Chapter 48 Going out to sea [VIP]
When Luke was suspecting that the old man was a fraud, the saint seemed to be thinking about something.
The future of ordinary people is more like a straight line, and only the fate of the strong can't be seen clearly by this old guy.
He looked at the young child in front of him.
Well, the devil is blessed.
The old man held out his hand to Luke: "Please take a seat. One of my students once mentioned you specifically."
Seeing that he had only invited himself, Luke hesitated whether to sit alone.
Finally, he sat down.
Unexpectedly, the old man began to close his eyes and rest.
Lujia was stunned, and the saint explained: "He likes others to wait for dark with him."
Luke expressed his understanding: "I like to wait for the next dawn."
Astrologer: “…”
They waited for several hours. The weather was not very good today and it got dark early. Luka was not idle either. During this time, he kept reviewing the spells he had learned in the past in his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and asked the saint and the feather pen to leave temporarily.
Lujia quickly said, "I have an important matter to do recently, and I want you to..."
The old man shook his head and interrupted: "Those who come to me are asking for opportunities, and your father is the same."
Has the devil ever been here?
While Luke was surprised, the old man continued, "I can only predict the opportunities that may come at the moment, but since you used the word "big event" to describe it, the two are very likely to be connected."
Luke was half relieved when he heard that.
The star robe began to glow, the old man looked at him intently, and suddenly raised his head.
His movements were strange, and his limbs were as stiff as a puppet. For a moment, Lujia saw countless white lines descending from the starry sky and connecting to all the old man's joints.
The next moment, the old man's thin body was like a puppet in the starry sky, bleeding from the corners of his eyes, ear canals... spreading to his seven orifices and all his joints.
The whole scene is too horrifying. It wasn't so exaggerated when fate was first observed.
Lujia couldn't help but move back a little, and unexpectedly saw a few lines of words in the lower left corner of the star chart out of the corner of his eye.
Charge standard: Eye bleeding 1,000,000 gold coins/person, nasal bleeding 1,000,000 gold coins/person...
Oh shit!
The previous fright was overwhelmed by a bigger fright.
Lujia began to count on his fingers until the old man finally opened his eyes. He couldn't wait to ask, "Is it half price for children?"
At this time he was willing to admit that he was a child.
The old man waved his hand, indicating that the saint would pay the bill.
Luke's shoulders relaxed: "Then feel free to vomit."
The old man violently spat out another mouthful of blood, but his bloodshot eyes were very clear. In the previous moment, he saw a different trajectory appearing in the starry sky.
This indicates that there will be some major changes in the world.
"Elf King, the answer given by the starry sky is the Elf King."
The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "You will have a chance to find the answer from the Elf King."
Luke's expression suddenly became interesting: "Are you sure it's the beautiful Elf King I touched before?"
Originally he was somewhat unhappy that his conclusion was questioned, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, the old man remembered the newspaper he had read and gave a positive answer.
"right."
Luke suddenly had a headache.
He thanked the astrologer, stood up and left to think about what to do next.
The old man suddenly called Lujia and said, "The young man who came with you, if he is interested, he can also come and calculate."
Astrologers seem to be very interested in quills.
Luke thought about it, and chose to convey the truth after walking out.
Quill raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking, but in the end he did not refuse and walked in calmly.
It didn't take long. Before long, he came out with a thoughtful look on his face.
Luke: “So fast?”
Quill nodded, as if still immersed in the astrologer's words. After a long while, he raised his head, looked at the saint and said, "Go check out inside."
The saint asked them to wait here: "I will go and pawn the ferret for a few days."
Luke: “…”
Inside the room, the astrologer was lying on the horoscope with his arms and legs spread out, his body covered in blood, looking very undignified.
The ferret came out from the saint's sleeve and walked to the astrologer with ease, which showed that this was not the first time it had been used to pay off a debt.
Its healing light can restore body functions.
Sage: "You actually took the initiative to tell fortunes for others. What did he tell?"
The astrologer's mouth is slightly open, which is a sign that he is about to speak.
The smile on the saint's face faded a little.
There was a contract between the two parties that as long as the fortune teller's questions would not harm the interests of the human race, the astrologer would not have to tell them. Now that the other party is willing to speak, could it be that he wants to do something bad to the human race?
Astrologer: "He came for marriage consultation."
Thinking he had heard wrongly, the saint was silent for a moment and then repeated the question.
The astrologer's expression was also very strange, otherwise he wouldn't have said it.
Generally when given the opportunity to ask questions, people would ask where they could make a breakthrough, get rich, or find an enemy.
Who in their right mind would waste the opportunity to consult this? !
The stern short-haired boy sitting opposite said, "Master, please help me see my love line and what I need to work on. At what age can I get married?"
He was also shocked at that time, okay?
Across the door, Luke was also gossiping: "What did you ask the astrologer? Was it also a chance?"
Quill: "Edge."
Luke had a question mark on his face.
The saint happened to come out at this time, and when he heard the last word, his expression was complicated.
A head filled with love fortune is far beyond what ordinary people can understand.
Luke was full of ambition. After seeing the saint, he took the initiative to explain the previous divination results.
"Elf King?" The saint sighed softly, "It's a bit troublesome. Even if I show up, it may not be of any use."
Luke: "You also took advantage of his beauty?"
“……”That’s not the case.
Seeing the dark clouds in the starry sky, it seemed to be a sign of rain. The saint did not immediately say what the trouble was, but first called the law enforcers to take them to rest.
On the way, Luke asked the law enforcement captain: "Has the hall that exploded last time been built? I want to live there and recall the past."
The law enforcer gave him a long look.
Remembering the pain Alec suffered when he was bombed, are you thinking about your own happiness?
In the end, Luke was able to live in the renovated guild hall as he wished.
That night he lit the lamp and stayed up late to finish the manuscript. Whenever he felt tired, he would think of Alec to cheer himself up.
Writing something is better than being bombed.
In the second half of the night, a drizzle began to fall outside the window.
Quill sat opposite him, recalling what the astrologer had said—
"Marriage will be late, but the astrological aspects are very good, which means that the future marriage partner is of high quality and the relationship between the two is deep."
He decided to retract his past prejudice against astrologers.
The fact that fortune-telling has continued to this day shows that it has a good accuracy rate and is trustworthy.
The night passed quickly, and the next day was a sunny day, so both parties went out early.
Near the St.
Guard: "Can you go to the Holy Tower whenever you want?"
Familiar shouts, familiar lines.
The feather pen helps to collect information about the elves. Luka, who comes here alone, takes a deep breath and asks, "Are you a human-machine?"
After going through the transmission process again, Luke finally entered the holy tower again.
As soon as I entered, I saw the saint catching ferrets all over the room.
The saint tilted his head and smiled gently: "Does it feel familiar?"
Luke: Thank you, I just feel like I’m stuck in a maze.
But the ferrets are back?
The saint saw his confusion and said, "You are too greedy, so you got rejected."
Luke expressed his relief at the snow ferret's fate and said, "I plan to leave for the elves as soon as I finish writing the first draft."
Seeing that he had something else to say, the sage came to the chess table and said, "Sit down."
After both parties sat down, Luke continued to talk about writing: "The new book is almost finished, but it still lacks some details. I want to ask you for more details about the marriage between the Saint and the Demon King..."
He paused and said, "And were there any other expectations behind my birth?"
Lying in front of a saint would be directly identified. Luke tried to lead the topic to the tree of life little by little based on the information he wanted to obtain.
The ferret brought a book to Luke and wrote in the air with its claws:
There are some official records of this marriage, you can take a look at them.
Sage: "As for your second question, it has to do with the gods."
While Luke was taking notes, the saint was talking about important matters in a casual tone:
"The pillars of the Holy Court come from the Tree of Life. Long ago, the Tree of Life could communicate with the gods and then pass it on to the people of the Holy Court in the form of precognitive dreams. Unfortunately, it later lost this ability."
The so-called gods actually refer to the rules under the starry sky, and are sometimes collectively referred to as the will of the world.
This is an open secret among the strong in the Holy Demon Continent. The saint said the other half that has not been made public:
"But the Holy See denied this statement. According to the communication between the Saints of all generations and the Tree of Life, the Tree of Life is actually blocked by the will of the world and can no longer pass on the oracle to everyone in the Holy See equally."
"…Only the most powerful and pure souls can become the new Oracle."
Luke listened carefully.
These quills have been mentioned before, but not in such detail as the saints, especially regarding the tree of life.
He whispered, "People are a blank slate only when they are born."
The soul of a baby is too fragile, and it is difficult for it to be strong at the same time. Currently, the only known souls that are born with relatively strong souls are those of atavists.
Apart from the dragons and elves, the only one who possesses a certain degree of ancestral bloodline is the Demon King.
The saint said: "The Holy Court and the Demon King want you to become a new carrier of the world's will."
It was a marriage that satisfied both interests and emotions.
It is undeniable that the Demon King and the Saint Girl did love each other when they were young. It’s just that they are more eager to obtain the method of breaking through to godhood from the will of the world.
Luke was silent for a while, thinking of the scene when he fell asleep, and asked casually: "Has the devil seen the tree of life in person?"
The saint raised his eyes, keenly aware of the abruptness of the question.
Luke was not nervous at all and said, "The Demon King is suspicious by nature. It is impossible for him to believe that the people of the Holy Court said that there was no problem with the Tree of Life and then actively cooperate in getting married and having children."
The Demon King's reputation remains as solid as ever.
He had only one son and was clearly not interested in reproducing.
"He did see the Tree of Life once before the marriage."
When one reaches the level of a saint, one can recall the details of events no matter how long ago they happened.
"I remember that the Demon King played a game of chess with me before he left, and he also mocked the name of the Tree of Life."
It was a normal thing for the devil to be angry with everyone, but for some reason Luke felt something was wrong after hearing it.
Connecting it to the scenes in his dream, he had a very strong premonition that the Demon King was not just speaking casually.
Why ridicule the name of the tree of life?
Hiding his doubts, Luka attributed his leaked emotions to other problems: "So this is why I was born."
In a sense, it is really full of parents' love and expectations.
He said hesitantly: "You and the Holy See..."
"The Holy Court highly respects the Tree of Life and even treats it like a god," the saint said calmly, "Excessive worship means that it will never be surpassed."
His expression was somewhat melancholy: "Later, I left the Holy Court and achieved some transcendence."
“As a result, a large group of people came to worship me.”
He was so annoyed that two strands of his hair fell out.
After a brief silence, Luke ended this sad topic and began to ask about things related to the elves.
Saint: "The elves refuse to have too much communication with outsiders."
He and the Elf King are just casual acquaintances, and the elves have no good feelings towards humans.
"but……"
Hearing the turning point, Luke's eyes lit up slightly.
"Perhaps you will be received if you go."
Luke didn't quite believe it, and pointed at himself, wondering: "Me?"
Could it be Kayan from the elf tribe?
Did he get in relying on his looks?
The saint denied his righteousness: "The two things that the elves went out to purchase recently were both related to you. One was a publication with a special topic on suona."
Lujia shook her hair and said, "So you are impressed by my talent."
"The other one is also a publication, promoting the report that you are more beautiful than the Elf King."
Luke's hands froze for a moment.
"There was a heated discussion on Elf Island."
"By the way, their neighboring dark elves also made crazy purchases, but they were intended to destroy them."
The rest of the report described how the dark elves peeped at others taking a bath. The light elves and the dark elves have always been at odds with each other. If the two sides buy newspapers at the same time, the total amount of newspapers bought can be piled up into a mountain.
“…”
Luke had predicted this, but the reality was even more exaggerated than he thought.
He said dryly, "If we encounter a crisis, and I challenge the Elf King to a beauty contest, saying we can compete again in twenty years, will he let me go?"
When the protagonist in the story issues a time-delay challenge, doesn’t the villain always agree?
The saint looked at him silently.
One minute, two minutes, and at the third minute, Luke: "...I was kidding."
The saint changed his relaxed sitting posture and spoke in a serious tone: "The elves are no joke. The Elf King's temper is hard to figure out. The last generation of the Orc King died in his hands."
Luke's eyelashes trembled.
"The light elves just don't like blood." Disliking and not killing are two completely different concepts.
"You have a great talent in space. If you are given time, it is possible for you to surpass him." The saint picked up the ferret with one hand and placed it on the chess table. He said calmly, "Just bet it there when something happens."
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and seemed to be trying to get rid of the guest.
Luke tactfully carried the ferret away.
Back at the guild hall, Quill saw a furry creature in his arms and frowned, "Why did you bring it back?"
Luke: "Pledge."
"?"
Ferrets have a keen sense of smell, and when they smell the smoky smell left over from a past explosion in the guild hall, they go out for a walk to get some fresh air.
Luke did not chase after him, but took the opportunity to tell him about his interview with the saint.
After hearing this, Quill thought for a while and seemed to have some ideas: "As for the matter of the Tree of Life, I will go and investigate it myself when I have recovered most of my strength. What the saint said may not be the whole truth."
This has nothing to do with concealment, just like Luke has no evidence and it is impossible for him to discuss many issues with the saint in person, including the fact that the Holy See has secretly conducted many secret experiments.
"Focus on your web development for now."
Luke was naturally aware of the importance of network construction. He first sorted out the information he got from the saint and began to revise the first draft.
As usual, his quill sat beside him while he wrote.
The quill glanced at the newly added fragment by Luke.
The article focuses on the token of love that the saint gave to the devil: the mandarin duck pendant.
The effect of the mandarin duck pendant is very magical. Both wearers can sense each other's position at any time. The devil's return gift is even more precious: the Thousand Days of Unity Gu!
During the thousand days, if one party is hurt, the other party will automatically share part of the injury.
After exchanging tokens of love, the relationship between the two parties became even deeper.
From time to time, the Saint would sneak out of the Holy Court and appear on the path that the Demon King must pass, giving her lover a little surprise.
Unfortunately, there are unexpected changes in the world.
After someone in the Holy Court learned about the Thousand Days Unity Gu, he wanted to kill the Saint in order to deal a heavy blow to the Demon King.
Fortunately, after experiencing many assassination attempts, the Saint successfully caught the assassins with the help of more kind-hearted people in the Holy Court.
Soon, happiness entered the marriage hall.
The overall writing style continues the dreamy style of the previous article, and strives to exaggerate the beauty of the love between the princess and the prince.
Unfortunately, strong people who have experienced the secular world are best at imagining and digging deep into the details of human nature, so they will definitely not think that this is a love fairy tale after reading it.
Luke kept an eye on the quill, and when he noticed some fluctuations in the latter's emotions, he knew he had succeeded.
It's not a hard-core black story. I couldn't help but get goosebumps when he wrote it.
The tokens of love that the saint and the devil gave each other were more terrifying than the other.
The gift of Tongxin Gu is of the highest quality, and the marriage is of vital importance, but who would be willing to let go of the opportunity to severely damage the Demon King and defeat the demon world?
The series of internal struggles that resulted ultimately weakened the power of the human race.
Of course, the saint is no pushover either.
There are many more terrifying details.
Luke wrote almost non-stop for a whole day and night, and when he finally finalized the draft, he was so tired that he didn't want to talk.
With a deep breath, he sent the manuscript to Boulder City as soon as the day dawned.
Luca didn't know that Karen had nightmares for several nights in a row after seeing the first draft, nor did he know that the publication of the mainland's first dark-style work helped him successfully establish his status as a literary master, while greatly reducing the mainland's marriage rate in the next ten years.
That’s all for later.
At this moment, he was walking down the street and sneered, shaking his head: "What a great parental love."
The father who practices family planning, the man who brings misfortune to both his parents, and the mother who knows what she is doing.
Instead of going back to the guild hall directly, Luke first came to a glass building with four sides that looked like a greenhouse.
"Two tickets to go to sea, bring a pet."
To go to the elves, one must take a dragon boat. If one enters the elves' territory through other channels, it will be regarded as smuggling.
The conductor looked at the mechanical clock and said, "There's a train in three hours."
Luke nodded: "Let's go this way."
Two exquisite silver-edged receipts were handed out from the window. When the ticket seller saw the customers' faces, his sleepiness at work immediately disappeared.
"You are Iliad! Right?! I heard that you won the Demon Tribe's hunting."
Luke nodded modestly.
"So are you going out to sea to compete with the Elf King this time? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Dark Elves who may be exposed and spying on the neighboring island? You are so brave."
Luke: “…”
Finished.
Even the ticket seller had this reaction. I'm afraid this journey is really a death wish.
The author has something to say:
Luke's Diary Guide:
Who is more beautiful, me or the Elf King?
Alex: Gamesh! How can the Elf King compare to Gamesh?
Dragon Clan: How can the Elf King compare to you?
Astrologer: The Elf King is not as beautiful as you, the future king.
Luke: @Elf King
Elf King: ...
