Chapter 191: Rykensin's Shroud
"Finally something I can understand......
At the card table, Xu Nan's waist was straight, and he was shuffling the cards expressionlessly on the surface, but in fact, he was happy in his heart.
The topics that the big guys talked about before were too difficult, but now they finally talked about what he could understand.
And it's what he cares more about-after Qin Lele landed in the heavenly realm, he never contacted him again, and he was still a little worried.
Sure enough, gossip is more interesting, even people at different levels can have a common language.
β¦β¦
Rykensingh drank half a glass of water and said slowly:
"I don't know much about McCann than you do; As for the Prophecy of the Ice Throne, I warned you a long time ago that this thing is not credible. β
Li Oumeng was still in high spirits, and he said seriously: "But both Ferlando and Bono are very respectful of the Prophecy of the Ice Seat. β
Lykensin blinked, "So they both suffered defeats. β
"If you want to find McCann's secret on the Ice Throne Prophecy, you might as well buy more McCann's treasure chests and ask him directly."
Li Oumeng laughed, and then shook his head:
"It's really better to buy a few more treasure chests."
He turned to Lawrence:
"Since the Prophecy of the Ice Seat is considered a lie, what about the Stone Scroll of Destiny, which is the same name as it?"
Rykenshin was also interested, this arcanist was a strong man who specialized in prophecy, otherwise he would not have been able to participate in the interpretation of the prophecy of the ice seat in the first place.
Stephen Sand's Stone Scroll of Destiny was once a treasure that attracted the attention of the gods.
Lawrnes' face was as gloomy as ever, and his voice was very low:
"The Stone Scroll of Destiny is real."
"I've been fortunate enough to see some of the future and then I've benefited a lot."
"It's a pity that it disappeared with Barbera."
Rykensingh nodded, he also knew a little about Stephen Sand's past.
After Jules left, Stephen Sand's three seats were Ansuli of the Red Windmill, Lawrence of the White Tower, and Barbera the Prophet of the Palais of Halsay. Legend has it that the Stone Scroll of Destiny left by Jules was in the hands of Barbera, but Barbera suffered a curse of fate because of her excessive interpretation of the contents of the Stone Scroll of Destiny, and her whereabouts are still unknown.
Many people believe that Barbera is dead, and the Destiny Stone Scroll was taken away by the mastermind behind her with her; As for who is behind the scenes, everyone has made a list, and the list entries are basically the well-known back-breakers of the multiverse - the nine colors of the shadow world, the Ferlandor of the heavenly realm, and the devil king of hell......
Seriously, if the pots on their bodies are true, then these big people must have at least two dozen doppelgangers with the strength of the deity to be able to do it.
Straight to the point.
Xu Nan knew something about Barbera, he once went with Emma to meet the Black Witch on the isolated island of the Sea of Damned, she knew Romang and Ansuli very well, and claimed to have the Stone Scroll of Destiny, and was the prophet Barbera who was sealed by Ansule.
But Xu Nan always felt that things were not so simple. If that woman was really Barbera herself, Ansuli's seal would not have been so hasty.
Stephen Sand is also a secret.
While he was thinking this, he heard Lawnes suddenly say mysteriously:
"Actually, the Destiny Stone Roll is not Barbera the one I watch the most."
"It's the hostess of the tea party."
Lykensing and Leomon were stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
The hostess of the tea party is naturally Ansuli.
This kind of topic is a bit sensitive, and Lawrence just pretended to mention it casually, but in fact, he has been observing the reactions of Li Oumeng and Lykensingβbut what he doesn't know is that Xu Nan has also been observing him.
Because magic is banned, in Xu Nan's eyes, the three legends are just ordinary people.
Although he can't use the Psychic Vision, his ability to observe words and colors over the past few days has allowed him to observe a lot of additional information - for example, Lykensin doesn't seem surprised by the news, he should know some inside story about Ansuli and the Destiny Stone Scroll; Leo was more surprised, he obviously didn't know much about Stephen Sand's story.
"The Stone Scroll of Destiny is the wisest scroll I've ever seen."
Lawrence sighed softly:
"If I'm still in Stephen Sand, maybe my path to the Great Lich will be smoother."
Lykensin shrugged: "Who made you unwilling to accept the conditions of the Empire." β
Lawrence said calmly:
"Stephen Sand, although he originated in the Arcane Empire, is not a vassal of the Empire to this day, and on this point, I agree with Ansuli's approach, we can be allies, we can be partners, we can be comrades-in-arms, but we are not your subordinates."
Lykenxin took another sip of water, and without saying anything, Xu Nan poured water silently.
"By the way, when are you going to be back?"
Lawrence shifted his words and asked Lykensing.
Lykensingh took out a scalpel and made a boring gesture on his wrist: "It's almost there." β
Li Oumeng disagreed:
"Every time I say it's fast, I've been asking this for hundreds of years."
Rykensingh slashed his wrist, and blood flowed out.
"This time it's different, we've got in touch with the First Fleet."
Li Oumeng's spirit was shocked, and his face was full of gossip: "Zhushen Fleet? Are they finally coming back? β
Lawrence laughed playfully:
"If they hadn't been late, the battle of Icecrown Nebula might have been different."
"But the truth has been forged, and they are late after all."
"It's five thousand years late, and now it's okay to come back?"
Lykensing's continued to make precise little cuts on his wrists, one after the other.
He looked a little distracted.
"Being late doesn't always have to be bad."
At the table, the three were silent again.
While they all believe that what is said here will not reach the ears of those who should not be listening, there are some things that should never be mentioned too much.
The return of the Arcane Empire was a tacit event for everyone, and even Ferlandor, who had exiled them in the first place, couldn't stop it. It's just that the exact time of his return is always a mystery.
The appearance of Yutuosang, that amazing and peerless impact, sounded the alarm for the Heavenly Divine Kingdom that had been comfortable for a long time.
The Arcane Empire believes that this is the death knell for the gods.
At this juncture, the movements of the Arcane Empire's many main fleets become crucial. Naturally, Rykensing's is also point-to-point.
But now he looked quite puzzled:
"I remember I did remove all the spells...... Therefore, there should be no pain immunity. β
"Why do I make so many cuts and I don't feel pain?"
Xu Nan silently spoke:
"You're cutting my wrist."
Lykensin was shocked: "What about my wrist?" β
Xu Nan: "...... Still drawing cards there. β
Mrs. Smith said that the master had a habit of dismembering the body, and she was right!
In fact, when Laikenxin made a few blind strokes on his wrist just now, he was almost frightened, but fortunately, it was just a few scratches, and Xu Nan could still bear the pain.
It's just the cost of listening to gossip.
"I'm sorry to ......" Lykenshin took out a roll of shroud and skillfully bandaged Xu Nan.
Xu Nan's eyelids jumped, thanked him, and took half a step back.
At this time, the three bigwigs seemed to notice Xu Nan himself, instead of treating him as a card dealing machine.
"Are you a disciple of Romans? That earthling? β
Lawrence seemed to remember something, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he wanted to see through Xu Nan's heart.
That gaze made Xu Nan instinctively feel stinging.
Even if the other party didn't use any spells, the pressure of the legend alone made him feel like a great enemy.
It's a biological instinct, it's the fear of herbivores when they encounter predators.
Xu Nan nodded without being humble or arrogant.
Li Oumeng glanced at Lawrence in surprise and greeted Xu Nan with a smile:
"I've heard some interesting anecdotes about Earth before."
"Can you explain some of that to us?"
"By the way, I've heard before that my spells are popular on Earth, are they really fake?"
Xu Nan only felt that the pressure on his body suddenly lightened.
He looked at Li Oumeng with some gratitude, and then said with some humility:
"Mr. Li Oumeng, your spells are indeed very popular, because they are very practical, and many earthlings pursue pragmatism......"
"It's just that there are a small number of people who are not right-minded and like to make a fortune with your spells."
He picked up some good words, and Li Oumeng was very happy to hear them.
The big guy didn't mind that someone was using his spells for money, and he seemed to care more about whether his spells were accepted by everyone.
"Look, what you call [Li Oumeng, who can only build houses], still has some contributions."
He looked triumphantly at Lykensings and Lawrnes.
The two were silent.
Soon, the topic shifted away from Xu Nan, and they chatted for a while, except for Lawrence who obviously paid more attention to Xu Nan, the other two legends were normal.
They talked about the Alchemy of the Gods and asked about Lawrence Stephen Sand's recent condition.
Lawrence said a little perfunctorily, "It's all clowns", and there was no follow-up.
Xu Nan dealt cards one after another for more than an hour.
Soon, a dull bell rang.
A figure began to stand up and take his leave.
The tea party is over.
"Goodbye."
"Farewell."
"Next ......"
Similar whispers abounded. After the card-playing trio also said goodbye to each other, they each disappeared.
Lawrence also walked very happily, and the difficulties that Xu Nan expected did not appear.
He was the only one left in the old sycamore tree house.
He removed the Shroud of Lykensing, and found that the healing effect of the thing was amazing, and the wound was gone, not even a scar.
So he silently picked up the shroud from the ground and examined it carefully.
[Rykensin's Shroud: The masterpiece of the Master of Dismemberment, as long as there is still a breath, wrap it in this shroud, and it will heal instantly.] Durability: 7γ
"So fierce?" Xu Nan was shocked.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded behind him.
"Xu Nan? Why are you here? β
Romans looked a little surprised.
Xu Nan sorted out the playing cards in his hand and said with a smile: "Teacher." β
"I'll help deal the cards."
Romans thoughtfully:
"Looks like the two of them quarreled?"
"When did you come here?"
"How's the tea party?"
Xu Nan quickly said his true feelings. For Romans, he has nothing to hide.
"Today's tea party was a real success."
"I was just going to try it once, but they all asked for a few more tea parties like this."
Romans smiled and asked:
"In the future, a similar tea party may be held once a week, if you have time, how about the old sycamore tree house be left to you to take care of?"
Xu Nan was overjoyed.
He knew that Romans was deliberately creating opportunities for himself to get along with the bigwigs.
Where else could it be easier to form friendships than in the card room?
The unique environment of the tea party also made everyone relatively equal, which was very beneficial to Xu Nan's future development.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Xu Nan was sincerely grateful.
"Come on, let's have dinner together."
Romang beckoned a group of household elves to clean up and led Xu Nan to the other side of the castle.
"I heard you recently visited Ron's burial chamber?"
"You can tell me what you have learned."
His tone was casual.
Xu Nan nodded, even if Luo Mang didn't ask, he had to make it clear about this trip to the Frost Giant's Tomb.
After all, it's the thigh behind his back, and the matter is related to the goddess of ice and snow, so it's not okay if you don't make it clear.
After listening to Xu Nan's narration, Luo Mang seriously criticized:
"You made a mistake."
Xu Nan was a little surprised: "What went wrong?" β
Romang shook his head and said, "You are still too young when it comes to the handling of the Divine Descent. β
"Fortunately, you are lucky to have the breath of the Throne of Fear to suppress the Messiah for you, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"In fact, you have to be a little more open-minded when it comes to dealing with similar incidents."
"Divine descent is very difficult to kill, but that doesn't mean the seal is the only way."
Xu Nan bowed solemnly:
"Ask the teacher for advice."
Romans said meaningfully:
"In addition to seals, you can also eat them."
"If I'm not miscalculated, you've wasted an opportunity to advance [Gluttonous Nature]."
"It's a pity, it's a pity......"
I don't know if he is regretting the delicacy of the divine descent, or if he is regretting that Xu Nan's specialty has not been able to advance smoothly.
