Chapter 156 155.How coincidental is it?

Jenkins' question left Hoylandy in silence for ten minutes.

Then he showed a helpless wry smile and replied:

"I don't know...... Actually, I am not afraid of the court, I have many ways to keep myself alive; I didn't miss my power and status, and I was willing to accept a life of seclusion, what I was really afraid of was my mentor......"

"I don't know how to describe his strength and horror to you, I don't even dare to mention his name to you, I just know that if he wants to kill me, there is no safe place in the world."

Then he recounted an encounter he had had before he set out for the Eternal City.

Before he set out, under the command of the terrifying mentor, he settled a junior brother, and the two had a good personal relationship, the other party was also an outlaw who came into contact with the taboo system, and founded an association of his own like him, and was more loved and respected by the mentor than him.

But this junior brother was later exposed, and was wanted and encircled by the Holy Grace Court, and when Hoilandi met the other party again, he had already begun to lose control and alienation, but he still maintained a certain degree of rationality, and he still held an ancient book with an ominous aura in his arms.

At the behest of his mentor, Hoylandy helped the junior set up a strange ritual, put the ancient book into it, and began some kind of disturbing ritual.

The condition of the younger brother also deteriorated more and more as this ritual progressed, getting closer and closer to the monster, and the time to maintain his reason became less and less.

So Hoylandi finally couldn't hold it anymore, and what happened to his junior made him feel fear and despair, and he escaped from the bright city overnight, and began to look for a way to escape the master's control.

He didn't dare to go directly to the Inquisition, as he would probably die in an inexplicable 'accident', and he didn't dare to join other illegal forces, because he didn't know if there were other students of the mentor in those organizations......

What's more, if the mentor finds out that he has defected, there will be no place in the world to protect him, and he will definitely die a miserable death.

In desperation, he thought of the Eternal City, the place where the first research on Destiny and Prophecy began, predating the founding of the Shining City, and bringing together the most outstanding scholars.

As a result, the answer was to surrender and remain incognito......

If this is useful, will you still be so flustered?

In desperation, Hoylandi had today's almost desperate visit to the doctor, which was already his last straw.

Jenkins wrote down his description for three pages from beginning to end, and then went through it again, and then began to get vaccinated:

"Now that you know the difference between the 'option faction' and the 'path faction', you should also know what kind of answer I can give and the price it will cost to replace the 'path', right?"

"Of course! Of course! If you can find a path that will keep me alive, I'm willing to pay any price for it! ”

Hoylandi replied without hesitation.

Jenkins nodded, and said in a slightly hesitant tone:

"Hmm...... But your mentor is a terrifying powerhouse in your description......"

"Uh...... If you just prophesy my fate, he shouldn't be aware of it, right? After all, this is the 'future' that hasn't happened yet, and even my mentor can't interfere and influence it in advance, right? ”

"No, I misunderstood, of course he couldn't interfere in advance, but generally speaking, it involves this kind of high-ranking powerhouse...... Gotta add money! ”

“…………”

……………………

Hoylandy left a few gold bars as a deposit and left, seemingly unafraid that Jenkins would report the crime.

Jenkins didn't have the idea of doing so, and even stopped the students from trying to report the crime.

"We must remain equal in the face of fate in order to get a glimpse of the results we want, which is the first premise for [prophecy]."

After leaving some teachings, Jenkins chose to go to the secret basement, and then took out his metal chessboard, intending to enter the [chess game] to prophesy.

It's a method he's verified countless times, and it's safer, more convenient, and more private.

The means of prophecy are different from divination, they do not require too many props and media, and even many operations can be completed in the skull, but the efficiency will be slower.

When Jenkins entered the black and white board, he glanced to the side.

The mysterious 'spectator' wasn't there.

Instead, there was an extra white soldier pawn behind him......

"Uh...... Hello? ”

Jenkins was stunned, not quite aware of the situation, but only said hello tentatively.

The other party did not respond, and with his dying state of hanging by a thread, of course there could be no response.

Is this also a ritual arranged for him by the Most High?

It's no wonder that with his presence, he suddenly invaded our seminar, all for the sake of the white soldier's rituals.

So do I want to continue?

Jenkins hesitated and decided to give it a try.

This chessboard already has the aura and spirituality of a supreme and an eighth-order powerhouse, and theoretically speaking, it should have a promoting and protective effect on prophecy.

Jenkins then began the process and began to read out the previous record of what had happened to Hoylandy, word for word.

At the same time, he also activated his occult skills and began to perform the so-called 'fate deduction'.

Darkness immediately plunged before his eyes, and he could vaguely feel a layer of mist enveloping him.

This layer of fog is also known as the 'future haze', and when his deduction enters a critical stage and reaches a valid conclusion, the fog will dissipate in an instant, leaving a relatively clear picture in his mind.

This is the standard flow of prophecy.

With the efficiency of Jenkins' 'path faction', this process may last for a week, and because it may involve high-ranking powerhouses, leading to some uncertainty and danger, it is necessary to add money!

But what Jenkins didn't expect was that what was muttering in his mouth was harassing the Supreme Venerable in his mind.

……………………

"It's not...... Lao Zhan, what kind of neuropathy did he suddenly have? ”

Lloyd complained with a smile and a cry.

After a day off last night, he is back to his regular rhythm today.

After finishing his job, he went to Metis to borrow the bell, and then entered the [Mind Realm] to prepare for the [Audience with the Sage]

As a result, I didn't learn the knowledge, but I heard Jenkins thinking a lot......

Because there was no 'broadcast', the seminar was not held, and the picture on the chessboard could not be seen, only Jenkins' voice could be heard coming from the screen.

And that screen is being held by the tentacle grass 'hands' and carried on 'shoulders', and it is 'looping' the tragic experience of a guy named Hoylandy.

Lloyd listened patiently for a while, and suddenly realized that the name seemed a little familiar?

And the situation that this guy has experienced seems to have some kind of sense of déjà vu?

He hurriedly and seriously recalled.

Finally, in the memory of Williams, the inner ghost, the name was found.

Is this unlucky guy actually the leader of the 'Free Fashion Society'?

And his 'junior' and 'ancient book' are not the guy who committed suicide inexplicably in front of me, as well as the "Book of Truth"?

As for the terrible mentor who kills people like hemp, has cruel methods, and is involved in many underworld forces, but keeps saying that he doesn't want to kill......

Lloyd turned his head to look at the blood-colored sprout next to him.

Couldn't it be such a coincidence? In this huge world, these things can't be so coincidentally strung together, right?

Lloyd suddenly felt a little funny, and listened carefully for a while, and learned about Hoylandi's general experience.

This guy was willing to pay any price in order to get out of the master's control, but he didn't dare to betray directly, so after trying other methods, he pinned his last hope on the ethereal [fate].

It's really sad and ridiculous, don't go on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes from the beginning, wouldn't there be no such things?

After retelling what happened to Hoylandy several times and impressing himself, Jenkins began to carry out a substantive deduction of fate, and suddenly fell silent, only popping up a few words like 'future', 'fate', and 'path' from time to time.

Lloyd speculated on this, thinking that he might be making some kind of prophecy - he had learned about it in occult books, but it didn't go into it, and even rejected it a little.

According to the book, prophecy is different from divination, it is a very low-accuracy, ambiguous, and vague prediction behavior, which is already somewhat close to the magic stick.

As a time-traveler, Lloyd only believes in 'my life is up to me, not heaven'.

Even divination is a search for existing answers, and for the omen presented, it is a brainless optimistic interpretation, which naturally does not believe in prophecy.

But this is the old idea, since Big Brother Cheap, and even the Veto Sage mentioned the word [Fate], Lloyd has also changed his opinion, can I wonder if this really has a certain degree of credibility?

So what conclusion can Lao Zhan draw? Will the mentor that the leader of the underworld wants to get rid of be the advisor who only has a sapling left?

Can you use the identity of the Supreme One to guide and intervene?

Lloyd unfolded a series of bold associations.

But no matter what, let's wait for Lao Zhan to come to a conclusion......

So he commanded the tentacle grass:

"You pay attention to his conclusions, notify me when there is progress, and then turn down the mute, don't disturb my study."

Tentacle grass hurriedly hid the screen he was carrying behind him.

Lloyd looked up at the twin spiral spires for a scheduled study.
