Age of Adepts

Chapter 242: Fate and variables

Views:

Perhaps knowing that it was impossible to get the answer he wanted from Greem, the thin boy turned around and rushed out of the hiding place without waiting for the answer.

An hour later, Greem saw the mastermind behind the scenes in a slum at the foot of the mountain.

An old man with eyes wrapped in black cloth.

On him, Greem could not "see" the slightest sign of magic power flowing, nor could he perceive any powerful mental fluctuations. But for some reason, when Greem saw him, a trace of awe and admiration immediately surged in his heart.

Sage? prophet? Or a prophet

The blindfolded old man lived in a remote and narrow low grass hut.

Along the way, Greem has seen many strange-looking figures in the surrounding alleys. These guys all looked exactly like the thin young man who led the way. They were inconspicuous on the outside, but there was a powerful force that suppressed restlessness hidden in their frail bodies.

It can be seen that those guys are hiding around the grass shed, closely protecting the blind old man.

And this blindfolded old man is obviously a big shot in the "evil ones" of this plane!

Now Greem finally knew why that thin boy was able to find him so easily. There is such a... guiding the way behind, presumably my arrival is also expected by the other party.

Greem hated these guys who were godlike all day long. Although they have the strange ability to communicate with the heaven and the earth, they do not belong to the common elemental witchcraft, so their means and ability to communicate with the heaven and the earth cannot be prevented and isolated.

So in the world of wizards, if you offend anyone, you can't offend a wizard with prophecy, otherwise you will die without knowing how you died!

"Welcome, guest from the other plane, I'm Marth!"

As the host, the blindfolded old man started with this sentence. In the speech, he did not use the hostile term "intruder", but used the more neutral "guest". This also fully demonstrates the attitude of the other party's desire to communicate!

"It's an honor to meet you here, Your Excellency Marth. My name is Greem, and I'm a wizard from the wizarding world. As for the purpose of my coming here, I think you already know something about it!" Greem brushed off his hood , showed his face, and politely performed a wizard salute.

Looking at Greem's young and handsome face, Mars showed a bitter smile on his face.

"I have already experienced the divine power of the great wizard in your camp. That kid Goth took the liberty to try it, and the bones that have been punished by your great wizard are gone. Even we are also affected by the plane. Backlash, I have lost my eyes since then! Your Excellency the Great Wizard can counterattack enemies thousands of miles away through the level of laws, and this kind of means is enough for me to worship!"

There is such a thing

Greem was also slightly shocked, but his face did not change at all, and he still looked at the Prophet of Mars quite sincerely.

Sages, prophets, prophets, different titles correspond to the same group of people, and changes in titles also correspond to their abilities.

Sage, almost everyone who just started practicing divination can get such a title.

Not every time they couple with the consciousness of the plane, they will get the feedback they want. Even if there is occasional feedback, it is messy and broken. Therefore, such people know bad luck, know good and evil, and it is easier than ordinary people to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

A prophet is stronger than a sage. Almost every divination and prophecy they can get the feedback of plane consciousness, but it is limited to the individual pattern and field of vision, and the information obtained from the plane feedback is also related to their strength.

These people have initially grasped the power of destiny, and can spy on the future through the laws of the plane. Therefore, they often become the leaders of certain races or tribes and enjoy great honor.

As for the prophet, it is even more terrifying.

They are often spellcasters with powerful powers, not only able to see through the future, but also use their own power to distort or change the direction of certain branches of fate to a limited extent. Therefore, wizards with the status of prophets are extremely terrifying even in the wizarding world.

Therefore, although Greem, who came out of the world of wizards, does not have any prophecy talents, it does not prevent him from understanding the depth of Mars' abilities in front of him through his superior knowledge.

To be honest, in such a small plane, under such brutal and severe suppression from the Demon Hunter Knights, he was able to successfully grow into a seer at the prophet level, which was beyond Greem's expectations.

Although such people do not have strong executive power, they have the powerful ability to see through the operation of the laws of the plane. They are more like a pair of eyes suspended above the long river of fate, ruthlessly and indifferently watching all the people wrapped in it ups and downs.

As far as Greem knew, there were many prophets in the Silver Alliance of the wizarding world, willing to give up all their witchcraft abilities, just to peep into the river of fate more and deeper. They hid in the prophet's tower of the Silver Alliance, and they hardly ever went out, but they could know everything that happened in any area of the Wizarding Continent.

They never intervene in disputes, nor abuse their abilities. They do the work of the Eye of Destiny peacefully, copying scrolls and organizing records every day and night. They used their hard work to record everything they predicted on scrolls, and then treasured and hid them in the secret room of the high tower.

Therefore, in order to understand certain confusions in past history, many powerful wizards often need to personally visit this group of powerless "lunatics", and use their rarest and most valuable knowledge and resources to obtain a person who can enter the prophet's high school. An opportunity to dispel doubts.

But now, in another small plane, an alien version of a prophet stood in front of Greem, which made him a little confused.

If you borrow the eyes of this alien prophet, don't know if you can see your future rise

Just as some ridiculous thoughts were spinning in Greem's mind, the blinded Maas prophet smiled lightly.

"Your Excellency Greem, don't expect me to help you. Every prophet is tightly bound to the plane of his birth. Even if I exhaust all my strength, it is impossible for me to cast my sight To a place as far and deep as the wizarding world."

"But didn't your excellency predict my arrival?" Greem asked puzzled.

"That's because you are in this plane and you have left that great wizard!" Prophet Marth showed a troubled expression on his face, "If you stay with Your Excellency the great wizard all the time, then my line of sight will not be able to see you at all." Dare to bet there. But when you left the Greenland forest, and your fate track and mine have some integration, so I saw you, and also saw the mission in you!"

"Your Excellency Mars, as a powerful user of this plane, don't you reject my identity?" Greem thought for a while, and finally asked the most difficult question to answer.

"Fate! What is fate? Many people mistakenly think that we are above fate, and we can change fate by peeping through it. However, it is often difficult for prophets with this kind of thinking to survive." Speaking of this, Ma Si paused, as if thinking of someone or something.

It took him a long time to wake up from his memory, and then he said: "Actually, these people are all wrong. No matter how powerful the prophet is in the world, he is still the slave of fate and cannot become the master of fate. Every person and thing in it is firmly locked, and the destiny trajectory of all things is running silently according to a certain law, a certain law, and there is no possibility of breaking free.”

Greem listened silently.

"What is fate

This is the unsolvable answer that all prophets are struggling to find.

Some prophets believe that destiny is the inevitable result of all the rules of a world operating in accordance with the system. As long as all preconditions are the same, a unique result is bound to be obtained. As a result, if you accumulate more, you will gather together and become destiny.

And some prophets believe that destiny is a strange force independent of ordinary rules. Although it will be coupled with the existing world to a large extent, but at the same time of coupling, it is constantly changing itself. The long river of fate is tortuous and infinitely extendable, and may be divided into different levels, which are full of unpredictable variables. Therefore, the direction of the river of fate is constantly changing, and while changing, it is also accepting new objects.

These points of view obviously place fate in an extremely lofty position, considering it to be one of the highest rules of power in the multiverse. This kind of high-level rules is beyond the control and control of ordinary low-level creatures. The only thing they can do is to understand and accept it, and make good use of it.

Seriously speaking, every person, every substance, and every element living in the multiverse has its own unique destiny. And this fate can become stronger or weaker with the continuous coupling of the host and the multiverse.

But if a certain plane chooses to close itself, then everything in this plane will become fixed and predictable. Even going one step further, at that time, the fate of the entire plane may become predictable!

Therefore, as long as any plane does not want to become a pool of stagnant water, it must constantly incorporate some outsiders to add some variables to the fate of the plane. It's just that in many cases, whether this variable is good or bad, I am afraid that the power of destiny of the plane itself cannot be fully controlled. "

Listening to the knowledge enlightenment of this alien prophet, Greem's body couldn't help trembling slightly.

At this moment, he seemed to understand the reason why he unexpectedly appeared in the wizarding world.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, he is a "variable" that the wizarding world pulls in from outside the multiverse!
