Dorcas was still trying to figure out what the silver-haired girl meant when she suddenly turned around and looked at him.
Dorcas looked around and pointed at his nose. His action meant, "Ah, it's my turn?"
The silver-haired girl did not mind Dorcas's act. She spoke in a plain voice, "A hunter who pursues treasure. Will he fall into the trap of the treasure, or be abandoned outside the Starfield? Why don't you always look back? "
Dorcas no longer doubted her words. Without a doubt, it was his turn this time.
Luigi's previous title for Dorcas was "treasure hunter". Now that the silver-haired girl had used this title again, she was definitely referring to Dorcas.
However, Dorcas did hear what she said clearly, but the content was too vague. She kept going back and forth. She seemed to have reached the main point, but she quickly stopped. This way of speaking was exactly the same as those Prophets.
So the so-called "gift" was a prophecy, right? Right?
After all, the silver-haired girl had a master who was an Astrologer. This must have something to do with prophecies.
While Dorcas was thinking, Angor was also listening to the silver-haired girl's message.
Angor did not know if it was a prophecy or not. Even if it was, he did not care. He had a "Great Prophet" behind him. The prophet was not fully grown yet, but his prophecy ability was already showing its potential. With such a reliable support, why would he care about other people's prophecies?
Besides, even Witch Maya said that he should not pay too much attention to prophecies. They were only possibilities, not absolutes. So, he did not mind listening.
What Angor cared more about was the way the silver-haired girl addressed them.
Earlier, he noticed that both Lunatic Poet Luigi and Astrologer Gleipnir referred to Dorcas and the Dark Count in general terms instead of simply calling them by their names.
However, the bunny girl did not give him any definition, so Angor ignored this point.
Now, the silver-haired girl not only defined wizards, but also apprentices. This caught Angor's attention again.
Dorcas's title was "Treasure Hunter".
Angor thought about it carefully. It sounded right, but not completely right. Dorcas was indeed after treasures, but he wasn't the kind of treasure hunter who would do anything for treasures.
Just like in Empress' Town, after Dorcas learned about some of the secrets of the Goman Kingdom, he showed that he wanted to get involved and make a profit. However, when he saw the undercurrent in the Goman Kingdom, he knew his place and backed out.
This wasn't an attitude a treasure hunter should have.
Moreover, if Dorcas truly wanted to be a treasure hunter, he wouldn't have run a tavern in the Sandworm Market for decades.
Therefore, the way the silver-haired girl addressed Dorcas could only be said to be one-sided. This summed up one side of Dorcas, but there were many more sides to Dorcas.
If what she summarized was the most important aspect, then it could barely be considered a "summary" of Dorcas. But Angor did not think Dorcas' most important goal was to find treasure.
Perhaps "free-spirited brainiac" was a better description of Dorcas.
Next was Astrologer Gleipnir's title for the Black Earl — "Arrogant Overseer Who Desires to Reach Higher Positions."
This was actually a neutral and derogatory description. It depended on the speaker's tone and attitude to determine whether it was meant to be sarcastic or just a statement.
When Astrologer Gleipnir mentioned this title, he sounded more calm than sarcastic. Considering the current atmosphere, he could not say that he was mocking the Black Earl.
At the same time, the acceptance of this title also depended on the attitude of the person involved. The Black Earl did not refute the title. He did not agree with the content of the title, but at least he did not object.
The meaning of the title was simple. It meant that the Black Earl was looking for a higher position.
From the Black Earl's perspective, the so-called "higher position" referred to the legendary level.
As one of the few level-3 truth-finder wizards who stood at the top of the pyramid in the southern wizarding region, it was only natural that he wanted to break through the great barrier of the legendary level.
His Excellency Monchi had spent a large amount of resources and even used the Moonfrost Union's influence in the Abyss to request the cooperation of various organizations to capture the descendants of the demon gods. Wasn't this also to break through to the legendary level?
It could be said that as long as one stood in that position, who would not desire to advance further?
Overseer Who? No, this was a form of self-transcendence. There was no one looking down from above, only those who sought to improve themselves tirelessly.
However, just from the title alone, it could be considered a summary of the Black Earl's characteristics.
Most importantly, just this title alone had exposed the Black Earl's identity.
The Black Earl's clone had at most the strength of a truth-finder. Before this, the Wise Ruler had already guessed it, but did not expose it. But now, the Astrologer's words had almost completely exposed the Black Earl's identity.
"Arrogant Overseer Who Desires to Reach Higher Positions" was not something an ordinary person could accept.
If the Wise Ruler did not tell the silver-haired girl about the Black Earl, and purely based on her own conclusions, then it could be seen that the silver-haired girl had some ability.
Apart from the Black Earl and Dorcas, the third person to be defined was Wai.
"A Loner Who Hides in the Crowd."
This title was a simple and straightforward description. Crowds represented liveliness, and solitude represented solitude. In other words, it was a loner who hides in the crowd.
At first glance, it sounded like a narcissistic narcissist. But when combined with Wai's actual situation, it was not wrong.
In an inconspicuous fortune-telling shop in Mesopotamia, a lonely shopkeeper foretold the death of every customer. Combined together, it was a bit like that.
Furthermore, the silver-haired girl had said in her words to Wa Yi, "Remove the protection of the late night." Regardless of the meaning of this sentence, the "late night" in it had directly targeted Wa Yi.
Wai's fortune-telling shop usually only opened in the middle of the night.
Wai called himself a "poet of midnight". However, his poems were different from what people imagined. They were not poems of praise, but poems of death.
So, the silver-haired girl's prediction was correct. But just like Dorcas, it was only a part of Wai's personality, but not all of it.
Angor suddenly became curious. What would the silver-haired girl say about him?
On the other side, the silver-haired girl slowly looked around after finishing her words to Dorcas.
Then, she looked at the Black Earl next to Dorcas. Without a doubt, she was going to give the Black Earl a message.
With this, everyone had a general idea about the order of the silver-haired girl's message.
They thought the girl would order them according to their strength, but now it seemed that she was only doing it according to their positions.
Wai was at the edge, so he started first. Dorcas was next to him, so Dorcas was second. The Black Earl was floating next to Dorcas, so the Black Earl was third.
Angor should be the next one to be killed.
…
The silver-haired girl stared at the Black Earl for a moment and said softly, "Arrogant person who wants to climb to a high position, your message has been sent to you through the astrology of my body, Gleipnir. I won't say anything more."
With that, the silver-haired girl turned to look at the next person.
The Black Earl suddenly spoke, "Is the Demon Abyss a good thing or a bad thing for me?"
The silver-haired girl paused and looked at the Black Earl. She no longer looked arrogant like before. Instead, she looked at him calmly. "You should know better than I do. I can only interpret a Mind's Reflection."
Interpret a Mind's Reflection? So this is the truth of the message?
But what is this Mind's Reflection? Is it another way to describe a prophecy? Or is the message not a prophecy?
While everyone was puzzled, the Dark Earl asked again, "Is this the right choice?"
The Black Earl did not explain what the choice was, and no one knew what he meant. But the silver-haired girl seemed to understand. She thought for a moment and said, "You already know the answer. Don't ask me."
She paused and added, "Maybe the Origin World has the answer you're looking for."
"The cost of going to the Origin World is too high," the Black Earl said directly.
By cost, the Black Earl was not talking about resources. He was talking about time. There was no shortcut. The only way to go to the Origin World was through the void, which would take hundreds of years.
During this process, the Black Earl could not afford to do anything else. Space rifts, space collapses, and even space storms could appear at any time. Even if there were no natural disasters, there was always the possibility of encountering a space monster. If the monster was too powerful, the time needed to take a detour would be another cost.
Besides, the Black Earl was the clan leader of the Noah Clan, which had enemies. He could not go too far away from the southern wizardry region before he found a successor who could shoulder the responsibility.
Therefore, even if the Origin World was an option, he would not consider it as a priority.
The silver-haired girl did not comment on the Black Earl's words. It was the Black Earl's own choice, not hers.
Since the Black Earl did not ask any more questions, the silver-haired girl looked at the next Black Earl.
Yep, that's right, it's … Kael.
The silver-haired girl skipped over Angor and looked at Kael on the other side.
It was as if Angor did not exist.
Angor was a little confused, and so were the others. They all knew that the silver-haired girl was going according to the order of the participants. Why did she skip Angor all of a sudden?
"She's not letting Angor go last, is she? Oi oi oi, this is so unfair! "Dorcas' voice was already heard in the Spirit Bond.
But no one paid him any attention. The silver-haired girl had already begun her message to Kael.
As for why she skipped Angor, there would be an explanation later. There was no need to rush.
The silver-haired girl's message to Kael was the simplest one among all the participants. It was even shorter than the Black Earl's, who already received a message from an Astrologer.
"Search for the Tracer of the Past. This is not your home."
Kael did not know what to say. What did that mean?
Kael wasn't the only one who was stunned. Everyone else was stunned as well … That was it? Wasn't she telling Kael to leave?
Angor only wanted to know what Kael's name was. To his surprise, the silver-haired girl did not even need to explain the second half of her sentence. Everyone was curious about what she was going to say, let alone Angor.
Search for the Tracer of the Past? How did that match Kael's name?
Angor considered the question carefully. Kael was interested in all kinds of ruins, and he was studying them from different eras. But this was only "archaeology", not "searching for the Past".
How old was Kael? What was he looking for?
Kael was also confused. "I'm not looking for the Past. I'm … I'm …"
Maybe it was the girl's strange gaze, but Kael's mind was a little confused. He did not know what to say.
The silver-haired girl replied, "You don't, but your obsession does."
My obsession? Kael was stunned for a moment before he seemed to have thought of something. "My obsession is … is that remnant soul in my body?"
Khael's words reminded everyone of the silhouette they saw behind Khael's back in the Book of Truth.
Kael was not the one looking for the Past, but this remnant soul?
The silver-haired girl said, "Yes. The underground waterway where the Wise Man resides is not the place he's looking for. "
It was rare for the silver-haired girl to explain the message directly. She made it clear that Khael's remnant soul was an obsession, and his obsession had influenced Khael's intense search for ruins. At the same time, she also told Khael that the underground sewer wasn't the ruin the remnant soul was looking for.
This was the clearest explanation among all of them.
But who was Kael's remnant soul? Why was he looking for the ruin? The girl did not tell Kael about that.
Dorcas glanced at Karel and saw that he was in a daze. He probably couldn't speak either. So he decided to help Kael by asking, "Who's the remnant soul inside him? What's the point of searching for the ruin? How does it affect him? "
The girl seemed to be interested in Kael's remnant soul as well. She did not show any disgust at Dorcas's question. Instead, she considered for a moment and said, "I don't know who this remnant soul is. But he used to be very powerful."
She glanced at the Black Earl and continued, "Maybe he's about the same level as him, or maybe he's weaker or stronger."
In other words, Kael's remnant soul was at least a rank 2 truth-finder wizard. There was a high chance that he was a rank 3 truth-finder wizard. There was also a small possibility that he was above the legendary realm.
Everyone was a little surprised by this conclusion. They could tell that the remnant soul was a supernatural being. After all, normal people would not even have a soul after death. They would turn into spiritual light and be absorbed by the Spirit Tide. The chances of a remnant soul possessing a body were even lower. Only a supernatural being would have such a possibility.
But they did not expect this remnant soul to be such a powerful wizard when he was alive.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
If he wasn't powerful, how could he affect Wa Yi?
The girl continued, "As for what this remnant soul's obsession is, and what's the point of doing so …"
