Chapter Five Contradictions and Taboos in Divination
Two days later, Simmons Channing stayed in a certain space in Norton Mountain, while a group of five senior knights escorted Ian and others towards the east. Soldiers and wizards of the Sentinel's Sorrow were seen coming and going from time to time along the way.
, the entire Devonshire is already in the midst of a conquest.
"Moli, are you okay?" Ian saw Jasmine being silent all day, and couldn't help but worry that this woman couldn't think about it.
None of them could have imagined that the Yinguang family would be the first to suffer after the war between the Monastery and the Holy See of the Scythe Bearers. In the past few days, almost all the nobles had been forced to give up their independence and swear allegiance to the Monastery. The Sorrow of the Sentinel
As Hydrian's Sword, it killed many people along the way, and the Felix family's power in southern Devon was basically eradicated.
According to the information he received from Sheen, the war at Rose Manor had already started. According to Clapham's order, the Felix family surrendered in the past few days.
But who would have thought that Jasmine held the saddle with both hands, tilted her head and asked, "Why am I in trouble?"
Seeing the worry in Ian's eyes, she felt warm in her heart, so she smiled lightly: "You don't think I'm worried about my family's affairs, do you?"
Seeing Ian's speechless expression, he could only roll his eyes at him and said speechlessly: "Of course not. It will be a matter of time before the Yinguang family surrenders. Even the Pendragon family may not be able to stop the monastery. How could I
You have such unrealistic illusions. Fortunately, you are still the eldest son of the Hyde family, so you can’t even imagine this!"
Ian smiled coquettishly and did not continue to answer. Instead, he coughed and asked Paji, "Didn't Lord Jacques and the others get attacked on the way to the West? Why are we going in the opposite direction?"
Although he is the leader of this team, finding people still depends on Paki's divination skills.
Paji pondered for a while, then pointed in the direction of York County and said: "The divination shows that Lord Jacques and the others will eventually appear there, in a place called Moon Lake. You are from Lai, so you should know where it is, right?"
Moon Lake?
Ian recalled the information Roger left for him. There was a wizard ruins there, and the All Souls Residence Slash was obtained from it. To be precise, it should be called the Star Path Destruction Slash.
Roger said that he could explore there, and there were still many places that had not been explored.
But once it comes to the divine messenger, Ian just wants to stay away.
Now when Paji asked, he also replied: "Well, it is 10 miles away from Lae, between the mountains. I heard that it is occupied by bandits. It is a huge lake... You said Lord Jacques will appear there,
Does divination have a prophetic effect?”
Hearing this, Paji did not shy away from the secret of divination. She nodded and said, "Yes, divination originated from the ancient god of destiny who has long since fallen. Although this god is only the main god, due to the power of his destiny priest,
The special nature makes it possible for him to see part of the future. Of course, this is just the conjecture of the ancient wizards, but the results of the divination cannot be wrong, and Lord Jacques will definitely appear there."
Seeing that she was so confident in what she said, Ian couldn't refute it. But he thought of the hunter's obelisk again, so he pretended to ask casually: "Oh, is it so powerful! Is there anything that divination can't predict?"
The others were also curious and listened attentively. When Paji saw it, she was not disappointed and said with a smile: "Of course."
She raised her finger and poked it upward, saying, "First, gods must not be blasphemed!"
"The second thing is those unnameable evil beings. Although they are not gods, their power is real. Once the fortune teller is not strong enough, if he goes to spy on it, he will easily be infected and become an evil believer. Then
It’s really worse than death, so wizards never divine these existences.”
"As for the third kind... According to legend, there is a third kind of existence that cannot be divined, but I can only
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I heard it from the instructors, but they don't know what it is specifically." Paji frowned and said.
"What is the third type...?" Ian seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Pudge, but his eyes met Jasmine's inadvertently, with an inexplicable meaning.
Is the Bone Burial Saint the third kind of existence?
…
"Master, there is a situation ahead." Warren's sharp eyes saw the returning scout from a distance.
Ian and others immediately became alert. When the scout approached, they heard his report: "Sir, there are knights from the monastery fighting five miles ahead. The enemy should be the local viscount."
It was not surprising to hear that the scouts came to report to everyone. Although the monastery's military force is one of the best in the Navia Peninsula, for believers, the stronger the enemy, the more motivated they are to resist, and the more determined the believers, the more so.
Such believers have already appeared in Devon County, which is not the territory of the Holy See of the Scythe Bearer, let alone Dover County. The whole people of Sentinel's Sorrow are enemies there, and it is difficult to move even an inch.
"How is the battle going?" Ian asked.
"The two sides are at a stalemate. The noble relies on the castle for defense, and the adults of the monastery cannot attack." the scout replied.
"Is it a stalemate? Just go there without going to the rescue." Ian gave the order without any hesitation. Through his conversation with Paji, he knew that the sooner they reach Moon Lake, the better.
A group of more than ten riders went straight through the battlefields on both sides and headed straight for Morris.
The end point of their trip is Moon Lake, and then they have to pass through the two cities of Talos and Prolos to reach the Yorkshire Territory. According to previous experience, it usually only takes five or six days to reach the destination.
But when he passed the battlefield, Ian noticed that the corrosion talent was slowly lighting up, which made him change his mind. He raised his hand and stopped at the periphery of the small cavalry.
"What's the matter, Ian?" Jasmine stepped forward and asked. The others were also puzzled. Didn't they just ignore it?
Ian looked into the distance, not sure where the spokesman of the gods was hiding.
Since he was promoted to intermediate hunter last time, he has discovered that the Hunter Obelisk does not actively offer rewards for the spokespersons of gods. It only targets believers, whether they are believers of evil existences or gods, and will pursue them relentlessly.
But for the spokesperson of the gods, it will only issue a reward after Ian uses the oracle lens to confirm his identity, and the rewards are still pitifully small.
It makes people confused and contradictory.
Fortunately, the hunter's talent can be effective against many targets. Ian also uses this to determine whether there is a spokesperson for the gods around, so as to avoid danger.
"There is a spokesman for the gods." Ian was not afraid of others hearing it. Anyway, the instructors of the monastery basically knew about the spokesmen for the gods, and many of them were there when Capas said it last time.
"Spokesperson of the Spirits—how did you know?" Before Jasmine could speak, Paji beside her exclaimed, obviously she also knew about this kind of existence.
Ian did not answer her, only said: "If there is a wizard hiding, that team of knights may suffer. We'd better help them."
He was deeply influenced by Roger and Consul, and had a great impression of Sentinel's Sorrow. In addition, now that he was also a member of Sentinel's Sorrow, he naturally could not sit idly by and ignore it.
Moreover, what the spokesperson of the gods wants to do, the hunter team has to destroy, and the two sides are naturally opposed to each other.
Paji knew she had made a mistake, so she did not refute.
On the contrary, it was Jasmine who came forward with a smile and whispered: "Master Hyde, help me make a fortune." Ian was quite speechless.
…
"Who are you? The Hydrian Monastery is here
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Conquer, the rest will leave immediately."
A knight left the battlefield and approached them. Even after discovering that they had a lineup of at least five high-ranking knights, they still drove them away from a distance, which shows the tyranny of the monastery.
Ian didn't waste any time and said directly: "I am Ian Hyde, ask your captain to come and see me."
In Fall of the Sentinel, Ian Hyde is now also a brand.
After hearing this, the knight immediately turned his horse's head and went back to report. Not long after, another horse came out from under the castle. When the visitor approached, he said: "I am the captain of the first team of the fifth team. I am executing the military order of Lady Mia. Excuse me.
What are your orders, Lord Hyde?"
Since his teacher Capas was seriously injured and disappeared, and the monastery started the war, the leaderless Sentinel's Sorrow was handed over to Clapham Mia. The other party was the commander of the East Coast Second Army, so he was naturally qualified to fight with him.
Strength Commands the Sentinel's Sorrow.
Joe Gold and Vader Beerbohm, who are the deputy commanders of the legion, did not agree, but this was Hercules' order, so they naturally did not dare to disobey it. This resulted in the current situation-Kara
Peng was in charge of domestic and foreign affairs, and all the mentors were at his disposal, just like the next dean.
It was not Ian's turn to worry about these matters. He said directly: "We also carried out the mission under the orders of Master Clapham, but when we passed by, we found that there was a wizard hidden here. I was afraid that you would suffer a loss, so I came to take a look."
"Wizard?" The team leader was a little doubtful. He turned to look back and frowned for a while before saying, "Lord Hyde, are you sure? Although the lord here believes in the Scythe Bearer, no wizard was found in our intelligence. We have been attacking for three days.
I haven’t been attacked by magic since."
When Ian heard this, he was also puzzled as to what the purpose of the spokesman for the gods in the dark was. He said to the team leader: "I am a gifted person, and my magic is very sure that there must be a wizard in it, but a more specific situation requires
I have to get closer."
Seeing Ian's insistence, the team leader also knew how powerful the gifted person was, so he nodded and led everyone closer to the castle.
This is a subcounty, and the lord's castle is not very big, but the medieval stone castle is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Approaching the knights of the first team, Ian silently activated the oracle lens and scanned around but found no spokesman for the gods, so he could determine where the person was hiding.
Two senior knights appeared on the city wall, they were the viscount here and his henchmen.
"It's them, Viscount Fell and his guard captain. Both of them are loyal believers of the Scythe Bearer, and they are also the only lords around who resist the call. It is not difficult to take them down, but there are sharp archers in the opponent's guard team.
Now, we can't get close, so we can only use ordinary soldiers to attack." The squad leader said with some shame.
He was originally the best among the senior knights, and even if he faced off against Viscount Fell and his guard captain, he would not necessarily lose. However, there was a sharpshooter hidden in the opponent's guard team, and he was specially selected to fight against the two senior knights.
When someone shoots a cold arrow, it gives people a headache.
"Archer!" Ian nodded, and with his mental power, he transcended the crowd and the stone wall, and found an archer in the shadow of an arrow stack on the city wall.
He was a young man with a sullen face, and his brows always showed evil spirits.
"Is it him?" Ian passed the picture to the squad leader, who immediately nodded hurriedly. He was surprised and secretly sighed that he was indeed the disciple of the Legion Commander.
"Very good!" Ian nodded, "Captain, please order the attack. I will ask the guards to cooperate with you. I think six senior knights will not be unable to capture a small castle, right?"
The team leader was overjoyed. None of Ian's guards were weaker than him. With the addition of these people, it would only take a matter of minutes to capture the castle.
As for the wizards that Ian mentioned, he was even less worried, because wizards were always solved by wizards.
