#486 - Chapter 475: News about Elek (Part 2)
"Really just asking about something? You couldn't possibly be this nice," Merz snorted, his tone full of doubt.
"Master, you're misunderstanding me. I really am just inquiring about information," Jiang Han said, somewhat helplessly.
Heaven and earth bear witness, this time he really had no intention of asking Merz for help.
"Heh, if I believed you, I'd be out of my mind," Merz said with a fake smile. "Speak, what is it?"
"Master, do you know Elek?" Jiang Han asked.
"Elek?"
Involved in serious business, Merz also became much more serious. "What are you asking about him for?"
"There are some things I want to ask him," Jiang Han said.
"Something to ask? Ask Elek?"
Merz's face was full of question marks. "Are you sure?"
"Of course."
"..."
Merz was silent for a while, then sighed heavily, his tone somewhat uneasy. "Young man, there's a limit to joking around, okay?"
"An old man like me can't take such a shock. If my psychological endurance were a little worse, I might just pass out."
"I'm warning you, if something happens to me, you'll be responsible."
"Do you even know how long ago Elek lived? You have something to ask him?"
"Come on, tell me, what kind of ideas are you harboring in that brain of yours? Let me see..."
Jiang Han: "I have the Reincarnation Seal."
"..."
Merz glanced at the communication token, his neck stiffening. "I know! So what? Do you want me to give you an award?"
"There's no need for an award," Jiang Han said, "but the Reincarnation Seal can briefly summon the souls of the deceased."
"Summon them, so what? You can't possibly face-to-face... Oh~~~"
Merz spoke halfway, then suddenly let out a long "Oh."
And then, nothing happened.
The air was silent.
Merz looked at the communication token, scratching his head, the atmosphere becoming awkward.
He forgot about that...
This kid's Saint Judgment item can't be judged by common sense.
"Well..."
After a long while, Merz cleared his throat, coughed twice, and said, "Of course I know the function of the Reincarnation Seal, I was just making a harmless joke."
"Moreover, finding Elek is almost impossible. Even with the Reincarnation Seal, that's a figure from so many years ago, you might not even be able to find his ashes."
"So whether you have the Reincarnation Seal or not, it doesn't really make any difference."
"Don't you think that makes sense?"
"It makes sense," Jiang Han agreed.
"Yeah, right," Merz stroked his beard, looking pleased. This kid was finally being reasonable for once.
"But I'm not listening," Jiang Han said abruptly.
"..."
The pleased expression on Merz's face came to an abrupt halt.
MMP!
Why is this kid so stubborn!
"Let me say it again, finding Elek is indeed too difficult," Merz sighed. "It's simply a waste of time."
"But this is important," Jiang Han explained. "The whereabouts of the last Saint Judgment item are very likely related to Elek. We can't just give up on a Saint Judgment item because it's difficult, can we?"
"Besides, where is it so easy to get a Saint Judgment item?"
"The logic is there, but..."
Merz said with a suspicious look, "How do I feel like the two you got, didn't seem that difficult?"
"Do you even have the right to say that?"
"Cough, cough, it's all luck, good luck," Jiang Han said. "Actually, the difficulty is still quite high."
"Heh."
Merz sneered, "You also said it was luck, do you think you can rely on luck to find Elek..."
Merz suddenly stopped talking.
If it were someone else, it might be hopeless.
This kid...
It's better not to speak too confidently, you never know when you might stumble.
"Master."
Jiang Han continued, "You don't have to worry about these things. Since the first two Saint Judgment items have already been found, then it's not impossible for this last one."
"Whether it succeeds or not, we should always try."
"Isn't that right?"
Merz was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed, "This time is different."
"I think you really don't need to waste your time. Instead of spending your energy on such ethereal things, you should improve your strength."
"Ye Han, just listen to this old man's advice."
"Master, do you really know something?" Jiang Han asked curiously. Just to simply understand some information, Merz was so pessimistic, which was a bit abnormal.
"You could say that," Merz nodded. "In short, it's impossible for you to find Elek's remnant soul."
"Why?" Jiang Han pressed.
"Because he most likely isn't in this world anymore," Merz said. "I once saw a secret in the Supreme Hall, Elek, once returned to the Supreme Hall."
"And according to the message he left, he should have directly left the Lost Continent, his destination unknown."
"So, even if you want to find him, you can only leave the Lost Continent."
"In the vast starry sky, what do you think the chances are of finding a person, and a remnant soul at that?"
"If that's the case, then it's really troublesome..."
Jiang Han also felt a bit thorny.
"So I said, even his approximate location, or even which world he's in, is unknown, how do you find him?" Merz said. "This is simply nonsense."
"Of course, if you think you can run into him by luck, then I have nothing to say."
"It is indeed difficult."
Jiang Han had to admit that the probability was too small, there was no information at all.
It's impossible for someone to suddenly appear in front of you, right?
"Then what was the reason for him leaving the Lost Continent? Did he say?" Jiang Han asked again.
"No," Merz shook his head. "The only thing certain is that he left the Lost Continent."
"As for the others, I don't know, anyway, that's what was recorded in that secret."
"Is that so..."
Jiang Han listened to the voice coming from the communication token, and stroked his chin.
It's true that Elek left the Lost Continent, but the problem is, why did he leave the Lost Continent?
There's always a reason behind it.
If he could figure it out, maybe he could find Elek's whereabouts.
Merz was silent for a while, then said, "All I can help you with is this. If you want to know more, you can go to the main hall of the Supreme Hall. Maybe there's more information there that can help you."
"Of course, the possibility isn't great, don't have too high expectations."
"Understood, thank you," Jiang Han said.
"As for the location of this main hall..."
Merz smiled slyly, "It's quite private. It's probably not easy for ordinary people to find."
"I happen to have the exact coordinates here, I just don't know if you want them."
