Egg stood there, looking at the crystal ball in horror, as if it was hell and the birthplace of the devil.
He was in a daze for a few minutes before he regained consciousness and said in a trembling voice——
"I saw the end..."
"The end of the world? Tell me, what kind of end of the world will it be? Can I witness it with my own eyes in my lifetime?"
Alves said with a smile. However, Rhodes' heart tightened, because the end of the world is indeed approaching...it will only take a hundred years. Did these fortune tellers really see the scene of the chaos army invading at the end of the world? Rhodes left
He stepped forward, put his hands on the old man's shoulders, and whispered - "Speak slowly."
"Green, I saw the green ocean swallowing the land. Coming from the south, across the mountains and plains, countless green rivers gathered together, and the storm was approaching. On the broken earth, countless people were displaced. The mountains and rivers were faded.
, the brilliance of the sun and moon was dimmed."
The old man said with a trembling voice.
Rhodes couldn't help but feel nervous. Perhaps what Egg was talking about was not the Chaos Legion, because the Chaos Legion was not green. The only ones that could be the green wave were the greenskins...that is, the orcs and goblins...
The green ocean submerged the land, and Rhodes guessed that this might be the scene of the green-skinned army sweeping across the human kingdom.
"Can you see what exactly the green ocean is?"
Rhodes asked with a serious expression.
"Orc..."
The old man answered. His face was already covered with sweat marks. Rhodes could not see the scene displayed by the crystal ball, but he could already feel the terror of this green wave from these descriptions. In history, the human kingdoms of the old world had experienced countless
This was the first time he encountered an invasion by an army of greenskins. Based on the time he was at, Rhodes guessed that the only army of greenskins that might invade Kislev at this time was the invasion led by Grimgor Ironhide.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Alves came over and stared at the old man with strange eyes.
"It's never been clearer."
The fortune teller Ego answered.
"When will these greenskins arrive in Kislev? And how many are there?"
Alves asked next.
"The number is endless. As for time, I don't know... Sir, the diviner can only see fragments, not all. Moreover, these fragments may be just illusions. But what I just saw is indeed a real scene. I even
You can clearly see the ugly faces of the orcs, and you can smell the stench of blood emanating from their bodies."
Egg answered. Rhodes couldn't help but think of the old man walking among the armies of various countries in the opening animation of Warhammer, leaning on a cane and clinging to life.
"Well, if it happens a hundred years later, it will have nothing to do with me. A hundred years later, I will have turned into a pile of bones."
"No, not that long."
Rhodes said.
Alves turned to stare at Rhodes, as if to say - How do you know? But Rhodes did not make eye contact with him. Instead, he focused his attention on the group of fortune tellers again.
"Just stay here. If you see anything again in the future, remember to report it to me as soon as possible."
After Rhodes finished speaking, Alves was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down. The Lord of Blackhammer Castle was a strange man, and he couldn't do anything. Alves comforted himself.
And Rhodes' real purpose is not only for prophecy and divination. There is also a deeper purpose, to inspire people and inspire military morale when the time comes. Most people in the old continent are still very ignorant. They believe in some mysterious illusions, some...
What some mysterious people said. The army also needs some psychological comfort before going out. At this time, if a highly respected fortune teller predicts the victory of the war, it will greatly stimulate and enhance the confidence of the army. At the same time, it will also make the people full of hope.
will be frightened by the upcoming war. Of course, to do this, Rhodes must have a good communication with these fortune tellers. Some of the words may be true, but they may not be true. Just like everything said today,
You can't tell the people, otherwise it will only cause panic.
…
"You ask these people to speak for us, but it is not easy. I have communicated with them, and my personal feeling is that these people are as devout as believers. They respect the divination results very much and will not say hypocritical words."
After the fortune tellers were taken down by the guards to rest, Alves came up and talked with Rhodes in detail.
Worry was written on the face of the chief manager, but Rhodes just smiled——
"Piety is only relative. What you see is mainly the performance of Egg. But that doesn't mean everything. Do you know why they are so poor?"
Rhodes laughed.
"Why?"
Alves frowned, expressing confusion.
"It's because they can't say nice things. Divination is a occult science, and the outside world knows very little about it. People look to them for answers. However, some of the answers are very dark and scary, and there is no need to tell them. But some of the answers are very bright.
, which is very popular and desirable, can be widely publicized. This group of people is poor because of Yi Ge. If they know how to say something and what not to say, they can live a good life. I am thinking,
There must be a few people in this group who are more flexible-minded and unwilling to be so 'pious'. These people are our development targets. Even if there are not a few, there are one or two."
Rhodes said with a smile——
"They are not liars, because they do have the ability to predict certain futures and see certain pasts. If they are pure liars, people will not believe their lies after they have deceived them for a long time. But fortune tellers are different, they can see
The real past, so for the people, their words still have a certain degree of credibility. What we ask them is not to tell lies, but to tell them selectively, tell them what is good for us, and not tell what is bad for us.
.”
"So, you plan to support this organization?"
Alves asked with a frown.
"It's not about support, it's just about recognizing its legitimacy and giving them a place to live without wandering around the world. Occultism is indeed a discipline, but there are too few people who understand it. And some lords
I’m worried that these monsters will confuse the public, so the fortune tellers are not well received wherever they go.”
Rhodes returned thoughtfully.
"But there is one thing you must consider clearly. How will Diego view them? Are they heretics? Or are they potential threats? Witch hunters are always repulsive to these people who are knowledgeable in weird scholarship."
Alves reminded.
"I will make this clear to him. Don't worry, Diego is not such a person. Since he can live peacefully with a frost witch, then he will not embarrass the fortune teller. After all, the threat of the wizard is much stronger than the unarmed fortune teller.
