"According to the ancient records, a man named Jiang Fei will replace my apprentice and come to our world. I think you are that Jiang Fei," the old man said slowly.
"…" Jiang Fei did not say anything, but he frowned. The old man even knew his name. The ancient records were too detailed.
"Looking at your expression, I should be right." The old man smiled.
"What else do you know?" Jiang Fei asked.
"I don't know much. This prophecy is too old. Moreover, I didn't get to read all the ancient books. I only skimmed through them," the old man said.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Jiang Fei said coldly.
"I don't have long to live. Even if you don't kill me, I won't last three days," the old man said as he pointed at his chest.
Jiang Fei looked at the old man's finger and saw a bloody hole in the old man's chest. He could vaguely see that his heart was gone.
"Heartless Vegetables don't die, but can a person live without a heart?" the old man asked Jiang Fei.
"…" Jiang Fei stared at the old man. He was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he asked the old man, "What kind of answer do you want to hear?"
Jiang Fei was a person who had heard of books and read myths since he was a child. There was a book called Investiture of the Gods on Earth. In it, there was a Prime Minister Bi Gan. He was once taught by an expert. Later, his heart was dug out by the Demon Concubine. He used similar words to ask for a seal. If the other party said that he could live, he could keep his life. If the other party said that he would definitely die, he would not be able to live.
Now that the old man suddenly asked such a question, it was obviously not without reason. So, Jiang Fei was not in a hurry to answer.
Swoosh! As expected, as soon as Jiang Fei said this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up. His eyes, which were originally filled with despair, suddenly had hope again.
"Of course, I hope that you will do it for my own good!" The old man said. He could not tell Jiang Fei the answer directly because if he did, the seal would not count and he would definitely die.
"Then I say that you can live," Jiang Fei replied with a smile. He did not mind helping the old man because the old man's strength was relatively average. In other words, the overall strength of this world was very average. Therefore, Jiang Fei did not think that the old man could pose a threat to him. If he wanted to kill the old man, he only needed to think about it and an ordinary Spirit Pierce would be enough.
"What did you say?!" The old man was stunned.
"I said, you can live." Jiang Fei laughed.
"Ha … Hahaha …" The old man threw his head back and laughed. Then, the bloody hole in his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the heart inside did not grow back, the old man was suddenly full of vigor.
"Thank you, thank you …" The old man held Jiang Fei's hand and thanked him.
"Alright, since I've helped you, shouldn't you tell me everything that interests me?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Alright! Good! No problem! " The old man nodded, then said to Jiang Fei, "Here's the thing. When I was young, I used to be a Ranger. I used to go on adventures with a few friends until I found that ancient book in a ruin."
At this point, a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes. Then, he continued, "But because of this ancient book, we brothers broke up …"
Through the old man's description, Jiang Fei roughly understood what had happened. Originally, the old man's team had five people. They had different identities and gathered together because of the interest of adventure. It was until they found this ancient book full of prophecies that one of them had evil thoughts.
He suddenly swung his sword at his other companions. Caught off guard, three of his companions were killed on the spot. The old man was seriously injured and only managed to escape. However, the ancient book fell into the hands of that person.
Later, that person gave this ancient book full of prophecies to the King's Court. At that time, the originally weak Hapsburg Dynasty relied on the power of prophecy to become the most powerful city among the countless city-states. They even found the World Tree!
Although the old man was the first person to discover the ancient book, he only had time to read a few pages before he was betrayed by his companions. So, he actually knew very little about the contents of the ancient book.
"It seems that I really need to enter the palace …" Jiang Fei nodded after listening. Originally, he had planned to leave, but now the ancient book had attracted his interest.
If it was really as the old man said, that this was not the universe Jiang Fei was in, then this would undoubtedly become a new shelter. If Jiang Fei could not solve the problem in the Gamma Dimension, at least he could transfer his family and friends here. That way, although the universe they were in would eventually be destroyed, at least his family and friends could be saved.
Although Jiang Fei did not want to give up his own universe so easily, it was still good to have an alternative.
After making up his mind, Jiang Fei gave up the idea of returning to the Inheritance Space immediately. He stayed in the cell with peace of mind, quietly waiting for the Queen's interrogation.
About half a day later, the door of the cell opened.
"You! Come out! "A soldier pointed at Jiang Fei and said.
"Oh! I'm coming! "Jiang Fei nodded and took the initiative to walk out of the cell.
"Be obedient and follow me!" After coming out of the cell, Jiang Fei saw two heavily armed soldiers. The two soldiers took a step forward and sandwiched Jiang Fei in the middle.
"Okay!" Jiang Fei nodded, then obediently followed the two soldiers into the palace.
Jiang Fei observed as he walked. Although this palace was also made of wood, which was grown by the World Tree itself, it was very exquisite. It could almost be described as richly ornamented.
After walking with the two soldiers for about twenty minutes, Jiang Fei and the others arrived in front of the door of a side hall.
"Stand still." One of the soldiers warned Jiang Fei, then stepped forward to hand over the Palace Warriors. Then, Jiang Fei was handed over to four Palace Warriors to escort him.
"Swoosh! Later, when we meet Her Majesty, you better behave. Her Majesty has been in a bad mood recently. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you, "the leader of the Palace Warriors warned.
"Got it." Jiang Fei nodded, then followed the four Palace Warriors into the main hall.
After entering the main hall, Jiang Fei found that there were already a few people there. In the middle of the main hall, there was a beautiful woman sitting on the throne. She must be the Queen they were talking about. Apart from her, there was also the beautiful leader who had arrested Jiang Fei and two men in military uniform.
"Your Majesty! Caleras is here! "The leader of the Palace Warriors said.
"Okay, you may leave!" The Queen on the throne nodded slightly.
"Yes!" After the four Palace Warriors received the order, they turned around and left the hall.
