Chapter 811: Chapter 350: Great Calamity Curio: The 4th Historical Discourse

"Yes," Kafney said with certainty, "unlike Henry VIII at that time. He was really close to dying of old age.

He was so thin back then, just skin and bones, with deep hollows in his cheeks and eye sockets, his skin dull and lacking any elasticity, and he could only eat very little. He lay in bed all day but couldn’t sleep, and aged more each day... In the end, Prince Philip looked like a skeleton.

At that time, he never left his room, and only I would visit him. And then, I witnessed him perform the Blood-eating Holy Rite, and after that his body started to recover day by day. In less than a week, he regained the appearance of a middle-aged man, and within a month he looked like a young man..."

At this point, Kafney also realized the problem.

"Philip couldn’t have been unaware that the Blood-eating Holy Rite couldn’t extend the life of royalty. But at the time, the only one who saw all this was you... or rather, his purpose in performing the Blood-eating Holy Rite in front of you was to attract your attention to this detail and lead you to inadvertently overlook other aspects.

"And after Philip reappeared, your words as a child, that ’he was about to die of old age,’ could easily be dismissed as exaggeration by others."

"Moreover..." Annan spoke slowly, "at that time your spiritual vision talent had become so prominent that it was almost driving you insane."

But the Eldest Princess was different.

That woman, who evoked the image of a serene moth, had wisdom and a certain amount of skepticism, much like one of her brothers and her niece, Kafney.

If she had known about this matter, she would probably have interrogated further.

Even the information from "crazy Kafney" would not be immediately dismissed by her but instead cautiously investigated.

"So it was like this..."

Kafney sighed deeply, her lips pursed, "It’s all because I was too foolish. If I hadn’t been distracted by Philip back then..."

"There are no ’ifs’."

Annan said in a low voice, "Although Philip is neither a Transcendent nor a Ritualist, he somehow knows Divine Arts and understands the mysterious knowledge about rituals. I suspect this has something to do with Noah’s Great Calamity Curio—precisely why the Silver Baron has completely ignored it.

"He appears lazy and greedy, gluttonous and lascivious, but he poses a far greater danger than the capable-looking and strong-willed Eldest Princess."

"—Well said, Annan."

With the clear sound of a silver coin being flipped,

a bright, cheerful voice came from beside them.

Where there had been no one before, there now stood a young man looking no more than thirty, with a slim face and middle-parted curly hair.

He wore a monocle, and his smile was bright and sunny. His raised right hand had a streak of silver light moving across his fingertips.

Then, with a ring, the Silver Baron flipped the silver coin and caught it in the back of his hand.

"—As expected of you."

He said with admiration.

The first to react was Captain Alexander, who had been listening silently and respectfully at the side, never interrupting.

He immediately saluted the Silver Baron, "Hail to the silver coin, Sir Baron."

"—Hail to the silver coin."

Everyone echoed in unison.

"Aiya, you’re too kind."

Despite seeming like a young man, the Silver Baron’s face wore a smile that one might associate with "affectionate."

He cheerfully replied, "I’ve been listening for a while... but seeing young Annan deduce to such an extent, I could not help but want to come out and applaud."

"Lord Silver Baron... Have you been by our side all this time?"

Salvatore asked curiously.

Immediately responding to him was Captain Alexander, "Because this is somewhat of a ’bank.’ And as it is a bank, it is the holy temple of the Silver Baron... Talking here is just as effective as praying under the statue of the Silver Baron."

"Exactly," the Silver Baron responded, smiling.

Even by the standards of a True God, the Silver Baron had quite a good temper. This aligns with the saying, "Harmony brings wealth"—it’s just that He does not like to answer overly simple questions, which is also seen as a subtle form of pride from the Silver Baron.

So, when someone beside Him can answer, the Silver Baron just smiles and waits for others to respond.

"Originally, I did not intend to intervene directly with the succession of the throne. To come outright and tell you about Philip’s deceit would seem unfair to him.

"After all, according to Philip’s plan, he could also rule Noah quite well... or rather, he indeed had a genius, epoch-making idea. It was enough to greatly advance Noah."

"But Annan’s inference was too brilliant. I couldn’t bear to see you deny this possibility after investigating and take the wrong path... so I couldn’t help but come out and spoil it for you!" The Silver Baron laughed heartily as he spoke.

"—If Yawen, that old pigeon, saw me interfering with your affairs like this, he would surely come and scold me. After all, the ’desire to quietly see the end’ aesthetic of a tragedy writer was also his doing. But I don’t have their patience...

"To put it simply, Philip is indeed the holder of a Great Calamity Curio."

The Silver Baron looked at Annan with expectation, "So, can you guess why the Great Calamity Curio, which should be held by the ruler... ended up in Philip’s hands?"

"It’s quite simple."

Without any hesitation, Annan answered directly, "Because Philip is actually the real, former ruler... right?"

"—Precisely."

The Silver Baron nodded happily in agreement.

He straightforwardly provided the final answer, "Philip’s real identity should be considered as young Henry’s grandfather.

"Young Henry was the afterbirth of Henry the Greater, and Henry the Greater’s father... his name was Philip. When young Henry was still in the womb, and although Henry the Greater had no heirs, his father was not yet dead.

"At that time, he was the owner of the Great Calamity Curio, ’The Fourth Chronicle.’ He used this Great Calamity Curio to become ’the fourth son’ of young Henry."

"The Fourth Chronicle..."

Annan muttered.

Winter’s Third Siren. Noah’s Fourth Chronicle.

The Holy Nation’s Great Calamity Curio, the Sixth Book of Going to the Other Shore—one of the two.

...Apart from the Mirror of Smoke, which location was unknown, the real names of the Great Calamity Curios seem to all be related to the numbers one through six.

"Excuse my boldness... but could you give us a hint about its effect?"

"I can only give you a brief hint."

The face of the Silver Baron grew solemn, "The effect of The Fourth Chronicle is... to fabricate ’histories of the future’."
