"Alright." Zhaoxing nodded. She looked at Garon with a complicated expression. "Come with me. Julie, take good care of our guests. "
"Alright."
Zhaoxing stood up and walked towards the wall on the side of the stone room. A stone door automatically rose from the wall.
Garon followed closely behind, and the two of them walked in one after another.
The stone door behind them slammed shut, and Garon had already entered a small study room.
There were a few grayish-white stone bookshelves scattered in the corner, a long black coffee table, a few black leather armchairs, and a bright yellow electric lamp on the wall. This was the layout of everything here.
"Sylphalan is going to the East. He knows that you're looking for him. Maybe he wants to avoid you, or maybe he has other motives. He's already preparing a boat. It's not a coincidence that he's avoiding you today. "
The moment she entered, Zhaoxing Qin opened her mouth and said something.
"What's your relationship with the old man and him?" Garon asked again.
"My mother is Sylphalan and Gregor's sister. The three of them used to be the best of siblings, but my mother died in an accident while saving Gregor. " Zhaoxing turned on the table lamp on the coffee table, and the soft kerosene light shone on their faces.
"Sylphalan thought that it was because of Gregor, and that was why the three of them broke up. At that time, Gregor was unusually handsome, and extremely powerful. His position in the telekinesis circle then was the same as the Immortal Palace's position now. Sylphalan couldn't beat him, and could only leave in the end. "Zhaoxing sighed. "Sylphalan seemed to have feelings for my mother that he shouldn't have. So after that incident, he kept on chasing after power, and challenged Gregor again and again. In the end, he killed Gregor. "
Garon heard that there was more to this story, but the main thing should be true.
"Sylphalan once had the chance to kill me, but he let it go. Why? "
"He only had two goals in life. One was to defeat my brother Gregor, and the other was to revive my mother." Zhaoxing said softly. "His feelings for Gregor are very complicated. Gregor taught him everything back then. It was equivalent to being both his elder brother and his teacher. You are Gregor's successor. I don't know why he didn't kill you. Maybe it's because of Gregor. "
Zhaoxing shook her head.
"Actually, Sylphalan had already gone mad many years ago."
"I can see that." Garon nodded. "His current mental state is very abnormal."
"So what's your goal?" Zhaoxing Qin stared at Garon, "Find Sylphalan and avenge Gregor?"
Garon sat down and wiped his face with both hands. He bent down and did not know how to answer.
He was silent for a long time before he spoke again.
"Sylphalan killed Gregor and almost killed me as well. I will find him and kill him. This is the goal I once set. "
"Don't you want to know if Sylphalan and the others have found the Path of Warlocks?"
"You know?" Garon smiled. "I don't know what you call telekinesis. So even if they found it, it would be a telekinesis expert's Path of Warlocks. It has nothing to do with me. "
"To be able to achieve this at such a young age, even if the three of you are not the strongest, you are definitely not ordinary people. I trust my judgment and foresight. Ordinary people would never have such talent. "Zhaoxing Qin said with certainty." So? Do you want to test it? "
Garen hesitated for a moment.
"Sure, how do you want to test it?"
"It's very simple." Zhaoxing Qin walked in front of a bookshelf and moved some books away from it. Then, she pulled open a secret compartment behind the bookshelf and took out a thick and heavy book from it.
The book was wrapped in a black hard cover. There were a few unfamiliar words on the cover.
"This book …" Garon seemed to have seen this book somewhere before.
"This is the Book of Potential from Gregor. It used to be Gregor's telekinesis device, the carrier of his spirit. Now that he is dead, this book was mailed to me not long before he died. "Zhaoxing Qin sighed. "Open it, it can activate the talent in your body. The strength of your telekinesis depends on how many words you can turn red when you open the book."
"Turn red?" Garon took the book and flipped through a few pages. The words on the cover and the pages were still in their original black color. There was no sign of it turning red.
"Maybe I took the wrong one." Zhaoxing Qin kept staring at the pages. She felt that something was wrong when she realized that there was no reaction.
"No, I didn't take the wrong one." Garon shook his head. "Actually, I have flipped through this book in Gregor's shop."
"You flipped through it?" Zhaoxing Qin was slightly stunned. She checked the cover again. It was indeed the Book of Potential. She did not take the wrong one.
Her expression became a little unsightly.
"It's impossible that there is no reaction! You are so young and yet you have such power! It's impossible for your talent to be this bad! You should read more. Maybe you didn't have enough time. "
Garon shrugged. He could not understand this old woman's thoughts. It was not a big deal that he did not have telekinesis. Why was she so agitated?
"Alright, I will read for a while."
There was only the sound of him flipping the pages in the study room.
As time passed by, Zhaoxing Qin's face became more and more unsightly. The hope and anticipation in her eyes slowly faded away.
"It's not that serious, right?" Garon noticed her expression.
"I shouldn't have had any hope …" Zhaoxing Qin suddenly sighed. Her face seemed to have aged a lot. "I thought that there was finally hope for our line … But it turned out to be a dream."
"It's just that you don't have telekinesis talent. It's not that serious, right?" Garon frowned.
"You don't understand. Gregor is the most powerful person in our line. He represents our thousands of years of history. And now, all of it is going to be lost … "Zhaoxing Qin replied softly." He gave you the book pendant. Only you have the right to inherit his spirit — the Book of Potential. But now you don't have telekinesis talent. You can't even open the pendant … "
"I say, don't you think telekinesis is too important?" Garon said calmly.
"Telekinesis is everything to us." Zhaoxing Qin closed her eyes and replied in a low voice.
Garon was silent. He did not know how to comment on her view. Everyone had their own view of the world and life. Obviously, this old woman was looking at everything from the perspective of telekinesis.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this." Zhaoxing Qin opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with fatigue. "We can only rely on you now, Garon. Or rather, we were already in despair. Who would have thought that you would suddenly appear and give us a glimmer of hope. But now, this glimmer of hope has been completely destroyed. "She smiled bitterly.
"Sylphalan doesn't seem to see you as an opponent, does he?" Garon said tactfully. "Right now, he doesn't care if you live or die. I think he only cares about the creatures in front of him."
The actual meaning of this sentence was that Sylphalan did not see Zhaoxing Qin and the others as an opponent at all. From the beginning to the end, he had completely ignored them. It was like walking by the roadside and seeing an ant on the ground. He didn't even bother to step on it.
And that was the truth.
"Although it doesn't sound nice, but it is the truth." Zhaoxing Qin nodded. "But, I want to confirm it again. Garon, are you sure you want to completely end your grudge with Sylphalan? "Her face suddenly became very serious.
"Of course. This is the main reason why I'm here." Garon replied calmly. "I'm different from the King of Nightmares and Andrela. This is my main purpose. "
Sylphalan almost killed him back then. Plus, there was the grudge of killing the old man. This was the key reason why he kept chasing after the Immortal Palace.
After all, ever since he came to this world, there were only a few people he had the closest relationship with. But the ones in front of him were his sister Ying Er, followed by Old Man Gregor and his master, followed by his uncle and parents. After that, it was Su Lin, Andrela and the others. As for the others, after all, they had not known each other for long. Their relationship had not reached that stage yet.
"What's the point of asking this question?"
Zhaoxing Qin shook her head. "I'm just confirming. The Immortal Palace's scheme is too big. If you want to continue chasing after them, you better be mentally prepared to face danger. "
"Do you understand what you're saying?" Garon looked at the old woman carefully. "I don't think I'll face much danger with my strength. Whether it's the Behemoth Gate or the Immortal Palace. Isn't it because of them that the road ahead is so exciting? "
Zhaoxing Qin did not expect Garon to answer like this. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately retorted.
"You're too arrogant. You don't know how strong Sylphalan is. He even …"
"You should have more confidence in us." Garon interrupted her with a smile.
"If you're still so arrogant, the next time you meet the Immortal Palace, you'll pay a heavy price!" Zhaoxing Qin was a little angry.
"I'm not arrogant. I'm just confident in myself." Garon shook his head and said calmly.
"You're being arrogant! You don't even know how strong Sylphalan is. How dare you treat him with such an attitude! "
"I said I'm not being arrogant." Garon frowned slightly. "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you about this meaningless issue."
"After all, you don't have the ability to fight against Sylphalan. Today he wasn't serious. Once he unleashes his full power … "Zhaoxing Qin couldn't help but shiver, as if she was recalling a terrifying scene.
Garon looked at the old woman in front of him who was scared out of her wits. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to provoke her. After all, she was Old Man Gregor's relative, his elder.
"The next step, maybe he's avoiding you, or maybe he already planned it. Sylphalan's target will definitely be that thing in that place! If you think you're strong enough, then go find him! "She sighed.
"What thing?"
