Chapter 207 Cause
"Are you really the young master of the Caster family?"
Looking at Puto, who had a fried skewer on his left and a drink on his right, Lin Tian couldn't help but show a look of suspicion.
Is this kid trying to trick me?
"Absolutely! It's genuine!"
Gollum~
Puto swallowed the roasted meat in one gulp, then looked at Lin Tian with a determined gaze and said...
"you sure?"
"I'm sure..."
However, faced with Lin Tian's piercing gaze, Puto finally couldn't hold on for long.
Even so, he still didn't budge, so Lin Tian had to change the subject.
"You said before that your father was seriously ill. I just learned some information about the Caster family from other people. How could someone as high-ranking and powerful as him be suffering from illness?"
Faced with Lin Tian's questioning, Puto's eyes flickered even more intensely, and there was even a hint of evasion. But Lin Tian would not let him off so easily. He grabbed Puto's shoulders and turned his gaze towards him.
"You still won't tell the truth?"
"Have you thought this through? We are partners, and you are hiding information from one of your partners."
Lin Tian's eyes were firm. He didn't fight unprepared battles. Since he had decided to take action, he naturally needed to understand the information about the incident. He would let go of any information he couldn't gather, but he would definitely know all the information he could.
"Pshaw... Who would... give their partner drugs like that..."
"What did you say?"
"No, no, no, I'll tell you, okay...?"
Faced with Lin Tian's interrogation, Puto muttered something under his breath. Perhaps it was because Lin Tian's hands were getting tighter and tighter, causing him pain, or perhaps it was because of some kind of danger that made him give in. Puto finally gave in.
Then the group found a hotel and booked a room. Perhaps fearing that the walls might be overheard, Puto tore open a magic scroll. As the light spread, the soundproofing scroll was used up.
"It was about six months ago, maybe seven or eight months ago. At that time, the Freedom Society suddenly rose up. They, who were originally just rats underground, suddenly raised their military flags and chose to openly fight against the Kingdom. This is no secret, after all, information about this matter can be found everywhere now."
Lin Tian nodded. He had also heard about the Freedom Society and the Sand Kingdom. They were ravaging the northern border of the Sand Kingdom under the guise of liberating slaves.
By now, they have conquered most of the northern territory and are continuing to fight against the invading kingdom's army. The reason why Lin Tian's Kurta has not been taken over by the Sand Kingdom is that the Sand Kingdom is unable to take action.
"In the first month of the war, my father was summoned by the royal family to the Sand City, along with many family leaders and important ministers of the kingdom."
"I don't know what happened in between, I wasn't qualified to accompany him, but it must have been something about the war. I only know that after my father came back, his temperament suddenly changed."
"He was fine for the first two days after he came back, but after the third day, he started doing all sorts of strange things, including but not limited to hitting, cursing, smashing, and throwing things. In short, his temper became extremely irritable, sometimes calm and sometimes crazy."
"We consulted many people during this period—sorcerers, magicians, diviners, and even priests from the Holy Lion Kingdom—but their conclusions were all..."
"No illness."
“That’s right. They didn’t see any curse or injury on Father. All that remained was his unpredictable emotions.”
"And so, my father's health deteriorated day by day. We, his children, went out to find ways to save him. I only went there because I heard that Kurta had a miracle cure."
Listening to Puto's description, Lin Tian didn't seem surprised at all, because he had heard the news from elsewhere as well.
Back in the Land of Death, Lin Tian had learned from Entok that the reason they were fighting over the Seaweed Flower was because of the Caster family head.
The Seaweed Flower is a relatively rare herb with many effects, but its most significant effect is its powerful sedative effect, which is why the Eagle Claw Servants and the Free Society members are vying for it.
The reason for the Eagle Claw squire's decision is unknown, but the Freedom Society fears that the head of the Castor family will be thrown into the northern battlefield after recovering.
Although they didn't know if this thing could cure the disease, the opportunity was fleeting, and they would naturally scramble for it when it came along.
However, based on current calculations, given the current condition of the Castor family head, the Seaweed Flower is unlikely to be of much use, and the pills in Lin Tian's possession may also be ineffective.
"Let's go take a look first."
Of course, the real situation still needs to be seen on-site, so after listening to Puto's explanation, Lin Tian decided to go to the site to take a look first.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Lin Tian left the hotel without hesitation. Seeing Lin Tian's actions, Puto hesitated for a moment, but then followed him.
...........
"Is this interesting?"
"what."
Is there any point in hiding this from me?
"I didn't hide it from you!"
In the dimly lit room, Lin Tian held a teacup in his hand, his eyes fixed on Puto, practically writing the words "confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely" on his face.
"Then tell me the hell! Are you really the son of the head of the Castor family?!"
"What are you saying...?"
"What kind of talk is that...?"
"Of course I am... yes."
Faced with Lin Tian's roar, Puto appeared meek and submissive. Having long held a superior position, Lin Tian had cultivated an invisible aura, which, combined with his near-silver-level strength, made Puto not dare to even breathe loudly.
"Didn't I already tell you? I am the young master here. Didn't you see the servants all calling me that...?"
Despite being unable to discern the truth from Puto's stubbornness, Lin Tian was already furious at what he had experienced since arriving here.
Then, as if unable to bear Puto's stubbornness any longer, he threw his teacup away and shouted at the timid Puto:
"Then tell me the hell why I've been sitting here drinking tea for five hours?"
