The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2044 Return to Spirit Island

In a secret room on Dengtianling Island, the light was dim and the atmosphere was solemn.

The old man in white and the old man in silver robe sat opposite each other, and opposite them sat two people - Matthew and Giraud who had just returned from the mysterious dark scene.

At this time, Ma Zhengzheng, in a steady and slow tone, narrated in detail to the two old men the various experiences he had encountered in the dark, as well as the important information he had obtained with great difficulty.

However, Giraud on the side had a gloomy face and a guilty look. He sat there quietly, with his lips tightly closed, and said nothing.

This time, the mission he carried out deep inside the demon clan can be said to have been a complete failure.

Several days have passed since they returned to Dengtianling Island.

During this period, they repeatedly reviewed the entire operation process, and combined with the information left in the feather that Giraud had given to Matthew, they finally realized it.

It turned out that from the moment Ji Luo stepped into the demon territory, he had been unknowingly controlled by the other side.

Giraud himself knew nothing about the key information stored in the feathers.

This means that all the details and links are the result of the demon clan's sophisticated and sinister plan. Every piece of information is a deliberate arrangement by them. Their sinister purpose is obvious. They want to use Ji Luo, an unwitting pawn, to convey false and misleading information, and thus lead the people on Dengtianling Island into wrong judgments.

When Ji Luo slowly woke up, he was surprised to find that he was on Dengtianling Island.

He was completely at a loss as to what he had experienced before, and the memories in his mind seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, becoming blurred.

The only fragment he could recall was that after he stepped into the mysterious black curtain, he struggled to pass through a nearly transparent light curtain that emitted a strange light. From then on, everything disappeared as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

During that dark time, Giraud occasionally had brief moments of clarity, but even so, his awareness of his surroundings and his own situation was still very limited.

He only clearly realized that he was still trapped in that endless darkness and could not escape.

What's even more strange is that every time he wakes up from a coma, a lot of unfamiliar information would inexplicably emerge in his mind. These information came like a tide, making him overwhelmed and difficult to understand.

Although Giraud had a vague feeling that the situation was not good and understood that he might have exposed his true identity without realizing it, he felt helpless and had no idea how to deal with the situation.

Fortunately, Matthew successfully found Giraud who was lost in it.

And if Matthew had not extended a helping hand in time, based solely on the seemingly true but actually false news brought back by Ji Luo, Dengtianling Island would have suffered immeasurable losses and might even have been in great danger of being destroyed.

"Jiro, please don't blame yourself too much. The powerful strength displayed by the demons this time far exceeded our previous estimates and imaginations. In such a dangerous environment, you were able to be discovered by them, but you still survived and successfully returned. This is already extremely lucky."

When Matthew stopped to tell about this thrilling experience, the silver robe

The old man looked at Ji Luo, whose face was full of guilt, and comforted him in a serious and gentle voice.

After all, Giraud was his confidant, and he naturally couldn't bear to see Giraud immersed in deep self-blame and unable to extricate himself.

"That's right, Ji Luo. It's understandable that you lack sufficient experience in dealing with this kind of dangerous place since you are new to it. It's a blessing in disguise that you can return safely now. And this time, thanks to your courage to take the initiative to go deep into it, the young master was able to enter later. If it weren't for your courage to go first, the young master would probably not dare to easily set foot in such a dangerous place."

At this time, the old man in white also showed a friendly smile and comforted Ji Luo.

After hearing the concerned and comforting words from the clan leader and elders, Jiro finally managed to force a very forced smile on his tense face.

However, that smile seemed to be forced upon his face, appearing extremely stiff and unnatural.

Then, Giraud slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Matthew who was silent beside him.

However, facing Giraud's gaze, Matthew was as unresponsive as a sculpture.

At this moment, the deep sense of loss in Giraud's heart could not be easily soothed by just a few words of comfort.

This kind of loss was like a heavy dark cloud hanging over his heart, and it would not dissipate until he had gone through a long period of self-adjustment.

Matthew had no intention of caring or exploring what Giraud was feeling at the moment.

After all, in Matthew's opinion, he had done his best by bringing Giraud back here.

So, why would he waste his breath saying anything to comfort the other person?

If Giraud can't even get over such a small setback, then perhaps he is destined to live a mediocre life.

However, even though he thought so in his heart, Matthew was very clear that some words were not suitable to be said directly in this situation.

After all, these ideas, in the final analysis, actually have little substantive connection with him. In this case, he naturally doesn't bother to interfere in other people's affairs.

"This time when I entered the Black Curtain, I searched the soul and found a wisp of demonic thought that was lurking in Jiro's body. I got an important message from it, that is, the demons are preparing to move the Black Curtain to another place." Seeing that the three of them stopped talking, Matthew continued.

When these words were spoken, they were all stunned, including Ji Luo.

Especially after Jiro heard the evil thoughts that Matthew mentioned, a look of disgust unconsciously appeared on his face.

As for whether he hated Matthew or the evil thoughts, only he knew directly.

Matthew has been telling about his experiences inside the secret room since he entered it.

However, he did not mention a word about the Maha Chi Lianzhu.

Ji Luo's memory was controlled by the demons, so naturally he didn't know about the Maha Chi Lianzhu.

Especially before returning to Dengtianling Island, Matthew once again used the dream-inducing technique on Jiro and asked him about the Maha Chi Lianzhu.

Ji Luo seemed to be completely unaware of the Maha Chi Lianzhu at that time.

Matthew was not reassured by this, but used his powerful spiritual sense to forcibly change some of Jiro's memories, which was safer.

After all, the matter of the Maha Chi Lianzhu was too important and must not be known to other people.

As for the demons, they certainly wouldn't take the initiative to come out and talk about this.

Moreover, the demons didn't know that he was the one who took away the Maha Chi Lianzhu.
