Chapter 291
It was the fifteen AFSB Squad-9 bodyguards who had arrived to help their young master, chauffeur, and head bodyguard out of the river.After a brief moment of rest, Gerald looked up at them.“How did you guys find us?”It was Head Bodyguard Kevin himself who then elaborated that he had long set up various signals with which his underlings would be able to find without outright alerting the enemy.After all, it should be recalled that the base of The Herder Bandit was in this very forest, and they were currently hunting for Gerald and his bodyguards. They could have attacked them at the set-up camp if it wasn't for the dangerous Amur Leopards breaking free of the chains and then fighting their way back to freedom, all thanks to the techno dragonflies that Chauffeur Richard had brilliantly used.There was no doubt that the Herder Bandit already had it out for Gerald and his crew. Therefore, Head Bodyguard Kevin had to be incredibly smart and discreet about how he signaled to his lost u

Gerald felt the pull, but it was much gentler this time. He felt himself sink deeper, closer to the dark bottom of the rushing river. Besides, there was also the social fruit he was introduced to back in that treasure cave by Alice Thorn herself. He had taken another bite from one of the sticks he had accumulated before exiting that colorful forest with the chests of antique treasures.Therefore, Gerald was able to breathe underwater, and his vision went blurry either. Seconds turned into minutes as he sank lower into what looked like an abyss.It was dark, silent, and seemingly still for a while. And then, Gerald found himself slowly tuning into the lives that had blended into the environment created in the dark depths of this river.Gerald thought to himself.[Honestly, I'm surprised at how this river feels like the ocean. The aquatic life in this water is surprisingly full, more than I would have ever imagined it to be.]To this, Alice Thorn replied.[This is all thanks to the gr
Chapter 293
Gerald was still a bit stunned by everything. His journey to the outskirts of Sole Wood City has truly opened his eyes to a part of the world that was either never spoken seriously about enough or was indulged in terms of entertainment, faction, and not to be taken seriously at all.First, it was his telepathic power, which he still hasn't learned enough about. He was still dealing with the fact that he was able to do something like that, only to unexpectedly find himself in the middle of a tragic history where he could now talk to the lingering spirit of a little girl who tragically passed away centuries ago.And it was due to his telepathy. Somehow, Gerald was able to communicate with the dead, and with his deduction, he's been suspecting that telepathy might not be his only gift.Back to the present,Gerald reached out to carry the corpse of Priestess Alice Thorn in his arms, and he was ready to leave when he felt an immense rumble, the walls shaking and starting to… unravel?Gera
Chapter 294
Gerald was stunned as he stared up at the humongous snake coiled around him, staring down at him with red glowing eyes.[Wait! Y ..You can also …]There was a chuckling sound from the snake that made the surrounding dark water feel like it was vibrating.[You're wondering how I'm able to telepathically communicate with you? Child, I believe you've heard about me from the last priestess. So there's no way you don't know about me. Anything she can do, I, as the great protector of Cone Rock River, can do greater. Conversing with you through the mind is no problem, not when I was able to peek into your conversation with her and you couldn't even detect me.]Basically, the huge serpent was making it clear that it was far more powerful than Alice Thorn's spirit.[Um..Great serpent, how may I address you?]A heavily vibrating chuckling spread through the dark waters, illuminated by her glowing scales.[You've already given me a name, so why bother asking? Hypocritical humans, just get on wi
Chapter 295
Gerald watched on as the huge serpent and Alice Thorn's spirit argued back and forth like they were old buddies who couldn't stand each other. Also surprising was the little girl's total change in attitude when interacting with the huge snake.He was wondering how to make these two stop arguing when he suddenly felt his throat starting to seriously burn. Then he was reminded where he was and how he had got here in the first place - deep in the abyss of Cone Rock River, breathing in water thanks to the miraculous temporary gill-making fruit that Alice Thorn introduced him to.But there was also the fact that the time limit for the effect of this fruit was limited, of which he should have gotten Alice Thorn's intact corpse out of the gushing river by now. But meeting this great serpent protector of the great river spirit was an unexpected turn of events that took up a lot of time Now, he had run out of it. He needed to get to the surface within a minute. Otherwise, he would suffocate
Chapter 296
Water has started filling up Gerald's lungs at this point and he could no longer hold onto Alice Thorn's corpse.The spirit of the last priestess of Cone Rock River covered her mouth with both hands, glaring briefly at the huge water snake.[Great River Protector, this is your fault! Mr. Arnold cannot die! He came down here, into the unknown, just to keep his promise to ensure that I'm buried next to my parents! Why did you have to make things hard for him? If he dies, I'm gonna haunt your sleep every single second you dare to slumber.]The huge serpent actually bared its fangs at the ghost of Alice Thorn.[How dare you threaten to haunt my dreams?! Little priestess, do you think I wanted to hold on to your corpse for so long?! Preserving it for centuries while waiting for the Great Spirit's command is the only reason I've not tossed or gobbled up your stupid corpse!]Gerald could still hear the two non-human entities arguing with one another as he lost consciousness. He didn't let g
Chapter 297
The great spirit of Cone Rock River began to descend towards Gerald, the proximity only making it obvious how tall she was in comparison to the human below her.Gerald was already above six feet tall in height. But before this water spirit, he felt truly small, and this feeling went far beyond the physical aspect. The aura that the great spirit exuded was overwhelmingly mighty.The great river spirit suddenly stopped her steady descent and shifted her stiff but somewhat soft gaze beyond the revolving boundary of the air bubble she had created for Gerald.She was particularly staring at the great serpent and Alice Thorn's spirit.“You two, enough arguing.”Both entities immediately moved closer to the boundary of the revolving water orb, not daring to enter without permission. Instead, they showed their respect from the edge.“Apologies, goddess. We didn't mean to be nuisances!”Both Alice Thorn and the huge snake spoke these words with great reverence in their tone and deep bows. The
Chapter 298
Gerald was stunned a bit at how easily this great river spirit was letting her last priestess go. With the way the great serpent had treated this situation, he had been convinced that the treat river spirit was not in support of Alice Thorn having her corpse buried on land with her family and villagers.Yet, this doesn't seem to be the case.According to the great serpent, it had not seen the great river spirit ever since Alice Thorn had died centuries ago, and was found its duty by holding onto her corpse for the great river spirit to acknowledge before burial in the abyss of Cone Rock River took place.Alice Thorn, still holding a sense of sentimentality to the parents and family she had while she was alive, desired to have her physical body laid to rest with her parents. Thankfully, the one entity that could stop this from happening had chosen to let go.Within the revolving water orb at the abyssal bottom of the huge gushing river, Alice Thorn floated downward to face Gerald with
Chapter 299
Gerald felt his body lift upwards, levitating towards the tall and slender feminine figure who then reached out a hand, slowly touching one of her long, blue fingernails, which looked like flowing water, to his forehead.A light glowed, and Gerald felt an immense burning sensation rush from that glowing fingernail straight into his head. He wanted to let out a guttural scream of pain, but he felt his body refuse, as if it didn't want to express such emotion in reverence of the divine being before him And then he passed out.By the time Gerald regained consciousness, he found himself being pushed towards the surface of Cone Rock River, where there was actual natural light from the sun reaching this shallow part.Looking down, he found the huge body of the great serpent pushing him upward. It was then that he realized that he was no longer in the orb of revolving water, and hence, needed to hold his breath while underwater.But then, how did he not fill his lungs while he was unconsci
Chapter 300
About an hour later, Gerald and his crew stood before the graveyard in silence, pouring out their wishes for these people to find peace and truly move on. Alice Thorn was able to reach out to someone, making it known that she still had unresolved issues in this world due to the ability she possessed while she was alive. Back then, the great river spirit had blessed her to become her priestess, and the gift had purified her soul as well, which was why she possessed the ability to reach out to someone.Also, Gerald was able to interact with Alice Thorn's spirit simply because of his telepathic ability.They say that it takes two to Tango.Neither side would have been able to communicate effectively if they didn't possess their individual uniqueness. That's why it's considered fate that Gerald came here in search of antique treasures.But there are countless lost souls in this world who do not possess the purification that Alice Thorn was gifted with, and there are billions of humans
