Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1150

It was at that moment that Yume led a middle-aged man into the room where Gerald and the other two were currently in.

As Yume saw that Jasmine— who looked as attractive and attractive as Yume— stood quite close to Gerald, for some unknown reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.

But due to that discomfort, his tone was a little louder as he coldly said, “This is the person you are looking for, Gerald! Mr. Yarrow here has brought all the relevant information on the island in that year!”

With that, he moved to stand on the other side of Gerald. Seeing that, Jasmine herself began to carefully assess the beauty who was now standing as close as possible to Gerald.

As sparks fly between the two women, the middle-aged man — who holds the information in his hand — greets, “Master. Crawford!”

“Happy to have you here, Mr. Yarrow. Please sit down."

Tim Yarrow was a person from the cultural affairs bureau in Montholm City. According to what the people told Gerald, the man knew all about the development of the City of Montholm from ancient times to the present day. If one wanted to investigate the origins and history of this place, Tim was the right person to look for.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tim got straight to the point.

“So I heard you are interested in the history of city development on Montholm Island, Mr. Crawford's. With that in mind, I have investigated quite a bit about this topic this afternoon. You see, the city of Montholm actually began as a small fishing village by the sea. Back then, there were only a hundred families inhabiting the area. As for the history of the island, I fear it dates back to about ten thousand years ago ... The evidence to support that claim is a fossil that was excavated on the island decades ago ... "

“All this sounds very well recorded and I have no doubt the evidence you are talking about. However, Mr. Yarrow, I wonder if you are aware of the legendary unofficial historical events but have a solid foundation?” gerald asked after hearing all that.

“An unofficial historical event you said? I'd like you to know that there are too many of them! Forgive my enthusiasm, but researching unofficial historical events and gathering evidence to deny the official has been my personal hobby—and my only— for as long as I live! If that's what you want to ask me, then you can be sure that you have found the right person!” replied Tim with a smile.

With that, he began detailing some old legends to Gerald.

“I have reason to be so excited. After all, the words in the book were very different compared to the commonly recognized and discovered ancient words. Since I had chosen to major in archaeology at university, I was lucky enough that one of my professors had taught me the meaning of some ancient words. After I finished deciphering the text, I found that the book was full of legends and unofficial historical events. To make it simpler and more modern, the person recording the legend seems to be making a memoir.”

“However, I also found that the contents of the book had been extracted from the stone tablet. In other words, the story even preceded those who had moved the memoir into book format! As for the contents, it described an incident about an old man who survived due to luck. ”

“In the book, the old man said that he was lucky enough to have been chosen to participate in a special funeral. The burial itself was considered special because she was assigned to head there to bury the elves! As for the burial place, it is a magnificent palace under the sea!”

Hearing that, both Gerald and Yume couldn't help but exchange glances anxiously.

“Furthermore, the book then describes how thirty-seven people — including its master — have brought the coffin all the way to Montholm Island. They apparently stopped here to rest because of the intense storm. ”

'...Isn't this... the same story of the six tablets of stone...? I'm pretty sure of that! With any luck, the book hopefully contains what happens after they come to the island. After all, I remember the following wall painting showing that the old beggar only had twenty-seven men with him after stopping by the island. Where did the other nine people disappear to?' Gerald thought inwardly as his eyelids twitched slightly.

'Come to think of it, the contents of the stone tablets increasingly looked like the ancient tombstone of one of the nine people left on the island, those words seemed to describe the person for life... Could it mean that the nine people left behind did not die? What happened then? Why did they decide to stay in the middle of their journey…?'

“Then it was stated in the memoir that after the author arrived on the island of Montholm, his entire life changed due to the scenes he witnessed that he claimed he could never forget for the rest of his life. To be clear, a group of men were camping out one night when suddenly, the sky seemed to collapse while the earth split apart! Everyone was convinced that a calamity would befall them and that the entire island would sink! However, just as they were about to start fleeing, they all saw a huge bronze house hovering in the air!”

“Not only is the floating house big, but there also seems to be people in it! After one of the house's occupants came out, the large door of the flying house opened. The second happened, the men of— who are still on the island—ludam immediately heard wretched wails from inside the floating house!”

“Because of that, all men are scared half to death, and for good reason too. It is explained here that the wails that those people made sounded like they were all suffering greatly.”.
