Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: The Purpose of the Bead
"The Vein Holder, a position of great honor. Within this pulse, your status is equivalent to your position at Demarco Mount, or the King of The North Sea at the royal court. Would you let your subordinates drink your blood, or spend every day in a dim, freezing cellar, living an inhuman life?"
Elwood Thorneycroft raised his eyebrows, his voice tinged with pride: "Would you? Would you?"
"Whose blood bag is it?"
Julius Reed had no interest in bickering with Elwood Thorneycroft.
He finally had the chance to learn the truth.
Naturally, he wouldn’t miss any details.
Previously, whether it was Devlin or Granny Xihua, he had no opportunity to capture them.
"How did you gain entry to the Bead Pulse? As far as I know, you and your foster father Fabian Percival were merely pawns of Devlin. Logically speaking, you may not even have the chance to enter Thunderpeak Hall, yet you have had contact with the Bead?"
He couldn’t help but doubt.
A person like Elwood Thorneycroft, strictly speaking, was expendable.
To enter the Bead Pulse would at least require being a top figure in Thunderpeak Hall, akin to Brysen Beaumont or Devlin.
How could a mediocre woman suddenly have the chance to meet the Bead?
Moreover, to impersonate Isabella Warm, bringing the supposed Divine Dragon Tripod to The North Sea?
Things were suspicious.
It’s always right to be cautious.
At their level, no one’s a fool.
Everyone’s excessively shrewd.
"This matter, it’s a long story."
Elwood Thorneycroft leaned close to Julius Reed’s ear and whispered, "Although Granny Xihua, the leader of Thunderpeak Hall, belongs to the Bead Pulse, Thunderpeak Hall has always obeyed the royal pulse before. The Bead Pulse, can’t afford to provoke the royal pulse. As for the blood bag..."
"The effectiveness of Isabella Warm’s blood is due to her consumption of Blue Sea Green Vine. But as a Bead Pulse Vein Holder, it’s impossible for her to be bled continuously. This isn’t a long-term solution, nor is it fitting for her status. Both Devlin and Granny Xihua had once consumed the longevity pills you provided."
"Thus, Bead ordered those two to couple and gave birth to two daughters. However, because both Granny Xihua and Devlin consumed the longevity pills, their physiques were completely different from ordinary people, so the daughters they produced also had issues."
"What issues?"
Julius Reed asked eagerly.
Such a thing!
He was far too ignorant.
"One has an extremely yin constitution, known in the sect as a cauldron. The other has an extremely yang constitution. The blood of the extremely yang constitution can be used as an ingredient for refining longevity pills. It’s not perfect, but it could replace the Bead’s blood. However, fate decreed that the girl with the extremely yang physique could only stay in extremely cold places, suppressing the yang energy within her body."
"Extremely yin constitution! Cauldron!"
Julius Reed muttered to himself.
His mind was struck by lightning!
But suddenly, he recalled what Red Widow had said.
Before traveling from Medicine King Valley to the capital, Julius Reed had instructed Red Widow to start investigating the Radcliffe Family.
At that time, Red Widow’s report confirmed that Quella Radcliffe was indeed Burl Radcliffe’s biological daughter.
It can’t be!
A tremor went through Julius Reed’s heart, but he quickly composed himself.
Once he returned to Gonzalez City, he would definitely bring Quella Radcliffe’s family for a thorough examination.
"The blood bag is exactly that girl with the extremely yang constitution," Elwood Thorneycroft took a deep breath, his eyes filled with sympathy and compassion: "A fine young lady, locked in a dungeon, bled day after day."
"Why do you know so much?"
Julius Reed’s emotions were no longer calm.
"Isabella Warm! That plan from four years ago, did it really involve Isabella Warm?"
Since Elwood Thorneycroft knew such core secrets, it indicated he was already an important figure within the Bead Pulse.
About the matter four years ago, he surely had clarity.
"Bead..."
Elwood Thorneycroft shook his head, slightly confused: "No one knows what Bead intends. Her purpose in going to the Swimming City Ghost Market was to find the real Divine Dragon Tripod. By obtaining the Divine Dragon Tripod, she could go to Pendleton headquarters. Once there, she could kill the Alliance Hierarch, severing the Seven Veins!"
"Does she want to become the Alliance Hierarch herself?"
Julius Reed asked.
If Bead wanted to be the Alliance Hierarch herself, that would mean standing in opposition to him.
If not, it was quite possible that Isabella Warm was actually helping him eliminate his adversaries.
Even knowing Isabella Warm was a Bead Pulse Vein Holder, Julius Reed still couldn’t believe she would betray him.
Now, Julius Reed is even more uncertain.
Swimming City!
Ghost Market!
The person he arranged to take the fake Divine Dragon Tripod out of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance might possibly be alive in Swimming City!
"Why, how can you know so many core secrets?"
Julius Reed raised his head and looked into Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes.
He must know what the reason was.
"Because, I and the royal pulse..."
Click.
Elwood Thorneycroft hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly the door sounded.
"Cooperate!"
She abruptly threw down the bedsheet, exposing her back, and clumsily pushed Julius Reed down onto the bed.
Then.
The door was pushed open.
"Get out!"
Elwood Thorneycroft turned around, her chest buttons already undone.
She scolded Granny Xihua at the doorway: "No manners!"
"Yes!"
Granny Xihua was also stunned on the spot.
She looked closely and noticed that the man on the bed was wearing a python robe, seeming somewhat familiar?
The North Sea Prince Consort! 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
This woman, actually getting involved with the North Sea Prince Consort?
"Please forgive me."
In front of others, Granny Xihua bowed deeply and quickly closed the door.
After seeing her leave, Elwood Thorneycroft finally took a long breath.
"You... came out."
Julius Reed turned his head, pointing at Elwood Thorneycroft’s chest front, not looking at the scenery in front.
"Devlin and Granny Xihua don’t get along, you can take the opportunity to exploit their conflict," Elwood Thorneycroft, with flushed face, hurriedly straightened her clothes.
"Thank you."
Julius Reed sat up from the bed and broke the awkwardness: "You gave a fake Divine Dragon Tripod, aren’t you afraid the King of The North Sea will find out?"
Since offering the Divine Dragon Tripod to the King of The North Sea has to be made with great fanfare.
Well known by everyone.
But a fake cannot last long, and it probably won’t take too much time before Everton Davenport discovers the flaw.
"Inside the Divine Dragon Tripod, there is poison."
Elwood Thorneycroft looked seriously at Julius Reed: "As soon as Everton Davenport touches the Divine Dragon Tripod, everyone present will be knocked out by the poison gas inside. The intent is to trap the sect people here, preventing the restoration of The North Sea. Meanwhile, Granny Xihua and Devlin, will take the opportunity to abduct the King of The North Sea and control the royal court! Bringing everything under their control!"
"What a big game of chess!"
Julius Reed suddenly laughed.
He stretched out his right hand with a packet of medicine in his palm: "You can use this to replace the poison inside the Divine Dragon Tripod, this way even Granny Xihua and Devlin won’t escape."
"Why should I help you?"
Elwood Thorneycroft smiled at him: "Give me a reason."
"I, the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, act without needing a reason," Julius Reed walked to the window and slowly pushed it open: "Help or don’t help."
Having said that, he leapt out, disappearing from the room.
"Arrogant man."
Elwood Thorneycroft shook her head, stored the medicine, and went to her suitcase to take out a new outfit to change into.
She also touched up her lipstick.
"What are you up to!"
The door was pushed open.
Granny Xihua and Devlin stormed in furiously.
