Chapter 359: Chapter 291: Revenge from Ten Thousand Years Later!_3
Interesting.
So interesting!
Baxter was right.
Mogarudia had no idea that all the Baxters were one and the same person!
So should I tell him?
No, no, no.
If Mogarudia flew into a rage and insisted on killing Baxter, wouldnât I be losing a loyal subordinate?
Since Baxter didnât say anything, I might as well keep quiet too.
âI want to discuss something with you,â Charlotte said.
âSpeak,â Mogarudia stared at her.
Lord Nine Phases.
He was getting more and more abnormal.
âDivas Baxter is mineâI need him to trigger inspiration, to find the direction for skill advancement,â Charlotte said.
âNo problem, but remember, Long Wu is mine; heâs working for me now,â Mogarudia said.
Charlotte nodded seriously and replied,
âThen letâs agree, Divas is mine, Long Wu is yours.â
âFine.â
âThen Iâll be going back now.â
âWait a moment, Lord Nine Phases.â
Mogarudia tossed something over.
Charlotte caught it and saw that it was a pill.
âWhat is this?â
âFound in the Great Tomb, it calms the mind. Take it and use it,â Mogarudia said.
âHmph, since itâs well-meant, I wonât bother to scold you,â Charlotte grumbled.
Charlotte took the pill and, with a flash of her physique, disappeared.
Mogarudia sat on the throne for a while longer.
âSigh⊠This guy is bound to cause big problems⊠We still need to find the Nightmare Weapon as soon as possible.â
âWhere is Baxter? Should I have him comeââ
A voice interrupted Mogarudiaâs thoughts:
âReport!â
âWhat is it? Speak,â Mogarudia commanded.
âAn assassin named Rosalia, wearing the badge of the Guard Commander, has arrived outside the palace.â
âShe requests an audience!â
RosaliaâŠ
One of Baxterâs subordinates.
âLet her in.â
âYes!â
A few minutes later.
Rosalia knelt on one knee and saluted Mogarudia.
âBaxter gave you the badge?â Mogarudia asked.
âYes, my lord, I have found something for you to look over.â
Rosalia held a heavy iron casket in both hands.
Mogarudia glanced at it and laughed.
âThe Divine Casket of Tian Luo? A pity itâs damaged. I remember it took quite an effort to craft this thing back in the day. You did well to find it,â he said.
He gestured with his hand.
The iron casket slowly flew towards him.
Mogarudia carefully examined it for a while, eventually nodding his head.
Indeed.
This was the Divine Casket of Tian Luo, crafted especially at the turn of the era to protect the âFive Desires Cageâ from the energy fluctuations of the void.
Mo Ga Ru laughed lightly, about to have Rosalia step down, when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Wait a moment.
âFive Desiresâ worldâŠ
How could it be considered a cage?
Why donât I remember this at all?
Mo Ga Ru sat there, falling into bewildered contemplation.
âŠ
Elsewhere.
The Marchioness Charlotteâs castle.
The tavern.
When Charlotte returned, Shen Ye was sitting at the bar counter, still tasting that glass of juice.
Centaur Carola was trapped on the other side by a Cage Spell.
Everything was normal.
âItâs settledâwhen you appear as Diva Baxter, Mo Ga Ru cannot interfere with your actions, you are my person,â
âAs long as you donât appear as Long Wu Baxter again, there will be no problem,â
Charlotte said casually.
âThen let Long Wu Baxter disappear from now on,â Shen Ye said.
âThatâs a good idea,â Charlotte was very pleased with his attitude.
More importantlyâ
âWhen do you plan to find the Ancient Corpse for me?â she asked.
âAnytime is fine, but Lord Nine Phases, I was just idly inquiring and asked about the whereabouts of Earth Mother,â Shen Ye said.
âWell, thatâs goodâwhat did you say!â
Charlotteâs voice suddenly rose.
ActuallyâŠ
Both Mo Ga Ru and I have the same most important task at present.
âSearching for Earth Mother.
Whether itâs Lord Nine Phases or Mo Ga Ru, both want to uncover the ultimate secret of this world!
Shen Ye had actually already asked about it?
âShe really told you?â Charlotte glanced at Carola.
Carola was still playing the flute.
She didnât glance in this direction at all, nor did she care about what was happening here.
âShe said it,â Shen Ye said.
Charlotte didnât immediately press for details, but instead approached the cage and spoke:
âCarola, why would you rather tell him than me?â
Carola recalled something Shen Ye had said earlier.
âAbsolutely do not lie.
Having interacted with Lord Nine Phases for a long time, Shen Ye had already keenly felt that Nine Phases had a method to discern truth from lies.
There was no evidence.
But evidence wasnât needed; being cautious was never wrong.
Carola stopped playing the flute and spoke:
âI know him; he once helped the beastmen, and he also found the Earth Gold Medal, which is a token of Earth Mother; I must trust him.â
Charlotte was taken aback, slowly turning to look at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye placed a gold leaf on the bar counter and shrugged: âMy lady, I have always been looking for clues to Earth Mother, and it seems I may have gained recognition.â
âEarth Mother?â Charlotte asked.
âMy lady, Earth Mother is imprisoned by Tian Luo! It must be some extremely powerful Seal, preventing her from returning to the world, which is why weâve used various methods and still havenât found her!â Shen Ye said with much enthusiasm.
âThis too was the truth.
Charlotte immediately sensed that.
âBaxter,â Charlotte murmured in admiration, âIâve finally come to realize something, and that is you indeed are a talented fellow, truly worthy of becoming one of my direct subordinates.â
Seizing the moment, Shen Ye said: âMy lady, may I take this Centaur into my custody? I guess she still has her uses.â
