Chapter 702: Nothing is meaningless (2) (1/2)
She did not see this kind of result because she did not bother trying to see it.
So, they look at each other like a pair of lovers that have never seen each other for years. Then the sound of the wolf from the nearby dark forest startled them both and Antonius regain his wit and then ask her
'Will you not tell me anything Erika?'
His tone is calm and his word is polite but Erika knows that Antonius is angry. He rarely calls her Erika unless he is mad.
He always calls her Great Oracle. The only time when he used the name Erika is when he is being affectionate or when he is being angry., And right now, she is sure that Antonius is feeling mad at him.
But then she calms herself down and said
Why did you return? She asked as she put down the pestle.
Is the one you are waiting for Death Monarch?' as he waited for her answer
He knows she is here waiting for someone. Until today, he only had guesses who she had been waiting for.
But today, he is certain.
He had always accompanied her. She would never have sent him away unless it is too dangerous to implicate him. And what is more dangerous than to meet with Death Monarch?
Antonius knows some things about Erika.
But he did not know everything about her. And as such, his understanding of the situation is lacking.
He did not know that whether she tries to run from it or not run from it. The destination is still the same. She would meet him regardless of the choice she makes.
Because Oracle are also bind by fate and destiny. They are its instrument and not a weapon to use against faith and destiny.
Erika smiles bitterly and nodded
Antonius shakes his head.
'Death Monarch is not someone we can afford to offend'
'I am just seeing his future? Why would I offend him? She smiles as she looks at him with a clear eye
Antonius snorted and said
'Don't lie to me. I think you know whatever you are about to see, it would not be something good. If its something good why were you preparing so many things? Why would you send me to the other forbidden zones of the world and told me to investigate what kind of monsters live there, what kind of factions made their base there and why did you made all of this preparation? Is it not because you know how dangerous it would be for us after? You are seeing the future of the strongest person in the world. Don't you think the other six Great powers would not be curious at all of what you see? Would they not hunt you? This is a muddy water and you are throwing yourself into it' Erika smiles like the matter is unrelated to him
This is the reason why Antonius was worried about all day. The problem is not only because of Death Monarch dangerous reputation.
It is also because what happens after. Even if Death Monarch did not have a bad future in store for him, what happens next?
The Six Great powers would surely know that the oracle had read the future of Death Monarch
Why? Because there are a lot of surveillance on Death Monarch and investigation around Death Monarch itself.
While they could not probe the more important stuff from Death Monarch this did not mean that they would not know anything about Death Monarch.
For someone so powerful to move around the world, it will leave a trace. And while Death Monarch could erase his trace perfectly, the same could not be said for Erika
