Chapter 1,139 True Knowledge and Destiny
"Let the irrelevant people leave." The old Duke made his prerequisite without hesitation.
The deacons who were staying in the study room of the Duke's Mansion in the capital exited the study one by one without waiting for instructions. Marquis Farshid said without any pretense that so-and-so was trustworthy, and he said everything he knew about him. Knowing that the next conversation may involve family privacy, and still making such a statement, don't you think about what those people want to hear? It can only be said that there are other better ways to win people's hearts.
After everyone left, the father and son made a tacit agreement not to use magic, but to clean up the study or raise a barrier to block the transmission of information from inside and outside. Because they all know that even if the study is empty, the person sitting on the supreme throne can still know the content of the conversation here, and the same goes for other interested people. And they also leaked it intentionally.
It is impossible to keep these things completely secret. Rather than letting those key people be misled by wrong information, it is better to let them know the 'truth', the part you want them to know. Doing this will also allow others to understand the extent of their determination, instead of just talking about it and using the blood flag as an excuse.
This kind of approach can be regarded as a tacit understanding in the history of the empire about raising the blood flag because of female relatives. It’s just that no one will admit it, and no one will openly advocate such methods. If the insider uses such facts to attack people afterwards, it will be just one more enemy for the family that holds the blood flag high. The reason is simple, it is to humiliate my family, so I will beat you without any discussion.
It was in this weird atmosphere that the old Duke told him what he saw through Hakiri, and the painful wailing in the heart of the helpless girl. Sounds of tears.
Even though he was not the person involved, the old Duke still gritted his teeth when he recalled what he had seen and the scene of his being killed. The anger even seemed to be transmitted through the mirror to the family heirs far away in the capital.
Hou Farshid did not expect that what he would hear would be this. He looked solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Is there enough evidence to prove it?"
"I asked the magician and the elders who are familiar with the family's secret book. What Shakiri knows, unless the perception is wrong from the beginning, there is no possibility of fabrication. Change those pictures, or make it out of thin air. Even these Haggiris can't fabricate it. However, I haven't used true knowledge magic to verify what I know."
True knowledge magic, like prophecy, is a special magic that touches the long river of destiny. There are many taboos and requirements for its use. And it’s more important to ask the right questions than to get the answers, otherwise you’ll just get misguided answers.
If the question is vague, not only will you get a vague answer, but you can even use fate-like magic to conceal the truth in the long history.
For example, regarding the death of Grand Duke Mo'er of Kawei, if you use the magic of true knowledge to ask whether your own son died of illness and whether there is a conspiracy behind it, you probably won't get any useful answers.
On the one hand, the real murderer can cover up the truth, making the answers to true knowledge magic even more unclear and ambiguous. On the other hand, Duke Kawei also trusted Duke Risa's handling at that time and never thought that there were problems behind it.
But if there are clearly targeted questions, such as asking whether Duke Kawei’s son was killed by Duke Rizal himself, and even adding time and place, then no matter how much destiny magic is used to cover it up, it will not stop the true knowledge. Magic gives the correct answer.
But there is a risk in doing so. Those who try to cover up the truth usually create a trigger mechanism when using destiny magic to cover up their footprints in the river of destiny. As long as someone touches such a truth, it will be fed back to the original caster, or the designated artifact will produce specific changes. Like a candle suddenly extinguished, a crystal ball cracking inexplicably.
In other words, once true knowledge magic is used, the person who committed the crime and tried to cover it up will know that someone has touched the truth. Even those who are more advanced can know who the person they touch is.
If someone is present, he will definitely use the four-character idiom from his hometown to describe it - to alert the snake.
The Lost World does not have the same words, but there are similar principles. This is also the reason why the old Duke did not use true knowledge magic to confirm immediately after learning what happened. Marquis Farshid also understood, because such an operation was almost the standard procedure for noble nobles like them when they encountered something and needed to cover it up.
Raising the blood flag high but not explaining the reason can make Angie Risa's luck and the possibility of wrong judgment. Once the truth is explained, or the truth is discovered, the family heir in the capital will definitely become the target of assassination!
Blood Flag Revenge is not a one-sided revenge murder, but a two-sided war. It makes no sense for you to enjoy killing people, but not allow your target to seize the opportunity and kill them in a wave.
Because there are examples of people holding high the blood flag, destroying their own family, and not killing their enemies. The struggle between nobles is not at the stage of death, and no one knows who has what trump card, or whether the prediction of strength before the war is accurate.
But as a son, he did not feel gratified by his father's thoughtfulness. If you really think about him, wouldn't it be better to inform him to leave first and then start causing trouble? Instead of like now, even he, as a member of the Kawei family, felt caught off guard.
As for using true knowledge magic to confirm something, Marquis Farshid had never even thought about it. Duke Rizal's stance on this issue is clear and has always been the case. But at that time, neither father nor son had figured out why all this was happening. With the revelation of this incident, everything in the past has a reasonable explanation.
For a long time, the Kawi family and the Rizal family were not only grand dukes, but also the right-hand men of His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Farshid Hou did exactly the same thing as his father, that is, to compromise. Now it seems that the long-term grievance is just a joke in the eyes of the person opposite. Laughing at myself for not knowing the truth, and being forced step by step into the abyss, I will eventually die.
"I know. It looks like I'm getting ready to run away." After speaking calmly, Marquis Farshid closed the mirror. The old Duke on the other side was stunned when he saw the screen go black. It seemed that his son was not as calm and calm as he seemed on the surface, and he was holding a fire in his heart.
He has never worried about his son's safety. As a grown man, he should know how to protect himself. But leaving things alone when it comes to life and death is not what a father should do. So the old Duke decided to go to the magician and ask him to return the favor.
This time, the magician was definitely the trigger. Without him, how could things have evolved like this? Since you want to dance with his steps, it's not an exaggeration to ask him to pay some price back.
