The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1157

“What is that…?” asked Chester rather curiously as he watched Gerald carefully take a square, wooden box out from his pocket.

Wagner had given the box to Gerald after an old beggar gave it to his ancestors about eight hundred years ago. From what Wagner had told Gerald, not only had the old beggar anticipated that Gerald would head to the king of the ocean’s palace centuries later, but he had also accurately predicted Gerald’s meeting with Wagner, hence why he had told Wagner’s descendants to hold on to the box till Gerald finally showed up!

Could it be that the old beggar truly had foreseen what would happen in ten thousand years? Had the old man actually managed to predict that Gerald would find the eternal coffin and transport the woman in white away for her to finally be reunited with the deity?

Could… could that old beggar from ten thousand years ago actually be the same person from eight centuries ago…?

Gerald shuddered at the thought and didn’t dare to dwell too much on it. Just thinking about it was enough to make him filled with fear and anxiety.

Regardless, Gerald was able to discern one thing from all of this. In the message the old beggar had left for Gerald, he had said that Gerald would gain the answer he sought for as long as reunited the woman in white with his other-self. Did that mean that once he did that, the incident regarding the Sun League would also be revealed soon as well?

“…What else did he say? Please do your best and try to understand as much as you can, Chester!” said Gerald after his brief silence of deep thought.

“…Well, it says here that something bad will happen to the world before long, and many will die because of that event… Nobody will be able to prevent the calamity from happening, and the prophecies will come true one by one! It’s simply our destiny! Beyond that part though, I… I can’t really understand anything else…” replied Chester with a sigh.

Prophecies? And a bad incident where many would die? What event could that even be referring to…?

And no matter how he looked at the words, why did he have a feeling that the words on the stone tablet were referring to him?

With so many questions in his mind, Gerald forced himself to record down all the words on the stone tablet. After all, even though he wasn’t able to read the words now, that didn’t mean that that would remain the same in the future.

Following that, he then brought Chester toward the other murals.

After looking through them for a while, they found that the last mural seemed to state that as long as someone was able to get the key to open the life gate, they would be able to find their way out.

Even the ‘key’ was shown on the mural. True to what was inside the box, the ‘key’ on the mural was drawn in the shape of a goldfish’s tail.

Gerald made sure to record down all this as well before finally walking over to the eternal coffin—with Chester following right behind him—that still lay in the center of the structure.

While Gerald had heard Lyra describing the woman in white—from her dreams—as a person with the temperament of a fairy, Gerald had never seen her for himself.

Now that he was finally here, he wished to take a proper look at her. After all, he kept hearing that she was a beauty that had come from heaven. Was she really that beautiful?

With a little effort, both of them managed to push the coffin’s lid open halfway. Immediately after that, a chill seemed to seep out of the coffin.

Seconds later, the iciness dissipated and the woman in the coffin could now be seen.
