Chapter 796 - Legacy of the Blood Emperor?
Tudor... Looking at the na on the tal plaque, Ebner pondered for a mont, then took out the Grade "1" Sealed Artifact he controlled, the "Mutated Tudor Emblem."
This emblem was obtained from beneath a cliff on Blue Mountain Island, near Bayam. It was a Beyonder item ford from the Fallen Count characteristic.
Furthermore, Ebner had already confird with Lilith that this emblem was brought out of the underground ruins where the Red Angel hid by Felipe... who was also Giuseppe Castiya, a senior transmigrator.
Ebner flipped the tal plaque over, with the blank side facing up, where there was conspicuously a man-made depression.
Placing the "Mutated Tudor Emblem" into the depression, the two instantly fit together perfectly.
This should be a set of emblem plates. Given that the tal plate wasn't taken into the Underworld, it might still retain the spiritual imprint of a certain powerful individual...
This imprint might even originate from the Blood Emperor himself!
Perhaps there's also so hidden secret...
Ebner weighed his options for a mont, then initiated an active "prophecy."
Soon, he received an revelation:
"Andal."
Andal? That sounds like a free city on the border between Intis and Segar. Although nominally belonging to Segar, it's actually an autonomous territory, serving as a buffer zone between the two nations.
Because this city borders the Sea of Fog to the west and the Andal Mountains to the east, it not only boasts abundant natural resources but also convenient transportation and low tax rates, making it a gathering place for adventurers, sowhat similar to Bayam's positioning.
Recalling the relevant information he had read during his Polymath phase, Ebner speculated that this emblem plate might be a key item for a Tudor ruin.
And during the "War of the Four Emperors," the Tudor Empire was established on what is now Intis's land, so it makes sense for a ruin to be left there...
Furthermore, according to the original work, the declining Pound family was a branch of the Tudor family that changed its na to escape pursuit. It's highly probable that they brought this plate and emblem to Backlund...
They must have thought the emblem was the "key" to the underground ruins on Williams Street? They simply looked in the wrong place... No wonder that family t such a tragic end.
However, how did that Gatekeeper get hold of the "plate" that might carry the Blood Emperor's spiritual imprint? And why was he chasing Hazel's tal arm when he lost control?
As Ebner's thoughts spun, Hazel also ca closer. She glanced at the plate and subconsciously read it aloud: "Alista Tudor?"
Miss, have you been spending too much ti with Xio that you've picked up her habit of reading everything aloud?
This is ancient Hers language with power, and it even carries the spiritual imprint of the na's owner. If I hadn't imdiately sealed it upon touching it, it would probably cause a huge commotion right now!
After grumbling inwardly for a few monts, Ebner intentionally put on a serious face and sternly admonished Hazel, then told her that the na belonged to the Blood Emperor.
Next, Ebner examined Hazel's tal arm, finding that the spirit within it seed to be fragnted souls kneaded together by Beyonder abilities, and it had developed a new personality, with nothing particularly special about it. He temporarily set this issue aside.
After all, Hazel was already a follower of the Earth Mother, and the tal arm was crafted by Chloe's husband, so there shouldn't be any safety concerns.
Having done all this, Ebner imdiately held a ritual, praying to the Evernight Goddess and reporting the incident, while also helping Klein ask if his arrangents for Daly and Dunn were feasible.
As soon as the ritual ended, Ebner saw two "circles" appear on the parchnt where he had written his prayers.
Circles? The first circle ans "understood the matter," and the second ans She approved Klein's plan? Hmm, as the Mother of Concealnt, for the Goddess to give such a "clear" reply, She's already showing
great favor...
Ebner nodded thoughtfully, then first tidied up the altar before releasing Mr. and Mrs. Macht, the servants, and the butler.
They were all ordinary people, and their spiritual bodies were unstable due to the influence of the Underworld's power, so they hadn't woken up yet.
This situation wasn't severe; after the Nighthawks perford an "appeasent," there should be no problem.
Since he was nominally still in Tosk City, Intis, to avoid exposing his "teleportation" ability, Ebner did not intend to et the Nighthawks here. So, after handing the bell for summoning his ssenger to Hazel and giving her a few instructions, he once again perford a "Spirit World Travel" and left.
Hazel put away the bell, sighed as she looked at the spot where Ebner had disappeared, and then returned to her parents' side to await the arrival of the Nighthawks.
Soon, a team led by Ms. Daly arrived at "Elk Manor."
As a victim, Hazel concealed most of the facts, only stating that she barely managed to rescue her parents and family thanks to the tal arm crafted by the Earth Mother Church, but the main building of her manor was dragged into the Underworld.
Her words were half-truths, and the Nighthawks did not find anything amiss; instead, they deeply sympathized with her plight. Only Daly stared at the tal arm for a while, a thoughtful expression on her face.
And Hazel received a hint of "acting" feedback at this mont...
So it's not just money; deceiving others' sympathy and trust also counts as "fraud"?
.....
Pritz Harbor, in a certain basent.
A young man wearing a red-patterned robe, with his hood casually pulled up, was leisurely smoking a cigarette.
At this mont, he seed to sense sothing, and a mocking smile appeared on his face as he said, "Delusional to think you can trap
in that body with a plaque bearing a 'Tudor' spiritual imprint? If Alista were still alive, perhaps it would be possible, but he's been dead for almost two millennia now. How could he still have that ability?"
Before his words finished, a bloody gash suddenly opened on his left cheek, and a voice erged:
"Will you die if you don't boast? Who was it who cursed with such heartbreak after discovering that plaque?"
A mouth also appeared on the right cheek, echoing, "Exactly! Also, dici, can you please stop smoking? I don't want to experience anything that cos from the followers of the True Creator!"
"This is a man's favorite... Oh, I forgot, you two aren't proper n." dici grinned, but still extinguished the cigarette.
After all, with mouths on both cheeks, he couldn't smoke anymore.
"I wonder who set up this ga... Otherwise, how could that 'Unaging Demoness' have so coincidentally found Alista's plaque and given it to the 'Gatekeeper' she found...
"Wanting to use
to get rid of the person controlling her, and then use this setup to counteract ?
"Tsk tsk, ticulously calculated, but I'm not going to play with her anymore.
"However, no matter who is scheming behind the scenes, it will surely benefit ... As long as they don't try to control
with petty tricks anymore, being used by them is fine, after all, this is likely aid at that paranoid fellow!"
Before dici's words finished, both cheeks spoke in unison:
"It's our benefit!"
