Chapter 0167 Gothic Sage
The heroic and upright Niyingt did not care about the anger of the Grand Duke. The novel of the sound of nature ww
Since becoming the youngest spell-breaking knight in Dulan Province, he has become the leader of the demon hunting knights here.
Sweep away the darkness, show mercy to the weak, and be fearless!
This 28-year-old young knight strictly follows the knightly motto passed down by the holy knights, rejects all luxurious aristocratic pleasures, and devotes all his energy to "cleansing evil."
"Dear Duke Linton, I heard that you have a sage named Goth under your command? I hope to see him immediately!" Niyingt stood upright in front of the Grand Duke, ignoring the dozen or so fully armed guards behind him. The fierce look directly stated his purpose.
Although it was a request, when it came out of his mouth, it didn't taste like a request at all!
The grand duke's face turned livid in an instant, and he angrily waved the exquisite scepter with a huge ruby on the top in his hand, roaring loudly: "Goth is the enlightenment teacher I hired for my little daughter. He is not a sage, let alone a sage. Not the spell caster you are looking for! You have no right to investigate the residence of a grand duke..."
It was a pity that the Grand Duke's roar was ignored by Niyingt. He stared coldly into the Grand Duke's eyes and said word by word: "I am not here today to investigate and collect evidence, and I have no trouble with this Gothic sage. "Maybe..." Niying paused slightly at this point: "Maybe I need the help of this Gothic sage for some things!"
Seeing the rare hesitation on Knight Niint's face, Grand Duke Linton couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Before he could refuse again, a clear and hearty young female voice came from a corner of the hall.
"If you want to see Mr. Goth, just come with me!"
Hearing this familiar voice, the Grand Duke couldn't help blurting out: "Ani, why is it you? Go back quickly, here..."
A beautiful girl wearing a light yellow dress walked in through the small corner door of the hall. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was Elena, the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke.
"Father, don't stop Knight Niint! This is actually what the teacher means."
The Grand Duke frowned and said, "Since it's Goth's wish, then you can take him with you! But I'm afraid these demon hunting knights will have to stay here."
Niying nodded, turned around and whispered a few words to his companion, and then followed Elena into the inner palace.
The place where the Gothic sage lived was a tall spire, and the only way to the top was a narrow spiral stone staircase. Innit's body is relatively strong, and the armor and stomach on his body are particularly thick, so when he goes up the steps, the metal armor makes strange noises from time to time as it rubs and collides with the stone wall.
Looking at the grand duke's little daughter with light steps in front of her, Innit couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
As soon as I arrived at the mansion, the goth knew about it. This title of "sage" is truly well deserved!
However, he came to visit this Gothic "sage" on this trip, but he came to ask for help according to the order from above. So even if the guy in front of him has revealed a hint of the "evil alien" nature, he still needs to be patient and wait silently for a better time to fulfill his promise.
Halfway through the walk, Innit finally couldn't help but ask: "Miss Elena, I wonder what you are learning from that Gothic sage?"
"Language, writing and history!" Elena replied without looking back. His tone was stiff and cold, as if he didn't want to talk more.
"I'm afraid it also includes stargazing!" Innit couldn't help but add.
Elena's slender body trembled slightly, but still did not look back, saying: "Not all knowledge is evil! Stargazing is very important to His Majesty the King. Why, Knight Inite, you plan to kill everyone Someone who has learned stargazing?”
Innit remained silent.
The stone spire is five stories high, and the Gothic sage is waiting for them on the fifth floor.
This is a wise old man wearing a red robe and a pair of monocles on the bridge of his nose. The length of his shawl is already white, his face is old, and his saggy skin has dense wrinkles on his face. His pupils were brown, and his eyes were cloudy and dim. Only the sharp light flashing under his eyes made him suddenly become a little otherworldly.
Niyingt looked around this small room. Although books, volumes, and parchments were spread everywhere, it surprisingly gave people a messy and untidy feeling. There is a large bookcase in the corner that goes straight to the roof, and it is filled with all kinds of books.
In the Demon Hunting Continent, although books are not that rare, they are not accessible to ordinary people. Looking at the size of the collection of books here, Niyingt even suspected that even the public library in Hedulan City might not have more and more precious books than the collection here!
"You must be a Goth! I am Niyingt, and I serve..." Niyingt stepped forward, knocked on his chest and introduced loudly. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by the old man before he finished speaking.
"Of course Wells asked you to come, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me!" A strange smile appeared on the old man's face: "He probably asked you to ask me, and it has been pestering him for the past month. So is the nightmare real or fake?”
The muscles on Niyingt's face couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Not even an hour after the messenger pigeon from the Demon Hunter Knight Headquarters in Eilanburg fell into his hands, this guy who was living alone on the stone spire knew about it?
Niyingte asked coldly: "Is this the special ability you awakened? Precognition or divination? Or soul-binding?"
His tone was full of disdain, because he had judged and punished more than one similar evil person.
Precognition ability allows evil people to sense the coming of crisis in advance, so as to avoid the pursuit of demon hunters. However, the biggest disadvantage of this ability is that it can only foresee things related to oneself, and cannot be used to help others.
Divination is better than precognition. It can sense the future fate of a certain thing through ritual props such as animal bones, cards, and crystal balls. Unfortunately, the divination results obtained are usually very vague good and bad, and it is impossible to see the future scene as clearly as precognition.
As for the last soul-binding technique, it is an extremely cruel and terrifying evil spell. The caster who awakens this ability can detain the souls of the dead and make them serve him. It can be to explore information, or to spy, or to absorb the life of the living... No matter which one it is, it is the evil behavior that Niyingte hates the most!
The Gothic Sage smiled slightly at the sarcasm of the young Law Breaker Knight in front of him, and didn't care. Instead, he took out a goose egg-sized crystal ball from his wide sleeves and handed it to the other party.
"I have etched everything Wells wants to know into this crystal ball. You just need to give this crystal ball to him."
Elena, who was silent beside him, suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at her teacher in panic. With the protection of the Grand Duke, only the teacher refused to admit that he had special abilities, and those demon hunters had no way to verify the teacher's identity as a "psychic".
But now the teacher took out the divination crystal ball himself, which was equivalent to admitting his identity in front of the Niint Law Breaker Knight.
This...
Sure enough, seeing the crystal ball, despite his special mission at the headquarters, the Niint Knight couldn't help but draw his sword, and the tip of the sword pointed at the old man's heart.
"Hmph, you are indeed an evil person! I think you should come with me and meet our Lord Wells in person!"
"No..." Elena next to him screamed and wanted to rush over to protect her teacher, but was stopped by the old man.
Although the long sword pointed at his chest, there was no fear on the face of the Gothic Sage. Instead, he asked back calmly: "It is indeed Niingte who hates evil! But Knight Niingte, I want to ask you, how old do you think I am?"
The other party's calmness made Niingte a little confused.
This Gothic Sage was the only 4th-level Holy Knight who was regarded as a god in the hearts of all demon hunters at the headquarters. If he really has the ability to predict, why did he not run away after noticing his arrival, but waited for him here?
Niingte showed a hesitant look on his handsome face and asked tentatively: "Eighty years old?"
This number is already a long lifespan in the demon hunting continent with an average lifespan of 70 years.
The Gothic sage smiled and shook his head, his tone suddenly became bleak and low.
"27 years old! I'm only 27 this year!"
This time, let alone Knight Niint, even Elena couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed.
Although they have been together for 5 years, she doesn't know the teacher's secret.
"Since I awakened the ability of a psychic at the age of 13, I have aged several times faster than others. Every time I use my predictive ability, my vitality is consumed! Especially in the past 5 years, I have had the same nightmare every night. A group... a group of powerful demons came to our world, took away everything we have, and turned everyone into slaves..."
"This is not what I predicted, but what our world wants to tell me! So I used some means to transfer my dream to your Lord Wells. Maybe in this world, only a strong man like him can lead the people to fight against those terrible demons in the dream together..."
Knight Niint's face turned pale.
The things in front of him were obviously beyond his control. He couldn't even tell whether what this hateful evildoer said was true or false. Although his will, which had been tempered for many years, told him not to trust any evildoer, in his heart, Niint vaguely felt that this Gothic sage was still trustworthy.
Just as Niint was hesitant, the Gothic sage stuffed the crystal ball into his hand, then turned around, opened his arms and rushed to the narrow window, shouting loudly to the sky.
"Mother of the World, I have done what you entrusted to me. Since you led me into that terrible dream, I want to ask you, does our world still have a future? Mother of the World, if you hear me, please tell me..."
As he shouted loudly, a sacred milky white light began to emerge on him. And the Gothic sage seemed to be unaware of it, and his steps were staggering and immersed in a terrible dream.
"No... No... No... It shouldn't be like this! Our world shouldn't be like this... Mother of the World, please let me see the appearance of that terrible demon..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Gothic sage was shocked.
"So this is what you look like! Devil... I saw you..." The Gothic Sage suddenly turned around, his face full of excitement: "Go tell Wells, they are in the East... ah..."
Niyingte saw it clearly. Just when the Gothic Sage was frantically trying to say something, his eyes were suddenly poked out, revealing two huge blood holes.
A strange voice suddenly sounded in the stone chamber.
"I didn't expect that there are still prophet who can connect the plane consciousness in this world? Humph, tiny bug, since you dare to spy on me, then go to hell!"
As the voice fell, the flesh and blood of the Gothic Sage began to wither, and almost turned into a dry skeleton in an instant. Then, under the horrified gaze of the two, it weathered into gray dust...
And in the distant wizard outpost camp that the two could not spy on, the human-shaped phantom bound by the heavy law chain suddenly opened his eyes, poked twice in the void in front of him, and blew a breath.
But such a slight movement has already caused the backlash of the law chain.
The human-shaped phantom groaned, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize his body again without collapse.
After a long time, he closed his eyes again and fell into eternal silence again! chapter;
