Chapter 491: Turning Point

After giving instructions to Wojin, Ethan wanted to have a chat with Leon, but he did not dare to go to the Duke's Mansion, so he could only send someone to invite Leon.

Originally it was very impolite for a marquis to call a duke, and Ethan thought there might be some twists and turns.

But what he didn't expect was that Leon came soon and brought the two Seven Sins artifacts he owned.

Ethan knew very well that when he invited someone, he didn't tell them anything about the Seven Sins Artifact.

But looking at the opponent's posture, it became clear that Leon himself must have guessed something.

However, Ethan still pretended not to understand and asked: "My dear Lord Duke, you are so armed that I am afraid."

Leon smiled bitterly, and then without saying a word, placed the [Scythe of Exploitation] and [Hand of Indifference] on Ethan's table.

"I suddenly feel that it is better to leave these two things to you for safekeeping."

"Why should I keep it?"

Leon didn't know whether Ethan knew the truth, but he decided to speak as if Ethan knew the truth.

"Let me tell you the truth! I just got the news that the King of Knights is dead and his [Killing Sword] is missing.

Also, the previous Prince of Beirut’s [Dagger of Betrayal] and Holy Light Pope’s [Eye of Discrimination] are gone.

I have reason to believe that someone is working on the Seven Sins Artifact.

In fact, they have already done so.

A few days ago, one of my uncles asked me to chat alone, and then suddenly became violent and wanted to kill me.

If it weren't for this person...

You know my experience. I have never been able to trust anyone, even my closest relatives, so I have to be cautious, otherwise I would probably have gone to heaven by now.

I never understood why my uncle suddenly went crazy, but now it's clear.

I think you should understand what I mean.

You have also seen the opponent's methods. I escaped with my life by chance, but I feel that I may not be able to protect these two artifacts, so I want to give them to you.

Of course, if you are also afraid of something happening, I will throw these two things into the sea. "

After hearing this, Ethan looked solemn.

"Wouldn't it be better if you just put them in the underground corridor."

"From what you're saying, you don't want it either!"

As soon as Leon heard this, he already understood what Ethan was thinking.

But, just kidding, how could he put these two things in the underground corridor.

Those people who could control one of his uncles could control others.

If there is no way to solve it, maybe these two artifacts are safe, but the Stann family will probably die.

In this case, what's the point of guarding these two artifacts?

"Since you don't want to, I will throw them into the sea later. As for whether those people will find it, or what they are going to do with the artifact, I don't know, and I don't want to care!"

Ethan started to have a headache after hearing this.

He didn't dare to ask for these two things for fear of getting into trouble.

However, this conversation with Leon made him notice details that he had never noticed before.

That is, the sage from the Borgia family, Princess Fiona, and Leon's uncle. Are these people willing to become the helpers of the sage in the North? Or is it that he is mentally controlled by that sage?

If it's the latter, how does the other party control it?

If we can understand this, we can take precautions in advance and even find ways to crack it.

Of course, now is not the time to think about this. Leon is about to throw the artifact into the sea now.

It would be better if this thing was thrown into the sea and no one could find it. If those people could find it, it would be the same as giving it to them for free.

Now those people have obtained 5 artifacts, and only these two are missing.

If it were to be given away, they would definitely have to hold some kind of blessing ceremony.

Hey... these people really do whatever it takes to live forever. Ethan sighed inwardly.

In the end, he decided not to care. If they wanted to live forever, let them live forever. Just don't hinder him.

Just when Ethan was about to ask Leon to throw the artifact into the sea, there was a "buzz" and a terrifying pressure suddenly struck.

Leon was instantly pressed to the ground, his eyes wide open with a look of disbelief on his face, and his whole body was trembling.

Ethan's whole body glowed with golden light, and his eyes also opened wide.

He was very familiar with this pressure, because it had appeared several times before, and he was overwhelmed every time.

However, although the pressure this time seemed to be several times stronger than the previous times, he was still able to stand safely.

Ethan looked at the sofa behind Leon, and an old man appeared there at some point.

The old man has silver hair, his wrinkled face is written with endless vicissitudes of life, his eyes are full of haggard, and his bare arms are full of scars...

No one knows what this strong man has been through, but judging from his expression and appearance, it is obvious that he is not living a very good life.

The old man stood up slowly, walked slowly to Ethan, grabbed Ethan's hair,

Then... he slammed his forehead into Ethan's forehead...

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, and the golden light in Ethan's ascending posture was shattered to pieces by the impact, and blood splattered on his forehead...

The old man opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to say something, as if he was going to insult something, but there was no sound.

At this time, a breeze blew in from the window behind Ethan.

The wind passed through the old man's body, and then the old man gradually drifted away with the wind like dust.

As soon as the old man disappeared, the blood that Ethan had just been hit with actually flowed back from the ground, like a reverse shot back to Ethan's forehead, and the blood from his head was immediately restored to its original state.

Seeing this scene, Leon got up from the ground in a trance.

"What happened? Who is that old man?"

Ethan did not answer, but stared at the two artifacts on the table in silence.

After a long time, he came to his senses and said, "Put these two things here! I'll keep them! Also, you go back first! I still have things to deal with."

Leon didn't leave, and shouted loudly: "Tell me, who is that person?"

Seeing this, Ethan sighed heavily, sat back in his chair, and slowly said: "You won't believe me even if I tell you!"

"If you don't tell me, how can you believe it?"

"Well... I think he might be my old age...

Hehe... It sounds a bit ridiculous and absurd, but this is what I think.

As for how he crossed the long river of time and came to this point in time, I don't know.

What I know is that he seems to be telling me that these two things cannot be handed over to those people."

After hearing this, Leon was confused.

"How is it possible? How can time travel back across decades?

Let alone decades, even a few days or hours is impossible!

So, don't lie to me, tell me, who is he?"

Ethan spread his hands, helpless: "I've already said it, but you don't believe it!

If it weren't for the safety of the Duke's underground corridor, I still need your help, I don't want to tell you this at all.

However, seeing your current performance, I feel that there is no need to explain to you.

You go back first!

These two things are here!"

Lyon's eyes began to tremble constantly, as if thinking rapidly, he was a little unable to accept the reality at this moment.

Because if what Ethan said was true, it meant that if these two artifacts fell into the hands of those people, some kind of catastrophe would definitely happen in the future.

That catastrophe must be extremely terrifying, even Ethan, who is an ascender, is unable to deal with it.

So, he is back!

At the moment of returning to the turning point, he wanted to change history and prevent that disaster.

Lyon looked at Ethan solemnly, and he wanted to confirm this conjecture one last time.

Seeing Ethan's helpless face, he hesitated for a while and said:

"I'll take it back and put it in the underground corridor!

But please find a way to deal with those people as soon as possible. I don't know how long I can hold on."
