Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 913 Divination of Destiny

Whether the warning was effective or not, Draconir soon got the answer.

Belannar, who is also a suspect, participated in the hearing within the Archmage Council. Under the chairmanship of Teclis, the retired old mage of Ulthuan did not get rid of his suspicion status.

However, the Archmage Council did not define Béranal as a murderer. At least half of the people at the highest level of the White Tower of Hos were students taught by the old mage.

They tried their best to clear Berannar's suspicion, but in the end they could not get around the decision of the current Supreme Mage.

The independent Magic Kingdom is like this, but many parts of Caledon are even more embarrassing. Drachnir said that the reason for the mysterious disappearance is a secret. As a mage, I have countless places to go. Are you just going to judge me? Went to assassinate the Phoenix King.

No matter how much pressure Avalon put on him, and even when the Eternal Queen came to ask in person, Prince Caledor still didn't let go.

Either provide factual evidence or stop talking nonsense.

Who doesn't know how to divination? I can now divine the real murderer of the Phoenix King using the wind of Argil. It is Gilgalion. It comes from the ancient magic passed down by Lord Slann, which guarantees the reliability of the White Tower of Behos.

No one can do anything about this nonsense. Drachnir is really not afraid of being tough. No one knows how much power the Dragon Palace holds.

The results of the autopsy also embarrassed the investigation team. There were no traces of magic or physics. Fenubar was like a peaceful deceased, lying peacefully on the throne and leaving the mortal world.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Prince Caledor had nothing to do with this matter, and prayed that Imrik would come back quickly, otherwise it would be too late...

The location of the divination ceremony was chosen at the Lilith Temple closest to Lothern. It has been more than seventy years since Kuran Blackhand led the Black Guard of Nagarond to destroy this place.

The devout Moon Maiden believers tirelessly paid tribute to the favored gods, so that in a short period of time, this temple has built a more grandiose complex than before.

Attendees can be accompanied by a close confidant. Adira is naturally Dracnir's companion, and beside Belannar is the third-class member of the White Tower of Hoth - Blade Lord Upton.

Another ritual, but this time the nature has changed from whether Drachnir is an alien to Assur, to a traitor.

When it comes to destiny, there are three gods in the elven pantheon that cannot be avoided. Asuryan, the god who determines the destiny of all living beings, Mora'ig Heg, the old woman who tells destiny, and Lilith, the moon girl who changes destiny. .

If this is true, perhaps Asul can also be called a short-lived ghost.

The young priest, wearing a tulle shawl and a silver-white dress, had been waiting in front of the door for a long time. After seeing the two parties, a bright silver-white moonlight appeared in her hand.

After making requests to each church respectively, the Eternal Queen only hoped that the result would not be too bad. Draconir's actions made people feel that they were forced to calm down due to a guilty conscience...

And Draconir gave the teacher the same look, pulling people in but giving them up. This was not Caledor's style.

If it wasn't the murderer, everyone would be happy and shift the suspicion to some unimportant people.

In this way, the investigation team, which was still looking for clues, shifted its attention from every piece of porcelain in Lothern that Draconir might have stepped on to the temple where the murderer could be identified.

But this is the most strange part. A prime elf who was more than 500 years old actually passed away peacefully, and the Phoenix King was cared for by a large group of doctors.

And since mortals can't solve it, Teclis makes the wise decision to let the gods decide whether Drachnir is the murderer.

And if it's the murderer, that would be even better. This is a decision made by the gods. No matter how angry you Caledor is, you have no reason to vent your anger on the investigation team.

Belannar, whose face was obviously much more haggard than before, was surrounded by Phoenix guards and greeted the students with his eyes, indicating that I was there for everything and there was nothing to worry about.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was overjoyed, no matter whether Prince Caledor was the real murderer or not.

The door marked by the moon and stars was unable to open under the moonlight. The gods who knew the fate of all living beings looked down at everything that came from a high position, and decided the outcome of the master and the disciple with only their thoughts.

The temple with a dome that is 100 meters high is decorated with agate and crystal, and countless transparent diamonds are dotted on the walls, refracting the sunlight from the outside and making the interior feel like being in a starry sky.

The most eye-catching thing is the crescent moon behind the statue. As a symbol of the gods, there is no material in the world that can symbolize the beauty of Lilith. It is embedded in the wall in a hollow form. The ingenious design of the building complex allows the moonlight at night to enter the temple from the hollow crescent moon, covering the statue in front with a layer of silver sand.

Although the visit of the High Priest Asuryan to the Lilith Temple was not in style, he, who was eager for political influence, did not mind giving face to the queen and came here from the Platinum Flame Temple to impart Asuryan's revelation to all living beings.

As for the priest of Mora'ig Heg... it's a bit subtle. No one knows his identity. They only know that Nagaryth held a ceremony to sacrifice an old woman, and finally rewarded a divine choice.

The distinction between primary and secondary positions is clearly visible in the temple. Even as the master, the Moon Maiden Priest can only stand on the left side and transfer the primary position to the High Priest Asuryan.

Adira's eyes were attracted by the statue of Lilith. She used to be a devout believer of the Moon Maiden.

After getting married, her mentality gradually changed, but she still had respect for Lilith in her heart.

But now, the god I once believed in is now the judge who will judge my son. It is really a ridiculous thing.

Twenty meters away from the priesthood, as representatives of the gods, they stood on the steps, naturally keeping a distance from the diviners. No matter how noble their status was, they had to lower their proud heads when facing the gods.

This is how it should be...

Draconir crossed his arms and looked up at the group of priests on the steps, without any awe on his face.

Belannar's face was calm. Contrary to the students' unruly attitude, there was a trace of sadness deep in his eyes.

Everything is going according to the expected plan in advance, but there is nothing to be happy about...

The high priest Asuyan, who wears a phoenix feather crown, is not prepared to emphasize the distinction between superiority and inferiority. After the divination results appear, they will naturally respect the gods who determine the fate.

A strange tone came from the mouth of the high priest, cold and serious, as if conveying the will of the gods.

"Here comes Drachnir, Prince of Caledor, and Belannar, Magical Advisor to the Dragon's Court."

"Ah."

"Yes."

After getting the result, the presiding high priest winked at the phoenix guard beside Berannar. The style of the Platinum Flame Temple was to never say another word.

The Phoenix Guard, who originally kept a distance from Belannar, approached the old mage's position with a rune halberd, and this made the already very nervous Blade Lord become a little nervous.

Upton held down the halberd of the Phoenix guard at the front, and the Blade Lord's sharp eyes met the Phoenix guard's silence.

Some people think that the Phoenix Guard cannot be defeated, but for the sword master who became famous in the White Tower of Hos at a young age, he is sure to bring the old mage out of the temple surrounded by hundreds of Phoenix Guards.

Even if the final result is death, in critical moments, the Blade Lord is willing to do so.

The long golden hair mixed with white silk is scattered in front of Upton's forehead, proving his old age and also indicating the time he has been practicing martial arts.

No matter how hard the Phoenix Guard exerted his body, he tried to break away from Upton's hand holding the halberd, but this weapon blessed by flames remained motionless as if it had taken root in the ground.

Upton didn't care about the actions of the boy in front of him. He turned around and stared at the high priest Asuyan on the steps. The killing intent emanating from his body had solidified, and the undisguised threat also attracted people's attention.

"Don't do anything inexplicable in the manner of your Platinum Flame Temple. Since we abide by the rules, you'd better keep your posture more upright."
