Jason, Delisha, Naya went to a restaurant for a celebratory meal.
But halfway through the meal, a masked person came up to us.
"Excuse me, is there something you need?"
The masked man used Divine Power to create a shield, then removed his mask.
"You are... Bessalie!" Jason looked at the young girl in front of him, but suddenly sensed something was wrong. "No, you're not Bessalie, you are, you are Leopold!"
Jason still remembered the Six-Star Fiend in the team who had always disliked him and thought he was a spy; he hadn't even forgotten his aura.
"You, Leopold, I never thought that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were the most deeply hidden spy! You had the nerve to suspect me back then! And now you dare to disguise yourself as a woman to see me!" Jason disliked this guy very much.
"My real name is Bessalie, the daughter of the previous lord of the Bone Dragon Prefecture," the Highgod, bearing the aura of Leopold and the appearance of Bessalie, said calmly.
There was only one table of people in the restaurant, and the "Leopold" in front of him had made a protective shield beforehand, so his words did not attract the attention of those around him.
Jason finally calmed himself down, had "Bessalie" sit down, and then used telepathy to tell Delisha and Naya about the situation.
Bessalie spoke first, "When the city gate guards reported that someone claiming to be 'from the Infernal Realm ' had entered the city, I suspected it was you."
"So? How did you manage to fool those three Seven Star Fiend, as well as the Bone Dragon Prefecture guards and bandits outside the city?"
Jason had inquired about the situation in Skyfall City. Those three Seven Star Fiend were definitely not on Skyfall City's side, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a passive position.
"They just want someone with the bloodline of the previous Bone Dragon Prefecture Master. I just need to create someone with the bloodline of the previous Bone Dragon Prefecture Palace Master and give them that person. Their vigilance will naturally be lower. Then, I can take advantage of the chaos when another group comes to fight over it and run away."
As for entering Skyfall City, my father once gave me a drop of the Sovereign’s Might, which allowed me to bypass the divine senses of all the Highgod and enter the city.
Jason looked at Bessalie and asked suspiciously, "That ' Bessalie ' who was taken away, is she your daughter?"
"No, I created her by injecting my bloodline into an embryo. Then I just need to let her Refine Divine Spark."
Okay, that makes sense. If it doesn't involve activating bloodline talents, it's not difficult. That "Bessalie" from before did indeed seem like Highgod Refine Divine Spark.
"What if they conduct Soul Search on the fake ' Bessalie '?"
"Generally, Seven Star Fiend can't search the memories of Highgod; they can only control them with their Soul Seed and then interrogate them. I just need to implant the relevant memories into the child after she's born, so that she herself believes she is Bessalie."
Jason took a deep breath. "So, the ' Bessalie ' and ' Sheldon ' from before were both fake?"
"Yes, the real Sheldon was my father's confidant, and he died in battle protecting me as I escaped from Bone Dragon Prefecture."
Delisha had roughly sorted out her thoughts and asked, "Then why are they fighting over you? Your father is dead, and Infernal Realm isn't a system of inheritance where the son inherits the throne."
"Because of the ' Heavenly Waterfall Pearl.' The technique for making the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl Heavenly Waterfall Pearl researched by Uncle Tiboni and my father together. For some reason, this wondrous object was entrusted to Uncle Tiboni for making and selling. He made Overgod Oath that if my father were to die, he would pass on the method of making the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl to the person with the highest line of succession among my father's direct descendants."
"Is the handover complete now?" Jason asked.
"Yes."
"So, after telling me all this, what do you want?"
"I want you to take me away. I'll offer the method for making the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl as my price, and I beg Lord Beirut's protection," Bessalie said sincerely.
"Why don't you just pledge allegiance to the current Bone Dragon Prefecture Lord? He's just the successor; he shouldn't be the murderer of your father."
"No, that's not true, but he killed many of my father's close associates before, and he's notoriously unpredictable. I don't want to stay here," Bessalie said calmly.
As a lord whose main attribute is death, it's normal for him to have a fondness for killing.
Are you sure no one knows you went into town?
"Uncle Tiboni is absolutely loyal to my father, and I am now acting as a maid in his household."
Jason looked at Delisha.
Delisha thought for a moment, "Even if we take you out of the city, the guards will definitely check your identity. Once your bloodline is discovered, it's all over."
Jason nodded.
Bessalie was silent for a moment. "I can destroy my true self!"
Jason, Delisha, Naya exchanged glances, realizing how ruthless the other was—ruthless to others and even more ruthless to themselves.
Jason thought for a moment and said, "You swear Overgod Oath, confirming that what you said before was true, and that you genuinely want to go to the Infernal Realm with me and pledge your loyalty to Lord Beirut."
Jason casually added another layer of protection.
Bessalie firmly swore an oath to the heavens.
"Do you have the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl right now?" Jason asked.
Bessalie nodded and took out a transparent bead about the size of a thumb.
Jason held it in his hand and examined the bead closely; it seemed as if waves were surging within it.
Bessalie added, "Uncle Tiboni will give me another hundred years, after which he will relinquish his position as Lord of Skyfall City. Of course, the truth about the fake Bessalie will also be revealed."
Bessalie looked at Jason indifferently, as if she would destroy her true form once Jason agreed.
Jason put away the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl and, amidst the astonished gazes of those around him, took out a drop of the Light Element Sovereign’s Might.
"Use this drop of Sovereign’s Might to leave."
Bessalie looked at Jason for a few seconds. "It seems Lord Beirut values you highly."
"So-so, so-so."
Exchanging a drop of Sovereign’s Might for a Heavenly Waterfall Pearl is definitely a loss for a high- Highgod. Although the Heavenly Waterfall Pearl can forcibly enhance one's understanding of Water Law, the degree is very weak.
But for Jason, he was confident that he would definitely reach the Prefect-level. If he faced an insurmountable bottleneck, a Heavenly Waterfall Pearl might be more precious than ten drops of the Sovereign’s Might.
Especially with Linley's connection, in the near future, a drop of Sovereign’s Might will be nothing at all.
Jason and his group went over the procedures again, and Jason even asked Naya for her opinion. They felt there shouldn't be any problems.
The protective shield was removed, Bessalie put on her mask, rose, and bowed slightly to Jason: "Lord Jason, the city lord's message has been delivered. In that case, I will return to report."
This was said for the rest of the shop to hear.
Take care.
After Bessalie had walked away, Jason said to Delisha, "Should we say goodbye to Miss Johanna?"
"Of course we have to say goodbye. If we go to the Infernal Realm, we might never see each other again."
Jason looked at Naya: "And you, is there anything you want to do in Skyfall City?"
"If I could, I'd like to buy a Heavenly Waterfall Pearl." Naya sighed, "Alright, never mind. I probably can't afford it now anyway. Those bastards looted all the Nether Stone my father gave me back then."
Jason nodded. "Then, we'll leave tomorrow."
