Chapter 587 - 498: What Is Xilan’s Arrival For?
Helong Mountain Range.
In this borderland between Kaelonde and Golan Kingdom, a strange and fantastical legend quietly spread.
It is said that there was an old man who would often knock on doors in the dead of night, asking the occupants for food and warmth. If you were generous and kind and fulfilled his requests, this old man would, in turn, fulfill one of your wishes.
One person wished for the resurrection of a lover, and the next day, their beloved indeed returned to life; another wished for an inexhaustible fortune, and the next day, they unearthed three large chests of gold; someone wished for the love of their heart’s desire, and the next day, their beloved truly appeared before them after having abandoned their family......
All sorts of strange rumors connected together, slowly weaving into the image of that old man. People called him the Wish-Granting Sage, and it was said that whoever made a wish to him would surely see it come true.
As the rumors about the Wish-Granting Sage grew more and more intense, within the Helong Mountain Range, many mortals began to lose their ambition. As soon as they heard new rumors about the Wish-Granting Sage, they would stay at home all day, daring not to step outside for fear of missing out on him. Even worse, some started underground dealings, profiting from selling news of the Wish-Granting Sage or items he had inadvertently left behind.
This Wish-Granting Sage truly stirred the entire Helong Mountain Range.
Until...
"My wish is that people will never be able to make wishes to you."
The Earl of the borderlands, Maxwell, spoke.
