I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 221

At that same moment, Lailah, too, woke up with a start. As both of them exchanged glances, an inexplicable emotion filled their eyes.

Jonathan was the first to speak. “I had a dream.”

Lailah replied, “I had a dream too.” As excitement began to swell within her, she added, “You go first.”

“I dreamed that King Sergiu changed the tide of battle after manipulating space and time with the Holy Chest. In the end, when he attempted to use the Sinai Bible to change his fate, he was killed when the process backfired. Subsequently, a general named Euston recorded everything that happened on the Holy Boulder.”

“I had the exact same dream as you. There's no mistake, then. The Holy Chest and the Sinai Bible do exist.”

Jonathan, too, was thrilled to have finally made some progress on the matter.

They swiftly climbed out of the cave and walked up to the Holy Boulder.

Upon closer examination, Jonathan noticed that it was densely packed with ancient text, just as it was in the dream.

The texts were indeed the historical records described by Ranen.

In that instant, any doubts both of them had had toward the existence of the Holy Chest and the Sinai Bible had been dispelled.

Nonetheless, they were still faced with a massive problem—they had no idea where the Sinai Bible was, as it clearly wasn't there.

“Lailah, I think we should look at it from another perspective,” Jonathan suggested.

Lailah looked at Jonathan. She was filled with admiration for him because his wisdom was the reason they could have the dream.

It gradually dawned on her that Jonathan's sharpness, instead of his luck, would be instrumental in their search for the Sinai Bible.

Jonathan continued, “We have been finding the Crying Wall and Holy Boulder but have neglected the mission's clue—the Third Sacred Temple. I feel that the Holy Chest and Sinai Bible weren't taken by anyone. Instead, such divine objects should still be inside the Third Sacred Temple.”

“You're right. But where are we going to find the Third Sacred Temple?”

“There won't be anything else to find here. Let's get out of here first and get a proper shower. Then we shall fill our stomachs before giving the matter more thought.”

Lailah nodded in agreement. “Sure.”

Their previously drenched clothes had already been dried by the wind.

Before they left via the tunnel, they gave the place another look. The Holy Boulder and its surroundings used to be steeped in history and mysticism.

Jonathan even had a thought. If I could leave behind an equally impressive legacy where the path that I have traveled would be worshiped by future generations, I wonder how wonderful it would feel.

By then, it was already five in the morning.

When they arrived at the end of the tunnel, they noticed the hole above them had been tightly covered.

Nonetheless, there was no stopping Jonathan and Lailah. With a single palm strike, Jonathan smashed the cover into pieces and the two then climbed out.

“If you had stayed in there any longer, I would have to collect your corpses from the inside,” Leslie said sarcastically as he strolled in.

Having been kept in suspense over the last two days, he was naturally annoyed. He, without a doubt, knew that both of them had gone treasure hunting inside. After all, there were plenty who had done the same.

“I'll pay you ten thousand more in Anglandurn currency,” Lailah offered, not wanting to waste any time.

Filled with delight, Leslie agreed, “Deal.”

Upon emerging from Serity Monastery, Jonathan and Lailah were once again greeted by the starry night sky.

Breathing in the refreshing air, both of them felt as if they had been reborn.

Once Leslie's bill was cleared, Jonathan drove Lailah back to the hotel.

As the moon gradually faded away, the first light of dawn began to illuminate the horizon.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since they accepted the mission.

With twenty-three days to go, there seemed to be more than enough time left.

Nevertheless, compared to those who had spent thousands of years searching, that duration wasn't even close to being sufficient.

This time, Lailah was seated in the front passenger seat—she had unconsciously grown closer to Jonathan.

Upon their return to the hotel, both Jonathan and Lailah returned to their respective rooms.

Out of precaution, Jonathan decided to check the room. Only when he was certain no one had entered in their absence was his mind put at ease.

He then proceeded to shower thoroughly before putting on a clean change of clothes.

In that instant, he felt much more refreshed.

However, his stomach began to growl.

After rummaging through his belongings and finding a box of instant pasta, he quickly prepared it and wolfed it down until there was nothing left.

Following that, he brushed his teeth before lying down comfortably in bed.

And before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.

By the time he woke up, it was already five in the afternoon.

He felt so energized by the rest that he thought he could kill a tiger with a single punch.

In reality, he was capable of doing so since a long time ago.

The first thing he did after getting out of bed was to draw the curtains open.

When the rays of the setting sun illuminated the room, it bathed the entire space in a golden hue.

Jonathan stood on the balcony and looked out at the holy city of Yeringham, which was brimming with wonders. The sight made him feel as if he was lost in space and time.

Despite the modern skyscrapers standing before him, he could imagine the scene where the glorious Sacred Temple stood before him. In addition to the scores of missionaries and Plutorians gathered, the Holy Knights made for a grand spectacle in their heavy armor. Standing in front of tens of thousands of people, King Sergiu awed everyone with his majestic presence.

Even though every city had its own interesting story to tell, Yeringham's was a cut above the rest.

Feeling hungry again, Jonathan decided to go and see Lailah.

The latter was already up and dressed to go out.

This time, both of them wore white. The greater coincidence was that they were wearing white T-shirts, which made them look just like a couple in matching outfits.

“How does it look?” Lailah asked. “At least we won't look like a chessboard while standing together,” she added knowingly.

Scratching his nose, Jonathan let out a chuckle and countered, “But we look like we're in couple outfits instead.”

Stumped by his response, Lailah changed the subject. “Let's go down and have some food before heading to the Crying Wall. No matter what, we must get in this time.”

Jonathan nodded. “All right!”

Both of them had dinner in a private room at the hotel restaurant.

They ordered a feast, including lobster and red wine.

Because their days might be numbered, it was imperative to enjoy the time they had left. After all, there was no point in having so much money if they weren't alive to spend it.

Both Jonathan and Lailah shared the same thoughts.

“Jonathan, do you think we can find a clue to the Third Sacred Temple when we visit the Crying Wall this time?”

Jonathan pondered briefly before replying, “I can't say for sure, but I have no doubt that the Third Sacred Temple is located within the city of Yeringham.”

Surprised by his speculation, Lailah asked, “Why?”

“Yeringham is famous for its Sacred Temples and that's why it's called the holy city. The First and Second Sacred Temples are here. Only a temple rebuilt within Yeringham can be named the Third Sacred Temple. If it was built anywhere else, its meaning would be lost, let alone be given the name.”

Lailah concurred with his analysis. “But Professor Horowitz said that there was no way the Third Sacred Temple would be hidden if it was built. Since it's a place of worship for the Yartranians, there's no reason for them to hide it in a secluded place.”

“Professor Horowitz also mentioned that the Crying Wall is the Yartranians' Third Sacred Temple.”
