After some fiddling, the old man pulled out a specific card from a pile of cards. He stared at the card for a while and spoke slowly in a low and hoarse voice.
But the expression on Alves' face did not change at all.
"Haha, every dwarf has a miserable childhood."
He returned with a smile.
"No, that's not what I'm referring to, sir. Your childhood was spent in conflicts and struggles. Your father despised you very much, but you have a brother who treats you well. You are very good brothers, and only you
My brother will not treat you as an outsider."
The old man spoke slowly. Alves frowned. He had never talked about his childhood with others, and no one knew how Aubrey treated him in the past. Alves didn't know what happened to these guys in front of him.
Did they learn about their past? Is there really such a mysterious profession as a diviner? Or have these guys already investigated all of their past before going to Blackhammer Castle? Alves couldn't believe it, his face was expressionless
, continue to ask——
"How did my mother die?"
"He died in childbirth because of the difficulty in giving birth to you."
The old man answered calmly.
At this time, Alves couldn't sit still. If it was a fact that many people knew that his brother was kind to him, then it was absolutely impossible for anyone else to know the cause of his mother's death except himself and his father. His father
They have been dead for many years, and no one in this world knows this. Do these people really have the ability to predict the future and know the past?
"Then how did my brother die?"
he asked next.
"Sir, divination can only see some fragments, that is, with the permission of the gods, it can see some fragments, but it cannot see the whole 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 he had nothing to hide. Even the divination process, Alves watched the whole process, and they didn't show any concern at all.
Concealing ritual actions.
"Okay, tell me, what else did you see? Tell me everything."
Alves said that he is becoming more and more interested in this group of people. At least, knowing this, they are by no means ordinary people.
"The red earth and the frozen Great Wall, the young queen and the city on the snowfield, the hand of the king, oh, by the way...the queen's new minister."
The old man spoke incoherently. This time it was different. His tone was deeper, as if he had entered some kind of meditation. Alves wanted to ask more questions, but after careful consideration of the words, he found that the old man had already given the answer. Red
The earth - a battlefield full of blood? The frozen Great Wall - the Great Wall of the North that has been abandoned for many years. The young queen is at a loss. The city on the snowy field should be Kislev. Is it the hand of the king, the queen's new minister?
Are you talking about yourself? Alves couldn't help but have some doubts. There has never been a dwarf in history who can be a minister of a country. But these people were right about everything about the past. Maybe they can be useful to Rhodes? Alves thought so
He stood and called the guards - "Let them out, I will personally bring them to the lord for questioning."
…
A group of people who were labeled as liars were finally brought to the lobby of Blackhammer Castle. Here, Rhodes looked at this group of people with interest. They were ragged but energetic. One of the young people looked like a student.
, the face is full of fear, but it can be seen that this fear is innate, rather than just feeling panic after arriving here.
"A bunch of liars." Alves said, he raised his finger and put it on his forehead, "But compared to the title of liar, I would rather believe that they are diviners and good at occultism. I think you will be interested.
"
"Soothsayer?"
Rhodes asked curiously.
There are too many things in this world that he does not know. Rhodes knows the existence of divination and also knows that some people can use specific rituals to see fragments of the future and the past. Therefore, facing these "charlatans", he feels even more sad.
Most of it is actually expectations.
"Yes, my lord."
The old man returned respectfully and humbly.
"your name?"
"Ego Flamis, my lord."
"Okay, tell me, what abilities do you all have? Fortune tellers."
Rhodes asked with a smile. He neither despised nor believed it very much.
This attitude made several old people feel happy. Egg thought for a while and said——
"Divination, my lord."
"Does that mean you can predict the future?"
"It's just some fragments. I can't guarantee that all of them are correct. I can only get a glimpse of them."
Egg repeated what he had just said to Alves. He took the trouble to do so. It could be seen that he had said similar words many times and it had probably become a habit.
"Alvis is willing to bring you here to prove that you definitely have certain abilities, so I no longer doubt your identity. What I am interested in is, what kind of future can you foresee? Tell me, Kisri
The future of my husband, the future of the empire, and the future of the entire world.”
Rhodes asked with a smile. Chaos is rising, doomsday is coming, and the Eternal God is about to invade the medieval world with his army of Chaos. At present, only Rhodes knows these things. If these diviners can get a glimpse of it, it can prove that they do have something.
Ability.
I saw Yi Ge summoning several members and whispering. Although it was a whisper, Rhodes could actually hear it. On the battlefield, with Esun's blessing, he could hear sounds within a few miles, let alone
He said that these people were just standing less than five meters in front of him.
What they were discussing was whether they should conduct another divination on the spot so that the lord could get the answer he wanted. An older fortune teller believed that they had just divined the dwarf and it would not be suitable to conduct divination again in a short time.
The young man disagreed. He believed that if they could not convince the lord, they would be sent to the mines as slaves. A month of hard labor might wear down their bodies, so the divination must be done again. Even if
Dragging his weak body.
In the end, the group of people reached a consensus and agreed to do 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, they would wait until tomorrow. They would not be sent to the mine as coolies so quickly.
Soon, a group of people began a mysterious divination ceremony. They closed all the windows in the hall and lit candles in darkness. Egg took out the mysterious crystal ball from his arms and placed it on the table, piously.
Looking at it, the crystal ball was as big as a rugby ball, but it was crystal clear and emitted a lavender light. A group of people were chanting around the crystal ball, and Yigo took the dagger from Alves's hand and pressed it hard in his palm.
His heart was cut, and faint blood dripped on the surface of the crystal ball. Perhaps because he was a layman, Rhodes looked at the strange crystal ball and saw that it had no change, but the fortune teller's face showed a look of surprise and terror.
The expression seems to see the devil in the dark illusion...
