Chapter 20: The Master of Prophecy (1) [I wish myself a happy birthday.]
Ain had explained to Marrington how to touch the Arcane Lock on his door. Different spellcasters can arrange their own style of arcane locks, and in addition to providing the function of locking and calling the police after being brute-forced, each arcane lock will generally be set up with a function similar to a doorbell, directly reminding the caster who arranged the arcane lock that someone has come to the door.
Ain saw that Malrington had something to look for, so he didn't go to review those unpopular second-ring spells, and directly unlocked the arcane lock on the door.
"Master, the city lord sent someone to bring you a notice." Marrington handed over a white strip that was not very wide, and Aine frowned slightly, and raised his hand to unleash a zero-ring trick reading magic on the white stripe.
Several magic runes appeared on the surface of the white stripe, and although outsiders couldn't read it, Ain clearly read the meaning of what was written on the white strip sent by someone.
"The man has arrived, talk in detail"
Aine didn't expect that this master of prophecy in Vincent's mouth would come to Winterfell at such a critical moment.
On the twenty-eighth day after the Midwinter Festival, two days later will be the next month of ice melt, which is the month of the snowstorm in the year of winter.
Can you show yourself a little bit that the snow disaster is about to happen in front of you? Ain's mind is constantly thinking, because for him, a stable external environment is the time when he can grow stronger, achieve many goals that he has not completed before, and make up for his regrets.
I'm afraid it won't work. In the end, Aine shook his head helplessly, because the previous matter of spatial rifts and magic energy can still be excused by ancient books, and the hints about the future snow disaster here are purely within the scope of astrology. What's more, in the previous life game, no one had seen any signs of snow disasters from the stars, and you must know that the original era name of this year was a harvest year that was released after the Midwinter Festival not long ago.
As for prophecy? And what soothsayer would use his precious slots to predict the weather? What excuse did Ain use to explain? Not to mention, a prophet who can accurately predict this kind of thing must at least have a quasi-legendary strength......
At this point, I hope to get the attention of this master of prophecy. Known as the master of prophecy, he must have at least a strength of more than eight rings, maybe he will be able to use prophecy after paying attention, and maybe he can really launch one or two by himself.
……
"Your Excellency Vincennes, Your Excellency the Viscount of Kent." After Aine got the news, he thought for a moment and quickly changed his clothes, directly summoned a war horse with his summoning mount, and rushed to the city hall.
The guards outside the town hall had obviously gotten Brady's meaning, and Ain just flashed his coat of arms and let him go.
It was still the room where Brady was working, but there was another old man in a white robe, and this old man was still sitting in Brady's original position.
Obviously, this man is the master of prophecy mentioned by Vincent.
"Oh, Second Ring?" The Master of Prophecy didn't say anything when Ain saluted, but after a moment, he said something like talking to himself, and raised his head.
"They called me Rutherford a long time ago, so you can call me the same." It was only when the Master of Prophecy raised his head and spoke to Ain that Ain saw his face.
Traces of the years...... Noticing anything else, the first thing Ain noticed was that there were many traces of time on the face of the master prophecy known as Rutherford.
You know, as a high-level spellcaster, there are really many, many ways to maintain your youth. Whether it's prolonging your life, or applying the arcane arts of the school of change to your face, you can keep yourself looking young.
And the master of prophecy in front of him, named Rutherford, has either really gone through a lot of years, or his research on arcane has made him ignore his face.
Either way, it can only point to one point - this master prophet named Rutherford is absolutely genuine.
"Master Rutherford." Aine didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly subconsciously performed a special etiquette for mages that could reflect respect for his ancestors.
Master Rutherford's eyes lit up when he saw Ain's salute, but he immediately regained his composure.
And no one noticed this detail.
Aine didn't realize that the ritual he performed would be difficult to find after the destruction of the Arcanist Empire. The Arcanist Empire was destroyed, and the glory days of the Arcane fell with the collapse of the Empire. Many of the most famous arcane theories have been lost to the dust of the collapse of empires. In the Fourth Age, there was no longer respect for the sages in the arcane realm, only the urge to compete with each other. In the Fourth Age, arcane and powerful spellcasters became central points of contention for secular power.
"Yes, that's good......," the Master of Prophecy bowed his head again, "Vincent said your name is Ain, isn't it?" ”
Ain nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
Vincent's gaze at Aine was already getting more and more surprised, although he couldn't understand the mystery of this ritual, but he could clearly feel the breath from the second layer of the magic net.
It's only been less than a month, and the young man in front of him, who is the heir to the hereditary baron's title, has barely connected to the first layer of the magic net, and now, although the degree of connection to the second layer of the magic net is not so stable, but how can it be said that it can be regarded as the level of being able to basically connect the second layer of the magic net!
It may be an exaggeration to say that this achievement is unprecedented, but the growth rate of Ain's magic net attainment can definitely be amazing.
What's more, if Ain didn't know about Rutherford, the master prophecy, Vincent himself knew it. Rutherford is a remnant of the Arcanist Empire, although when the Empire fell apart, the current Master of Prophecy did not have any outstanding arcane achievements, but after the fall of the Arcanist Empire, he was not depressed at all by the fall of the Empire, so he has today's achievements.
In a way, the remnant of the empire is very dissatisfied with the current development of arcane and even disdainful. At the same time, the disdain for the development of arcane is equally effective for spellcasters of this era, especially mages.
While Vincent was still sighing, Rutherford spoke again, and said a little slowly, "I don't know Master Ain, have you felt any changes recently?" ”
"Mutation?" When the mage heard this word, he was also suddenly shocked.
In Ain's mind, the first thought was whether this master of prophecy, who didn't know what arcane attainments had, had completely seen through himself, but this idea was quickly rejected by Ain.
It is true that the human heart cannot be seen through if you want to see through it, and even with the help of the power of spells, it is extremely difficult to read the heart of a spell caster without saying anything.
Then there is another possibility, which can still be attributed to the prophetic power of the Master of Prediction - he had predicted that Ain would come up with some of the mutations that he himself observed before meeting Ain.
