: The Truth is Revealed

Chapter 49: The Truth is Revealed

(Bonus chapter for everyone's recommendation votes)

The "Gateway to God's Kingdom" is more magnificent and imposing than imagined or described in books.

Elliott was completely stunned.

The two bronze doors opened a crack, and a tremendous suction force swallowed the necklace on the altar.

Then the bronze gate closed, the vortex disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

After a long pause, Elliott quickly bowed his head and said, "Praise be to the 'Creator'!"

At this point, he believed he had gained a new understanding of the "Creator," and that there was real hope of breaking the family's curse!

Then he repented in his heart, realizing that he had actually doubted the "Creator's" abilities before.

Unfortunately, we still can't report the existence of the "Creator" to the elders of the family. Perhaps there is something in the family's sealed artifacts that can please the "Creator".

……

In the "Land of Chaos," on the Iron Throne, Hobert fiddled with the necklace in his hand.

This necklace is silver-white, with the main body being an inverted triangle. In the center of the triangle is a crystal that looks like a sapphire, and there seems to be a force constantly swirling within the crystal.

Using his status as a "disordered nation," he had already clearly understood the necklace's power and negative effects:

The first ability is that she can use this necklace to communicate with spirits, even with living beings.

The second ability is highly sensitive spiritual vision. As long as the necklace is worn, one can see all undead creatures, easily find their weaknesses, and effectively communicate with nature spirits.

The negative effect is that wearing it for a long time will gradually turn the wearer into a living corpse without emotions, thoughts, or vital signs. Therefore, it should be removed and rested for 3 hours after every 12 hours of wearing.

Hobert placed the necklace on the armrest of the Iron Throne. The negative effects were easily avoided, making it a rather practical extraordinary item. In the future, he wouldn't need to ask the Goddess of Night for help when communicating with spirits.

However, given his Sequence 9 spirituality, using this necklace would probably only be enough for one psychic session.

and many more.

Hobart suddenly realized that he could place the necklace in the "Land of Chaos," then pray for his own power, and then use the necklace on the Iron Throne to mobilize the spirit of the "Land of Chaos" and transmit his psychic abilities into reality!

Theoretically, this is possible; we need to find an opportunity to test it.

The next step was to name this extraordinary item. Hobart guessed that the extraordinary qualities used in this item should come from a Sequence 7 "Spiritualist" of the "Corpse Collector" pathway. However, the necklace only retained the main abilities of the "Spiritualist" during its creation. Some of the rituals and knowledge related to "spirits" given in the potion were not preserved.

Hobert muttered, "Since it comes from 'psychics,' let's just call it the psychic necklace."

After doing all this, he felt his spirituality was almost depleted; he had used up too much of his spirituality while grabbing the offerings.

Hobart glanced at the psychic necklace one last time before leaving the "Land of Chaos".

Hobart was exhausted again tonight. He thought to himself that his sleep quality had improved a lot since he was allowed to freely enter and leave the "Land of Chaos".

Not long after lying down on the bed, Hobert fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, to avoid not being able to find a carriage to rent in the countryside, Hobart simply applied for a two-wheeled carriage from the firm.

It took an hour and a half by carriage to reach Penny's village. After seeing the scenery of the villages on both sides of the road, Hobart joked to himself: I never thought I would become a village lawyer.

After getting off the bus and asking for directions twice, Hobart successfully found Penny's house.

This is a very ordinary farmhouse, which looks low and cramped.

Only Penny's father was at home in the farmhouse; he had gray hair and beard and looked very old.

Upon learning that Hobart was a lawyer and had come to see his daughter, the old man quickly called out Penny's name several times.

Then the old man explained somewhat hastily to Hobart, "Penny has gone to the river; she should be back soon."

Hobart nodded: "It's alright, I can wait."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, a woman in her twenties, who was quite attractive, returned carrying a very cute little boy.

Upon seeing the child, Penny's father nearly jumped up: "Why did you bring him back too?"

This woman must be Penny. Ignoring her father, she looked at Hobart and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Hopper stepped forward and said, "Hello, ma'am, I'm Mr. Barron's lawyer!"

Penny gave a wry smile, then a hint of relief, and said, "He found out after all."

The old woman nearly collapsed to the ground: "I told you I'd get rid of this child! He'll ruin your life!"

The child was playing with the flower wreath in his hand and paid no attention to the adults' conversation.

When Penny saw the child, her eyes were full of tenderness: "But he's my son. Who could bear to lose such a little angel?"

Hobart seemed to see a patch of green grass sprouting from Mr. Barron's head, which made things much easier. But just as he was about to speak, he realized something was amiss: "How old is this child?"

Penny said, "A little over four years old."

"So, this isn't a child you had with Mr. Barron during your marriage?"

"Yes, Barron and I weren't married when Benny was born."

Hobart thought about it and realized he was right; otherwise, a ten-month pregnancy wouldn't be able to hide it from one's spouse.

But a new question arises: why hasn't Penny conceived Mr. Barron's child in the last three years?

Hobart pondered for a moment, then rummaged through his bag and examined the documents. Sure enough, Mr. Barron had been married to his ex-wife for five years, and the two had no children.

He asked Penny, "If it's convenient, could you tell me about this child's background?"

Penny was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, there are some things he should know."

Then Penny told her story: five years ago, a young man came to the farm; he had been hired by Mr. Barron to prune the fruit trees.

This young man was sunny and handsome, and he quickly fell in love with the young and beautiful Penny. On a dark and stormy night, the two of them ate the forbidden fruit.

Not long after, Penny became pregnant. When the young man heard the news, he vowed to marry Penny, but he disappeared without a trace the next day.

Penny inquired and searched for a long time, but she couldn't find the young man.

As her belly grew bigger day by day, she had no choice but to go home and give birth to the child.

She originally thought that working and raising her child at the same time was a pretty good life, but Mr. Barron insisted on marrying her.

Penny was afraid that Mr. Barron would become enraged and harm the child if he found out she had a child, so she dared not tell Barron the truth. Penny's parents also tried their best to hide the matter in order to facilitate their marriage.

Penny felt indebted to Mr. Barron because of the long-standing secrecy, so she smiled less and less.

Hobart smiled. "This has greatly reduced my guilt."
