The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1156

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1156 Looking at how weakly Chester was apologizing, Gerald then gently patted him on the shoulder beforesaying, “It’s fine… After all, we’ve… We seem to have finally arrived at the king of the ocean’spalace…”

After saying that, Gerald went silent for a while, utterly stunned by what he was now looking at.

Not hearing anything from Gerald for a while, Chester then looked up as well. His eyes widened themoment he did, and he found his mouth gaping as he stared at the extremely magnificent-lookingpalace that lay before them.

The palace looked befitting of a dragon, and in the middle of the structure, was an enormous highplatform. What stupefied Gerald most, however, was the fact that hovering about twenty feet above theplatform, was a crystal coffin!

‘It’s another eternal coffin!’ Gerald thought to himself in his bewilderment.

So it really was true… The woman in white truly had been buried within an eternal coffin here afterbeing separated from the deity!

Still, Gerald couldn’t help but wonder why the old beggar had deliberately placed them so far awayfrom each other… What could the old man’s intention have been by disallowing the two to ever meetfor all of eternity?

As Gerald was deep in thought, the corner of his eye saw Chester pointing at the surrounding muralsas he said, “…There are murals all over the place, sir… They seem to describe everything that had

happened that eventually led to all this…”

After glancing one more time at the woman in white’s eternal coffin, Gerald turned to look at the muralstogether with Chester.

Similar to the underground palace in the desert, this place was also filled to the brim with murals.novelbin

Skimming through the images, Gerald confirmed that the murals were mostly detailing the tale of thewoman in white’s burial. More specifically, they talked about the burial process and the origins of thewoman in white’s corpse. In other words, mostly things that Gerald was already aware of.

Among the murals, however, occasional abstract words could be found. Gerald, for one, had no ideawhat they meant. After all, they were vastly different from the words he had seen in previous murals.

All of a sudden, he heard Chester mutter, “…Hmm? Cavern language?”

Turning to look at Chester, Gerald saw that he was also staring at a few abstract words that had beenetched onto another wall.

“Cavern language?” asked Gerald as he went to Chester’s side.

“Indeed, sir. You see, the language was used exclusively by an ancient tribe who were cave dwellers.My family had a collection of animal skin rolls belonging to said cave dwellers, and my grandma hadforced me to learn the meaning of some of their words and characters when I was much younger…”explained Chester.

Raising an eyebrow, Gerald then replied, “Does that mean that you’re able to read and understand thelanguage?”

Briefly skimming through the words, Chester then scratched the back of his head as he said, “…Atmost, I feel that I’ll only be able to understand a little over half of it… The rest will mostly be

guesswork.”

“That’s already way better than me since I can’t make heads or tails of it. Either way, do tell me whatyou think the words are trying to say,” replied Gerald as he patted Chester’s shoulder.

Hearing that, Chester immediately began trying to decipher the words very seriously.

It was around ten minutes later when he said, “…The text seems to be talking about some mysteriousprophecy… It also keeps repeating a few words…”

Upon saying that, Chester then began pointing at a few words, guiding his finger along each word ashe explained what they individually meant.

“The sentence that keeps getting repeated says, ‘Two petals bloom and each petal represents a world.The answer you seek is in one of them!’”

“Two petals bloom and each petal represents a world… That’s what it truly says?” asked Gerald forconfirmation.

“That’s right, sir!” replied Chester as he immediately nodded.

The mysterious old woman had said the exact same thing to him back then… Speaking of the oldwoman, Gerald had earlier used his mind to search his surroundings, yet he couldn’t sense the oldwoman’s presence at all.

‘Could she have left the moment we fainted…? But that doesn’t make any sense! With the currents sostrong out there, even I can’t go against them, let alone her!’

However, Gerald quickly shook the thoughts off. That wasn’t the main thing he should be focusing on atthe moment…

Moving back to what Chester had told him… Each petal represents a world… While Gerald wasdefinitely sure that it was referring to the Dead Annies, he had no idea where to even begincomprehending the text.

Slowly frowning, Gerald then asked, “Is there anything else? Also, which part of that made you feel thatit sounds like a prophecy?”

“Well, the rest of the words state that someone will appear after ten thousand years and bring the fairyaway to be reunited with her lover after being separated throughout that period of time… Once they’vebeen reunited, the person who brings them back together will also be able to find his answer… Evenso, the answer may seem far but also very near at the same time…”

Just as Chester had said, while he was able to discern most of the words, he still needed a great dealof effort to properly translate them.

After a brief pause, he then continued, “…Because he owns the… key to carry away the eternalcoffin… He’s the only one who’s able to truly open the eternal coffin!”

“A key?”

“Yeah. Or at least something very similar to a key!” replied Chester.

After thinking about it for a while, Gerald then said, “…Could it perhaps be referring to this…?”
