Chapter 162 Past Rights and Wrongs·The Beginning of Escape and the Truth of the Past (Part )
  "This is…?"

Qiaoceline stared blankly at the two things lying quietly in the box, falling into a wave of indescribable complex emotions.

"what happened?"

Sensing something strange about his friend, Rigel, who was guarding the door, turned around and expressed concern.

"It's nothing, Rigel," Qiaoceline responded calmly, paused, and then added uneasily, "I may need to spend some time looking at what my father left for me, so, okay Could you please help me keep an eye on the situation nearby?"

"of course can!"

Rigel agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, Rigel."

After simply thanking her, Qiaocelin immediately found a corner far away from the door and sat down. With a complicated mood, she spread out the folded pieces of letter paper and started reading them in order...

my dear daughter,

First of all, I'm glad you took a break from those hateful hounds to come here and find what's left of me. Next, I will tell you the biggest secret our family has hidden for hundreds of years and the reason why you are being hunted. I hope you can read it patiently.

I clearly remember that when you were only 7 years old, you once asked me why our family has never been famous in the entire Olivia continent, even though our family has produced so many powerful great magisters. My answer at that time was that the foundation of our family was not stable enough, and we needed to use more pragmatic political prestige and necessary financial resources to solidify this foundation step by step. But actually, this is not the real reason.

As for the real reason, it should not be difficult for you to guess based on your experience today. Yes, that's right, our entire family's rise and prosperity are all dishonorable. Our ancestors have traded their lives with evil spirits for generations.

Don't be surprised and don't be impulsive. After all, impulsiveness solves nothing. So, when you see this, please remember to stay calm and don't get carried away by anger.

If you have calmed down, please continue reading.

As for this evil spirit that made a deal with our family, I think you are probably familiar with it. It is called Xiela, and it also has the codename [Kill].

So, how did our family encounter it and interact with it? This matter also starts with the life experience of our ancestor Royce Lifford, the founder of our family.

In the beginning, our ancestor Royce was an inconspicuous ore merchant in the small town of Kangli. He had no family background and average magic talent. In fact, his character in the first half of his life was not strong enough or decisive enough. But even though he was such an ordinary ancestor, he relied on his extremely strong ability to survive and his pure sense of responsibility for his wife and children to penetrate into countless unknown areas and bring considerable wealth to his family. As for Xiela, he met him by chance during an expedition. During that expedition, he and his companions were unfortunately lost in the depths of the forest. Just when they were at a loss for what to do, Xi La appeared. At that time, although our ancestors were somewhat wary of the origin of this mysterious powerful man, Eager to leave here, he finally gave in.

Since then, the life trajectory of our ancestor Royce has changed, from a quasi-senior magician with no hope of promotion to a potential magician with the most potential to be promoted to a magister in the town at that time.

At first, our ancestors were puzzled by this change, but since their living conditions had changed, they did not reject this gift from heaven. So there is a contractual relationship between our family and Sila from generation to generation.

In order for this contract to continue smoothly, our ancestors will take the initiative to bring their promising offspring to a secret room when they are old to perform a secret inheritance ceremony to complete the handover of talent and strength.

If everything went well, this power should have been passed on to you by my father personally after you were successfully promoted to an intermediate magician. But for some reason, my father came to the end of his life earlier than expected, so in a hurry, he had to temporarily transfer that power out of his body and seal it back to the original box that contained that power. The first time you fell into a coma due to depletion of magic power happened.

Of course, if it's just the power itself, you don't have to be afraid. I can even say that our Lifford family will not suffer such a blow, because you can freely choose whether to use this power that goes against common sense. But this is not the case. When I witnessed with my own eyes your cold and murderous side when you did not use this power, I realized that we had all been deceived by Xila, and had been deceived by it for hundreds of years. The power it represents is not a gift at all, but a curse! It gave the ancestor part of its power not at all to repay the ancestor for saving it, but to use our family's inheritance from generation to generation to cultivate a human-shaped container that can contain all its power!

In fact, I can tell Lord Hobert or Lord Maxwell the whole thing, but I can't guarantee how they will treat you after they know the whole story. I have already lost your mother because of a wrong choice, and I can no longer push you off the cliff because of my own wrong choice.

It's a pity that Bertram Maxwell still followed the incident on Blue Crystal Street and found you. Of course, I can guarantee that at that time, he was not actually sure that you were also exposed to forbidden magic, otherwise he would not have let Mrs. Fiana approach you in an extremely covert manner.

I thought that after that, they would contact the Hobert family immediately and take action, but to my surprise, instead of telling others about your abnormality, they took the initiative to find me the next day. , and asked me about my views on forbidden magic.

I knew that Bertram was indirectly giving me room to turn around, but at that time, I was afraid of facing the worst outcome and did not seize this opportunity to tell everything. As a result, the whole thing got worse and worse, and there was no room for turning around...

So, I'm sorry, Jocelyn, forgive me, forgive me for not having the courage to talk to you about this until I was about to face death.

Next, I will slowly arrange everything, the entire Lifford family, and I will let it quietly withdraw from the social stage of Undine City. As for you, I will find a time to contact Elliot and ask him to take you out of Undine City and go to the Southern District of the Earth to start a new life.

As for Xila, I have used some special means to suppress it. Therefore, as long as you don't try to use its power and are not bewitched by its words, then with its current level of awakening, it cannot pose a threat to you.

Finally, I wish you all the best!
  Your cowardly father,

Hivit Lifford
