Noble Emblem
133 The saint who knows the art of prophecy
There was a fresh earthy smell in the dungeon, and little Jessica sat on the ground with her back against the mud wall. Because the master has left, the dungeon is now dark, with only a beam of light shining down from the dungeon, like a beam of light.
It was very quiet in the dungeon, so quiet that it was a little scary. Little Jessica held her little head with both hands, and she was waiting for her master to come back. If the master doesn't come back, it means something happened to the master, and then she will wait here until she starves to death.
Death is not a problem at all for little Jessica, who has been wandering as a beggar for seven years. What she fears most now is to wander alone again.
Loneliness is more terrible than death.
But fortunately, the little girl's tragic emotions will not affect anyone's luck. After waiting for about an hour, the exit of the dungeon was opened wider, and then a young man with dazzling blond hair came out at the entrance of the cave, his smile like bright sunshine.
"Come out, we should go!"
…………
…………
Six days later, Beijun Town welcomed a young spellcaster wearing a red robe, accompanied by a little maid.
Beijun Town is a small town. There is no good natural output here, so it has never been famous. But two years ago, the Storm Goddess suddenly came and settled here, built a church, and promoted the teachings of the Storm Goddess. Since then, more and more people have Professionals pass through here, or use it as a base to go on adventures nearby.
At first, the original residents here were very surprised as to why the professional uncles would like their place where birds do not lay eggs. But after a while, they finally learned that there was a kind of tree growing on the cliffs of the mountains outside Beijun Town. A rare magic material. This magic material is very valuable, but it is also difficult to harvest.
As for the reason why the Storm Goddess Cult built a temple here, this is also the reason. Priests of the Storm Goddess Cult, after level five, can summon flying wind elements as servants. These wind elements can pick magic materials on cliffs without any danger.
Therefore, the Storm Goddess Cult is the richest force in Beijun Town. Rich as hell.
After Liang Lidong arrived in Beijun Town, he was quickly targeted by someone who was interested. He was a member of the Storm Goddess Temple. This is a normal thing. It would be strange for a force that lives here not to investigate after acquiring a powerful foreigner.
The best hotel in Beijun Town was full of professionals and seemed a bit noisy. When Liang Lidong walked in, it was quiet for a while. Then those people continued to talk noisily about their own affairs.
Because of the magic materials, Beijun Town is now a mixed bag. Although most of the magic materials have been taken away by the Storm Goddess, the remaining ones, even if you can use one or two, are not a small fortune. Four of them are worth a fortune. Gold coins, this is still the value during the picking period. If you store the magic materials for a period of time, take them out again after a few months. It can rise to eight gold coins per plant.
This magic material is a white plant with a nice name called Snowmelt Flower. It grows in three months and disappears like snow melted by the sun before it dies. Hence the name.
Liang Lidong came here just to buy Xue Ronghua. Although it is not the time to collect Xue Ronghua, there should be a lot of inventory circulating on the market, but the price is slightly higher.
Liang Lidong and his maid paid a deposit of two gold coins to the hotel owner in full view of everyone. Then we checked into the best room in the hotel.
When they went upstairs, the sound of whispers about him could be heard in the hotel.
"The gold coins were taken out of the space equipment. He is a space magician." A person with such vision is definitely a thief.
"The skin is fair and tender, and he has the disgusting arrogance that only nobles can have. He is definitely a descendant of a great noble."
"He has very strong mental power and quite good strength. In Beijun Town, only the Storm Saint can suppress him."
Soon, such discussions and information flowed to the heads of various forces through different channels.
After eating and resting for a while, Liang Lidong asked Joan and Jessica to go out to collect information at the same time. Around night, both Joan and Jessica came back. Liang Lidong synthesized the intelligence they collected and came to the following conclusions.
1. There are six forces in Beijun Town. The strongest is the Storm Goddess Temple, followed by the Silver Sword Mercenary Group. The power of local lords was eliminated.
Second, a year ago, a miracle occurred in the Storm Goddess Temple and a saint was designated.
Third, most of Xue Ronghua's inventory is now in the hands of the Storm Goddess Temple, and the price is expensive.
Fourth, the Temple of the Storm Goddess has a very high reputation among ordinary civilians and often does good deeds. But surprisingly, they are quite repulsive to professionals.
5. The Storm Saint is only fourteen years old. She is very beautiful and is said to be capable of prophecy.
Looking at these five main pieces of information, Liang Lidong's hand gently nodded to the smooth tawny tabletop. A power map of Beijun Town had already formed in his head. This was a habit he had developed after being a lord in the game for several years. Although it doesn't seem to be of much use now, it has considerable reference value for the compilation of intelligence and one's own actions.
Jessica went to bed after eating. After all, she was still young. She accompanied Liang Lidong on a bumpy trip and went out to inquire about news all afternoon, so she was naturally tired. But in fact, she didn't feel bitter at all. In the little girl's young mind, everyone must show their own value in order to be needed.
Now that she hasn't grown a big bun and doesn't have to mop the floor and wash clothes, it's natural that she should help her master run around and get information.
Having something to do means that the master will not abandon her casually.
In the game, Liang Lidong came to Beijun Town. He came here with his cousin and others to carry out an elite mission to exterminate the dark elves. At that time, his cousin had become a young female dragon knight with incredible strength. It was originally a very troublesome mission. The enemy was very strong, but he was directly bulldozed by him alone. Then the video was posted on the forum. From then on, the Dragon Knight profession immediately became more popular than the Great Swordsman.
It's a pity that the only dragon knight in the game is my cousin, and no one else can become a dragon knight!
Liang Lidong himself drew the map of Beijun Town from his memory. He looked at it with nostalgia for a long time, his face full of sadness.
the next day. Liang Lidong took his maid to visit the Storm Temple, intending to buy some magic materials from it. However, in order to prevent others from deducing his alchemy formula, he planned to buy a few more magic materials to hide it from others.
The Storm Temple was built very large, much larger than Liang Lidong's Wojin Temple.
The main entrance of the temple is a staircase made of huge pale golden stones. Liang Lidong walked up and looked through the hall of the temple. Looking towards the innermost part of the prayer hall of the temple, I saw a girl with short brown hair, standing on the chanting platform, leading a group of believers in prayer with her eyes closed.
Her skin is fair and smooth, and the left side of her hair is tied up with a light red ribbon, which makes her look very cute. The red ribbon seemed a bit long, sticking to her cheek and falling on her slightly protruding collarbone.
This girl was wearing a strange white short dress. She had a petite body and looked extremely weak. It makes people feel caring when they see it.
This is the most beautiful human girl Liang Lidong has ever seen. She is actually more beautiful than most elves. The only shortcoming is that she is actually a tablet...
In addition, this girl has a divine aura about her. Liang Lidong estimated that this girl's charm growth value should be at least 12, and most likely 14. Should have a special bloodline. Being a paladin is simply the perfect fit.
But Liang Lidong only looked at it twice and left. He has seen many beauties, not to mention the Persian cat and Xiaobai, the goddess Watkin alone is already an object beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Jessica also saw the girl. She stood there and looked at each other enviously. The girl didn't want to be beautiful.
However, she saw her master leaving and hurried after him.
Liang Lidong walked towards the side door on the right. If something is for sale in a temple, it will be sold secretly at the back. This is already an unwritten rule in all divine religions.
Liang Lidong quickly arrived at the back door of the Temple of Storms, and sure enough, there stood a philistine-looking man wearing a light yellow priest robe. Clergy who are more like merchants.
"I'm here to buy some finished Xue Rong flowers. I want the best quality, 20 plants. I want to see the goods on site. Please tell me the price."
When the cleric saw Liang Lidong's clothes, he said respectfully: "Dear Magician, please come with me."
Although his back is against the Temple of the Storm Goddess, this person knows very well who can be offended and who should be served like an elder.
Entering through the back door of the temple and climbing two flights of stairs, Liang Lidong quickly saw what he wanted, a room full of white, dried plants. Liang Lidong personally selected 20 plants that were in excellent condition, and then asked about the price.
Seven gold coins per plant... 20 plants is one hundred and forty gold coins, and it's not that fast to grab money. Liang Lidong, who had never taken money seriously, felt a little heartbroken at this time.
One hundred and forty gold coins already weighed nearly twenty kilograms... This weak priest was carrying a bag of gold coins and smiled happily: "Your Excellency, you are the biggest person we have received in the past few months. Fang’s guest. How about this, I will also provide information privately. For the sake of your generosity, how about I give you a question for free? "
Liang Lidong laughed. He didn't take the other person's words to heart, but still followed the other person's words: "I heard that a saint came out of the Storm Goddess Temple. Can you tell me about it?"
"Saint!" The cleric's expression immediately became a little strange. He didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, but after hesitating for a while, he still said: "You should have seen it when you came, right? Our saint is still She is a little girl, and she is the most beautiful person we have ever seen. But we all kind of hate her."
"Why, she is so bad?"
"That's not true, she is very nice, very nice, but her words are too effective, so we are all afraid."
Liang Lidong was a little curious and collected some strange information. This was the instinct of a top player. He took out a silver coin from his space backpack and put it into the other person's hand: "Can you tell me what's going on?"
The clergyman silently put the silver coins into his wide sleeves, as if nothing had happened, and then he said: "Our saint's name is Emma Watson, she should be the most beautiful in the world." She is the most beautiful girl. Two years ago, before she became a saint, there were countless unmarried people to her, from old men to young men, too many to count."
"After she became a saint, no one would dare to harass her." The clergyman had a hint of admiration on his face, but soon his expression became strange: "She also received a prophecy given by the goddess. Her technique was extremely accurate every time, and we were very happy at first, but then we started to get scared, and no one dared to go to her to predict for themselves."
"Why!" Liang Lidong put another silver coin in the other person's hand.
"The thing started about a year ago. We have a very good child here, one year older than the saint. He is responsible for protecting the safety of the temple. One day when he was patrolling, he happened to meet the saint who came out of the temple to relax. Your Highness, your Highness the Saint, after looking at him for a while, suddenly said that if the child goes to the river to fetch water in three days, he will slip into the water and be drowned."
"Because we all know that the Saint can predict things, the child naturally took it to heart. On the third day, he stayed at home all day without going out, trying to avoid the Saint's prophecies."
"But he ended up dead."
Liang Lidong stuffed another silver coin over him: "How did you die?"
The clergyman held the silver coins in his hand, with some fear on his face: "The child's home was built on the mountainside. But in the evening, for some reason, the whole house suddenly slipped from the mountainside. ’ He also went down and sank directly into the water. As a result, the child was drowned alive in the river.”
"Similarly, there are butchers, shoemakers, and sheriffs." The cleric sighed faintly: "The saint predicted their death, and they tried their best to escape to avoid their own death, but no one succeeded. The most pitiable thing is the Sheriff. The Saint said he would die on his bed at home, so he immediately left home in a carriage and fled overnight to the mountains and forests a hundred miles away. Do you know what happened? "
Another silver coin was pushed over.
"The Sheriff encountered a giant flying monster in the wild and was taken away as prey. As a result, when the monster flew over our town, it accidentally dropped the Sheriff... and fell onto the bed of his home. Became meat sauce.”
"From then on, we no longer dare to approach the Saint, and she no longer predicts our death."
"This is better. Our deaths are all determined by God. We can just wait quietly for that day to come. If we forcefully try to reverse our fate, we will suffer greater harm."
After saying these words, the clergyman left.
Liang Lidong chuckled lightly on the spot, a fatal prophecy?
When humans learn prophecy, they can only see some fragments, but if they know the way of their own death, they can completely avoid the same thing from happening. Even the goddess of fate cannot completely manipulate the fate of humans... In other words, Those deaths were all man-made.
Saint?
hehe! (To be continued...)
