The Fool of the Gods

Scorpio confessed that his thinking was very clear and simple.

When Cheng Shi left and Gao Ya mixed into the crowd to spread rumors, Scorpio was wondering if he could speed up the progress of this trial.

After all, no one knew whether Cheng Shi's plan would succeed, not to mention that there was a scavenger who was eyeing him covetously on the periphery at that time.

So he thought of a way. At midnight, when a new day came, he used his deduction ability to go to the future of Dolgod!

His purpose was to find someone, someone who knew when the life that should not be born would be born!

Scorpio was thinking that since there was a life that should not be born in Dolgod, no matter whether this life was really born, things about him would definitely cause a huge sensation in a certain version of the future, and at least there would be some historical traces or people who knew the inside story.

So he decided to go to countless futures to find this person, and then bring him back, let him lead everyone to find the life that should not be born, guard that life in advance, and thus change the future.

This is a very simple idea, and it is also a common way of solving problems for some assassins in the future who have special [time] deduction power. However, under the leadership of Cheng Shi in the early stage, Scorpio did not want to use this method because it would waste his chance to save his life.

But now, the remaining chance to save his life may not be able to save his life, so it is better to use it directly and pass the level as soon as possible.

So he went to the future, and at the moment when thunder sounded in the city of Dolgod, he activated his talent and embarked on the road of looking for people in deduction.

Scorpio thought that this needle-in-the-haystack job might exhaust all his energy, and he even made plans for failure at the beginning, but he never expected that he would be so lucky. After six deductions, he found a person who claimed to know about this matter in a future of Dolgod.

The other party was called Avros, a homeless tramp with scars all over his face and a hunched body. Except that his clothes were intact and his body odor was not pungent, he had almost no advantages.

When Scorpio found him, he was chatting with a female citizen outside a tavern.

Surprisingly, the female citizen was not disgusted by Avros's ugly appearance, but had a great time chatting with him.

Scorpio was very sure that he was just curious, and it was not because the female citizen was too charming that he stopped for a while, but it was this coincidental stop that made him hear something from Avros that he was looking for!

The tramp leaned on the fence at the back door of the tavern, complimenting the female citizen in front of him with his leaky and hoarse voice, and his turbid eyes were filled with undisguised covetousness for the other's beauty and body.

"I have to thank the church for not driving people like me out of Dolgod, which gave me the opportunity to meet you, beautiful lady."

The female citizen drank some wine, and her fair face flushed. She stood still gracefully and nodded slightly, revealing a charming smile, which melted Scorpio... no, Avros' heart.

"I seem to have seen the most beautiful moon tonight." Avros praised shamelessly, making the female citizen tremble with joy. "I don't even know your name, Miss Moon."

"You are so sweet-mouthed, so you must have found a lot of moons for Dolgod. It's really strange. Wouldn't a person without status like you be driven out of the city by the soldiers of the Church Guard?" The female citizen smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth. Her tone was full of ridicule, but there was no disdain at all. "Just call me Moon. I like this name."

Avros straightened himself up for a rare moment. shape, and said mysteriously:

"Beautiful Miss Moon, I can't tell anyone this, but you are different. You are so elegant and intellectual. I can see that you are different from those gossipy women in noble families. I believe you will never tell my secret, right?"

The smile of the female citizen became more charming. She carefully looked at the tramp in front of her again. After looking around and finding that no one was eavesdropping around, she nodded implicitly, but her bright eyes were shining with excitement.

Obviously, she began to be interested in the man in front of her.

Avros raised the corner of his mouth, took a step forward, and whispered in Miss Moon's ear. His voice was hoarse and low, and when his voice was lowered, no one around could hear what he said.

But these little tricks were useless to Scorpio, because he was an assassin, and an assassin with keen five senses, so even if he stood far away, he could clearly hear what the tramp said.

"I'm not really a homeless person. I was once a member of the church, and I could even say that I was aBefore the church's guards were established, I also maintained the order of Dolgod."

Miss Moon covered her mouth in surprise and said in disbelief: "How is it possible?"

"Why not? Beautiful lady, you look very young. I guess you probably haven't heard of the place called the Inquisition. Of course, this institution may have been destroyed by a fire before you were born."

"I heard my father mention that fire! Could it be that you were a staff member there? So you are... so old?"

"Uh... beautiful Miss Moon, age is just a number and has no meaning. What is really meaningful is time. Generally speaking, the precipitation of time makes some people more attractive, isn't it?"

"Are you talking about you?" Miss Moon covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Obviously." Avros lifted his hair.

"Okay, I admit that there is a little bit, but I am more curious about your identity. Am I right?"

"Correct, very correct, you are not only beautiful but also smart. "

Avros spared no effort to praise, and the moon blushed.

"I am a staff member there. Although a fire and the internal strife of the church made me lose my original position, don't be so surprised. Darkness is everywhere, and there is no place that is truly clean, right?

But my colleagues in the church remembered the old friendship, so they did not drive me out of the city. Thanks to them, I can meet such a beautiful and moving moon today. "

"But my father told me that the church is the most sacred place. How could they..."

"Once, Miss Moon, your father was right. The church was indeed a sacred place. But since the pagans used the evil method to pollute Dolgod, the faith here is no longer pure!"

"Ah!" Miss Moon exclaimed and covered her mouth in fear. She seemed to feel that she heard something she shouldn't have heard, but curiosity drove her closer and closer to Avros, "What is evil?"

"Evil is... a blasphemous mystery that happened before you were born. "

The tramp saw that the person had taken the bait and did not continue to talk. Instead, he smiled and retreated like a gentleman. He adjusted his clothes that were barely intact, slowly stretched out his hand and said:

"The rest of the story is the most unspeakable secret hidden under the beautiful life of Dolgod. I can't tell it here. Beautiful lady, if you have the courage, you might as well go with me to a place. When you get there, you may learn the most terrible and interesting story that has happened secretly in Dolgod in the past few hundred years...

So, are you willing to come?"
