Chapter 91: The Fortune Teller (Part II)

Igo stood still, looking at the crystal ball in horror, as if it were hell, the place where the devil was born.

He was stunned for a few minutes before he came to his senses, and said in a trembling voiceβ€”

"I saw the end ......"

"The end of the world, tell me about it, what kind of end of the world, can I see it with my own eyes in my lifetime?"

Alves said with a smile. However, Rod's heart tightened, because the end was indeed near...... It's only a hundred years. Could it be that this group of soothsayers really saw the invasion of the Doomsday Chaos army? Rhodes stepped forward, put his hand on the old man's shoulder, and whisperedβ€”" Speak slowly. ”

"Green, I see that the sea of green is devouring the land. Coming from the south, across the mountains and plains, countless green rivers converge, and the storm is approaching. On the shattered earth, countless people have been displaced. The mountains and rivers faded, and the brilliance of the sun and the moon dimmed. ”

The old man said in a trembling voice.

Rod couldn't help but feel nervous, what Igo said might not be the Chaos Legion, because the Chaos Legion is not green, the only thing that may be a green wave is only the green skin...... That is, orcs and goblins......

The green sea floods the land, and Rhodes guesses that this may be the sight of the Greenskins sweeping through the human realm.

"Can you see what the green ocean is?"

Rod asked with a serious expression.

"Orc ......"

The old man replied. His face was already covered with sweat marks. Rhodes couldn't see what the crystal ball showed, but the horror of the green wave was already felt in these descriptions. Historically, the human kingdoms of the Old World have been invaded by the Greenskins several times. At his own point in time, Rhodes guessed that the only Greenskins who could invade Kislev at this time would be the one led by Grimg Ironhide.

"What you said is true?"

Alves walked over and stared at the old man with strange eyes.

"It's never been clearer. ”

The soothsayer Igo replied.

"And when are these greenskins going to arrive in Kislev? and how many of them are there?"

Alves then asked.

"The number is endless, and as for the time, I don't know...... My lord, the soothsayer can only see the fragments, not the whole thing. Moreover, it is also possible that these clips are just illusions. But what I just saw was real. I could even see the ugly faces of the orcs and smell the stench of blood emanating from them. ”

Igo replied. Rhodes couldn't help but think of the old man walking in the armies of various countries in the opening scene of Warhammer, on crutches, barely breathing.

"Well, if it's a hundred years from now, it won't matter to me, and after a hundred years, I'll have already turned into a pile of bones. ”

"No, it won't be that long. ”

Rhodes said. Kiss

Alves turned his head to stare at Rod as if to say β€” how do you know?, but Rod didn't make eye contact with him. Instead, focus again on this group of soothsayers.

"You can stay here, and if you see anything in the future, remember to report it to me as soon as possible. ”

After Rod finished speaking, Alves was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down again. The Lord of Blackhammer is a strange man, and he can't do anything. Alves comforted himself.

And Rod's real purpose is not just for prophecy and divination. There is also a deeper purpose, in order to inspire people's hearts and inspire the morale of the army at that time. Most of the people of the Old World are still very ignorant, they believe in some mysterious illusions, some mysterious people's words. The army also needs some psychological comfort before going on the expedition, and at this time, if there is a respected soothsayer who wins the war, it will greatly stimulate and boost the confidence of the army. At the same time, it also fills the population with hope and does not feel fear because of the coming war. Of course, in order to do this, Rhodes also had to communicate with these soothsayers, and some of the words were true, and they may not be able to be said. Like everything that is said today, it cannot be told to the population, otherwise it will only cause panic.

......

"You want these people to speak for us, but it's not easy, I've communicated with them, and I personally feel that these people are as religious as believers, they have a lot of respect for divination results, and they don't say anything hypocritical. ”

After the soothsayers were taken down by the guards to rest, Alves came up and spoke with Rhodes in detail.

The chief steward had worry written on his face, but Rod only smiled lightly-

"Piety is only relative, and the main thing you see is the performance of that Igo. But that's not all. Do you know why they are so poor?"

Rod laughed.

"Why?"

Alves frowned, puzzled.

"It's because they don't speak well. Divination is a kind of occultism, and the outside world knows little about them, and the people seek answers from them, but some of the answers are so dark and terrible that they don't need to be said. And some of the answers are very bright, very lovable and desirable, and they can be widely advertised. These people are poor because of Igo's presence. If they know what to say and some things not to say, they can live a good life. I wonder if there must be a few people in this group who are a little more flexible and don't want to be so 'religious', and these people are the ones we are looking for. If not a few, there are one or two. ”

Rod smiled and said-

"They're not liars, because they do have the ability to predict certain futures and see certain pasts. If they are pure liars, after deceiving for a long time, the people will not believe their nonsense. But soothsayers are different, they can see the real past, so for the people, their words still have a certain credibility. We are not asking them to lie, but to say selectively, to say what is good for us, and not to say what is bad for us. ”

"So, you're going to support this organization?"

Alves asked, frowning.

"It's not about support, it's just about recognizing its legitimacy and giving them a place to live without having to wander around the world. The occult is indeed a discipline, but too few people know about it. And some lords are worried that these people will confuse the people, so the soothsayers are not so well treated wherever they go. ”

Rod pondered back.

"But there's one thing you have to think about, what would Diego think of them, heresy, or a potential threat? Witch hunters are always repulsive to these weird academics. ”

Alves reminded.

"I'll make this clear to him, rest assured, Diego is not such a person, since he can live in peace with a frost witch, then he will not embarrass the soothsayer. After all, a wizard is a much more threatening threat than an unarmed soothsayer. ”

Rod replied.
