Since Lea opened his mouth to ask her on his own, Gu Mengmeng obviously was not standing on ceremony anymore. She touched her chin and asked with a doubtful expression,
Since you can deduce the five venues from the records, why did the people in Sauder still keep it a secret from the entire world how to find the messenger of the Beast Deity? Why didn’t they just stay and wait at those venues?

Lea chuckled, then tapped Gu Mengmeng’s head and said,
Do you think that anyone can understand what’s in those ancient books?

Gu Mengmeng blinked her eyes, asking,
Huh? In Sauder, other than you, the rest are illiterate and can’t read at all?

Lea shook his head and said,
We don’t have to learn to read the words in those ancient books because since we were born, our respective Fathers will teach us everything, one sentence by one sentence. Everyone in Sauder’s royal family has memorized the content in the ancient books thoroughly. However, knowing it doesn’t equal to understanding it, and understanding it doesn’t equal to utilizing it.

Gu Mengmeng still could not understand but she did not know where to start asking from.


Lea tidied his own emotions slightly and then used a method that Gu Mengmeng could better understand him to explain,
When the last leader of Sauder was still on the throne, my father was the tribe’s witch doctor. He knew everything about prayers, healing and all the deduction methods written in the ancient books. And he, only taught me because if nothing happens, I’ll carry on his legacy as the next witch doctor. I would have gone with the message the last messenger of the Beast Deity left and welcome the new messenger to Sauder to allow the history distorted by the tribe leader a thousand years ago to turn true. But accidents… always catch us off guard. I, the only one who can deduce the content, was banished out of Sauder and nobody in the entire tribe knows how the new messenger of the Beast Deity would arrive. The only way was for them to search all over the place, just like searching for a specified tree leaf in the vast and immense forest- it just proves to be futile, eventually.

Gu Mengmeng nodded her head, not fully understanding Lea but at least she accepted his explanation. Although Lea obviously described many details in ambiguity, everyone had secrets they did not wish to tell others. Some past were like undergarments, even if it was worn on our bodies, we would still be unwilling to show it to others.
Out of respect, Gu Mengmeng did not insist on knowing more details and just waited for Lea to continue talking.
Lea was very grateful for Gu Mengmeng’s consideration as this allowed him to have a tiny space to breathe. Lea breathed in deeply and then continued,
The arrival of the messenger is not a small matter and it can’t be hidden for an entire lifetime. So, before you came, Elvis and I had a plan to… improve our teamwork and upgrade our skills, working together to become the best partners. When the messenger of the Beast Deity arrives, we’ll devote our loyalty to her and Elvis will become her First Partner while I’ll stay as a family member in the messenger’s family to assist Elvis by protecting her and… keeping her in Saint Nazaire.

Gu Mengmeng was taken aback and she lowered her head slowly. She straightened her body and distanced herself from Elvis’s chest.
Despite the fire still going strong in the cave, Gu Mengmeng could feel a freezing sense of chill. She did not look into anyone’s eyes and just said plainly,
So, from the start, both of you… had a motive when you two got closer to me, right?

Elvis was shocked and he finally realized what trouble his ‘this kind of life’ which he blurted out had caused. He wanted to salvage the situation, but he realized that he did not even have any confidence to say a simple word of ‘no’.
When he entered the deep part of the cave to the lake initially… wasn’t he aiming for the identity of the ‘messenger of the Beast Deity’ from the start?
