Chapter 194: The Origin

“Your Excellency, I don’t think knowing too much is good for our deal!” The old man frowned and said, “You should be clear, sometimes, knowing too many things is not a good thing!”

“Cut the crap.” Old Xie curled his lips and said, “I already know quite a bit now, enough for you to have a reason to silence me. So, for my safety, I should actually know more. As long as you have any bad intentions, I’ll expose everything to them!”

“You!” The old man was immediately choked by Old Xie’s unreasonable statement. However, now was not the time for him to get angry, so he could only suppress his anger and explain, “Your Excellency, you have to believe in my sincerity, so that we can continue with the deal, right? In fact, you don’t need to worry about things like silencing at all. After all, you are in the Great Gobi. Even if we wanted to silence you, we are simply power less! The losses this time are enough to prove this point!”

Unfortunately, Old Xie didn’t listen to this at all. He said directly, “Less nonsense. You must tell me the whole process. This is the prerequisite for our deal. Otherwise, I’ll feed you to that Spider, and then hand the Siren over. Although I’ll earn a little less, it’s safe! With the 200,000 Gold Coins worth of goods, I care more about my own little life. Hehe, what do you say?”

When the old man heard this, he realized he had met a die-hard character. He had no other choice. Helplessly, he said, “Alright, what do you want to know?”

“First, tell me your name and specific identity?” Old Xie asked.

“Sigh!” The old man sighed and finally said helplessly, “My name is Loya, and I am a Superintendent Bishop in the Imperial Capital of Light!”

Old Xie and Lan Fake were immediately shocked upon hearing this. You have to know, although a Superintendent Bishop of the Imperial Capital of Light was also a Superintendent Bishop, the status was completely different. After all, they were closest to the center of power? Generally, only the confidants of the top core forces of the Empire of Light could hold this position. Their status was definitely nobler than the Cardinals in other places. Such a big shot came all the way here to smuggle a Siren; no one would believe it if told. And since a mere errand runner had such status, the person behind him was obviously even more noble.

“So, how did you get that Siren?” Old Xie then continued to ask.

“Recently, the elite troops of the Elves have all gone to fight pirates near the East Sea and the Demon Archipelago, so the defense on the southern sea has been very lax. So we took the opportunity to send several large ships, sneak-attacked a pre-selected Siren village, and captured this Siren.” The old man said indifferently.

“Captured this Siren?” Old Xie frowned and said, “Wasn’t it a random capture? You specifically wanted to capture this Siren? Does she have something special?”

“Cough, cough!” The old man didn’t expect Old Xie to be so sharp, inferring so much from just one sentence. So he had to tell the truth, “Yes, this Siren is a Priestess. Our mission was to capture a Siren Priestess.”

Old Xie and Lan Fake were speechless after hearing this. The status of a Priestess in the Siren Tribe was just like a Shaman in the Beast Race, extremely noble, simply equivalent to a Noble in human society. If such a figure had an accident, it would be a major event. Even people who privately engaged in slave capture and smuggling knew that they could capture commoners, but they absolutely could not touch nobles. This had almost become an unspoken rule. Unexpectedly, they dared to break this taboo. It could be seen that their plot was definitely not small.

Old Xie immediately asked curiously, “Are you guys crazy? Don’t you know how noble a Priestess of the Siren Tribe is?”

“Of course we know. In fact, because the Siren Tribe has the special protection of the Elves, even an ordinary member is nobler than a human noble, let alone a Priestess. So we are also clear that if this gets out, we don’t know how many heads will roll!” The old man said helplessly.

“So, to keep it secret, you should have already killed all the other Sirens, right?” Old Xie said coldly.

“Sigh, this was also unavoidable, right? We couldn’t let them stay to report the news, could we?” The old man said helplessly.

“Why didn’t you capture them too?” Old Xie suddenly asked.

“One reason is the employer doesn’t need that many.” Loya explained, “Also, if the number is too large, the target becomes big and easy to expose. After all, this is something that can’t see the light of day. We still have to cross the Empire of Light, so we really didn’t dare to take too many.”

“Then who is your employer?” Old Xie finally asked the most critical point.

“This, I’m not too clear either. I only know to deliver the goods to a certain tribe of the Beast Race. When the time comes, someone will naturally contact me!” The old man explained.

Old Xie didn’t waste any words and directly waved his arm in the air. Then, a slapping sound was heard, and Loya’s face was fiercely slapped by the palm wind from Old Xie’s wave. Old Xie struck very hard, so Loya immediately spat out a bloody molar.

Furious, he immediately roared, “What do you mean?”

“I’m just reminding you not to lie!” Old Xie said disdainfully, “The goods you brought are all magic materials, mostly used for forging and Alchemy, but there are no Master Smiths in the Beast Race. Do you want those poor beggars to use these priceless things to build walls?”

“Oh!” Loya was immediately choked upon hearing this and had to say helplessly, “Alright, I admit I misspoke. Our destination is the Dwarves!”

“Very good. I hope your memory will be better in the future, otherwise, I won’t mind feeding you to my cute little Spider!” Old Xie then continued to ask, “Then tell me, what exactly do you want to exchange for this Siren Priestess? Don’t tell me it’s Gold Coins. A Superintendent Bishop like you wouldn’t make a personal trip to the Great Gobi for that thing!”

“Oh, of course we aren’t doing it for money, but for another item.” Loya said somewhat hesitantly.

“Don’t try to hide it from me!” Old Xie immediately warned, “If you still want to complete the task assigned by the master behind you, you must tell me the truth. Otherwise, I’ll hand the Siren over to the Elves. By then, it doesn’t matter if you die, but do you want to implicate your family and everyone in the force behind you to be buried with you?”

“This~” After hesitating for a while, Loya finally said helplessly, “We want to exchange for the Revelation!”

The Revelation was an unfamiliar name to Old Xie; he hadn’t come across similar information before. But Lan Fake, who was on the side, had just taken a sip of wine when he heard this, and he sprayed out the fine wine he treasured like his life with a puff. Then, without bothering to wipe his mouth, he immediately jumped up, ran in front of Loya, and asked nervously, “Is the Revelation you’re talking about the sacred item of The Church?”

“Yes!” Loya nodded helplessly and admitted.

“Damn it!” Lan Fake was immediately furious upon hearing this. He directly kicked Loya, and then started cursing, “You damn scumbag! I’ll kick you to death!” Saying that, he kicked Loya several times in a row, breaking Loya’s nose and making blood flow out.

Old Xie knew Lan Fake’s strength. Don’t look at how old this old guy was, as a Troll, his strength was not small. To avoid Loya, this living witness, being kicked to death by him, Old Xie hurriedly went over and pulled Lan Fake away. Then he asked curiously, “What is this Revelation? Why does it make you so angry?”

“I’m angry not because of the Revelation, but because these bastards are actually making deals with the evil forces underground.” Lan Fake said angrily, “I just realized why those materials also included ones for refining Potions. So, they were prepared for the Dark Moon Elves, right? Hmph, Dwarves are good at forging iron, but they don’t know how to refine Potions at all!”

Hearing Lan Fake’s words, Old Xie also understood. You have to know, the tragedy of Lan Fake’s life was almost entirely caused by the Dark Moon Elves. If they hadn’t instigated the relationship between Lan Fake and his senior brother, the two Troll races wouldn’t have fought, Lan Fake’s only son wouldn’t have died, the Troll race wouldn’t have declined, and Lan Fake himself wouldn’t have been unable to return home, relying on friends to support him for decades.

So Lan Fake’s hatred for the Dark Moon Elves could definitely be called irreconcilable! That was why he hated those who colluded with the evil Dark Moon Elves so much.

However, Old Xie was also curious. Why did Lan Fake know that their trading partner was the Dark Moon Elves just from Loya mentioning the Revelation? So he asked curiously, “What exactly is the Revelation? Also, how are you so sure that they are going to trade with the Dark Moon Elves?”

“The Revelation is a sacred item of The Church. Legend has it that 10,000 years ago, when The Church was just established, the God of Light they believed in performed a Divine Miracle in what is now the Imperial Capital of Light and sent down a book, which is this Revelation. It itself possesses extremely strong Light Divine Power and can be used as a Magic Wand. It allows the user to easily release many powerful Light Spells. Its power is strong enough to be called a Divine Artifact. In addition, it also records the complete cultivation method of The Church’s strongest spell, the Grand Command Spell. It can be said that this is the highest sacred item of the Church of Light!” Lan Fake explained.

“Since this thing is so important, how was it lost? And from what you said, it seems to have fallen into the hands of the Dark Moon Elves!” Old Xie then asked curiously.
