Chapter 212: Mysterious Eye Technique
“That’s correct, we are indeed not from the Great Fortune Kingdom,” Zhanyue answered honestly, trying to gauge Prince Yu’s intentions. His eyes occasionally glanced at the two beautiful maids behind Prince Yu, probably the most attractive local people he had seen in this world.
“Young Master Zhan single-handedly killed the enemy general, turning the tide of battle. He should be credited with the top merit for this war. And Miss Feng, assisting me in quickly containing the plague across three provinces, also deserves great merit. I don’t know how to reward you properly. Would you be interested in official positions at court?” Prince Yu asked.
Zhanyue and Feng Xueqing both shook their heads, expressing no interest.
“Then are you interested in gold and silver?” Prince Yu asked directly, as he could tell these two were not ordinary people.
“Gold and silver are of no use to us,” Zhanyue replied. They weren’t from this world and would leave after completing their mission, so what use would they have for this world’s money?
“Power and wealth, you want neither. Then I truly don’t know how to reward you,” Prince Yu showed a troubled expression.
Zhanyue understood Prince Yu’s meaning; he was letting them name their conditions. So Zhanyue didn’t hesitate, “Your Highness is knowledgeable and experienced. Have you encountered any extraordinary objects? We two are interested in such things.”
Prince Yu smiled and clapped his hands. The maid beside him understood and retrieved something from a nearby cabinet. It was an object on a tray, covered with a red cloth inscribed with scriptures, looking quite mysterious.
“You two are indeed extraordinary, seeking extraordinary things. I happen to have a treasure here that I can give to you, to thank you for your kindness.” Prince Yu had his servants remove the zither and placed the object on the table, then removed the red cloth covering the mysterious item about a quarter of a person’s height.
