Chapter 1230 - 554: Who Keeps a Diary Anyway?

Chapter 1230: Chapter 554: Who Keeps a Diary Anyway?

It can also be considered an opportunity for Astrid and her family to repay a favor.

Some things need not be overly explained. Who owes whom? How much is owed? Everyone has their own understanding in their heart.

Herbert mentioned this matter, and the couple did not refuse, even visibly relieved.

After that, Herbert left the Northern Lands and did not follow up on the subsequent events.

When he returned to the Mist Monastery, before seeking help from Ophidia, he received a magical message.

It wasn’t from Ms. Astrid herself, but from his father, the Silver Wing Duke, conveying the message that everything had been completed.

Herbert thought they would act proactively, but he didn’t expect them to be so eager, having settled everything in such a short time.

According to the Silver Wing Duke, they transferred those resources as compensation to the Frost Crystal Kingdom to make amends for Finn’s covert harm to the Frost Crystal Kingdom.

Afterwards, they were bestowed by King Reinhardt to the Silver Wing Duke as commendation for his brave deeds during a crisis.

Now, although those things are nominally his father’s, they actually belong to Herbert.

It’s troublesome and meaningless, but that’s how adults handle dirty affairs.

And after such maneuvers, a resource that was already lost to the Witch Association was transferred through three hands, benefiting four groups of people.

The Witch Association’s reputation was preserved, Astrid’s family repaid a favor, the Silver Wing Duke received commendation, and Herbert got the resources.

Reputation and benefits were all gained.

Everyone achieved happiness.

Oh, except for Finn, he certainly wouldn’t be happy.

As the one being robbed of wealth to aid the impoverished, if he were to learn these, he’d definitely have a massive emotional breakdown.

The wealth and foundation he painstakingly built over many years were not only taken by enemies but also became gifts to reinforce relations between various forces, bringing joy to all... This might upset him more than directly killing him.

However, Finn, the unfortunate fellow, is still drifting somewhere, so his opinion isn’t worth considering.

And what Herbert is seeking help for now is actually related to Finn.

At the end of the Silver Wing Duke’s message, he also added another piece of information, handing over another package to him.

A diary was found in Finn’s Mage Tower, recording many personal matters and secret messages.

Everyone knows, who writes a diary seriously? Can what’s written really be one’s innermost thoughts?

Clearly, Finn, unlike Herbert, the paragon of morality, isn’t a decent person.

He’s shameless; he writes a diary.

He not only documented his entire journey from low to high but also meticulously recorded many reflections and summaries after events.

After making a copy within the Witch Association, it was originally handed to Herbert as spoils of war.

Upon receiving the original diary, Herbert felt quite sentimental.

He didn’t expect to understand the life of an epic existence in such a way.

Although he was in opposition to Finn’s stance, Herbert did not deny his legendary first half of life.

If he hadn’t met Herbert unfortunately at the end, Finn’s life would be a perfect rags-to-riches epic for a small character.

—Oh, but not perfect emotionally.

The woman he likes doesn’t like him, yet he stubbornly claims he never liked her.

Why Herbert pays attention to this diary is because, upon a quick scan, he discovered a particular Chapter mentioning "misfortune."

In that diary, Finn had deeply reflected.

He believes that his decline started when he encountered a certain Demon that brings misfortune.

Because of that damn Demon, he was finally forced to take reckless risks and eventually took dangerous paths.

Mentioning "misfortune" and "Demon," Herbert naturally thought of that "luck" overfilled Demon in the Disciplinary Hall at home.

Is there some connection between them?
