Blinding my eyes, ears, and thinking, I longed for that power, for that magic. I can no longer reveal anything to you about the various experiences that have followed, but please believe again that this was never my intention... To this day, all I can tell you is a lot of pain and regret. Their target is our family's greatest treasure, but I will never give it to anyone. Now the only one I can trust is you, so I can only entrust it to you for safekeeping. As a reward, this potion is a trophy I got from a thrilling and near-death adventure. I haven't been able to find a description of it in any records, but I believe it is definitely worth your money. After seven days... If there is no letter from me after seven days, or I do not show up to retrieve the treasure, please give it to Lord Echiborn of Artificer's Hand, and he will know everything. Finally, although I no longer have that qualification, please listen to my advice as a friend. Don't believe them! Any words they say are unrealistic lies! The truth in their mouths is definitely not the truth for you and me! What they are plotting is definitely not everything you and I can imagine! And... beware High Prism Tower. Sender: Black-headed Kite] "Cavendish?" Li Wen muttered to herself. She seemed to be involved in some incredible conspiracy. Chapter 167: Choose Li Wen's impression of Cavendish still comes from his previous life. This is a family with a long history. It has been famous even before Kingdom of Arthur was established. Even if Kingdom of Arthur can be established, they are actually behind the scenes. After all, one of the seven magicians who followed the king, the original Seven Sages of the kingdom, was Exon Cavendish from the Cavendish family. Since then, Exon Cavendish has been granted the title of hereditary Duke, and the image of a stag entwined with thorns has become Cavendish's unchanging family emblem to this day, and the territory he was granted is Birch Territory. In her previous life, Li Wen had the honor to accompany the mages in the tower to visit the Duke's mansion when she was an apprentice at High Prism Tower. At that time, players had not yet fully arrived in this world. Li Wen still only regarded all of this as an epoch-making game. She was not interested in the game and only went online once a week to check in as a routine. Even so, Li Wen still received the invitation, or in other words, all the mages and apprentices of High Prism Tower were invited to attend the funeral of William Cavendish, the Duke of Cavendish's generation. Li Wen has almost forgotten the specific details. After all, she only regarded it as part of the game at that time, just like other players thought of it. Looking at it now, the deceased Duke is the sick person mentioned in this letter, so the person who wrote this letter is naturally the heir of Duke Cavendish, and is probably the heir to the title. "Judging from the fact that the writer does not know the function of the potion, a large part of what the other party said should be true. The medicine that can save all diseases is in his own hands, but he still chooses to seek help from strangers with unknown intentions..." Li Wen felt the subtle irony in this. This may be a prank of fate. Logically speaking, in Arthur, a country full of Radiant Churches beliefs, it shouldn't be difficult for a family like Cavendish, with its wealth and connections accumulated over the years, to ask a Radiance archbishop to come over to disperse or bless it. Or, in other words, even a Path of Sacrifice transcendent in stage six is powerless against the mysterious disease? And this is undoubtedly a premeditated action, and the purpose is extremely clear. Although it is not known where Duke William's illness came from, it is obviously related to the mysterious magician who came to help. Why can the person who wrote the letter turn a blind eye to such an obvious problem? The content of this letter is extremely true, but it is also full of various inconsistencies. If it were not for the legendary grade potion in hand, Li Wen would have thought it was a fishing trap. It's impossible for anyone to use legendary potions to create nests. "The Wandering Soul Walker I met earlier should be someone from the same camp as the mysterious magician. He may have followed the clues to rob him. In this way, it is not surprising that Stage Three, the extraordinary person with the damage-repairing pedigree, appeared there. The thing was not handed over, or it was the owner of the letter. The wrong payment was made, or the seven-day time limit has not yet expired... The life or death of the owner of the letter is uncertain, but since he has been found, there is a high probability that he has been in trouble..." Li Wen While thinking, his slender fingers grasped the hair in front of his forehead and twisted it, and the expression on his face gradually became impatient. She could stay in place quietly for days and nights to complete complex rituals or magic circles, or she could quickly and decisively kill the enemy when confirming the enemy's situation. But if it involved such a conspiracy, she could only say that it was better to leave it to someone who was good at it. What's more, this matter seems to involve High Prism Tower. That was the place where Li Wen first came into contact with extraordinary power. The ritual knowledge she learned from there is still helping her to this day. If it is not necessary, she is not very willing to believe that High Prism Tower will participate in the incident of obtaining the treasure of another family. Or, does that make sense? What level of treasure is worthy of a magician who always advocates truth and knowledge? Thinking this way, the girl turned her attention to the last item, the black box sealed with cipher text. Now there are two choices before her: one is to keep the thing secret. After all, it is something she obtained by her own ability. Even if she does nothing, the thing will be taken away by the evil forces behind the scenes. Whether it is Cavendish's family treasure or the legendary potion that can bring the dead back to life, they are exciting enough. As for moral principles? Players have no such thing. Not to mention that Li Wen is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the world. When she loses her status as a player in the future, one more bottle of legendary potion may give her an additional original book. Even if she doesn't use Cavendish's treasure, she can trade it for resources in exchange for more help. There is simply no reason to say no. As for the second option, of course it is to hand the item to Artificer's Hand Society, and then hide the merit and fame. The only advantage is that any troubles after that will have nothing to do with her. "The Truth Society." Li Wen thought about where the mysterious magician and Wandering Soul Walker came from. It was hard for her to imagine. Controlling the unique magic and knowledge in the world, he has great ambitions to promote the truth, and his methods of deception are endless. The only one who can connect these elements is the Truth Society. And just yesterday, the Truth Society openly attacked Circle of White Birds Society. Not long after, Li Wen met Wandering Soul Walker in that Tavern. The reason why the other party was injured may be because she was a direct participant in the attack. "Then, why didn't the Truth Society send a more powerful transcendent here? Unless they didn't know the situation of the Cavendish Treasure at all. They only knew the existence of the letter and didn't know its content. That guy was actually sent to silence and end it. They were afraid that some secrets would be made public." What secret could it be... High Prism Tower colluded with the Truth Society? Although this situation has a bad impact, to be honest, it is not a big problem. After all, it is not like Radiance Church is colluding with the dark heresy. The superior mages never care about this. Li Wen shook his head, knowing that there would be no gain if he continued digging deeper, so he immediately returned his mind to those two options. After a while, she sighed. In fact, when the second option appeared in her mind, it seemed to have already explained what choice she should make. "But before that, at least let me see with my own eyes the true appearance of this so-called Cavendish family treasure." In case the treasure is actually the original canon, or a clue related to the original canon,
