Chapter 1119
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

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

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

Even if that was the case, however, everything they owned still belonged to Gerald now. “You’d better sign the contract once I’ve retrieved the stone, you got that?” said Gerald as he tossed Zelda to the ground before all the other Minshalls. Upon leaving, the old master immediately burst into tears as he shouted, “That… That b*stard…! How dare he take everything away from us…!” He truly didn’t know how he was still alive after yesterday’s events. To think that they used to have such a happy and wonderful life… Now, however, it was all gone, and Gerald’s constant mockery only made it worse. If only his naïve granddaughter hadn’t provoked that man, then everything would’ve been fine. Who would’ve thought that this man would be so unreasonable? He was a much bigger thief than all the Minshalls combined! He simply stole everything that he saw! For many years now, the Minshalls had been a well-known and almost noble-like family within Halimark City. Never had they felt this lowly

As all this was happening, Master Ghost himself was staring at the six stone tablets, continuing to ponder on Gerald’s interpretation of the murals. Something just didn’t feel right… Seconds later, a student of his came running in before saying, “M-master! There’s a girl outside who’s been trying to break into the church! She keeps saying that she wants you to give her a reading on her life! Though many of us tried to stop her, she simply keeps fighting her way in! We… We don’t stand a chance against her! Even worse is the fact that she said she would burn the building down if you still refuse to see her!” Frowning, Master Ghost then waved a hand before replying, “I’ll deal with this. Tell her to wait for me in the front room!” Watching his student run off, Ghost then shook his head before—rather unwillingly—heading over to the girl. “M-master told you to wait here for him! He’ll be here in a moment!” wailed the voice of his earlier student as Master Ghost stepped into the fr
Chapter 1126
The stone itself stood at about half a meter high, and Yume couldn’t help but feel that the stone was rather extraordinary. It simply gave off an aura of intimacy when one looked at it. Unable to help herself, Yume found herself gently and carefully caressing the stone. However, not long after she touched it, the stone suddenly lit up, enveloping Yume in a bright light that shone in all the colors of the rainbow! Taking a few steps back, Yume immediately shielded her eyes with a hand as the bright light momentarily blinded her. A little while later, the colorful lights finally began dimming down again, and eventually, the stone returned to its initial faint glow. However, a few complicated-looking lines seemed to have formed on the stone as well. “Are you alright, Miss Gunter?” asked Master Ghost as he walked over with a wry smile on his face, his divination reading complete. “…I-I’m fine… Speaking of which, what kind of broken stone even is this…? Why would it suddenly light
