Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The waves along the coastline continued to pound the beach beneath the city of Danello. A large number of merchant ships used this as a port for trade.
On the docks, a huge amount of goods was gathered. This scene was very rare in other countries, but a large number of people came here to barter and trade, as this was a major hub of commerce and industry.
Decades ago, Lu Zhiyu and Verthandi had ended their tour around Alan and immediately went to the Orcish kingdom. From then onward, Verthandi had started down her legendary path to becoming the emperor of the Holy Seville Empire.
Cory, the first Patriarch of the Faith of the Sun, currently served as the bishop of the Grand Church of Danello, bringing the Faith of the Sun to its peak and forming a stand-off with the Church of Light. The people in Danello were much prouder than those who lived in the imperial Saga City, which had only been established for a few decades. Danello, on the other hand, had survived for hundreds of years!
The whole Itan Province, including Danello, was now governed by Prince Delmedi Iranberry of the Holy Seville Empire. Delmedi had taken over as governor, staying far away from the imperial city of Saga, as she was reluctant to return there.
...
Next to the Grand Church of Danello, Inside the Governor’s House.
Amid a snowstorm, under a cloud of darkness, a strange guest had arrived...
“You are in pain. You feel betrayed by your father. You have finally discovered that your father, the great Lion King Will, is not omnipotent!” Adenos said to Delmedi softly.
( B oxnovel.c om ) “Shut up! You are not allowed to mention my father’s name!” Delmedi screamed.
While he was sitting in the study of the Governor’s House, Adenos finally took off his hood, but his whole body was still covered with bandages. Hence, only the flames jumping in his eyes revealed his identity.
Adenos thought that the noble knight in front of him was very interesting so he continued in a coaxing voice. “You feel sad and angry, but you can tell no one. You yearn for love from your father, but you don’t get the desired response. As long as you revive your mother, everything can go back to normal. You see, only I can help you...”
“Shut up!” Delmedi stood up and pointed her sword at Adenos. “Maybe it’s my tolerance that makes you think that you can get something from me, but I will never make a deal with you!”
Adenos stood up and pulled up his hood. “Maybe Your Highness just needs some time to think about it. I’ll stay in Danello for a while.”
Adenos headed towards the door and laughed. He then said, “I look forward to your next invitation, Your Highness!”
Delmedi watched Adenos leave, with several knights following him. Delmedi would never believe that such a monster would be so generous.
As Adenos stepped out of the door, Delmedi angrily cut the table in half with a sword. Delmedi knew that this demon was up to no good, but she was struggling herself. She hesitated, but knew that she would make had to make a choice.
Within a few days, there were some rumors flying around the city, with many saying that a doctor from the South could revive the dead...
“Could it be that the legendary doctor is the saint Bohr Kelermo?”
“Is that the legendary Bohr Kelermo, who wrote the Kelermo Medical Coding?”
“Except for him, how could such a technique exist?”
“Is Bohr even alive?”
“Is it true that all of the dead can be saved?”
People were all discussing this mysterious doctor, which quickly made the Bohr Kelermo’s name known to a large number of people in the city. Hence, everyone was looking for the legendary doctor!
Hearing of this commotion, Bohr disappeared completely. He hid himself well, so that even wealthy nobles who held a vast amount of treasures could not find him!
( B oxnovel.c om ) Within the hall of the Governor’s House, Delmedi looked at the nine people in front of her, all of whom had been saved by this so-called “Bohr Kelermo.” Delmedi had asked these people to come here so that she could meet them personally.
Everyone clearly remembered what happened before they died, and even their tempers, personalities and behaviors were just the same as before. This convinced Delmedi that these people were really telling the truth.
They had all really died a few days ago! Moreover, one of them was even a servant in the Governor’s House!
Delmedi was understandably shocked by this revelation. Her hands were trembling. She had finally been convinced at this moment, so she made up her mind.
Mother, I can see you again!
We can live with father as before, just the three of us...
Delmedi leaned back on her chair, lost amid happy thoughts and tears. Upon seeing her in such a state, everyone around her retreated, leaving only her guards beside her. After a long time, she calmed down.
“Tell that guy to come and see me,” she said to a nearby guard.

As Adenos stepped into the study, he saw that the table in the study was changed. He then raised his eyes to meet Delmedi’s.
“What do you want?” Delmedi stared at Adenos coldly.
Although she believed that Adenos had the ability to bring the dead back to life, Delmedi would never believe in Adenos’ generosity.
Adenos clapped in delight and said, “You are very straightforward. Your Highness, that’s very good. Then, I’ll cut to the chase. There are two artifacts. One is the Sword of the King, which represents the kingship of the world, and the other is named Faross, after the god. During the war in the Sumerian Plain, Lion King Will killed Saintess Kelly, the goddess of the Church of Light, and the gods took back these two artifacts in anger, so that they would never appear on the earth again!”
Delmedi looked at Adenos coldly. “So, what are you getting at?”
Adenos raised his head and looked at Delmedi. “Well, I know that there’s one more treasure! It is said that your power comes from a dragon crystal in your body...So....I want it! After all, the power of God’s gift is much more interesting than anything from those priests and Holy Knights!”
Delmedi stood up and said angrily, “No way!”
Adenos burst out laughing, “Is it not as important as Your Highness’ mother’s life? Or are you, like me, one who can give up everything in the pursuit of power?”
