Chapter 60: Prophecy
The believer walked to the door of the store and pointed to the road to the right, "I have a friend who specializes in this business. ”
"Specialized?" Tarrant put down his glass and followed to the door, "What kind of profession is this?"
"A prophet who can offer some advice on your past and present. ”
"Prophet ......", the prophet can see something that has happened or will happen with the help of the power of magic, but this is only for a short time, and it is a blurry image, the prophet will interpret those supernatural images according to his own understanding, usually those explanations are not constructive, Tarrant does not believe in this profession, and he does not want to refuse the kindness of the believer, so he can only agree, "Where I am, I will visit." ”
"Turn right to the third intersection and turn left, then turn right on the second street, there is a small alley in the middle, go through it, come to an intersection, turn left, walk through two streets, a very small house, there are signs all around, there is no hut, you should be able to see it when you get there. ”
"Wait...... ...... to the right Three Crossroads...... Turn left on the second street......"
"It's right, right, I'll repeat, go out here and go to the third intersection and turn left, then the second street turn right, there's a small alley in the middle......" Although the believer said very seriously, and gestured, Tarrant was immediately confused.
"It's actually quite simple," the elf interrupted the believer, "there's a shop over there called 'Dream Diamond', and it's right behind it. ”
"Ah, I see," Tarrant clapped his high-five, "thank you." ”
The believer looked at the elf and then at Tarrant, "You really understand? ”
"That shop is a famous landmark in Siant, and most people know it. ”
"Well, well, I'm too earthy", the believer folded his arms and exclaimed in disappointment, "I don't know what is left in the world other than faith, how about our trip, Silver Lake Forest, or Iberon, it's been a long time." ”
The elf's smiling face suddenly became alert, she glared at the believer, then turned her eyes to Tarrant, and without speaking, the believer immediately realized something and smiled awkwardly.
What they were going to talk about seemed to be classified, and Tarrant waved goodbye in a familiar way, "Ah, I'd love to meet the prophet, farewell." ”
"Welcome back," the believer sent him out the door, "to the right, remember not to go wrong." ”
"Can't be wrong", Tarrant waved his hand and walked in the direction of the luxury store, the whole of Serenzo knew where it was, it was just the prophet, Tarrant was curious to see what level of prediction he could reach.
Mages like to add their hobbies to the name of their profession, so they are divided into various departments of mages, molding, alchemy, elemental, summoning, necromancy, illusion, prophecy, etc., and they are not very different in nature, they can all remember the same spells, and cast them without distinction, which only represents the mage's casting preference, but the mages are very mindful of these names.
Shapemages are mages who like to condense mana, typical spells are magic missiles, meteorstorms, and attack enemies with energy, alchemists love the process of infusing magic into objects, they like to make magic equipment, and they are proud of the famous works in their hands, elemental mages are very fascinated by various natural elements, they imitate the generation of natural energy to cast spells such as fire explosion, frost, and thunder, summoning mages arise from the "origin" After the battle, they are very enthusiastic about cross-dimensional summoning and xeno-plane summoning, and the alien beasts that can occasionally be seen on the redstone are the products left over from their cross-dimensional energy dislocation; necromancers usually suffer from special mental fetishes, they are isolated, rarely show up, rare and disgusting, and cross the territory of death all day long; illusion mages like to trick others with illusions, usually appearing in the form of magicians, invisible, phantom, Spells such as clones are their forte, and the prophetic mages are the most different from other mages in that they do not advocate attack, and like to study space, time, and the future, such as plane teleportation, which is their greatest interest in modern times.
Prophecy mages also have another name, white mages, because most of the magical energy balls they chant are white, teleportation, plane teleportation, maze, time stop, etc., so they don't mind this title either. In general, this kind of mage hides in his research room and does something that normal people can't understand, and occasionally some mages do some prediction business in order to make a living, but most of them cheat money.
On the side of the "Dream Diamond", Tarrant saw a small alley, he walked through, the street behind was lined with small shops on both sides, looking at the signs, there was no prediction, he looked left and right at the storefront, they were all workshops making small equipment, only one hut had no signboards, the door was ajar, it seemed to be a dwelling.
The believer said that the place should be this place, and Tarrant looked back, and did not miss any shop, just this unmarked house, he walked to the door, knocked twice, the door was knocked open, and the light was very dim inside, and he asked, "Is there anyone?"
"Please come in, knight. ”
As if he already knew that Tarrant was coming, Tarrant pushed open the door, and the light shone in, and the scruffy room was littered with garbage, stakes, rags, glassware, and a plush carpet in the middle, on which the prophetic mage sat with a rough wooden table in front of him, and a rag on the table covered a spherical object.
Tarrant closed the door, and all of a sudden he could only see the mage in the room, and he approached the mage, "You know I'm coming?"
The mage sat cross-legged with his head bowed, a very wide black cloak draped over his body, he was covered from head to toe by the cloak, in an exaggerated triangular shape, and the mage said slowly: "I can't predict who will step through the door next, there is no spell that can predict what a person who has nothing to do with me will do, I can hear it from your footsteps." "Although he speaks very slowly, he is full of energy, and he should be about thirty years old.
Tarrant sat cross-legged in front of the mage, "What do you hear from my footsteps?"
"Putting your feet down means that you are very strong, have been physically trained, the army or an adventurer, the hesitant pace means that you are looking for something, but you are not sure, you are wandering in front of my house, many people looking for me are like this, and etiquette, you have a good cultivation. ”
"Maybe, then how do you know I'm a knight?"
The mage was silent for a while, then spoke, "Haven't you heard of forensics?"
...... Identification, using it on people or objects, can know some basic information, Tarrant thought that the mage was deducing that he was a knight, but he didn't expect it to be this crappy spell. Tarrant no longer playing with these boring details, he asked, "Do you know what I'm here for?"
"I don't know, I can't steal your mind. ”
The mage was at least honest, and Tarrant asked casually, "Something about the expeditionary force." ”
"Expeditionary Force, distant topic", he was silent again, and suddenly said, "Do you think it was caused by the Spirit-Sucking Monsters?"
The other party directly broke Tarrant's mind, and Tarrant was surprised that he couldn't answer, and he didn't know what to say.
"Judge the Paladin, make the Psick a rival, this creature is rare on the ground, only people with special feelings for the Psivain will do it", he has cast a forensic spell, already knowing Tarrant's profession, "The Expeditionary Force is a topic that many people avoid, I have nothing to say. ”
"You don't know either?" a prophetic mage lightly admits that he doesn't know, much to Tarrant's surprise, and he wishes the mage could barely say something, even if it's a ridiculous clue.
"It's a big thing, after so many years no one has found a clue, and of course I can't either. ”
The sentence sounded a bit awkward, and Tarrant asked cautiously, "What do you know?"
"No one can't, and neither can I. ”
The mage's words clearly had another meaning, not without clues, and Tarrant leaned forward, "Please, even if it's a small clue, it's important to me." ”
"Knights, hundreds of thousands of troops are missing, no one has found a clue, this is a clue. ”
Tarrant shook his head, he had thought about this question for a long time, but there was no answer, spells or traps could not make such a large army disappear, there was no solution.
"There are so many witty adventurers on the mainland, how difficult will it be to find clues to hundreds of thousands of people?"
"So it's mysterious, it's almost impossible. ”
The mage snorted coldly, "Think about it another way, you can get more." ”
If you think differently, you don't know anything, and you won't get anything but all kinds of impossibilities.
"Have you ever wondered if someone has already gotten the truth, but it hasn't been made public? ”
"If you know it, don't you tell it?! It's impossible, who can hide this matter. "This possibility is beyond the scope of Tarrant's comprehension, who can hide such a big event, and for what purpose, if such a big event is to be buried, it must be agreed by the highest echelons of all empires, this possibility is infinitely close...... No, equal to zero, it's ridiculous that they gathered an army of hundreds of thousands of people and then made them disappear.
"It's just my guess, I don't know anything else. ”
Tarrant reflected on the mage's speculation, and it didn't make sense that if the truth was concealed, it wouldn't do any party any good.
"Are you here to ask about this?"
Tarrant came back to his senses, nothing else, he looked at the mysterious mage, "Help me see my current situation." ”
The mage stretched out his arm, revealing that the skin of the cloak was smooth, but the color was strangely grayish-black, about thirty years old, the complexion was very dark, and he removed the rag on the table, a clear glass ball.
The prophet placed his hands on the orb of glass, and muttered the ancient saying in his mouth, and there was a chaotic stirring in the orb, and the hoarfrost of the ice and snow swirled in a circle within the sphere, "Put your hand on the ball." ”
Tarrant complied, and the glass ball was unexpectedly cold, like a snowball on a winter day, making people lose feeling in their fingers.
"Your target is confused...... the mage seems to see something in the orb, searching for it, "you're standing at a fork in the road, not knowing where to go......
It was the state of the morning, and Tarrant had already had his own direction and continued to fight for Maxine's cause.
"The road you walked was covered with thorns and blood, and you watched your teammates leave......"
The painful scene of Tingwu Mountain flashed in front of Tarrant's eyes, he lowered his head and looked at the carpet, Mara's blood was splashed on his face, body, everywhere, Zi Fenglan's breath filled his nose, she shouted Tarrant's name, but Tarrant could only watch weakly, he trembled, and the surroundings felt extremely cold.
"Your path forward...... Shrouded in darkness...... You chose ...... Light...... Dark ......" the mage's voice continued to rise, repeating "...... Light...... Dark ......"
Tarrant anxiously waited for what was next, and he chose ...... Darkness?would he turn his back on Maxine......
The mage suddenly withdrew his hand, the hoarfrost in the glass ball quickly calmed down, returned to the previous transparency, the cold suddenly disappeared, the glass ball returned to normal temperature, and the mage asked in shock, "Have you made a contract?"
"What contract?" Tarrant never made an agreement.
"You have a spiritual connection in your body, with a certain ...... Don't you know?"
"No, I didn't make a contract with anyone. ”
The mage's hands withdrew his robes, "That may be in a certain ceremony, you don't know it yourself, I can only tell you what I see, your future, alternate between light and darkness." ”
"What do you mean......
"I've never seen this, I've never seen it, you...... It's a dead man......"
