Chapter 435 433:Another Absurd Oracle

A storm that rose out of nowhere that swept through the entire Arkham.

It was due to certain rumours that spread like wildfire at an astonishing rate.

Many people believed it to be a rumour at first and were sceptical about it. But it was this scepticism which piqued their interest and forced them to try out the thing that made quite a fame in a short amount of time.

Golden Water.

A product introduced by Lockheart Merchant groups that claimed to help in making the land fertile and increase productivity.

And the surprising aspect was that Lockheart had dispatched all its personnel to carry out the trade.

Carts laden with golden water were transported to villages and farmlands that were previously affected by miasma.

Some even found that the Golden water was able to dispel miasma and cure the people who were affected by miasma and showed initial symptoms of fatigue and loss of vitality.

As the product gained popularity, many sought the Lockheart group to strike a deal of some sort while many knocked on their door to know what it was.

It was a matter of national importance and many wanted to know the secret but all they got in reply was that it was made with various types of chemicals invented by someone.

People wanted to meet the person who came with many striking offers but it was refused by Lockheart.

Some tried to use the moles planted in the organisation to get some information but they got nothing.

There were also various criticisms that Lockheart had developed this thing quite early but instead of helping others during the time of crisis before, was trying to loot people by introducing it later.

Those people who had been grasping onto a thin thread of hope wishing for a miracle to happen that would get them out of the crisis finally shed tears of joy as the desert turned barren lands after some time, finally showed signs of vegetation.

Of course, many felt weird and worried about the change as it was quite unpleasant for them. The hawks who were waiting for the chance to overturn the Royals found themselves in the deep pit so they tried to aim for the person.

Nobles complained about the person's identity and tried to look into it.

Assassins were sent to know about the person.

But unfortunately, no one had made it out alive till now.

So, everything was still a secret.

In a certain place, a silhouette of a man appeared as he looked over the vast plains before him.

He had an inexplicable expression as he saw the scene before him. His eyes were a bit moist and he gained a newfound strength seeing crops growing on this land.

The demons were cruel enough to target and destroy the backbone of their Empire.

Destroying farmland had forced them to put up a resistance with an empty stomach which had gradually weakened their state.

"Sigh! I can't believe this is over."

"It feels as if we have finally woken up from the hellish nightmare. What I am feeling right now isn't something that can be described with mere words."

"Sir, what are we going to do next?"

"We have already gotten rid of the people who have taken those weird drugs," Wilford said.

The masked happy expression changed as he heard about the unpleasant thing again.

They were able to take care of three people but sadly they were late for one case and when they reached the estate, half of the city had been destroyed.

"Although we have taken care of four, the first case of Lunar City is still making me uneasy. We weren't able to find anything. During the third, we encountered the dark elves but they retreated before we could engage with them." The Masked Man spoke.

"Sir, should we inform this matter to His Majesty?"

The Masked Man squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment.

He closed his eyes and felt the gentle winds caressing him.

As he drowned in deep thoughts while relaxing his body, a certain memory appeared in his mind.

Six days ago, a person from the Church visited them and told them that the Oracle had received a new revelation.

[The Key to unlocking the lock of Tragedy lies in the heart of Arkham.]

If the first revelation they received was vague then this one was quite absurd which gives everyone a deep headache.

It wasn't just absurd, rather it was quite misleading.

The Second Prince tried to analyse and decode the first revelation in his way and waged a war against Kinley which led to a horrendous result.

Not only it turned out to be a complex failure, but a huge number of soldiers also lost their lives and they lost a major chunk of their land on top of that.

But he felt as if he somehow got a hint as Lockheart introduced the Golden water.

'Key to unlock resided in Arkham heart.'

Opening his eyes he murmured the words repeatedly while staring up at the blue sky.

"Wilford has Lockheart disclosed anything till now about the Golden Water? I am sure many might have already questioned about this so what was their response."He asked.

"Lockheart had kept their mouth shut and they said that they had signed a treaty with the person so as not to disclose the person's identity."

"I am surprised about one thing. Those greedy merchants are selling this for a very low price to the point that even a common man could afford it. Though they require a large quantity to mix with enough water to sprinkle their farmland."

"You make a point Wilford. It's certainly weird for Lockheart to do service for people and since they belong to Kinley which we waged war against I thought they would lessen the trade of weapons and artifacts for revenge." The Masked Man spoke with a smile.

"Wilford, it seems we need to visit them and show them our gratitude for selling such a marvellous thing."
