Chapter 1988: Chapter 599 Stele, Flame Demon, Elder Clinton_3

Upon hearing this, although Leonard Churchill and the others felt they hadn’t gained clarity, they could understand.

After all, this stele is too mysterious; not knowing is normal, while knowing would be strange.

However, at this moment, the drowsy old lizard suddenly remembered something and said: "I remember... this stele was reinforced with a sealing by an elder who communicated through spirit many, many years ago. Also, because of this stele, I have lived until now..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill caught some details from those words, and his eye twitched inexplicably.

He was all too familiar with this process!

Every Forbidden Ruins Stele he had previously seen was almost always related to Elder Clinton and was also used for sealing.

Moreover, Leonard Churchill had deciphered some of the content on this stele.

Knowing he might not get another chance to ask, he directly inquired: "Prophet, have you seen Senior Clinton?"

"Oh, right, that elder mentioned his human surname was ’Clinton.’"

Reminded by this, the old lizard said: "Back then, our Dragon Lizard Clan was just a small tribe. Until I met Senior Clinton, who taught me the Immortality Secret Technique... I remember that Airel hadn’t united the Dragon Clan yet..."

Upon hearing this opening, Leonard Churchill’s heart suddenly realized.

No wonder that forgetful feeling seemed so familiar; it was indeed a secret skill of the same origin as Elder Clinton.

However, knowing the relationship between this old lizard and Elder Clinton only made Leonard Churchill more astonished. From the sound of it... has the old lizard lived for tens of thousands of years?

Hiss...

This earth-shattering secret even caused Clan Chief Morey to take a cold breath.

It’s not that he, the clan chief, doesn’t know the history of the Dragon Lizard Clan, but because Prophet himself doesn’t know how long he has lived, how could their descendants know.

....

Having seen the Forbidden Ruins Stele, involving Elder Clinton, this sealing is likely as Leonard Churchill thought, involving some ancient secrets.

The fifty-three Forbidden Ruins Steles were probably left by the Card Emperor JOKER, who created the Card Master Civilization, recording the ultimate secrets of the civilization.

This stele seems to be a method that might not be detected by the "Plane Inspector."

Later, Emperor Lanlingster also left some information on it, and strong individuals like Will Smith left messages on it as well.

Leonard Churchill could now understand parts of the original information, but couldn’t interpret it. It was like getting a piece of the puzzle; only with enough pieces could the puzzle’s picture be understood.

But he understood a segment recorded by someone later: "During the Great Catastrophe, gods fought fiercely; a mount of a Divine Dragon Knight, the Red Dragon, fell here, forming the Dok Mountain Range and this Lava Crypt... When I arrived, I discovered that the [Lava Heart] formed by the godhood had already developed spirituality; later, it might grow into a Flame Demon, and there was also a very powerful Divine Shield... However, those things are no longer useful to my tier now, so I’ll leave them to those who come after... Clinton."

Leaving the signature "Clinton."

It was evidently that old man with the gap between his teeth.

Leonard Churchill now understood why Elder Clinton was always searching for those steles.

Because the stele is like the old man’s memoir.

Recording the events, forgetting them, and then searching for them again.

That’s how you know what happened before.

....

Seeing the content on the stele, Leonard Churchill’s strong curiosity was immediately aroused.

The legend is indeed true; there is a [Lava Heart] underground here.

Moreover... there’s also a very powerful shield?

Any treasure praised as powerful by Elder Clinton must be a divine artifact.

Having come here, Leonard Churchill definitely wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

Leonard Churchill asked some more questions about Elder Clinton, but the old lizard’s memory couldn’t provide the answers he wanted.

Or perhaps, the amnesia itself is a protective hideaway of that memory.

Leonard Churchill didn’t continue to ask about the stele and instead asked: "Prophet Senior, may I ask if the Flame Demon underground has condensed a Godhood?"

Now the situation is quite apparent; because of the passage of time, the sealing can no longer hold the flame demon underground.

If it can be completely resolved, it might not be a better solution.

Upon hearing this, the old lizard’s tone inexplicably grew gentle, "Young man, your curiosity allows me to see your courage more dazzling than lava... that Flame Demon hasn’t condensed a Godhood, however, it has already touched the ultimate mysteries of the plane’s fire element... Oh, I seem to have once seen in a dream a red-nosed Joker jesting with that Flame Demon, stealing its treasured possessions... and I wonder if it’s just that I’m too old, sometimes failing to distinguish between dreams and prophecies..."

The word order is a bit chaotic.

As they spoke, the voices faded away.

The amber vertical pupil had completely closed, with no trace of brilliance left.

If not for that faint "air," Leonard Churchill might have thought this esteemed Prophet had fallen asleep.

On the vast platform, there was a moment of silence.

Sophia Jones and Leonard Churchill exchanged glances among the three, their eyes communicating briefly.

Meanwhile, Clan Chief Morey’s expression grew increasingly peculiar. He realized someone seemed to be eyeing the subterranean Flame Demon.

This was a matter their Dragon Lizard Clan dared not even dream of.

But having acquired the wisdom of the esteemed Prophet, Morey no longer hesitated.

The path of the future had already been chosen in the Prophecy.

Looking at Sophia Jones, then Leonard Churchill, he voluntarily spoke: "As you have seen, the esteemed Prophet has indicated the Prophecy, and we will fully abide by the Prophet’s instructions. If you are willing, our Dragon Lizard Clan would like to forge an alliance with your army..."

Sophia Jones glanced at Leonard Churchill, then directly said: "To gain the friendship of the Dragon Lizard Clan is an honor for our Rebellion Army."

Clan Chief Morey nodded and said: "Hmm, I will convene the Elder Council to discuss the alliance matter. Our Dragon Lizard Clan can dispatch fifty thousand elite mages to join the Rebel Army, fighting alongside...however, our clansmen will also need to relocate then..."

Sophia Jones had already thought it over and said: "No problem. Your clansmen can temporarily relocate to the Old Continent or East Continent, where we have very safe habitable domains. We’ll discuss other placements once the later stages of the battle are settled..."

"That is very good."

Listening to this, Morey’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt a relief inwardly.

Understanding now, it turns out this Rebellion Army has territories both on the Old Continent and East Wilderness, which is even better.

Currently, nowhere on the Southern Continent seems safe, matching the Prophet’s words in the Prophecy about "long-distance relocation."

Two leaders quickly reached an agreement with few words, solving the most urgent issue of passage.

Moreover, the entire Dragon Lizard group numbered only a few hundred thousand; promising five thousand elites was already deploying the full strength of the clan.

Signifying sincerity.

None disturbed the Prophet’s rest further; they retraced their steps.

Walking back, Sophia Jones and Morey discussed some alliance details along the way.

While Leonard Churchill continued pondering the matter of the Flame Demon.

Since that creature hadn’t managed to gather Godhood, he still wanted to take a look.

However, filled with too many uncertainties if he went down, the plan had to wait until the Dragon Lizard Clan had relocated.

As they walked, Morey suddenly thought of something and said: "However, concerning Silver Wind City, I think we better not provoke them. The strength of Silver Wind Lord and his Dragon Hawk Legion is considerable...the army will just pass through our Earth Cave, avoiding provocation is best."

Hearing this, Sophia Jones shook her head: "Even if we don’t provoke, once we pass through, the Silver Wind Lord is bound to cause trouble for your Dragon Lizard Clan."

She and Leonard Churchill had carefully discussed various possibilities and largely determined that Silver Wind City’s stance was more aligned with a certain Outer God.

Morey asked confusedly: "Why is this?"

After all, being neighbors for hundreds of years, the Dragon Lizard Clan had frequent exchanges with Silver Wind City, mutually having trade connections in territorial areas.

Surely, there were clansmen within the Dragon Lizard Clan who were friendly with Silver Wind City.

There was no reason for either side to tear faces unless absolutely necessary.

Sophia Jones briefly explained the current situation of several Outer Gods, which made Morey feel reasonable.

But those were speculations, without fully judging if Silver Wind City was indeed problematic.

Sophia Jones proposed a scheme: "Clan Chief Morey, I have a way to determine if Silver Wind City harbors hostility towards us. Please intentionally leak the news of our negotiation visit, if they come to attack, it will prove my previous words..."

If Silver Wind City indeed wished not to bear the risk of Rebellion Army passing through, given the Dragon Lizard Clan decided to open the way, they would have no reason to dispatch troops.

Moreover, they certainly wouldn’t actively assassinate high-ranking members of the Rebellion Army.

But if they did come, it would be confirmed.

This hidden danger must eventually be uprooted.

Morey, hearing this, nodded and felt this thought was reliable: "Hmm!"
