Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: The Secret of the Night Fairy
"Don’t rush, take your time to speak."
When she heard the words "Night Fairy," the atmosphere turned somewhat heavy.
The early spring was slightly chilly, and the air carried a moist fragrance.
Yet the Night Fairy knew well that this person wasn’t herself.
In their alliance, all past leaders were called the Night Fairy.
Her master was known as the Night Fairy.
She herself was also called the Night Fairy.
The Night Fairy wasn’t an individual, but a title.
Much like the Sovereign of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
As long as one obtained the Thousand Blades Sword, which symbolized the right of leadership, they could be called the Night Fairy.
This generation’s Night Fairy, her real name, was Gabriel Abernathy.
Gabriel like the crabapple tree, Abernathy like the Gardenia flower.
Because she was born in that season.
The crabapple trees slept through spring, the Gardenia bloomed.
"What is the Night Fairy’s relationship with The North Sea?"
Gabriel Abernathy asked softly.
The former Night Fairy, many years ago, had already passed away due to illness.
And the battle of The North Sea occurred three years after the last Night Fairy’s death.
Yet she had followed the former Night Fairy’s final wishes for all these years.
Not to have any contact with The North Sea.
Could it be that this young lady was trying to frame her?
But she didn’t look the part!
Clearly a naive and sweet girl!
Where’s the scheming!
"It’s absolutely true!"
Lily Jorden, seeing no one around, pulled Gabriel Abernathy outside the wall.
"After leaving Gonzalez City, I came to The North Sea, infiltrated the organization lurking here. Later, a madwoman fought with me, and I thought I had blown my cover, so based on the information I had, I snuck into The North Sea territory alone."
"But wasn’t The North Sea left desolate with barely a soul to be found after that great battle? What’s the point of going there?"
Gabriel Abernathy furrowed her brow slightly, her tone filled with doubt.
The words "Night Fairy" made her feel deeply unsettled.
Hopefully.
Everything was just speculation and rumors.
"The North Sea is indeed a wasteland, overgrown with weeds. But I made a major discovery inside The North Sea’s dungeons!"
Lily Jorden narrowed her eyes, gently squeezing her hand, "The king of The North Sea’s largest alliance isn’t Everton Davenport!"
"That’s impossible!"
Gabriel Abernathy shook her head, "Back then, Everton Davenport initiated a national war, but in the end, he was decimated by the Wolf Cavalry’s thousand-mile raid, and The North Sea was blood-washed! His own head was chopped off by the Sovereign of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and hung in front of the city gates of The North Sea’s royal city. It’s still there to this day!"
This was common knowledge.
The Night Fairy too belonged to the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
The sensational impact of that matter was in no way less than the disappearance of the Sovereign of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
Now, the woman before her claimed that the leader of the national war wasn’t Everton Davenport, which was simply ridiculous.
"It’s a bit cold outside, I’ll head back first."
Gabriel Abernathy offered a polite smile, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Mad and babbling nonsense.
She had thought her own alliance had some secret.
Now, it seemed like a false alarm.
"The Everton Davenport of that year, wasn’t Everton Davenport! It was the Night Fairy in disguise!"
Lily Jorden suddenly grabbed Gabriel Abernathy’s hand from behind, "Quella Radcliffe, this matter is of great importance, you must tell Julius Reed!"
She was a bit anxious and somewhat uneasy.
"What did you say!"
Gabriel Abernathy turned sharply, her eyes glaring at Lily Jorden like a wolf.
"Quella Radcliffe, you..."
Lily Jorden was startled by this sudden turn of events, completely dumbfounded.
In her memory, Quella Radcliffe was easygoing and had never been this fierce.
"Sorry..."
Gabriel Abernathy calmed his emotions and managed to squeeze out a smile.
He took a deep breath and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hearing about this, I might be a little surprised. You know, those people from The North Sea, they’ve always been troubling Julius. Can you be more specific, so I can pass on the information when he wakes up?"
Everton Davenport!
The illustrious leader of The North Sea!
Yet, he was killed due to the improper initiation of a war against the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, leading to the downfall of his nation.
His skull still hangs on the ruined gates of Ivory Bay in The North Sea.
Such a heroic figure, fallen to this state.
Something nobody could have anticipated.
Countless lives of The North Sea people were lost as well.
The most powerful group under the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s command was destroyed overnight.
A lamentable outcome indeed.
"In The North Sea dungeons, I found a hidden chamber! It was extremely concealed. If not for the negligence over the years that let rats and other animals damage the walls, it would never have been discovered! After I opened the hidden chamber, I found lines of text on the wall."
Lily Jorden seemed to fall into reminiscence.
She looked at the sky and said blankly, "Those were characters carved into the walls with fingers, which, though unnoticed at the time, have been revealed by the passage of time and weathering. The last six words, ’Everton Davenport, final words.’"
When Lily Jorden saw those hate-filled words on the wall, she stood frozen on the spot.
A massive conspiracy!
The seed of a conspiracy capable of overthrowing The North Sea and the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
It had been planted many years ago!
Could anyone have imagined that a matter long settled could still harbor secrets?
"What does it say?"
Gabriel Abernathy grabbed her hand, asking excitedly, "Tell..."
A very ominous premonition slowly surfaced in his heart.
Everyone knew that was Everton Davenport!
Even the people within The North Sea believed it was Everton Davenport.
The king of The North Sea, their leader!
The only one in all the land who could take his place undetected,
Was one person.
Or rather, a certain kind of person.
Night Fairy!
"The wall bore words that Everton Davenport etched with his internal power. It turns out, many years ago, a master came to The North Sea. The master, assuming the alias Kyler Reed, was of Grandmaster level, unmatched! As time went by, Everton Davenport trusted Kyler Reed more and more, eventually treating him as an honored guest!"
Lily Jorden took a deep breath, still unable to conceal her shock, "In the end, at a banquet, Kyler Reed got Everton Davenport drunk, and had him thrown into the depths of the dungeon! And Kyler Reed then impersonated Everton Davenport, assuming the throne of The North Sea. It was only then that Everton Davenport realized that Kyler Reed was Night Fairy. But it was too late."
"Is there evidence?"
Gabriel Abernathy’s body shook, and his breathing quickened!
Kyler Reed!
That was the name of the previous Night Fairy!
A heartless person is naturally ruthless!
He was nearly breaking down.
"I found the personal diary of the then queen of The North Sea in the royal palace. It recorded how Everton Davenport began to grow cold towards her and even suddenly avoided sharing a bed. Looking back now, Everton Davenport had already been replaced at that time."
Lily Jorden shook her head, her expression grave, "This matter must be relayed to Julius Reed! And one more thing, the head hanging at the city gate now is the real Everton Davenport. But Kyler Reed has disappeared without a trace."
"I... I’ve got it."
Gabriel Abernathy nodded, feeling the world spinning around him.
The world seemed to collapse in a moment!
His own master, Kyler Reed.
He hadn’t died.
But had quietly infiltrated The North Sea to replace Everton Davenport?
He...
Couldn’t accept it.
"Quella, I need to go and investigate my father’s death. Remember, you must tell Julius!"
After speaking, Lily Jorden picked up her sword and turned around.
Behind her, Gabriel Abernathy’s eyes revealed a cold light.
In his palm, there was a hidden blade!
