974: Chapter 91 Irresistible Temptation 974: Chapter 91 Irresistible Temptation Catherine’s beautiful eyebrows knit slightly together, perhaps recalling sothing odd, and she bit her lip without saying a word, seemingly deep in thought influenced by the information Odin had provided.
Seeing Catherine’s expression, Odin smiled in satisfaction and continued, “You must also know the high developnt value of an ancient relic.
For any power, having sole control over an undeveloped ancient relic ans they can harvest a great amount of wealth and receive support from various quarters.
No leader would be unaffected by such a prospect, all the more so because this relic is even older and more mysterious than goblin relics, belonging to the Deities from the Mythical Age.”
At this point, Odin still had an unconcealable longing in his deanor, clearly indicating the allure of the mission was still potent.
After so thought, Catherine cautiously asked, “Mr.
Chairman, relics of the Deities can’t be that easy to find, right?
Although I have never t the forr chairman, I imagine that to be the Guild’s chairman, one must possess more than just sheer power.
With such an elusive clue, the forr chairman must not have believed in it lightly.”
“On the contrary, the forr chairman was not one to believe lightly, but only after conducting a detailed and ticulous investigation and discussing it several tis with the client did he confirm the authenticity of this clue,” Odin said with a wry smile.
“The forr chairman’s deanor was much calr than mine.
He would only venture on sothing if he was more than eighty percent sure; otherwise, he would rather miss out on all opportunities.
No, with such certainty, it would hardly count as an adventure, often it’s just purely reaping the benefits.”
“But this ti, the fruit doesn’t seem so easy to reap,” Catherine said, tapping idly on the ship’s rail, deep in thought, “But anyway, it seems like the authenticity of this clue shouldn’t be in question anymore.”
“Yes, it shouldn’t be fake,” Odin nodded, “As for the specific details of the commission, I don’t know much either, especially regarding this clue, because the forr chairman hoped that the Adventurer’s Guild could exclusively own the rights to develop this relic, so he paid special attention to confidentiality.
Apart from himself, I’m afraid no one else knew the particulars.
I only rember that during that period, the forr chairman called back from the Lost Forest and asked to temporarily act as chairman while he himself went out with those two Mages for several months, apparently doing so verification work.
It wasn’t until several months later that he returned to the Holy City.
Upon his return, he began to prepare for a long journey, and at the sa ti started to get in touch with Mr.
Field.”
“Why would he want to contact my grandfather?” Catherine asked, puzzled, “Wasn’t he hoping to keep it as secretive as possible?”
“Clearly, the forr chairman figured he couldn’t complete the mission alone,” Odin speculated, “I only rember that the forr chairman, combining the clues given by those two Mages, spent a long ti researching various docunts, and after several months of investigation, he finally deduced two likely locations.
However, at least one of these locations was a rather dangerous area, and it would be difficult for a Demigod to smoothly enter and explore.”
“Now it seems, one of them was the core of the Forest of Death,” Catherine nodded, “And the other?”
“Nobody knows about that,” Odin shook his head, “It’s also in the northern part of the Continent, but the exact location seems to be known only to the forr chairman and your grandfather.
The other mbers involved in that adventure were not privy to the details.
But that really isn’t anything important; knowing it or not makes no difference now.”
“That’s true,” Catherine said, looking up at Marquis Snape, “If what Grandpa Snape and you have said is not a lie, then it ans the first place was safe, but quite clearly, they didn’t find their goal there, so they turned to the second possible location, which is the Core Area of the Forest of Death.”
“But he died in the end, leaving alone to endure the tornt,” Snape muttered in complaint, yet he finally nodded and huffed, “Alright, I won’t bla him anymore.”
“Hehe, thank you, Grandpa,” Catherine giggled, shaking the old man’s hand playfully and snuggling next to him before turning solemn again and addressing Odin, “Mr.
Chairman, you’re right, the other location doesn’t matter now, but about the Core Area of the Forest of Death, I think the coincidence is quite thought-provoking.”
“That’s why I thought it necessary to explain this to you,” Odin hesitated before continuing, “the incident with your grandfather and the forr chairman, like you said, seems to have so very interesting coincidences.
If understood, while I can’t be sure, it might provide so help for your current expedition.
But of course, now that the parties involved have long passed away, fully uncovering the truth of what happened then is absolutely impossible.
All we can do is try to pinpoint so doubts, but as to what effect this might have, it’s really hard to say.”
“In that case, should we…” Catherine hesitated looking towards Pannis’ direction, where a group of people were still playing lively.
However, as she looked over, several gazes t hers, including Pannis’.
The knight saw clearly as Pannis casually tossed a ball, precisely hitting Little Deer in Annie’s arms on the skull, catapulting the skull into the air with a rattle.
Annie scread and chased after it, catching the skull back in her arms, and both Undead giggled together in the air.
After throwing the ball, Pannis didn’t tend to them anymore but from a challenging angle, gave Catherine a thumbs up from afar, a bright smile on his face.
As for the other gazes, they briefly t the knight girl’s eyes and then moved away, just as Odin had said earlier: for so Demigods, this distance of conversation couldn’t be hidden from their senses, but since these Demigods were not directly involved, they just quietly observed the conversation here without interrupting.
Unable to help herself, the girl chuckled and shook her head, saying, “Well, it seems there’s no need to call him back, since he can hear us anyway.
Mr.
Chairman, I’d like to confirm sothing with you first, regarding the forr chairman’s death from what you just described, I find there are so quite peculiar issues.”
“You are right,” Odin nodded, “It is indeed very strange.” (To be continued.
