was silent.

"I think I can do it," Ye Qingxuan said with a rather serious face.

"You must be mad." Albert shook his head.

"It would be abnormal if I was not mad." Ye Qingxuan looked at him. "The worst scenario may be my explosion in front of you. What on earth are you afraid of? Worrying that your new clothes might get stained?"

"I think you are asking for trouble." Albert sighed. "Do whatever what you want. Tell me how many bell towers you need in total, and I will get them for you!"

"How many can I have at most?"

"Ten," Albert said.

Ye Qingxuan gave in and sighed. "Ten will be fine then."

"Please follow me." Albert glanced at Ye Qingxuan, turned around, and walked towards the deepest part of the palace.

It was completely dark around them, and the two walked on the stairs and passed many mysterious doors.

As time went on, it was getting hotter and hotter. Ye Qingxuan felt like he was in a sauna. When he breathed in the hot air, he felt as if his lungs were going to melt away.

The two stopped. In front of them, there was only one more door.

"Is the internal water cooling system broken?" Ye Qingxuan asked.

Albert did not reply. Instead, he asked Ye Qingxuan to wait for a while. Then he walked into a small room next to the door.

Albert walked out wearing thick, heat-resistant clothing. Looking through the glass on the helmet, Ye Qingxuan found that Albert was also wearing a portable rebreather.

"Remember to protect yourself," Albert said and pulled down the rod.

Bang!

The door opened, and hot steam spurted out. Ye Qingxuan could see that the other side of the door was simply a big smelter, in which numerous Instruments of harmonious melody were standing upright.

More than half of the Instruments of harmonious melody had already dimmed, and only the six Instruments of harmonious melody in the center were still shining with a dim light.

Each Instrument of harmonious melody was cone-shaped and a few meters high. Countless threads were twining around the Instruments of harmonious melody, extending to the upper roof.

All the Instruments of harmonious melody were standing in the steam, and one could only see a vague silhouette of them.

Ye Qingxuan felt like he had stepped into a foggy forest, but it was not fog, it was burning hot steam.

All the other engineers were wearing the same clothing as Albert. Apart from them, there were groups of musicians hurriedly walking around. They were working very hard to maintain the Instruments of harmonious melody and prevent them from collapsing, something that was going to happen at any minute.

"Hello, I haven't see you guys for such a long time," Albert greeted them. "Congratulations! Your former boss has come back, right? But it is such a pity that he might be the last one who is in charge of this damn place."

"We are in the control center of the enchantment?" Ye Qingxuan covered his nose and said. At the same time, a boundary layer appeared around him and blocked the scary steam.

"You are right." Albert pushed away the working staff who were in his way. He then walked to the central area and bypassed the huge central Instrument of harmonious melody.

In the middle of the six instruments of harmonious melody stood an enormous "Aether Pond" that was ten meters wide.

Normally, the pond was very calm. Because of the huge pressure of the Instrument of harmonious melody, the Sea of Aether had congealed. The complex alchemy array here, together with the magnificent music movements formed by the music theory of the Sea of Aether, formed the core of the enchantment of the Sacred City. Or in other words, the Moving World among the four alchemy worlds.

This was the place where the original music theory of the enchantment was kept. Via the music theory, the central holy temple managed to control...?

However, the enchantment was out of control.

Over half of the Instruments of harmonious melody did not work anymore; the Aether Pond also became a mess due to the outside interference.

An ordered system now became an "Aether Whirlpool" that was full of scary fragments of the music theory. Drastic reactions were happening all the time and the balance could break down at any minute.

Moreover, most of the alchemy array did not work anymore, and the left part was overloading.

Seeing this, Albert cursed. His face was now convulsed with anger. If Ludovic were standing in front of him, he would definitely have loaded himself with bombs and killed both Ludovic and himself.

Watching the boiling red soup of an Aether Pond, Ye Qingxuan was a bit confused.

"You do not mean to ask me to jump into the Aether Pond to repair the enchantment, right?" Ye Qingxuan asked.

"You are right." Albert laughed and said with a serious face, "On behalf of the cardinal church, I now command you to save the Sacred City!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan forced out a smile and nodded.

Albert then touched his left eye with his hand, and when he moved his hand away, Ye Qingxuan saw that his left eyeball was gone.

In Albert's hand, there was an artificial eyeball that was still moving.

"What is that?" Ye Qingxuan asked.

"When I took charge of the central holy temple, people from the artifacts exhibition room took away one of my eyeballs and made this artificial one for me."

Albert then handed this eyeball to Ye Qingxuan and said, "Take it with you. When you manage to repair the enchantment and you are still alive, you will need this."

The eyeball began to disassemble itself and took off its outer wrapping. What was now left was an extremely complicated music movement that was made up of countless dancing musical notes. The musical notes gathered together and formed a clock.

In the blink of an eye, the clock merged with Ye Qingxuan's body and integrated with his music movement of fate.

Actually, this clock was a key, but Albert did not tell him what was it really for. He then waved his hands and asked Ye Qingxuan to leave soon.

In a short while, Ye Qingxuan took off all his belongings. There was only one thing left on him, and that was the clothes of original sin. It was no longer black, instead it looked almost invisible, which was the result of the change of music theory that had twisted both the light and senses.

"Are you ready?"

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand. "Start when I give the signal." He was standing next to the pond and heard Albert shouting at him in the distance.

"What?" he turned around and looked at Albert.

Albert looked a bit worried, full of expectation and a bit of longing.

"Are you sure about this?" Albert asked.

Ye Qingxuan laughed. "No worry. I worked as a repairman in the town of Lute for five years, and I was responsible for all the bell towers there! You know what the people from Anglo's Privy Council have said to me?"

"They said I am a professional repairman, so I am trustworthy!"

In the next moment, Ye Qingxuan jumped into the pond and disappeared in the red boiling water.

Albert anxiously rushed to the pond and hurriedly looked for Ye Qingxuan's body, without caring if he would be hurt by the heat and the bright light.

Suddenly, the Aether Pond became calm again.

Countless music theories were intertwining with each other, dazzling Albert. He tried to analyze it, but he soon felt very dizzy and stopped.

It was already beyond his limit to analyze the music theory that had changed drastically.

This was all because of Ye Qingxuan.

Thinking of this, Albert could not help murmuring, "What a monster he is…"

A white light suddenly flew out of the Aether Pond and blazed across Albert's face. Albert was terrified by this and fell on the ground.

Suddenly, the low and deep sound of zither came from nowhere. At the same time, countless strings of Jiu Xiao Huan Pei surfaced and intertwined with each other. In the blink of an eye, they filled the whole space.

The strings were all vibrating and playing different musical notes. It was the music movement of "Tune of the Sea Dragon."

The Heaven Ladder was activated.

The strings resonated with each other and shrouded all the Instruments of harmonious melody.

Accompanied with the ongoing music notes, the rest of the Instruments of harmonious melody all lit up again.

One instrument, two instruments, three instruments… In the blink of an eye, all the Instruments of harmonious melody were shining in the cold light, and everyone present was shocked by this scene.

All the Instruments of harmonious melody that had stopped working due to the collapse of music theory began to work again.

"He did it! He managed to activate the Instruments of harmonious melody," a musician exclaimed. "I have also got the signal from the music theory of the Moving World."

Everyone was cheered up and amazed by this scene.

It was just like a dying old man whose heart rejuvenated again had opened his eyes, stood up, and yelled, "I am not dead yet, I am still alive!" while his family was preparing for his funeral.
