"I really want to know why my trip to the Royal Capital changed from great fortune to an on of great misfortune!"
Gu Shanhai was sowhat flabbergasted; he hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.
"For now, it must be related to sothing I just acquired. The ’blank invitation’ can be excluded first, as it belongs to the ’First Epoch’ and is of a higher order than this world."
"Next would be the treasure map of a buried fate that the Fairy Travel rchant sold to , and the Destiny Stone I found myself."
As for it being brought by the Fairy Travel rchant? That was impossible. With Gu Shanhai’s strength, he couldn’t fathom the existence of such powerful beings who wandered the myriad realms. If he had been able to divine it, it wouldn’t have been Little Ji before, but great fortune.
"The greater likelihood is the Destiny Stone, followed by the treasure map. I have a feeling that sothing bad is afoot," Gu Shanhai said with a hint of resignation.
The change from great fortune to an on of great misfortune could only an that these two items were possibly involved in so major events. The previous on of great misfortune involved two legendary heroes of the future coming to assassinate him. Although the outco favored Gu Shanhai’s victory, it was a Pyrrhic one, leaving him seriously injured to the point of near fatality.
If he went to the Royal Capital, it was certainly going to be more dangerous, so he chose without hesitation to steer clear.
"Could it be that the Stone of Destiny is capable of interacting with my Destiny Stone in a way that could lead to so unintended behaviors or severe consequences?"
Gu Shanhai lacked any solid leads. He dove deeper into divination and prophecy, and saw himself being pierced through and killed by a Light Sword, which puzzled him.
"Light Sword·Flarglak... seeking revenge for his son Sethanda?" Gu Shanhai recognized the sword. Yes, it was an inferior replica of the Revenge Sword·Answer, owned by Kesba Sun.
"If I go to the Royal Capital, will he dare to strike at ?"
Kesba Sun’s wife was the sister of the King of Conche. It was highly probable she represented her kingdom in congratulating Atilis on his coronation in Calot Kingdom. Logically, she wouldn’t be sent over, as it could ruin the relations between the two kingdoms.
"It’s more likely he’s coming as a Druid and will seek to kill under so grand pretense. It’s a checkmate," Gu Shanhai quickly realized so critical points.
To kill him, it had to be done openly. An assassination or a hunt would provoke a retaliation from the native Druids, sothing Kesba couldn’t withstand because he wasn’t alone; he had a family. If he were a bachelor, he undoubtedly would have co to kill without hesitation.
"There are many justifications, so I really can’t avoid this."
Since he couldn’t avoid it, he simply wouldn’t go. If he had to choose between life and benefits, he would definitely pick the forr.
From his vision of death, he could see that no one was helping him and that he was in a palace. Unfortunately, due to the angle of death, he couldn’t see exactly where it was, only managing to notice so figures watching.
"It seems that I must have done sothing to warrant no one coming to my rescue."
Otherwise, how could Kesba possibly stall the five Druid Elders of the Impressed Order, along with Kurus Brass and Morico Polaris and their Returnees? Such an imnse force was sothing Kesba couldn’t match in terms of offering a deal or bearing the consequences.
These people were natural allies of Gu Shanhai and would definitely stand on his side, not to ntion Atilis.
Therefore, his assassination could only an he was in the way or had done sothing that necessitated his death and the others couldn’t intervene on his behalf.
"So, I guess it’s ti to hunt for treasure~" After abandoning the idea of going to the Royal Capital, Gu Shanhai took out the treasure map and prepared to hunt for treasure.
The Royal Capital urging him? It didn’t matter anymore. He simply needed to send a letter stating he had sudden matters to attend to, without ntioning his whereabouts or movents.
To avoid being targeted by the opposition.
"Minor misfortune yet accompanied by a fortune... Sigh, let’s just go see." Gu Shanhai divined once more, this ti focusing on the auspices of heading to the location of the treasure.
There was danger, but there was also the promise of gain.
"However, it seems that sothing is shielding it, preventing precise location of the site, and it appears to be a fair distance away."
Gu Shanhai assessed the situation on the map. The distance had already exceeded the boundaries of Calot Kingdom. Judging by his current speed, it would take at least a month’s travel.
"Forget it, let’s treat it as a retreat. I refuse to believe I can’t outlast them."
He was unaware if Kesba had already arrived at the Royal Capital, but he knew that he wouldn’t stay long. Could he stay for one or two months, let alone half a year?
Even if he wanted to stay, that would definitely cause unnecessary problems. If he were only a Druid, that wouldn’t be a problem, but unfortunately, he was more than just a Druid, which was rather awkward.
Theoretically, Gu Shanhai could wait for the other to leave, and he could return to the Royal Capital in great fortune. No chance! As long as he had the Destiny Stone on him, he wouldn’t go back.
"Not sure what could be buried in a treasure of fate." Having confird the direction, Gu Shanhai prepared to find a city to buy a mount.
If he had to travel on foot, it would be too troubleso. And to have Fierce General accompany him, that would defeat the purpose of biding ti instead of truly seeking the treasure.
