"You had an unhappy childhood, my lord. ”

After some tinkering, the old man drew a specific card from the pile of cards, stared at the card for a moment, and said slowly in a low, hoarse voice.

The expression on Alves' face didn't change in the slightest.

"Haha, every dwarf has a miserable childhood. ”

He returned with a smile.

"No, that's not what I mean, my lord. Your childhood was marked by contradictions and struggles. Your father despised you, but you have a brother who is nice to you. You are good brothers, and only your brother will not treat you as an outsider. ”

The old man said slowly. Alves' brow furrowed, he had never talked about his childhood, and no one knew how Aubrey had treated him in the past. Alves didn't know how these guys in front of him knew about their past?Could there really be such a mysterious profession as a soothsayer?Or did these guys have already investigated their past before heading to Blackhammer Castle?Alves couldn't believe it, he was expressionless, and continued to ask—

"How did my mother die?"

"I died because I gave birth to you. ”

The old man replied with a calm face.

At this point, Alves couldn't sit still. If it is a fact that many people know that his brother is good to him, then it is absolutely impossible for others to know the cause of his mother's death except for himself and his father. My father has been dead for many years, and no one in this world knows about this for a long time. Do these people really have the ability to tell the future and know the past?

"And how did my brother die?"

He then asked.

"My lord, divination can only see some fragments, that is, some fragments under the conditions allowed by the gods, but not the whole of a person. Otherwise, we would have become the hands of the king. ”

The old man smiled, this was the first time Alves had seen this old man smile. He smiled very calmly, as if there was nothing to hide. Even the process of divination, Alves watched the whole process, and they did not hide the actions of the ritual in the slightest.

"Okay, tell me, what else do you see? ”

Alves said. He became more and more interested in the group. At least, to be able to know this, they are by no means ordinary people.

"The red earth and the frozen Great Wall, the young queen and the city in the snow, the hand of the king, oh, right...... The Queen's new minister. ”

The old man spoke incoherently, this time differently, his tone was deeper, as if he had entered some kind of meditation. Alves wanted to ask, but after careful scrutiny of the words, he found that the old man had already given the answer. The Red Land—the Bloody Battlefield?The Frozen Great Wall—the Great Wall of the North, which has been abandoned for many years. The young queen didn't know what to do. The city on the snowy field should be Kislev City. Hand of the King, is the Queen's new minister talking about herself? Alves couldn't help but be a little suspicious. There has never been a dwarf in history who could be a minister of a state. But these people are right about the past. Maybe they're useful to Rhodes, Alves thought to himself, and called the guards—"Get them out, and I'll take them to the lord for interrogation." ”

......

A gang of people who were labeled as crooks ended up being taken to the halls of Blackhammer. Here, Rod looked at the group with interest, they were dressed in rags, but they were in good spirits. One of the young men looked like a student, with fear on his face, but it was clear that the fear was innate, not the fear that came from here.

"A bunch of liars. Alves said, holding his finger to his forehead, "But I'd rather believe that they are soothsayers, good at the occult, than the title of liar." I think you'll be interested. ”

"Fortune teller?"

Rod asked curiously.

There is so much in this world that he doesn't know, and Rhodes knows that divination exists, and that certain people can use certain rituals to see the future and fragments of the past. So in the face of these "charlatans", there is more expectation in my heart.

"Yes, sir. ”

The old man returned respectfully and humbly.

"Your name?"

"Igo Flamis, Your Excellency. ”

"Well, tell me, what are you all capable of? soothsayers. ”

Rod asked with a smile. Neither despised, nor very convinced.

This attitude made several old people feel very pleased, and Igo pondered for a while, and said—

"Divination, my lord. ”

"That is, you can predict the future?"

"It's just some clips, I can't guarantee that all of them are right, I can only get a glimpse or two. ”

Igo repeated what he had just said to Alves, and he didn't get tired of it, and he could see that he had said a lot of similar things, and it had probably become a habit.

"Alvisken has brought you here to prove that you definitely have a certain ability, so I no longer doubt your identity. I'm interested in, what kind of future can you foresee? Tell me, the future of Kislev, the future of the Empire, and the future of the whole world. ”

Rod asked with a smile. The rise of Chaos, the coming of the apocalypse, and the imminent invasion of the Middle Ages with the Chaos army are things that only Rhodes knows at present, and if these soothsayers can get a glimpse of one or two, they can prove that they do have some ability.

I saw Igo gather a few members and whispered, although it was a whisper, but in fact, Rhodes could also hear it, on the battlefield, with the blessing of Ersun, he could hear the sound for a few miles, not to mention that now this group of people was just standing less than five meters in front of him.

All they were discussing was whether to do another divination on the spot, so that the lord could get the answer he wanted. An older soothsayer thinks that they have just sucinated a dwarf and that it is not suitable for a short period of time. The young man disagreed, believing that if they could not convince the lord, they would be sent to the mines as slaves. A month of hard labor could be a drag on their bodies, so they had to do another divination. Even if it drags a weak body.

In the end, the gang reached an agreement, saying that there would be another divination on the spot, but there was no guarantee that there would be a result.

Rhodes nodded in agreement, if there was no result, he would wait for tomorrow, and he would not send them to the mines as coolies so quickly.

Soon, a group of people began a mysterious divination ritual. They closed all the windows in the hall, lit candles in the darkness on all sides, and Igo took out the mysterious crystal ball from his bosom, placed it on the table, and looked at it reverently, the crystal ball was the size of a rugby ball, but it was crystal clear and emitted a lilac light. A group of people were chanting words around the crystal ball, and Igo took the dagger from Alves's hand and slashed it in the palm of his hand, and a faint amount of blood dripped on the surface of the crystal ball. Perhaps because of the layman, Rhodes looked at the strange crystal ball, it did not change, but the soothsayer's face showed a look of surprise and horror, as if he had seen a demon in a dark vision......

"What do you see?"

Rhodes stepped forward and asked.
