The Legendary Man Chapter 884

The Legendary Man Chapter 884-Jonathan’s suspicious nature was something he himself could notchange.

In fact, it was inevitable since he had experienced far too much throughout the years.

It was not that he was cruel, but the bloody reality forced him to doubt the motives of everyone whoapproached him.

Ksana had also sensed the man’s solemnity by then and slowly stopped eating.

“What’s the second thing, then?”

“Secondly, it’s the direction you were traveling,” Jonathan replied placidly.

Subsequently, he continued, “You said that Sanctuary is based at Mount Enly. But Mount Enly is at theborders of Remdik and Western Epea. Meanwhile, the train we took was westbound. If the truth is asyou claimed, and you fled from Mount Enly, you would either head west toward Western Epea or easttoward the barren area at Centum Mountain. On the whole, you should be moving away from MountEnly. Why did you take the same train as me, heading toward Saspiuburg, which is close to MountEnly? This isn’t an escape route. Instead, you’re offering yourself up on a silver platter.”

At his question, Ksana carefully put away the baked beans she had opened before downing a big gulpof vodka.

After pondering for a moment, she asked, “What would you do if I can’t answer these two questions toyour satisfaction, Jonathan?”

“Kill you,” Jonathan answered unhesitatingly, taking out his Heaven Sword and plunging it into theground beside him.

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from the man, Ksana was not at all angered. Instead, shechortled.

She took a large swig of vodka and burped before stating, “Let’s start with your first question. BeforePaurius came out this time, he’d probably been baptized with Holy Blood.”

The instant Jonathan heard her response, a slight frown marred his countenance.

Isn’t Holy Blood drunk? Why is it now used for baptism?

Right then, Ksana did not bother keeping him in suspense but recalled every little detail aboutSanctuary.

“As I’ve said, the blue Holy Blood is a diluent of the purified blood extracted from the Remdik Emperor.However, that isn’t the only thing extracted. There’s another substance, and it’s rumored to have theability to reverse time and restore one’s youth so long as the person can survive the baptism. The GodRealm cultivators in Sanctuary are divided into two types—those who have successfully been baptizedand those who have never been baptized. I’ve never been baptized and must depend on Holy Blood forsurvival until my body is completely eroded by the poisonous elements within Holy Blood, and I slowlydie. On the other hand, there are others like Paurius. They survived the baptism of Holy Blood, andtheir bodies will soon generate new vitality. They don’t need Holy Blood to sustain their lives. Thisapplies to the three children you saw previously.”

Her explanation at present boggled Jonathan’s mind.

Even though I’ve accepted the fact that the Remdik Emperor’s corpse still has vitality left, the usage ofhis blood is downright ridiculous. Not only can it improve one’s cultivation level, but it can also restoreone’s youth, huh? In that case, It’s no longer blood but a drug of immortality!

Ksana did not bother about whether the man believed her but proceeded to answer his secondquestion.

“I took the westbound train to avoid those from Sanctuary. Previously, I’d also wanted to flee beyondRemdik’s east borders and go to Centum Mountain. But I only have three months left to live. What’s thepoint even if I took off to Centum Mountain and survived? I might as well die.”

“Since you had already escaped to Redlington, why didn’t you head south and cross River Onxy toenter into Chanaea? Then, you could’ve gone anywhere,” Jonathan pressed.

Shaking her head, Ksana sighed and lamented, “There’s no way I can survive in Doveston. Why doyou think Remdik’s soldiers suddenly gathered in Doveston? Do you really think it’s because of theminerals there?”

“Is that not so?”

That abrupt question from her puzzled Jonathan.

As a relatively qualified strategist, he and those from Asura’s Office had long since analyzed the reasonbehind Chanaea’s and Remdik’s mobilization of troops lately.

As both countries bordered each other on a vast stretch of land, there had been conflicts and frequentbattles since ancient times.

In the past hundred years, however, the situation between Chanaea and Remdik had stabilized due tothe rapid rise of Anglandur, which continuously supported the development of Central Epea andimpeded that of Remdik.

Other than the intense battle between Medved Army and Eastern Army that terrified the entire world adecade ago, there had not been any large-scale exchange of fire.

Based on Jonathan’s conjecture, Remdik’s troops headed south that time around because they wereaware of Chanaea’s current state of affairs.

He surmised they wanted to seize advantage of the conflict between Yaleview Army and Asura’s Officeto occupy Doveston for the myriad of rich minerals there.

But as of then, it would seem from Ksana’s tone that there was some other reason behind the matter.

“According to the information I gathered, Jonathan, you’re one of the representatives of Chanaea’smilitary forces. I really didn’t expect your thinking to be so simple!” Ksana exclaimed in surprise.

She then continued, “The north of Remdik is close to Aizkovos. It has the largest territory in the world,but its population only stands at less than a hundred and fifty million. Verily, it’s spacious but sparselypopulated. Honestly speaking, we can’t even survey our own land for mines. How would we have thetime to bother about Chanaea’s mines in Doveston?”

Following her remark, Jonathan’s heart sank inexplicably.

Wars struck at a country’s economic resources, and that was also ultimately the reason they werefought.

By then, Remdik had already sent four hundred thousand soldiers to the north of River Onxy.

That aside, there were still close to half a million troops ready to be mobilized anytime.

With such numbers, they could conquer eighty percent of the small countries in the world in a brieftime.

Once war broke out, fatalities in Chanaea and Remdik would likely amount to hundreds of thousands.

If resources were not the reason behind such a tragic war, the true motivation behind it was bound tobe even more shocking.novelbin

“What exactly are Remdik’s troops doing, then?” Jonathan asked.

“I was considered a core member of Sanctuary back then, and I heard other God Agents speaking ofthe matter. They’re purportedly looking for a tomb,” Ksana replied.

“A tomb?”

“Yeah.”

She cast her mind back carefully before she clarified emphatically, “It’s a tomb, seemingly belonging tosome general. I don’t know the details.”

A general’s tomb?

Jonathan looked at her in bewilderment.

The whole of Doveston only flourished after the great population migration in Chanaea three hundredyears ago. While there have been several renowned generals from Doveston in the past three hundredyears, their tombs aren’t that significant to start a war between the two countries. And even if therewere treasures hidden in there, it’d be far better to secretly dispatch a few God Realm cultivators to findthem than to have hundreds of thousands of people going over.

“Do you know the name of that general, Ksana?” he asked.

With a shrug, Ksana replied, “Sorry, but no. I’m not Chanaean. But I remember hearing a God Agentsay that the general alone could intimidate all the countries in the world, for he was a veritablepowerhouse.”
