The Lich of Glory Knight Spirit: Moving towards Krimasha! Chapter 298 - 38: Jones’s Trouble

A corner of the Keltos Continent.

Underground.

In the dim and oppressive space, Adolf lay silently in his Blood Crystal, motionless.

Compared to the last ti, there seed to be more "blood threads" within the Blood Crystal.

There was no wind here, the surroundings were silent as the abyss itself.

Suddenly, ripples spread across the surface of the Blood Crystal, and Adolf’s body tilted slightly, falling out of the crystal.

Almost simultaneously, the fine sand below the Blood Crystal quickly condensed into a flat surface to catch him.

"Are you okay?" The blue mist coalesced into a human face, appearing beside him.

Curled up, Adolf trembled slightly, breathing heavily.

"I’m... I’m fine."

"You don’t look fine."

After a while, Adolf finally caught his breath, lying there and panting heavily.

"I think you better not go any further. Your body is not fit for using any more Magic, especially spatial Magic. That’s high-level Magic, it will put a heavy strain on your body."

"But my mission is not... complete." Gritting his teeth, Adolf propped himself up with his hands, slowly standing up.

"That’s just a general mission. ’Necessary preparations for the Day of Awakening.’ What is ’necessary’? The mission didn’t even ntion the ’Lich King,’ no one anticipated his arrival. I think you should just stay here quietly, no one will bla you."

"That’s why the teacher chose for this mission. Because I know what needs to be done." At this mont, Adolf’s face was as pale as that of a true Blood Clan mber. He slowly raised his head, speaking softly, "The lives of so many people, the efforts of so many, cannot afford any mishaps. I’m doing all this not to avoid bla, but to truly achieve our goal."

"Alright. Then I can only wish you good luck."

The ground, ford from the fine sand underfoot, extended bit by bit, connecting with the sandy bridge from the main pillar. Along the suspended bridge, Adolf walked forward slowly, then began to climb the staircase on the main pillar.

The blue mist followed closely behind.

"Actually, I suggest you don’t continue, not just because of your body’s condition. Soone is investigating you, and you don’t know who, which ans there’s a risk. The thing we fear most is risk, especially the risk of exposure. Or perhaps you could report this to the higher-ups of the Blood Clan and let them handle it. I think they’d be happy to."

Adolf remained silent, continuing to ascend step by step.

...

Just as Adelle was still searching for Jones in Manxelder, Jones had already returned to Giant Snake City.

Sitting in his room, he stared incredulously at the envelope in his hand.

Inside the envelope were bank notes worth three hundred thousand Gold Coins, making the envelope thick.

There was also a letter, with very simple content.

"Here are three hundred thousand Gold Coins, keep them with you. If the refinery needs money, use these. I’ve gotten into so trouble and probably can’t appear in Hilde for a while. I’ll head directly to Giant Snake City to find you. Please don’t tell anyone I’m coming, including Adelle. Sincerely, Adolf."

Three hundred thousand Gold Coins...

Adolf was quite wealthy, Jones could tell. But he clearly wasn’t a businessman, at least in the case of the refinery, he wasn’t treating it like a business. And what kind of trouble could make such a wealthy man flee?

*Could it be because of Adelle?*

The letter specifically ntioned not to tell Adelle. Did sothing conflict arise between Adolf and Adelle?

Jones felt a wave of dizziness.

*Vaguely, Jones sensed this might involve sothing serious, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.*

*For sothing significant to reach him, could it be related to Gray?*

At dawn, the castle hall was quiet. The Hydra was still in hibernation, lying still. Jones stood in the second-floor corridor, looking down. The canal dug out in the hall reflected his upside-down image.

*"It seems like the only possibility. Aside from this, I really don’t understand his reason for seeking out. Does he, like Adelle, want to use the Silver Moon Knight Order to do sothing for him? But I don’t even know who he really is." Jones suddenly recalled the feelings from when they first t.*

*It seed Adolf was deliberately getting close to him.*

*Thinking about it, Jones couldn’t help but feel worried.*

*In fact, Adelle and Adolf were both the sa. Their motives for getting close to him were not pure. At least at first, it wasn’t about any friendship. But both of them had helped him significantly.*

*Initially, this problem wasn’t so pressing, but now it was different. If the two of them clashed, what should he do? No matter which side he stood on, it would seem like a betrayal to the other side.*

*Thinking about this, Jones felt a tingling on his scalp.*

*"Maybe I should ask Adelle, he might tell what problem arose between him and Adolf. But, if I ask him, wouldn’t it prove that I know?"*

*If it were just an ordinary Blood Clan mber, they wouldn’t need to consider these things too much. The Blood Clan was always driven by interests, and their genes inherently carried the trait of betrayal. They didn’t see betrayal as a problem. But Jones was different from other Blood Clan mbers.*
