Chapter 23 Anti-prophecy

Raven and the two did not leave the Golden City. When the carriage rounded a dark corner, Raven quickly took Karin and Rope out of the car.

There was a slight movement in the carriage, and the experienced coachman noticed it sensitively, but did not express any sign of it. This was part of the agreement between Raven and Old Man Jacob.

After the carriage traveled 200 meters, it briefly turned into an alley. When it came out again, there were hundreds of kilograms of real rope and two stand-in children on the carriage.

Raven's re-entering the slums did not alert anyone, because it was too easy for Raven to avoid civilians with high perception. And most of the time he walked in the shadows of the slums and on the roofs of wooden houses, such as passing between two houses.

On the roof, Raven walked on a rope bridge transformed from Rope One. Walking on it felt almost like walking on a wooden bridge.

As the contact time became longer and longer, Karin began to accept Sheng Yi, feeling that this huge golem was more like some kind of omnipotent tool and servant.

The rope that is soul-connected to Raven doesn't even need Raven's command, it automatically completes Raven's mission.

Not far away, Raven and his party temporarily settled in an abandoned three-story house.

"here it is?"

Raven did not answer Karin and pointed to a gorgeous church building opposite. The black and white exterior wall of the building and the crystal ball with eyes on the door informed passersby that this was the Church of the God of Prophecy.

A weird smile appeared on the corner of Raven's mouth: "That bastard has been chasing me with prophecy. Now he finds out that the person who left the city has changed his mind. What will he do?"

Karin's eyes lit up: "Will he come back to use prophecy to find us again?"

Raven shook his index finger: "More than that. I just made such a big fuss in the Adventurer's Guild, and even the rope card was revealed. The mastermind behind the scenes is so careful, he will definitely use power word to explore my past first. If

If he really dares to do this, it will be great fun."

Raven imagined maliciously: I wonder if the bug in the game that almost caused the game to crash can still be used?

"Then we just wait like this?"

Raven shrugged: "Whether it's prophecy or power word, the best time to cast a spell is midnight. We still have a long time. As long as we stay here without being discovered, you can do whatever you want."

After Karin heard this, she ran next door and changed back into her original burlap clothes, then hummed an unknown tune and started cleaning like a hostess.

After a while, I made the room clean, and then took out the white bread and kettle that I had not eaten the day before.

"Brother, since you are going to stay very late, why not eat first."

Raven's eyelids twitched a few times, but he finally convinced Karin: "Okay."

Even though there are many empty houses in the slums of the Golden City, this is never free.

Many children who work part-time as thieves will often patrol the empty houses in the slums. Once they find that a poor person has moved in without permission, it will be the Sheriff's turn. The Sheriff will severely punish those who violate the security management of the Golden City, such as

Regulations and other reasons hit the poor hard, squeezing out every last drop of oil and water from their marrow.

In fact, it is difficult to hide from these thieves during the day. Of course, Raven also has ways to deal with them.

Raven's extraordinary perception allowed him to easily spot a child approaching the house. Without any mercy, Raven directly cut his wrist and performed a small bloodletting on him.

Bright red blood swayed in front of the door of this house.

In the eyes of that child, Raven's smile was as terrifying as the devil.

"Little guy, I recognize you. Go home now. You are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened here before tomorrow morning. I know that Analong is in charge of this area. You are really being forced to suffer."

If he doesn't stop, tell him to get away, otherwise even his boss Chai Fei won't be able to save him."

He said two names in a row, both of which were big names that the little boy did not dare to climb up to. But in this mysterious person's eyes, they were just inferior to pigs and dogs. The little boy was really scared, and an almost instinctive fear firmly gripped his heart.

heart.

"Okay, get out!"

The little boy peed away.

Waiting was boring. Not long after nightfall, Karin curled up in Raven's arms and fell asleep.

Sitting on the rocking chair that turned into a rope, Raven looked at the Church of Prophecy quietly.

Sure enough, near midnight, Raven saw a luxuriously dressed male businessman hurriedly entering the door of the Church of the God of Prophecy.

The house was just downwind, and Raven activated his listening skill.

In the church, the businessman secretly handed a large bag of gems to Juanito, the high priest of the Church of Prophecy.

Juanito frowned: "Speak clearly, otherwise I won't accept the money."

"The person who asked you to predict last time... something went wrong. The boy named Raven seems to have suddenly awakened his artificer bloodline, so this time I want to ask you to use Power Word to see his past."

Juanito pondered for a while and pushed the gem back.

"Your Excellency, what are you..."

"Stop joking. You want me to use Power Word to check the families with the blood of the Artifact Warlock? Do you want to kill me? Do you know what Power Word is? You idiot with no common sense, get out! Let the people behind you come to see me in person.

, otherwise there will be no discussion!" Juanito roared, scaring the businessman to the point of peeing.

Twenty minutes after the businessman left, a mysterious man appeared in the shadows of the room.

He handed over a large money bag with an arm full of veins.

"There are fifty gold coins of gods inside. My request remains unchanged."

Juanito hesitated a little, thought about it and decided to refuse.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the opponent suddenly increased the pressure.

"One hundred gold coins of gods."

Juanito's body trembled: "Power Word is to directly explore the truth of the world through divine magic. If the content is simple, then I only need to pay the price of mental power. If the content is more complex, I will overdraw my vitality. If the content is special

If it is huge or profound, it will overwhelm my Lord’s divine power!”

"Three hundred! This much money is enough for you to explore an entire line of artificers in the Neras Empire."

Juanito's body was shaking like chaff. He was in too deep. The God of Prophecy was neutral, but those who could afford the most money to make mantras or prophecies were basically guys from the evil camp. He was also finishing the prophecy.

He secretly investigated after using his magic, and all the people predicted by his prophecy were killed.

Now he found that he could not refuse the request of this dark man. After all, accepting money to make prophecies did not violate the teachings of the Church of Prophecy, but if he refused, he would probably be killed. In the end, he accepted the bag of gold coins from the gods.

He knew this meant paying a price of at least years of life.

Under the man's gaze, Juanito began to use the magic of mantra on his crystal ball. In the crystal ball, he first saw Raven's young face, and then Raven's face became younger and younger.

In their vision, Raven's time began to flow backwards.

Suddenly, an inexplicable disagreement appeared. It was a fog that was stuck in the center of the crystal ball and could not be dispersed. This accident almost made Juanito unable to control himself, and his hands were shaking a little!

"Yes! It's right here! I want to see it clearly!" The dark man opposite could hardly contain his excitement.

Juanito gritted his teeth, gathered his mental strength, and broke through the fog with all his strength.

The crystal ball image started to move.

You can clearly see that the picture has left the main plane of the Ultron world.

It’s not like Juanito has never used the power of truth to detect people from other planes, and even the demons in the abyss, but he has never tried to do this like today, directly crossing countless planes and pointing clues to the endless

The deepest part of the universe.

No! This is simply another world with a multiverse.

How is this possible!?

Juanito's face suddenly turned pale.

The greater the time and space that Power Word spans, the more alarming its losses will be.

If the spiritual power injected into the crystal ball is a big wave, then what it collides with is a black hole that is enough to swallow up the entire ocean! The crazy suction force easily swallowed up this small wave, and then in turn swallowed Juanito completely.

The spiritual world pulls past.

Juanito felt that his whole body suddenly became light and light, and he spurted out a large mouthful of blood. His vision became blurred instantly, and he could only see a withering spreading from the fingertips of his hands, and the area became larger and larger. In two blinks,

In the blink of an eye, his hands were like dead trees, and his dry skin was like the cracked earth tortured by drought.

And the crystal ball is still asking Juanito for a price endlessly.

His entire lifespan? Not enough.

His whole soul? Not enough!

The black hole in the crystal ball went through the channel of faith that connected the priests and gods.

"No -" Juanito let out the last scream of his life.

The dark man stood stunned. He did not expect that Juanito opposite him would be reduced to a ball of ashes within a few seconds, leaving only the gorgeous priest's robe scattered on the table.

Even if he knew early on that Juanito would have to pay a price for this power word technique, he never imagined that the price would be so tragic - Juanito not only paid with all his life, but also burned his soul.

This is not the end.

The next moment, all the believers and priests of the Church of Prophecy, as well as all the mages and warlocks who knew the art of prophecy, simultaneously heard the furious roar of Savras, the god of prophecy.

"Juanito, that damned pig-head actually used power word magic to detect a black hole fan! Does he want me to die immediately!? Bastard! Idiot!" Then there was a long list of celestial language that not many people could understand. It can be imagined that it must be

It's a lot of foul language.

It took Savras a long time to recover from his rage, and then he issued an oracle: from now on, it is forbidden to use prophecy and power word to inquire about any information about a person named Raven.

The dark man was dumbfounded by this result.

Prophecy is very useful, but it is by no means omnipotent. Generally speaking, high-ranking priests of major churches, gods and legends and above are unable to use prophecy and power words to detect things. If the target is obviously very weak but cannot use prophecy

According to past rules, spells and power words can only mean one thing: the background of the target is terrifying.

The dark man couldn't understand why it was possible to use it before, but this time it suddenly couldn't even be used by Savras, the God of Prophecy? Is that boy's mechanist blood really so powerful?
