Chapter 1116
In a way, her face—at least to Gerald—was a textbook example of an oriental beauty. Shaking the thoughts off, Gerald quickly ran over to her and checked her pulse while asking, “Are you alright?” Getting no response, Gerald deduced that she had fainted from losing too much blood. ‘This wound would’ve been fatal if I hadn’t found you any sooner!’ Gerald thought to himself as he immediately rushed her over to the Yarne family manor. It was early the next morning when Yume Gunter slowly opened her eyes to the lingering scent of medicine. Looking around, she saw that she was in some sort of luxurious room. The moment she tried to sit up, however, she immediately let out a yelp. Someone had dressed her up in pajamas! Her immediate response was warranted since it was natural for women to be particularly sensitive toward being changed by strangers. This was especially so for Yume who was quite traditional-minded. However, she did notice that the person had also bandaged the in

As for Gerald, Wagner had called for him so that both of them could head over to meet Master Ghost in Langvern Church—which was located in Langvern Mountain—as appointed by Wagner the day before. In the past, Gerald hadn’t really believed in so-called ‘masters of fortune-telling’. He simply considered them to be people who were keen on deceiving others. However, from the moment he first found out about the remarkable old beggar in the mural, his views on fortune-telling began changing. Aside from all the mystifying new experiences he had gone through, Gerald also had another reason to believe that Master Ghost was the real deal. After all, Master Ghost had successfully predicted events that would befall Alice, Wagner, and even the Minshall family. Everything that he had said eventually came true. Since Master Ghost had been able to predict that both Wagner and Gerald would eventually meet, Gerald knew that there existed a chance that he would be able to learn about Mila and his

“So tell me, Gerald, why did you come all the way out here? Could it be that you’re hoping to meet Master Ghost to have your love fortune read? They say his predictions are extremely accurate, you know!” said Yasmeen. At that, Gerald simply shook his head. He didn’t really have much to talk to her about, and through his attitude, Gerald hoped that Yasmeen would eventually get the hint and understand that he really didn’t want to continue chatting with her. “I see… Well I certainly did! I hope he predicts nice things about my love life!” replied Yasmeen with a smile. “Come again? Don’t you already have a husband?” said Gerald. Though he didn’t show it, Gerald already knew why Yasmeen was treating him so differently compared to before. After all, he was no longer a ‘poor student’ in her eyes after displaying how rich he was back at the auction. “And who told you that I’m married? Whoever you’re thinking of, that man definitely isn’t my husband! Regardless, since we’ve known e

Out stepped a young man draped in black robes. When the visitors saw him, all of them fell silent. As for the apprentices, they immediately bowed respectfully before shouting in unison, “Senior!” “The distinguished guest that master’s been waiting for has arrived…” said the man as he scanned through the crowd with a smile. “May I know who among you goes by the name of Mr. Gerald Crawford? From Northbay?” added the man. “That would be me!” replied Gerald as he frowned slightly. To think that the mysterious Master Ghost had even predicted that he would come over today to pay him a visit! “Greetings, Mr. Crawford. The master has been waiting for you for the longest time, and he’s already prepared some tea for you. Please, follow me,” said the young priest as he bowed. Astonished, Gerald then replied, “…The longest time? From when exactly had he predicted my arrival…? As far as I know, Wagner only told him yesterday that I was coming over today to pay him a visit! Does Master G

As the copper coins in the nine dragons’ mouths dropped to the floor, they seemed to form a particular shape. Once all of them had fallen, Master Ghost walked over to have a look. After studying their formation for quite a while, he nodded slightly to himself. Seeing that, Gerald then asked, “How is it?” If he was going to be entirely honest, Gerald still couldn’t bring himself to fully believe in the old man’s capabilities. However, if Master Ghost truly was able to locate both Mila and his uncle, then, and only then, would all his doubts would be cleared. “…Well, the reading shows that you have a predestined relationship… As long as you’re able to find this relationship, then you’ll definitely be able to finally locate the people you’ve been looking for! With that in mind, that means that the people you’re hoping to find are still alive!” replied the old man with a smile. Frowning slightly, Gerald then asked, “Then do you know where they currently

“A stone tablet?” “Indeed. An ancient event of some sort had been painted onto it. Even after studying the stone tablet for quite some time, however, Xyion was only able to tell that it had something to do with a burial scene. He wasn’t able to understand the wording on the table at all, and after many years passed, he eventually lost interest in it. As a result, the tablet is now kept as an ancient art piece within my private room!” explained Master Ghost. Another mural…? Whenever Gerald heard about murals now, it always prompted his mind to recall what he had seen inside the ancient tomb. As one would expect, ancient murals were usually filled with historic tales that reflected the people of the time’s social, political, economic, literary, artistic, and technological capabilities. Such murals could end up being vastly different according to the artists’ beliefs, customs, and also their aesthetic concepts. These murals—that were usually drawn as long as rivers—were viewed
Chapter1122
Turning to look at the second mural, Gerald saw that it was about the lady in white’s burial. On the day of her burial itself, a thunderstorm seemed to be present. Inclusive of the old man, Gerald counted—relatively easily—thirty-seven people in the next image, with nine people standing in each of the four rows that were drawn. With the thunderstorm still raging on, the people in this team seemed to be the only ones who had been chosen to set off to the palace of the goddess. Halfway through their journey there, they appeared to halt at an island to take a short rest. However, something happened soon after as was seen on the third mural. The ones on the island were greeted by the sight of a giant ship! This wasn’t the first time Gerald had seen this ship either. It was exactly similar to the one he had seen in the tomb before this. Seeing the oddly-shaped massive ship hovering atop the island, the thirty-six people the beggar had brought along immediately fell to their knees
Chapter1123
Now that he was done reading the murals, he explained everything that he had just learned to Master Ghost. “…I see. I do wonder, Mr. Crawford, if you find the supernatural giant ship in the murals to be suspicious as well… After all, scientifically speaking, there was no way such a massive, floating vehicle like that could exist back then. Even my master said that the ship was something out of this world back when he first saw it forty years ago,” said Master Ghost. “I do. While this isn’t my first time seeing it, back when I first did, I had been extremely skeptical the moment I saw it. Now, however, I have reason to believe that the murals could actually be evidence that our planet had—at one point—been dominated by some advanced civilization alongside that dragon that had been heavily injured under the sea!” replied Gerald. “It appears that you believe in these murals, Mr. Crawford. You know, both my master and I had been confused by the dragon and the giant descending ship fr
