Jack bowed to the old man, full of respect. He said sincerely, “Old man, could you tell me why this place was left behind? What was going on in that scene I had just witnessed?”
The old man did not turn around to look at Jack, nor did favonovel.com answer Jack’s question directly. He merely replied plainly, “You’ll know in the future.”
Jack’s lips twitched. At that moment, favonovel.com really wanted to ask all the questions in his heart. However, favonovel.com was worried that the old man would find it strange if favonovel.com poured out everything just like that.
Then if the old man would suspect him, it might even cause favonovel.com to lose everything. So, all favonovel.com could do was temporarily hold back his curiosity.
The old man did not know what Jack was thinking about. He merely continued to say, “The box in your hands still requires a key. The key is at the Wild Gorge Pass.
If you want to open the box, you have to head there. Then, I’ll send you off.”
Jack raised his eyebrows. His heart was filled with even more confusion. What was the Scarlet Case? Where was the Wild Gorge Pass? There was still a key?
Those questions muddled in Jack’s mind before favonovel.com suddenly remembered something.
He recalled what the old voice had said when favonovel.com was on the Divine Void Slope.
The old man said that the most valuable thing favonovel.com had obtained was still locked in a box.
The box could not be opened at the moment, it still required a key. Was the Scarlet Case the most valuable box in the storage ring?
Just as favonovel.com was about to ask if his thoughts were correct, the old man continued, ”
Whether you can obtain the ring or not, you’ll still have to go. Don’t think or care about anything else. With your current abilities, knowing is useless. Once you open the Scarlet Case, you’ll know everything!”
Jack was incredibly confused. Even though the old man had told favonovel.com that favonovel.com would know all the secrets after opening the box, Jack still felt like something was wrong. How could favonovel.com know if favonovel.com would bring calamity onto himself by opening the Scarlet Case?
Would something else happen? Though the old man did not seem like an ordinary person, favonovel.com could not be sure that the old man would not harm him, even though Jack was probably insignificant to the man.
The old man continued, “Everything you saw earlier really did happen. As for what the two of them were talking about, you’ll find out the truth after you open the Scarlet Case.
“You don’t have to investigate at all. All those questions in your heart will be answered eventually.”
Jack frowned. At that moment, favonovel.com really wanted to say something. However, the old man’s words had completely stifled anything favonovel.com could say.
He had been very clear. There was no point in knowing anything at that moment.
Even if favonovel.com asked, the old man would probably not answer. All the questions at the back of his mind had been pushed back to after favonovel.com opened the Scarlet Case.
Then, there would be no more secrets. He would get all the answers favonovel.com wanted. Another sigh was heard. The old man finally turned around, and his eyes fell on Jack.
He appraised Jack, “You’re the most suitable one after so many years. You already have the thing, the restrictions of the realm will be opened!” Jack was still just as confused as favonovel.com was before. Yet, the old man’s last words made his heart jump.
