Chapter 506 - 207: I Remember...

"Impressive."

Wei’en nodded, watching her thoughtfully. After a few seconds of silence, he didn’t press her about her power. Instead, he asked, "Why were members of the Dusk Sect on the Golden Dis Pirates’ ship?"

He knew Clelia’s personality. When she was ready to talk, she would tell him.

And if she wasn’t... there was nothing he could do.

"According to that ugly captain, the Dusk Sect has apparently formed an alliance with them. They came specifically for you this time."

"Me?"

"Yes,"

As she spoke, Clelia’s expression changed. She put on a pitiful look and said, "If you hadn’t done such awful things to them back on Dakman Island, they never would have targeted us... And poor little me got so badly hurt because of it..."

Wei’en: "..."

He glanced at the tear in Clelia’s clothes. The skin underneath was smooth and fair, without the slightest trace of an injury...

"If I hadn’t suddenly remembered how to break the seal and get stronger, I’m afraid you would never have seen me again~"

"’Seal?’" Wei’en was taken aback. ’So that’s why she suddenly got stronger?’

Clelia hummed in agreement, then sighed softly. "Let’s talk about it after we get back to the theater. It’s not something I can explain in just a few words."

"Alright."

’As long as she’s willing to talk, that’s all that matters.’ Wei’en didn’t want any seeds of doubt about her to take root.

Before long, Ronan returned from the Golden Orchid with his men. He looked slightly embarrassed as he said, "Sorry, Captain, First Officer. There wasn’t much on that ship, we only found a few hundred gold pounds..."

"Mm." Wei’en nodded, unconcerned. "Go ahead and split it. Let’s set sail as soon as possible."

"Understood. I’ll go make the arrangements."

Wei’en waited a moment longer. Once he was sure there were no other problems, he took Clelia back to the theater space, bringing the few Twilight Secret Cultivators with them.

After the recent incident, Clelia was worried there might be other enemies who had escaped, so she figured it was best to bring them back to the theater space for a more thorough inspection.

"...Rexi, Wei’en, you’re back?"

The three women on the stage, who were sitting at a dining table, all stood up when they saw the figures suddenly appear.

Pavla curiously sized up the strange figures wrapped in strips of cloth. A flicker of confusion crossed her face. ’Have I seen them somewhere before?’

"Mm, you can carry on. Clelia and I have something to take care of."

Wei’en noticed the parchments in front of the three women. ’I didn’t expect that even Pavla, who already has some education, would join Tina and Shawa in studying the Gonzalez language when she has nothing better to do...’

But this wasn’t the time to worry about that. He led Clelia and the Twilight Secret Cultivators to a workshop on the other side of the stage.

"So, can you tell me now?"

"Mm." Clelia waved a hand, gesturing for the Twilight Secret Cultivators to squat in a corner. She then leaned back in her chair, a trace of exhaustion on her face. "Actually, I don’t have many memories of the seal..."

"Er..."

Wei’en folded his arms and gave her a suspicious look. "Are you sure?"

"It’s true. I’ve known for a long time that there was a seal on my very essence."

Clelia’s tone was calm. "But when I was fighting them, a voice suddenly popped into my head... It told me that if I didn’t want to die, I had to break the seal."

"But after I broke that seal, I realized it wasn’t the only one on my essence. There were several layers of seal-like things..."

"’Several layers?’" Wei’en frowned slightly. "You mean you didn’t break all the seals this time?"

"Mm," Clelia nodded, continuing, "After I broke the first seal, the marks of the other seals suddenly vanished. Then my body was filled with a great deal of power, and I recovered some of my memories."

"Memories? What kind of memories?"

"I remembered that I didn’t get that tome—the Era Relic—from the Eternal Life Association..."
