Chapter 235: Broom Star
As a fellow saint, Anthony knew a lot about saint soothsayers.
Or so to speak, there is no saint who does not pay attention to the soothsayer.
The special group of saint diviners can basically be said to be the most useless members of the saints.
It's useless, but it's very special!
It's useless to say, because the saint soothsayers can't fight or talk, they can't transform or summon anything, and if they go out and meet a thug, they can make people roll all over the ground and call Daddy.
But the reason why it is said to be the most special is that the saint soothsayer can predict the future.
The number of soothsayers was small, and they lived in groups as families, and a few caravans could be packed and taken away, and their whereabouts were secretive.
As a non-human species, the reason why wizards have survived until now is precisely because every saint scattered abroad needs to be unconditionally guaranteed their safety, which is an unwritten rule.
The prophetic abilities of the saints are both passive and active.
Let's take the initiative first, that is, to get a broken crystal ball to wipe it shiny, and then go to the countryside to deceive some old men and old ladies into ordering money for groceries.
Just like fortune tellers, the spirit is not good from time to time, so their active predictions to others are also true and false, and there are many false and few true.
And their "passive" prophecies, but each one of them will become a fact, and it is a fact that can be changed.
This prophecy is not through a crystal ball, but a prophecy brought about by a dream.
When soothsayers receive such prophecies, they can be said to be anytime, anywhere, regardless of time or occasion.
It's very likely that they faint while eating, or faint while squatting on the toilet, or at any time they will suddenly faint and receive some kind of prophecy.
Fortune tellers rarely act alone, because it is very likely that when crossing the street, they will suddenly enter a dream to receive a prophecy and faint directly, in which case, it is easy for a large truck to be killed directly.
This kind of sudden fainting into a dream is not common, sometimes it will appear once in a few months, and when it is rare, it will not appear for several years.
Most importantly, the prophecies they received were relevant to all the saints.
If the soothsayers had found De Niro on their own initiative, it would have meant that they had received some kind of prophecy, and it had something to do with the Ancestor and several Chinese people in the castle.
Thinking of this, Anthony looked through the car window at the castle on the top of the hill, anxious.
The reason for his uneasiness was simple: the soothsayers of saints never predicted good things.
The soothsayer among the apostles is an existence that makes all kinds of broom stars cry in shame.
。。。。。。
In the ancient castle, after the insightful De Niro explained to Chu Yu the "little ninety-nine" of the blood clan and Anthony, the latter couldn't cry or laugh.
I have to say that Dracula is too "cheap".
It's not that he's cheap, it's that his connection with all the bloodlines is too cheap.
Of course, he's also quite cheap.
Winning over the blood clan, at least the first step is success, and it can be regarded as a good start.
Most importantly, Anthony was prepared to take the lead in doing this, which also shared a lot of pressure from within the Saints for De Niro.
Anthony's unquestioning support for Dracula is human, and there is no need to suspect that this guy has other ideas.
However, everyone also knows that convincing the Saint Blood Clan is the biggest certainty, after all, everyone has "hostages" in their hands.
But except for the Blood Clan, the other saints are probably not so easy to fool.
And in front of the saints of other non-human species, whether it is Dracula or De Niro, the council elder, basically does not have much right to speak.
It's also quite funny to say that the cult organization of the Saints Secret Society is quite democratic, and there is no such thing as centralized power.
The elders of the council are like the House of Lords, and the patriarchs and chiefs of the saints are members of the House of Commons, so there are really few people who can eat big or small.
So the work has to be done one by one, and the freaks among the saints have to be fooled one by one.
The Bloodlines are the first target, followed by the Werewolves.
To completely defeat NH Company, it not only requires strong force, but also requires huge funds, including intelligence networks and manpower, etc., and most importantly, cannon fodder.
Because the real combat power of NH Company is not armed personnel, but the Inhuman group, the best choice to deal with freaks is also freaks.
After thinking about it, De Niro really couldn't think of any unique highlights or specialties of the werewolves, and in the end, he could only define them as "cannon fodder".
In the war with NH, cannon fodder is also indispensable.
Compared with the real pure-blooded werewolves, the werewolf motorcycle party is not half a star.
Just as De Niro and Chu Yu were discussing how to fool the leader of the wolf clan, Wolf, Cage walked in and said that a group of saint soothsayers dressed and named Hanako had visited.
"Saint soothsayer?"
Hearing these five words of the saint soothsayer, Tarzan collapsed in front of De Niro, who never changed his color, like the old king who was pressed in the closet by his neighbor, with a frightened expression on his face.
After taking a deep look at Chu Yuhou, De Niro hurriedly ran out of the room.
Chu Yu looked surprised: "The old guy owes money to the soothsayer?"
You must know that De Niro will definitely tidy up his appearance in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror before meeting the guests, and today is the first time he has seen this old guy and the cat whose tail has been stepped on.
Cage smiled wryly, "In the Secret Society of the Saints, there is not a single saint who likes a saint soothsayer, let alone a soothsayer. ”
"Why?"
"Because ... Because it's a bunch of broom stars!"
"Broom Star?" Chu Yu walked to the window, looked down and was startled: "I'll go, why are you still driving a caravan here?"
"Maybe it's the custom of the soothsayers, the saints are all purebred Gypsies, and the Gypsies are a well-known cross-border people, so maybe the saints soothsayers follow the tradition of the ancient Gypsies, and wherever they go, they will drive the caravan all the way... ”
"How's it going?"
In the words of the soothsayer himself, it is to feel the magic of the power of nature, so he leaves everything outside of himself and drives a caravan around the world. ”
Cage said it very tactfully, originally he wanted to say that this is a bunch of poor nasty ghosts and hooligans all over the world.
"Traveling... The world?" Chu Yule was overwhelmed: "It's all about overestimating them, I think it's just a poor trip to the world all the way." ”
Cage gave a slight thumbs up.
Hit the nail on the head!
For the real gypsies, Chu Yu still knows something.
When he was in college, he had watched a movie called "Gypsy Soul", and the portrayal of gypsies in the movie made him remember it very well.
Beautiful people, free souls, and charming life.
This short sentence is enough to describe the short and brilliant life of the gypsy.
As for the world's claim that Gypsies are thieves, pickpockets, pyramid schemes, and workers in red light districts, this is complete nonsense.
It's as if there are no thieves and pickpockets in other peoples.
And Chu Yu's malicious ridicule of what he said was not aimed at the gypsies, but the saint soothsayers in the Saints' Secret Society.
Cage pulled Chu Yu back to the sofa, and then slowly told him about the saint's soothsayer.
The soothsayer in the Secret Order of the Saints and the soothsayer in the Gypsies are two different concepts at all.
They are both called soothsayers and gypsies, but there is a fundamental difference between the two.
According to Cage, the soothsayers among the saints should strictly be called prophesies of the children of darkness.
Prophecy, darkness, and son are three words that are linked together, which roughly means that these are a group of dead children who specialize in predicting bad things in advance.
To mention the title of prophetic son of darkness, we have to trace the origin of the saint's soothsayer.
Authentic Gypsies originally had no fixed beliefs, and generally after living in one place for a long time, they often believed in the local religion.
Fifteen hundred years ago, the Gypsies migrated from India to Europe
One of the Gypsies, not knowing whether they had lost their way or had broken away from the army, went straight to Egypt and entered a pharaonic tomb, the famous tomb of Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamun was one of the most famous pharaohs in Egyptian history, and the size of his tomb was hidden by a Western archaeological team in 1924.
Before the archaeological team discovered the tomb, the soothsayers who had broken away from the army or lost their way had already explored the tomb.
The most talked-about thing about Tutankhamun's tomb is the gruesome phenomenon of the "pharaoh's poisonous curse".
The general meaning is that no matter who goes in, they will definitely be unlucky, illness, accidents, just like the script of "The Grim Reaper", anyway, no one who goes in will have a good end, and they will definitely not be able to die.
What the world didn't know was that the group of soothsayers entered the tomb long before the archaeological team.
They were also cursed, but the curse they endured was not death, but a "nightmare".
The so-called "nightmare" is a dream that "predicts" how the person around you will die every day, day after day, year after year, until the prophesied person actually dies, the dream will disappear.
On top of that, the soothsayers also had a long lifespan, almost as long as the Bloods.
And the descendants of that group of soothsayers, once they reach adulthood, will have many inscriptions on their bodies, and by the time they are about twenty years old, their whole body is covered with inscriptions.
Each of these cross-stitch inscriptions is an obscure prophecy that fades when it is combined with a "dream" and produces a corollary.
Later, the descendants of this group of soothsayers arrived on the European continent and eventually joined the Secret Order of the Saints.
The worst loss of the Holy Order, that is, the annihilation event that was fooled by the Holy See, in fact, before that, there were saint soothsayers who predicted that other humanoid species would be pitted by the Holy See, but unfortunately, no one believed it.
Because at that time, everyone wanted to take advantage of the Holy See, and in the end it was served in a pot.
Later, the soothsayers of the saints roamed around in caravans, just like ordinary gypsy soothsayers, and whenever a soothsayer received a "dream", it meant that there was a non-human species in the secret order of the saints who were going to suffer or have bad luck.
It is worth mentioning that the future "foretold" by the soothsayers of the saints can be changed, and through their warnings, the saints can be prepared in advance.
But one thing has never changed, and that is that even if the saint soothsayers had forewarned them, the results would not have been much better than the "dreams" they received.
For example, the broom stars predicted that a certain Bloodclan would be burned to death, and then the Bloodclan ran to settle next to the reservoir in order not to be burned, but they were not burned to death, and accidentally fell into the reservoir and drowned.
To put it more plainly, that is, the saint soothsayer said that whoever is going to die, then this person, he will definitely die, no matter how he guards or struggles.
The result will never change, but the process can change.
You can't choose to live or die, but you can choose how to die.
In the later stage, the people who want to lose blood and bad luck will no longer struggle, and will sit at home and wait for death, anyway, the toss and toss to die is even more cruel than the saint soothsayer predicted, it is better to accept the reality.
Chu Yu sat on the sofa, his face pale.
"Damn, this Nima is a bunch of broom stars. ”
Cage sighed helplessly and nodded.
Chu Yu trembled and lit a cigarette, and after taking two puffs, he began to comfort himself.
"It's good that these broom stars are looking for De Niro. ”
Cage glanced at Chu Yu and stopped talking.
"The soothsayer of the saints sought Elder De Niro ... It's because I want him to introduce one to him... A young Chinese. ”
Chu Yu's face became more and more ugly, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "What is he looking for the Yan Snake for?"
The flame snake rolled its eyes.
Without waiting for Chu Yu to speak, De Niro walked in with a gloomy face.
"Chu Yu, the saint soothsayer has something to look for you. ”
Chu Yu: "... ”
