Chapter 0167: Gothic Sage
The heroic Nionte did not care about the Grand Duke's anger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info天籁novel.23txt.
Ever since he became the youngest Spellbreaker Knight in the Province of Dolan, he has become the leader of the Demon Hunters here.
Sweep away the darkness, have mercy on the weak, and be fearless!
This 28-year-old young knight strictly followed the chivalric mottos handed down by the holy knights, rejected all luxurious and noble pleasures, and devoted all his energy to "cleansing evil".
"Dear Grand Duke Linton, I heard that you have a sage named Goth, I hope to see him soon!" Niint stood straight in front of the Grand Duke, ignoring the fierce gazes of a dozen heavily armed guards behind him, and directly stated his purpose.
Although it was a request, it didn't taste like a request when it came out of his mouth!
The Grand Duke's face instantly turned pale, and he angrily waved the exquisite scepter with a huge ruby on the top in his hand, and roared loudly: "Goth is the enlightenment teacher I invited for my youngest daughter, he is not a sage, let alone a spellcaster you are looking for everywhere! You have no right to investigate the mansion of a Grand Duke......
It's a pity that the Grand Duke's roar was directly ignored by the Ni Int, he stared coldly into the Grand Duke's eyes, and said word by word: "I am not here today to investigate and collect evidence, nor do I mean to embarrass this Gothic sage." Perhaps......" Niint paused slightly, "Maybe I still need the power of this gothic sage for something!"
Looking at the rare hesitant look on Knight Nient's face, Grand Duke Linton couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Before he could refuse again, a crisp young woman's voice came from the corner of the hall.
"If you want to see Mr. Goth, come with me!"
Hearing this familiar voice, the Grand Duke couldn't help but blurt out: "Aini, why are you? Go back quickly, ...... here."
In the small door at the corner of the hall came a beautiful girl in a pale yellow dress, only sixteen or seventeen years old, who was the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke, Elena.
"Father, don't stop the knight Niint! ”
The Grand Duke frowned and said, "Since it's Goth's meaning, then you can take him with you!" But I'm afraid these demon hunters will stay here." ”
Niint nodded, turned back and whispered a few words to his companion, and followed the Elena into the inner house.
The place where the Gothic sage lived was a tall minaret, and the only way to reach the top of the tower was a narrow stone staircase in the shape of a spiral. Innit's body is relatively strong, and the armor on his body is particularly heavy, so when he climbs the stairs, the metal armor makes a strange sound of rubbing and colliding with the stone wall from time to time.
Looking at the little daughter of the Grand Duke with light steps in front of her, Innit couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
As soon as I arrived at the mansion, the goth knew about it. This "sage" is really well deserved!
However, he had come to visit the Gothic "sage" on this trip, but he had come to ask for help on the orders of the above. So even if the guy in front of him has revealed a trace of the essence of the "evil stranger", he still needs to be patient and silently wait for a better time to fulfill his promise.
Halfway through, Init finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Elena, I wonder what you're learning from that goth sage?"
"Language, words, and history!" replied Elena, without looking back. The tone was stiff and cold, and he didn't want to talk more.
"Stargazing, I'm afraid!" Init couldn't help but add.
Elena's delicate and thin body trembled slightly, but she still didn't look back, and said, "Not all knowledge is evil! Why, Knight Innit, are you going to kill everyone who has studied astrology?"
Init was silent.
The stone minaret was five stories high, and the Gothic Sage was waiting for them on the fifth floor.
This is a wise old man in a red robe with a pair of monocles on the bridge of his nose. The length of his shawl was snow-white, his face was old, and his loose skin was densely wrinkled on his face. The pupils were brown, the eyeballs were cloudy and dim, only the sharp light flickering under the eyes made him suddenly become a little unearthly.
Niint looked around the small room, and although books, scrolls, and parchment were scattered everywhere, it unexpectedly gave people a messy but not messy feeling. In the corner of the wall, a large bookcase leading to the roof is filled with all kinds of books.
In Demon Hunter 6, although books are not so rare, they are not accessible to ordinary people. And looking at the scale of the collection here, Niint even suspected that even the public library in Hduran City might not have more books than here, and it was more precious!
"You're Goth! I'm Niint, I'm ......," Niint stepped forward and said loudly with a knock on his chest. It's a pity that before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man.
"Of course Wells asked you to come, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me!" A strange smile appeared on the old man's face: "He probably asked you to ask me, is the nightmare that has been haunting him for more than a month true or false?"
The muscles on Niint's face couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Less than an hour after the messenger pigeon from the headquarters of the Demon Hunter of Edran Castle had landed in his hands, this guy who lived alone on a stone spire knew?
Niint asked coldly, "This is your special ability to awaken, is it foreknowledge or divination, or is it spiritualism?"
His tone was full of disdain, because he had judged and punished more than one similar evil person.
The ability of foresight allows the Evil Cultist to sense the impending crisis in advance, so as to evade the pursuit of the Demon Hunter Knight. However, the biggest disadvantage of this ability is that it can only premonition about things related to oneself, and cannot use it to help others.
Divination is a little better than prediction, and you can perceive the future fate of something through ritual props such as animal bones, cards, and crystal balls. Unfortunately, the results of divination are usually very vague auspicious and evil, and it is impossible to see the future as clearly as the prediction.
As for the last kind of spiritualism, it is an evil spell that is extremely cruel and terrifying. Awaken the caster of this ability to imprison the souls of the dead and make them serve themselves. Or probe information, or snoop **, or suck the life of a living person...... Either way, it's the worst evil thing that Niint hates!
The Gothic Sage smiled at the cynicism of the young lawbreaker in front of him, and didn't care, instead took out a crystal ball the size of a goose egg from his wide sleeve and handed it to the other party.
"Everything Wells wants to know, I've etched into this crystal ball. All you need to do is send this crystal ball to him. ”
Elena, who was silent next to her, suddenly widened her eyes and looked at her teacher with a panicked expression. With the protection of the Grand Duke, only the teacher refuses to admit that he has special abilities, and those demon hunters have no way to test the identity of the teacher's "psychic".
But now that the teacher took out the divination crystal ball with his own hands, it was equivalent to admitting his identity in front of the Niint Breaking Knight.
This......
Sure enough, seeing the crystal ball, despite his special mission at the headquarters, Knight Niint couldn't help but pull out his long sword, and the tip of the sword pointed at the position of the old man's heart.
"Hmph, you're an evil one! I think you'd better come with me and meet our Lord Wells for myself!"
"Don't ......" Elena next to her screamed and wanted to rush over to protect her teacher, but was stopped by the old man.
Although the long sword was pointed at his chest, there was not the slightest fear on the face of the Gothic Sage, but he asked lightly: "Sure enough, it is the jealous and hateful Niint! But Knight Niint, I want to ask you, how old do you think I am?"
The other party's calm and composure made Niint a little confused.
This Goth Sage was the only fourth-order holy knight in the headquarters who was regarded as a god in his heart by all the demon hunters. If he really had the ability to foresee, why did he already perceive his arrival and not run away, but waited for him here?
Ni Yingte's handsome face showed a hesitant look, and asked tentatively, "Eighty years old?"
This number is a seventy-year-old demon hunter with an average life expectancy, which is already a not low lifespan.
The Gothic Sage smiled and shook his head, his tone suddenly becoming gloomy.
"I'm only 27 years old!"
Not to mention the Niint knight this time, even that Elena couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim.
Although they have been together for 5 years, she does not know the teacher's secrets.
"Ever since I awakened the psychic power at the age of 13, I've aged several times faster than others. Every time I use my ability to predict, it consumes my life force! Especially in the past five years, I have had the same nightmare every night. Pack...... A horde of powerful demons descended on our world, taking away everything we had and turning everyone into slaves......"
"It's not something I foresaw, it's something our world wants to tell me! Maybe in this world, only a strong man like him can lead the people to fight against those terrible demons in the dream world......"
Knight Niint's face turned pale.
The matter in front of him was clearly out of his control. He couldn't even tell if the abominable evil man was saying something true or false. Although his tempered will told him not to trust any evil person, in his heart, Niinte had a vague feeling that this Gothic sage could still be trusted.
Just as Niint hesitated, the Gothic Sage slipped the crystal ball into his hand, then turned and threw himself out of the narrow window with his arms outstretched, and shouted to the sky.
"Mother World, I have done what you have entrusted me. Ever since you introduced me to that terrible dream, I would like to ask you if there is a future for our world, Mother World, if you hear me, please tell me......"
As he spoke out, a divine milky light began to emerge over him. The Gothic Sage seemed to be completely unconscious, staggering in some terrible dream.
"No...... No...... No...... This should not be the case for our world...... Mother World, please let me see that terrible demon......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Gothic Sage shook his body.
"That's what you look like! Demon ...... I see you......" The Gothic Sage suddenly turned his head with an excited look on his face: "Go and tell Wells that they are in the East...... Ah......h
Niint could see it clearly, and just as the Gothic Sage was feverishly trying to say something, his eyes were suddenly blinded, revealing two huge blood holes.
An eerie voice suddenly sounded in the stone chamber.
"I can't imagine that there is a prophet in this world who can connect to the consciousness of the plane? Hmph, little worm, since you dare to spy on Lord Ben, then go and die!"
As the words fell, the flesh and blood of the Gothic Sage's body began to wither, and almost instantaneously turned into a dry bone. Then, under the horrified gaze of the two, it weathered into gray dust......
And in the distant wizard outpost camp that the two of them couldn't see, the humanoid phantom who was bound by the chain of laws suddenly opened his eyes, poked twice in the void in front of him, and blew again.
But such a slight movement has already led to the backlash of the law chain.
The humanoid phantom snorted, and it took a lot of effort to regain its form without disintegrating.
After a long time, he closed his eyes again, and fell into eternal silence again!
