Chapter 25 Thresh’s Identity

Josh asked Lunessia to make sure that there were no ghosts around, and then took Ritz back to his mansion.

Sitting on the stone chair in the living room, Ryze still hadn't recovered from his emotions. He was frightened by what he had just done, and his body was trembling slightly visible to the naked eye.

Qiao, who was still preparing hot tea in the restaurant, turned to the silent Ritz, and then turned his attention to the classics placed on the round table.

That book is very similar to the secret book that Ryze carried with him in later generations.

You obviously came to me a few days ago and took away the notes about arcane runes. Where did this book come from?

And the water of life...

Thinking of this, Josh felt a little heavier.

At this time, Lunessia spoke: [The book has an arcane aura left on it, it is a magic secret book.]

"I feel it."

What Josh is most worried about is not the book, but what Ritz calls the "curse of the water of life."

Josh...is he really not possessed by the darkin weapon?

Ryze's eyes quickly passed over Josh's chest, where he saw the terrifying scarlet knife-shaped pendant.

Water of Life, Thresh...

Hearing the footsteps echoing in the room, Ryze was like a frightened bird. He suddenly raised his face full of panic and looked at the source of the footsteps.

The safest place on the entire island, apart from the ancient forest area where the spiritual god Maokai is located, is the heart of Hylia - the Shining Light Tower.

Josh's eyes lit up, and the identity of the person he was looking for had already surfaced.

In the end, Ryze sighed and muttered: "I made a deal with a Thresh."

"Relax, don't be surprised, you are already safe."

You know the secret of the other party, and the other party also has the handle on you...

Even if he is not controlled by the Dark One, he is definitely not the Josh Russell I know.

Ryze nodded and sighed, "Yes, that guy's name is Erlock Greer. He claims to have been Tyrus's sect, and his talent surpassed Tyrus. However, because of his origin and status, everything was stolen by Tyrus, which resulted in

He was thrown into Thresh Prison and left to die underground.

"So I plan to sneak into Thresh Prison's warehouse to look for it myself..."

"I said I was extremely talented and was a rune mage, but Tyrus didn't teach me anything and I wanted to resist him, so Greer said he would make a deal with me.

Through Ryze's description, combined with the previous statement from Sentinel leader Zenda Kaya, Josh can now confirm that the "Soullock Warden Thresh" he knows is actually just a job title.

"Through the ventilation ducts in the Underground Thresh Prison."

[If you had listened to me and killed those guys, the ghosts who stayed in the world because of the water of life, I would have helped you deal with it, and this island would have been under your control. 】

[What a classic opening statement. Every time we encounter various troubles, it always stems from the mistakes made by some smart guy.] Lunessia spoke sarcastically in a stern voice.

Inspector Thresh...

His thoughts returned to reality. Josh observed Ritz's tangled expression and knew that he still had secrets that he had not revealed. He deliberately snorted: "If you don't trust me, why do you come to me tonight? You should go back and deal with those ghosts on your own."

Bar."

"I saved your life, Riz." Josh's voice was still calm, "I was implicated by you for no reason, but you are not even willing to tell me the cause and outcome of the matter?"

"The Shuoguang Tower should be the only way to the Wanzai Well, right? How did you get in?"

Ryze just lowered his head, his slightly absent-minded eyes staring blankly at a certain gap on the marble floor.

What's more, even the classics that introduce the entire city of Hylia have no record of Thresh.

[You are willing to obey those superiors who are obsessed with the illusion of power. Even if I tell you about this matter, will you take action on it? 】

"We find him and kill him."

Riz raised his head suddenly, with an expression of disbelief and horror, "You, how did you..."

With random thoughts in his mind, Riz was silent for half a minute, and then he opened his mouth under Josh's gaze, and the expression on his face turned bitter.

"Kill, kill, kill, you know killing, you don't understand at all!"

It is not only the origin of life on the entire Fuguang Island, but also the holy mist that surrounds and protects the island.

Ryze always thought that the water of life on Blessed Light Island was just a fairy tale told to children, but for some reason it became more and more evil, and to the outside world it became a magical spring that could heal all injuries and diseases.

Before he finished speaking, Josh raised his hand to interrupt Ritz, his stern eyes glowing scarlet under the light.

Josh gave Ritz enough time to think about it, and more than a minute passed before he exhaled heavily and said slowly: "I made a big mistake."

The amber vertical pupils on the pendant seemed to move, and Ryze couldn't help but shudder.

When he thought of the different white ghosts in the white mist of Wanzaijing Hall, Ryze couldn't help but feel his breath stagnate.

Ritz was startled by Josh who was inexplicably excited and annoyed. He shrank his neck and asked cautiously: "Why are you..."

If he is not careful, he may be exposed by Greer and "die together".

Apart from the reason why Thresh monitors the sealing of dangerous magic artifacts, another reason is probably that Thresh's status is too humble and does not deserve to be recorded.

[Interesting, what an interesting story! The self-proclaimed noble people of Fuguang Island actually fought for power and monopolized academics and ruined the future of their colleagues! Hahaha...]

He raised his chin and gestured to the magic books on the table.

Hearing Ritz talk about a new vocabulary word, Josh rubbed his chin, which had a layer of sparse stubble, and nodded thoughtfully, "As expected."

Josh was a little annoyed and ignored Lunessia. He turned to glare at Ryze fiercely, "Where is Erlock Greer?"

He choked after just one word, as if he was still hesitating whether to continue.

"What we secretly conspired to find is this secret book of runes, but you didn't find it. You were also influenced by the dark descendants and lost your memory. You only found incomplete records.

"Then why didn't you remind me?"

Josh communicated mentally with Lunessia, "When I first went to Hylia, you noticed something abnormal underground."

"That's just Greer's one-sided statement... Also, you have known about this for a long time, right?"

Josh handed the porcelain cup that was not too hot to the touch. He stared at the steaming hot tea with ripples on the surface and hesitated for a moment, then licked his lips.

[I am an ascended person who has mastered the power of death. I am particularly sensitive to the aura of death, so I naturally know the secret of the water of life.] Lunessia said proudly.

However, until that day when Greer took him to the Well of Ten Thousand Times, Ryze opened the first lock with the keystone he found from nowhere, and then used his talent to unlock the second complex and sophisticated rune lock, leading to the Well of Ten Thousand Times.

The door of the well slowly opened.

The water of life is the most important thing. Since it needs to be developed and researched, the leaders of Hylia will definitely hide it in the most rigorous place.

[So, this is the result of the path you have chosen. You still need to deal with the troubles for your reckless junior brother, otherwise you will be implicated by him.] Lunessia's tone was cold.

He muttered to himself absently, "Everything is the water of life. It is not a legend, it is real... That spring is buried under the Shuoguang Tower, the Wanzai Well."

Clenching his teeth, a few traces of blood seeped out from his chapped lips, and he licked it into his mouth. The rusty smell in his mouth overlapped with his throat, and a little tea could not dispel the strange smell.

"But you were caught by Thresh." Josh added.

Ryze, on the other hand, was hesitating whether he should reveal his deal with Erok Greer, the warden of Thresh.

"You want to ask me how I know?"

Josh and Riz frowned at the same time, but they were thinking about completely different things.

"I……"

He spoke concisely and to the point. Ryze raised his eyes and looked at Josh. Being stared at by his calm eyes that turned into crimson at some point, he suddenly felt full of pressure and nervousness.

In this case, it would be much more difficult to find a certain "Thresh" who would be one of the culprits of betraying Hylia and leading Foego to the Fountain of Life and the Ruined Curse.

"Have you found the water of life?"

Then, Josh moved a heavy marble chair and sat across from Ritz. He crossed his arms across his chest and leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and said, "Let's talk."

You know, even when he was a mercenary in Belgun in Shurima, Ryze was never so nervous when faced with those bandits who were rampant in the desert and killed more people than they drank.

When the water in the tea stove boiled, Josh poured a cup of hot tea for Ritz and walked straight towards him.

How long have I traveled through time? I don’t even fully understand the situation on Blessed Light Island, how should I act?!

Josh was speechless for a moment, "You have been sealed for five hundred years. Don't you know how to be patient in order to get what you want?"

Taking it and holding it in the palm of his hand, Ruiz blew into the mouth of the cup and sipped water to moisten his thirsty and sore throat that was filled with the smell of rust due to running all the way. He lowered his eyes again.

Josh curled his lips and rolled his eyes, "Please, didn't you say that when I saved your life? Those ghosts are curses from the water of life. I can hear it clearly."

Ryze realized that he had indeed mentioned it, and was speechless for a moment, "Yes, yes, the curse of the water of life."

"He will not report me, and will give me the rune secret book I want, and I need to sneak into the forbidden place, which is the Wanzai Well, to get the water of life he wants..."
