Chapter 746
After I arrived in Bardi, I went to go visit a woman who was single and pregnant, and then she kicked me out…
Ahem, that sounded rather dirty, so to explain better, I simply went to visit my "sister-in-law" Leona . Previously, I had asked dragon knights to "transport" her to the Bardi capital . It seemed that she was still angry at me for that .
Leona's complexion seemed to be better than it was several months ago when I saw her last . Maybe it was due to the pregnancy bringing out her motherly nature, but not only did she seem gentler than before, her face had also become rounder .
"She seems womanlier now . "
Maybe my words were a bit sexist, but Leona had indeed obviously changed .
At the very least, she didn't directly draw her sword against me the moment that she saw me . It seemed that her upcoming motherhood had softened her somewhat .
When calculating the time, Leona was now approximately four or five months into her pregnancy . There was no evident bulge in her belly yet . It was also possible that her pregnancy wouldn't last nine months like an ordinary human's .
Fine, all of that was just me making stuff up . I had been single for more than three centuries already . How would I possibly know anything about pregnant women?
In order to avoid making a pregnant woman angry, I left after leaving just a letter behind . I arranged that we would go visit "Truthful Environment" archmage Akama tomorrow for a prophecy . As for how I had just recently met Karwenz, I didn't have the time to tell that to her… Alright, I admit that I forgot to talk about Leona with Karwenz when I met him, which made me feel somewhat guilty now .
For once, I had some rare free time to myself as I walked down the streets of Bardi .
Prophets would always have a lot of rules, easily being able to come up with lots of excuses and reasons . Being able to easily access prophecies would only make them seem cheap, after all .
Being able to meet with Akama tomorrow was a rare instance of my reputation working in my favor . This was thanks to my Truth emblems, as no matter what, I was also nominally a member of the Mage Country's Truth Symposium .
Actually, with the current situation as it was, I didn't have too much hope that Akama would be able to prophesize anything for me .
"Does Karwenz intend on destroying the dimensional barrier?"
This was my original foundational question, but it no longer needed to be asked .
"How is he going to destroy the dimensional barrier? What is his ultimate goal? Where can I catch him and stop him?"
Answers to these questions would be quite valuable to me . However, it was quite obvious that Akama wouldn't be able to prophesize such answers .
The basic rule of prophecy magic was that "yes or no" questions were the easiest to prophesize; the more specific the question regarding an individual, place, time, and so on, the greater of a price there would be for the answer . Also, the more powerful the target of the question, the greater of a price there would be as well .
This was just like trying to look up information on someone random on the internet in my past life . It would be really easy to find out if a random person was male or female, and if they were alive or dead . However, if you wanted to know what that person was thinking, what they were doing right now, or if they had any perverted fetishes… that would probably require dissecting their brain .
Prophecy was a technique of its own . Skill was required in order to ask the questions which would be easiest to prophesize .
This was even more so after the God of Fate cut off the River of Fate . All prophecies about the future became no different from trying one's luck on gambling on a horse race . But, if the question was about the present, and if more people knew about the information, then the prophecy would be easier to receive .
Besides, the God of Fate was on my side as Catio was a Hell God . I could probably get him to go easy on me .
I toured the streets of Bardi in my boredom while also thinking about the most appropriate prophecy question to ask Akama .
"Is Karwenz searching for the Chaos Girls?"
If this was really true, then it was happening already . It was likely that some among his subordinates or allies also knew about the Chaos Girls . Asking this question probably wouldn't require a large price, and if I received confirmation on this question, then I would ask my second question .
"Is searching for the Chaos Girls the most important thing to Karwenz right now?"
In a way, this question was asking in a roundabout manner if the Chaos Girls were connected to the dimensional barrier . Karwenz's primary goal was most likely to shatter the dimensional barrier, after all .
My System also had her guesses about the Chaos Girls, but receiving confirmation would be even better .
