Chapter 156: Chapter 104: Run Away! The Omen of Death in the Royal Capital

"I really want to know why my trip to the Royal Capital changed from great fortune to an omen of great misfortune!"

Gu Shanhai was somewhat flabbergasted; he hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

"For now, it must be related to something I just acquired. The ’blank invitation’ can be excluded first, as it belongs to the ’First Epoch’ and is of a higher order than this world."

"Next would be the treasure map of a buried fate that the Fairy Travel Merchant sold to me, and the Destiny Stone I found myself."

As for it being brought by the Fairy Travel Merchant? That was impossible. With Gu Shanhai’s strength, he couldn’t fathom the existence of such powerful beings who wandered the myriad realms. If he had been able to divine it, it wouldn’t have been Little Ji before, but great fortune.

"The greater likelihood is the Destiny Stone, followed by the treasure map. I have a feeling that something bad is afoot," Gu Shanhai said with a hint of resignation.

The change from great fortune to an omen of great misfortune could only mean that these two items were possibly involved in some major events. The previous omen of great misfortune involved two legendary heroes of the future coming to assassinate him. Although the outcome favored Gu Shanhai’s victory, it was a Pyrrhic one, leaving him seriously injured to the point of near fatality.

If he went to the Royal Capital, it was certainly going to be more dangerous, so he chose without hesitation to steer clear.

"Could it be that the Stone of Destiny is capable of interacting with my Destiny Stone in a way that could lead to some unintended behaviors or severe consequences?"

Gu Shanhai lacked any solid leads. He dove deeper into divination and prophecy, and saw himself being pierced through and killed by a Light Sword, which puzzled him.

"Light Sword·Flarglak... seeking revenge for his son Sethanda?" Gu Shanhai recognized the sword. Yes, it was an inferior replica of the Revenge Sword·Answer, owned by Kesba Sun.

"If I go to the Royal Capital, will he dare to strike at me?"

Kesba Sun’s wife was the sister of the King of Conche. It was highly probable she represented her kingdom in congratulating Atilis on his coronation in Camelot Kingdom. Logically, she wouldn’t be sent over, as it could ruin the relations between the two kingdoms.

"It’s more likely he’s coming as a Druid and will seek to kill me under some grand pretense. It’s a checkmate," Gu Shanhai quickly realized some critical points.

To kill him, it had to be done openly. An assassination or a hunt would provoke a retaliation from the native Druids, something Kesba couldn’t withstand because he wasn’t alone; he had a family. If he were a bachelor, he undoubtedly would have come to kill without hesitation.

"There are many justifications, so I really can’t avoid this."

Since he couldn’t avoid it, he simply wouldn’t go. If he had to choose between life and benefits, he would definitely pick the former.

From his vision of death, he could see that no one was helping him and that he was in a palace. Unfortunately, due to the angle of death, he couldn’t see exactly where it was, only managing to notice some figures watching.

"It seems that I must have done something to warrant no one coming to my rescue."

Otherwise, how could Kesba possibly stall the five Druid Elders of the Impressed Order, along with Kurus Brass and Morico Polaris and their Returnees? Such an immense force was something Kesba couldn’t match in terms of offering a deal or bearing the consequences.

These people were natural allies of Gu Shanhai and would definitely stand on his side, not to mention Atilis.

Therefore, his assassination could only mean he was in the way or had done something that necessitated his death and the others couldn’t intervene on his behalf.

"So, I guess it’s time to hunt for treasure~" After abandoning the idea of going to the Royal Capital, Gu Shanhai took out the treasure map and prepared to hunt for treasure.

The Royal Capital urging him? It didn’t matter anymore. He simply needed to send a letter stating he had sudden matters to attend to, without mentioning his whereabouts or movements.

To avoid being targeted by the opposition.

"Minor misfortune yet accompanied by a fortune... Sigh, let’s just go see." Gu Shanhai divined once more, this time focusing on the auspices of heading to the location of the treasure.

There was danger, but there was also the promise of gain.

"However, it seems that something is shielding it, preventing precise location of the site, and it appears to be a fair distance away."

Gu Shanhai assessed the situation on the map. The distance had already exceeded the boundaries of Camelot Kingdom. Judging by his current speed, it would take at least a month’s travel.

"Forget it, let’s treat it as a retreat. I refuse to believe I can’t outlast them."

He was unaware if Kesba had already arrived at the Royal Capital, but he knew that he wouldn’t stay long. Could he stay for one or two months, let alone half a year?

Even if he wanted to stay, that would definitely cause unnecessary problems. If he were only a Druid, that wouldn’t be a problem, but unfortunately, he was more than just a Druid, which was rather awkward.

Theoretically, Gu Shanhai could wait for the other to leave, and he could return to the Royal Capital in great fortune. No chance! As long as he had the Destiny Stone on him, he wouldn’t go back.

"Not sure what could be buried in a treasure of fate." Having confirmed the direction, Gu Shanhai prepared to find a city to buy a mount.

If he had to travel on foot, it would be too troublesome. And to have Fierce General accompany him, that would defeat the purpose of biding time instead of truly seeking the treasure.
