Magic Tower Starry Sky

When things go wrong, it is not a good habit to pray to God and worship Buddha. Not only is it easy to be deceived, sometimes incorrect interpretations lead to worse results. But in Lost Land, when encountering difficult things, it is normal to ask a skilled magician to use prophecy-like magic. After all, this is a world with magic and gods.

For political entities, raising a group of magicians who are good at this is even more basic equipment. Because no one can guarantee when will encounter mysterious events that cannot be judged by common sense. At this time, only these professionals can be called in. Sometimes I feel confused about the ambiguous way forward, and I will ask such people for guidance.

To the surprise of the old emperor, the strong maid who stayed in the magic tower and served the witches moved the magic materials used as prophecy sacrifices in the warehouse to the ceremony room one by one, and placed them in piles. Put it where it is ready to be sacrificed. At the same time, the black-robed witches who followed Sophia also embedded the magic stone in a specific position, opening the second and third magic circles to protect the emperor.

"Grandma, you are..."

"Idiot. If you want to die somewhere else, don't die here. You are just giving your stupid grandson an excuse to die here."

For this witch who taught him, even if his beard is gray, he still has a way to make himself unable to hold his head up. As for the curse in his mouth, the old emperor didn't take it seriously, and said: "I have lived enough. And I have survived a crown prince, and now my grandson has waited long enough. I have worked hard to maintain this country all my life. Dare to say that the military country is more powerful than my father's era, but at least it has not declined. And when I die, I will not regret it. The future will naturally be troubled by future people. It is true that I will not die. Not afraid."

"It makes me happy to see you dying, too."

How could the old emperor, who had honed his face into an iron wall long ago, be afraid of a group of old women staring at him. But for this group of old witches, a little necessary respect is indispensable. There are quite a few of them, but they helped me at the beginning of my ascension to the throne, and even taught me when I was young. So the old emperor said: "Grandma Sophia, I am so happy to see that you are still quite healthy and peaceful."

Just before the young witches were about to start the ceremony, another group of people walked in. Wearing black veils and black robes, they were old and faltering, and came to the old emperor. None of them spoke first, they just looked at someone ghastly.

Move to the old position and sit down. This is a small magic circle that can watch the whole ceremony without affecting the ceremony.

The old emperor was familiar with the road and came to the room where the ceremony was held. Just like in the past, whenever they come here, they have already prepared everything that will be held. It's like a show off, telling yourself that they have foreseen everything.

However, the old emperor only found it funny in his heart regarding the respectful attitude of contemporary witches. For other old women, it would be considered polite not to shake their faces. How could it be possible to bow his head and speak so humbly.

Simply put, this four-story magic tower has no lethality. It is aimed at something more ethereal.

The leading priestess took the document from the emperor's hand respectfully, and stepped out of the way. The old emperor walked into the magic tower with only two trusted knights. It wasn't that he entrusted himself with greatness or trusted these witches. Rather, the only function of this magic tower is to increase the accuracy of prophecy, without any traps, attacking magic circles, etc.

But in the situation where the two parties do not want to meet, using this kind of handwritten letter to make a request is the next best thing to do. If there is another middleman to transcribe, then there is probably no need to use prophecy magic, it is just a waste of materials.

In fact, it is the best situation for the questioner to directly face the magician who uses the prophecy, because the strong emotion of the questioner is also an important key to improving the quality of the prophecy.

Not much to say, after receiving the request from Becker's official script from the attendant, the old emperor confirmed the content again, and then handed it over to the leading witch.

Seeing such people reappear in the younger generation, the old emperor did not warn them in vain, but just hoped that they would not step on the red line too early, otherwise another young life would die.

To be honest, he didn't resent his subordinates' enthusiasm. But the disadvantage is that few people can control their behavior. This kind of person is often unaware of the red line they step on. So the witches who used to have this kind of mentality were burned by themselves after they made mistakes.

Although these words sound like a little girl, eager to prove herself in front of adults. But the old emperor got another meaning from it, that is, they are unwilling to be lonely and want to make a difference.

"Teacher, they don't want to interfere with this matter, and they forbid us to assist. However, His Majesty took us in because he hoped that we could help at a critical moment. There is a reason for refusing. So I brought my willingness to contribute Sisters, in addition to proving that we can also stand alone, we also hope to contribute to the military country."

"Where's Sophia?" Although he guessed what the group of people were thinking, the old emperor still asked.

"Your Majesty." The leading witch, Pingting, saluted.

And when he came forward to greet him, the people standing in front were all unfamiliar faces. The same feature is that they are much younger than those they know. Basically raised in such an environment, witches are very long-lived. But the older group is unwilling to come out, does it mean that they don't welcome their intentions. And the younger group, do they have different ideas?

However, I don't know whether it's because of the influence of the closed environment or their own abilities. The thinking of the witches is very different from that of normal people. This was also one of the reasons why the old emperor was reluctant to contact these women.

In order to maintain the strength in their bloodlines, not only are there very strict standards for the selection of spouses, but sometimes they may even choose close relatives. Men, on the other hand, will only appear in their lives when they need them. During the rest of the time, the witches are kept in the magic tower like caged birds. It is to accept protection, but also to stay away from the interference of the world, thereby weakening their ability to predict.

Witch, in Midi, specifically refers to a female magician with a special bloodline. In Vader's military country, it refers to a group of bloodlines who are particularly good at prophecy.

Upon the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, the chief of the imperial guards immediately ordered his subordinates to remove layers of roadblocks and clear a road. At the same time, the gate of the magic tower was opened from the inside, and the contemporary witches stood at the gate to welcome the emperor.

Under the front and rear protection of the Imperial Guard Knights, the old emperor walked to a four-story magic tower in the palace complex. There are golden armored guards guarding them layer by layer, not only protecting the people in the tower, but also monitoring them.

Of course, on the matter that Duke Becker requested, he would implement it without any compromise, instead of asking the questions in his heart. According to his experience, those women listened to too much, and they tended to worry about gains and losses, interfered with judgment, and often answered irrelevant questions. This also made the old emperor realize that what people want to hear is never the truth, they just want to hear what they want to hear.

The weight of the word 'devil king', for an emperor, is not like that of ordinary people listening to bards tell some heroic epics in taverns, purely as an existence for the brave to crusade. That is a heavy term that may shake the country, even though the attitude of most people at the top of the military is to pretend to be stupid. But as an emperor, he had to plan for a rainy day, and even prepare for the worst.

Although he didn't want to see those weird women, the old emperor still agreed to Becker's request. Because he himself was a little uncertain about how to treat the two magicians.

Any nobleman who wanted to contact the witch in private would be greeted with the emperor's fiercest anger. No matter if it is wrong or right, hit it first and talk later. So even the Duke of Becker, who is a political enemy, didn't want to step on the old emperor's bottom line on this kind of matter, so he asked him to make such a request.

Although he is a soft emperor in the mouth of others, but he has been on the throne for ten years, and he has long been honed into an old fritters. The witches did not dare to point fingers at his state affairs, because that was the experience accumulated by the corpses of countless predecessors.

In order to prevent the words of those people from becoming a political weapon, the old emperor strictly controlled their freedom to contact the outside world. In the history of the military country, it happened more than once that those witches tried to use their prophecy to change the order of succession to the throne, national policy, and the direction of war. And every time, there is a political purpose behind it, not pure.

Seeing his old opponent on the throne hesitate, Duke Becker said loudly: "The price that should be paid will be borne by me. I only need the assistance of Your Majesty, and ask the witches for me."

I have been alienated from that group of people for a long time, and it was not until Duke Becker mentioned it today that the old emperor remembered raising such a group of rice worms, and frowned at the same time. Prophecy is not only for the future, if it is for the past, it can get a clear picture of people, events, places and things, even though it is expensive. But the point is that the answers you get are not necessarily what the person who asks wants.

'When a prophecy is spoken, it becomes part of the building of the future. ’ This is what magicians who can predict will often say ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It’s not that knowing the future can lead to good luck and avoid bad luck; sometimes those actions to prevent the future from happening will actually promote the realization of that future. So as long as it is a ruler with a normal mind, he understands that he should not rely too much on this group of people.

The emperor of the military country did not have much experience when he was young, and when things went wrong everywhere, it was easy to listen to this group of people. But when he got older and he was confident in doing things, he gradually stopped contacting those people. On the one hand, he doesn't like the feeling that he has to do things according to other people's words. On the other hand, as long as these people speak, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will definitely be fulfilled.

It would be easier to accept these people if they could be made to serve politics and control what they said. But magicians have never been so easy to manipulate and coerce, especially a group of people who can predict magic.

But not all those in power like these people. The struggle between theocracy and monarchy has always been a puzzling problem. Of course, the theocracy here does not just refer to the general gods, but generally refers to the right to explain the mystery.

This battle reminded the old emperor of an unconfirmed rumor: a master of prophecy lost a pair of eyes because of his relationship with those two, and cut off his continued improvement in magical powers.

So...has Grandma Sophia foreseen who she might provoke this time?
