Chapter 71

Meanwhile, in the economy class cabin, Hailey and Sienna were chatting enthusiastically.

Hailey asked Sienna curiously, “Oliver had never mentioned having a girlfriend when he was working in my store. When did you know each other?”

Sienna blushed and said, “We… It’s only been less than a month since I met him. I met him on a blind date.”

“A blind date?”

Hailey couldn’t comprehend the situation. She questioned, “Oliver is a handsome and remarkable young man, and you, Sienna, are undeniably beautiful. With your charming looks, why would you even consider going on a blind date?”

Sienna explained with a hint of embarrassment, “I work as a police officer and specialize in criminal investigations. Firstly, my demanding job leaves me with little time to focus on my personal life. Secondly, I have a quick temper and tend to resort to physical confrontation if provoked. Thirdly, I replace it hard to have a feeling for an average person. As a result, I didn’t have a boyfriend.”

“Got it!” Hailey nodded in understanding. It was clear to her that Sienna was a carefree tough girl. Coupled with her occupation as a criminal policeman, average people would have a hard time matching her strength and resilience.

Sienna seemed to click with Hailey. She smiled and told her about the story of her blind date, “Oliver’s sister Joanna is my classmate. She asked me about the blind date. My mother happened to hear it, so she forced me to go on this blind date. In

fact…”

Sienna recalled the scene from that day, reminiscing with a smile. “To be honest, I wasn’t initially interested in Oliver. It wasn’t because he wasn’t attractive, but because I had no intention of going on a blind date at all. However, Oliver was different from other men. He didn’t pester me or make me uncomfortable. Instead, he had a pleasant demeanor and engaged in conversation with me over drinks. And then… well, I ended up getting drunk.”

As Sienna thought about her drunken state, a blush crept up her cheeks. When she looked up and saw Hailey’s beautiful face, she was suddenly taken aback. “Why did I reveal this secret to her?” she wondered.

Sienna felt a wave of frustration wash over her, and she almost wanted to slap herself in the face. “I didn’t even drink. Why did I reveal everything to her?”

Hailey couldn’t help but immerse herself in the story of Oliver and Sienna, feeling a twinge of envy for their romantic connection. However, when she looked up and saw Sienna’s embarrassed expression, a sudden intuition told her that something had happened beyond what was being revealed.

But Sienna stopped talking.

Hailey recalled the night when she and Oliver were in distress at Manchernius. Oliver carried her on his back, fleeing through the jungle. They stayed on the mountain until the next day.

That night, Hailey actually felt that her feelings for Oliver had started to shift. It was just that the weight of her father’s marriage arrangement had placed a heavy burden on her, causing her to keep her emotions concealed and buried deep

within her heart.

As a result, Oliver and Sienna had a blind date. Then they became lovers. She wondered if she was brave enough, would it be her who held Oliver’s hand now?

Oliver came back in a moment. Seeing Hailey chatting with Sienna, he sat on the other side without disturbing them and looked out of the window at the blue sky in a daze.

Gunther, facing the inevitability of his approaching demise, desperately sought a miracle. He clung to the faint hope that the ancient treasure held a hidden cure, a remedy that eluded the grasp of modern science and technology.

But Oliver didn’t want to have any other thoughts. Gunther was seeking a miracle, and so did he.

What he wanted to save was not his own life, but Sienna’s.

But there was no difference.

If possible, he would rather trade his own life for hers.

Two hours later, they arrived at Mallowbrook. Gunther’s bodyguard booked a pick-up car and sent them directly to the hotel in the city. Lunch and dinner were all served in the hotel, and then they started to prepare equipment and food.

In addition, they also hired a local guide named Isaac who was familiar with the intricacies of the surrounding mountains and forests. He was in his forties. His father and grandfather were both skilled hunters in the terrain of Mount Rockenan.

The next night, when all the supplies were ready, Gunther invited Gabriel and Oliver to his room for discussion.

Gunther took out the two map tokens and then cast the map on the wall in the way Oliver used.

“Gabriel, Oliver, let’s check the map again to see if we can pinpoint an exact location.”

They couldn’t pinpoint the exact location with only these two maps. They could only deduce the treasure was located in

Enchanting Hollow in Mount Rockenan.

However, the area they were venturing into was vast, spanning hundreds of square miles, and it was characterized by its remote and uninhabited nature.

Just like the main peak of Mount Edshire, the specific location within such a vast mountain range was a challenge to pinpoint accurately.

Gabriel frowned and said, “Enchanting Hollow is the only region within Mount Rockenan that remains undeveloped and inaccessible. I checked countless data and consulted my former friends. The terrain there is extremely complex. There are geomagnetic abnormalities, conventional tools like geomagnetic compasses and equipment often fail upon arrival. Additionally, the dense fog permeates the land and poses a significant danger, causing disorientation and dizziness. It’s an extremely hazardous environment, with slim chances of survival for those who venture into it.”

Oliver was stunned. He had never heard of such a thing.

Gabriel added, “Enchanting Hollow in Mount Rockenan is located between latitudes 29.32 and 29.34 north, at the same latitude as Blallas Triangle and Eskarians Pyramids. So it’s also known as the Blallas Triangle on land. No one can solve the mystery of the place.”

Oliver was immediately worried. If it was so dangerous, could he replace a cure for Blood Malediction?

As Oliver studied the illuminated map on the wall, he carefully examined the information obtained from Eye Sculpture in his mind and compared it to the details displayed on the map. After a moment of focused analysis, he noticed a red dot that intermittently flashed amidst the image in his mind.

It was there!

At least the map in his mind showed that.

After pondering for a while, Oliver turned around and asked Gabriel and Gunther, “Gabriel, have you ever heard of ‘Blood Malediction?”

“Blood Malediction?”

Both Gabriel and Gunther shook their heads in surprise. “I haven’t heard of it. Is it a witchcraft or magic trick of the Mortimer family?”

Oliver shook his head in disappointment. It seemed that they had never heard of it, and it was useless to ask.

The only chance-was to get into the red dot on the map. If they found Tristar Treasure, there might be an answer.

Perhaps they could get a cure to solve Sienna’s Blood Malediction, but Oliver didn’t hold much hope for Gunther as his cancer was in its late stage.

After all, Blood Malediction was created by the ancients. No matter how mysterious it seemed, it was essentially a form of poison, if one were, to put it bluntly.

But late-stage cancer was incurable. Gunther had very little hope for a cure, knowing that there was no known way to treat

“Immortality? It’s hard to believe in such a concept. If it were true, there would be countless immortals in the world. But the reality is, there is no evidence of anyone achieving immortality. It’s all just a mythical legend,” Oliver thought.

Oliver thought for a while and then took out a piece of paper and a pen before he started drawing.

He sketched the route he envisioned in his mind onto the paper, marking the specific locations and the path that would lead them to their destination.

Seeing Oliver suddenly sketching with a pen and paper, Gunther observed his actions with curiosity. After Oliver finished, Gunther approached him and asked cautiously, “You… see something?”

Oliver nodded. “I think… This location may be a key point. Let’s replace it first.”
