The sixty Harpy captives had been split up into pairs and put into thirty different cells The Zhu Clan didn’t have that many jail cells, and they had repurposed a few other locations in order to get enough space
Jade Brilliance’s cellmate was an older Harpy
The older Harpy was quite ancient He stammered when he spoke, and his mind was muddled, so Jade Brilliance didn’t like hi voice to the delusions that he believed in
He always talked about hoas a fareat status and that he had run into some kind of fortuitous encounter The only reason he had been captured by the humans was because he had accidentally run into the to excavate this treasures, which was how he had gotten locked up
Jade Brilliance felt like he was going to go crazy if he paid any attention to the old nored the old Harpy
However, the jail cell was only so big There was only sothe truth It’s right near Black River Valley An Astral left behind a precious treasure there That place is full of riches and resources, as well as precious Arcana Techniques I a you this because you have taken care of me a few times Remember, find the three-headed Medusa in that broken-down shrine and choose the head on the right side, and you will be able to open the pathway to those riches……” the old man muttered
“Medusas don’t have three heads,” Jade Brilliance said
“That’s why it works well as a secretdelusional,” Jade Brilliance sighed
The old man was a bit dissatisfied, but in the end all he did wassilent
A few uards arrived on the scene

“Get the hell out of my way!” The warden shoved Jade Brilliance aside and left with the old Harpy in tow
Jade Brilliance had watched Halcyon Wing Streak return to his jail cell before, and he knew that the outcoood But all he could do atch the oldhe could do
After roughly an hour, the old man returned
He was clearly on his last breath, having been beaten to within an inch of his life
“Those humans are really a bunch of barbarians!” Jade Brilliance said angrily
“Well, it’s not really strange,” the old man replied “The hu treated like this, right? In the end, it’s all fair”
“You still have the heart to speak on their behalf?” Jade Brilliance didn’t understand
“Heh I’ out the truth,” the old e tone of voice
The way he spoke was a bit unfamiliar to Jade Brilliance Jade Brilliance stared at hi with you?”

Jade Brilliance was stunned “You…… are you serious?”
The old rabbed Jade Brilliance’s hand “I am the clearest about my own condition I auys beat ans ruptured, and since I have no way of using Origin Energy, I will slowly die Perhaps it won’t be long until that happens”
Jade Brilliance was obviously startled when he heard these words
He began to howl to anyone outside the prison “Hey, is there anyone there? He’s about to die! Someone, send a doctor to save hiy!”
No one answered
The other Harpy captives glanced in his direction, their eyes filled with compassion and sorrow
“Don’t waste your ti man Before I die, I have a secret I want to tell you”
Jade Brilliance shook his head “Don’t say any to do with the treasure stash,” the oldhere in Flat Sky City”
“What?” Jade Brilliance was obviously stunned
The oldfor Jade Brilliance to lean in
Then, he gently whispered in Jade Brilliance’s ear, “Listen to round we stand on”
As he gently muttered words into Jade Brilliance’s ears, Jade Brilliance’s eyes grew larger and larger
“Are you…… telling the truth?”
“Absolutely!”
