Chapter 250: Other Than You, The Rest Are Illiterate?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since Lea opened his mouth to ask her on his own, Gu ngng obviously was not standing on ceremony anymore. She touched her chin and asked with a doubtful expression, “Since you can deduce the five venues from the records, why did the people in Sauder still keep it a secret from the entire world how to find the ssenger of the Beast Deity? Why didn’t they just stay and wait at those venues?”
Lea chuckled, then tapped Gu ngng’s head and said, “Do you think that anyone can understand what’s in those ancient books?”
Gu ngng blinked her eyes, asking, “Huh? In Sauder, other than you, the rest are illiterate and can’t read at all?”
Lea shook his head and said, “We don’t have to learn to read the words in those ancient books because since we were born, our respective Fathers will teach us everything, one sentence by one sentence. Everyone in Sauder’s royal family has morized the content in the ancient books thoroughly. However, knowing it doesn’t equal to understanding it, and understanding it doesn’t equal to utilizing it.”
Gu ngng still could not understand but she did not know where to start asking from.
Lea tidied his own emotions slightly and then used a thod that Gu ngng could better understand him to explain, “When the last leader of Sauder was still on the throne, my father was the tribe’s witch doctor. He knew everything about prayers, healing and all the deduction thods written in the ancient books. And he, only taught because if nothing happens, I’ll carry on his legacy as the next witch doctor. I would have gone with the ssage the last ssenger of the Beast Deity left and welco the new ssenger to Sauder to allow the history distorted by the tribe leader a thousand years ago to turn true. But accidents... always catch us off guard. I, the only one who can deduce the content, was banished out of Sauder and nobody in the entire tribe knows how the new ssenger of the Beast Deity would arrive. The only way was for them to search all over the place, just like searching for a specified tree leaf in the vast and imnse forest- it just proves to be futile, eventually.”
Gu ngng nodded her head, not fully understanding Lea but at least she accepted his explanation. Although Lea obviously described many details in ambiguity, everyone had secrets they did not wish to tell others. So past were like undergarnts, even if it was worn on our bodies, we would still be unwilling to show it to others.
Out of respect, Gu ngng did not insist on knowing more details and just waited for Lea to continue talking.
Lea was very grateful for Gu ngng’s consideration as this allowed him to have a tiny space to breathe. Lea breathed in deeply and then continued, “The arrival of the ssenger is not a small matter and it can’t be hidden for an entire lifeti. So, before you ca, Elvis and I had a plan to... improve our teamwork and upgrade our skills, working together to beco the best partners. When the ssenger of the Beast Deity arrives, we’ll devote our loyalty to her and Elvis will beco her First Partner while I’ll stay as a family mber in the ssenger’s family to assist Elvis by protecting her and... keeping her in Saint Nazaire.”
Gu ngng was taken aback and she lowered her head slowly. She straightened her body and distanced herself from Elvis’s chest.
Despite the fire still going strong in the cave, Gu ngng could feel a freezing sense of chill. She did not look into anyone’s eyes and just said plainly, “So, from the start, both of you... had a motive when you two got closer to , right?”
Elvis was shocked and he finally realized what trouble his ‘this kind of life’ which he blurted out had caused. He wanted to salvage the situation, but he realized that he did not even have any confidence to say a simple word of ‘no’.
When he entered the deep part of the cave to the lake initially... wasn’t he aiming for the identity of the ‘ssenger of the Beast Deity’ from the start?
