Chapter 293: The Prophecy Magic Disk
At this point, Old Shearer had no choice but to treat Aggie as a savior, hoping that Aggie could help him find the starfish. He used to be an adventurer, but after being injured, he became disabled and lived in the nameless town for a long time. Starfish are the driving force of life for him, and life without them has no meaning to him.
However, when he tells Eggie a secret about the starfish, Eggie is unusually surprised.
It turns out that Starfish is not the biological daughter of old Shearer. Starfish was just a baby he picked up more than a decade ago. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the starfish has grown into a slim girl. But no matter what, the elder Shearer treats the starfish as if it were his own daughter, and pours out his lifelong love for the starfish.
The reason why he told Aggie this was the secret that Shearer Sr. was going to tell Aggie. And another secret that this secret brings out is a piece of black jade. This piece of black jade was found by Shearer Sr. next to the starfish when he picked it up. He thought that this was something that belonged to a starfish, and this piece of black jade was by no means a simple jade.
The black jade confirmed that the starfish had been captured by the sacrifices. I don't know what old Shearer used, but after he took the piece of black jade, the black jade changed, and reflected the picture of the starfish being captured.
Black jade is a small disc with some ancient imprints on it. Old Shearer activated it by using a drop of red liquid, and saw what was written inside.
The magic of black jade undoubtedly shows that the identity of the starfish is not simple, if this black jade really belongs to the starfish. Old Hiller didn't want to tell such a secret, but now that Starfish had been captured for days, and no one came to save her, her life could be in danger.
Old Shearer told Aggie that if Aggie could save the starfish, he would give him the magical black jade as a reward. Old Shearer didn't tell Starfish about Black Jade, he didn't want his and Starfish's lives to be disturbed by something so magical but unclear.
Aegie agreed to Shearer's request, but he had a different purpose for the black jade. What needs to be used at this time is the encyclopedic memory in Giroud's head. Giroud had already taken a keen interest in the black jade when he saw it, as he felt the same aura from the black jade as the Moros Blade.
Based on this, it can be determined that this piece of black jade is something from the heavenly realm.
It's just that, since he broke free from the remnants of Aurus's control, Giroud's legacy memories can't be used as freely as before. Although it tried very hard to sense it, it still couldn't find the information related to the black jade right away.
"Age, there's still a day left before those sacrifices to the Word of Rest, so ......"
"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll go to find out the whereabouts of the starfish. But you have to keep it a secret, and it's best not to show anything unusual as usual, otherwise you will make the sacrifices suspicious, and you will be in trouble if you go to save the starfish. When Shearer Sr. pleaded with Age, Age knew what he meant, and promised him to save the starfish tomorrow.
It was late at night, and Aegie and Shearer Sr. had already talked, and it was time to rest. Shearer Sr. arranged for Aggie to be in Starfish's room. This is also out of desperation, the old Shearer's home is not big, only two rooms. Although there was still a small room, old Shearer didn't want Edge to have a bad rest, so he let him rest in Starfish's room.
Of course, Aggie didn't mind that, and when he saw Shearer's home, he knew he was struggling to make ends meet. I am afraid that the consequences of his injuries will be very serious, and he will no longer be able to find a rich life.
Entering Starfish's room, Edge took a look. The room is actually not big, just very girl-like. Simple, clean and tidy...... There are some girls' decorations. Among the decorations, the ones that impressed Edge the most were the shells, conchs, and other small things that could only be found in the ocean on a table.
"Is there a sea around here?" asked Edge, puzzled, picking up a colored seashell on the table.
Naturally, he asked, Giroud.
Giroud thought for a moment when he heard him, and said, "It's true that we didn't see the ocean when we came, but when we inquired about it, wasn't someone telling us that there was a moving ocean here? ”
"You mean the Sea of Drift?" Age immediately thought of this place, but he immediately wondered, "But, Giroud, the Sea of Drift is one of the five dangerous places, how could a starfish go there? ”
"Who knows......" Giroud didn't know why starfish had these things.
"If you want to know, just go and ask the starfish?" Giroud added.
"If you find the starfish, it's not a problem. Edge sighed.
"Alright, Giroud, get some rest, we have business to do tomorrow. "I'm tired and don't plan to stay up late," Edgey said to Giroud.
Giroud stopped making a sound, and quickly fell asleep on his stomach.
When he woke up the next day, a very important question came to Age's mind: What was the red liquid that Old Shearer activated last night with that magical black jade?
Seeing that Age's spirit was not very good at this time, and even the circles under his eyes were a little dark. That's right, he didn't get a good night's rest last night. Although he advised Giroud to get some rest, he kept thinking about the black jade after he calmed down. He is a person who is very interested in treasures, especially those that may contain great power, perhaps because of his desire for power.
There is a saying that many skills are not pressing, so no one dislikes them if there are many treasures. If the treasure could give him strength, Edge didn't mind taking a few more.
"Oh, by the way, Daddy Shearer, I want to ask, what was the red liquid you used to activate that piece of black jade last night?" asked Edge coldly as he ate breakfast.
Originally, he thought it was just a simple question, and old Shearer would answer him quickly. But he didn't expect that Old Shearer's body trembled when he heard his words, and the rice bowl he was holding fell to the ground. Seeing Old Shearer's reaction, whether it was Aggie or Giroud, they all knew that there was a lot of mystery in it.
Old Shearer was stunned for a long time, and was silent for a long time.
Aggie didn't speak, either, and he didn't know what to say. Looking at the old Shearer's expression, it was obvious that there was a great difficulty. He didn't want to force Shearer Sr., and if Sr. Shearer really wasn't going to say anything, he wouldn't ask any more.
But Shearer Sr. knew that when he told the secret of Starfish and Black Jade last night, he could no longer hide these things from Edge. After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly, "The red liquid...... It's the blood of a starfish. ”
"What?" "Aggie was really taken aback, the thing that activated the magical black jade was the blood of a starfish?
What is this? Could it be that if you want to activate black jade, you must use the blood of a starfish? Moreover, even if Edge gets the black jade, he can't use it without the blood of the starfish. Doesn't this mean that Aggie went to save the starfish, and there was no other benefit than being able to stay here?
Of course, Edge didn't care if he was paid or not. What he cared about was that Shearer Sr. shouldn't have withheld such important information. And he also had a bad impression of black jade because of this. He naturally likes treasures, but if he wants to start with the blood of others, it will not only be evil, but it will also hurt the starfish.
It's somewhat infuriating.
"Age, I'm not trying to hide it from you. In fact......" Worried that Edge would no longer save the starfish, Old Shearer quickly explained: "Actually, this secret was also discovered by me accidentally, if it wasn't for the last time the starfish was injured and shed a lot of blood, and her blood happened to be stained with black jade, I wouldn't have discovered this secret at all." ”
"And it's because I discovered this secret that I wanted to get the black jade away, and I was afraid that keeping it would hurt the starfish. ”
"Originally, I wanted to take the black jade and throw it away, but now that I have been captured by the starfish, I have no other treasures, and I need something to pay for someone to help......
"It's alright, Daddy Shearer, I'll help you get the starfish back. And, about this black jade...... I think it's better to wait until the starfish is rescued and let the starfish deal with it. Aegie comforted the panicked old Shearer.
Old Shearer thanked Edge for his understanding, and bowed and nodded.
Leaving the old Shearer's house in search of starfish, the main destination is the place where the priests perform the almsgiving ceremony of the Word of Rest, the Forest of the Last Days.
"Edge, I don't know if that's good news. Suddenly, Giroud's voice rang in Age's ears.
"Hmm, what's the matter?" said Edge, wondering.
"After hearing old Shearer say that the black jade needed starfish blood to activate, I seemed to remember something. So I tried hard to recall my inheritance memories, and finally found out the secret of the black jade.
"Do you know what that is?" Giroud sold.
"Say it quickly. "Aegie doesn't have the skills to play slowly.
“...... Prophecy Disc ......"
Giroud said it meaningfully. Listening to its tone, there is no doubt that the origin of this prophecy disk is not trivial.
