Scarlet Jade Empire: facing the entrance of Herael Great Forest in the north; facing the boundless plain in the west, there is the largest half-orc empire on the ground; facing the sea in the east, there is a maze in the sea composed of islands and reefs, known The largest habitat of aquatic species, based on which a country suitable for human survival was established; as for the south is another large human being, Gailmani.
Whether it is the orc empire, the sea country, or the Huiermani, all business transactions between them have to go through Chiyu's business road.
The same is true for entering the Herael Forest. The safest route is to pass through Chiyu and enter from the front of the entrance.The route other than the entrance is almost a narrow escape, extremely dangerous.
The Scarlet Jade Empire occupies a very important position, coupled with the large amount of mine resources it owns, it deserves the title of "trade center".
There are countless talents in Chiyu, and capable people abound.The most famous one is the high priest of the Chiyu Priest Hall, the woman known as the "Great Prophet".
The great prophet is named Kristine, and her prediction hit rate is 100%, no matter what she says will happen, it will happen.
Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, neither can escape Kristine's eyes.The secret of this unprecedented ability lies in special magic.
Yes, she is a special magician.But it's not puppet magic like Lola, but a special kind of magic called divination.
The prophecy is absolutely accurate, and there will never be any deviation.Just like a few months ago, she had predicted that the throne of Ermani would be inherited by the youngest princess, and the result really came true.Although she didn't tell anyone about this prophecy...
The CD time of the Great Prophecy is one month.She can only predict once a month, and only 1 times a year.But 12% prophecy, no matter how long the CD time is, it is worth it.
As the high priest of Chiyu, Kristina will prophesy 6 times for the king and 4 times for the common people who visit the priest's hall every year.One of the remaining 2 times is to find a predestined person, and let fate decide who to prophesy for her.
The next time, it was left to myself.
It is rumored that every 12 months, a mysterious prophet will appear in a random corner of the capital, and will predict good luck for the first person who enters the shop.This has become the dream experience of countless people.
……
On that day, Kristine stood on the top floor of the priest's hall, leaning on the railing and pushing aside the scarlet fan in her hand, counting the days.A long-lost smile appeared on his face.
"Tai Mian." She softly called the guards behind her.
"exist!"
"I have a distinguished guest coming today, you go to the gate of the palace to meet him."
"Excuse me, the honored guest is..."
It was the first time Tai Mian heard the word "honored guest" from the mouth of the high priest.As the only personal bodyguard of Kristine, he has followed her for 9 years, even if the king arrived, he never sent himself to greet her.
He was very curious as to who was so holy that the high priest could treat him like this.
"A long-haired girl, she should have been exhausted when she came. Anyway, if you see a person who is about to die of exhaustion, it must be."
"Ah~~ yes!"
A person who is about to die from exhaustion, how should he complain about this character.Is there really such a person, who died of exhaustion at the gate of the palace... But since the high priest said it, it must be true.
Immediately after Tai Mian agreed, he rushed to the palace gate.
As the personal bodyguard of the noble high priest, Tai Mian's fighting ability is definitely top-notch.His appearance and temperament are also able to be elegant, and he will not embarrass his master at all.But because of this, he often passively attracts bees and attracts butterflies. Many girls inside and outside the palace have admired him for a long time.
But for so many years, Tai Mian has never accepted anyone's confession, and has been guarding Christine's side from beginning to end.His feelings for Kristine were seen by almost everyone except the client.
While chatting, Tai Mian had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
Standing against the scorching sun from morning to noon, only then did three figures slowly approach from a distance.
He squinted his eyes and saw three people standing in a row, and the two people on the side supported the little girl in the middle, walking slowly.
Damn, I really look like I'm dying of exhaustion.
Tai Mian rushed to meet him, "Excuse me, do you need help?"
"I, I'm looking for Kristine."
"So that's it. You are the high priest's guest. The high priest has been waiting for a long time."
puff.
"Hey! What's wrong with you! Wake up, hold on!"
……
Everyone who is smart should have guessed it. Is there anyone else besides Laura for this girl who is dying of exhaustion?The answer is no.
Tai Mian immediately sent guards to carry her into the priest's hall.
Although Laura was exhausted, her consciousness was still there, and it was not a problem to direct the puppet to follow her.
When she recovered her strength and opened her eyes, it was already night...
8-1 Great Prophet
Later, Laura got up from the couch in a trance.
"Oh, are you awake?" The high priest, Kristine, was sitting on a wooden chair beside her, drinking freshly brewed black tea.
"Qin, won't you send someone to pick me up?" Laura complained to her dissatisfied.
"Didn't I send someone to pick you up, at the gate of the palace..."
"What's the use of that! Do you know how far I walked from the city gate to the palace? If I die from exhaustion, can you afford it!"
Laura was not polite, and directly asked No. 2 to take a cup, and poured a cup of black tea for herself.She is probably the only person in this country who is so disrespectful to the high priest.
"Haha, well, then what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Kristine has long known about Laura's arrival.But the big prophecy can't predict specific information, so she doesn't know the reason for her visit at all.
"Hey... I don't have any serious problems, so I just want to ask you to prophesy for me. Last time, your prediction was accurate, saying that I would meet my bosom friend on that day, but in the end I really met a strange man! Now I'm already friends with him!"
Well, the strange man should refer to Nask.
"Friends? Laura, how do I remember that the result of the prophecy is 'the most important person in my life'?"
"Yes, the most important thing in life is not friends?"
Laura has never had friends, so naturally she puts friends first in her mind.
Kristine once predicted to her that she would meet the most important person in her life on X month X day after X years.Laura has been looking at the prophecy card, waiting for that person to appear.
When Nask came to the door, she actually wanted to jump directly.But for the sake of face, I still went around with him a few times.
"Friends or something, if you want to understand it this way, I don't care."
Kristine spread her hands.Whether it's a good friend relationship, a master-servant relationship, a partner relationship, or a husband-wife relationship, it's her business.Anyway, her job is just to make predictions, and how the other party views this prophecy is the other party's business.
"Right, right! Qin, let me tell you. That person is really interesting. There was a huge beast tide. Guess what he did? He—"
Oops, I feel like Laura can't close the chatterbox when she opens it.If it goes on like this, it will probably be a stinky and long story.Kristine felt compelled to interrupt her.
"That, Laura. Unfortunately, my prophecy for this month has been used up just now."
"Eh?"
"Well, when you were exhausted, I went out for a while. I met a strange guy and gave him a prophecy. So, I'm sorry." Kristine clasped her hands together in an apologetic gesture.
"It's okay, I don't have any serious problems." Laura couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.She walked so many ways today just to ask Kristine to make a prophecy.Although the content of the prophecy is almost a joke.
At this moment, Kristine adjusted her sitting posture solemnly and cleared her throat.
"Cough. Then, Laura, I actually have something... I want to ask you for a moment."
"what's up?"
"Well...Actually, when I predicted the future of the empire a few months ago, I learned that...next month, I will die."
"What, you're going to—"
Laura sprayed a mouthful of tea on the table and cried out.Kristine quickly covered her mouth.
"Shh! Shh!"
This is not a trivial matter, the high priest of Chiyu will die, this is a big event that caused a sensation in the whole country.If it is leaked, it will cause panic throughout the country.
So Kristine didn't tell anyone about it, because she couldn't trust anyone at all.The only one she trusts is Tai Mian, but Kristine doesn't want to drag him into an unknown crisis.
And now, the former acquaintance - Lola came to Chiyu.Considering Laura's special magic, Kristine thinks she can ask her for help.
After regaining her composure, Laura sat down again.
"Since you predicted that you would die, then quickly increase the guards. Isn't the king very important to you, go to him for help."
This is indeed the most practical method and the most reliable method, but Kristine shook her head.
"You don't know the current situation in our country. The royal family and nobles can't believe it. The king of our country has never had any heirs. Until a year ago, there was a son born to the king and a custom woman. What is it called... It seems to be Wu Ulu or something."
"what!?"
Laura was startled.I bought a watch last year, and that Wuwulu was still having breakfast with me this morning.I still eat preserved egg porridge.
Kristine was startled by her cry, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. You go on."
"Okay. Since Wu Wulu passed the blood test, he was fostered in a noble family. Only a few people know about this. After all, the king's son was born in Custom Street. It is not good to spread such a thing. So It is planned to let him hang out in the noble circle for a few years, and then recognize the royal family again."
This practice is common, and when there is a huge status difference in royal marriages, it is usually chosen to pull the lower status party to gild.
Even if the marriage is like this, how can the king be perfunctory when he recognizes his son?
"But here comes the problem. Prince Wuwulu suddenly disappeared a few months ago. It is said that he ran away. I don't know the whole story. Anyway, I haven't found it until now. After the king learned about it, he was mentally traumatized and recovered from illness. rise."
This king is also quite miserable. He finally had a son in middle age, and he ran away...
Laura nodded, showing that she could barely understand.
"Oh no, what does this have to do with your death?"
As far as the relationship between the king and the high priest is originally at odds.Why is the king's family affairs related to the life of the high priest?
"Well, Laura, what do you think. Who's the biggest man in this country?"
"O King and High Priest."
"The king is on the street, so who has the final say?"
"You."
"That's right. When the old king takes his last breath, who will inherit the throne will depend on who I support!"
"Oh~~~" Laura said politely, but she still didn't quite understand why this would affect her life.
"Let me tell you this. In the absence of Wuwulu being found, the nobles who are closer to me have a higher chance of getting the throne. Those who are not related to me wish I could die sooner."
So it turned out to be such a truth.
