Chapter 603: Chapter 386: The Torch Organization, Profoundly Unspoken!

Yue Luoxi ascended the stairs, walking through this familiar place she hadn’t set foot in for several months.

She arrived in front of the quiet room where her grandmother had been in seclusion for many years, feeling somewhat uneasy.

She was aware of her grandmother’s condition—even while she was in Blazing Fire Mall, she constantly kept an eye on her hometown’s situation and corresponded with her grandmother through letters, although the other tower masters were unaware of it.

Ever since hiring two top mercenary groups, the crisis of the Blackstone Alliance had been resolved, and her grandmother, the first tower master, finally no longer needed to stand on the front lines.

Therefore, even though her grandmother’s condition was not optimistic, it was not as terrible as it was before she had consumed the life-extending fruit last year.

What made her nervous was whether she could persuade her grandmother.

Although she had used her innate talent to multitask and simultaneously work three jobs, earning a considerable amount of contribution points to exchange for "life-extending fruits," "mind-clearing tea leaves," "waters of life," and other precious treasures, she was acutely aware that these treasures were not enough to cure her grandmother.

No treasure could eradicate severe pollution corrosion.

The life-extending fruit’s effect was far less the second time around compared to the first.

Unless...

She pushed the door open and entered.

...

Although the Blackstone Alliance was at the Great Oasis level, it had only been established for a few decades, and it had been promoted to Great Oasis even more recently; the architectural style of the entire oasis was very simple, dominated by dark colors, especially the first high tower.

The entire high tower appeared to be constructed from black boulders. There weren’t many open windows, making the tower interior gloomy and dark. Madam Elucis, who wielded the Heart of the Oasis as the first tower master, was now hiding in this shadowy, dark environment.

She had grown accustomed to such surroundings, where the dimness better shielded her from external disturbances, allowing her to focus on the task at hand. After the pollution began eroding her, Tower Master Elucis found that she developed an aversion to light—a clear side effect from the pollution corrosion.

So she hid even more often in this dark, sealed quiet room.

But compared to the worry she felt a year ago, when her life was approaching its end, the first tower master was not in despair. Because she had an exceptionally outstanding granddaughter. Not only did her granddaughter secure reinforcements at the time of great peril, which saved Blackstone Alliance from collapsing, but she also moved beyond the threat of death and advanced to Six Senses!

Her granddaughter Yue Luoxi had already reached the Common Peak List, solid enough to secure the position of the first tower master and lead Blackstone Alliance forward. With this, even if she would waste away immediately, she had no regrets.

"You’re back."

The elderly first tower master let out a kind but terrifyingly grim smile to others. As the door opened, a sliver of light seeped in, and Madam Elucis, sitting inside, had half her body hidden in darkness and the other half exposed to faint light, as if a ghoul was leaning out of the shadows, clearly revealing the wriggling blood vessels and scarlet scars on her wrinkled face.

Seeing her granddaughter take out one precious treasure after another from the Strange Implement, emitting faint halos of light, the old woman appeared astonished. Recognizing treasures like the "life-extending fruit" and "mind-clearing tea leaves," she was shocked and worried at the same time.

She remembered her granddaughter mentioning working in Blazing Fire Mall to buy some medicine to bring back, but she never imagined these medicines would be precious treasures comparable to legendary materials.

All the high-grade treasures of the entire Blackstone Alliance combined might not even match the value of these few treasures!

This...

Only three or four months had passed, yet her granddaughter had earned enough to buy so many treasures. What kind of job was she doing?

The old woman hesitated to speak, and when she was about to, she hesitated again. Opening her mouth, it ultimately turned into a deep sigh.

She shook her head, "I’m well aware of my own body’s condition; there’s no need to waste these treasures. Exchange them for resources the alliance needs more."

"These treasures can’t cure you, but... there is something that can... it’s just..."

Yue Luoxi also hesitated, her mouth opening but not releasing words, obviously struggling to speak.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say it, but that she couldn’t.

The contract clearly stated that secrets could not be disclosed to anyone outside the organization. Flamefire, mentors, Awakening, eradicating pollution... these were all strictly confidential.

Although there was a solution, she just couldn’t outright say it, and could only indirectly hint at it to her grandmother, which frustrated Yue Luoxi so much she almost stamped her foot in irritation.

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of life; grandmother has lived a rather splendid life already. Now I just need to pass on the mantle of Blackstone Alliance to you, and then I’ll have no regrets."

"It’s not that... but there is... "

Yue Luoxi scratched her head fiercely, turning her beautiful silver hair into a disheveled mess. After pacing back and forth a few times, she finally gave up.

"Grandma, here’s a contract. I can’t disclose the excess details. I can only say that signing this contract is very beneficial for you... I really can’t explain more, ow!"

Yue Luoxi gazed at her grandmother with bright eyes.

She felt somewhat nervous. Elderly people like her grandmother were often very stubborn, but she couldn’t think of a better way.

Of course, there were alternatives; if she advanced to myth, her persuasive power would increase significantly, making it much easier to convince her grandmother. However, it had only been three months since she advanced to Six Senses, so a mythic Awakening was out of the question in the short term, and she didn’t want to delay any longer!

After she finished speaking, to Yue Luoxi’s surprise, her grandmother didn’t even glance at the contract’s content before biting her thumb, pressing down a heavy blood fingerprint on it.
