When the bright sky erodes the moon? Why would there even be a moon in the middle of a bright day? And why on earth would water flow in the opposite direction?
While Gerald found the first two sentences to be extremely peculiar, the last one was relatively easier to grasp.
It signified that someone was going to die once the golden flower fell to the ground.
“…Could that be referring to me…?” muttered Gerald to himself.
“It seems that even the sender’s level of training is difficult to pinpoint. Whoever it is, they seem to thoroughly understand everything… Could there really exist such a powerful person in the world?” added Daryl in disbelief.
“…Regardless, what about Gerald, dad? Since this mysterious yet powerful person sent such a note to Gerald, doesn’t that signify that the prophecy of the sun picture is most likely going to come true? What could all of this even mean?” asked Dylan anxiously.
“Hmm… Well, aside from the scroll we received, we don’t really have any other options to deal with the current situation. Since that person wants us to look for the eternal coffin, a wild guess would be that the coffin will be used to keep Gerald’s body intact should something truly happen to him. However, Gerald will die being torn to shreds according to the sun picture’s prophecy!” replied Daryl as favonovel.com shook his head.
“Again, we have no better options at the moment… Besides, based on the previous incidents, the person who’s been secretly helping us doesn’t seem to hold any animosity against us. Whatever the case is, the person seems to want you to locate the eternal coffin for a reason only favonovel.com knows. What do you think?” added Daryl.
“Heh, I won’t be living for much longer anyway so I may as well go look for it. Since I want to improve my strength to hopefully be able to truly become a great master anyway, this will be the perfect chance for me to head out and gain more experience. Should everything go smoothly, who knows, I may even be qualified to participate in the pledge of the holy water!” replied Gerald.
Gerald had a strong gut feeling that the pledge of the holy water was the key to unlocking the secrets of the Sun League. He simply felt that all the questions favonovel.com had would finally be answered once favonovel.com participated in the pledge.
Since favonovel.com was already a semi-great master, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com needed to train as much as favonovel.com possibly could in order to attain the title of a true great master. With any luck, once that happened, favonovel.com would still be able to participate in the pledge. The thought of that motivated favonovel.com to try his best. After all, if favonovel.com was able to uncover the Sun League’s secrets, then all this would be worthwhile, even if the prophecy of his death ended up becoming true.
“I see… Well, I guess it’s settled then. Then again, looking for the eternal coffin is the only thing we can do now,” said Daryl with a helpless sigh.
With that, all three of them chatted late into the night.
The very next day, all the members of the Crawford family gathered around a helicopter, ready to bid Gerald farewell.
Gerald himself was ready to depart.
Meanwhile, Welson was on the beach, busy giving orders to a few subordinates.
“Pay extra attention to everything that happens on the island! The lord said that it’s currently a critical moment for the Crawford family, so all of you have to be even more serious than you’ve ever been!”
After receiving their orders, Welson told them to leave before placing his hands against his back as favonovel.com stood by the beach, looking out at the vast ocean.
Recently, favonovel.com couldn’t help but constantly feel that something was wrong. Though things still appeared to be peaceful, favonovel.com always felt a lingering feeling that something major would happen soon.
That feeling was particularly strong the moment favonovel.com woke up today. It was so overbearing that favonovel.com felt both flustered and extremely anxious, even now.
As favonovel.com continued thinking about it while looking at the ocean, favonovel.com suddenly heard faint footsteps walking up to favonovel.com from behind.
“…Hmm? What’s the matter?” asked Welson as favonovel.com tilted his head slightly, thinking that it was one of his subordinates.
“Could this place be where the Crawford family lives?” asked an unexpectedly old-sounding voice.
Feeling his heart skip a beat, Welson immediately turned around, only to be greeted by a white-haired old man who was all skin and bones.
With his face filled with wrinkles, the old man had plain white clothes on and favonovel.com appeared to have lost an arm as well.
Despite how frail the old man looked, Welson couldn’t help but feel nervous.
‘How did favonovel.com even get here? And when did favonovel.com appear behind me?’
“…May I know who you are, sir? And why have you come to search for the Crawford family on this island?” replied Welson as favonovel.com bowed slightly, understanding that this old man was no ordinary person.
“I’m the great master… Christopher Moldell!”
