Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1059
As both of them continued pondering in the secret room, Dylan suddenly shouted from outside, “Dad!”
“What is it, Dylan?”
“One of the servants found an ancient-looking box in the manor earlier… Attached to it was a letter with Gerald’s
name on it!” said Dylan as he entered the room with the bo.
Just as Dylan had said, a letter addressed to Gerald had been placed atop the square box.
“Is there any indication of the sender?” asked Daryl.
“None that I know of. According to the servant, he found it by accident. Even after enquiring Welson about it, none
of his security systems were able to capture any clues!” replied Dylan, his tone slightly anxious.
He had reason to feel so. After all, his father belonged to the Soul Palace, and everyone who was part of that secret
society was the best among the best! Since someone was actually able to infiltrate their manor—even after Welson
and his men had taken charge of the Crawford family’s security—of course he would feel nervous!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“…How odd… I wonder why so many weird incidents are occurring recently… Could something big be about to
happen…?” muttered Daryl who was also starting to get worried.
“…Regardless, take a look inside the wooden box, Gerald. It’s meant for you anyway,” added Daryl after a brief
pause.
“Alright!” replied Gerald as he doubtfully opened the box.
Upon opening it, an ancient-looking scroll was revealed.
After inspecting it a bit closer, it seemed to be a route map in a desert. The few grains of sand that were present on
the scroll confirmed their deduction.
Every point on the map was marked clearly, and Gerald found himself surprised when he realized that the final
destination appeared to be some underground palace. What more, there was a large sarcophagus in the middle of
that palace!
Though the scroll was rather compact with rather crudely-marked details, the sarcophagus clearly stood out the
most.
“…Well, it’s definitely a map of sorts…” said Gerald after looking at it for quite a while, still feeling slightly baffled.
Who exactly could have sent him such an oddity?
“…Based on the coordinates, it appears that the desert in question should be the Death Desert located northwest
from here. It puzzles me as to why our anonymous sender even sent Gerald such a map… Also, that sarcophagus
was definitely meant to stand out among the other details on the map… From the looks of it, it could be an eternal
coffin…” replied Daryl.
“An eternal coffin?” asked Dylan, confused.
“Indeed. I’ve seen such coffins before in the picture of the sun… The coffin itself is a patent belonging to one of the
countries in the Western Regions, and it has a history of at least a few thousand years by now. According to
legends, people who are buried in such coffins will be able to keep their appearance and bodies fully intact,” replied
Daryl as he took a deep breath.
“There used to be a lot of people who wanted to get their hands on the eternal coffin, but even after so long,
nobody’s truly seen it before. How queer… Why could have sent you such a large gift? What even is the meaning
behind all this…?” added Daryl.
“…You know, Parker said that someone aided him secretly while he was looking for leads to locate the Sun League.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow that someone’s sent us this map, I wonder if the sender is the same person who helped Parker… Could it be
that the person has been helping us behind the scenes this entire time?” said Dylan as both he and Daryl turned to
look at Gerald.
Daryl knew for a fact that there wasn’t such a person in his life who would do something like that for him. Dylan was
thinking the same thing.
As a result, Gerald was the only possible person with such a connection.
“…Could it be my master, Finnley…? Though there’s little reason for him to do things behind the scenes… If he truly
wished to help me, he’d definitely make himself known!” replied Gerald, still feeling perplexed after giving it quite a
bit of thought.
In the end, Finnley seemed to be the only one that made sense. However, there really was no reason for Finnley not
to just show himself, right?
“…Regardless, that issue can wait. For now, why not open the letter first and see what it says,” said Daryl.
Upon opening the letter, Gerald was greeted by only a few lines of words. However, when all three of them read
the letter’s contents, they ended up feeling rather stunned.
‘When the bright sky erodes the moon,’
‘And water flows in the opposite direction,’
‘The Golden flower will wither as soon as it falls.’
