Chapter 236: The Prophet
James looked at Karen Swordmaster and Austin, "The Divine Council Hall has not been destroyed, more than half of the people have survived, but many people have died of old age, and the current Divine Council Hall is not the same as before." ”
"Is that Great Elder of the Vulture still there?"
James looked at the road, "You'll see him in a little while." ”
Kane was a little excited, "He's the one you're going to take us to?"
James hesitated, "It's not all...... This is now arguably the biggest secret place for the orcs, and you can't come in unless you trust someone you completely, but they don't seem to have any concerns about you, by the way, who are these two?"
"Oh, this is the Karen Sword Saint of the Holy See, and this is Austin, the son of the Holy See Bishop and the disciple of the Karen Sword Saint. ”
James raised his eyebrows and nodded to say hello, if he had suddenly seen such a noble person in the human kingdom before, James would have already bowed and worshipped, but after many fights and killings, his state of mind was very different from before.
"By the way, was that dragon your companion?" James paused, but he couldn't hold back his words.
Kane nodded with a gloomy look in his eyes, "That's a long story, we're a little short of time now, and we have to rush back to the Holy See later." ”
James nodded, and then smiled freely, "No matter what, I'm very happy to see you again, and this is the first time you've saved me?"
Kane also smiled, "I'm glad to see you safe and sound, as for saving you, that's my mission, have you forgotten Clarence's order?"
James tapped him on the shoulder, and everything was silent.
A few people continued to move forward, Kane didn't expect it to be so far, "By the way, are you going to go back to the empire with us?"
James frowned and was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed, "Everything before is like a dream in retrospect, I haven't regarded myself as a prince for a long time, whether you are a prince or a beggar, the enemy will still die if he comes with an axe, and I will talk about it when I can carry that axe one day." ”
Kane smiled, "It seems to me that you are more like a prince now than ever. Immediately thinking of something, he took out a small piece of crystal and handed it to him, "Send me a message when you want to go back, and I will continue to obey the orders of the union." ”
James took the crystal, but shook his head, "If you can't even guarantee your own safety, I don't have the face to go back, but I'll keep this as a souvenir, and I'll return it to you when I go back one day." ”
Kane nodded, and the group stopped talking.
After walking for a few more miles, a huge treehouse that looked like a natural appearance appeared in front of him, in front of the treehouse was a group of people, in the middle were two rattan chairs, respectively, sat a gray-haired old woman and a man with dignity and wisdom, and on either side stood four or five heroic beasts, the previous leopard commander was impressively in the ranks.
Kane knew the identity of the man on the wicker chair almost immediately, because behind him, a pair of golden wings hung safely.
The old woman had a wooden stick in her hand, and her eyes were white as if she were blind, but Kane had a strange feeling that she could see through herself, for the old woman's eyes had never left him since he appeared.
"Finally... Did it appear?"
As they approached, the old woman spoke as if to herself.
The group saluted each other, which made Austin feel a little embarrassed, and he really didn't know what to call these people in front of him, after all, a few days ago they could still be said to be mortal enemies, at least Austin thought so.
"Karen Swordmaster, I haven't heard of it before, but I recognize the sword behind your back, and I remember that there is a guy in the Holy See who is known as the Twilight Sword God, and there are many orcs who died in his hands back then. The Great Elder of the Night Vulture Clan said with a slight teasingness.
Karen Sword Saint knew his identity, although he was also an old man, but in front of these two, there was no doubt that he could only be regarded as a junior, and he bowed when he heard the words, "There is Elder Lao, the family teacher has been dead for many years, and he has also mentioned to me the demeanor of the Great Elder back then. ”
The Great Elder smiled, "Interesting, it seems that in another hundred years, there may be another sword god in the Holy See." ”
Karen Swordmaster was noncommittal, but Austin on the side was a little angry.
However, the Great Elder's eyes had already left them, and he turned his head to stare at Kane with burning eyes.
Kane looked a little uncomfortable for the two of them, and saluted: "Two seniors, I have a friend who is seriously injured and needs urgent treatment, so please make a long story short, and please forgive me if there is any rudeness." ”
The Great Elder didn't speak, the old woman waved her hand, although she didn't speak, the few people standing next to her understood what she meant, one of them saluted Karen Swordmaster and Austin, and then took them away, and the rest of the people followed, leaving only Kane and the Great Elder.
The old woman was still not at ease, and as soon as she raised her hand, a golden light curtain that looked like a real thing instantly enveloped the three of them inside, completely isolated from the outside world.
Kane made her a little nervous about her actions, "If the two seniors have anything to say, just ask, although I am a human race, half of them belong to the beast race." ”
The old woman stared at him for a moment, and then asked categorically, "Where is he?"
Kane asked, "Who?"
The old woman obviously did not like to be verbose, and always spoke straight to the point, "The savior of the world!"
Kane was taken aback, and shook his head after thinking for a while, "I don't know!"
The old woman shook her head, "Young man, you have to understand that he, or her, does not belong to you, but to the entire beast clan, and she was born with hope to save billions of suffering creatures, and we have the obligation and responsibility to ensure her safety. ”
Kane's brows were furrowed, there was already some anger in his heart, but his mouth was still stubborn, "Why do seniors think I must know her?"
The old woman shook her head, "My time is running out, we don't have much time, if I hadn't found out in time to cover up that mark when she came that day, maybe she would have been killed by the powerhouse of the Night Clan, although it is rare for a person of your age to have your current strength, it is not enough to protect her." ”
Kane was so shocked by her words that he didn't know what to say for a while, and then he said, "I don't understand why I have to put everyone's life and death on her alone, and as far as I know she has no special abilities, that prophecy is just a ridiculous joke!"
"Ridiculous joke?" the Grand Elder next to him smiled, "It's hurtful to say such things to the face of two people who have uttered this prophecy. ”
"Huh?" Kane was stunned for a moment, and finally knew the identity of the old woman, the prophet of the Difen tribe who was born with the ability of a divine master, that is, the little girl who held the ceremony back then!
"Looks like you know a lot. The Great Elder's face gradually calmed down.
Kane looked dejected, "I have a wife who is a fox people, and she took us to the fox people, where I learned some legends about the beast people, and then I was accidentally captured into one of the dark realms of the Night Clan, where I met a goblin named Grimmondo, and he told me a lot. ”
The Great Elder nodded, "Then it seems that you should understand the current situation, but there are still many things you don't know, such as the true meaning of the savior." ”
Kane looked up at him, "I just want to know, is that identity a threat to her life?"
The Great Elder smiled, "I know what you mean, but we can't give an answer to your question, since she was born in accordance with the destiny of heaven, life and death can only be determined by heaven, and we can only try to ensure her safety before accepting the mission." ”
"Destiny?!" Kane smirked, "What if I keep her from accepting this mission?"
The old woman shook her head helplessly, "Young man, you overestimate your own strength, even if you are a magical genius, even if you have a golden holy dragon that is about to run out of oil, these are not enough to control everything, I don't have much time, when that mark appears again, you will deeply realize your own insignificance!"
Kane raised an eyebrow, "Do you mean you've been covering up that mark for her?"
The old woman nodded, "I must keep this last glimmer of hope for my people." ”
Kane's eyes sharpened, "Is there any way to obscure that mark forever?"
The old woman shook her head and smiled, "Obsession will lead you to the abyss of pain forever." ”
"So what!" Kane looked firm, "As long as I can keep her alive, even if I suffer for the rest of my life!"
The Great Elder sighed, "Paranoia is really terrible, okay, since you are so confident, then you can come according to your own wishes, but we advise you, don't think that the Moon God Temple is safe, it's just because you haven't met anyone who can break it, once it is broken, everything inside will perish!"
"....!!" Kane was speechless by his words, "how do you know about the Temple of the Moon?"
The Great Elder smiled, "If it weren't for us stopping you, you would have been hunted down to death by the Night Elves." ”
"......." Kane really didn't know what to say, it seemed that everything in this world couldn't escape their eyes, and whether what they said was true or false, would the Temple of the Moon really be shattered?
"What would you do if I brought her?!" After a while, Kane finally asked a question that he was very reluctant to ask.
His strongest means of saving his life now is undoubtedly the Moon God Temple, if even there can't guarantee her safety, then it is very likely that he can really only watch her die when the time comes, and this is by no means what he wants to see, relatively speaking, it may really be safer to send her here, at least they do have abilities that they don't even imagine.
Of course, if he really wanted to send her here, he would not hesitate to accompany her, and he would not give up on her for any reason.
"We want you to understand that she is far more important to us than to you, and I can't tell you exactly how, the only thing you can know is that if there is only one beast left in this world, it must be her. ”
