Chapter 101 The Golden Medicine Reappears

Chapter 101 The Golden Medicine Reappears (Second of 20 Chapters Since Launch)

"Who could it be?" Nems really felt that this world was quite interesting.

Everyone has their own thoughts. There are many talented people in Beiqi Village, and the same is true for Baiwei Town.

Of course, aside from these three individuals having the potential to advance to the Gold rank, the Dartmenley family has been going through a period of turmoil recently, and it is said that some members of the family may also have the potential to advance to the Gold rank.

However, the Floating World Society has been established for quite some time, and the Dartmanley family has been making constant moves since entering Baiwei Town.

Support the Black Viper and the White-tailed Fox to compete for interests with other forces.

It lacks the strength and time to support the Floating World Society.

"In any case, it will be some time before the golden medicine is refined. Now that it has been interrupted, that person will probably not be able to advance for a while."

“In this situation, there’s no need to worry too much. I should focus on my own advancement.” Nemus took out the Book of Time.

The outer shell of the Book of Time was made of a special kind of wood that Nemus couldn't identify.

The paper inside the Book of Time is delicate parchment, on which are now densely covered with writing.

However, upon closer inspection, Nemus discovered that while the words looked like sacred cryptic texts, they were not actually cryptic.

So-called sacred esoteric texts are simplified versions of sacred scripts, used for recitation and chanting.

Nems naturally recognized sacred texts, but the words he was looking at were much more complex, approaching sacred script, yet he hadn't gained enough insight from them.

"So, we still need to obtain the fairy bloodline potion to understand these words?" Nemus had already had Xibin's family taken into custody, and Xibin's body had been prepared and sent over.

"I'll find an opportunity to go and take a look when the time comes. In any case, I'm still very interested in the secrets of the legendary species."

Nemes then turned his attention to the Dartmenley family.

Ever since the day the Dartmanley family's butler met her, and after Sisi escaped from prison and went into hiding, the family had been very well-behaved and had not shown any unusual behavior.

The Dartmanley family even cooperated to some extent when Nemes led the team to arrest the Fauvist cultists.

The silence seemed somewhat strange.

“Especially Xixi, she doesn’t seem like someone who could hold it in for so long.” Nemus didn’t think he was wrong about her.

Cecilia's personality was distorted from a young age.

Almost a week has passed now. Given her condition, it's absolutely impossible for her to have hidden peacefully in a place like the South District for so long without causing any disturbance.

Perhaps it's true that if someone is on your mind, that person will receive a message.

Nemes was pondering the situation of the Dartmenley family when Kru, who was beside him, obtained the latest intelligence from the Grid.

“Sisimari has been found—she’s gone mad.”

Nems showed a slightly surprised expression upon hearing the news.

"It is said that the white-tailed fox betrayed the Dartmenley family."

"After Cecilia fled to her, she was imprisoned by the white-tailed fox and subjected to inhuman torture. During the torture, Cecilia went insane."

"It was during this period that one of White-tailed Fox's subordinates became involved in the Floating World Society. After being captured, he revealed this information."

“Sissimari has now been brought back.”

“Let’s go, let’s go see him.” Nemus stood up, vaguely sensing that he had grasped something.

The Dartmanley family's initial attitude was very clear, subtly implying both a threat and a desire to win them over.

In short, it's a carrot and stick approach. Under these circumstances, most of his actions will be prevented, making it impossible for him to move an inch in Tailtail Town. At that point, he can neither advance nor retreat, and ultimately he can only rely on the Dartmenley family, with whom he has a blood relationship.

Inviting guests, beheading, and taking them in as dogs are roughly derivatives of this approach.

It's not exactly new, but if Nems isn't capable enough, he simply won't be able to counter this kind of scheme, and the chances of success are still quite high.

In this situation, Nemes struck first.

After that, the Dartmenley family's attitude changed.

When Sisi broke in that night to cause trouble, the Dartmenley family couldn't possibly stop her. In other words, Sisi's arrest was actually within the Dartmenleys' expectations.

"Their attitude towards me has changed." As Nemes thought this, that vague feeling became clear, and he understood Dartmenley's thoughts.

"Indeed, there are no eternal enemies in this world."

To the average person, Nair's betrayal of his family led to its decline, from a noble family in Airspring City to a place like Tailtail Town.

This is an absolute feud.

That was indeed the case at first; Datmenley harbored ill intentions towards Nair.

Even after Nemes took over and used various means to facilitate the awakening of the Holy Bone, and spread the reputation of the awakening of the Saint's essence, the Dartmenley family's thoughts did not change much.

They used various means to force Nemus to return to the family, with the sole purpose of stealing and plundering Nemus's research results.

However, everything has changed now.

Poole opened the cell door. Cecilia was still a wanted fugitive, and after being caught, she was naturally put back in prison.

Nemus stepped inside and saw Cecilia with a completely broken expression.

The former Miss Sissi was now in a sorry state, slumped in the hay, her body trembling as Nemus walked into the prison.

"According to the person in the know, the White-tailed Fox must have obtained some kind of human alchemy secret technique, which allows it to use people with bloodlines as the elements for alchemy. It has been causing a lot of trouble for Cecilia during this period."

Drawing the Forest Sword, Nemus used the tip to lift a corner of Cecilia's clothes, revealing needle marks all over her body.

"It's the Golden Medicine again!" At this moment, Nemus finally understood what the sincerity the butler meant when he saw him for the last time.

It was this crazy, eccentric woman, Cecilia, standing right in front of me.

To be precise, it is a golden medicine refined using this Cecilia as a vessel.

The white-tailed fox's desire to advance to the Iron species was merely a ruse.

What truly caused all of this was Dartment's magnum opus of research over the years.

Back then, Nair's parents and some family members became 'medicine'.

It nurtured the younger generation of some families, such as Jacques.

And now, this younger generation has also become the raw material for medicine.

The goal, of course, is to truly cultivate a genuine golden seed.

"From this point of view, the Dartmenley family is very sincere and genuinely wants to welcome me back to the family."

"And if I'm willing to accept, I estimate that the position of head of the Dartmenley family will be mine next."
