Chapter 830: Prophecy
Under the gaze of those deep eyes, Kakasima felt that her soul was frozen, as if there was no secret in the whole person, she couldn't believe that this was a power that a mortal could have, especially the starry reflection in her pupils, just looking at it made people feel so small...... lw0。
Doris sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and gently pulled Henry's arm: "Please don't embarrass her, this person just saved the lives of our mother and son, and swore allegiance to Wade, he should not be a bad person." ‘
'Rest assured, I have no ill intentions, just some questions that need answers, such as a prophecy about the continent of Aztec. After saying that, Henry restrained his momentum slightly, but still stared at the female shaman without giving an inch.
Ever since he learned from Stephen that the other party was coming for his son, and with a prophecy, he immediately understood that this matter was not simple.
It is not easy to predict the future, even legendary spells cannot increase the accuracy to more than fifty percent, and in addition, the accuracy will continue to decrease as the time goes from the future, and most ordinary mages will predict things in the next few hours to a few days at most, and legendary mages will not make predictions for more than a year.
The future is full of uncertain factors, and only individual beings born with fate can make accurate predictions, the most famous of which is the founder of Candlekeep, the prophet of the entire multiverse, Arlando.
He made numerous prophecies during his lifetime, most of which have been fulfilled and a few that have not yet arrived.
Among these fatalistic scrolls, the death prophecy of Baal, the god of killing, is the most widely known, and even the gods themselves are in awe of it. This shows how rare and precious true prophets are.
Although Henry had never met anyone who really possessed the gift of prophecy, it was clear from the behavior of the female shaman that she must have believed in the person who made the prophecy from the bottom of her heart, otherwise she would never have traveled thousands of miles to a completely strange world in search of a newborn baby.
Kakasima took a deep breath and explained, holding back the fear in his heart, "That's right, I'm here with a prophecy and a mission. The Great Ancestral Spirit prophesied that one day in the future, our tribe would be wiped out, and only one person could save it. In order to find this person. I wandered around in Aztec, but many years passed and I didn't find a single clue. In the end, it was a wise man who used guò divination to figure out that the person I was looking for was in another part of the sea, which is what you call the continent of Faerun. ‘
'Interesting, so you disguised yourself as a slave just to sail by boat?' Henry asked, touching his chin.
'Yes. Aztec can't build a big ship that can go deep into the ocean, and your people don't want to carry passengers, so that's what I have to do. But you're right, the beautiful stones in that box aren't worth much to us. Stephen only spent a few iron swords and two bags of salt. I have to say that he is a mean, cunning guy. In the name of the nobles of another continent, many chiefs are looking at this point. A lot of slaves were sent as a gesture of friendship. ‘
Kakasima didn't mean to hide it at all, and replied very simply. Especially when he mentioned the leader of the Kestrel Mercenary Regiment, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Because the inhabitants of the Aztec continent believe in animism, they are in awe of nature. They believe that lying will be retributed. So whatever you say is what you say, and no one has ever dared to lie, even if the consequences may lead to your own death.
Of course, this also has something to do with the relatively primitive life of the locals.
Maybe the whole world is playing a big joke on mankind, the more backward the place, the more people care about their integrity, and once they lie, they need to take huge risks, for example, the barbarian tribes in the north, as long as they are caught lying, they will be exiled immediately.
The inhabitants of the prosperous regions are the opposite, and the inhabitants are treacherous and cunning, sometimes nine and a half out of ten sentences are false, and there is nothing that even Winterfell, the pearl of the Northlands of Tyre, the god of justice, can do.
'O my God! So many gems were exchanged for only a few swords and salt?! Doris finally exclaimed.
Although she had heard someone say before that some primitive tribes living in the depths of primeval forests would often exchange gold, silver, precious stones, and the skins of precious animals for daily necessities, she was still shocked by such an outrageous transaction price.
Kakasima replied to the young mother, "The beautiful stones are of no use to us as ornaments, and the soft metals that you call gold and silver are far less valuable in Maztec than an iron sword. As long as you can keep me by my master's side to serve him and protect him, I can write a letter to the tribe to give all these things, and they can even completely obey your orders to fight against other tribes. ‘
'Oh? Can you tell me why your tribe is willing to pay such a great price, is it because of that vague prophecy? Henry, who has always been very suspicious, asked with a slight frown.
For one day your son will become our leader, leading the entire tribe to defeat a powerful enemy and build a civilized and powerful nation. He was destined to be king, and we were mere humble servants, so it was not against tradition to pledge early allegiance to his parents. When Kakasimma said these words again, the whole person became fanatical, and the eyes that looked at the baby were full of reverence, as if that was her faith, her qiē.
As a soul from Earth, Henry never thought that any adult would offer loyalty to a baby, and the so-called loyal subjects in the historical stories were only well disguised on the surface, plus they did not get the opportunity to usurp the throne. But at this moment, seeing the female shaman's expression and mental state, he began to believe that there were indeed very few people who could do such a thing, after all, faith could not be faked.
After hearing the prophecy, Doris's face instantly turned red, and she took Henry's hand and shouted excitedly, 'Did you hear that?!' She said Wade would be a king in the future! Build a powerful nation on another continent! OMG! It's incredible! ‘
As she picked up the sleeping baby, she muttered, 'Baby, Mommy knows you're going to have a bright future.' ‘
Seeing one's little (lover) completely fall into the illusion of the future. Henry couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
really responded to that sentence, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, especially the love of mothers for their children, is completely beyond the feelings in this world, and sometimes it may even override faith.
However, he himself was obviously not confused by this seemingly beautiful future, but stepped in front of the female shaman and lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me all about the prophecy, including the time, the place, who the enemy is, and what is the current state of your tribe, otherwise I may pull your soul out and torture it slowly in the next second." Don't take this as a joke! ‘
Under his threat, Kakasima couldn't help but shudder: "I know everything I have already said, and the prophecy does not mention a specific time and place. There are also no depictions of enemies, and I've been away from the tribe for too long to have a clear idea of what has become of it now. Before leaving, though. There are also more than 30,000 people living there, with thousands of valiant warriors, and there is simply no one around to compete with us. ‘
So you are a wanderer, unable to contact your own tribe and have nothing to prove your identity, just a prophecy that you don't know will be fulfilled. Just want my newborn son to shoulder a heavy responsibility? As he spoke, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly. showed a chilling sneer.
He now began to wonder if the woman in front of him with oil paint on her face was sick in the brain. Perhaps this prophecy never existed, and was just a fantasy in the mind of the female shaman. That's why the tribe drove her out.
'No! The prophecy is really zài! Please let me stay! Even as a slave! ‘
Kakasima sensed distrust in Henry's forehead, and hurriedly threw himself down to his knees and pleaded bitterly. For her, the sleeping baby in bed is the meaning of her own life.
Doris, who had always been soft-hearted, gently pulled down Henry's sleeve: "Your Majesty." She saved me and Wade, and she didn't look like a bad person, so let her stay. After all, children are still young, and it is reassuring to have a shaman who can treat them once they get sick. ‘
'Well, for your sake, but with an extra layer of insurance. As he spoke, Henry took out a multi-heart demon control ring from the dimensional bag, and put it on the female shaman's head without saying a word.
Kakasima instantly felt that something had forcibly broken into his brain, and in a matter of seconds, he was able to control it. She was now a little out of control of her thoughts, and even the soul stored in her body couldn't help her get out of this situation.
Henry glared at the other man's terrified eyes and warned, 'Remember, don't try to make a small move right under my nose, or this metal ring can turn you into a thoughtless puppet in a minute.' ‘
'Rest assured, I have sworn that I will always be loyal to your son until the end of my life. Kakasima was very solemnly awakened to the etiquette peculiar to the Aztec continent.
I hope so. ‘
After Henry finished speaking, he came to the head of the bed again, held up his little (lover's) pointed chin and kissed it, enjoying the stimulation of the soft lips, and it took a full minute before parting.
Feeling the plump figure of the young woman in his arms, he whispered, 'Rest well, I have asked the butler to hold a banquet after you recover, and everyone will know that Wade is my son.' ‘
'Hmm. Doris nodded meekly, and then asked reluctantly, 'Are you leaving again?' ‘
'Yes, I have a few tricky enemies that I need to deal with. Henry replied with a sigh.
If he could, he would have stayed with the young mother and son, but it was obvious that the Netherworld City would not have given him that much time.
'Then be careful, I'll be here until you come back.' ‘
Although she was a little reluctant in her heart, Doris still let go of her hand, and she was quite gentle and virtuous, coupled with a strong bookish atmosphere, the whole person exuded a unique charm.
'Don't worry, I'll be with you for a while when I'm done with everything.' Also, this girl named Esma will follow you in the future. ‘
As he spoke, Henry pulled out the little tail that had always followed him. Because of her mastery of concealing aura, Esma has not been noticed since she entered the world. (To be continued.) (lw0。 ))
