The Secretly Rich Man full story

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1076

Upon walking over to have a look for himself, he had to agree with her on how strange they looked.

From what he could see, the murals depicted how the people living here back then went about with their lives.

However, some of the people that were painted looked extremely odd.

To put it simply, the murals seemed to be telling a story. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to tell the tale of the

items that had been hidden in this stone room.

Noticing the Giya was also looking intently at the murals, Gerald then asked, “Do you understand what the murals

are trying to say, Giya?”

“…W-what? What… did you just call me?” asked Giya as she immediately came to her senses and stared at Gerald,

a blank expression on her face.

“…Why, Giya of course! I didn’t get your name wrong, did I? After all, I’ve heard quite a few people calling you that

by this point!”

“…Y-you got it right… My name’s Giya, yes…” replied Giya as she felt her heart quivering slightly.

Shaking the feeling off, she then replied, “…I’m able to understand some of them… But the tale they tell is rather

odd… The first mural here seems to say that something… incredibly odd happened, to say the least… From what I

can gather, apparently strange corpses fell from the sky!”

“All the corpses were wearing odd-looking clothes as well, and they each bore strange appearances. The corpses

seemed to have suffered a miserable death before falling from the sky… Regardless, it caused quite a stir back

then since the locals were all superstitious. They believed that the corpses were heavenly soldiers, so they planned

to build them a tomb in order for the locals to make offerings to them!” explained Giya.

“Unbelievable, right…? As if corpses could just fall from the sky… I’m guessing that all this was just some fairy-tale

they came up with!”

“Anyway… The second mural talks about the heavenly soldiers as well. Among the corpses, one of them seemed to

be particularly more mysterious than the others. This heavenly soldier seemed to have received very special and

different treatment from the locals. Based on the murals, it appears that they worshiped this particular corpse like a

king, even going so far as to kowtow before him while they were transporting his corpse! Actually, after taking a

closer look, they seemed to worship the dead body like a god more than a king!

“This corpse was apparently more special than the rest since they found his body on a big tree that had fallen from

the sky with all the other corpses!” added Giya, feeling that the story was getting a bit too unrealistic, even by fairy-

tale standards.

“Aren’t there two coffins being transported though?” asked Meredith.

“Well, the third mural seems to explain that… According to the mural, a woman dressed in white should be buried

in the other coffin… She was supposedly extremely beautiful, and everyone who saw her would end up feeling

shocked. Apparently, she looked extremely beautiful even though she was as dead as the other corpses! What

more, she was found lying on top of the heavenly soldier who was found on the same big tree I mentioned earlier.

From what the locals could tell, the two of them were lovers who wanted to be buried with each other! Because of

that, the people of that country held a very grand burial ceremony for the two spiritual beings on the day they

found them!”

“As for the fourth mural… I only understand the former part… Apparently, the mysterious heavenly soldier had a

weapon with him, though it was placed someplace else… Also, both he and the woman dressed in white ended up

not getting buried together… This was supposedly because some old beggar had stood in their way, preventing

them from proceeding with the plan. Due to that old man’s interference, the mysterious heavenly soldier ended up

being placed inside a very special coffin before being stored in a secret room… As seen on this part of the mural,

the ones present at that particular scene were the king, the ones burying the mysterious heavenly soldier, and

also… that old beggar. From the looks of it, the old man was laughing the entire time!”

“…I see. And the latter part of it…?” asked Gerald, feeling extremely confused as he was bewildered.

“I… don’t quite get the latter part… It mentions something about the old beggar knowing black magic…?

Apparently, the moment the burial ceremony was over, he laughed a few times before disappearing into thin air!

Right after that, a massive object appeared that shrouded the entire royal city! It’s… improbable to say the least,

but it looks like a battleship! I… can’t make sense of this part either…” replied Giya as she shook her head.

How the hell could such a huge battleship even exist thousands of years ago?!

Meredith shook her head as well before saying, “I guess this is all just the result of people of old’s exaggerated

imagination… From what I can see, the heavenly soldier couple must have been the prince and his most beloved

concubine. It would make sense for the people of that time to paint the mural this way to symbolize their deep love

for one another. What more, the prince theory also explains why everyone in the murals is bowing to him! He’s a

noble after all! As for the corpses that fell from the sky… I’m assuming that they’re the prince’s personal soldiers.

Since the countries in the western regions were constantly at war in the past, the prince could’ve died while leading

his soldiers into battle…”

Hearing Meredith’s theory, Giya couldn’t help but laugh before saying, “Though the love story you came up with

sounds a little unrealistic, it still makes sense, in a way. At the very least, it’s by far the most logical conclusion

we’ve arrived at! I’m guessing most of what you said was right!”

“Still… The ancients must have had really amazing imagination for them to even draw such a huge battleship

thousands of years ago!” chimed in Gerald without putting too much thought into it.

After saying that, he turned to look at the stone platform before adding, “So… the item hidden within that stone box

should be the weapon the heavenly soldier carried, right?” said Gerald as he gently touched the stone box.

Luckily, he was easily able to open the stone box!
