Having made his decision, Zong Shen wasted no time and promptly looked at the next item!
There were plenty of banner rewards, but the equipment was quite good.
At long last, he had finally gotten an item of equipment!
It was a badge bearing the image of the Throne of Ten Thousand Swords.
The so-called Throne of Ten Thousand Swords was a throne forged from tens of thousands of longswords.
Anyone sitting upon it could easily be cut by the blades. Wise monarchs used it to admonish their descendants that the meaning of the throne lay in Dedication rather than taking, while foolish rulers would be wounded by the throne's blades.
Thus, the Throne of Ten Thousand Swords represented both the will of the people and a nation's royal throne.
It carried much the same meaning as, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
Zong Shen knew the symbolism behind the badge because the Strategy Guide's notes had directly popped up with such a lengthy background explanation.
As an accessory-type piece of equipment, Zong Shen was quite looking forward to this badge.
Setting aside the meaning of the Throne of Ten Thousand Swords, a Radiant-tier VII accessory was already tremendously valuable in itself.
"Let me see..."
Zong Shen took out the badge and laid it in his palm, narrowing his eyes as he examined it.
