Chapter-48: Oracle
”So that's what happened.”
A woman covered by vail said that while sighing. Though it was covered, everyone knows that she was undoubtedly a beautiful woman.
She was wearing a pure white dress, on her head, there was a gorgeous white headwear. It was Pope of Holy Empire. As a nation of religious, Pope is the highest rank of the government. In a roundabout way, you can say she is the Emperor of this empire.
In front of her, two people were kneeling down. One was a man and another one was a woman. If you connect the dot you will get who they were, it was Bishop Nicolo and Priestess Rina.
”Yes, your eminence. That guy was strong and dangerous. I don't know how strong the Western Dragon Emperor is but he was the strongest person I have ever seen.”
Nicolo said while Rina was nodding.
”Sigh! That is something unbelievable things happen, but you guys were the only one who witnessed that, so I will put my trust in your eyes. Well, whatever, every event happened in this world, all of that events were will of the Gods, as well as every event will happen in the future, all of them already foresighted by Gods. Only we can do is deeply believe in them. God will punish the sinner and reward the winner. Northern Dragon's annihilation was the will of Gods whether in a good way or bad way, for now, we can do is take measure against the upcoming future.”
Pope Tori Kuhaki told them with an angelic voice.
”Yes.” x2
Both them respond while touching their locket which was hanging on their neck.
”Now, you guys take rest for a week. Before going back to the Naga Kingdom do an audience with me.”
”Understood.” x2
Saying that both of them bowed and left the scene.
A Middle-aged man came from out of nowhere.
”Your Eminence, do you really believe them?”
He asked the woman. But Pope Tori asked him back.
”Father, you were former Pope before me, tell me if you would believe in them as a ruler.”
In this world, humans average lifespan is 300 years. But among the human, some of them managed to live more than one thousand years. Those who are alive among them it was this Middle-aged man whose age is the record in human society. His current age is 1756.
”As a ruler, I would have half believed them and half doubt them. But as an experience old fogie, I think only 70% of their word was the truth. But the lie they are overlooking... or, hiding is the most crucial news that we shouldn't ignore.”
”Is that so? So that was it.”
It was visible that she also has come to the same calculation.
After a slight pause, she asked him,
”Do you really think, a human can annihilate an entire Dragon King Palace?”
The Middle-aged man shook his head.
”No, even if they are weakest among all four Dragon Palace, It's impossible to kill them for a mere human.”
”Is that so? Yes, he is not a human.”
Hearing her answer the Middle-aged man frown.
”Tell me a thing, why weren't surprised upon hearing the news of that individual? No, you weren't surprised or anything even when you heard about Northern Dragon's annihilation. It looks like to me you knew beforehand. Are you hiding something, Your Eminence?”
