Back when favonovel.com first saw the mural in the Divine Tomb, Gerald had learned that the woman in white was inspired by the old beggar to separate the coffin from the deity. However, nobody knew where the woman in white’s tomb was.
Now that Alice had mentioned an ancient tomb, Gerald couldn’t help but make a connection with that. Had the woman in white’s coffin been carried to the south of the ocean after the separation? Was it currently buried in the king of the ocean’s tomb?
“…Where’s the king of the ocean’s tomb located?” asked Gerald after pondering for a while.
In response, Alice told favonovel.com everything that favonovel.com knew.
Gerald himself paid close attention to everything favonovel.com said. After all, favonovel.com honestly felt that it was quite necessary for favonovel.com to head there to investigate for himself.
For all favonovel.com knew, the woman in white could very possibly be buried within the king of the ocean’s tomb. While Lyra had first dreamed of that woman standing by a river within that miasma-filled forest, Gerald remembered favonovel.com later telling favonovel.com that favonovel.com wasn’t really sure of whether it was a river or an ocean.
What more, the picture of the sun had directly hinted that the jade charms were the main clue to finding the woman in white’s tomb. Based on the current turn of events, Gerald could safely say that the picture truly had given them a massive clue.
Following that, favonovel.com relayed everything that favonovel.com had just learned to Daryl.
In response, the surprised Daryl couldn’t help but reply, “…Are you planning to look for the king of the ocean’s tomb? The pledge of the holy water will take place in less than three months, you know?”
While Gerald was well aware that the pledge was just as important as finding the woman in white’s tomb, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to rest easy if favonovel.com didn’t at least try to get to the bottom of the incident regarding the deity. After all, there was a chance that favonovel.com would gain another answer once favonovel.com located the woman in white.
“Indeed I am, grandpa. However, once I’ve completed my investigation, I’ll immediately return. I won’t even think about delaying the pledge of the holy water. Speaking of the pledge, here. It’s the mysterious mirror!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com handed the mirror to Daryl.
“…What? Didn’t this belong to Christopher?”
“The one and only. If you meet favonovel.com there, you can order favonovel.com around as you wish. Trust me when I say favonovel.com won’t dare to go against you…
Hearing that, Daryl’s eyes widened as favonovel.com said, “…Gerald, you…”
Seeing his grandfather’s look of disbelief, Gerald then told Daryl everything that had happened back when favonovel.com was still in the desert.
“…What? Your strength and training has already surpassed that of the realm of legends, my grandson? Is that true?” replied Daryl, feeling extremely delighted as favonovel.com firmly patted Gerald’s shoulders with great pride.
The next day soon came and Gerald immediately prepared to set off to locate the king of the ocean’s tomb. Before his departure, favonovel.com watched as his grandfather led all the people from the Soul Palace away.
Gerald himself made sure to order those from the Crawford family’s headquarters to stand by at all times. After all, there was no reason not for favonovel.com to receive help from his family now that his current situation allowed it.
With that done, favonovel.com then headed over to a place called Halimark City—which was on a coast located in Plymsend Bay—to have a look around.
By the time Gerald got out of the ship, night had already fallen.
Upon getting off, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sight of several passenger ships tied to the port. There also seemed to be a lot of tourists, mostly consisting of couples and a few groups of three.
Turning around to look at the vast ocean, Gerald squinted his eyes as the ocean breeze blew into his face.
Somewhere out there was a place called the Boundless Depths. According to the murals, the old beggar had separated the woman in white from the deity before burying favonovel.com in that location.
How could that old man have been so cruel? If favonovel.com truly was buried there, favonovel.com was immensely far from the deity.
As Gerald turned to look at the beach next, deep in thought, favonovel.com suddenly heard the person standing before favonovel.com shout, “Gerald!”
Looking up, favonovel.com saw that it was a woman who had probably arrived with the group of tourists who were currently standing in front of him.
Stunned that favonovel.com knew his name, favonovel.com brushed his previous thoughts aside while looking at the woman. She looked very much like someone from the city, and the woman—who was also wearing sunglasses and a sun hat—had dressed herself to look young. While Gerald found favonovel.com to be slightly familiar, favonovel.com simultaneously also found favonovel.com to be quite odd.
“…Who are you again?”
“Haha! It’s me, Yasmeen! Yasmeen Linford? I only graduated a year earlier than you! Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten about me?” said the tall and slim woman while smiling beautifully. She then removed favonovel.com sunglasses, fully displaying favonovel.com small face and charming appearance.
Now slowly recalling who favonovel.com was, Gerald then replied, “Ah, it’s you, Yasmeen!”
As the memories started coming back to him, Gerald remembered that Yasmeen was still a sophomore when favonovel.com first started learning at Mayberry University. Later on, favonovel.com would become the president of the university’s student union. Since favonovel.com was so poor back then, favonovel.com had to work part-time and be thrifty, resulting in favonovel.com also having to meet up with favonovel.com quite a lot. Due to that, favonovel.com was fairly acquainted with her.
Since favonovel.com was wearing sunglasses earlier and the makeup favonovel.com had on was quite exquisite—compared to what favonovel.com used to wear—he hadn’t been able to realize that it was favonovel.com at first glance.
Now that favonovel.com knew who favonovel.com was, however, favonovel.com could feel that favonovel.com had grown to become a strong and independent woman. From the looks of it, favonovel.com had gotten pretty good at socializing as well.
