    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1271


    Gerald found himself subconsciously taking a step back from the immobile person who was sitting at


    the corner of the cave. After a brief moment, however, Gerald realized that the person didn’t seem like


    he was going to make a move at all.


    Upon closer inspection, Gerald found himself heaving a sigh of relief when he saw that the person’s


    eyes were peacefully closed. Anyone would’ve been shocked to see a living man seated within a


    mountain all by himself!


    Carefully approaching the figure—who had his legs crossed—Gerald saw that it was a white-haired old


    man who had a robe on. His eyes closed and hisplexion ruddy, the old man gave off the


    impression that he was a monk that was concentrating on his mediation.


    Heading closer to check whether the old man was breathing, he quickly realized that that wasn’t the


    case!


    With that knowledge in mind, Gerald then continued getting closer to the old man to further inspect the


    body. However, the second he got within arms-reach of the person, the man’s face instantly turned


    nk and his skin dried up extremely quickly! In the blink of an eye, the body had turned into a


    mummy!


    Quickly moving away from where he was standing, Gerald then stared at what remained of the body for


    a while before turning to look at the Zircobsite that was as tall as a man.


    It was only a guess, but Gerald had a feeling that aside from being able to perform the baptism of


    heaven with it, the Zircobsite stone was capable of preserving a person to make them look youthful


    forever.


    Thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly came to a realization that the previous eternal coffins—


    that he hade across— were also extremely colorful. In fact, the colors that emanated from the


    coffins were exactly the same as the ones the Zircobsite was letting out!


    Could it be that the bottoms of the eternal coffins were made of Zircobsite…?


    As Gerald lowered his head while thinking about it, he suddenly realized that rows of characters had


    been carved on the wall beside the old man! It appeared to be a suicide note of sorts!


    Since he was from the Department of Language and Literature, Gerald could easily recognize and


    understand what those characters meant.


    ‘I am a man of divine destiny. I became a master at the age of sixty and I’ve had the honor of


    participating in the pledge of the holy water. s, the journey there was filled with all sorts of danger,


    and I ended up learning the important secrets behind the pledge. I fled all the way here as soon as I


    could, but in the end, all is still lost due to my old age! Know that as long as you embark for the pledge


    of the holy water, there will be no turning back! If any masters or great masters evere across this


    note, then please remember to stop everything!’


    After reading through what the old man had left behind, Gerald realized that he was actually a great


    master who had participated in one of the past pledges of the holy water. In fact, he appeared to be the


    first person to actually be able to escape alive!


    The old man had also mentioned that he had discovered the great secret behind the pledge of the holy


    water. s, he didn’t actually write it out, and that made Gerald slightly worried.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    The pledge of the holy water truly was mysterious… Any person who embarked on the journey had


    little to no chance of returning home safely. The biggest mystery surrounding the pledge, however, was


    still its connection to the Sun League.


    Even so, Gerald had the Death Curse on him. With that in mind, he was going to find out the secrets


    behind the pledge of the holy water no matter what. Not even death was going to be able to stop him!


    Shaking the thought off, Gerald then continued scanning through the cave that was within the


    mountain. Briefly after, Gerald confirmed that the rest of the cave waspletely sealed up. He was


    the first to create an opening to the cave. But then… How did the old man get into the cave in the first


    ce? Gerald simply couldn’t figure it out.


    Regardless, now wasn’t the time to think about that. After all, Gerald still had to deal with Queena’s


    Squad of Divine Grimness and the Judgement Portals, both of which had strong purpose and


    determination.


    Gerald couldn’t allow the woman in white to fall into their hands, otherwise, Gerald would surely fail


    even though he was already so close to seeding! He needed to focus on the Zircobsite first!


    After bowing slightly to pay his respects to the old man, Gerald then walked over to the Zircobsite


    stone. The closer he got to it, the harder his heart thumped in anticipation.


    When his hand finally touched the stone, a burst of heat suddenly rushed out of the stone! The heat


    itself was transferred into Gerald’s body, and it instantly began circting within him. At the moment,


    Gerald’s pores kept opening and closing as he received the baptism of heaven…


    Fast forward to three dayster, several figures could be seen jumping around in the vicinity of


    Mountain Top. It was Tiara and those eight men!


    “Hah! You’re still alive, old witch? If it wasn’t for you, Gerald would’ve already ended up in our hands by


    now!”


    It had only been a few days ago when they surrounded and subdued Gerald. Unfortunately, the force


    that Gerald’s pendant emitted sent all of them flying in all directions! As if that wasn’t enough, all nine of


    them found that their strength and inner strength had momentarily been sealed off!
