The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 651 The Emperor narrated the story of the Ancient Fours origins.

The Ancient Four dated back to a thousand years ago.

Prince of Orchid Mountain? James frowned.

There was no record of this person in history.

He glanced at the Emperor and asked, Whos that? The Emperor shook his head.

He also did not know who the Prince of OrchidMountain was.

How would i know about a person that existed a thousand years ago? Moreover, very little is recorded about him in the ancient scrolls of the Ancient Four.

Mr.

Johnston, why are you explaining so much to him? Bobby said dissatisfiedly.

The Emperor waved his hand and said, Bobby, James is also a descendant of the Cadens.

He should know about the history of his family.

Plus, the things Im telling him arent secrets anyway.

Bobby stopped interfering.

His hand was broken, and he could not gather any strength in his arm.

He waited patiently.

When the people he arranged in Cansington to retrieve the chest unearthed from the Prince of Orchid Mountains ancient tomb in the House of Royal, he would find a place to heal his injury.

I only know that the Prince of Orchid Mountain was a man from a thousand years ago.

I think he was the younger brother of an emperor.

He was exiled after failing to claim the crown.

However, he was not satisfied.

He collected the worlds treasures and wealth.

He wanted to make a comeback but could not claim the throne until his death.

Before his death, he handed over the four paintings to his four officials for safekeeping.

Its rumored that a huge secret is hidden within the four paintings.

Apparently, the Prince of Orchid Mountain did not want the four paintings to be put together, so he deliberately separated them.

He never said anything about the way to unlock the secrets hidden with the four paintings.

It wasnt until the last few decades that people from the Ancient Four realized the key item to unraveling the secret was in a chest buried inside the ancient tomb of the Prince of OrchidMountain after they went through their familys ancient scrolls.

Therefore, the Ancient Four spent dozens of years investigating the whereabouts of the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.

James listened carefully to the untold histories of his family.

Now, he was curious about the relationship between the meridian and acupuncture diagrams inside the bronze chest and the four paintings.

He had seen the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides Edge before.

It was a simple landscape painting.

There were mountains, rivers, and some bamboo houses.

Other than that, there was nothing special about it.

The Emperor continued to narrate the story.

Back in the day, the Prince of Orchid Mountain distributed his wealth to the Ancient Four.

The families relied on the wealth left to them and lived comfortable lives.

However, in modern decades, the wealth of the Ancient Four had been exhausted.

Therefore, they began to do business, and now each family has wealth comparable to a countrys.

James glanced at the Emperor and asked, Who gave the grave robbers the location of the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain? The Emperor shrugged and said, How would I know? Then, why was your subordinate there to snatch the chest? You cant simply accuse me of a crime.

I have nothing to do with this.

What do you mean by my subordinate? Is there some kind of misunderstanding? The Emperor quickly defended himself.

James did not ask any more questions.

Although the Emperor denied it, James knew his subordinate had snatched the chest.

The persons name was Floyd.

He was incredibly strong and was working under the Emperor.

Cynthia also listened carefully to the conversation.

She was intrigued after hearing the stories and could not help but ask, Whats the secret hidden within the four pictures left by the Prince of Orchid Mountain? The Emperor shrugged.

Bobby glanced at the two and said indifferently, It wont make a difference to tell you two anyway.

The Cadens had a myth that spread for a thousand years saying that unraveling the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides Edge would allow one to gain eternal life.

Ha! James sneered.

Eternal life? How is that possible? James was a medical practitioner and was incredibly proficient in medicine.

He understood that human cells had lifespans.

Medicine could prolong ones life, but only for a hundred years at most.

Bobbys words sounded incredibly absurd to him.
