Chapter 248: Chapter 246: Divine Spirit Water
Heaven was kind, for tonight was cloudless, and the bright moonlight showered the earth, illuminating the giant stone.
Within the camp, Military Officers were soundly sleeping, with Owen Bertram and David sitting side by side. The crude round logs were made into a long bench - the handiwork of Nathan Lane.
When he made this bench, Ethereal Devin scoffed at Nathan Lane, "What use is this in a wilderness camp? Are you planning to live here permanently?"
Without saying much, Nathan Lane chuckled, "No wonder you’re from the Devin Clan, even now you’re just a lowly banner."
Owen Bertram pointed at the huge rock, "It begins."
The moonlight, visible to the naked eye, infused more into the giant stone.
Originally, the stone seemed like an ordinary large bluestone, but suddenly it underwent a strange transformation, first becoming as soft as dough, then quickly "weathering" into scattered sand and mud.
During this process, a faint blue liquid formed a spider web-like pattern as it seeped out from the large bluestone, then slowly began to condense.
Owen raised his hand and Joseph Gourd rose high, then flipped over, the gourd’s mouth facing down and sucking in: not waiting for the Divine Spirit Water to condense into shape, it turned into a faint blue streak of light and flew into Joseph Gourd’s belly.
David had a discerning eye; although the Divine Spirit Water was precious, the gourd was even more extraordinary!
He couldn’t help but size up Owen Bertram a few times: how many treasures was this fellow hiding? Master Lane’s family fortune might not be as rich as his, right?
Having collected the Divine Spirit Water, Joseph Gourd swayed unsteadily back into the possession of his master. In a quiet report to his master, he disclosed that he could confirm that the Divine Spirit Water and the Spirit Vein Stone Milk shared the same source.
Owen’s heart trembled, but he silently slipped his hand into his sleeve. Joseph Gourd still diligently held his position in front of Gourd Elder and held the first place in Master’s sleeve, leading to Gourd Elder’s grumblings resounding in his gourd belly.
When David looked again at the big bluestone, it had already turned into ordinary sands and clay.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, "It’s indeed a divine creation! Such Divine Water, if used in artifact making, would undoubtedly produce an indestructible divine weapon!"
Owen Bertram gave a faint smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
David began to give strong hints, "Does the Master have any plans for this? I have heard that Master’s artifact making skills are top-notch; my battle blade has been used for quite some time. If my realm advances, the power of this magical instrument will no longer be sufficient."
Owen glanced at him and laughed, "So that’s your intention. Rest assured, since you are my servant, I won’t let you sling around a broken blade to hack people."
David’s face lost its luster, but after thinking about it, if he could be teased a bit and get a stronger battle blade in return - please, Master, keep teasing me!
But since Owen had already made his promise, David yawned lazily and prepared to go back to sleep, but was stopped again by Owen, "There’s a good show to watch; do you want to see it?"
David, who feared that the world would not be in chaos, immediately brightened his eyes: "A must-see."
Owen also stood up and waved, "Follow me."
The two left the small camp, Owen walking with his hands behind his back, seemingly aimlessly venturing into the nearby wasteland mountains. David followed with curiosity, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly saw a huge, golden-radiating coffin placed under a large tree ahead!
"Hmm?" David was taken aback, finding it somewhat familiar... Wasn’t this the coffin found in the Henry Dragon Abyss? It was taken by Owen Bertram then, how did it end up here?
The golden radiance resembled a demon’s treasure in the dark night, luring the two "ignorant children" to open it quickly.
Owen Bertram drifted to the edge of the coffin, tapped his finger on it, and the sound was several degrees more muffled than before, indicating that there was something inside. He raised his eyebrow at David, asking, "Dare you open it?"
His expression greatly resembled that of a naughty child leading a good child to make a mistake!
David didn’t think he would be afraid, after all, his strength was in the Fifth Great Domain, but Owen Bertram’s sneaky appearance seemed to have intimidated him a bit.
He wasn’t worried about Owen harming him, he was worried about Owen tricking him...
"You, in the Fifth Great Domain... " Owen sneered, and David hurriedly begged for mercy: "Enough, I admit it. I’ll open it, okay?"
Owen burst into laughter, and David pushed the coffin lid open forcefully and then stepped back— he was on guard for any strange things arranged by Owen inside to tease him.
"As part of the Fifth Great Domain and Master Lane’s Six Close-body Tigers, you are truly mature and careful in handling matters!" Owen raised his thumb in praise, yet David knew he was actually mocking him.
There was nothing unusual in the coffin, which left David slightly red-faced. He looked inside and was genuinely shocked: "Winston!"
"Did you kill him?"
Owen waved his hands and feigned fear: "Don’t falsely accuse me. How could it be me?"
"First, he’s not dead."
"Second, I just accompanied you out for a walk in the beautiful moonlight. We stumbled upon this golden coffin, and Winston just happened to be lying inside."
"If you try to spread some nonsense in the yamen or in front of Master Lane, I’ll deny everything and even accuse you of frame-up!"
David rolled his eyes helplessly at him: "Not dead?"
"Of course, not dead." Owen unveiled the truth: "You can check his Three Souls and Seven Spirits to see if there’s any prohibition similar to what Irving had."
As a figure of Winston’s level, it was worth using soul prohibition measures.
Owen was not proficient in this area. However, David, who was a direct descendant of the Horizon Bureau, would definitely know how to check.
David snorted: "No wonder you brought me here." He didn’t refuse or ask how Owen got Winston— Since the Henry Case, David had been suspecting that Owen, a mere Prescott, had a powerful force of his own.
The Winston in front of him once again confirmed this judgment.
He was just a bit surprised that Owen was truly bold. This was an acting Prescott of the Horizon Bureau! Without evidence, he dared to directly capture and severely injure Winston! If it later proved impossible to show that Winston was guilty, Owen would be backfired with serious consequences!
However, David also knew that Winston was a key person in the Casterly County case.
As long as they could make a breakthrough from Winston, all questions would be addressed.
He began to examine Winston and could see at a glance that he had put up only "a little resistance" before being captured. His most important two lifesaving magical instruments had cracked, leaving no trace of a bitter fight.
That means the person who made the move was at least one Great Realm higher than Winston!
Winston was in the Third Great Boundary, which means the one who put him in the golden coffin was at least in the Fourth Great Realm! Which one from Owen’s hidden patrons could it be?
David somehow thought of the Henry Case, where Owen had betrayed and abandoned a certain female cultivator in the Darnell Prison.
Sophia of the Fourth Great Realm.
"Relying on women to achieve things."
"Controlling the world from the harem, huh!" David muttered to himself, then began to seriously check Winston’s souls and spirits.
