Baiyi maintained his composure in the face of the man who had been vilified by the history books. He looked around and said, "I don't like to talk to too many people. Just one person will listen to me."
When the soldiers heard Baiyi's pretentious words, their faces turned cold. They could barely hold back their weapons. They wanted to teach Baiyi a lesson, telling him to look at the bigger picture before acting cool.
Amused, Dotton said, "It seems that you don't know what you're doing."
"No, you don't," Baiyi said calmly. Baiyi said calmly. He raised his right hand slightly, and a circle of runes that no one in this era had ever seen before lit up between his fingers. In the next second, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers snapped and fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
Everyone's expression changed to one of shock. Doten, on the other hand, looked as if he was facing a formidable foe. He pulled out his staff and prepared to cast a spell, but another ring of runes lit up between Baiyi's fingers, interrupting his chanting.
'Silence!' Dotton's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized the difference in power between him and his foe. Baiyi had not chanted a spell, nor could he see the formation being constructed. He had not even sensed the fluctuation of mana, and yet he had been silenced. The difference in power was beyond what he could handle. If Baiyi wanted to, he could squash him like an ant.
The other two sorcerers, who were about the same level as Dotton, understood this as well. Their faces paled, and their chanting was interrupted without Baiyi's help.
Dotton quickly stopped his subordinates from acting rashly. Since he could not speak, he signaled them with his eyes to do as he was told. The soldiers could only reluctantly leave the room.
As soon as they were out of the room, one of the sorcerers grabbed one of the soldiers and whispered, "Alert the commander! Level 1 alert!"
"What?!" The soldier's face turned even paler than the sorcerers'. Level 1 alert was only activated when a powerful enemy was invading, but now, it was activated because of a single suspect?! As long as one wasn't a fool, they would be able to understand just how terrifying this person was.
"How could this person be so terrifying?!"
"I've never seen anyone who can cast spells so quickly and silently, and it's a method I've never seen before … This person's strength is beyond our imagination, don't act rashly." The Wizard reminded in a low voice.
This was the advantage of Rune Magic. The casting speed was fast and the fluctuations were subtle. Coupled with Baiyi's level, he was able to achieve such a terrifying feat. More importantly, the people of this era had never seen Rune Magic before, so they were shocked by it.
Thinking about it, he used magic arrays to scare people at normal times, and then used magic runes to scare people after traveling through time and space, he took advantage of the fact that he didn't see many people.
"Let's hope Lord Donton can hold him off a little longer …" the soldier muttered softly as he ran away.
Meanwhile, Doten, who was still in the room, was no longer as calm as he had been before. Cold sweat had crept up his back and seeped into the lining of his armor, causing him to feel a bone-chilling sensation. Doten was only a young man in his thirties. He had not yet reached the stage where he would be condemned by the masses. It was only natural that he was unable to withstand Baiyi's attack.
"Have a seat. I mean you no harm. You should know that I could easily kill all of you if I wanted to," Baiyi said. Baiyi's voice was solemn and dignified, but it was also laced with a strong sense of mystery. It was as if a deity was speaking to him, and it was hard for Doten to resist. Doten found himself a chair, lowered his head, and sat down, not daring to look Baiyi in the eye.
This was the result of Baiyi's experience with the War God and his knowledge of the Charlatan Walker. When Baiyi had been thinking about how to approach the current Emperor, he had first thought of how to arrange a suitable and safe identity for himself. After all, the lies he had concocted to deceive the townsfolk and Tisdale's ancestors would not be a problem. However, if anyone tried to investigate, they would find that his lies were full of flaws. Therefore, he had to create an identity that was trustworthy, prestigious, and respectable, so that no one would dare to question him.
After much thought, Baiyi decided to create a sense of mystery for himself. He wanted to use mystery to bring reverence. In other words, he wanted to play the role of a fraud.
Baiyi believed that with the Charlatan Walker's skills, the various cases of fraud he had encountered in the future, and even on Earth, as well as his experience with the Fourth Oracle of the Void, he would be able to play the role well.
"My name is the Prophet," Baiyi said.
Baiyi did not really like the title. Although it sounded cool and cool, it always made people think of him as a shaman, who was useless in armor and chainmail, or an alien spaceship that only knew how to kill peasants and peep at people, or a famous video game streamer.
Baiyi had no choice, though. This title was the best and most useful one he could think of. It would allow him to convince his teacher to listen to his every command, so that he would not try to change history. That way, when Baiyi returned to the correct timeline, he would be greeted by the Fairy, the Warrior, the Assassin Walker, or even the Dragon Lady with someone else's child in her arms.
That was Baiyi's plan. However, to Baiyi's surprise, Dolton did not react much to Baiyi's mention of the Prophet's name. In fact, Dolton was completely unfazed. He did not seem to be intimidated by Baiyi's magic at all.
'Did the Charlatan Walker's trick fail?' This was the first thought that popped up in Baiyi's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. In this era, many illusions and psychic spells had not been invented yet, so people would not be able to defend themselves against them. The Charlatan Walker's trick was definitely going to be a killer.
Baiyi searched his memory, and suddenly, he remembered this detail.
In this era, various religions and faiths had emerged, and they had even spread to other countries and regions. However, the Rohlserlian Empire had always revered sorcerers, and Rohlserlian sorcerers were a group of extremely confident, arrogant people. They did not deny the existence of gods, but they were arrogant enough to think that gods were nothing to be proud of. Otherwise, why would the gods not notice when they were ravaged by their own magic?
The Rohlserlian Empire had always rejected religion, but there were always some countries and factions that wanted to follow the path of religion. From time to time, various charlatans would sneak into the Rohlserlian Empire to preach, and these charlatans would pop up in remote towns and cities. The title of the Prophet had been used so many times that it had almost become obsolete. In the end, these charlatans would either be exposed and beaten to death, or they would be blasted to smithereens by sorcerers who had rushed to the scene, claiming that they were disturbing the citizens.
That was why the title of Prophet wasn't rare at all in this era, in fact, it was quite low. In the end, this era still didn't have the Church of Divine Grace to punish these fake Gods, so it was inevitable that there would be a flood of Gods.
'I really shouldn't have given myself this green title …' Baiyi sighed inwardly. However, since he had already said it, he had no choice but to continue acting. Maintaining his previous tone, Baiyi said, "I know you're skeptical of me, but soon, you'll believe me."
Dodun did not respond. He could not speak, so he listened as Baiyi continued, "Your preparations are just in time. The real enemy will be coming from the south soon. Go. A glorious battle awaits you. Come see me when it's over."
With a wave of his hand, Baiyi cast a high-speed spell that Dodun did not notice, teleporting him out of the house. At the same time, Baiyi removed the Silence Spell.
In the blink of an eye, Dodun had been teleported out of the house. It took him some time to regain his senses. He realized that Baiyi had used a teleportation spell, but it was so fast that he did not notice it at all. At this point, Dodun, who had witnessed Baiyi's magical prowess, was both fearful and respectful of him. However, he did not understand why Baiyi had been given the title of the Prophet. 'A powerful sorcerer like you should have just enjoyed a life of luxury and admiration. Why did you give yourself the title of a liar? '
"He must be a powerful sorcerer with some weird fetishes," Dodun concluded. "But he has a mild temper. He doesn't blame me for offending him. A person like him doesn't seem like the kind of thug who would slaughter an entire village, does he? "
Dodun pondered as he returned to the barracks to report the incident. He did not pay any heed to Baiyi's prophecy. As a standard Rohlserlian sorcerer, who had even dared to rebel in his previous life, Dodun did not pay any heed to the prophecy of the Prophet.
When Dodun returned to the barracks, he found that it was already bustling with activity. He thought that they were going to summon a large number of soldiers to deal with the strange sorcerer, so he hurried to see his superior, Captain Finn.
When Finn saw that Dodun had returned safely, he noticed the unnatural expression on Dodun's face. He nodded and said, "Go wash your face and prepare for battle!" Then, he turned back to his map.
Dodun thought of Baiyi's mysterious spell-casting techniques, and he shuddered. "Sir, I think I misjudged the situation earlier. That sorcerer is not as evil and cruel as the rumors have described him to be. He just has some weird fetishes. I suggest that we observe him for a while longer …"
Captain Finn raised his head and said, "It's not a battle with the suspect. It's a demonic invasion from the south! We'll talk about the suspect later. "
Dodun froze on the spot, as if he had been struck by lightning. Baiyi's words echoed in his mind like thunder. "The real enemy will come from the south soon. Go. A glorious battle awaits you …"
