Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 271 - Prophecy

Chapter 271 -271 Prophecy

Having resolved the Black Goo Man from the Harmon family, Tang Qi scanned the surroundings, silently extending his perception to its maximum to make sure there wasn’t a second abnormality hiding around. He then returned to the living room, helping Sally lift her excessively heavy mother.

They moved her next to the three witches, and she soon came to as well, merely knocked unconscious without any complicated curse or other harm.

However, upon awakening, their first glance was not towards Sally.

Instead, their eyes simultaneously fell on Tang Qi.

And what was incomprehensible was that in the eyes of the three witches, as well as Sally’s mother, there was not a trace of surprise towards Tang Qi, this “stranger” who had inexplicably appeared in Sally’s house.

It was as if they had already known of Tang Qi’s presence.

Even more so, the three witches wore relieved expressions, as if they had been waiting for Tang Qi all along.

And his appearance seemed to confirm a premonition that they held deep inside.

Only Sally’s mother had a fierce look, staring at Tang Qi with a scrutinizing gaze as if to say: “So, you’re the one who abducted my precious daughter?”

Tang Qi had originally wanted to use the phrase: It’s you, the head pig who uprooted my family’s succulent cabbage, but considering the language habits of the Federation, and the issue with calling oneself a pig, he gave up the idea.

Fortunately, before the atmosphere could turn awkward,

One of the witches, who seemed to be the leader, dressed in a dazzling Gypsy skirt with golden-brown curly hair, faintly smiled at Tang Qi, seemingly unaware of the death she was facing.

Thanks to the “Healing Skill” in the Light Badge, she was constantly enveloped in a soft Holy Light.

But obviously, it couldn’t prevent her from swiftly walking towards death, and the two witches behind her were the same.

Yet the three maintained calm demeanors, watching Tang Qi, and Sally, who obediently helped her mother and stood by Tang Qi’s side.

“It is an honor to meet you, young Son of the Melting Furnace,” said the witch.

This first sentence from the witch caused Tang Qi’s expression to change slightly.

His body tensed up momentarily, and his mind instantly recollected the previous combat where he had revealed the Melting Furnace Power while the three witches were on the brink of death. Was it then that he was exposed?

Tang Qi had many identities, starting from the Night Wing Knight, progressing to Secret Alchemist, Artifact Forger, and even Beast Tamer, among others.

Even if these identities were exposed, Tang Qi wouldn’t care too much.

But being a Melter Wizard was different, the more he understood about the secrets between the Dark Age and the Great Catastrophe.

The more cautious Tang Qi became about practicing the Golden Furnace Meditation. Especially after obtaining the “Sacrifice Method,” his concerns only intensified.

The hunting down of Evil Gods!

It seemed to be something many strong individuals from the Order and Justice Camps were engaged in, but other Professionals did not suffer the tragic fate of the Molten Furnace Wizard lineage.

Perhaps it was because other professions do not so recklessly sacrifice Evil Gods and related matters, almost completely offending the Evil God Camp to the death.

According to the Misfortune Witch’s secondary personality, the Molten Furnace Wizard lineage was obliterated during the Great Catastrophe.

Therefore, many Professionals and factions had forgotten this line of wizards.

If Tang Qi’s identity as a Melter Wizard were to be revealed, he would probably soon attract numerous Evil God’s Sons, descendents, and Believers, zealously hunting him down.

As he pondered, the golden-brown curly-haired witch seemed to notice something and quickly said: “You need not worry. At the current stage in the Federation, only the leader can use an ancient Curio to divinate and prophesize your presence through Divination.”

“It is also because you were guarding this child’s side that we have not come to take her away until now…”

“Divination? Prophecy?”

Tang Qi heard the two most frequently mentioned words in the mysterious side.

Whether it’s for the ordinary people or Transcendents, these two words are often heard.

Especially the Gypsy Witch’s Divination ability, it has always been the guarantee for their wandering existence.

However, everyone knows, so-called prophecies are usually nothing more than rhetoric.

This point is universally acknowledged, whether in the Divine Eagle Federation, or the distant Saha Continent, or that vast country on the other side of the boundless ocean.

Even after the revival of the Spiritual Tide, the ability of prophecy remains an untouchable domain.

But now, the witch before him told Tang Qi that all this, including the existence of Tang Qi himself, had been prophesied by the Witch Leader.

Tang Qi neither believed nor “exposed” her but calmly watched as the middle-aged witch continued to speak.

“The leader prophesied that a young Son of the Melting Furnace would appear beside the Daughter of Destiny; he would be her mentor, her true love…”

“Hisss!”

It was as if the sound of steam surging could be heard in the air, Sally’s fair and beautiful face suddenly flushed red at this moment, and she struggled to suppress it, but to no avail—it made things worse, her face turned even redder.

Fortunately, everyone else was very in tune.

Neither Tang Qi nor the witch glanced aside, seeming not to notice these things at all.

On the other hand, Sally’s mother’s gaze towards Tang Qi became even more fierce.

The middle-aged witch’s soft, calm voice continued: “Over a decade ago, the leader found the Daughter of Destiny first and helped her seal the power of Misfortune, as well as concealed her tracks, so that those cursed monsters could not know of her existence.”

“But the leader’s power cannot suppress the curse forever, nor continue to hide the traces of destiny. Those monsters will eventually find out, and as long as that curse exists for one day, all of this cannot end. The power this child possesses is the only key to that end.”

At this point, Tang Qi could sense that the witch’s aura was getting weaker.

She could hold on for only a few dozen more breaths; she was about to die.

Both the witch herself and Sally’s mother knew this.

Because, unnoticed, the two witches with golden-brown curly hair behind the middle-aged witch had already closed their eyes calmly with no breath left—they were dead.

“Cynthia and Iola volunteered, and so did I.”

“The leader and the other members used magic to obstruct the monsters’ tracking; before entering the Land of Termination, they could not sense the Daughter of Destiny’s breath. Upon entering the Land of Termination, their sensing will become meaningless.”

“This is the fairest method; we three sacrifice our lives in exchange for only one Black Wizard and a Harmon Descendant to appear.”

“The rest of the journey, I can only entrust to you.”

The middle-aged witch gazed at Tang Qi, seeming to await something, with perhaps less than ten breaths left in her life.

But Tang Qi seemed not to understand her implied meaning, blinking innocently.

This made the witch sigh helplessly before continuing:

“Young Son of the Melting Furnace, we have not deceived you. Once the leader’s side is breached, all the cursed monsters will sense Sally’s existence, not just those creatures from the Immortal Council but others as well…”

“Escort Sally to the Land of Termination, and the leader will provide you with a satisfactory reward.”

The second sentence was directly transmitted into Tang Qi’s mind by the witch.

“Deal!”

Similarly, in the witch’s mind, Tang Qi’s voice echoed.
