Chapter 281 Discovering the Underground Cave
Henry did not say anything when Evelyn wanted to read his memories because his mind was already broken.
The citizens punched, kicked, threw stones, and stabbed him every day.
And when he almost died, a healing mage immediately healed all his injuries.
This process had been repeating since they captured him.
That was why his mind could not take it anymore, causing him to look like an empty shell.
"I will start now." after saying that, Evelyn read Henry's memories.
'First, let me see the reason why the citizens hate him to the bone.'
She added in her mind.
"Aaaggghhh…" Henry cried out in pain when Evelyn read his memories.
However, none of the citizens felt sorry for him because he was a bad person.
As Henry was crying out in pain, Evelyn saw many memories of what he had done to the citizens.
'No wonder they hate him to the bone.'
She finally understood everything.
Henry had done many cruel things to the citizens.
Some of them even lost their families members because of Henry's cruel actions.
'Now let me see the war between them and magical beasts.'
She started by looking at Henry's betrayal.
'So, he was the reason why the barrier disappeared.'
She saw him attacking the mages in front of the city guard headquarters.
'Hmm? This is…'
She was shocked when she saw the Divine Throne floating in mid-air.
'Is this his magic? If it's magic, what Tier does this magic belong to?'
She was amazed when she saw the Divine Throne.
'He…looks like a king.'
She felt like she was seeing a king when Ace sat on the golden throne.
'So, this is how he killed them.'
She stopped reading Henry's memories shortly after that.
"I'm done." Evelyn uttered, "I also know why the citizens hate him to the bone."
"I see." Ace did not ask what she saw in Henry's memories. "Then how about we go for a walk again?"
"Alright." She nodded her head.
After the duo left, a healing mage treated Henry's injuries.
At the same time, Captain Lia and her subordinates found an underground cave. The cave was huge and beautiful.
They even felt as if they had entered another world when they were in the underground cave because the atmosphere in the cave was so heavenly.
"You all stay here. I will report this to city mistress now." Captain Lia spoke abruptly.
"Understood." Her subordinates responded in unison.
Captain Lia immediately walked out of the cave and headed to the city guard headquarters.
----
City Guard Headquarters, Front Yard.
"City mistress, do you know where Ace is?" Captain Noah, who was standing in front of Scarlett, inquired.
Instead of answering his question, she asked, "Why are you looking for him?"
"I want to ask him for help." Captain Noah gave an honest answer. "I want him to protect the residents who are tasked with collecting wood in the forest."
Scarlett shifted her gaze from Captain Noah to Colonel Louie. "Colonel Louie, help Captain Noah protect the citizens."
"Understood." Colonel Louie responded.
Right after Colonel Louie and Captain Noah left, Captain Lia arrived.
"City mistress, we found an underground cave." Captain Lia uttered.
"Underground cave?" even though Scarlett was startled, she did not show it on her pretty face.
"This underground cave doesn't look like an ordinary one." Captain Lia began to explain the cave in detail. "There is also a huge pool in this cave. The water in the pool has many colors, like a rainbow."
"Underground cave, pool, and water with many colors like a rainbow?" Scarlett immediately rose to her feet. "Bring me to that cave now."
"Understood." Captain Lia responded.
On their way to the underground cave, they met Ace and Evelyn.
"Where are you going?" Ace asked curiously.
"Captain Lia found an underground cave." Scarlett responded, "The pool in the cave has colorful water. I want to check it now."
"Underground cave? Pool with colorful water?" Ace looked at Evelyn. "Let's check it too."
"Un." Evelyn nodded her head.
They immediately headed to the Zait District together.
"City mistress…"
"City mistress…"
"City mistress…"
Scarlett's subordinates greeted her when they saw her.
Scarlett only nodded her head and kept walking.
Ace, who was on Scarlett's right side, skimmed his surroundings.
'This underground cave is so amazing.'
He had seen many caves before, but this one was the most amazing cave he had ever seen in his two lives.
'I did not expect such a beautiful place to be hidden underground.'
He felt like he was in another world when he was in the cave.
"City mistress, that is the pool I mentioned before." Captain Lia said as she pointed her right index finger at the pool in front of them.
They stopped their footsteps and looked at the pool.
'What a beautiful pool!'
Not only was the water colorful, but even the stones around the pool were also colorful, like a rainbow.
It was as if someone had carefully and diligently painted all the stones around the pool.
As Scarlett and the others were checking the pool, the red-haired man slipped and fell onto a sharp rock, injuring his left arm.
"Haha."
"What are you doing?"
"Are you trying to catch a frog?"
Some of the guards teased him for falling to the ground.
"Shut up!" the red-haired man shouted.
'My luck is bad today.'
He cleaned the wound with colorful water because there was dirt in his wound.
To his surprise, his wound slowly healed when he cleaned it with colorful water.
'What?'
He widened his eyes in surprise.
"City mistress, city mistress…" the red-haired man rushed toward Scarlett.
Scarlett and the others looked at the red-haired man.
"This water is not ordinary water." The red-haired man uttered, "It can heal wounds. My wound healed after I cleaned it with this colorful water."
"Is that true?" Scarlett inquired.
One by one, Scarlett's subordinates walked closer to the red-haired man.
"I'm not lying. I will prove it now." after saying that, the red-haired man sliced his left palm.
*Drip…
Blood came out of his wound.
"I will pour this colorful water on my wound now." the red-haired man kept his left palm open because, with this, they could see it.
When the colorful water fell on his left palm, the blood stopped coming out of his wound.
Not only that, but his wound slowly healed.
"He is not lying!"
"This colorful water can really heal wounds."
"What an amazing water!"
They finally believed that he was not lying to them.
The city guard, with a burn scar on his left hand, immediately took the colorful water and poured it out.
"City mistress, this water can also heal my burn scars." he said as he showed his left hand.
Scarlett and the others looked at him.
"Scarlett, don't tell me…" Ace suddenly suspected that this pool was what Dezmavas wanted.
"Yes. I'm sure this pool is the reason why Dezmavas attacked us." Scarlett also had the same thoughts as him.
Ace shifted his gaze from Scarlett to the pool.
'It's a pity that my system is in sleep mode. Otherwise, I can scan this pool and find out the other virtues of this water.'
He said in his head.
"Let's find out the other benefits of this colorful water." Scarlett uttered.
"Understood." Her subordinates responded in unison.
