Thomas successfully used the Five Elements to suppress the five Ancestral Eyes and put out the fire on the five pillars!
He had succeeded!
Thomas could hardly hide the happiness in his eyes. Even though favonovel.com tried not to show his emotions, favonovel.com could not help but look excited, with his huge success. It was normal human nature.
“Congratulations, Thomas,” Declan said. “The Ancestral Water is now yours.”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com saw something like a display screen appear above the Temple. Then, an ancient creature like a black dragon flew around on the screen.
So, that was the so-called Luck?
After Declan saw Luck, favonovel.com lowered his head and knelt down on one knee. He was sincere.
“Wow! Someone has taken the Five Elements and opened the seal! You have the right to talk to me now.”
The voice was coming from the display screen.
It looked like a real dragon was talking. But actually, everyone knew that somebody else had to be talking behind the scenes. Right then, the real mastermind had to be watching Thomas from somewhere in the world, talking to Thomas using a voice changer.
It was also impossible for anyone to believe that a dragon would speak.
Thomas took a deep breath and said, “Your Honor, I’m Thomas Mayo. I’ve put in effort in getting the Five Elements to put out the burning pillars, and I only have one purpose, which is to get the Ancestral Water!”
After Luck heard that, favonovel.com replied, “I’ll present the Ancestral Water to anyone who can put out the burning pillars. But Thomas, do you know what the Ancestral Water truly symbolizes?”
Thomas lowered his head. “Please enlighten me…”
Luck said, “Okay, listen to me, the Ancestral Water has its benefits and downsides.”
Firstly, the benefits…
Anyone who drank the Ancestral Water would be qualified to conquer Celandine City. No matter what method the person used, favonovel.com would not be stopped as long as favonovel.com did not endanger Luck, and Luck would not apply any restrictions to favonovel.com either.
This person could even take down the former tyrant and make himself the ruler of Celandine City. He could act beyond the law!
Naturally, it depended on whether favonovel.com was capable enough to achieve that. Luck would not stop him, but Luck would obviously not help favonovel.com either.
That was the benefit of drinking the Ancestral Water. If one did not drink the Ancestral Water but wanted to take down Lord Vedastus and replace favonovel.com as the ruler, Luck would not agree with it. Luck would support Lord Vedastus without letting anyone else replace him.
In other words, drinking the Ancestral Water meant receiving the qualification to compete for Celandine City!
His skills would determine whether favonovel.com could be successful later. The so-called benefits might seem useless to normal people, but it was irresistible to top bigwigs.
After Thomas learned about the benefits, favonovel.com wanted to know what the downsides were.
Thomas asked, “So, what’s the disadvantage of drinking the Ancestral Water?”
Since there were so many benefits, there had to be a huge disadvantage.
Luck’s answer proved Thomas’ guess.
The black dragon on the screen flew around once before it stopped. It stared at Thomas with a flashing purple glow in its eyes and slowly said, “The Ancestral Water isn’t normal water. It’s made of Luck’s marrow! If you drink the Ancestral Water, it’ll mean sacrificing your soul to Luck. From then on, Luck will be your master, and you’ll obey Luck for the rest of your life…”
“Your life no longer belongs to you. Your life belongs to Luck.”
In other words, if favonovel.com drank the Ancestral Water, favonovel.com would be Luck’s lackey for the rest of his life!
Luck would call the shots on his life and death.
Thomas shook his head slightly. He chuckled in resignation and said, “That’s a huge disadvantage.”
