The Legendary Man novel Chapter 884

The Legendary Man Chapter 884-Jonathan’s suspicious nature was something he himself could not change.

In fact, it was inevitable since he had experienced far too much throughout the years.

It was not that he was cruel, but the bloody reality forced him to doubt the motives of everyone who approached him.

Ksana had also sensed the man’s solemnity by then and slowly stopped eating.

“What’s the second thing, then?”

“Secondly, it’s the direction you were traveling,” Jonathan replied placidly.

Subsequently, he continued, “You said that Sanctuary is based at Mount Enly. But Mount Enly is at the borders of Remdik and Western Epea. Meanwhile, the train we took was westbound. If the truth is as you claimed, and you fled from Mount Enly, you would either head west toward Western Epea or east toward the barren area at Centum Mountain. On the whole, you should be moving away from Mount Enly. Why did you take the same train as me, heading toward Saspiuburg, which is close to Mount Enly? This isn’t an escape route. Instead, you’re offering yourself up on a silver platter.”

At his question, Ksana carefully put away the baked beans she had opened before downing a big gulp of vodka.

After pondering for a moment, she asked, “What would you do if I can’t answer these two questions to your satisfaction, Jonathan?”

“Kill you,” Jonathan answered unhesitatingly, taking out his Heaven Sword and plunging it into the ground beside him.

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from the man, Ksana was not at all angered. Instead, she chortled.

She took a large swig of vodka and burped before stating, “Let’s start with your first question. Before Paurius came out this time, he’d probably been baptized with Holy Blood.”

The instant Jonathan heard her response, a slight frown marred his countenance.

Isn’t Holy Blood drunk? Why is it now used for baptism?

Right then, Ksana did not bother keeping him in suspense but recalled every little detail about Sanctuary.

“As I’ve said, the blue Holy Blood is a diluent of the purified blood extracted from the Remdik Emperor. However, that isn’t the only thing extracted. There’s another substance, and it’s rumored to have the ability to reverse time and restore one’s youth so long as the person can survive the baptism. The God Realm cultivators in Sanctuary are divided into two types—those who have successfully been baptized and those who have never been baptized. I’ve never been baptized and must depend on Holy Blood for survival until my body is completely eroded by the poisonous elements within Holy Blood, and I slowly die. On the other hand, there are others like Paurius. They survived the baptism of Holy Blood, and their bodies will soon generate new vitality. They don’t need Holy Blood to sustain their lives. This applies to the three children you saw previously.”

Her explanation at present boggled Jonathan’s mind.

Even though I’ve accepted the fact that the Remdik Emperor’s corpse still has vitality left, the usage of his blood is downright ridiculous. Not only can it improve one’s cultivation level, but it can also restore one’s youth, huh? In that case, It’s no longer blood but a drug of immortality!

Ksana did not bother about whether the man believed her but proceeded to answer his second question.

“I took the westbound train to avoid those from Sanctuary. Previously, I’d also wanted to flee beyond Remdik’s east borders and go to Centum Mountain. But I only have three months left to live. What’s the point even if I took off to Centum Mountain and survived? I might as well die.”

“Since you had already escaped to Redlington, why didn’t you head south and cross River Onxy to enter into Chanaea? Then, you could’ve gone anywhere,” Jonathan pressed.

Shaking her head, Ksana sighed and lamented, “There’s no way I can survive in Doveston. Why do you think Remdik’s soldiers suddenly gathered in Doveston? Do you really think it’s because of the minerals there?”

“Is that not so?”

That abrupt question from her puzzled Jonathan.

As a relatively qualified strategist, he and those from Asura’s Office had long since analyzed the reason behind Chanaea’s and Remdik’s mobilization of troops lately.

As both countries bordered each other on a vast stretch of land, there had been conflicts and frequent battles since ancient times.

In the past hundred years, however, the situation between Chanaea and Remdik had stabilized due to the rapid rise of Anglandur, which continuously supported the development of Central Epea and impeded that of Remdik.
