Chapter 364 Floating Dragon Island (1/2)
The fortune teller held onto the magical crystal ball and mumbled, while the Silvers and the mercenaries watched and exchanged looks.
”Will fortune-telling even work?” Herlous asked. A target that all kinds of detection devices could not find, and a fortune teller could just lock onto it like that? Sunil was a technological civilization, so they had very limited knowledge of sorcery. They had only heard about it and never understood how it worked, so it was normal to be doubtful.
Han Xiao touched his chin. ”That depends, there are many strange things in the universe. Something that technology devices can't do, sorcery can, and vice versa. Of course, as they both improve, the different systems will gradually have more similarities, and it all leads to the same place. The fortune telling of the Mage class is quite useful.”
”Can't you use your foreseeing ability?” Herlous suddenly remembered that there was a foreseer standing right beside him.
”Mine is passive, passive…” Han Xiao dry coughed and gave a logical explanation.
About ten minutes into the mumbling, a blurred image appeared on the magical crystal ball, and the fortune teller stopped chanting. The fortune teller stared at the crystal for a while, then rubbed his eyes and said unsurely, ”I saw a Void Dragon race…”
The crowd was stunned.
Void Dragon race?
What are you talking about‽
The clarity of the fortune telling results depended on the number of traces. Most of the time it would be ambiguous, but it would definitely be related to the truth. The fortune teller said, ”I can only see this result, do you have any leads?”
The mercenaries surrounded the crystal ball and discussed, while Goa frowned and said suddenly, ”Could it be… Floating Dragon Island?”
The crowd stopped their discussion instantly when they heard this. It was like someone pressed the mute button, and the mercenaries quietened down and exchanged looks. A tint of horror even appeared on their faces.
”Very possible… if there's any organization in the Shattered Star Ring unafraid of revenge, Floating Dragon Island is one of them.”
Maple Moon noticed how stiff the people were. She tugged on Han Xiao's sleeve and asked curiously, ”What kind of place is that?”
Han Xiao squinted his eyes and said, ”Wanted criminals can't get supplies from lawful civilization's planets, but some neutral territories dare to take in galactic pirates, scavengers, and other criminals. Floating Dragon Island is one such neutral territory.”
”Then isn't that a gathering ground of criminals? Why don't these civilizations just get rid of all of them at once?” Bun-Hit-Dog cut in.
”Not to pursue one's past sins in neutral territories, this is the unspoken rules between the civilizations in Shattered Star Ring because of one and only one reason—these long-lasting neutral territories all have a strong ruler.” Han Xiao seemed to have remembered something interesting. The edges of his lips rose up as he said, ”The ruler of Floating Dragon Island… is someone beyond Calamity Grade!”
Beyond Calamity Grade… which means higher than grade A‽
The players' faces changed. They finally understood why these mercenaries all had such grave expressions.
