Section 309 Closing 4
Minutes and seconds ticked by.
The old woman kept her head bowed and said nothing, as if she wanted to hide everything she had under the cloak. She didn't seem to be doing anything, she wasn't going to do anything, she was just waiting patiently.
It's really a posture that doesn't want to do anything, it's not like some kind of camouflage. Because even the magical residues on her body did not fluctuate. Using magic always creates scars, which means that she doesn't pretend to be harmless on the surface, in fact waiting for her chance - but really doing nothing.
The imposter female scholar clearly felt the heavy pressure in the air.
She was well aware of the current situation. The timing of this visit, or negotiation, was very good, and it was the opportunity for the legion of high-level warlocks of the Stygian Moon to invade the lair of Kecha Goat. Although Kaicha Goat has shown excellent combat power in previous battles, with weapons and equipment of various exotic technologies, as well as an anti-magic metal that can greatly reduce the effect of magic power (this is the most rebellious of all the equipment of Kecha Goat), it can be said that it has a great advantage over low-level warlocks and ordinary people's troops. However, judging from the current level of strength, we can simply use an analogy: "the products in the low-price market are very competitive, but the high-price market still lacks the main products, and the competitiveness is very low."
Therefore, according to a reasonable speculation, it is more likely that Kecha Koyath will not be able to stop the offensive of the Stygian Moon this time. Extending an olive branch at this time can be described as an extremely clever time. It can be said that the greater the danger faced by Kecha Goyat, the higher the success rate of this consultation. Because obviously, there really isn't much to talk about between Kecha Goyat and the Stygian Moon camp.
Of course, Kecha Goat's refusal at first was not a surprise. On top of that, Kecha Goyat allowed them to sit on the sidelines. This may imply something, maybe Kechagoat will use the Radiant Moon Warlock as his last hole card - if he really loses it all, he may have to use the hand of the Radiant Moon Warlock to escape the danger.
So far, everything had been at least expected, but the dying wails of Kecha Goyat not long ago could have shattered her expectations.
It would be an exaggeration to say that that is a disguise. Fake female scholars don't believe it's fake. Kecha Goat must be dead!
In fact, it didn't matter if Kaicha Goyat was dead or not, anyway, she was just a strong man who was pulled over, and she didn't bear any responsibility for this matter. Kecha Goat is dead, the plan of the agreement is scrapped, and she will not be the one in charge (and certainly not the old woman, only God knows who will be responsible). However, if Kecha Goat dies - and if Kecha Goat is alive, he will naturally be at the forefront - then it means that Hades has won.
So what will these Moon Warlocks who killed Kecha Goat do when they see two Moon Warlocks - this question doesn't need to be asked to know the answer. And it wasn't just one or two people, it was a whole legion. Even if some of them were wiped out by Kecha Goyat before, at least half of the legion would have been.
Three or five ordinary high-level warlocks, she is confident that she can handle it, ten or eight, and it is not difficult to have an old woman's helper. But dozens, hundreds, hundreds...... That's a completely different thing.
If she had questioned it directly, the old woman would have said something irresponsible, such as "it would be nice to flee before the enemy closes the siege." But it was an army of high-level warlocks, and it couldn't be overestimated. And even if it is a high-level warlock legion, there should be a small number of rangers. This means that standing here and waiting patiently is very risky. Maybe after a while, the enemy will surround them, and then they won't be able to leave.
What does the old woman mean by such an immovable posture here? Wait here, what result can you wait for?
"That, Mentor. She tried her best to put on a slightly flattering tone. It must be said that after being forcibly pulled over by the old woman to be a strong man, her mood has been bad. Of course, there is nothing good-tempered in what you say. It's just that the old woman kept pretending not to hear. "I want to ask, this time...... What exactly do we see in the river of fate?"
"What?" the old woman looked stupid.
"I mean...... What path does fate guide you?!" Butterfly Dream sighed more this time. "Mentor, now that we're here, this matter is ...... It's immutable. It's okay to leak something, right?" she gritted her teeth.
"Hey...... And so you did...... Do you think so?" the old woman sighed and replied in an understatement. "What would you think if I said that things were actually quite different from what you thought?"
"Completely different?" refers to observing the river of destiny...... What's so special?" As a high-ranking warlock, or rather, as the true ruler of this society, a member of the top few of the elites, she is all too familiar with the warlock's abilities, or rather, the real hole cards. That is, the warlocks have the ability to control their fate.
For a single warlock, this ability is not as useful as imagined (mostly by the ignorant). It could even be said that it does not really keep the warlock out of danger. You can observe, but your ability to observe is limited, and you can't do it all, even in a small area. In fact, what is truly observed can only be called "fragments". So taking your destiny into your hands is a complete dream. You can interfere, but it's more dangerous than observing. Because you can say that you are not deeply involved when you observe, but the waves caused by interference β even the slightest contact can trigger a tsunami that engulfs everything β are not something you can control. It's just a matter of engulfing others, and it's common for you to accidentally affect yourself. On the contrary, the recklessness of doing whatever they want, using this power as a means of attack, "pretending to be forced and running", and breaking away before the backlash arrives, is the choice of more warlocks.
However, for the Warlocks as a whole, that's a different story. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even more warlocks gathered together and put together all the fragments they saw, and the quantitative change produced the qualitative change. Even if everyone can only see insignificant fragments, when these fragments are put together, they can reflect the flow of fate to a certain extent. So a single warlock may make all sorts of wrong judgments, but as a whole, the warlocks never make mistakes.
Of course, these particular observations are the most secret of the best, the ones that will never be leaked. Even at the level of Butterfly Dream, there is no chance to know the truth.
The old woman must have done this when she came here. She "saw" that Kecha Goyat could form an alliance with the Huiyue camp, so she came here. From this point of view, the old woman may already have an idea of the current situation. But if Kecha Goat is dead, then it's all empty words...... Wait a minute...... If Kecha Goyat dies......
Didn't you intend to win over Kecha Goat from the beginning? Just to make sure that this unstable factor disappeared?
"Observing Destiny...... Haha," said the old woman slowly. "Dear student, I'll teach you a lesson now. This is the summary of my long life...... Many people say that warlocks have the power to control their fate, especially those intelligent civilizations in other worlds, and almost all of them show strong horror when faced with this power. But in my experience, in fact, this is a stupid act...... Peering into fate is inherently stupid, and it's even more stupid to want to change something. β
She lifted her face slightly, an eerie red glowing in the shadow of her hood. In fact, this matter has long been perceived by many people, and it has also been reasoned and proven by countless people...... Many times, we push things in the direction we want, spend a lot of effort and cost, and finally achieve our goal. It seems to be a victory, a success, but no one knows what we missed out on for that shallow goal!"
She looked at her student as if she wanted to speak, so she made a "listen to me first" gesture. "Many people think that using the second law magic as a weapon of attack using methods such as 'words and spirits' is a waste and a mistake. But in fact I sometimes think that maybe that's the right way to use the magic of this law. I remember you seem to be interested in philosophical reasoning like 'Guardian of the Moon' lately?"
"Yes, because I know...... Isn't he dead, though?" "Damn old woman, she must be peeping at my terminal." Butterfly Dream thought a little hatefully. It is very convenient to use the backdoor of authority to hack into other people's terminals to steal information, but it will be very unpleasant if you become the one who is compromised. But she obviously turned off the terminal entirely? Could it be that the old woman made a copy of everything in it for the first time? What a perverted approach!
"It's dead. The old woman admitted. "Although on the surface, the Stygian camp announced that it was a warlock assassin sent out by the Radiant Moon that killed him...... But we know the truth. Because during that time period, Huiyue's side did not send assassins at all. According to the information we have, he should have died in an internal coup d'Γ©tat...... Presumably, the Heart of Fire wanted to take the high position of the Chief Consul, and was killed. Specifically, before he actually set out to seize supreme power, the Lunatics had already observed this tributary of fate. It is true that the rules have never forbade an ordinary person to get the highest position, but that rule was made by the warlocks. When the rules do not protect the interests of the warlocks...... They didn't hesitate to break the rules. So, in order to prevent him from seizing the supreme power of the entire camp, the Stygian Warlocks struck first and took out the Heart of Flame...... Erased that tributary forever...... It's really a lot like what a Stygian would do. β
"This was a long time ago, right?" Diemon asked, a little skeptical. "It's been a long time coming, and even if there is anything, does it have anything to do with our current situation?"
"I'm just giving you an example of what the Stygian faction missed while they achieved their goal. They succeeded in avoiding the seizure of supreme power by ordinary people...... However, perhaps the opportunity to end this war once and for all was missed. β
