Jonah fell silent. His intuition told him that no matter what the purpose of doing all this, Rose Rose and the "ghost's left hand" did not pose a threat to him. The astrologer apprentice slightly loosened his fingers where the palm of his right hand touched the staff. Covered with wet sweat stains.
He had so many questions to ask that he couldn't ask any questions at the moment. The consul lady of Sukasa Valley did not rush him. She sat leisurely on the floor and ate beef jerky. The stars were moving outside the window. Judging from the stars, he should It was around nine o'clock at night. At this moment, Jonah wished that his friends could be by his side and face these too heavy facts with him. Elliot would definitely analyze the information calmly, and Long Ji would be standing by his side. Comfort yourself considerately. That guy from Xibi will definitely be jumping around and clamoring to fight with the opponent. As for Jekong, it’s better not to count on him... It would be great if the head of the room is here. Toba and Miss Rose There seems to be a special bond between them.
"By the way. Did you also go to Cherry Crossing via Miracle Grassland?" Jonah couldn't help but ask about old things. "You passed by our battle site..."
"Yes." Ross Ross put down the food and looked out the window leisurely with bright eyes that were very inconsistent with his figure. "I know about Toba. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, he is a very qualified team leader and a very talented person. Self-sacrificing fool."
"I'm sorry." Jonah whispered.
"Thank you for recognizing him as your retinue knight. If that fool knows this news in heaven, he will definitely be so happy that he ascends to heaven again." The fat woman said calmly.
The astrologer apprentice forced a smile. "Speaking of which, you must have met Elliot and Long Ji after the ferry arrived at Shirlington."
"Of course." Rose Rose replied. "They have been looking for you when we were on the ship. But I took you unconscious to rest in the room of the two queens. There was no door open; after disembarking, I checked you in. When I was delivering the express to Stuart, I saw that they were looking for you everywhere. I almost couldn’t help but tell them your news several times."
"Why on earth did you do this? Why didn't you let me stay with my friends?" Jonah felt a burst of anger and couldn't help but stand up.
Archon Sukasa stared at the 17-year-old boy opposite: "Since confirming your identity at Cherry Ferry, your safety is the top priority of Ghost Left Hand. Whether it is sending you to the ferry or entrusting you to Stewart Express to go there. Moza City is all for safety reasons. Although Elliot and Long Ji are not weak, the shadow they have been pursuing cannot be touched by humans at all. Ghost Left Hand's assessment of the two of them is' "Very dangerous." The assessment of Hannah Stewart and Danny Stewart is "relatively safe." Given our extreme shortage of manpower, this is the only correct choice."
Jonah covered his head in confusion: "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Something's not right... The two of them set off after me. So they shouldn't have reached the Golden City yet. Right."
"I don't know. Judging from common sense, it should be yes." Ross Ross replied.
"But you also set off after seeing me off. The 'Bactrian Wind' is one of the fastest sailing ships in the endless sand sea. Then I was sent out of the desert by the amazingly fast 'Ghost Bahama'. Then I took the fastest The steam carriage 'Midnight Star' goes straight to Bactria... There is no possibility for you to reach the Golden City before me..." The astrologer apprentice finally found the crux of the problem. His eyes widened in shock. He seemed to be staring. A powerful undead that is not limited by space and can travel thousands of miles in an instant.
Miss Rose looked at his surprised look and burst into laughter: "This is easy to explain. The reason why I got the ticket is because of my status as a St. Bollen noble. Queen Arsene Wenger III is my aunt. The newly succeeded Wenge Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IV is my cousin. Shortly after the two queens landed at Sherlington Harbor, an old friend of the St. Bollen royal family came over to offer help. You may also know this person. Because your mentor, Keshava, the seventh-level astrologer, is his best friend."
"...Lame Henry." Jonah suddenly realized.
If there is any power that can enable human beings to overcome the natural obstacles of mountains, rivers, and oceans and fly freely in every corner of the continent, then it is only the legendary steam puppet airship "Lame Henry". Written by the astrologer Kesha The airship built by Watt and the steam puppet warlock Henry was the first and only large-scale aircraft in the history of the mainland. The old gentleman Henry personally drove the airship around the world, leaving behind many wonderful legends. The old gentleman sent The small steam aircraft "Cripple Henry II" given to Jonah also saved his life.
"That's right. Mr. Henry came here day and night. He still couldn't fly to the Western Continent before the Zawi people broke through the Mortima Fortress. He could only meet the Queen on the south bank of the Holy River. It took us three days to get there from Snow Linton Port arrived at the Golden City. They were warmly received by Emperor Isaibaink. Now the two queens live in the Harimaya Palace... The changes I mentioned earlier are related to this. Those who can board the airship There are only two queens, me, the Knight of the Golden Shield and two personal maids. I can't bring you on the airship." Rose Rose said slightly apologetically.
"I know." Jonah sighed for no reason. "But I'm even more confused. Who am I? What kind of blood is left in my body? You said there are other people under your protection. They have Do you also have the same blood? What can people with this kind of blood do? What is your ultimate goal? How many of you are there in total? Why would a noble like you join such an organization?"
Archon Sukasa sat upright. The expression on his face alternated between gloomy and clear. Finally he said seriously as if he had made up his mind: "Okay. That is the blood of betrayers. You all have the blood of betrayers flowing in your body. That is the origin of everything and the end of everything. One day, a man with the blood of the betrayer will save the entire world. From the day the Ghost's Left Hand was founded, every member has sworn to become invisible and listen. Invisible, intangible ghosts. Silently guarding the heirs of the betrayer's bloodline. Helping them complete the feat of saving the world. We have no right to interfere with their actions. Guess their thoughts. Find out their secrets. Heirs of the bloodline Everything we do is correct and must be assisted to the maximum extent. This is the meaning of 'ghost'. We do not make any decisions. Except when the successor cannot make a decision...such as you While unconscious... make the safest choice possible."
The astrologer's apprentice felt his back was chilling with cold sweat. "I still don't understand. Who is the betrayer? Does he have a name... Is his name Segres? Why does he want so many people to fight for him?" His descendants came one after another and gave everything... What exactly are you giving everything for?"
"The betrayer has no name. I don't know who Segres is. Maybe it's him, maybe not." Ross Ross shook his head. The fat on his face also shook. "He was a great prophet. In his life At that time, the betrayers foresaw that the world would face a catastrophe in the distant future. The entire continent would be destroyed by the disaster. The kingdom of heaven would fall. Hell would collapse. Countless souls would be displaced. Only a certain bloodline successor would be responsible for saving everything. Mission. No one knows the exact moment of the catastrophe. No one knows who the savior is. Generation after generation of ghost members always remember the betrayer's prophecy. They travel throughout the continent to find the blood of the betrayer scattered in the world, and help the successors grow up safely. Until Go through a life course that may be brilliant or mediocre.”
"The era he lived in...was that long ago?" Jonah asked with a trembling voice.
"It's so long ago that no one remembers it clearly," Miss Ross replied.
The astrologer's apprentice fell into confusion. Segres's unnamed prophecy was written thirty-six years ago. It is similar to but different from the legendary betrayer; the prophecy obtained by the ghost's left hand is a catastrophe of annihilation. The prophecies in his hands were one small disaster after another. The two must be connected. But Jonah couldn't figure out the clues at all. "Miss Ross... you said you didn't have the right to explain it to me just now. But why do you want to do it now?" "Such a detailed explanation?" he asked dizzy.
"Let me finish first." The Archon stood up and walked up to him. "Since the era when the traitors existed, the struggle has never stopped. The 'Red Owl Brotherhood' is the eternal enemy of Ghost's Left Hand. They are in There are extremely huge forces in the world. They are always looking for and persecuting people with the blood of heretics. They have launched one cruel purge campaign after another. We try our best to protect the successors from attacks one after another. But there is no way to confront the Brotherhood head-on. .As time goes by, the bloodline of betrayers is gradually becoming scarce. If it were not for the disagreements and power struggles within the Brotherhood, I am afraid that the bloodline successors would have been completely eliminated more than ten years ago."
"There are only six successors under the protection of the ghost's left hand now. News came from the Eastern Continent a few days ago. The number has been reduced to five." Rose Rose grabbed Jonah's hands with his fat hands. "Yona .You are the last hope of this world. We will do everything we can to protect your safety, even at the cost of our lives."
Jonah felt cold all over. He didn't know how to react. "Miss Ross, I, I... this is not a joke..."
"No matter whether the successor knows his mission or not, according to the prophecy of the betrayer, the chosen person will save the world. So the ideal situation is that the successor does not know at all, walks freely, lives quietly, and does not need to carry the child all day long. He lives in fear; but if he detects clues or is involved in the struggle, the ghost's left hand must explain everything to him. The member responsible for the explanation will abandon all identities and dignity as a human being and become his 'ghost' Guardian'. Always protect him." Rose Rose said something incomprehensible. Then he let go of Jonah's hand, took two steps back, and pulled out a sharp dagger from under his cloak.
"Miss Rose." the astrologer's apprentice exclaimed.
"It would be my honor."
The dagger penetrated deeply into the woman's eye socket.
