Chapter 938 Teach One to Fish
With a solemn expression, Archie asked, “What is it?”
“To help him find the Celestial Book.”
Surprised by her answer, Archie was very quiet for a minute.
“Didn't see that coming, did you?”
Archie shook his head.
“According to your description, he’s far from old but with great power. Therefore, he was not supposed
to be interested in immortality. Anyone with sanity could figure out, that the legend is nothing more than
a giant lie.
It worked as a bait that lured those who wish for immortality. In fact, there's no such thing as everlasting
life in this world, and no one had ever found the secret of it. Therefore, he was either joking about
finding the Celestial Book, or the Book itself had other effects rather than a mere Elixir.”
Natalia nodded in agreement.
“I agree. On top of that, it's most likely that he has kept the truth a secret. And I have another wild
guess.”
Archie turned to look at her, “Really? Tell me.”
“I wonder, could it be that he has planned the whole thing himself? When the Celestial Book first
appeared and he asked Felix and Queeny to help him look for it, he actually has another purpose. In
addition to that, those mysterious legends are, in fact, spread out by him.”
Her words caught Archie's attention, making him even more curious.
“So what are his purposes for doing so?”
Natalia grinned, “It's actually pretty simple. He said it himself. There are twelve pieces in total. Only
when you piece them all together will the Celestial Book produce tremendous energy, and the miracle
should happen. Now that he asks Felix to find the rest six pieces, which means he only has five in
hand, six counting the one from Felix.
Over the years, he must have been searching for them himself, but he lost his patience.
He was too eager to find the rest, so he spread out words that the magical elixir did exist. It can bring
the dead to life and make humans immortal. Thereby many people would “help” him look for it.
By then, news about the wonder would have begun to spread. Through sifting, he’ll be able to discern
the credible ones. Sooner or later he will find all the pieces.”
Hearing this, Archie smiled appreciatively. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“That was brilliant. Maybe the five pieces he possesses now were also found in this way. Then why did
he suddenly turn to Felix for help?”
Natalia shook her head.
“I have no idea, but I am pretty sure that he is becoming desperate. His deadline for Felix is four
months, which means he needs the Celestial Book to be complete, in order to do something important
four months from now. But it is absolutely impossible to achieve that goal himself, that's why he turned
to Felix.”
For a moment, Archie lapsed into silence.
“I think you are right on point.”
Natalia giggled, “Of course I am!”
“Well, my Lia has that sparkle.”
She blushed scarlet because of his flirting words.
“Come on! Focus on the matter at hand.”
Archie laughed, “What, I ain't joking around, and I am telling facts.”
Then he wrapped his arm around her shoulder to cuddle.
Natalia leaned on his shoulder, looking up at the stars above, and signed.
“Queeny is such a nice and sweet girl, and nothing bad should ever happen to her. I really hope they
can find this journey helpful.”
But Archie was not optimistic about it.
“You know, even if they had succeeded in getting the meds, it wouldn't make much of a difference,
because they definitely won't give her meds for a lifetime. Once they stop their provision of services,
she would be one foot away from death.”
His words left Natalia with a heavy heart.
She turned to him and asked, “Then what are we supposed to do? They say there's no cure for her
illness at present.”
Archie lowered his eyes and chuckled.
“Indeed, but the meds to alleviate it exists. The Zaccardi Family have lived with the illness for their
whole life, but they're just fine by taking their meds on time. York has lived to sixty years old, and I don’t
think the illness has any side effects on him. I dare to say that he can even make it to 100.
Natalia frowned, “You mean ...”
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Archie signed.
Enlightened by his words, Natalia sat up, “Ah! I see. So all we need is the prescription.”
Archie nodded.
“I'm gonna tell him about this right now.”
She hastily took out her phone, which gave Archie a wry smile.
Her phone being grabbed away, Natalia turned to him, “Why?”
Archie signed, “You silly girl, it isn't the right time! Wouldn't it be much more convenient and negotiable
for us to wait till they’ve actually found anything?”
Natalia’s eyes lit up.
“You're right! Alright, we’ll see about that.”
They talked for a while till it was late, and then they went to bed together.
The next day, the flight that Felix and Queeny were on landed at Eqitin Airport at noon.
Instead of going on their own, Natalia and Archie sent their trusted subordinates, Brian and Nancy, to
the airport, representing themselves.
On the way to Pinewood Manor, Brian started to introduce the passing scenery to Archie and Queeny,
out of concern that they might feel estranged in Ambario.
While Nancy was more acquainted with them, for she had accompanied Natalia and Archie to
Lanceham once.
They were all in the best of spirits, laughing and chatting together.
Soon, the car parked in front of Pinewood Manor.
The four of them got out of the car, while Natalia had already heard the car engine from a distance and
went outside. As anticipated, she saw several figures at the gate.
