Chapter 432: Clinging Scarf
The next day, the situation in Rosalind City had significantly improved since the siege by the second prince’s troops was destroyed. Economic activities were rolling again, and the teleportation station was active once more, as the city could now significantly reduce its energy stone consumption due to the deactivation of the city’s barrier following the safe conditions after the battle two days ago.
With the teleportation station operational again, the people of the city could reconnect with the outside world.
Baron Rosalind had also sent a King Stage expert to Ardima Town yesterday to manage the area after hearing about the situation from Old Man York. As a result, the town had finally reactivated its teleportation formation.
There were still several cities and towns within the Rosalind Barony under the occupation of the second prince’s faction, but they could now be easily taken care of by the Rosalind troops. After all, the main force that had attacked the barony had already been destroyed by Aldrian.
Amid all these positive developments, the people had begun discussing matters beyond the hardships of war. The hottest topic was the circulating rumor about a mysterious swordsman who had appeared in the southern region of the empire and destroy the second prince’s troops there.
Of course, many people had seen two mysterious figures arrive in Ardima and Rosalind, but they couldn’t confirm whether one of them was the rumored swordsman. After all, the people in Caritas hadn’t seen their lord use the teleportation station, and even for cultivators who could fly, it would take at least a month to reach Ardima or Rosalind.
However, the battle outside Rosalind City further strengthened the rumor that the mysterious swordsman was indeed in the southern region and even inside Rosalind City. Some even claimed to have seen Baron Rosalind escorting the figures toward his mansion.
This caused a sensation—how could this enigmatic person have already reached the southern region and engaged in battle with yet another large army from the second prince’s faction?
Another story, no less intriguing than that of the mysterious swordsman and widely discussed across many parts of the continent, was the sound of the guqin that had resounded the night before last. It was said that the music could be heard in multiple regions across the continent.
This sent shudders through many people’s hearts, as it could only mean that a cultivator highly skilled in the sound element and the guqin had the power to affect vast regions.
The beautiful sound of the guqin could be heard across different empires—something even an Emperor Stage sound element cultivator couldn’t achieve. This led many to wonder about the identity of the guqin player. For sound element cultivators in particular, the desire to meet this figure grew stronger. A person capable of such a feat had to be a powerful cultivator with profound attainment in the sound element.
