Chapter 1186: Divine Stronghold's Plea for Help, Orleans Maiden Joan [Subscription Request][5K]_2

However, Zong Shen felt it wasn’t as emotionally resonant as the erhu.

Looking at the Endless Continent filled with a Western fantasy style, he felt somewhat helpless.

He wondered if there would ever be a chance to find a continent or world with an Eastern style in the future.

After musing for a while, Zong Shen refocused his attention on the harp.

This was a large harp, about the height of a person, with a pale yellow solid wood body that was quite elegant.

The string face had a total of 47 vertical strings of varying lengths, and there were seven sets of pedals to change the pitch of the strings.

The pillars, resonance box, and base on the harp’s body were all intact.

This was the type of large instrument commonly seen in symphony and opera performances.

Zong Shen couldn’t understand why it was related to equipment.

With a puzzled thought, he prepared to find answers from the attribute information.

(An uncommon melody weapon, which you have no use for, can consider giving it to Minstrel Englandmu to coax a good buddy back)

“Melody weapons…”

Zong Shen softly repeated.

Strictly speaking, this harp was truly a rare piece.

It was the first time he acquired such a type of weapon.

Driven by curiosity, he reached out to try to pluck the strings.

Yet those forty-seven strings remained unmoved.

Zong Shen didn’t dare to use too much force, worried he might break the strings.

“Let’s show it to Englandmu when the time comes.”

“Whether or not to give it to him still isn’t certain!”

He gazed at the harp, pondering silently.

This large harp was far more enormous than the Vieille that Englandmu carried with him.

To bring it along he’d either need Spatial Items or a carriage.

Moreover, Englandmu was merely a Rare Level Talent Minstrel, it would be somewhat wasteful to give him this Legendary Level harp.

“We’ll see after meeting up with Englandmu.”

Zong Shen shook his head, raising his hand to store the entire harp in the Storage Grid.

Next came the sixth item, a recruitment contract.

The yellowed page was filled with dense writing.

Upon close inspection, Zong Shen discovered the text was in ancient French from Earth.

Every letter had extravagant flourishes, a rather classical cursive style.

Commonly seen in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries among gentlemen in the foggy city.

There was also a simple sketch of a rose in the top right corner of the contract.

Due to the cursive writing and structural differences from French on Earth, Zong Shen couldn’t understand it.

But he had an all-purpose translator—the Guide Module!

With the Guide Module in play, he finished reading the contract’s text.

It was written by an Archbishop to a maiden named Joan.

[To Saint Joan—]

The closing salutation confirmed this.

As an Otherworld Recruitment Contract, it was similar to the contract used to recruit Gujate.

Both were meant to recruit an Otherworldly Warrior to fight for him,

but this contract seemed to have a fixed recruitment target.

“Saint Joan?”

“Isn’t that the heroine from France?”

“She reclaimed the territories that England had captured from France in those days, and she relieved the siege of Orléans.”

Zong Shen furrowed his brows; he had certainly heard some tales about Saint Joan.

However, the real Joan was a historical figure from the Western world on Earth.

It was hardly possible for her to be connected to the power of the Otherworld.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but ask the Guide Module.

“Is the Saint Joan mentioned in the recruitment contract the one from Earth’s historical records?”

(Oh, my heavens, Saint Joan is not exclusive to Earth; in fact, this Joan comes from a fictive dimension called Iron Armor Continent, whose power system has certain overlaps with the underlying rules of the Endless Continent, making her suitable to be transformed into an Otherworldly Warrior compliant with the descent requirements. However, the Joan from Iron Armor Continent does share some background similarities with Earth’s Saint Joan. Regardless, strive to become the Supreme Lord, then you’ll be able to witness a broader new world.)
