Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543: The Disappearing Book

Ancient texts?

Julius Reed suddenly felt that these immortals held too many secrets.

From the seven weapons to the ancient texts now mentioned by Elaenor Wood.

Pendleton’s secrets seemed endless.

He walked to the door, drew the Late Night Sword of the Great Zhou, lost in thought.

Who would be the one to forge these weapons?

Whether it was the Late Night Sword of the Great Zhou or the Crimsonal Hollow, the craftsmanship was exceedingly exquisite.

Moreover, the material of the Crimsonal Hollow could even cause the sharp Late Night Sword of the Great Zhou to vibrate so intensely that he couldn’t hold onto the hilt!

Very rare!

Sadly, the Crimsonal Hollow was not left behind.

But it doesn’t matter, what’s his will eventually return to him.

“I received Nelson’s message and rushed back,” Julius Reed glanced at the corpse on the ground, his eyes full of disdain, “Unexpectedly, there were petty rogues causing trouble. Are you alright?”

He walked to Gabriel Young and held her wrist.

Her pulse was relatively stable.

Gabriel Young, after all, was a Martial Artist, and with Nelson’s timely warning, apart from some injuries, there was no fatal danger.

Getting injured was inevitable.

A few days of rest, and there would be no problem.

“I’m alright.” Gabriel Young lay on the bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket, squeezing out a faint smile, “With you here, what could happen?”

“What were they talking about, the ancient texts, what are they?” Julius Reed sat by the bed, changing the subject.

Right now was not the time for romance.

The item that Emperor Charlotte Grey sought first after emerging must be valuable.

“The ancient texts… I really don’t know.” Gabriel Young thought for a moment, but couldn’t recall anything in the Young Family that would attract disaster.

“But seeing Emperor Charlotte Grey’s assertive manner and his impatient demeanor, the item must be in the Young Family. Could it be that your family lost it, or your brother hid it?” Elaenor Wood’s complexion had recovered considerably.

After the Nether Fire entered her body and neutralized the cold energy, her internal organs felt warm and protected.

Very comfortable.

“Seeing Emperor Charlotte Grey’s urgency, the item must be important to him. If we want to eliminate this group of immortals, we must find this ancient text. Swimming City is no longer safe, I think we should quickly obtain the item and then leave.” Elaenor Wood looked at Julius Reed, shrugged helplessly, “They’re really hard to kill.”

“It’s as hard as it is simple.” Julius Reed turned his head and asked, “I heard you killed Ghost Seven when you arrived?”

“Killed him, turned him to dust,” Elaenor Wood nodded, “There are many secrets in Ghost Seven’s abode. Why don’t we take a look first?”

“No rush. When did you discover Ghost Seven was also an immortal? He hid so well, that when I came to Swimming City to kill the then City Lord, I casually broke his leg, yet he hid for hundreds of years. You just arrived and discovered it?” Julius Reed was puzzled.

Ghost Seven’s concealment was indeed deep.

Very hard to find.

“Because I poisoned Ghost Seven’s tea, yet he didn’t die. Honestly, I almost suspected it was you wearing Night Fairy’s mask and pretending to be Ghost Seven.”

Elaenor Wood spread her hands with some helplessness, “Very few in this world survive my poison. There was only one reason, he was an immortal. Honestly, it felt absurd until I discovered one of his subordinates…”

“Ghost Seven’s subordinates recklessly stabbed each other with cards up to ten times and didn’t die, they’re practically monsters.”

At the words, Julius Reed furrowed his brows slightly, “No wonder. But for now, we need to find that ancient text. I’m curious to see what item Emperor Charlotte Grey is desperately seeking.”

“But…” On the bed, Gabriel Young’s face turned mournful, “I really don’t know about any ancient texts in our Young Family.”

After speaking, she strained to stand and walked to the ground.

“Let me take you to have a look.” Gabriel Young felt very troubled.

The Young Family posed no threat now, yet why wouldn’t the factions let her go?

Dragging her weary body, she, supported by Merrill Caldwell, slowly headed to the Young Family’s crystal hall.

After such events, Merrill Caldwell began to become silent, her eyes lacking their usual joy, as if she had changed personality.

Her cheeks were still flushed, struck by surprise.

Passing by the corpse on the ground, Merrill Caldwell inadvertently stepped on its crotch and ground it hard.

Seeing this, Julius Reed knew Merrill Caldwell was alright, just probably gloomy.

With the bedroom a mess, Young Family Martial Artists hurriedly followed behind, fearing Emperor Charlotte Grey might return.

“All our Young Family treasures are hidden in the secret room. Only core members of the Young Family are eligible to know about the secret room,” Gabriel Young introduced while walking on the cobbled path, “But after today, I’m afraid I have to leave here too.”

“Leaving is a must, staying is a threat,” Julius Reed followed behind, speaking absentmindedly.

He held the Late Night Sword of the Great Zhou in hand, but the feeling was completely different.

Previously, he thought it was simply a handy weapon.

Yet after hearing Emperor Charlotte Grey’s words, Julius Reed suddenly realized the divine weapon in his hands was unmistakably sharp!

From the moment he picked up the weapon, it emitted an overpowering aura.

Over the centuries, he had adapted.

Hence, he didn’t find the Late Night Sword of the Great Zhou particularly remarkable.

But no other weapon seemed appealing; something felt missing.

Now, it appeared to be lacking that sharpness.

“Wait a moment.” As they reached the entrance of the crystal hall, Gabriel Young stopped, taking off the necklace around her neck.noveldrama

At the threshold of the crystal hall, there was a discreet little hole.

Gabriel Young inserted the pendant from her necklace into the hole, gently twisting it.

Boom!

The ground trembled along.

The originally marble-covered floor suddenly split to the sides!

And from below, something akin to a bookshelf slowly rose.

The entire process lasted half a minute.

After half a minute.

The interior of the crystal hall had transformed.

A sense of antiquity surged.

Bookshelves stood in the crystal hall, and the flooring switched to black wood boards.

“All of our Young Family treasures are inside here. Feel free to have a look.” Gabriel Young leaned against the entrance, coughing softly.

Julius Reed didn’t hesitate, striding into the room.

He gently touched the bookshelf.

It had a sense of age, presumably over a thousand years old.

Dust covered the shelves.

Various treasures, several books, and some weapons were there.

The accumulation of Young Family wealth over a millennium was essentially stored here.

Though precious, in Julius Reed’s eyes, they were worthless.

The ancient texts should be a book.

Yet, there were only three books inside.

All three were Young Family martial arts books, having no value in Julius Reed’s eyes.

Emperor Charlotte Grey, high-minded and having achieved immortality, would never covet such items.

“No luck.”

After careful inspection, Julius Reed walked out disappointed.

“What are you searching for?”

At some point, Ambrose Young arrived at the front of the crystal hall, asking with complex emotions, “Dad, are you okay?”

From the incident occurring to the Young Family until now, Ambrose Young didn’t know where he went, only appearing now.

Julius Reed didn’t respond.

“Could Emperor Charlotte Grey’s information be wrong, or is he just posturing?” He looked at Gabriel Young, “Inside there were only three books, not the supposed ancient texts.”

“Four books!”

Ambrose Young interjected, “Originally, there were four books.”
