Chapter 3035: Peeling the Cocoon
Morilan promised again and again that as long as they helped him solve this matter, he would gift that gemstone to Su Xiao.
That gemstone had been seen by Bennie. It was an Immortal-grade gemstone with a rating of 1496 points. Its attributes were very suitable for Dragon Flash, and this was something Bennie had found after searching for a long time.
After Su Xiao sorted out Morilan's fragmented and messy description in his brain, he basically confirmed that the problem lay in the old house in the 'Old King City'.
Morilan's grandfather wanted to use that old house as a temporary residence to search for supernatural knowledge in the 'Old King City', but he stepped on a mine before he even started.
In reality, Morilan's grandfather first wanted to obtain supernatural power through the Kodo School, but after witnessing the way the Kodo School obtained supernatural power, that old gentleman didn't sleep well for several days.
After Morilan's family had an accident, Morilan himself also sought help from the Kodo School for the first time. The Kodo School, which had collected 'taxes' from Morilan's family for many years, did send people. After an investigation, the opinion given was to let Morilan abandon that old house.
Actually, there was no need to go back. The old house had been blown up by the Kodo School, and they warned Morilan that if he wanted to live, he shouldn't continue to investigate this matter.
Morilan was not a person who didn't listen to advice. Originally, he intended to live a mediocre life, but the excessive bad luck made him fearful. He suspected that even if he didn't starve to death, he would choke to death while drinking water one day.
There were not many things Morilan could take out, only that gemstone left. He didn't fear poverty. The business talent he had been influenced by since childhood, as long as he was given some opportunity, he could rise again. The problem was that he was too unlucky.
Relying on the only valuable gemstone in his hand, Morilan found the Kodo School. It had to be said that although the Kodo School sometimes didn't do things honorably, for Morilan, the descendant of a merchant who had paid taxes to them for many years, they didn't show any dishonorable side.
The Kodo School contacted Benny; they didn't tell Morilan much, only that if he couldn't even resolve these people, he should come to the Kodo School to be a penance monk, guaranteeing he wouldn't starve to death.
Su Xiao already understood the situation. Morilan wanted to solve nothing more than the following things.
1. What exactly did his grandfather encounter.
2. The matter of his wife's pregnancy, as well as the true cause of death, and why she said something was drilling in her body before she died.
3. Morilan's own luck problem (this point was the most critical).
A gold coin appeared in Su Xiao's hand, flipping between his fingers. If it were in the past, he would need to go to the ruins of the old house to investigate, but now it was no longer needed.
"Bennie, go to the Kodo School..."
Just as Su Xiao was about to let Bennie go to the Kodo School to get the records about this matter, Bennie took out an oil-paper bag from its small storage space, having prepared it in advance.
Su Xiao opened the oil-paper bag, took out the yellowed paper inside and flipped through it. There were illustrations on it, drawn by hand.
"Ancient God Child Birth Incident? Was it done by the Soul Bell Tower?"
"Meow."
Bennie added a sound. It had first learned about this matter with Morilan, so it had read this file in advance, and then went to the Kodo School to understand it in detail, and met the priest who was responsible for handling this matter that year.
Did Bennie only do these? Not really. Bennie, after obtaining Morilan's own consent, went to the outskirts of 'Dank City', hired people to dig up the corpse of Morilan's wife, and then spent 138 Lang of crystal fat to re-arrange a decent funeral, even changing the coffin to the best one.
Besides these, Bennie also let Amu act as a bodyguard, accompanied it to the Old King City, dug open the old house that had turned into ruins, and took many photos in the second basement.
Su Xiao took the first stack of photos handed by Bennie. On it was the corpse of Morilan's wife.
"Your wife didn't die."
Su Xiao threw the photos aside and asked Bennie with his eyes if they had dug the wrong grave. Bennie firmly indicated that they definitely hadn't dug the wrong one. It was Morilan himself who led the way, and the style of the coffin had been confirmed. It was the 'sliding cover coffin' commonly used in this world.
Please don't laugh. This was a very serious matter. The sliding cover coffin was to insert the coffin lid into the wooden grooves on both sides inside the coffin, which was harder to bump open from the inside. Sometimes, the deceased also had a very low probability of being corrupted, thus developing into a whole family being neat and tidy.
"This is impossible. I confirmed it. My wife had no breath, and that monster died after drilling out of my wife's abdomen."
Morilan was very excited, but there was a trace of fear hidden in his eyes.
"A mother who can nurture an Ancient God child has more tolerance than you imagine. If you want her to die, at least you have to slash her head off. What surprises me is, why didn't you die?"
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Morilan was full of shock.
"Your wife loved you more than you imagine. She should be a member of the Soul Bell Tower now, and her status is not low. You didn't die because of this point. She accepted the invitation of the Soul Bell Tower. As a return, the Soul Bell Tower cannot move you.
You are the only survivor of the 'Second Ancient God Child Descent Incident'. Those scholars who like to cut brains will make two choices: one, let you shut up forever; two, cut your prefrontal lobe."
Hearing this remark from Su Xiao, Morilan felt a trembling sensation from the depths of his hair. This world was far more dangerous than he imagined. There were too many terrifying and dark things hidden below.
Su Xiao threw down the photos in his hand and said to Baha:
"Baha, go find Bishop Noe."
"Alright."
Baha flew out of the window. Hearing Su Xiao's words, Morilan on the side had a stunned expression. He knew Bishop Noe and had the fortune to meet that big shot once.
Ten minutes later, Bishop Noe pushed the door and entered. He had just woken up. It was hard for this old man. Since Su Xiao came to 'Dank City', he had been suffering from insomnia. Today, the matter of the Heretic Execution Squad was settled, and he finally could sleep peacefully. As a result, he hadn't slept for long when Baha came to find him.
"Bishop Noe, I am Morilan. Do you still remember me?"
Morilan wanted to step forward to shake hands, but could only stand cautiously in place. The Kodo School had grace to him, but the person's status was too high.
"You..."
Bishop Noe was confused in his heart. He really didn't remember who this person was. His gaze turned to Su Xiao, and he guessed that this should be a guest Su Xiao found.
"Are you Morilan? Long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Bishop Noe's old face smiled, taking the initiative to shake Morilan's hand, and his other hand patted Morilan's shoulder, which made Morilan feel a surge of excitement.
In reality, Morilan had already noticed that Bishop Noe had forgotten who he was, but such a big shot was very enthusiastic to him, which was enough. Thinking wildly about other things was looking for trouble for himself. Respect was never given by others, but fought for by oneself.
"White Night, what's the matter with finding this old man? I just fell asleep and was woken up by you. You have to give me mental compensation."
Bishop Noe sat down and poured himself a cup of light tea. They were all old acquaintances, and they were on the same boat, so there was no need to be polite.
"There is something to ask you..."
Su Xiao briefly narrated the situation, and Bishop Noe's eyes showed contemplation. He was recalling the situation of the Soul Bell Tower. As old rivals, they of course understood each other.
"During that period you mentioned, there were indeed several female members who joined the Soul Bell Tower. Among them, the one with the highest status was... Elcina? It was that woman, right. She had a mole on her right eyebrow and always covered the lower half of her face with black cloth. I fought with her. At that time, I regretted that such a high Ancient God energy adaptability wasn't discovered by us to be used as a Goddess..."
Bishop Noe's words stopped halfway. Goddess Shataye was praying in the hotel. If he continued to speak, Bishop Noe might die.
Hearing Bishop Noe's narration, Morilan had an expression of seeing a ghost, collapsed from the chair, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Originally thinking he was the only one left alone, he suddenly learned that there was still a relative alive. This kind of mood was hard for outsiders to understand.
"Noe, how much do you know about the Ancient God child descent?"
"I don't know much. The Ancient God in the seal, with the help of the Soul Bell Tower, had tried twice to let human women nurture divine children. In this way, even if that Ancient God was in the seal, He could use the divine child as an incarnation to suck on this world from the outside. Simply understood, the divine child is a tool..."
Bishop Noe's words stopped halfway again, and Goddess Shataye cast her gaze over. If he continued to speak, he might die again. It was also hard for Bishop Noe, at his age, to wander between life and death twice in just a few minutes.
"Most of the people related to this matter are dead. I seem to remember that one person is still alive. The memory is very blurry. I'm old."
Bishop Noe revealed the nature of an old fox, preparing to take the opportunity to get some benefits. He only cooperated with Su Xiao and would not answer everything he was asked.
"Who."
While Su Xiao was speaking, he threw out a bottle of potion. The smile on Bishop Noe's face became even more brilliant, like an old chrysanthemum in full bloom.
"That person is... Fuen, the doctor in the Old King City." ===== CHAPTER 3036 =====
