Someone special?

When Urs heard this, the expression on his face remained more or less natural, but he was slightly stunned in his heart, and secretly thought slowly......

What do you mean, Lord Sage? I seem to remember that when I brought that mad mage friend to meet you in my last life, I didn't hear you say this line?

Could it be you...... What did you see through me?

The young man was a little confused, it is said that Yustina's ability lies in observing the past and the future, so she should not be able to peek into her own mind, right?

That was his biggest secret, and since he came into this world, only Thea has been vaguely aware of the slightest strangeness by relying on intuition and familiarity with him. Although he didn't feel that revealing his secret in the eyes of his companions would really have a negative impact on his journey in this life, it was really difficult to explain......

At the same time, the expression on Yustina's face returned to a kind calm after a brief hesitation. A few slender fingers of her right hand gently caressed the surface of the staff held by her in the palm of her hand, and the pupils of her eyes blinked quietly under the gray forehead, and then said: "As for what is special about you, I think there are two things in general, one is that you have the embodiment of divine grace, as if Wall's will crouched on your shoulders like an eagle. ”

"You say Wall? That Wall, the god of war? Koto's eyes widened at this, and he immediately turned his head to look at the captain of his team.

As a warrior of the clan, the dwarven prince who has finally regained some of his memories still believes in his hearth mother, and respects the dwarf god Oladin from the bottom of his heart, but in general, he knows a little about the name of the god of war and related legends, after all, Wall's purpose is not to encourage his followers to wage meaningless wars, but to see the fighters implement their ideas into the process of battle, as a warrior, he identifies with the purpose of the god of war like most professional mercenaries in the Kasha Desert.

Urs looked back at his companions beside him, and smiled slightly awkwardly, "Actually, I did hear Wall's call in the Church of the God of War, where we fought against Entropy. I don't know why he chose me, but I needed the strength to fight our enemies, but I forgot to mention it to everyone again. ”

"So we have a godly elect in our ranks." Raven's hoarse voice commented coldly, "The adventurous drama introduces the material of divine grace, and although it loses the theme of the story that is purely a celebration of mortals, it is not bad news for the completion of the epic. ”

"Yes, this is not bad news, after all, the nature of power has nothing to do with good or evil or right or wrong, the key is what its owner thinks." Yustina smiled and echoed Miss Poet's opinion, "And about your other specialness, young knight......"

"This is not my empire, and I do not seek that so-called noble title. You can call me by my name, Sage. Taking advantage of the pause in the other party's words, Urs raised his hand and touched the side of his neck, and after thinking about it, he still showed it to Yustina.

He guessed that the "knight" in the mouth of the Grey Court Sage might have two metaphors, one was to imply that his advanced class was generally superior to the Berserker's Raging Knight - but this metaphor was less likely, because he knew that his advancement from the Barbarian to the Raging Knight was due to the game system that came to this world with him for some reason, and the aboriginal NPCs would only have some strange panel data in their minds.

Urs felt that Urs was referring to the brand on the side of her neck, the shackles on her coat of arms, the slave with the title of knight.

He had thought that the symbol on his skin would be irrelevant as he and Thea temporarily left the Empire, but he didn't expect the gray-haired sage to tell him, "But that's your second specialty, young knight." ”

"What?" Urs was dumbfounded.

Your second specialty? Affection is the title that was bestowed upon him by the Earl of the Northland in the past?

No way? He remembered that Kevin Stun had looked solemn when he made himself a slave knight, but then he privately told himself not to care about the superficial mannerisms, and he still knew the nature of the paladin lord better.

But since the sage of the gray courtyard said this, he listened attentively, and then continued to understand from the mouth of Yustina: "Power is only a trick to deceive people, and when there are many people who believe in it, it becomes a force that can be used. The brand on the side of your neck and the experience of being canonized are a testament to the facts, and although you are suspected of playing the side ball, there is no doubt that you are also an official Imperial knight. ”

"But what does this have to do with our future journey?" Urs was puzzled.

"It's about you wanting to meddle in the fate of that empire in the near future." Yustina chuckled, "The road ahead points you to a brutal war in which you will need an army of your own to assist your past lord, your future best friend, the paladin count who led the Northlands, against the army of the undead of Byron Tas. ”

"So war is going to break out in the Northlands?!" Thea was startled as she remembered that all the faces she had known in the past were still living in the Armored City at the back of the Winter Keep, including the Northland Earl who had a good understanding of her and yours.

"So you think Byron Tass will invade the Golden Warbler Empire in the future and will involve us in it?" The young man stared into the sage's eyes and raised his hand to signal Thea to calm down, feeling that he had grasped the point, "If you can, can you tell us when that war broke out?" ”

He was going to use the memories of his previous life to check against Yustina's prophecy.

Unfortunately, the Sage of the Grey Courtyard shook his head: "In a short time—it will be about a few months, and I will be able to reveal the unknown future to you to this point at most. Once the butterfly's wings are stirred, the established future will also be changed, and the magnitude of the variable depends on the intensity of the whip's incitement. ”

"Butterflies? Wing? I don't understand...... "Koto stroked his beard and gave a confused look.

"Wooden heads, Koto." Belling Liss complained on the side, "The meaning of the sage big sister is that she can't reveal too much, otherwise the future she observes will change, because her interference in the future development is so great that it changes qualitatively." ”

"Then she just said that, wouldn't it?" The dwarf turned his head innocently and spread his hands, "Why did you pull butterflies and wings...... Hey, it's hard work to talk to your mage. ”

"Alright, Koto, don't say a word." Urs pressed his palms to the dwarf, his eyes moving back to the Sage's face, the shackled coat of arms looming out from the cloak of shadowscales on the skin on the side of his neck.

His intentions seemed to be revealed in his eyes, as if he wanted to ask the sage in front of him, whether the identity of that slave knight was of any important use to him?

After all, the other party deliberately pointed out this fact.

Yustina looked into his gaze and replied, "I can't give you a specific direction for the future, but I can offer you a suggestion to continue your adventure, find a hidden treasure and obtain it." ”

"A treasure hunt, sounds like fun!" The little dwarf girl said with great interest.

"But what is that treasure? Why is it worth it? Stone Fist, who had been silent, finally spoke to put forward the focus of his concern, "Venerable Sage, if conditions permit, can you answer these two questions for us?" ”

The words of the half-orc warrior monk are also what the young man wants to ask.

"That treasure is the legacy of the pioneers of the Secret Order......," Yustina replied, her gentle gaze blinking with a hint of mystery, "it contains the treasure left by Calvinland, the golden ring called the 'Ring of the Warbler'......"

Warbler's Ring—no wonder she mentioned that I need an army to intervene in that future war! Urs suddenly understood the intentions of the Grey Court Sage.

He knew the legend about the ring, and legend has it that before his death, Emperor Calvin Land made a magical contract with a group of knights who followed him in the four directions, so that those loyal knights would also be incarnated in the subspace plane of a golden ring in the form of spirits after death, so that the future emperor of the empire could use the golden ring to summon them who had been transformed into heroic soldiers to serve the empire again when needed.

But Calvinland seems to have changed his mind about something before he died, and instead gave the ring to a mysterious man whose name has never been left in history, and the clue to the legend of the Ring of the Warbler was interrupted in that place, and many bards who sought the truth of the rumors could not help but feel sorry for the fact that they could write a few brilliant poems on that subject.

Since Yustina mentioned the Ring of the Warbler, she didn't intend to hide anything, and then told the people of the Thorn Squad about the function of the ring as Urs knew. Everyone present had heard of that legend more or less, and now that it was confirmed by the sage, it was natural that they all felt something about it.

"But where are we going to find that thing?" Koto scratched his helmet, "His Majesty the King of the Clan once taught his warriors......"

"Your father." Bellinglith whispered to him.

"Oh yes, it's my father now!" The dwarf suddenly realized, "Uh...... It's all Gungrus's fault! That hateful Frost Giant leader is still some damn Doomsday Apostle! ”

"In short, we need enough detailed information and a plan for a trip." Stonefist heard what he wanted to say before being interrupted by the dwarf girl, "Otherwise, we will be like headless flies, without a specific goal, we will not be able to improve the efficiency of our actions." ”

"It's like a brainless golem that doesn't get the instructions of its master, so it doesn't know what it's supposed to do." A hoarse sneer leaked out from under the hood of the black robe and streamed down the air into the ears of the orc monk.

Stone Fist looked sideways, looking at the Miss Drow poet who always seemed to look at him unpleasantly, and couldn't help but wonder how he had provoked her.

Why does she always have trouble with herself? It can't be because I really owe her money, right? Just like Koto, he lost his memory, what did he owe her before he lost his memory?

The orc monk couldn't say anything in her heart, but she finally felt inexplicable about it, and when she thought about it, her recent offense seemed to be nothing more than the farce she had had in the tunnels leading to the Shadow Caverns in the Spotted Axe Forest. It's been so long, and he really didn't mean it at the time......

Yu Stina's gaze lingered for a moment between the warrior monk and the poet lady, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth smiled lightly with a hint of foreknowledge, and then said the focus of everyone's concern: "If you want to find and obtain the treasure including the Ring of the Warbler, the place you need to go is the Dark Realm. ”

"Oh, the Dark Regions?" Koto listened, and his not-so-bright brain was rarely clever, and he immediately turned to the crow, "Hey, poetess, isn't the dark region your hometown?" Maybe you can lead the way for all of us? ”

As he spoke, his eyes were also full of anticrisy towards the poet lady in a black robe and hood, but unexpectedly, the pair of dark purple eyes under the brim of the other party's hat were suddenly as sharp as knives, and the cold gaze was like two sword blades with cold light stabbing straight towards his honest face.

The dwarf gasped, and swore to himself that the fire was on the fire, the most terrible look he had ever seen from the poet's young lady's eyes these days.

"What? Why are you suddenly angry......" So he looked stupid, and hurriedly turned his head, and a proposal that was about to say his mouth had to be stopped.

Fortunately, the itinerary of the team did not really have to be guided by the poet lady in the black robe.

Yustina said that she had planned a path for everyone in advance, but before that, she pointed out in words that the user of the Ring of the Warbler must have at least a noble title no less than that of Lord Knight in the Golden Wing Empire, otherwise the golden ring that could summon the Heroic Knights of the Age of the Ancestors would not recognize a person who had nothing to do with the Empire as its bearer.

As for the treasure hidden deep in the dark realm, the Sage of the Grey Courtyard also revealed that it was actually the legacy left by the pioneers of the Secret Order for future generations, and a thick rock wall called the "Gate of the Forsaken" by the inhabitants of the underground blocked and protected the entrance to the treasure ruins, and only the inheritors of the Origin Blood could open the way to the treasure house by dripping their own blood as the key to open the door.

Urs's twisted knightly honor played a beautiful sidekick that coincided with the restrictions on the use of the Ring of the Warbler, and Koto's bloodline inherited the gift of the Blood of the Origin directly from his father.

Dorothy unconsciously lowered her head and shrank into a corner that was not easily noticeable to others. The red-haired Miss Warlock remained silent, quietly looking at the people who were actively communicating and discussing with the gray-haired sage, and wondered uneasily if she had been temporarily forgotten by them.

She thought to herself, her aqua-blue gaze falling low to her feet—but just as her thoughts were about to wander in a pessimistic direction, the sage's voice suddenly passed over her and reached another creature behind her with a more subtle sense of existence:

"Abel."

Abel, the name of the mechanical mage who had stood on the mountain path of the limestone peak to answer the group.

The sage's voice immediately reminded everyone present, and everyone suddenly remembered that the mechanical man with the appearance of a steel golem was also standing in the courtyard corridor at the feet of everyone, just because it stood behind everyone like a silent golem guard, and did not make a single disturbing sound the whole time.

It wasn't until this moment, everyone's eyes turned to it in unison with the sage's voice, and the black cat pet named Thoros finally opened its mouth wide and yawned as it lay lazily on its shoulder.

Its helmet-shaped head lit up with two red dots at the slit of its eyes, and its respectful gesture finally reacted with its physical movements, making a sound of steel armor trembling, and it bowed to Featherstina with a sound of shaking: "Honorable Mentor." ”

"Just as I told you and what I had suggested to you." Yustina looked at her apprentice and said softly, "Now that the time is ripe, it's time for you to part with me and leave my side to travel with the Thorn Squad......"
