Chapter 602: Scam

After noon and night alternated again, Xifa woke up from his sleep. He still clearly remembered that this time in the common dream, he did not appear in the dark passage, and he did not meet that ascetic monk named Leo Master again.

Instead, like the first time, he appeared next to the 'Admiral of the Stars'. He didn't explore around, but only admired the magnificent capital on the opposite side until noon came, until he naturally woke up.

After waking up, Xifa thought of the previous question, so he approached the "Admiral of the Stars": "Ma'am, I want to discuss something with you."

Cattleya pushed her heavy glasses and responded calmly: "Please speak."

Xifa glanced in the direction of the spring: "The Fountain of Youth may not be real. I'm afraid it's a trap here. Agari plans to set a trap for us, for those who try to drink the Fountain of Youth and gain longevity."

Cattleya's eyes were deep purple: "You mean the mausoleum we discovered. In fact, Agaritu knew long ago that he deliberately revealed the location of the Fountain of Youth in order to let people like you and me come here. Then he was killed by the power in the mausoleum, and finally he came to harvest the relics of the dead and get the spoils?"

The organization is very clear, saving me a lot of trouble. Xifa nodded: "That's right, if Agaritu once drank from the Fountain of Youth, then he must have been here and must know about the mausoleum."

"And it was near Sonia Island. When we encountered him, didn't you think he was too easy?"

"As one of the four kings of the sea, he took the golden leaf and left without doubting whether we had another leaf in our hands."

"This makes me think that he did it on purpose. He deliberately gave us the illusion that we still have the opportunity to obtain the fountain of youth. In this case, we will venture into the sea of ​​ruins and find this ruin."

"In his script, we must have killed the things in the mausoleum now, so when he comes here, he only needs to move his hands to obtain the items and Extraordinary characteristics on us."

Cattleya narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "If this is the case, then the things in the underwater ruins are not simple. That mausoleum is full of the power of death, maybe there is an out-of-control 'undead' in the underwater ruins, even a higher existence.”

"Yes, I have a similar guess."

Xifa pointed in the direction of the spring: "In addition, there are a lot of living corpses here, and some of them are adventurers. I think they were also deceived by Agaritu to arrive here. They may even drink the fountain of youth."

"Admiral of the Stars" tilted his head slightly: "You mean, the Fountain of Youth is very incapable of making people live forever, and after drinking it, it will transform into a living corpse?"

Xifa nodded vigorously: "If this spring is connected to the underwater ruins under the ground, it is very possible."

"For example, the powerful existence in the underwater ruins leaked his power and affected the spring water. In this way, it can explain why there were so many living corpses here when I first came down, and not only adventurers Living corpses, and the living corpses of mermaids and other monsters."

"They all drank the spring water here!"

Cattleya looked at Xifa calmly, making him feel like a fool, Xifa couldn't help but said: "You think my idea is ridiculous?"

No, "Admiral of the Stars" shook his head and said: "No, I can't verify your idea. After all, I can't ask the crew to drink a sip of spring water, but I think your idea is probably right."

This surprised Xifa. He originally thought that Cattleya, who was well-informed and chased by knowledge, should have a deeper understanding and would feel that her thoughts were superficial, but he didn't expect her to agree.

Cattleya finally looked in other directions, her eyes gradually lost focus, as if she was caught in a memory: "Someone once came to a conclusion similar to yours."

"She also thinks Agaritu's 'Fountain of Youth' legend is a hoax."

"Do you know the 'Immortal Witch'?"

The 'Eternal Witch' is the Sequence 3 of the 'Witch Path'. With the current knowledge authority of the 'Book of Mysteries', Xifa was able to see all the names of the Sequence 3, so he nodded: "I know."

Cattleya didn't seem to care why Xifa knew so much, she continued: "That person thinks that if there is a 'Fountain of Youth', it will only be one of the main ingredients of the 'Witch of Agelessness', or something born from them thing."

"Therefore, all men who claim to have drunk the 'Fountain of Youth' are lying."

I haven't thought about the analysis from this angle.

That person should be the 'Queen of Mysteries' Bernadette, she is Cattleya's teacher, the daughter of Emperor Roselle, she is absolutely rich in knowledge. If even she thinks so, plus what she sees before her eyes, then ninety-nine percent of the legend of the 'Fountain of Youth' is false and a hoax!

Xifa looked at the "Admiral of the Stars" again: "You already know, so why did you still contact Church and intervene in the 'Fountain of Youth'?"

Cattleya said calmly: "I want to verify her idea. But now it seems that she is right."

but?

So what you want to verify is that the legend of the 'Fountain of Youth' is true?

You want to overthrow the conjecture of the 'Queen of Mysteries', so it feels like a daughter is angry with her mother.

Xifa wiped his face and said, "Since that's the case, then we don't have to stay here any longer, unless you want to hunt Agaritu."

Cattleya stood up and said, "I don't have this idea, and I'm not sure about hunting the 'Undead King', at least not yet."

"You are right. We don't need to stay any longer. There is no need to confront Agaritu head-on. Let's go. It's time to leave this dangerous ocean."

Xifa did not object, his task was to investigate the 'Fountain of Youth', and now he has completed this task. By the way, the information about the sea of ​​ruins should allow him to gain enough merit, so there is no need to take the risk of confronting Agaritu.

They immediately packed up their things, returned to the ground from the gap, and released fireworks to signal. Soon, Xifa stepped on the deck of the "Future" again.

Cattleya looked back at the ruins, and then gave an order to the sailors on the ship to leave.

In the pirate restaurant.

Xifa told the pirate Church about the findings in the ruins and his and Cattleya's analysis.

After hearing this, the gray-haired pirate looked disappointed, and finally laughed at himself: "I'm such a failure, my life has always been a failure."

"I was originally an adventurer. With years of accumulation and adventures at sea, I became a 'briber' and accumulated enough wealth."

"I decided to retire and fulfill my promise to marry a girl in my hometown who I have loved for many years."

"But after I went back, I found out that she was dead. She was favored by a nobleman who wanted her to be one of his many lovers. But she refused, so she was brutally killed."

"After I found out, I took revenge on that nobleman, but the result of doing so was to make me a wanted criminal, and I had no choice but to return to the sea."

"And because of the criminals, I can no longer be an adventurer, and no one hires me as a bodyguard. In the end, I actually became the pirate I despised."
