278: Chapter 276: Fully Confessing Everything_1 278: Chapter 276: Fully Confessing Everything_1 Calvin chuckled bitterly, sighed and said, “I knew this day would co.
Please Lord Algernon, give so dignity and let dress properly.”
“Fine,” Owen Bertram replied coldly, feeling strange in his heart: is this fellow really dirty?
Did he know early on that the Horizon Bureau would co for him?
I was just unhappy and wanted to scare you.
Calvin slowly put on his clothes, tidied up his appearance, straightened his official hat in front of the mirror, and then took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out proudly.
He bowed his fist to Owen Bertram, “Don’t involve others, I’ll go with you, it’s all my own business.”
Owen Bertram sneered, “You say it’s you alone, so it’s you alone?
How many people are involved, we’ll know when the Horizon Bureau speaks!”
Calvin’s face changed, and he scolded, “It’s because of you people who only seek selfish interests that our court has beco like this!
I have admitted my guilt, they are just so small officials in the governnt office, there is nothing to gain from them.
Why not be kind and spare them?”
Owen Bertram continued to hold his arms coldly, neither gloomy nor clear, and said, “Lord Tao is a good official, caring about his subordinates like this?
Hehe, now that you can’t even save yourself, don’t worry too much.
Start with your own story, are you going to confess or do I need to remind you?”
Calvin sighed, “No need, I’ll do it myself.”
Owen Bertram was secretly pleased that his official position in the Horizon Bureau was progressing rapidly, and his tactics of extracting confessions were exceptional!
In fact, Calvin gave in easily after just a few words.
“As an official appointed by the Imperial Court, I shouldn’t have practiced evil techniques.
It was just that I saw the hardships of the people, the rampant of demons and demon ghosts, and had no power to punish them.
I was troubled and unwittingly went down the wrong path!”
Owen Bertram was still waiting for him to continue, not expecting Calvin to be finished.
“That’s it?”
Calvin sighed again, “At the Mountain God Temple outside the West Gate, you ca looking for , and you must know about this place, so please go and find it on your own.”
Owen Bertram stared at him, “Calvin, you’re not honest!”
On the contrary, Calvin was puzzled, “What does Lord Algernon an by that?”
“Just practicing so-called evil techniques?
What about the other things, do you want to remind you?
If I really say it, it’ll be an additional cri!”
Calvin was lost, “What else is there?
I really don’t know, please Lord Algernon remind .”
“You…” Owen Bertram was not reminded, and at the sa ti, he felt frustrated.
This fellow was so open and frank that he thought he had committed a big cri, just practicing “evil techniques”?
Owen Bertram thought about it and asked, “When did you start practicing this evil technique, how did you start, how far have you reached, and confess honestly!”
Calvin said, “About three months ago, I ca to Casterly County to take up my post.
Because…
I missed the lodging due to my shyness, I arrived at the Mountain God Temple just as night fell.
I thought that if I rushed to the County Town, the city gate would be closed, so I stayed at the temple for the night.”
“I was reading under the lamplight in the middle of the night, but I unknowingly fell asleep.
A divine spirit appeared in my dream, guiding to practice, and I unwittingly fell into evil ways, unable to extricate myself.”
“Since then, I found that my body is much stronger, and my strength far exceeds ordinary people.
If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have been able to hold on during my first ti in office.”
“So I went to the Mountain God Temple every night, absorbing that blood light to strengthen myself and hoping to have the power to shock the world one day.
If disaster cos, I can at least protect the peace of one side.”
Owen Bertram nodded, then asked in detail, “How exactly do you practice that evil technique?”
Calvin did not hide it either, and explained in detail the practice of using that pale red light, even the route of the practice within the body.
Owen Bertram thought about it while listening, and indeed, it was quite different from the current cultivation thod – not the transportation thod of spiritual energy cultivation, but a refining thod.
After Calvin finished talking, he looked at Owen Bertram and said, “It’s really just , and no one else in the County Governnt Office knows.
They still think I’m just a weak scholar.”
“Now that things have co to this, Calvin knows that there is no luck, but asks Lord Algernon to go around those innocent people.”
Owen Bertram turned and walked away, hands behind his back, “Follow .”
Calvin followed, and then felt increasingly baffled: the road Owen Bertram walked was the sa one he took every night to go to the Mountain God Temple.
Sure enough, Owen Bertram took him and stood under the statue of the Mountain God Temple.
Calvin stood by as Owen Bertram did not speak, tried various thods, wanting to provoke that pale red spiritual light, but all failed.
He gently raised his hand, and the statue of the Mountain God and the altar below it silently shattered!
Calvin’s eyelids jumped, wasn’t this strength what he had longed for, capable of protecting the people in tis of crisis!
Calvin deeply hated: there are no shortage of powerful people in my dynasty, but unfortunately, they don’t use it on the right path.
Owen Bertram separated his hands and pushed the shattered objects around with the air, revealing the ground underneath.
He then reached down and pulled a large pit out of the ground.
He digged with one palm after another, and when he reached a depth of about seven or eight feet, a dark red stone was exposed below.
Owen Bertram waved to Calvin, “Co here.”
Calvin went over to take a look, “Is this the body of that evil god?”
Boom!
He got slapped on the head and Calvin, in pain, looked even more puzzled at Owen Bertram.
Owen Bertram scolded, “Stupid!”
“There’s no such thing as an evil god.”
“If there really was an evil god, could it have made no reaction to my actions?”
Calvin thought so too.
If it really was an evil god, could it tolerate the destruction of its statue?
“So this is…” Calvin was puzzled.
“You, you’re really lucky.” Owen Bertram sighed.
He didn’t envy but felt a bit emotional.
It’s really impossible to explain the Cultivation World.
When Calvin kneeled under the Mountain God statue to practice in the red light, Owen Bertram guessed that this was an ancient technique of refining bloodlines!
After Joseph Gourd ntioned this practice thod last ti, Owen Bertram had asked David and Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow about it.
This thod had long been lost, not because it was bad, but because later generations could not practice it.
Whether it was the human race or the demon clan, bloodlines would naturally beco thinner with each generation, making it more difficult to refine Sacred Blood and resulting in a much slower practice speed compared to other thods.
Since no one practiced it, the thod was gradually lost.
But Calvin’s situation was obviously different.
That dark red stone instilled refined bloodlines into his body.
This was even faster than the original thod of refining Sacred Blood.
Owen Bertram marveled in secret: the magma is an ancient Sacred Blood, which has extracted high-level treasures and is now mixed together and can’t be separated.
So for Little Loach, it’s just a “nutrient-rich” drink.
But after the dark red stone, it returned to pure Sacred Blood.
Of course, for Little Loach, even if it is Sacred Blood, there is no difference, it is still just a “drink”.
