Female Novel
Chapter 2512 Great Calamity
All these years, Ira had always taken great care of Emily, never once reprimanding her.
While they were not related by blood, they were just like family.
Ira seemingly sensed Emily's anguish. Her initially glacial and forbidding look eased slightly, andshe coaxed, “Go out first, Emily. I really have something important to say to Jared. He even hastrouble standing up at present, so he wouldn't be able to lift his weapon even if you were to give it tohim. So, just leave it for now.”
“Okay.” Emily nodded before glancing at Jared. Jared also motioned for her to step out.
Despite having no idea what Ira wanted to discuss with him, he surmised that the elderly lady meanthim no harm. After all, he had been unconscious for several days, and she would have acted agesago if that had been her intention.
After Emily had gone out, Ira walked into the room. Although she was blind, Jared could sense asense of oppression emanating from her.
“Who exactly are you?” Ira demanded.
“And who are you?” Jared countered.
He found it incredulous that Ira was a demon yet living in a small mountain village occupied byhumans.
Aware that the man had discovered her identity, Ira answered frankly, “I'm a demon spirit fromScarlet Blood Castle. Our clan of demon spirits was being hunted down, so I went into hiding in thissmall mountain village here for decades.”
Jared found her pretty honest. While he had no idea where Scarlet Blood Castle was, much lesswhy the demon spirits from Scarlet Blood Castle were being hunted, she did not seem to be lying tohim.
“I'm someone from the mundane world,” Jared likewise divulged.
Right after he had said so, Ira retorted loudly, “Nonsense! How could you possibly be from themundane world when you're in possession of the Divine Bow? That's a divine weapon in EtherealRealm! Countless people wanted it, but they all failed to obtain it. How could someone like you fromthe mundane world have it?”
In Ira's perspective, innumerable people with immense capabilities in Ethereal Realm wanted to gettheir hands on the Divine Bow. Yet, they all failed to do so. Therefore, it made no sense that Jaredcould obtain it so easily if he were from the mundane world.
“I'm indeed from the mundane world. As for how I came into possession of the Divine Bow, that'snone of your business, and I have no comments on that.”
Despite believing that the elderly woman would not harm him, he could not possibly tell hereverything.
“So, what's with your injuries? Your blood essence was close to exhaustion, your meridiansshattered, your spiritual sense damaged, and your elixir field depleted. Right now, you're just anempty shell. I didn't expect you to be able to regain consciousness in merely three days. If it weresomeone else, he would've long since been dead!” Ira drawled.
“I was injured by an enemy in the mundane world. As for how I ended up here, I'm not sure either.All I know is that I was sucked into a black hole. Then, I appeared here, saved by Emily,” Jaredadmitted.
Ira said nothing, a frown marring her countenance. A long while passed before she uttered, “I'llallow you to stay here since you once saved Emily. In your current condition, you'll die if you go out.As for the Divine Bow, I had Emily hide it. In your weak state, it'll only bring you disaster. Whenyou've recovered, I'll have her return it to you. Don't worry, for I'll never covet it though it's a divineweapon.”novelbin
With that said, she pivoted and headed out of the room. When she reached the door, she abruptlyhalted and added, “Although you're now awake, you can't simply roam around, let alone leave RockVillage, lest you bring great calamity upon the villagers here!”
