Chapter 493: The Forgotten Jailer
Millennial and millennium?
Iger and Melisandre looked confused, completely unaware of what the Green Prophet was saying.
"Heh, Lady Vulcan didn't mention me to you at all, did you!" Looking at Egg's expression on the other side, the Green Prophet knew he had guessed correctly. Although the anger became worse, but the heart tempered by thousands of years still had some effect, after a roar to vent most of the emotions, the anger on Bran's face subsided, and he returned to his usual face of a dead man, leaving a slight dissatisfaction, but made his face more humane than before, "Your Excellency the new Chosen One, do you guess: I have been staying in a ghost place that cannot be found on the map of Saibei before returning to the Great Wall this time, is it out of my own volition?"
Eggmer swallowed silently.
He was indeed frightened by the Green Prophet's sudden attack...... It was a little embarrassing to try to cheat people but was put on the target first, but Iger was not ashamed of it. He wasn't a god, he couldn't do anything, and as a mortal, he was proud to be just startled and not lose his temper in front of the sudden anger of a transcendent being.
After pretending to shrug his shoulders calmly, he replied, "It seems that it is not, I would like to hear about it." ”
"I'm sure you already know the story of Lady Vulcan's mother, the story of how the legendary 'True Dragon's Bloodline' was able to gain a foothold in this world, but you certainly don't know anything about the details: after the True Dragon suddenly appeared and defeated the original master of this world, whom he should now call the God of Cold, and banished him to the Land of Eternal Winter, I was chosen to guard over him, tasked with monitoring the Divine God's every move, and sounding the alarm in case of an anomaly. The Green Prophet stared into Egger's eyes, completely ignoring the red-robed woman who was staring at her, "At that time, Lady True Dragon...... I don't know if it's appropriate to call a dragon a lady, but you can understand it - at that time, the real dragon lady was injured and weakened after a fierce battle with the Juggernaut, and needed to recuperate and care for her newborn offspring, so it was understandable that she didn't bother to hunt down and destroy her enemies. She has freed me and the whole world from the cruel evil god, a favor that can only be repaid with eternal loyalty and obedience, and I am fully happy to serve her, in the wind and rain, without complaint. ”
Later, when she finally died without recovery, I did not hesitate to turn my allegiance to her daughter, and resolutely fulfilled my follower obligations in the Battle of the Dawn and stood with her...... That is, everyone is familiar with the side of the god of fire. The last bit of dissatisfaction on Bran's face slowly faded and he regained his composure, "That time, no one expected that the hundred-year-old Vulcan Lady would be able to defeat the cold god who was dozens or hundreds of times older than her alone. In the absence of any effort to sit back and enjoy victory, no one has the position or right to force her to take risks and continue to pursue the source of the enemy's strength...... The cold god can exert all his power to go to the land of eternal winter. We're not in a hurry, anyway...... With her growth rate, wouldn't it be as easy to deal with the Cold God as it was to crush a worm for another thousand years?everybody thought so, and with that in mind, when she ordered me to keep an eye on the Cold God and wait for her to 'come back and clean up this guy', I didn't hesitate to agree. ”
This "turning back" has been watched until now?
While Melisandre was still confused, Egg had already figured out what had happened, and finally understood why the Green Prophet was angry.
Anyone who is asked to "wait a little longer" turns out to wait for thousands of years, and they will accumulate a belly of fire, it turns out that this green prophet ...... To some extent, he is still his colleague, and he can even be regarded as half a "senior...... It's a pity that he is a senior who is full of complaints and dissatisfaction! He was so angry with Lachlo that he didn't dare to spread this fire on the person concerned, so he quietly complained to the new junior, himself?
"You know what happened next. I waited for the first millennium, thinking that Madame Lachlo might not feel strong enough and wanted to wait until she was completely sure before she could do it, and I waited another millennium, and I guessed that she was probably held back by something more important...... But after another thousand years, news finally came faintly from the east: she was looking for a way everywhere, trying to open the passage between the worlds and go back...... Looking for Daddy!" Although her expression no longer changed, the Green Prophet's tone became fierce again, "She has so much free time, why can't she take a moment to clean up that damn bastard from the north first......?"
Fuck it, it turns out that Bran asked Melisandre to leave before, not to take the opportunity to attack herself, but to really have a sensitive topic that can't be heard by ordinary believers?
"Ahem. Egger interrupted the Green Prophet's chatter with a cough—and if he continued to press him so openly, Rahlo's glorious image in the minds of her followers would be ruined, and that would be a great disservice to herself, the Chosen One. "Melisandre, there's nothing important here, you can go next door and wait a while. ”
The red-robed woman was listening attentively, greedily absorbing these ancient anecdotes and secret histories that could never be seen from the flames, and frowned when she heard this, although she was extremely unwilling, but in the end she did not dare to disobey the will of the spokesperson of the Lord of Light, nodded and left the room.
Branwang didn't look at the witch's back, only wrinkled his nose meaningfully at Egg, who slapped himself in the face, and continued the interrupted topic: "Laherlo has a lot of fun in her own world, and her incredible strength makes the cold god dare not even think of escaping from prison...... The real enemy was far away and he didn't dare to provoke it, so the anger that had nowhere to vent was naturally transferred to me, who had to always be on the front line because of the duty of guarding!"
"Didn't you try to communicate with Lady Lahlo for so long?"
"Nonsense, of course I tried, countless times! but every time I didn't get the slightest response like a stone sinking into the sea...... For thousands of years, I, the original jailer, have played cat and mouse with the objects I guarded for thousands of years, and countless doppelgangers and baits have been dug up and destroyed and killed into powder......, struggling on the brink of death countless times! The creature finally couldn't hold back a temptation to leave, and I finally waited for Rahlo's arrival again! I thought it was going to come to an end, but she just came to the Great Wall and went back again?
***
As soon as she praised Rahlo for being reliable, a former employee immediately came to expose her black history?The story told by the Green Prophet is completely in line with the version of the Red God, and it is too far-fetched to say that it was made up on the spot...... So, if he wasn't lying, what was the reason that Rahlo completely ignored his inquiries and communications?
Egger certainly didn't immediately take the Green Prophet's shoes, and while he may not be lying, he was probably hiding something - judging from the few details in his narrative, he lived longer than Rahlo, which meant that the Green Prophet was already living in the world of Fire and Ice before Rahlo's mother was banished to the plane and forced to fight back to defeat the God of Cold. Well, consider that the god of cold ruled the planet at that time, and the Green Prophet said that he was a cruel evil god......
Several clues converged, and he made a bold guess in his heart: the Green Prophet was likely once a subordinate of the Cold God, acting as a "clairvoyant" under him. But because he was angry because he was not treated well by the original boss, when the real dragon appeared and had conflicts and frictions with his master, he decisively chose to jump ship against the water, and successfully overthrew the previous boss with one blow, so that he also had a place in the new world - he was not a pure and flawless white lotus at all, but a two-five boy!
A traitor, still an old immortal, anyone obviously has reason not to like it. Perhaps, Lahlo ignored it out of disgust...... Even deliberately using the method of letting him come to see the god of cold, so that these two guys can't get out and do bad things with one stone?
Egger put away his bigger and bigger brains...... Even if it is a reasonable guess, there should be no limit, after all, there is another possibility that no one can rule out: perhaps, the goddess is just a simple nobleman who forgets things and forgets the green prophet to the back of her mind. This is of course extremely rude, but with her strength, whose face does she need to see?
And after giving up brainstorming to get his thoughts back on track, Egger saw through the calculation in the heart of the Green Prophet in an instant.
The Green Prophet, who had been trembling for thousands of years under the nose of the cold god outside the Great Wall, did not want to risk his life to continue to return to the outside of the fortress as a jailer, and was afraid of the terrifying power of Rahlo to leave his post without permission, so he came up with a way to use himself - as the chosen one of the Red God, he served as his spokesperson during her absence, and what he said was equivalent to Rahlo's will. If he nodded and agreed to accept the help of the Green Prophet, it would be tantamount to relieving him of his responsibilities and agreeing to let him go south to the human kingdom to enjoy happiness. In this way, in case of Lahlo's blame in the future, he will be able to throw the pot on his own head!
