Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 91 The answer Rayleigh was looking for back then
The stone door opened and closed again.

"I want to know something about Rayleigh." The old man's voice sounded in the cave.

Here, the prophet will record the lives of those tribal geniuses.

A flash of memory flashed across Prophet Bai's eyes: "Let's start from the summer when he was 11 years old, when the raid team returned that day."

As for what happened before that, everyone knows that Rayleigh was a hard-working young man who went to the training ground every day regardless of rain or shine. He was a top performer in the eyes of his peers. He always kept a low profile and nothing special happened.

"Okay." The old man sat down facing a stone in the cave.

"On the day the raiding team returned, the body of the boy's most famous brother was brought back. Among the instructions left behind, his wife Itia became the head of the Bastion family, and what was left to the boy was a family sword. , and a pagan for him to complete the warrior blood sacrifice."

Prophet White continued, "I have investigated this matter and found out the true voice of the warriors on the ship while in a hallucinatory state. Those wills were indeed what Thor told the crew when he was dying. Said personally.”

"Have you ever investigated these things?" The old man's expression flashed with confusion.

Normally, Prophet Bai would not investigate other people's wills unless there were some unknown secrets in them.

"Well, we'll talk about this later." Bai Xian continued, "Another thing happened that day. During the blood sacrifice, the pagans launched a very rare surprise attack on the young boy. The weapon was a sharpened weapon. wooden cross."

"Although such situations are rare, they are not unheard of." The old man continued.

There have been incidents before where these heretics tried to exchange their lives for one before they died.

"Yes, so no one will doubt this, but what if it is a thoughtful person, like me, or someone like Rayleigh, or someone like you and Dawn... You may not pay much attention to it when it happens to others, but the feeling is different after all when it happens to you.”

Prophet Bai gave the old man a moment to react, and then said again, "My brother's front leg just died, and his back leg itself was assassinated. If it were me, I would definitely have doubts in my heart."

"The same must be true for Rayleigh. He has concealed his talent since he was a child. His mind is incomparable to others. But he was only 11 years old at the time, and all the elders in his family had passed away. No matter in terms of status or strength, He is not allowed to investigate this matter."

Prophet Bai put himself in the shoes of the young man at that time, "It's okay if it's a coincidence, but if you find out it's not a coincidence when you investigate, it will only bring fatal murderous intentions to you."

The old man nodded: "So, at that time, he could only regard these two things as coincidences and pretend not to know."

"Yes." A flash of emotion flashed across his vertical pupils, "What really shocked me was something that happened later."

"What's the matter?" asked the old man.

"At the banquet after the raiders returned, the second-rate Hobo had thoughts about the Bastian widow because of her husband's death."

Prophet Bai paused, "He died that night, and his body was destroyed."

"You mean, Huo Bo's death was not due to an accident?" A trace of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes.

If he did not die accidentally by Rayleigh, but was killed intentionally, why would the prophet in front of him conceal this matter in the long room before the duel between the old craftsman and Itia.

"When you came to see me, a living member of the tribe disappeared mysteriously, which naturally aroused my interest."

The hoarse voice continued, "I went to investigate this matter. Through the traces of burning corpses found at the Bastion farm and the conversation with the lying woman, I learned that..."

"A woman who loves to lie?" the old man interrupted.

"Yes, it's Itiya. She likes to lie very much, and she never tells the truth." The chest wrapped in white cloth took a faint breath.

"Where's the back?" The old man felt a little happy.

The person in front of me has been very old-fashioned since he was young. He looked very angry during the conversation at the farm.

Bai Xian knew: "From the conversation with her, I thought I knew the whole truth of the matter at that time. There was no doubt that Hobo was killed by Reilly. It wasn't until the boy was poisoned with hallucinogenic powder that he said if."

"Wasn't Hobo killed by Rayleigh?" the old man asked.

Bai Xian replied: "He killed him, but the truth is not that simple."

"What truth?"

"At that time, when I asked about the reason for killing Huo Bo, his answer was: If the right person came to my door, I would just kill him." "The right person who came to my door?"

"One more thing: with the help of his death, maybe I can find an answer."

"Didn't you tell the answer?"

"No, I was interrupted by the girl with different eyes." The vertical pupil flashed a short episode, "So, I could only find the answer from his mouth by myself. I asked Staff, but found nothing. Until I went to the coast, Standing in the bloodstained area where the heretics died, I discovered... the shocking truth about Hobo's death."

"What truth did you discover?" the old man asked.

"A boy who is only 11 years old cannot and is not qualified to investigate the death of his brother and the confusion that he may have been assassinated, but someone can, that person..."

Prophet Bai spit out a name, "That's me."

A flash of memory flashed across his vertical pupils: "At that time, I stood in the bloodstains and brought myself into a young man. I was puzzled to understand the connection between the pagan attack and Hobo's death. The two were completely unrelated. people, two completely different things, until I suddenly realized that there was an extra person standing under my feet."

"One of them is the young man you are acting as, and the other is yourself." The old man reacted, "You yourself are the connection between these two things."

"That's right." Prophet Bai nodded, feeling a little shocked when he thought about it. "Leili, who was weak back then, killed Huobo and destroyed his body. His real purpose was to lure me out and investigate. Hob's death and himself led me to see the possible unusualness of his brother's death and the pagan attack."

What Rayleigh was looking for back then was the answer to the two confusions of his brother's death and his own attack!

"What a terrible young man!" A flash of brilliance and emotion flashed in the old man's eyes.

In terms of his ruthlessness, this can be seen from the fact that he killed Huo Bo without any hesitation.

In terms of his meticulous mind, he actually thought of letting the prophet investigate himself as the murderer through the murder incident, and then discover and investigate and solve the doubts of the other two incidents for him.

A boy who is only 11 years old has such incredible means of breaking the situation. It seems that the tribe has really produced an unprecedented and terrifying person!
At this time, he finally understood the doubt that had arisen just now, why the prophet concealed the truth of the matter and claimed that Huobo died in an accident.He definitely didn't want to alert the enemy, so he could investigate the other two things in secret more conveniently.

"What about the death of his brother and the outcome of the pagan incident?" the old man asked.

With Seer Bai's ability and after so many years of investigation, the truth of the matter should have been clear for a long time.

"Let's look at the events that the young man has experienced since that day: the first thing, the brother's instructions and the attack by the heretics; the second thing, Hobo's death; and the third thing, the fight at the training ground. .”

Bai Xian continued, "In the past few years, Bearded Tom came to me to answer many questions. I investigated him through hallucinogenic powder. The group fight was not as simple as it appeared. There were people in black clothes. Tom was given a treasure chest, and he was asked to do one thing: teach either of the Bastion brothers and sisters a lesson."

The old man vaguely understood: "It happened that Tom and Thor failed in the captain competition before, and he was also dissatisfied with the Bastian family, so he took over the matter and asked his son to find trouble with the little girl. Fights between children will not cause serious problems."

"Yeah, I originally thought it was just a small matter. The Bastian family is headed by a weak woman, and the boy is a loser in the training ground. The girl is too young, so it won't be a big problem. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that the boy His reaction to his sister being beaten was a little bigger, which led to conflicts with his brother Gerald."

The light in the vertical pupils was unclear, "Neither Thom nor Gerald are generous people. Now it seems that this result was expected by the man in black. Therefore, the man in black did not take action after that. It's enough to wait for the conflict to take root, and taking action against him in the tribe is also very troublesome and may lead to my investigation."

"Do you know who the man in black is?" the old man asked.

"From the answer given by Tom in his hallucinogenic powder state, I only know that he is a person whose whole body is hidden except for his eyes in a black cloak."

Prophet White continued, "Due to the conflict between Rayleigh and Gerald at the training ground, and through the mediation of Captain Shurut, the fourth thing happened three years later, the warrior assessment that shocked the tribe. Fight to the death.”

"This is also the reason why Rayleigh believed that he had a certain ability to protect himself. By the way, he eliminated his rival Gerrard and at the same time made the most direct test of the unknown that might be hidden: he exposed his shocking talent. If it is true, If there are hidden unknowns, then I will definitely look for opportunities to take action again."

Prophet White paused for a while: "Next, there is the fifth incident. The Prisoner Island was attacked by the Black Fish Man."

"Wait a minute." The old man interrupted the prophet and continued, with a chill in his eyes and a slightly cold voice, "You mean, in the attack on Prisoner Island, some tribesmen played a role in it?"

"Basically."

"Who is it?" The old man's voice was heavy and cold.

It would be damned to unite with foreigners to attack the enemy tribe.

Bai Xian replied: "I didn't know it at first, until the failed raid team returned, and after the tribal meeting where Bassomo stepped down, a confessor came."
