The heroic Niyingte didn't care about the Grand Duke's anger.
Ever since he became the youngest Magic-breaker Knight in Dulan Province, he became the leader of the Demon Hunters.
Sweep away the darkness, show mercy to the weak, and be fearless!
This young knight, who was only 28 years old, strictly adhered to the maxim passed down by the Holy Knights. He rejected all the luxurious pleasures of the nobility and devoted all his energy to 'cleansing evil'.
"Honorable Grand Duke Wellington, I heard that you have a Sage Gurt under you? I want to see him right away! " Niyent stood ramrod straight in front of the Grand Duke, ignoring the ferocious gazes of the dozen fully armed guards behind him as he stated his objective.
Although it was a request, when it came out of his mouth, it didn't sound like a request at all!
The Grand Duke's face turned ashen in an instant, and he angrily waved the exquisite scepter with a large ruby at the top, roaring loudly, "Gurt is the first teacher I've hired for my youngest daughter. He's not some sage, and he's definitely not the Spell Caster you're looking for everywhere! You have no right to investigate the mansion of a grand duke … "
It was a pity that the Grand Duke's roar was ignored by Nient. He stared coldly into the Grand Duke's eyes and said word by word, "I'm not here today to investigate and collect evidence, nor do I have the intention to make things difficult for this Sage Gotham. Perhaps … "Niyingte paused slightly at this point," Perhaps I still need to borrow the power of this Sage Gotham for some matters! "
Seeing the hesitation on Knight Niyinte's face, Grand Duke Wellington couldn't help but be taken aback. Before he could refuse again, the clear and bright voice of a young woman came from the corner of the hall.
"If you want to see Teacher Gurt, follow me!"
Hearing this familiar voice, the Grand Duke couldn't help but blurt out, "Aine, why is it you? Go back quickly, this place … "
A beautiful girl in a light yellow dress walked in from a small door in the corner of the hall. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old. It was the Grand Duke's youngest daughter, Elena.
"Father, don't stop Knight Niinte! This is actually Teacher's idea. "
The Grand Duke frowned and said, "Since it is Gurt's wish, then bring him along! But I'm afraid these Demon Hunters will have to stay here. "
Ni Yingte nodded and whispered a few words to his companions before following Eileen into the mansion.
The place where the Sage Gotham lived was a tall spire, and the only way to reach the top of the spire was through a narrow spiral staircase. Ennete's physique was relatively sturdy, and the armor on his body was especially thick. Therefore, when he climbed up the stairs, the metal armor would occasionally make strange sounds as it rubbed against the stone walls.
Looking at the Grand Duke's youngest daughter, Infinite couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
As soon as I arrived at the mansion, the Goth knew. The title of "Sage" was really well-deserved!
However, the reason why he came to visit this Gothic "Sage" was to seek help from his superiors. Therefore, even though the man in front of him had revealed a trace of the nature of a pagan, he still had to endure and wait for a better opportunity to fulfill his promise.
Along the way, Infinite could not help but ask, "Miss Elena, what are you learning from that Sage Gotham?"
"Language, writing, and history!" Elena answered without turning around. Her tone was stiff and cold, as if she was unwilling to talk more.
"I'm afraid it includes stargazing!" Infinite could not help but add.
Elena's slender body trembled slightly, but she still did not turn around. She said, "Not all knowledge is evil! Stargazing is something that even His Majesty the King values. Why, Knight Infinite, are you planning to kill everyone who has learned stargazing? "
Infinite did not say a word.
The stone spire had five floors, and the Sage Gotham was waiting for them on the fifth floor.
This was a wise old man wearing a red robe and a monocle on the bridge of his nose. His shoulder-length hair was already snow-white, and his face was old. His loose skin piled up into dense wrinkles on his face. His pupils were brown, and his eyeballs were turbid and dull. Only the glimmer of sharpness in his eyes made him look somewhat otherworldly.
Niyingte looked around the narrow room. Although there were books, scrolls, and parchments everywhere, it gave off a feeling that it was messy but not messy. There was a huge bookshelf in the corner that reached the ceiling, and it was filled with all kinds of books.
Although books were not that rare in the Demon Hunter Continent, they were not something that ordinary people could get their hands on. Looking at the scale of the collection, Niyingte even suspected that the public library in Heduran City couldn't compare to the number and value of books here!
"You must be Gotham! I am Niyingte, I am Feng … "Niyingte took a step forward and kowtowed as he introduced himself. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by the old man before he could finish his sentence.
"Of course it was Wales who asked you to come. Otherwise, you would not be able to see me!" A strange smile appeared on the old man's face. "He probably asked you to ask me if the nightmare that has been haunting him for the past month was real or not."
Niyingte's facial muscles could not help but twitch.
The messenger pigeon from the Elanburg Demon Hunter Knight Headquarters had only been in his hands for less than an hour, and this guy who lived alone in a stone spire already knew about it?
Niyingte asked coldly, "This must be the special ability that you awakened! Foresight or divination? Or the Soul Restrain Spell? "
His tone was full of disdain because he had judged and punished more than one heretic like this.
The foresight ability could allow heretics to sense the arrival of danger in advance, and thus avoid the pursuit of the Demon Hunter Knights. However, the biggest disadvantage of this ability was that it could only foresee things that were related to oneself, and could not use it to help others.
Divination was slightly better than foresight. It could use ritual tools such as beast bones, cards, and crystal balls to sense the future of a certain matter. It was a pity that the results of divination were usually very vague, and it was impossible to see the future as clearly as it was in foresight.
As for the Soul Restrain Spell, it was an extremely cruel and terrifying evil spell. Spellcasters who awakened this ability could detain the souls of the dead, and make them serve them. It could be probing for information, prying into one's privacy, or even sucking the life of a living person … No matter which one it was, it was an evil act that Niyingte detested the most!
Sage Gotham smiled at the young Mage Knight's sarcasm, not bothered at all. Instead, he took out a crystal ball the size of a goose egg from his wide sleeves and passed it to the other party.
"I have etched the information that Wales wants to know into this crystal ball. All you need to do is to deliver this crystal ball to him. "
Elena who had been silent at the side suddenly widened her eyes, and looked at her teacher in panic. With the protection of the Grand Duke, as long as her teacher refused to admit that he had a special ability, the Demon Hunter Knights would not be able to find out that her teacher was a 'spiritualist'.
But now that her teacher had personally taken out the divination crystal ball, it was equivalent to admitting his identity in front of the Mage Knight Niyingte.
This …
As expected, seeing the crystal ball, even though he had a special mission from the headquarters, Knight Niyingte could not help but pull out his sword and point it at the old man's heart.
"Hmph, you are indeed an evil person! I think it's better for you to come with me and meet our Lord Wales in person! "
"No …" Elena who was at the side screamed and wanted to rush over to protect her teacher, but was stopped by the old man.
Although the sword was pointed at his chest, Sage Gotham's face did not show any signs of fear. Instead, he asked calmly, "As expected of the Niyingte who abhors evil! But Knight Niyingte, I would like to ask you, how old do you think I am? "
The other party's calmness confused Niyingte.
This Sage Gotham was specially requested to meet by the only Grade 4 Holy Knight who was regarded as a god by all the Demon Hunter Knights. If he really had the ability to predict the future, why did he not escape after sensing his arrival, but instead wait for him here?
Niyingte's handsome face showed a hesitant expression, and he asked tentatively, "80 years old?"
In the Demon Hunter Continent where the average lifespan was 70 years old, this number was considered not low.
Sage Gotham smiled and shook his head, his tone suddenly becoming melancholy.
"27 years old! I'm only 27 years old this year! "
This time, not to mention Knight Niyingte, even Elena could not help but cover her mouth and exclaim.
Although they had known each other for 5 years, she did not know her teacher's secret.
"Ever since I awakened the ability of a psychic at the age of 13, the speed of my aging has been a few times faster than others. Every time I use my ability to predict the future, it consumes my life force! Especially for the past 5 years, I have been having the same nightmare every night. A group … A group of powerful demons has descended on our world, taking away everything we have and turning everyone into slaves … "
"This is not something that I can predict, but something that our world wants to tell me! That's why I used some methods to transfer my dream to your Lord Wales. Maybe in this world, only a powerful person like him can lead the people to fight against those terrifying demons in the dream … "
Knight Niyingte's face turned pale.
The situation in front of him was obviously out of his control. He could not even tell if this hateful evil person was speaking the truth or not. Although his strong willpower told him not to believe in any evil person, deep in his heart, Niyingte felt that this Sage Gotham was still trustworthy.
Just as Niyingte was hesitating, Sage Gotham stuffed the crystal ball into his hands, then turned around and opened his arms to the narrow window, shouting loudly towards the sky.
"Mother World, I have done what you have entrusted to me. Ever since you led me into that terrifying dream, I have wanted to ask you, does our world still have a future? Mother World, if you can hear me, please tell me … "
Following his loud shout, a sacred milky white light started to appear on his body. Sage Gotham seemed to be unaware of it, his footsteps staggered as he was immersed in a terrifying dream.
"No … No … No … It shouldn't be like this! Our world shouldn't be like this … Mother World, please let me see the appearance of that terrifying demon … "
As soon as he finished speaking, Sage Gotham's body trembled.
"So this is what you look like! Demon … I see you … "Sage Gotham suddenly turned his head, his face filled with excitement," Quickly tell Wales, they are in the east … Ah … "
Niyingte could see it clearly. Just as Sage Gotham was about to say something, his eyes were suddenly pierced by someone, revealing two large bloody holes.
A strange voice suddenly sounded in the stone room.
"I didn't think that there would be a prophet in this world that can connect to the consciousness of planes. Hmph, insignificant worm, since you dare to spy on me, then go and die! "
As the voice fell, Sage Gotham's flesh and blood began to wither rapidly, and in an instant, he turned into a skeleton. Under the horrified gazes of the two, he turned into grey dust...
In the faraway Magus outpost camp that the two were unable to spy on, the human silhouette that was bound by layers of law chains suddenly opened his eyes. He lightly poked the empty space in front of him twice and blew.
However, such a slight movement had already triggered the backlash of the law chains.
The humanoid shadow let out a muffled groan, and it took him a great deal of effort to stabilize his body so that he didn't collapse.
