“Go and find the magnificent treasure hidden among thousands of paintings.”
"Everything lost in this world will eventually return."
"But please do not disturb the princess's sleep. A knight who has already lost his hometown will never tolerate losing his last treasure."
"Be careful, the knight's blade is stained with great blood!"
270 Misinterpretation of Subtleties
It is not a very clear prophecy, which is a common problem with prophecies - not only does it require people to figure out the meaning of each sentence, but it also requires the person receiving the prophecy to have a huge amount of intelligence.
Otherwise, you may not only fail to understand the prophecy you received, but you may also go in the wrong direction from the beginning.
For example, Buffymors, the second god of the prophets, once made a prophecy for an emperor—the great empire fell because of the bloodline’s pursuit of immortality.
Judging from subsequent events, this prophecy should have been a warning to the other party to be careful of his son who was pursuing immortality in secret. As a result, the emperor thought that the prophecy was reminding him to be careful of the vampires who were pursuing immortality for all.
This seems to be fine, but the root of the interpretation is wrong. Therefore, the unfortunate emperor was always on guard against the vampires, and ignored his son who was hiding in the dark and coveting his Sequence 2 extraordinary characteristics.
What happened next was the clichéd rebellion of the prince, the killing of the emperor, and the empire's destruction due to the turmoil.
Not only can powerful prophets streamline the direction of predictions, they can even directly tamper with predictions.
But unfortunately, the prophets also bear the original terrible curse—the prophets will eventually die from their predictions.
Therefore, prophecy, from ancient times to the present, has always been a pit that everyone wants to obtain but everyone will fall into.
After the man tried to interpret it according to his own understanding, he said to Sanchez:
"It is said that the remnants of the Victoria Dynasty appeared in the Fog City of Luolan and were recognized by the little girl. So, this prophecy points to the Victorian capital of the Lord of Painting Shadows?"
"The Lord of Painting and Shadow hid the nearly completely disappeared artist path and some other extraordinary characteristics in a certain painting?"
"But what does the fire that burns the world mean?"
But then the man fell into confusion. A fire that burned the world? This world had never seen such a disaster. Even during the noble rebellion, the fierce battle between the ancient gods and the primordial gods did not ignite the whole world.
Not to mention the latter.
But compared to this, what the man cares more about is the sleeping princess and the knight stained with great blood.
Apart from anything else, when he saw the Great Blood, his inspiration gave a very straightforward warning.
It seems that this great blood might correspond to a certain Sequence Zero
In response to the man's doubts, Sanchez smiled and said:
"The fire that burns the world should refer to the world in the painting of the Lord of Painting Shadows!"
"In the world of the painting, is that rumor true? Did the Lord of the Painting Shadow really imitate the original?"
Many people, even many gods, believed that the so-called world in the painting was nonsense. Because the world in the painting described in the rumor was smaller than their main world, but everything else was exactly the same!
Even the gods do not believe that this kind of terrifying ability can appear in anyone other than the Original, not even a Sequence Zero.
Because that is an ability that even gods find incredible. The man is one of them.
What’s interesting is that the number of people who believe in the existence of the world in the painting and those who don’t believe in it is almost the same.
And Sanchez is obviously one of those who believes it, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure.
"Obviously. This rumor is incredible, but it doesn't make sense if it's not true. You know my predictions can't be wrong!"
Sanchez said with great satisfaction the spiritual motto of his former god - My prediction cannot be wrong!
But as he was speaking, Sanchez looked at the last two sentences of the prophecy with a bit of surprise.
Don't disturb the sleeping princess and the knight who lost his hometown. This sentence is easy to understand. There is a princess sleeping in the place they are going to, and she is guarded by a knight.
But the next sentence is a bit scary.
Great blood? What is the upper limit of this greatness
The one who let his inspiration send out the warning should be Sequence Zero, but if it was Sequence Zero, why was it said to be a knight instead of a god
Mortals have killed gods? This is too far-fetched.
Only gods can kill gods, and even if they are not gods, they should be angels holding level zero seals. The latter is also the biggest confidence for the dragon species to launch a war of revenge in the Age of Gods.
Because of the excessive favor of the Original One, the dragon race not only has a large number of Sanks, or dragon angels, but they also hold the most level zero seals.
The continuation and success of the war of revenge throughout the Age of Gods was based on this and the division of the ancient gods.
Therefore, it is extremely rare for the Storm King to fight the Dragon God one-on-one without relying on the Level-0 Sealed Artifact.
And if God were not merely an angel, then his inspiration would not have been enough to warn.
Sanchez is indeed not a true god now, but since his uniqueness has been forcibly integrated by him, not to mention an ordinary angel, even a king cannot pose a threat to him.
Of course, this does not include the strange situation of the Storm King.
"Well, regarding the last two sentences, I think, combined with the context, it should be that the world in the painting is sleeping with the last princess of the Victorian dynasty, and there is an angel knight holding a zero-level seal as a guardian who is always by her side."
"And judging from the great war at the end of the Age of Gods, this Angel Knight should be a Sequence 1 or 2 artist. And that Level 0 Sealed Artifact should be the unique Lord of Painting Shadows."
"After all, the uniqueness of the other two gods appeared in the world later."
The man nodded to Sanchez's words, indicating that they made sense, because he could only come to a similar conclusion.
But for some reason, Sanchez's words always made the man feel a little uneasy.
The prophecies of the God of Prophecy will never be wrong. After all, the impossible event of the original death can be pointed out by the blasphemous stone tablet.
It is even less likely that the remaining prophecies will exceed the original difficulty of the prophecies.
But Sanchez's interpretation of his own prophecies always made the man feel that he was far inferior to his predecessor, the Lord of Prophecy Buffy Morse.
But he couldn't come up with a more convincing interpretation, so he could only accept the other party's statement with suspicion in his heart.
"So you want to invite me to go find a place full of paintings?"
The fact that the artist possessed nearly all of these supernatural qualities is fascinating enough, not to mention that many other supernatural qualities also disappeared along with the Victorian dynasty.
"That's right, and I've already got a lot of useful information. For example, the location of the capital of Victoria!"
"Oh, please tell me in detail. I remember that the old site of Victoria's capital was almost dug up, but no one has found the capital yet. I wonder how you found it?"
"I didn't find this, the orcs did!"
271 The witch's touch is really good!
"The orcs found it? I remember that the orcs were completely devastated after the end of the Monger Dynasty. How could they find the Victorian capital that no one else had found?"
This was really beyond the man's imagination. The old king that so many major forces had not been able to find for so many years was actually found by the useless orcs who had lost their ability to recover
Sanchez shook his head and laughed:
"Luck is a tricky thing, and you may not know that the old capital of the Victorian dynasty is in Saragan!"
"In Saragan? But I remember that the old site of Victoria Capital was not here. Ah, what force moved Victoria Capital?"
"Yes, although there is no concrete evidence, it is likely that the Lord of Painting Shadows moved the Victorian capital before his death. That is why those who came later found nothing at the old site of the capital. After all, they found the wrong place from the beginning."
"So you found it through your ability to predict the future?"
"That's right, but it's only half right. I predicted for myself where I would end up after completing the ritual, and the prediction pointed to the Duze Dynasty."
"So I used the friendly relationship I gained from a deal with the Lord of Light to investigate a little."
"As a result, I found out that the Duze people said they wanted to interfere with the remaining supernatural plague in the Saragan area, but in fact they never thought about caring about the life and death of the Saragan people."
"They use this excuse just to make it easier for them to transport weapons to the orcs they invested in!"
"Following this line, I found the true location of Victoria Capital."
"How about it, are you willing to cooperate with me? I can tell you directly that you can take whatever you want from the proceeds and take the lion's share. After all, what I really want is to perfect my own ritual. The rest of the proceeds are just extras!"
The invitation was very tempting to the man, but he had some doubts in his heart - few people knew what the ceremony of becoming a god on the prophet's path was.
But just from what he had seen so far, he didn't think that the Victorian dynasty, which had lost the Lord of Shadows and the Queen, could allow an angel of prophecy to become a god.
So in this case, is it possible that the cooperation is fake, and letting the sacrifice enter the game is real
"I have a very curious question that I hope you can answer. What exactly is your deification ritual?"
Sanchez wanted to answer immediately, but suddenly, he felt a shock in his heart.
I've already promised him that he can take the lion's share, so why should he care about my deification ceremony
Is he afraid of becoming a sacrifice, or does he want to have another level-0 seal
"This is not something worth talking about, and it concerns something very important, so please allow me to keep it secret for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man smiled and stretched out his hand:
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little curious. Since you have your own considerations, I won't ask any more questions. And, happy cooperation!"
Sanchez immediately stretched out his hand and said happily:
"I sincerely hope that our cooperation will be smooth sailing!"
The hands of both parties were clasped together warmly, and the expressions of both parties were extremely happy and sincere.
But in the hearts of both sides, the seeds of doubt have been thoroughly planted.
I just don’t know what kind of fruit these seeds will eventually produce.
-
The spaceship that Old Hank and Cole were on had arrived at their destination - Kish, a slave city-state near their old capital.
As a companion, Mozo, wearing an orange mask, naturally appeared beside the two of them at the right time.
However, Cole couldn't help but ask Mozo, who was wearing a hood:
"The hood you are wearing doesn't seem to be some extraordinary item, so can your attire really hide your mask?"
Mozo smiled and said:
"You've got one thing wrong. I only wear a hood because the sun is too strong here. As for my identity, haha, respected Mr. Cole. My mask is an extraordinary item that can interfere with other people's cognition!"
The mask of the Wuxiang Courtyard is itself an extraordinary item that cannot be imitated.
It would be extremely easy to add some abilities that could interfere with other people's cognition to such an important treasure.
Mozo remembered that there were many such treasures in the world. One of the more famous ones was an extraordinary item called the Beast Cloak, which was an item that only the demigods of the Faceless Path could make.
Its purpose is to transform the wearer into an animal in the eyes of others.
I remember that it was because of this extraordinary item called the Beast Cloak that Mozo, as Saint John, had the initial grudge against the witch - at that time, Mozo mistook the witch wearing the Beast Cloak for a large fox called the Harris Red Fox... .
Thinking of this, the corners of Mozo's mouth hidden under the mask twitched involuntarily, just like he didn't dare to buy any more dolls for a long time because he bought the doll that hid the real God.
Because he suddenly hugged the witch wearing a beast cloak and touched her all over, Mozo has been afraid to get too close to cute animals ever since.
Whenever he thought of these two points, Mozo couldn't help but sigh. The extraordinary world was really interesting and fucked up.
At least the doll is really beautiful, and the witch feels really good!
This may be Mozo's only consolation in these two matters.
"Ah, so that's how it is."
After hearing Mozo's explanation, Cole looked at Mozo's orange glowing mask with envy.
Old Hank ignored them and focused on the situation nearby.
After taking a quick look around, Old Hank said to Mozo:
"My dear lord, although this is the city-state closest to our hometown, it is still quite a distance away, and there are no decent resting places along the way. You."
Before Old Hank could finish, Mozo said with a smile:
"Are you worried that I can't stand the hardship of traveling in the desert? Don't worry about that. And since I want you two to take me there, I will naturally solve the problems on the road."
After saying that, Mozo took Old Hank and the others to a large chamber of commerce without knowing what was going on.
Then, in front of the astonished looks of Old Hank and Cole, Mozo generously bought a luxurious carriage and a high-level magical beast to go with it.
While paying, Mozo took the opportunity to hand a letter to the Chamber of Commerce manager and said:
"Please help me to present it to Her Highness the Saint and say it is a letter from the Lost Knight."
Because the slave trade is illegal in many countries and the Vatican.
