"You're really just guessing?"

"Well... Indeed, since we have a wide range of information channels and more clues than you think, it is not that difficult to deduce." The crow shrugged and said indifferently, "But at most it will be just a rough framework, with no specific content, such as how they came about, how you stopped the war, what are the reasons for doing this, but I guess..."

"Yeah, cough."

"Thank you, my dear, he is planning to trick me into revealing more information." The Countess smiled gratefully to Earl Glen and said softly, "But it doesn't matter. For the descendants of the Sea God, some secrets do not need to be kept at all. Haha, if the woman could tell me her identity ten years ago, she would not have a fight between us. It was because she said nothing that led to the resentment of the past ten years. Lana, you claim to see through the future, but you didn't expect this result."

Master Lana lit the cigarette made of herbs again, sucking the light blue smoke, and his head swayed gently, and no one could understand her inner state.

"Is there some secrets that don't need to be kept?" Lana did not respond. The one responded was the crow, "I thought..."

"You don't have to think of anything. I admit that your scams and words are indeed difficult to guard against, but what you cheat in this way is uncontrollable. Sometimes the truth you get is impossible to bear." The Countess lowered her face and said in a stern tone, "Don't talk about you, even that woman can't bear it. Once you know those secrets, you will inevitably suffer a catastrophe, and death is the best result."

"Oh?" The crow pushed his glasses, and the sunlight reflected from the lens flashed by, "Explain it."

"Long Jiu is the sea god you mentioned. He is a genius who is rare in a thousand years. He has strong strength, rich experience, quick thinking, and firm mind. He has almost all the elements of success. Normally, people like him will inevitably create countless great achievements and leave deep footprints in history. However, he has set his sights on those secrets that should not be touched by the world. With his extraordinary abilities, he has really seen a part of it, and as time goes by, he has learned more and more."

"Isn't it very good?" said the crow thoughtfully, "this is his purpose."

"Do you think he wants to know?"

"Hmm? What does it mean?"

"It was indeed his own idea at first. Oh, exploring unknown secrets is his pursuit, but after he really came into contact with those secrets, he realized that it was not something that an ordinary human should know. We never thought that people like him would be afraid." The Countess's eyes lost focus and fell into distant memories. "Those secrets made him feel scared, and even fell into self-denial for a while. He mentioned to us several times that he wanted to stop, but he didn't want to continue digging. He would rather return to a state of ignorance and live his life in a daze like an ordinary person."

"But he didn't give up in the end." The crow frowned, "and continued."

"Yes, continue, want to give up? Hahaha, how easy is it. Those secrets are like a curse. Once they are touched, they can never be shaken off. They will lurk in your consciousness, and they will constantly chew on your reason every day. Once you want to give up, no one will force you to continue exploring, but your curiosity and the so-called sense of mission will force you to think about these things all the time, and it will be like this, causing you torture until one day, you can no longer bear it, and have to look back and devote yourself to the exploration of these secrets again, so that you can be free from endless torture."

The expressions of Crow and Rose were a little stiff. Both of them were strong people with firm hearts. They were not idiots who believed whatever others said, nor were they scared by others' words. But at this moment, both of them had a creepy feeling in their hearts.

Long Jiu did not understand the same person as the Countess, and could not empathize with him like the Countess. However, the Countess's gloomy description reminded them of Lily at the same time.

In Lily's last few years, as the countess described, she was crazy about traveling around the world, and even her favorite rose was thrown in the blood alley by her, tired, haggard, and exhausted, but Lily still insisted on continuing, without giving herself some rest. Even in the end, she knew that she might die and refused to give up temporarily.

Moreover, her last expression was not about dying despair. Her smile still frozen on the corners of her cold lips. It was a smile that could not be understood by normal people. Maybe it was self-deprecating, but more of it was more like relief after relief.

Crow and Rose have never understood why Lily did this, and they couldn't understand her last moment thoughts. Because of this, after hearing the Countess' words, the two of them felt a throbbing in their hearts, and they felt the throbbing of empathy.

Because just a few minutes ago, the two of them had not even touched the real secret, but had just peeked into a corner of the secret. When they knew that they had the opportunity to come into contact with the truth, they were already in an indescribable excitement. The excitement felt like the most effective drug. It only took a little bit to make people like them feel extremely happy, so they could not extricate themselves from being addicted to it.

"Huh, curse, curse, in a sense, is indeed a curse that cannot be escaped." The creepy palpitations of the crow were like a cold hand, tightly grasping the crow's heart. The cold touch penetrated from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, causing a certain gland to twitch, and his breathing became much heavier. The crow felt his heart beating very fast, and he could hear it, the rose's heartbeat was also rapid. The two looked at each other, and in the eyes of the female leopard, she showed an expression of enjoyment at the same time. The crow licked her lips and said with a low smile, "I know that once she knew those secrets, she would be on her back, and even bring misfortune and death, but she was uncontrollable to dig them, just like a moth that was flying into the fire, and she didn't know how to retreat even if she knew she was dead."

"You are indeed a group of hopeless madmen." The Countess sighed and smiled bitterly, "Since you insist on dying, ask what you want to know, I will selectively tell you the information I know. But I actually know very little about the most core secret. At that time, in order to protect me, Long Jiu didn't say much, and I want to remind you, absolutely, absolutely, don't try to put out something that I don't plan to say, because some things cannot be said at will. Once they are said, no one knows what consequences will be."

Unexpectedly, Master Lana, who had been in a trance, nodded, not knowing whether she was expressing her agreement or still immersed in an unknown spiritual world.

"This is the second time we have heard this." Crow and Rose met and smiled bitterly. "If it weren't for knowing that it was impossible, I would have suspected that you had agreed."
