923: Chapter 478: Spare My Life_3 923: Chapter 478: Spare My Life_3 The spiritual dicine peddler ca from a small mountain village where a decade ago, a family of four started to rob travelers, making a fortune in the process.
Instead of being ashad, the villagers envied them!
Therefore, these bandits beca the leaders of the village, and everyone started this highly profitable business!
With the villagers’ covers, they easily deceived the rchant teams into staying in the village, where they drugged and killed them.
Their business thrived!
But within two years, they were exposed, and the local military officials wiped out the village under the pretext of eradicating bandits.
Adults, regardless of gender, were executed, and the children were made slaves.
The spiritual dicine peddler was one of those children.
At that ti, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with what his fellow villagers did.
They were poor and needed food.
The travelers and rchants had so much money, why couldn’t they share so with them?
If they refused, they had to find a way to take it themselves.
He harbored deep hatred towards the Wood Dynasty.
As soon as he grew up, he managed to escape by killing his guardian.
He continued his ancestors’ trade and eventually bribed the local officials to re-register as a free citizen, then started the spiritual dicine business.
During his business trips, he struck a deal with the Lester people and beca a sleeper agent.
He received the Irda Lady, arranged for accommodations at the spiritual dicine market’s inn, and discretely inquired about her purpose in visiting the Wood Dynasty.
It turned out, she had co to assassinate the Summit Commandant, Owen Bertram.
He was ecstatic, “Your Excellency, rest assured, I hate Owen Bertram with a passion, and I will do everything I can to aid you.
You can rest now, and I’ll go check the news.”
Why did the spiritual dicine peddler hate Owen Bertram?
Because under Owen Bertram’s administration, the lives of the people within the jurisdiction of the Summit tropolitan Office got steadily better.
And in the East Prison Town Comfort Office’s jurisdiction, the governance gradually turned clear and bright.
The spiritual dicine peddler couldn’t stand seeing these people live well.
Their village just wanted to live a better life, too, but they were slaughtered by the military.
Why could these people enjoy good lives?
However, after several days of making inquiries, there was no trace of Owen Bertram.
The peddler acted too suspiciously a few tis, almost getting caught by the Horizon Bureau.
Irda Lady was also surprised, as soone of Owen Bertram’s rank should not be this untraceable.
She stopped relying on the peddler and decided to search the Prescott Group in Looking Cloud Cliff herself during a star-filled night.
She found nothing.
The next morning, the spiritual dicine peddler ca early and excitedly said, “Your Excellency, I have a brilliant idea that will surely force Owen Bertram out.”
“Go on.”
“The Wood Dynasty’s Emperor is nearby; as long as you kill the Emperor, Owen Bertram will surely co running, regardless of where he is.
Even if you don’t have ti to kill Owen Bertram, if the Emperor dies within his jurisdiction, he and his family will definitely be implicated.”
Irda Lady was a fighter but not a fool.
As a foreign agent with the power of the Seven Mountains attempting to assassinate the Wood Dynasty’s Emperor, even if she be lucked out and succeeded, she would never make it out of the Wood Dynasty alive.
She wasn’t ready to serve her God just yet.
However, the peddler’s “brilliant idea” did spark another idea.
After that morning, the spiritual dicine peddler never saw Irda Lady again.
Within ten days, dozens of villages surrounding the Summit tropolitan Office constructed crude “Fire of the Stars” temples!
With Irda Lady’s strength and charisma, along with casual displays of miracles, who among the ignorant villagers could resist her?
In a short ti, many believers converted.
Killing the Emperor was ant to create a big event to draw out Owen Bertram, but preaching in his territory could also achieve the sa result.
Besides, he could never imagine that a re preaching effort would involve the power of the Seven Mountains…
This was an almost perfect trap.
…
A few days earlier, Owen Bertram had found a suitable location.
To be more specific…
there was nothing particularly outstanding about the place.
The peddler just happened to like it.
But it was a site with stable void space, nestled among the mountains and rivers.
Nearby was a group of powerful “Stone Spirit Bees”, a Tier-6 monster beast colony.
They fed on “Stone Spirits,” and their bodies were covered in a layer of stone armor, too heavy for flight.
Their wings were for show, as they could only crawl.
But they were individually powerful, and their beehives were constructed like battle fortresses, making them difficult to deal with.
Owen released the swarm of Witch Insects he had obtained from Ken, which easily dealt with the Stone Spirit Bees.
Within a hundred miles, there were no more powerful monster beasts to disturb Owen Bertram’s breakthrough to the fourth rank.
He sat on a giant turtle-shaped rock for several days, his body still unchanged.
It was thanks to the Osaki Magatama and the Previous Dynasty Jade Seal that Owen Bertram attempted this breakthrough.
Before handing them back to the National Treasury Secret Vault, Owen had Master Lane return these treasures a day later.
This allowed twelve shichen (24 hours), for them to accompany Owen Bertram in the dark chamber.
Everyone said these two were treasures, but no one had a clear concept of their true value.
Owen, having spent these twelve shichen with the treasures, had finally learned a few of their secrets.
Before these twelve shichen, Owen Bertram had been greedy and wondered how he could intercept all three treasures for himself.
The Previous Dynasty Jade Seal involved too much risk, but surely there was a way to obtain the Osaki Magatama, wasn’t there?
