Chapter 745: The Demon King: Cadmus is grateful for the beasts, not the beasts
"It's you!" William's mouth showed a beautiful arc.
Fairy tales match reality!
This handsome-looking boy with a smile like the sun was the lucky boy predicted by the [astrologer] in the fairy tale that William knew.
(From "The Devil's Three Golden Hairs" from "The Grimm's Fairy Tales"!)
This lucky son who was predicted to marry the king accepted the king's test and was about to go to hell to pull out the devil's three blond hairs.
Although William didn't know how he did it, and he looked so confident.
You know, not even William knows the entrance to hell until now.
The boy detected by the magic mirror was just an ordinary boy.
A mere mortal can do things that even William may not be able to do!
William is actually very curious!
But for William, it is even more important to obtain [Astrology], a destiny-based witchcraft.
He has been delaying this for a long time.
So he ordered the magic mirror to find out the country where this [lucky son] was.
Once you know the specific object, it is not a problem for the magic mirror.
The magic mirror quickly found out the country from which the handsome boy set out.
William also had an impression of this country. It was the Principality of Rockcrook that he had visited some time ago. It was separated from the Osma Empire by the Kingdom of Nadia.
At that time, William stayed in the Principality of Locke Crocker for a while, but found nothing, so he left.
Unexpectedly, it was actually dark under the lamp!
William just put a mark on [Lucky Son], and then turned into the wind, and in a short time, he arrived at the capital of the Principality of Rockcrook.
William appeared, and in front of him was an old man with white hair and beard. He was wearing simple clothes and looked like an... old farmer.
He stood calmly in front of William, not surprised at all by William's sudden appearance.
"You're here. I've been waiting for you for a while." The old man with the white beard said to William calmly.
"The king's astrologer?" William was stunned for a moment, then his heart moved, and he asked tentatively.
"Yes, I am exactly the person you are looking for who has mastered Astrology!" the white-bearded old man replied.
"Yes, this is the revelation given to me by fate." The old man with the white beard nodded.
"Have you seen the future?" William was silent for a moment before asking.
An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness emerged in his heart. This was an uneasy feeling that others were in control of his destiny. He felt that what he did was in the eyes of others. This feeling made him feel very strange.
"That's right." The old man with the white beard showed a strange expression on his face, half-smiling, then shook his head and said.
"..." William was silent again. After a while, he asked, "Since you said fate inspired you, why didn't you come to me when I came here last time?"
"Because it wasn't the right time last time." The old man with the white beard said mysteriously.
"Then what did you see?" William took a step forward and stared at the old man with the white beard.
"I saw destiny splitting into two unrelated straight lines before my eyes, one leading to the palace of death, the storm raging, the earth torn apart, and the creatures enduring torture between the flood and the holy light!"
"And the other is the ladder leading to the future. I saw a figure standing in it, shrouded in the mist of fate, with infinite possibilities in front of me!"
The white-bearded old man spoke like a magician.
"You'd better speak human language." William thought about it for a while, then curled his lips and said to the old man with the white beard.
"Okay!" The white-bearded old man said straightforwardly, "I see two possibilities for my fate. One is that I am killed by you and my astrology is taken away by you. The other is that I take the initiative to teach you [astrology].
] If you achieve great results, you can also get a lot of rewards. So which one do you think I should choose?"
"..." William was speechless for a while, looking at the [astrologer] in front of him with strange eyes. Where was the image of the expert he had agreed upon?
"Those who spy on destiny must pay a price! How do you think I got so old?" The old man with a white beard rolled his eyes at William and said.
"What price?" William's eyes narrowed and he asked this crucial question.
"There are any prices, but the first thing is often lifespan. If you look at your destiny once, you will lose more or less lifespan, and you may not be able to clearly see the trajectory of your future destiny, but the price must be paid!"
The old man with white beard said.
"Also, the more powerful the existence or the special situation involved, the more the price needs to be paid."
"Okay. What do you want from me?" William asked.
"Water of life! I know you have these things!" As soon as he mentioned the reward, the white-bearded old man's eyes became eager.
"Is this also what you can tell from the future destiny trajectory?" William asked.
"Hehe..." The old man with the white beard just laughed.
"...Yes...a deal!" William still had a lot of [Water of Life], so he took out a small part to make a deal. William thought it was a good deal, "Only if I really learn this witchcraft!"
"Of course!" The white-bearded old man showed a proud smile on his face.
This smile made William feel a little uneasy.
He suddenly asked, "Did you also show the way to the boy who went to pull out the three golden hairs of the Demon King?"
"Yes, I saw some tracks of the future, so I helped him." The white-bearded old man, or the astrologer, admitted straightforwardly.
"What did you help him with?" William asked immediately.
"I told him what problems he would encounter along the way, and then I told him how to deal with them, the way to hell, and how to pull out three blond hairs from Cadmus' head!" said the white-bearded astrologer.
"Why did you do this? And, Cadmus?" William asked by the way, what surprised him was the name [Cadmus].
This was a name that surprised him but was also somewhat familiar.
Cadmus, the dragon-slaying hero in Greek mythology, transformed into a dragon in his later years and disappeared.
It was with the help of his descendants that we were able to kill the nine-headed dragon lizard.
