Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1720
Gerald inquired, “What on earth is this…?”
“…First and foremost, this location is known as Fishgut Cave, and within this stone pillar is an ancient longsword known as the Fishgut Sword,” Old Hughes explained to Gerald.
“…The… Fishgut Sword?” says the narrator. Gerald was perplexed to hear such an unusual name for a longsword.
Old Hughes then retrieved a rolled-up parchment from beneath his coat. When Gerald unfolded it in front of him, the first image he saw was of a handsome, strong man and an elderly-looking man standing together in a location that looked strikingly similar to where they were now… It was, without a doubt, depicting both of them in Fishgut Cave!
“Is that… us?” Gerald, who was now completely perplexed, inquired.
Hughes replied, slowly revealing a wry grin, “Bingo.” It shows both of us standing in the same place…
I knew I was destined to lead someone here when I first discovered this parchment and saw its contents… And now, at long last, you’re here!”
Gerald, understandably, was taken aback by the situation. Gerald could tell that this wasn’t a bluff because of how serious Old Hughes was looking at him.
What a strange coincidence that the parchment depicted their current situation so accurately!
“…What exactly is going on here, Old Hughes?” Gerald, perplexed, didn’t want to be left in the dark any longer.
What was the inspiration for the drawing? What exactly was this location? And what was the significance of the longsword in front of him?
“To put it bluntly, Gerald, you’re doomed! I’m sure you’re the one who’s destined to draw the sword from the stone pillar because the drawing depicts me bringing you here!” exclaimed Old Hughes.
“…Me?” Are you certain…? Isn’t it possible that it’s someone else…?” Gerald responded, slightly taken aback by Old Hughes’ claim.
