They came to the third floor and closed the door.
Thomas and Pisces were sitting face-to-face, each pouring a cup of tea.
“How is it? What is the progress of the House of Vistaria investigation?” Thomas asked.
“It’s all sorted out now. Having said that, there is a hint of the supernatural,” Pisces replied.
‘Supernatural?’ Thomas’s interest was instantly piqued, and favonovel.com inquired, “Tell me about it”
So then, Pisces told Thomas all the information that favonovel.com had just instructed people to look into. It was indeed miraculous, but there were some truths and some falsehoods. It was quite difficult to summarize in words. It turns out that Celandine City has always had a legend, a legend about the “city’s luck”.
According to legend, Celandine City had a city’s luck that protected the entire city beneath it. Everything in Celandine City was closely linked to the city’s luck. The reason why Celandine City was able to have good weather and enjoy prosperous years after years was due to the city’s blessing. Every year, Celandine City held big and small events to thank the city for its luck.
The annual ‘Duel of Luck’ was one of the most important events!
On this day, experts from all over the country came to fight, and the winner will have the great honor of drinking a cup of Ancestral Water that carries the essence of the city’s luck. Anyone who can achieve great things in Celandine City had taken the ancestral water previously, including Lord Vedastus!
As for the House of Vistaria, it was an ancient family that had lasted for hundreds of years. They were the only family in Celandine City that could sense the location of the city’s luck and ‘connect’ with it. According to the legend, every head of the House of Vistaria, who was also the head of the Mars family, was said to have the ability to connect with the city’s luck. There was even a legend that said the Ancestral Blood was what flowed in the veins of the people of the Mars family!
The reason that people of the Mars family had such a high reputation in Celandine City was because of that. Despite the fact that the Mars family lacked powerful strength and was neither the richest nor the most powerful in Celandine City, no force dared to take action against them.
It someone were to tight against the Mars family it means to fight the city’s luck as well. This was against the entire Celandine City!
Celandine City’s people, who had been well-educated since childhood, were convinced of the city’s luck, which was why Owen could enthrall the crowds with just a few words.
After listening to all this, Thomas nodded and said, “It does have a supernatural ring to it. However, the majority of the information is inaccurate. I’m not sure about the city’s luck, but one thing is certain. The Mars family cannot be descendants of the city’s luck. At the very least, Phoebe is a regular person.”
Pisces agreed. “I have pretty much the same thought. The legend of the city’s luck is very mysterious and ungrounded. Even still, the people of Celandine City continue to believe it. I think there must be something wrong with it. There is one more thing I need to mention. Commander-in-chief, Lord Vedastus only thrives after drinking the Dragon’s Water!”
“Is it?” Thomas narrowed his eyes slightly and analyzed, “We all know that the core of the success of Art Trading Corporation is actually due to the Heart Eater. Whether it was Silvester, Bernard, or Lord Vedastus, the means they used were the same, except that Silvester and Bernard were more simple and brutal, whilst Lord Vedastus was more strategic.”
It was all centered around the Heart Eater.
The Heart Eater was utilized by Lord Vedastus’s Art Trading Corporation to control those business tycoons who had defected to the banner of Lord Vedastus. He then continued to grow in power. Deception and conspiring got favonovel.com to where favonovel.com was now. According to Pisces, Lord Vedastus only suddenly began to gain power after drinking Ancestral Water, so did that mean that…
Thomas’s eyes brightened, and favonovel.com said, “There are two possibilities now.” The first one, being Ancestral Water, is just a smokescreen. It had nothing to do with the previous Lord Vedastus’s rise to power. The ancestral water bestowing favonovel.com such strength is all just but a tall tale cooked up for superstitious minds. The second possibility was that the Lord Vedastus developed the Heart Eater after drinking the Ancestral Water!”
Pisces felt as if his pores were open and chilly all over his body for unknown reasons. If it was the first possibility, it would not matter at all, but what if it was the second possibility?
Then there must be a special relationship between the Ancestral Water and the Heart Eater, and the Heart Eater has a deep relationship with the Plant Human.
Pisces rubbed his head with a bitter smile, “It’s too much with the Ancestral Water, Heart Eater, and Plant Human. My brain’s CPU is already overloaded, making it difficult to think. Tell me straight, Commander-in-Chief, whether the House of Vistaria has anything to do with the Heart Eater or not.”
Thomas spread his hands and said, ”I also don’t know. However, there must be a reason why the House of Vistaria has stood for hundreds of years without falling. It can’t be due to a local legend about the city’s luck.”
Indeed, in that era, basically, no one believed in these kinds of superstitious beliefs. But the House of Vistaria has the ability to persuade the entire Celandine City to believe in the existence of the city’s luck. There must be a reason for this.
Thomas picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, shaking his head and said, “City’s luck? You can even connect with the city’s luck? Seriously?”
For a moment, Thomas could not tell whether it was true or false. Celandine City was far more complicated than Thomas thought.
Thomas asked again, “By the way, you mentioned that Celandine City hosts an annual Duel of Luck. What is it that people are fighting for, exactly? What tactics did the people use to fight?”
Pisces awkwardly scratched his head and replied, “I have not figured this point out yet, I guess, it is similar to the Haka dance?”
Thomas said, “Go find out.”
Pisces asked, “Why? Commander-in-chief, are you also interested in this Duel of Luck?”
