Recalling that he had been yanked by some strong and invisible force earlier—before he blacked out—the shocked priest then muttered, “W-who are you…?”
“Who I am doesn’t matter. However, what does matter is who you people are, and what you’re allplanning to do here on Sacrasolis Mountain,” replied Gerald as he slowly turned around before staringcoldly at the man.
The second that man saw Gerald, his entire body began trembling uncontrollably as he stuttered, “Y-young Master?! It’s you?!”
Watching as the terrified man knelt right before him, Gerald couldn’t help but frown slightly as hecuriously muttered, “…Young Master?”
“Indeed! Still, when exactly did arrive, Young Master?” asked the priest
“I can come and go as I please, can’t I?” sneered Gerald in response.
While he wasn’t exactly sure why the priest was referring to him as ‘Young Master,’ Gerald still felt thatthis was the perfect opportunity to bait some information out of the man. He was hoping that someprobing around would do the trick.
“Also, you’ve yet to answer my first question!” added Gerald in a commanding tone.
Hearing that, the frightened priest quickly bowed before replying, “H-how could you possibly haveforgotten, Young Master…? Regardless, we’re all here since we got secret orders from the family to
head to Sacrasolis Mountain to refine the holy stone! There’s an area here called the Sacrasolis Pond,and we’ve been refining the Sacrasolis Holy stone for over a month now!”
“The Sacrasolis Holy Stone, you say? I see. And what happened to all the original priests fromSacrasolis Church then?” asked Gerald as he nodded while slowly piecing together the bigger picture.
“W-well, anyone who wasn’t compliant was killed on the spot… The rest of them are currentlyimprisoned in the dungeon! Regardless, I wonder if the chief knows that you’re already here, YoungMaster? I can immediately report to Mr. Hoyt Crawford about your presence if you’d like!” replied thepriest.
“That can wait. Speaking of which, have you heard of a person called Master Ghost before?” askedGerald, now more certain than ever that there were loads of secrets hidden within this mountain.
“Master Ghost? But of course, I know him! After all, you were the one who ordered us to hunt himdown! If you’ve forgotten, we already have him in our hands! You even ordered the chief to keep aclose eye on him at all times!” said the priest.
“So Master Ghost has been captured by your group this entire time?!” replied Gerald as he slightlyraised an eyebrow.
“…Y-young Master…? What are you…?” muttered the priest as he raised a slight brow as well, finallyrealizing that the person in front of him seemed to have a rather different personality compared to theyoung master he knew… Besides, wasn’t it bizarre that the young master of all people was asking himall these questions…?
‘Well, this is just perfect! To think that I’d get all this information that easily!’ Gerald thought to himself.
As it turned out, Master Ghost had fled all the way to Sacrasolis Mountain to hide within SacrasolisChurch, and all this had led to the incident where he had met Xyrielle and told her about her fortune atthe back of the mountain a while back. Unfortunately, this group of ‘priests’ came over sometime laterand completely turned Sacrasolis Mountain upside-down for two distinct reasons. Firstly, to seek outand capture Master Ghost, and secondly, to gain access to the Sacrasolis Pond.
With that said, no wonder he couldn’t find where Master Ghost was this entire time!
“…So, who is this Hoyt Crawford that you mentioned? Also, detail me a bit more on your youngmaster,” replied Gerald with a smile.
“…H-huh? So, you really aren’t the young master…?!” replied the priest as he instantly got to his feet, avigilant expression on his face.
“I’m honestly surprised it took you this long to notice,” replied Gerald with a chuckle, knowing full wellthat this man was trying to escape.
