Quenched long order

Chapter 270 Prophecy and Test

Sauer followed the caravan to the heart layer, the middle part of Giant Stone City.

The people from the Dust Guild were responsible for the interrogation along the way.

As the caravan dispersed, Amanda took Sauer to a hotel.

"Saul, you rest here first. I'll go back to President Erwin to explain the situation. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"No problem." Sauer nodded.

"You can also go shopping. By the way, I'll give you the money." Amanda handed Sauer some gold coins, which are the currency of the Fanze Empire.

Sauer accepted it without any politeness.

The portrait printed on the gold coin is none other than the current emperor, Hydra III, a lean old man with a goatee. On the back is the map of the empire.

After Amanda left, Sauer left the hotel.

He first went to exchange some gold coins, and then found a tavern to sit down and listen to the news while drinking.

"I heard that many important figures have gone to the Imperial Capital recently."

"Don't you know? His Majesty the Emperor's 60th birthday party will be held next month. He likes some weird things and even has some special hobbies."

"Shh, are you crazy? You're talking nonsense like this."

"Who is talking nonsense!"

"Shut up, you!"

After staying in the tavern for a while, Sauer left.

After wandering around for a while, he came to the foot level, which is the bottom floor of Giant Stone City. It is the largest area of Giant Stone City and the poorest area, but it occupies the population of the eighth floor of Giant Stone City.

The houses on both sides are in disrepair, barren and dilapidated. There are quarrels everywhere, pitiful begging, and eager thieves. It can be said that you have arrived in another city.

He went into an alley.

"This guest, can you come in and let me do a divination for you?"

A hoarse voice came from the room.

Sauer took a look and found an old woman sitting in front of the crystal ball.

Thinking of the past several fortune-tellings about himself, he shook his head and replied:
"no need."

None of them succeeded, but instead destroyed several crystal balls and slightly injured several astrologers.

He continued to walk forward when another voice came from behind.

"Two lonely souls will eventually meet, one from the sky and one from the earth."

The old woman's voice became distant, as if she was telling an ancient story.

Sauer stopped.

Forget it.

Anyway, it's not me who suffers.

He turned and walked into the house.

The old woman had heavy makeup on her face, pearl earrings, and a faint smile on her thin red lips. She seemed to be happy that she had gotten a job.

Sauer sat at the fortune telling table.

"You won't be disappointed." The old woman smiled kindly.

Sauer nodded but did not answer.

"Please extend your right hand." The old woman said softly.

"No need to put it on the crystal ball?" Sauer asked.

The old woman shook her head.

Sauer thought for a moment and stretched out his right hand.

The old woman touched her hands cautiously, as if touching a flame. After that, she waited for two seconds before completely holding Shaoer's hand.

Seeing this scene, Sauer became interested.

This guy's method of divination is like those of magic sticks.

There was something relatable about him.

"Sir, many people must have divined for you before." The old woman said.

Sauer nodded cooperatively.

"But they all failed." The old woman approached the palm of Sauer's right hand and observed carefully.

She was so focused that she seemed not to miss any detail.

"With all due respect, sir, we cannot spy on your fate." The old woman shook her head slightly, but her tone did not show any regret.

I understand, I have to pay more.

"How much?" Sauer asked, preparing to pay.

Not for this divination, but for these routines.

He is paying for his memory.

The old woman shook her head to stop it and said:
"The so-called divination is to use the power of the starry sky to spy on the trajectory of destiny. Some people are powerful and naturally hide their destiny. There are also some people whose destiny is not in the starry sky, or even higher than the starry sky. Naturally, they cannot snoop."

Sauer nodded and said nothing more.

According to his experience, if you don't accept the payment for the first time, you may be trying to defraud a lot of money later.

That would be impolite.

"Then let's do it." Shaoer was about to stand up, but was caught by the old woman.

"Please wait a moment," the old woman prayed.

Saul felt the force in his hand and sat down again.

"Although there is no way to spy on destiny, everything in the world will leave traces on the starry sky. These traces can only be detected by extremely powerful astrologers. I have no way to do it, but there is another way."

The old woman slowly closed her eyes and continued:

"The stars will combine these traces into prophecies."

Sure enough... forget it, a prophecy is a prophecy.

Sauer's expression was cold.

"Please, give me some time." Then, the old woman muttered an unknown spell.

This lasted for about half a minute. The old woman opened her eyes and said:

"When a broken stranger sets foot on this land."

Her voice was muddy, like a stone stuck in her throat:

"The black mist will separate the sky and the earth and rebuild the entire world.

"The sun is fearful, the moon is cowardly, death will bloom in the blood.

"Only an omnipotent person can save everything."

When she said this, she frowned.

Also frowning was Sauer.

These words reminded Sauer of Ximu Port and the city lord Martin who wanted to take away the entire city.

He clearly remembered the prophecy Martin said when he confronted Martin that night, but he didn't expect to hear it again now, and in a distant foreign country.

"What does this prophecy mean?" He came closer.

The old woman spoke again, but did not answer:
“When the stars shine, even eternity sinks.

“The silent betrayer will repay everything.

“The first person to look up at the stars will eventually look down at the earth.

“Things born from the stars will also dissipate with the stars.”

It is a new prophecy.

Sauer wrote it down silently.

He felt that he could understand a lot of content, but he didn't feel it was very appropriate.

If someone can explain it, that would be great.

He looked at the old woman, who slowly opened her eyes.

"Do you know what the prophecy means?" he asked, with more respect in his voice.

The old woman looked at Shaoer with wide eyes, full of confusion. Then she blinked and asked:
"Excuse me, who are you?"

The previous mysterious aura disappeared without a trace.

"You just made a prophecy." Sauer asked tentatively.

"Prophecy?" The old woman scratched her head.

Shaoer looked at the old woman carefully and observed her expression. The air perception also covered her. If the other party lied, he could feel something strange.

Breathing is normal, heartbeat is normal, and there is nothing wrong with his expression.

The old woman in front of me is just an ordinary astrologer in the foot area of Giant Stone City.

"It's okay." He dropped some money, got up and left.

After returning to the hotel, he thought seriously.

I remember that the city lord Martin was very serious when he made the prophecy. I don't know much about this aspect and may be deceived, but Martin has lived for such a long time and is unlikely to be deceived. There should be no problem with the prophecy itself, especially the same prophecy.

"Broken stranger..."

Does it mean me? There is no memory of my identity in my memory, and the bone formation on my left hand is also very consistent... No, looking at it this way, the Crow of the First Legion is also consistent.

Sure enough, it is actually a very broad term, and it is worthy of being a prophecy.

The following content must refer to the black fog, the black fog that separates the world. It seems that if the black fog had not appeared, Martin would not have cared so much about the prophecy.

"The omnipotent man..."

Is it me? If the self seen in the memory is also part of the prophecy, it does meet the conditions.

But Bury’s star magic seems to be a better fit. There is also the prophet Stewart. Omniscient means omnipotent, and the prophet can naturally be regarded as the title in the prophecy. Moreover, according to Kraut, he also contributed to the fanciful disaster in Westwood Port.

Thinking of this, Sauer took a deep breath, came to the window, and looked out the window.

At the same time, the second prophecy also came to mind.

"When the stars shine..."

For this prophecy, he only thought of one picture, and that was the magnificent starry sky that made people stop.

Black Cat Berry's star magic comes from this starry sky.

The Starfall area is also this starry sky.

"There should be no other possibility. As for the eternity mentioned later..."

The words of the leader of the Black Domain Religion came to mind, and the story of the Eternal Ship came to mind.

"The silent betrayer..."

Sauer thought of some people and things, but he was quickly rejected.

He skipped this sentence.

"The first person to look up at the stars...could he mean the first person to make a wish?"

He thought of the message that Bangmai had brought.

It seems that something is connected together.

"I will eventually look down at the earth...does that mean I will fail?"

His thoughts drifted far away, to the town of Twin Towers.

The power of Xingren was beyond imagination. He was not sure whether the prophecy meant this, and how the prophecy came about was also a question.

"Things that are born due to the stars will also dissipate with the stars? Does it mean that the stars fall..."

Sauer shook his head and did not dwell on it. A prophecy is a prophecy after all.

He knew many stories about prophecies, and obviously the best thing to do was not to pay too much attention to the prophecies, and not to pay no attention to them at all.

A prophecy is a prophecy.

……

into the night.

There were soft footsteps in the hotel corridor.

Sauer opened his eyes. He was not sleeping, just resting.

Amanda didn't come to see him today, and she didn't leave a message.

The footsteps gradually came closer and became lighter, but they still couldn't escape Sauer's ears.

a man.

Sauer judged that after possessing a soul body, many details no longer need to be analyzed deliberately, and conclusions can be drawn naturally.

Click, the door lock turns slightly.

There was a soft creak and the door slowly opened.

Sauer closed his eyes, trying to see what the other person wanted to do.

The uninvited guest gently closed the door and tiptoed to the bedside.

Thief?

Sauer focused his air perception on the opponent.

The uninvited guest put his right hand in front of Shaoer's eyes and waved it, as if to confirm whether Shaoer was asleep.

Sauer remained motionless, and the other party posed no threat to him.

The uninvited guest took back his hand, walked to the window, opened it, and let the night breeze blow by.

"It would be nice if the wind was stronger."

The uninvited guest said something.

With a thought, Sauer controlled the air, and a strong wind blew into the house.

"Good luck."

The uninvited guest whispered, jumped up to the window sill, and then adjusted his posture. He stepped on the window sill with his right foot, put his left foot on the side, leaned his back on one side, raised his head at a 45-degree angle and looked up at the moon outside the window. With his hair blown by the strong wind, it gave people a A feeling of otherworldliness.

Is he posing?
Sauer was speechless for a while.

"We came from dust and to dust we will return." The voice of the uninvited guest was a little louder.

Sauer didn't move.

There was silence in the room.

An awkward atmosphere spread everywhere.

"Ahem." The uninvited guest pretended to cough, this time the sound was louder than before.

Still silence.

"What's going on?" The uninvited guest frowned: "Didn't Amanda say he is a right-hand man?"

While complaining, he left the window and walked to the bed.

The bed was empty.

"How is it possible? Where is the person?" The uninvited guest looked surprised.

"No one will sleep tonight."

A steady voice sounded in the house.

Like a whisper from a faraway land.

The uninvited guest turned around suddenly and saw a young man leaning against the window, turning his head to look into the distance. At this moment, the moonlight seemed to blend with the thin body, like a quiet landscape painting.

It was Sauer.

"Amanda didn't ask you to come, right?" Seeing the other party's surprised look, Sauer smiled.

With Amanda's character, it's impossible to do anything unnecessary.

There is no doubt about his strength. As for other considerations, such as spies, if Amanda was worried, she would not wait until now.

Apparently, it was another person from the Dust Guild who was worried.

"It's President Erwin." The unexpected guest put away his surprise.

"Saul."

"Valco." Valco turned around and lit the lamp.

The fire gradually grew brighter, illuminating half of the room.

Under the flickering candlelight, Valko's round and childish face was revealed.

Young, unexperienced, with clear and stupid eyes.

Sauer looked away and stopped looking:
"If my guess is correct, if you want to enter the Dust Guild, you need to pass your test, right?"

Valko nodded, feeling that he had been seen through by the person in front of him, and he quickly replied:
"President Erwin asked us to get something. Once we get it, you can enter the Dust Guild."

Sauer said nothing and looked at Valco silently.

This President Erwin is really good at using people. Before I even met him, he had already assigned me a task.

"This matter is not simple." Valko added.

"Lead the way." Sauer didn't plan to say more.

On the way, Valko briefly introduced the mission.

According to President Erwin's request, they need to go to the brain layer, the upper area of the giant stone layer, sneak into the home of an alchemist, and steal a relic called a light-changing mirror.

Even during the day, it is not easy to enter the upper area. As for night, it is even more impossible to enter through the gate.

"I'll go up later and you can come in again." Valko pointed to the top of his head.

Now the two of them are standing at the junction of the brain layer and the heart layer, with vertical walls next to them.

Sauer nodded.

Valko clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and recited silently for a few seconds, then raised his feet and walked towards the city wall. He first stepped on the city wall with his right foot, then his left foot. In this way, he stood completely on the city wall.

"This is my ability."

He walked up.

Ten minutes later, a thick hemp rope was thrown down.

Under the leadership of Valco, the two quickly reached the target location.

Even at night, there are people patrolling the Alchemist's house.

"I have stepped on the spot before. Our plan is very simple. Knock out the guard near the warehouse, sneak into the warehouse, steal the light-changing mirror, and then leave."

Valko pointed to the warehouse not far away.

Sauer made a no-question sign.

"My left, your right." Valko pointed forward with his right index finger.

The two guards were unaware that they had been targeted.

The two of them approached the guard from the left to the right, knocked him unconscious, and dragged him aside.

Valko took out a black key, inserted it into the door, and turned it gently.

Hey.

A soft sound.

The door didn't open.

Sauer felt energy fluctuations, not soul energy, but the energy of alchemical operation.

It's a voice!
Oops!

Alchemy behind the warehouse door is about to sound the alarm.
