~9 min read 1,787 words

"Papers are really boring... Father even went to that island in person, it's just that I had already become a soul at that time, so I don't know much."

The girl recalled the past events of a hundred years ago and continued to float around. Xia De asked:

"Then did he leave any records about that island?"

The girl nodded vigorously:

"Of course, father would record any of his experiments and exploration actions. He thought this was a good habit. Are you looking for that record? Let me think, that was a long time ago."

She floated around Drut Giles's head in circles, which looked even weird in the eyes of Xia De who could see souls.

But fortunately, after turning thirteen circles, the girl remembered:

"Father's early experimental records and exploration logs, if they weren't placed in the basement library of the old house, should be in the basement of the town cemetery. Haven't you discovered the sealed space under the cemetery yet? Some records that father thought were of little value were buried there. Father still had a sense of ritual."

She never resented her father, even when talking about Laplace Howard now, she was still very proud.

So Xia De returned to the Green Lake Hotel again, but this time when he walked out of the basement of the hotel on the island, he saw Megan sitting at a table on the first floor of the hotel reading a book at a glance.

She turned to look when she heard footsteps, and seeing that it was indeed Xia De, she smiled:

"I heard you came to the island, so I rushed over directly. I was originally worried that I wouldn't meet you, it seems we really have a tacit understanding."

"Megan, did you rush over from the Milson Principality?"

Xia De walked over and hugged the brown-haired girl, who smiled and nodded, also hugging Xia De and not letting him leave:

"Of course, although the headquarters of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals is not on the front line of Pantanal, the company's business was ultimately affected by the war. Seeing that this great war doesn't know when it will end, the subsequent arrangements are naturally very complicated."

Green Lake Island is also the border between the two countries, and here is also the front line once the war starts, so she hasn't thought about moving Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals here for the time being:

"Although I don't have the ability to open ultra-long-distance teleportation portals like Sylvia, it's very easy to return to this island of the family. Let's go, what are you going to do? I'll accompany you, I always envy Galina at this time, she can be by your side almost every day. If Audrey and I had such an opportunity, we..."

Xia De had been to the cemetery of Green Lake Town many times, and now although some of the thick fog on the island remained, it would no longer let those special undead appear.

According to the information given by Rast Edwards, the two soon discovered a dark room under a nameless tombstone in the corner of the cemetery. I don't know what means Laplace Howard used, even Xia De's 【Enhanced Space Perception】 couldn't probe this place. But considering the other party's identity as a "candidate of space," this is not very strange.

"The more things you experience, the more you feel that the ancestor of your family is really amazing."

Xia De sighed while walking down the stone steps, Megan smiled and didn't answer.

The underground space is not large, or rather, it was not intended for people to stay for a long time. After Xia De and Megan stood together, even if Audrey wanted to come out, it would appear a bit crowded here.

However, the library located in the sea of stars still emerged from behind Xia De. When Megan looked at those handwritten records under the light of the silver moon, Xia De reached out:

"I want all the information about Fatu Monster Island."

This time there was no accident. After all the documents on the stone bookshelf trembled to resist Xia De's power, with two swoosh sounds, two brown kraft paper document bags flew in front of Xia De.

The contents of the document bags were paper, clippings, and photos, which were all ordinary items, and there were no ancient secrets recorded in them, so Xia De and Megan each took one and browsed the contents with "speed reading."

The one Xia De held was the thinner one. After all, Audrey's head poked out from behind Megan's shoulder, and the two girls read together, which was much faster than Xia De.

Although it was a bit cramped here, they could cast spells to make the paper and photos float. After more than twenty minutes, they finished reading all the content. Xia De spoke first:

"The document I have in my hand is Laplace Howard's preliminary investigation record of Fatu Monster Island. He was interested in that island before he defected and left the association. The association has always known that the island and the snowy mountain are unusual, but with the Fatu people, they couldn't investigate on a large scale.

Laplace Howard collected enough information while working at the association, and after defecting and settling on this island, he investigated and learned about the last place where the ancient god 'Mr. Ring' descended. The document bag contains reports about the 'pilgrims' mentioned by Luweiya's divination, but the era is long ago, and the information he collected is not much.

He found some burial grounds of pilgrims returning from the snowy mountain, and then got information about the 'treasure'. He also knew that there are 'invisible areas' in the snowy mountain, and believed that the final destination of those 'pilgrims', which is the end point where the treasure was buried, is in some 'invisible area'.

But before he went to that island, he probably didn't know the specific location of the end of the pilgrimage route, he wanted to find it himself."

Xia De summarized as simply as possible, followed by the summary of Megan and Audrey:

"The information in the document bag I read are all records left by the ancestor during his investigation on Fatu Monster Island. That era did not have cameras with mature technology like today, the photos should have been left using thought-writing.

Because of the association's wanted order for him, he used a very complicated method to go to the island. Then he pretended to be a tourist and looked for the traces left by the pilgrims on the island. The ancestor was a 13th-Ring seer. Sometimes he didn't need clear clues, just some vague inspiration to discover things that normal people couldn't see."

Megan sighed after saying this:

"This ability is really convenient, but it seems that no one in the family has inherited this divination talent."

Xia De said:

"But aren't you two sisters having better talent? Unique, and it's impossible for it to appear again."

"Yes, yes, and you like this talent very much."

Megan gave him a look full of style and continued:

"The ancestor didn't record his pilgrimage process like a diary. However, he did have detailed observation notes and photos of the 'invisible areas' in the snowy mountain. He found it, yes, these records clearly wrote that he finally found the treasure, but he didn't take anything back in the end."

Seeing Xia De look over in surprise, Megan nodded again:

"The ancestor should have no need to lie here. After all, he couldn't predict that we would stand here and watch this kind of thing. At the end of the investigation record, he wrote like this—

【I am honored to be able to walk to the end of this pilgrimage road along the path of ancient pilgrims as a seer.

I imitated the ancient seers and placed an item I possessed here. I saw many valuable items here, but I didn't acquire any of them, because I had already obtained the most precious one.】"

"What did he get?"

Xia De asked, Megan gave her own thoughts:

"Although the ancestor didn't write it, I guess it is two aspects: on the one hand, walking on the pilgrimage road of ancient seers, for the ancestor who had already reached the 13th Ring, it must have had different inspiration; on the other hand, I can almost be sure that the ancestor's research on the mysterious areas of the snowy mountain became the key to his later research on the secrets of Green Lake Island, and even the research on 'Edwards' Ascension Technique'."

Megan let all the floating documents fly back to the document bag automatically:

"Unknowable-level relics are so dangerous. With the ancestor's talent, he could completely obtain what he wanted through his own efforts, so even if he saw and recognized the 【Fate Pedestal】 at that time, it is possible that he didn't touch it at all."

Xia De nodded gently:

"But we still have to find the 'treasure location' in the end. Did he leave a map? How to enter the invisible area? Wait until the stars reach the appropriate position, or need special methods, or just rely on luck?"

Megan was very regretful about this:

"The ancestor gave a hint. Although the inside of the invisible area will not change, the method of entering that area, every seer has their own way—this is the so-called fate will always lead people to a fixed end.

The map left by the traitor priest you mentioned on the way here should be an internal area map, but to enter there, we need a sorcerer with divination talent to find the way."

"Luweiya, Beiya, and Matilda and a group of girls under Beiya can all do it."

Xia De summarized, and then thought:

"There is also Angelina, Luweiya said she also has divination talent."

Megan nodded:

"That's probably it. Although there is no fixed path to enter that area, the ancestor still left some methods. The document bag is for you, find someone to try it slowly. But if you really find it, remember to see what the ancestor left there at that time.

Speaking of which, I have always been curious, with Luweiya's talent, why not support her to become a Chosen One? Although I don't have any evidence, I can be sure that Luweiya must be a candidate."

(End of this chapter) ===== CHAPTER 3401 =====

Come to think of it, I have actually always been curious, with Luvia's talent, why don't you support her in becoming a Chosen One? Although I don't have any evidence, I am certain that Luvia must be a candidate."
