Chapter 1122

Chapter1122 Turning to look at the second mural, Gerald saw that it was about the lady in white’s burial. On the dayof her burial itself, a thunderstorm seemed to be present.

Inclusive of the old man, Gerald counted—relatively easily—thirty-seven people in the next image, withnine people standing in each of the four rows that were drawn. With the thunderstorm still raging on,the people in this team seemed to be the only ones who had been chosen to set off to the palace of thegoddess.

Halfway through their journey there, they appeared to halt at an island to take a short rest.

However, something happened soon after as was seen on the third mural. The ones on the island weregreeted by the sight of a giant ship!

This wasn’t the first time Gerald had seen this ship either. It was exactly similar to the one he had seenin the tomb before this.

Seeing the oddly-shaped massive ship hovering atop the island, the thirty-six people the beggar hadbrought along immediately fell to their knees in terror and began worshiping it. From what Gerald couldassume, they were all under the impression that some god was descending.

Following that, Gerald’s eyes widened as he saw a man dressed in a black robe—who was alsowearing an odd mask—descend the giant ship before pointing at the goddess’s coffin.

The sight of the man alone was enough to make Gerald feel extremely anxious. After all, he wasdressed exactly like the men Lyra had seen in the picture of the sun!

Was this hinting that he would be killed by those from the Sun League in the near future…? Frowningto himself, Gerald then continued reading.novelbin

Now nearing the end of the third mural, Gerald saw the old beggar jumping into the giant ship beforewalking into it. As for the others, they appeared to be trying to carry the coffin away…

Moving on to the fourth mural, it began by showing the old beggar continuing his journey with his groupof men. Apparently, what happened in the giant ship was completely skipped.

Odder still was the fact that instead of thirty-six people like there were before, only twenty-sevenremained… Where had the nine people disappeared to?

However, Gerald didn’t have the time to dwell on that due to how unreal the next set of images was.

Once they got close enough to the palace of the goddess, all of them were immediately greeted to thesight of an injured dragon that was flailing around in the ocean! That itself wouldn’t have been aproblem if the dragon wasn’t doing so on top of the structure!

The next image displayed the old man relieving the dragon of its agony by crushing its skull, thusending its life. However, the moment he did so, it seemed that the thunderstorm only worsened.

As a result, the boat seemed ready to capsize and Gerald could see all the remaining men falling totheir knees in terror.

In the fifth mural, the goddess’s coffin could be seen being sent down together with the now deaddragon’s body. Both of them were then buried together.

From the insane amount of detail put into drawing the submerged structure, Gerald felt that it trulylooked like an undersea palace fit for dragons.

Regardless, all of them were apparently able to remain submerged for so long due to something the oldbeggar handed to them before they went under the waves. The old beggar’s knowledge truly played ahuge role in all this…

Finally moving on to the sixth mural, Gerald found himself raising an eyebrow. The very first imageshowed the people returning to the deck of the ship. However, they had brought up another coffin thatwas completely made out of glass!

Since the coffin wasn’t that big, Gerald simply assumed that the person inside was a child.

Regardless, while everyone seemed to be particularly careful as they carried the coffin, one of the menapparently ended up slipping…

…Huh?

The last image simply showed the coffin being overturned… However, that was it. The final muralended there.

Guessing that the murals were drawn by one of the thirty-six people who had been chosen to board theboat, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly upset and irked by the fact that he wasn’t able to finishreading the entire story…

Where did the small glass coffin end up…?
