Human desires are endless. When faced with the most sincere desires deep in their hearts, some people will choose to suppress their desires and embark on a path of centrifugation that goes against themselves. And some people will follow themselves and do their best to achieve their desires.
The common people in the world tend to lofty the former who go against their true intentions, and label the latter who follow themselves as the evil of greed. But in "Paradise", those who set foot on the right path will receive the respect they deserve, and those who have desires will be given the respect they deserve. Here you will not be looked down upon by the world, where greed is one of the noblest qualities.
——"The Prophet of Fall"
A tear slipped from the corner of the Ghost Count's eye, and the ghost flames surrounding him all gathered next to the lantern he held in his hand. The light from the lantern dimmed a little, and the gathered flames turned into a small, He patted his shoulder gently, as if comforting the Ghost Earl.
The Ghost Earl stretched out his wrinkled hands from the wide cuffs. There were several strange dark black lines on the skinny arms, which were very similar to the lines that had appeared on Vitor's body before, but there were still some. Some subtle differences.
The black lines that appeared on Vitor's body were ugly and ferocious, appearing on Vitor's snow-white skin like centipedes crawling on the snow.
The black lines on the Ghost Earl's arms are quite neat, densely covered on the skin like spider webs, making it look weird.
He accepted the power that did not belong to him, and was burdened with this terrifying curse that contained countless evil desires.
While he was using that power, the sin pattern called "Insatiable" also gradually eroded his body.
He has never stepped into the super world, and his physique is not the same as that of ordinary people. Under the unique curse and erosion of the greed sin pattern, his aging speed has accelerated by nearly ten years. It stands to reason that his life span has expired. The reason why he is still alive now is only because of his strength. 'The Black Emperor, whose identity as captain can barely breathe.
The rapid aging not only made his body brittle, but even his memory began to have defects. Similarly, he sometimes remembered and sometimes had no memory.
But for those memories he cherishes, as long as he works hard, he can always remember them.
For example, Pu, and for example... Inriges.
"Sorry... I lost my temper."
The Ghost Earl put away his wandering thoughts and returned to the present, his expression returned to the same calm look just now.
"It's okay, it's okay." After hearing what the Ghost Earl said, Pleasant quickly waved it off. After confirming that the other party had no other symptoms, he hesitantly asked the Ghost Earl, "Listening to what you just said, you seem to be dissatisfied with me. My father seems to be very familiar with it, and he seems to know something related to the inheritance, so can I ask if you know where my father placed the inheritance here."
The Ghost Earl did not answer Pleasant directly, but looked at the documents and reports scattered on the ground and the table that was randomly smashed by the greedy beast. His expression returned, as if he was recalling something again.
"If you were able to find this, you must have used his Chasing Light. The Chasing Lamp can easily trace the location of people or things with the help of related objects, but it cannot be used to pinpoint the exact location. It can only give a general idea."

"You followed the guidance of the dust-chasing lamp and came here first, but you couldn't figure out the specific target, so you had to rummage around here."
"The letter you found should have told you the final destination of that inheritance..."
The Ghost Earl said word for word, and what he said was almost exactly the same as what Pleasant had just done.
"Did 482's name turn out to be Chasing Light?"
Pleasant nodded thoughtfully, then looked up at the Ghost Earl and said, "I did just that, and I did find a letter, but the letter only mentioned that my father finally delivered the inheritance to He mentioned Oselemomb, who disappeared ten years ago, and did not indicate the current specific location of the inheritance."
"Othelemon...I haven't heard this name for a long time." The ghost Earl's pupils dimmed a little, and the flame that turned into a small hand beside him dispersed into several floating ghosts, and was sucked in lantern
in candlelight.
"Do you know this former Governor Norton? Is he still alive?"
The Ghost Earl raised his head, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his wrinkled face. He said softly: "Being alive is no different from being dead. It is only because of the unfinished obsession in my heart that I can barely support the aging disability. Until now."
"Then do you know where he is now? Is he in Inriges?" Plisson vaguely felt that the ghost count might be in a bad state, but he still had the courage to continue asking.
"He...is standing in front of you now."
There was a bit of bitterness in the Ghost Earl's smile. His withered face was too old to be recognised, but his figure gradually overlapped with that of the former governor that Pleasant saw in the dream.
At this time, Plissen was too surprised to speak. What the Ghost Earl just said was too shocking. Who would have thought that the famous pirate king of the West Sea, the Ghost Earl, would be the former Governor Norton who had been missing for ten years. .
What exactly happened to Oselemon ten years ago, and what turned this young noble who should have been pampered and pampered into a vicious ghost king that everyone shunned.
Osramon gently touched the golden noble medal hanging on his chest, and he could see a bit of nostalgia for the past from his youthful eyes.
"I think you have many doubts in your mind. If I have time, I will explain it to you thoroughly."
"As a friend, your father has the most sincere trust in me. As his child, since you have come here, I will definitely not let you down."
"There is no need to go on, and there is no need to dwell on my previous actions. Follow me. I will do my best to help you obtain 088 and all the wealth stored in it."
"This is what I owe your father, and this is what you deserve."
"Um...can I ask, where is the forbidden item 088 now? How do we get it?" Plisson asked one more question.
Othelemon paused, and then said loudly and forcefully: "Grab!"
"Steal it from... who?"
Oselemon straightened up, his eyes suddenly became extremely bright, an invisible aura emerged from this old body, and even the burning fire in the lantern began to escape.
He bit, the hatred of the past mingling with the anger of the present.
"Greed... Mammon!"
Like the despicable savior
