Chapter 640 Inside the study of Huiyao Province.
Ryan sat on the leather sofa, while old Eugene stood nervously beside him with his hands tucked in.
Ryan smiled and pointed to the sofa opposite him, saying, "Sit down, old Eugene. Don't be nervous, just be the same as when you were at your house."
Old Eugene remained silent for a moment. Seeing that Ryan really wanted him to sit down, he sat down on the soft sofa with a nervous heart, but still didn't dare to sit all the way down.
Ryan laughed and said, "Now, old Eugene, you can tell me the intelligence I wanted earlier."
"As for what you said about wanting your descendants to become nobles, it's just a matter of a word to me, so old Eugene, you don't need to worry that I'll go back on my word. After all, I won't ruin my reputation over such a small matter."
“Yes, yes!” Old Eugene nodded repeatedly.
Then, old Eugene sat on the sofa for a moment, organizing his thoughts, before speaking:
"This story begins when I was forty-three years old..."
"Back then, the city lord of Cornwall was not Lord Jared, but a fifth-tier peak summoner named Logan."
"My friend's name is Lawrence Knight. He's the one who told me about that strange phenomenon of life force bursting forth, which you're asking about, Lord Rein."
Upon hearing this, Ryan interrupted old Eugene, saying, "Wait a minute."
Although he didn't know what Ryan was up to, old Eugene nodded and stopped talking.
In his mind, Raine asked the spirit of the Book of Human Principles, "Human Principles, can you find information about Lawrence Knight?"
Renli shook his head upon hearing this: "I'm sorry, Master, the Lawrence Knight you mentioned should have died long ago. The current Lawrence Knight is a five-year-old child."
Renn nodded and looked at old Eugene, saying, "Let's continue."
Old Eugene said, "Lawrence and I met during a small battle to wipe out the kobolds, and we got along quite well."
"That day, I don't know what happened to Lawrence, but he suddenly found me in secret and told me about the strange story about the burst of life force."
"He said he was actually chased to Cornwall by a group of people, and no matter how well he hid, he was still discovered by those who were chasing him."
"And the group of people who were chasing him did so because he learned this information from his father."
"In the Radiant Province of the Empire, thirty kilometers east of Sandstone Village, a strong life force once emerged."
"The vibrant life force even turned the entire sky green, it was truly a miracle!"
"That spectacle lasted for less than fifteen minutes before disappearing. Only a small number of people saw it, and they all speculated whether some kind of treasure had appeared at that location."
"But soon, a group of people dressed in black appeared out of nowhere and began to indiscriminately kill the people around the place where the strange phenomenon occurred. No one in the entire Sandstone Village was spared."
"Lawrence's father was a well-known adventurer, so he escaped from the group of men in black, but he was seriously injured."
"Lawrence's father died after he told Lawrence the news."
"..." Old Eugene paused for a moment, giving Renn a chance to ask a question.
But seeing that Ryan didn't seem inclined to ask anything, old Eugene continued:
"After Lawrence told me the location of the spectacle, he secretly left, and soon I learned that Lawrence had died in the wilderness."
“Even… even Lawrence’s wife and children in Cornwall were brutally murdered…” Old Eugene said through gritted teeth.
Ryan squinted and repeated the location that old Eugene had just mentioned.
“Huiyao Province, thirty kilometers east of Shashi Village.”
