Chapter 414 – Cursed Core

Although Lin Xiao may have just fought a couple of times on the surface, he still had some findings, the specifics still need to be told…

First, he was sure that this plague was a plot by the enlightenment society to turn the people into the living dead.

Additionally, Darkness, that guy who never revealed himself until the end only heard his mention the apostle, who was the one behind everything, and he was but a chess piece.

As for why they spread the plague and their next steps, Lin Xiao still didn’t know, he could only keep looking for clues to find the so-called apostle.

“Stupid brother, since you knew that apostle or whatever is the key and that Darkness was just a pawn, why didn’t you leave him alive”

In the room, a cute little girl was being hugged by her maid while she played with her own blue hair and asked.

On the other side, a black-haired youth stood obediently in front of her and responded to her questions.

“Sigh, did you think I didn’t want to But that guy wanted to die and went headfirst into my mystic bullets, I didn’t have time to pull back.”

“Tsk, tsk, excuses, excuses… it’s because you were too dumb and didn’t consider the possibility of him committing suicide! And you call yourself intelligent, it seems like you’re nothing much!”

“Hey! I’m smart, not omniscient, I’m not a screenwriter, how can I see through what NPCs are thinking”

“Hmph, stop wasting time and continue! The only thing you’re useful for is as a human news machine!”

“O-oh…”

Lin Xiao helplessly turned to look and Elena and noticed that she secretly nodded her head at him like she was encouraging him, which instantly made him feel a lot better.

Elena wasn’t just watching for jokes which made Lin Xiao happy, it seems the demon king was a good maid that kept her promises.

Elena said before that this time she wouldn’t cause any more trouble for him and she was able to do just that, and also became a dependable assistant that helped him a lot.

Ah, how nice would it be if Elena could always silently stand behind him and support him like that

“Stupid brother, what are you thinking about Hurry up! If you don’t, I’m not going to care for Caesar!”

“Uh…”

Being interrupted, Lin Xiao helplessly looked at this aggressive loli in front of him.

What was going on

He just wanted to take a refreshing nap, to make up for staying up all night, but who would have thought that he would be immediately woken up right after.

Snow brought a bunch of people from Holy Light Church in the morning and surrounded their temporary houses and said they had to strictly control the plague and check if anyone was infected or not.

She didn’t allow anyone to leave, but in actuality, how could Lin Xiao not know her true intentions

Just as he defeated Darkness and saved Caesar, Snow immediately appeared to lock everything down… there was no way Lin Xiao could believe it was a simple coincidence!

“Sis, you haven’t been following me, right” Lin Xiao frowned and asked.

“Tsk, w-who would follow you” Snow pouted but even if she couldn’t see, she could sense his intense stare and felt a little guilty as she lowered her head and mumbled, “As your sister, I’m worried about my brother, so I secretly watched you and came to help you right away, i-is there anything wrong with that”

“There’s nothing wrong with that… but Snow, when did you become a sister that cared about her brother Where did that aggressive Saintess go” Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.

“N-none of your business!” Snow awkwardly muttered then sat up straight in Elona’s lap and pointed at Lin Xiao, “Since you already guessed it, then let me just say it outright! … That’s right, I was following you the whole time, so what”

“Following me is one thing, but now you want to take the credit as well”

“That’s right! I want to steal your credit! Don’t forget about our bet! I’m willing to beat you by any means necessary!”

That’s right, the reason she blocked everyone here and used saving Caesar as a bargaining chip was to steal the credit!

She’s been stuck near the city handling miscellaneous tasks and didn’t have time to investigate, but Lin Xiao was different and he quickly left her behind, so Snow could only do this to catch up!

Although Caesar had some medicine, he still wasn’t waking up, so Snow grabbed onto that and exaggerated Caesar’s injuries.

She used that fact to take advantage of Lin Xiao and exchange it for his information.

“Something’s not right, it feels like you’re lying to me… Caesar is actually fine and he just needs to sleep a couple of days to wake up, right!”

“Hmph, I can’t guarantee that, do you want to bet on it” Snow raised her brows.

“Tsk… forget it, if anything happened to Caesar, Rosie will chew my ears off.

Let’s just get back on topic.”

It can’t be helped since Snow was the only one here who knew black magic, as the only specialist, Lin Xiao had to believe her.

Well, even if Snow didn’t threaten him, he still would have shared his information with her.

Even though she was bent on competing with him, he still felt it was more important to deal with this as soon as possible over some bull** bet.

If he purposely hid information and then in turn caused Snow to be hurt, he would definitely blame himself for the rest of his life.

So he chose to reveal everything.

“What Caesar actually had an antidote And it was from the black market” Snow felt a headache coming on.

It was possible to be able to buy an antidote coincidentally, but the chances were slim to none.

All spells could be broken, and black magic was no exception.

Snow suspected that it was someone from the enlightenment society who accidentally leaked their antidote, maybe it was stolen and then changed hands several times before it ended up in the black market and was bought up by princess Pelle and gifted to Caesar.

The chances of that happening were even less than winning the lottery.

“Unfortunately he drank all of it! Brother, you idiot! If you saved some I could have replicated it!”

If she was able to get her hands on it, then she could probably successfully replicate it within half a month and then all the plague and black magic will be taken care of and half of Gotham Kingdom’s problems would be solved!

As for the rebellion in the south, that had nothing to do with her.

“Ugh, my fault again How would I have known it was real Also, there was only a tiny bit and Rosie fed it to him mouth to mouth, how could there be any left”

“Hmph, you guys are really useless, thinking about love and whatnot even in these situations!”

Snow scolded them while extending her hand toward Lin Xiao like she was asking for something.

“What”

“Give it to me.”

“Give what”

“What else… of course, it’s the black core.”

According to Lin Xiao, it seems they transmitted the plague through the black core.

It was like that little black object was alive as it dispersed the mist when it was activated.

Caesar also became like that because of breathing in the mist, the others were probably also like him.

“So give that black core to me and let me bring it back to create an antidote… don’t tell me you don’t have it.

I know that Rosie must have given it to you for safekeeping!”

“Uh… you brat, how did you know that when you can’t see”

Just as he wanted to make an excuse, Snow already stopped him, so he could only take it out and hold it in his palms.

“But… sorry Snow, I can’t give this to you.”

“Why”

“This is something Caesar used his life to get… when we get back, I’ll hand it over to the alliance office and exchange it for his honor.”

“What honor, creating an antidote is most important, right”

“Claire said that she’ll recruit pharmacists and knowledgeable magic professors to research an antidote.”

“Hmph, what specialists can that tomboy find They’re all useless, brother, only I can create an antidote in such a short time, so you have to give it to me!”

Snow was getting impatient and couldn’t understand why Lin Xiao didn’t want to give it to her.

“Are you getting back at me for threatening you Or are you worried that I’ll win the bet Brother, I never took you for such a petty man!”

“Uh… you can say whatever you like.”

Lin Xiao bitterly smiled and didn’t argue with her.

He already said that he didn’t care who won the bet, he was more worried about Snow’s safety.

This black core was their only clue, so its significance was unimaginable.

If they could analyze it, then they could get to the bottom of the black magic and create an antidote, so all of their plans in Gotham Kingdom would be destroyed.

Looking at it from another angle, since the black core’s existence was so fatal to the enlightened, how could they just leave it be

Once they find out about it, they will surely do everything they can to get it back… they even turned a small half of Gotham Kingdom’s people into the living dead, so there’s nothing they won’t do.

So the black core was a beacon of hope, but also a curse that invited calamity.

Whoever held it would become the entire cult’s enemy!
