NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 432 Forecast bias
Starry Night Kingdom, Pimos City, "Gold Jadeite Ore Store".
After the shopkeeper disappeared mysteriously, the store selling metal ore was listed as a restricted area for citizens by the resident mage.
Except for the resident mage responsible for tracking the case, no one will stay here, but it is inevitable that uninvited guests will break through the security circle outside the store and sneak in quietly.
In the dead of night, a tall black shadow sneaked into the backyard of the shop under the cover of hazy night and stopped in the empty alchemy room.
"Another missing informant"
A hoarse voice sounded in the dark room. His Temple Common Tongue was not quite accurate and sounded a little distorted:
"All the informants planted by Inster Heguman in the Kingdom of Starry Night have disappeared..."
Another short black figure entered the alchemy room and said in the common language of the temple with the same weird pronunciation:
"Sir, I have inquired. About 20 days ago, more than a dozen disappearances occurred on the same night in several cities in the kingdom. The missing persons were all alchemists recognized by the academy. Inster Heguman's informant , are all on the missing persons list.”
"Someone is preventing us from mobilizing the manpower laid down by Inster Heguman." said the tall black figure who arrived here first. "He predicted our actions in advance and erased our intelligence sources in advance."
The second short black figure who came here shook his head and said, "On the missing list, there are also informants from other forces in the temple. I guess they are the informants installed by the Holy Pattern Department, the Tribunal or the Demon Hunting School. It’s obvious that the mysterious man who kidnapped Inster Heguman’s men was not targeting us.”
The tall black figure looked at the other party and said, "Think again."
The short black shadow was silent for a few seconds, "Oh, we may have met a powerful guy. Fortunately, you reminded me. As long as this person cuts off all easily accessible intelligence personnel in the kingdom, we must go deep into Only in places protected by the academy's magic can we have access to people who possess intelligence. The difficulty for us in obtaining information will skyrocket, and our actions will be hindered."
"Humph." The tall black figure sneered a few times, "It's really not easy for you to react in time. Then can you guess who is stopping us?"
The short black shadow seemed to be stumped by this question. He thought hard for half a minute and still couldn't find the answer.
"It's really stupid. How could the Archbishop let someone like you follow me?"
The tall black figure sneered and said:
“Only the immortals of the August family can do this by using the humans of the Western Continent as bait to mobilize our army.
"I have long heard about the old and new divisions in the August family. The old immortals and the young people don't look at each other, and they think each other has something wrong with their brains.
“Using humans from the Western Continent as bait is obviously contrary to the style of August’s younger generation.
"Now, tell me, who has the magic of time and space that can predict our actions and eliminate the spies in the Starry Night Kingdom one step ahead?"
The short figure bent down and said humbly:
"Thank you for the tip, Lord Grandsabech.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the work of Teste August, the young leader of the August family. Only with the strength of his laws of time and space can it be possible to penetrate your time and space curtain and spy on ours in advance. action."
"Well, that's right." Grand Sabage came to the short figure, stretched out his hand to pinch the other person's delicate face, "On the territory of the temple, use the name of the temple, Ilona. You have to call me Si. Lord Varden."
"Yes, Lord Swaden." Ilona responded respectfully.
"Now go prepare a list for me."
GLS Beqi, the great steward of the Church of Strange Demons, personally took action and transformed into a human nobleman named Swaden.
He walked slowly in the alchemy room and said:
"Before dawn, I want to know who in the Starry Night Kingdom has access to the information we want, but at the same time is not under heavy protection.
"I have to remind you, Ilona. Be careful of the traps set by Tester August. Don't be caught by him before you find a suitable spy target."
"Yes, Lord Swaden, I will be more careful." The short figure bowed and saluted, and then left through the window of the alchemy room.
After Ilona left, Gransabechi let out an inexplicable emotion:
"Oh hoo~ August. I wonder if you can see the division of your family... It's really gratifying."
…
Western Continent, a secret base in the western mountains.
At midnight.
The forest on the surface was silent, but the underground base was bustling with activity.
The loyal blood magic puppets received the master's order and once again started the heavy weapon refining line that was originally planned to be suspended, working overtime to produce controlled products for the master.
Xia Zuo broke away from the state of predicting the future, and looked at the fading colorful spots on his body with confusion.
Using the [Space-Time Phase Simulator] to deduce the future results put him in a state of confusion...
The situation is this:
From Beatrice talking about the catastrophe in the Western Continent to Little Golden Wattle crying and falling asleep because of sadness, everyone's behavior made Xia Zuo feel that the Western Continent was about to be filled with corpses.
However, the future timeline in the [Space-Time Phase Simulator] shows a different situation.
Xia Zuo viewed a total of 390 future timelines.
There are only 10 future timelines in which the so-called Holocaust occurs.
In addition, there are more than 30 future timelines in which half of the Starry Night Kingdom was destroyed, and many people survived. The plan of the alien demon army to harvest life force was thwarted by the temple army who arrived. Even the gate of Starry Night Academy was not opened. Attacked by strange demons.
Not to mention the remaining approximately 350 timelines, which can be described as loud as the wind and light as the raindrops - it is true that some strange demons invaded the Starry Night Kingdom and used blood magic to replace a group of nobles who could barely access the secrets, but They were all eradicated by the city-based mage and the demon-hunting school who took action. In the end, the Starry Night Kingdom spent a month or two in calm.
On the contrary, the Kingdom of Wildhammer is very restless.
Among the 390 future timelines, at least 300 show the turbulent and chaotic Kingdom of Wildhammer.
The strange demons somehow found a way to bypass the underground defense lines of the Wildhammer Kingdom and blew up the top cornerstone of the geothermal magma zone, triggering an earth-shattering earthquake that caused half of the Wildhammer Kingdom to collapse overnight. It disappeared, creating a spectacular grand canyon, like a ferocious scar on the earth.
Judging from the deduction results, it is the Kingdom of Wildhammer that will undergo drastic changes in the future, not the Kingdom of Starry Night... But why are Beatrice and Little Golden Wattle so sad?
Xia Zuo scratched his head and returned to the desk to sit down, feeling a little tired.
The description of Beatrice and Little Golden Wattle is one clue, and the future timeline deduced using the [Space-Time Phase Simulator] is another clue. The two clues should have converged and pointed to the same result, but they have produced completely different results. Disagreements…
According to Xia Zuo's experience in his previous life, the occurrence of this situation means that there is an unknown blind spot between the two clues, and it is a very important blind spot that can interfere with the direction of the entire event.
Xia Zuo wanted to figure out what this blind spot was.
He gently touched the culture jar a few times to wake up the little golden wattle flower in the glass cover.
"What's wrong...Xia Zuo?" Little Jin Jinghua woke up while rubbing her "eyes", "Have you used the spell to predict the future to see the future of the Starry Night Kingdom? Have you found a turning point?"
Xia Zuo told the truth, "I have predicted it, but I see that the future is different from what we thought. It is the Kingdom of Wildhammer, not the Kingdom of Starry Night, that will suffer."
"Ah?" Little Jin Jinghua trembled and was very surprised, "How could this happen? Elder Natalie's predictions have always been very accurate..."
Xia Zuo crossed his arms and thought, "You mean, you heard what you said before from Lady Natalis?"
"That's right." Little Golden Wattle held up her "chin" with a leaf, "It's so strange. Elder Natalis can't be wrong... Let me think about it... This kind of situation seems to have happened before, the prediction of time and space magic There are obvious differences between the results and the logical analysis of reality... What did Elder Natalie tell me at that time?"
Half a minute later, Little Golden Wattle Hua hugged her head and said, "Oh, that's bad. I remembered."
She raised her head, slightly panicked, "Xia Zuo, are you being targeted?"
"What?" Xia Zuo frowned, "How do you say this?"
The little golden vitex flower did not answer Xia Zuo's words. Instead, it put its "hands" on its back like a human being, pulled out its roots from the soil, and paced back and forth in the culture tank imitating Xia Zuo's contemplative appearance, muttering:
"So that's it, that's it. No wonder Elder Natalie didn't dare to say more..."
Looking at the little golden thorn flower that looked like the Riddler, Xia Zuo became even more confused.
Just when he was about to ask further, the little golden vitex flower immediately stood still, put up a leaf and placed it in front of the bud:
"Shh~ Xia Zuo, don't ask too much. Do you still remember why I can't tell you the specific location of the Faceless Man?"
Xia Zuo's eyes widened suddenly, and a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes:
"I remember! You mean"
"Hush~shh~ don't say it." Little Jin Jinghua quickly stopped him and lowered her voice:
"The situation this time is more serious than when you asked for the specific location of the Faceless Man. Our opponent is very unusual and very powerful. The deviation in your prediction is the most direct proof."
Xia Zuo shut his mouth tightly and nodded solemnly.
"You should keep a low profile next, try not to come into contact with others, and spend more time observing the future. Elder Natalis once said that as long as the amount of intelligence collected is enough, you can always detect clues."
The little golden vitex flower rolled up a leaf and made a fist-pumping gesture:
"I believe you can do it! Come on!"
"Yes!" Xia Zuo nodded heavily, "You can continue to sleep. I have arranged the affairs of the school and will immediately check the future I observed."
"Ang~ I'm going to sleep then." Little Jin Jinghua pointed to the alchemy bag and motioned to Xia Zuo to pour a few potions for herself.
