Chapter 7 Prophecy

Klein naturally withdrew his gaze, followed Haggis closely with a gold-encrusted cane, and entered the general's mansion.

The architectural style here does not have the characteristics of the Southern Continent. It does not control the lighting to make the interior look gloomy, nor does it boldly use a small amount of human bones for decoration, which gives people a strong sense of impact. On the contrary, it is more like the transplantation of a mansion in the Northern Continent, and there is something that cannot be erased. Intis colors to go:

Each pillar is covered with gold foil in sections, the murals on the wall are in warm colors, surrounded by gold sculptures, and the spiral and gorgeous staircase descends from a high place, running through all four floors, and falls in the center of the hall, facing the door. Very stylish.

It has to be said that the country dominated by the Church of the Eternal Sun is really at the forefront of the world in terms of gold art, and it does not feel like a nouveau riche at all... Klein glanced at the palm-sized golden angel flying obliquely from the stair railing and the middle of the pillar. Like, resisting the urge to reach out and touch her.

Looking at the guards standing on both sides, he found a topic at random, and said to Haggis:

"Colonel Alfred Hall seems to have established achievements in West Balam?"

Haggis nodded sincerely, and said in that Loen aristocratic tone:

"He is a resolute and brave man. He once led a special operations team of more than 30 people to surprise Ince's thousand-man army and completely defeated them. I heard that he also made military exploits many times in East Balam. He was only two years old. Became a colonel in his teens."

It sounds very powerful... Ms. "Justice" might have become a Beyonder, and her sequence is not low... Well, in a big noble family, some members should take the path of Extraordinary every generation... Hehe, After this Mr. Alfred has gone through hardships and tribulations, finally achieved his goal, became a higher-order Extraordinary, obtained the rank of Brigadier General or Major General, and returned to Backlund, he might find sadly that even his own sister Even dogs can't beat it... Klein, who drank the potion before going out, used his stomach to adjust his mental state.

He didn't ask much about Alfred, but instead said in a puzzled tone:

"I found that the customs of West Balam and East Balam are also different. Here, many houses have certain human bone decorations, while East Balam does not.

"I have been here many times, and I have such a question a long time ago, but I have never had the nerve to raise it."

Haggis stopped, pointed to the pompous staircase opposite and said:

"Mr. Dantès, wait a few minutes, the general will come down soon."

After explaining the business, he laughed and said:

"The custom of human bones is actually rare. Only the territory directly under the royal family during the Balam Empire retained this habit. For us, the death of a relative does not mean that the relationship with them is completely over. Before the burial, we will learn from them. Take out a piece of bone from the dead body and put it at home as a decoration to show that the dead are with the living.

"Which bone to choose is determined by the priest presiding over the funeral through the ceremony, and the skull is the best and most symbolic.

"Some families even make wine glasses from skulls, which are only used when entertaining the most distinguished guests.

"Mr. Dantès, if a deal can be reached this time, I would like to invite you to my house as a guest, and use my grandfather's skull to fill 'Phoenix wine' to pay respects."

... Klein's expression was almost dull, and he felt that he really couldn't do as the Romans did in this regard.

He laughed twice, and was about to perfunctory Haggis, but saw a figure slowly walking down the stairs with golden handrails.

This figure didn't wear a hat, but was wearing a straight black military uniform, the buttons were shining gold, and the ribbon was as bright red as blood.

His complexion is light brown, his contour lines are soft, and his facial features do not seem to be opened. They are tightly squeezed in the center of his face, making his face larger than normal.

Klein, who had obtained information from multiple sources, recognized at a glance that this was the actual ruler of West Balam Uttar Pradesh, the self-proclaimed Admiral Meisangyes.

On the surface, he oscillates among Ruen, Intis, Fusac, Fenepot, and several rebel forces.

It maintains a balance, but has secretly received the support of the Royal Department of the Spiritual Order.

At the same time, Klein suspected that this native general had established a solid connection with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

As for the strength of Meisangyesi itself, both "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina and "Admiral Star" Cattleya have marked him as Sequence 5 in the data, but they don't know which path it is. It was not mentioned, because most of the abilities displayed by this native general were related to the spirit, but he carried the magical items of the "Reaper" path.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency General." Klein took off his hat, put his hands on his chest, and saluted.

At this moment, he felt gazes from nowhere looking at him again. They were the flashes of light on the golden angel statue, the sunlight reflected by the stained glass, and the light reflected by the smooth marble.

"Hello, Mr. Dantès." Mesailles responded in Dutan.

Klein, who has mastered the Dutan language with the help of his secret puppet, can certainly understand it, but the longer he stayed in East and West Balam in the Southern Continent, the more he felt that Dutan language and the ancient Fusac language had similarities.

Although these two languages ​​undoubtedly belonged to different systems, which made it difficult for him to really learn Tutan, there were always striking similarities in some details, as if there was a common source.

The only thing Klein can be sure of is that the source will not be Giant Language.

Pretending to be unaware of anything, he chatted with Meisangyesi very naturally, until the other party took the initiative to mention the issue of arms transactions:

"How much do you have in total?"

Klein smiled and said:

"It's not a problem to equip three or four thousand people. In addition, there are a few artillery pieces."

Meisangyesi was silent for a while and said:

"Offer your price."

Klein thought for a while and said:

"If you ask me to send the goods to Uttar Pradesh, the price is 50,000 pounds. If you send a team to pick up the goods with me, and you are responsible for the subsequent transportation and security, it only costs 40,000 pounds."

Mesailles thought for a while and said:

"the latter.

"You take the deposit and take my people with you. When you see the goods, put them on the carriage, and my people will pay the rest."

He paused and added:

"However, I don't have that many Loen Pounds."

Insufficient foreign exchange reserves... Klein looked around and smiled indifferently:

"You can pay me directly with gold coins, even gold bars and bricks."

Mesansiers was quite decisive, without any fuss, nodded and said:

"Deal, tomorrow I will let Haggis bring people and money to you."

That's right, I like doing business with people who don't bargain... Klein first heaved a sigh of relief, but then wondered if his asking price was too low.

When he left the general's mansion, Meisangyesi suddenly raised his head and said to the top of the stairs:

"Your Excellency Luca, is this the person you are waiting for?"

On the upper floor of the ornate staircase, a figure slowly emerged.

This is an old man wearing a plain white robe inlaid with brass-colored silk thread. His hair is already completely white, but it is combed very neatly. A pair of gray-green eyes are so deep that the bottom cannot be seen.

He responded in an unhurried manner:

"I can't be sure. Although my prophecy tells me that I will meet someone who can solve my future predicament in these two days, but the person just now is too ordinary. Apart from being an extraordinary person, there is nothing worth describing.

"Of course, I can't see his deeper reality. Behind him may be hidden an existence that is at least as good as me."

Having said that, he walked down slowly, and said after a few seconds:

"I will try to use the dream to see if I can find out more."

"Do you need to prepare a special room for you?" Meisangyesi asked respectfully.

Luca shook his head:

"It's in the living room next to it. Well... the best time is four hours later. Don't bother me before then."

He immediately entered the room, sat down, leaned back against the back of the sofa, relaxed his body, closed his eyes, and remained silent.

When it was getting dark, the old gentleman really fell asleep.

In the dream, he found himself standing in the hall of the general's mansion, standing on the first step of the gorgeous staircase, beside Mesanges, Haggis and many guards.

The middle-aged man named Dwayne Dantès stood opposite him, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up, revealing an exaggerated smile.

Flames rose one after another, and one playing card after another fell from above.

Luca's gray-green eyes suddenly became darker, and Dwayne Dantès' body suddenly fell into a strange darkness.

The old man in a plain white robe immediately opened his arms, revealing the faint vortex between his chest and abdomen.

The vortex expanded abruptly, swallowing Dwayne Dantès in.

Before Luca could confirm the situation in the future, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and looked sideways, only to see that Mesailles' face squirmed, his body elongated, and he instantly turned into another Dwayne Dantès.

Almost at the same time, Haggis and all the guards present showed the face of Dwayne Dantès one after another, and Qiqi set their sights on Luca!

Luca woke up suddenly, stared at by Meisangyesi who didn't know when he came in, stunned for two seconds, and said in a low voice:

"I have to personally meet that gentleman just now, and meet the demigod behind him."

Before he finished speaking, he subconsciously turned his head and looked out the window.

At this time, the street lamps had already been burned, the sky was dark, and the crimson moon was strangely stained with bloody colors.

Another blood moon!

…………

Fortunately, there is Mister Fool... Isn't the blood moon too frequent this year? It has only been more than two months since the last time...Let me not prepare at all! Fors, who turned over and sat up, wiped off her cold sweat, and said a few words to herself silently.

She had already arrived at the small town on the edge of the Delaire Forest, checked into the hotel, and shared a room with Hugh, preparing to conduct a preliminary investigation of the abandoned castle tomorrow morning, but she was about to rest when she encountered a blood moon.

At this moment, she seemed to remember something, her body stiffly turned her head to the side.

Xio, who claimed to be going to bed early, woke up at some point, opened her eyes, and looked at her.
