Chapter 424 - Eternal Shrine
Even if Sendros did not tell him, Lin Li also knew Hutton wanted to kill him. Things were obvious. Vanskore led a group of 300 and went undercover at the border of the Scar of Death. Even if the guards of the Malfa Family were blind and deaf, they would have known that something was wrong. Why didn’t they take any action?
All in all, it was just that Sir Hutton who did not want to take any responsibility for killing him. His plan of making use of somebody to do the deed was great, but that person being Vanskore… was just a bad idea…
Come to think of it, Sir Hutton was a really calm man. Despite the fact that the advance party returned to the camp quite some time ago already, Hutton never followed up with the team at all. It was as though Hutton had not dispatched any advance party in the first place.
When Adelo came over in the afternoon to speak for the Malfa Family, he tried to convince Lin Li that Vanskore had planned the attack all by himself. Of course, Adelo also promised that the Malfa Family would investigate into the situation as soon as possible.
Lin Li literally turned a deaf ear while Adelo was telling him all those things. He entertained him smilingly and sent him away smilingly. He did not care to wait for any evidence of the mastermind. Did one even need an evidence for something as serious as a murder or an arson?
Of course, Lin Li did not seek trouble with Hutton after sending Adelo off…
Lin Li stayed in Sendros’ tent for the entire afternoon. They chatted about magic, pharmacy, and many other things—everything but the sneak attack that had happened that afternoon. To both the old and the young man, that was a trouble that could be solved easily. It would be a waste of time to talk about that.
“Why?” asked Lin Li. He did not expect that.
“That’s because there is a secret within the Helios’ Scepter. It is a secret only known to the High Priests. Don’t you wonder why the High Priest of the Darkness Shrine would know the secret of the Brilliance Shrine?”
“Yeah, indeed…”
“The reason is very simple. That’s because there was no Darkness Shrine or Brilliance Shrine 1300 years ago. There was only the Eternal Shrine!”
