Chapter 774: News from Thales
"It turned out to be Edwina, I haven't seen her for a few years, but I didn't expect the little girl who was introverted and silent at the beginning to become the famous 'Iceberg Lieutenant General'...... Fate is always like this, full of accidents. Thales said with a smile as he looked at her when he heard Edwina's words.
Edwina just nodded to him, then leaned over to Abner and whispered, "Thales Reynolds, tutor at the University of Lemburg, senior deacon of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom...... According to Ms. Isabella, he was lucky enough to get the main ingredient for the 'Prophet' potion three years ago and was successfully promoted. ”
Lucky to get the material? This is the clue you got from the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" reward!
However, since he is a tutor at the University of Lemburg and a senior deacon of the Church of Knowledge, he should have been referring to the Servant of the God of Knowledge......
Seeing that Abner was still on guard, and that the "Darkless Spear" in the hands of the black-armored heroic spirit could be thrown at him at any time, Thales praised Abner's caution and further explained: "Before entering the first layer of the scene, I received an oracle asking me to assist the holder of the 'Light Chaser' to achieve the final victory......
Speaking of this, he glanced at the "Black-Armored Girl" and continued, "So after my Heroic Spirit found out that you had summoned a servant from the 'Sun' realm, they immediately rushed over. ”
The god of knowledge has sent a "prophet" to assist me? Oh, this is still "playing" that one...... If I hadn't discovered the problem through Miss Temperance's reminder, I would have been able to believe that the god of knowledge was actually in favor of Russell's resurrection.
While Abner was pondering in his heart, his servant, "Spearman" Leah, said solemnly: "My lord, I have notarized his words, and the result is that he did not lie. ”
Hearing this, Abner came back to his senses and nodded to the black-armored girl before looking at Thales and saying, "I need to verify it." ”
"How do you want to verify?" Thales asked with interest.
Abner did not reply, but set up a ritual of prayer to the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" while keeping the "spearmen" on guard.
At this time, Thales, who could see what Abner was doing, kindly reminded him: "The 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' is not allowed to pray to the gods or hidden beings. ”
"I know that, but I'm the exception." Abner, who has a "pure white eye" and is well aware of the tower's "bullying the weak and fearing the hard", replied indifferently.
Soon, Abner skillfully carved the emblem of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", arranged the corresponding altar, and placed a piece of parchment with the words "oracle" that Thales had just spoken of.
Then he lit a candle, took the hydrosol of lavender and peppermint, and dripped it on the quietly burning flame.
After doing all this, he said in the ancient Hermetian language:
"I pray for the power of knowledge;
"I pray for the power of reason;
"I pray for the favor of the God of wisdom;
"I pray that you will discern the authenticity of the oracle conveyed by Thales Renault."
……
Woo!
As the incantation echoed, a phantus of a "brass eye" suddenly appeared on the altar, and it glanced at the contents of the parchment and vanished.
And there was an extra line of words on the parchment: True!
Seeing this scene, Thales's eyes were full of surprise, one was that the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" really wouldn't stop the other party from praying to the gods, and the other was that the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" would respond to him for such a simple ritual!
This is no ordinary god-honored person...... No wonder he wasn't a demigod yet to break into the first floor of the Labyrinth Tower!
In a flash of thought, Thales retracted his surprise and asked with a smile, "Is it okay this time?" ”
Abner nodded as he gathered up his ritual items, and ordered the Lancer Servant to retrieve the Silent Spear and keep only the necessary vigilance.
Speaking of which, Abner didn't really doubt Thales's words when he held this ceremony, he actually believed most of them a long time ago, and the main purpose of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" was to "deter" the other party and seize the right to speak.
Otherwise, as a demigod, even if he receives an oracle, he may not necessarily obey the arrangement of his "dependent".
And it's better not to listen to the arrangement, for fear that he will still want to arrange himself in reverse...... So Abner decided to pull a tiger skin for himself first.
On the other side, seeing that Abner had finally ceased to be hostile, Thales ordered his servants to be on guard outside, and he himself "pierced" through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window and entered the tanning house.
The two sides sat down, and Edwina asked the cyborg maid in the castle to bring black tea, and then turned to the topic after introducing herself a few words.
"How did you find me so quickly?" Abner asked.
Although he and Edwina replaced the Kiritsu couple in the original book and represented the Einzberen family, they were in the castle stronghold of the Einzberen family as soon as they entered.
This is not a secret to the plot characters, but the "Tower Climber", unless he is as familiar with the plot as he and Crane, is unlikely to be able to find it so quickly.
You must know that counting the brief meeting in the Source Fort and the summoning of the Heroic Spirit, it will only take more than an hour to complete the calculation.
"This starts with the identity of the person I replaced...... Thales took a sip of black tea before continuing, "The father of this capacity is the archbishop of the Church who oversees this 'Holy Grail War', and he is quite familiar with the parties to the possible war, and he has compiled a lot of information for reference.
"In addition, the teacher of this identity is also a 'master', whose name is Shichen...... A little bit of a mouthful, but he is the manager of the city's 'occult field', and he is naturally no stranger to Einzbelen.
"By the way, I've met with Mr. 'Hour' and confirmed that he is not the 'Towerer'...... Well, he has also summoned a Heroic Spirit, a Bow Rank Heroic Spirit known as the 'Hero King'. ”
So, you replaced Qili? Well, your look is indeed somewhat similar to "Father Mapo", except that he has brown hair and brown eyes, and you have black hair and black eyes.
Abner muttered in his heart, and after ostensibly glancing at the smaller Heroic Spirit outside the window, he said, "Your Heroic Spirit should be the 'Assassin' rank 'Hundred Faces Hassan', right?" Then I'm afraid she won't just come to my place...... Is there anything else to catch? ”
Thales' eyes narrowed when he heard this, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to see through the true name and ability of his heroic spirit at a glance, and while he paid more and more attention to it in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh: he is worthy of His Excellency, and he knows something about the lost large-scale ritual of the "Holy Grail War...... It's no wonder that Edwina, a little girl so proud, would follow him......
The Gong >Gong
- He didn't think that a complete ritual system like the "Holy Grail War" would be a fabrication by Russell, but that he had restored the ritual from the lost Tertiary or even Tertican texts and fabricated the story from it.
While thinking about it, Thales replied, "There is indeed a lot to be gained......
"The master of another famous extraordinary family in this city, the 'Maki family', was replaced by the 'Shadow Sage' of the 'Aurora Society', and summoned a 'Berserker' rank, a terrifying heroic spirit covered in black armor like this spear-level girl, and devoured all the members of that family in just one hour, leaving only a cute little girl......
"You know, the people of the Aurora Club are always more tolerant of good-looking people.
"However, as far as I know, this little girl is not really a member of the 'Maki Family', but the youngest daughter of 'Shichen'.
"That Aurora Sage kept her, perhaps with the purpose of containing the 'hour'.
"Although the people of the Aurora Society are crazy, they don't know how to use strategies."
In this way, the old bug of the Maki family ushered in the "standard" ending...... Kicked out?
That's right, the so-called "insect messenger" is a proper ration in front of the extraordinary person who is good at manipulating flesh and blood like the "shepherd" path, right?
However, who could be the terrifying mad-level heroic spirit summoned by the "Shadow Sage"?
Black Armor ...... Is it still Lancelot?
