“Did someone locate the tomb of the King of Medicine?” Nash furrowed his brows. The tomb was no ordinary place. The undead corpse and deathworms inside it must not be released.
If it was an archaeological team, it was highly likely they would lose their lives. If it was another tomb-raiding group and they failed to handle the undead corpse and deathworms properly, the people nearby would also be affected.
“Aside from me, there are two other people a part of the Seekers Hall who are still alive- Yoseph Stone and Anders Law. Both of them are skilled in the art of leyline identification as described in the Seekers Hall’s scripture.
“Yoseph left the Seekers Hall with the former leader’s permission to join the national archaeological team, while Anders left without permission and has been missing ever since. “If Yoseph found the tomb, he would definitely have notified me in advance. So, I suspect it’s Anders who found it and attempted to raid it. He’s an unscrupulous man. If he gains control of the grave spirit inside the tomb chamber, it could spell disaster for the region!”
Bradley gripped his tobacco pipe tightly, his expression worried.
Xeno rubbed his hands and said, “Then, we need to prevent it from happening. We should head to the tomb immediately!”
Bradley smiled bitterly when he heard what Xeno said. “My son learned how to identify leylines. My nephew was also a tomb raider officer, while Ophelia’s husband was a descendant of the queen of grave robbers.”
“All three of them possessed unique skills, yet they all met their demise. What else could be said of you?”
Xeno glanced at the three corpses on the woven mat and then looked at Nash. Whether or not they head off for the tomb was Nash’s decision. Nico and Derek looked eager but were also filled with apprehension.
Margaret shot Derek a fierce glare and said, “If you dare to go tomb-raiding, I’ll break your legs.”
“Mom, you’re giving me too much credit!”
“It’s somewhere even Mr. Perry hesitates to go and you think I have the balls to do it?” Derek quickly responded.
“Old Perry, why don’t you report the tomb to Yoseph and have the national archaeological team excavate it?” Nash asked./
Bradley nodded. “Alright. I’ll call Old Yoseph tonight.”
In the afternoon, Dacus bought three coffins and brought them back. The community then began to set up the memorial hall while Nash and Xeno headed back to their residence.
Then, evening came. Nash planned to pick up Hera from Baroque, but just as he was preparing to leave, Hera called. She sounded anxious as she said, “Nash, my grandfather is in critical condition. My parents and I are going to Jonford. We didn’t have time to inform you given how short notice it was.”
“You should’ve taken me with you. I am a miracle doctor!” Nash said with a wry smile.
Lauren was in her 40s, and her father was, at most, in his 60s. His condition clearly was not a natural one. If Nash went, he could definitely cure the old man’s illness.
“I’ve never visited the Mare family myself. I still don’t know how the family situation is. We’ll notify you whether or not you need to come once we assess the situation,” Hera informed.
She had thought about bringing him along, but she was also afraid that her grandfather would offend him by treating her family unfavorably.
“Well, let me know what your grandfather’s medical condition is when you get there!”
“Got it. We’re boarding now. Talk to you later!” Hera said before quickly ending the call.
Nash got out of the car and headed toward the villa. He then made a phone call to Bryan.
“Grandmaster.”
“Are you busy these past few days?”
“Not too busy. What’s going on?”
