The side hall of Salyuhi Palace.
King Kelman and Earl Philip were looking seriously at the fortune teller sitting on the floor in the hall. The fortune teller seemed to be almost older than Master Piro. He was still chanting strange spells, and the crystal ball in front of him was emitting a strange lake-purple light.
Since the curtains were drawn across the entire side hall, coupled with the dim purple light, it looked very strange and eerie, especially the fortune teller's face reflected in the light. If anyone else looked at it, they would probably faint on the spot. Kelman's face was solemn, while Fei Lie seemed to be relieved of the strangeness, and it could even be said that there was no emotion on his face. Several times he felt sleepy, and if it hadn't been for the king's presence, he would have yawned long ago.
After the spell was over, the purple light in the crystal ball finally dissipated. The fortune teller finally woke up.
"Master Lushan, what did you find out about the divination this time when Lonely led an army to meet the enemy Tingxiao people?" Kelman asked eagerly. If Master Piro saw the scene in front of him and knew that he and such a magic stick were both called masters by the king, he would probably be so angry that his mouth would be full of smoke and his eyes would bleed.
"Your Majesty, what a good sign, what a good sign." Master Toyama wanted to laugh, but unexpectedly he choked on his own saliva and coughed until he burst into tears. Kelman quickly went up and stroked his back, which made him feel a little better, but Earl Philip just stood there as if he wasn't looking at or listening to anything.
"I just had a divination. It's a good omen that is rare in a hundred years." Master Toyama stood up with difficulty, relying on Kelman's support.
Hearing what Master Toshiyama said, Kelman was overjoyed, "Master, so you are saying that I will definitely win this time?"
"Your Majesty, not only that, I have received a revelation from heaven. In the future, this entire continent, spanning the north and south of the Tralede Mountains, will be ruled by the Kelman surname. People with Kelman's blood flowing in their bodies will be the rulers of this continent. The ruler." Master Toyama's ravaged face also beamed with joy.
King Kelman heard what the master of divination said, and his ambition that had been dormant for twenty years was ignited. Earl Felie looked calm. In his opinion, no matter what the divination master said, he would not be surprised at all.
Originally, His Majesty the King planned to ask for more details, but Count Fei Lie picked up Master Tushitayama, not forgetting to pick up the crystal ball, and took the master out of the hall with a quick step.
The master wanted to say a few words, and looked back at His Majesty from time to time as he walked. However, the count did not give him a chance and thrust him into the hands of the palace attendant after walking out of the palace.
"Take good care of the fortune teller of Thrush Mountain." Earl Felie ordered coldly.
The palace attendants on both sides took the order and took the divination master away.
"It's fine if you don't believe it. Why are you so rude to the master?" Kelman glared at the count.
"I've been rude to him for decades," Earl Philip said helplessly. "I think he won't hold a grudge against me."
Kelman recalled the past. Every time he led his army on the eve of an expedition, he and Fei Lie would go to the fortune teller named Thrush Mountain to check their fortunes. This had been a habit for many years. After he came to the throne, he took the thrush who was still making a living on the streets and made a living by doing divination to the palace and settled him in the palace. This time, when the army was going on an expedition, he thought of this person again.
But seeing Earl Philip, whom he had only met once in several years, was the most gratifying thing for him.
"Felie, how many years have we not seen each other?" Kelman asked with a wry smile.
"The last time I saw His Majesty was the princess's birthday dinner." Fei Lie recalled.
Kelman sighed and said: "You old guy, you always don't want to see people. Now six or seven years have passed."
Fei Lie lowered his head and said nothing.
Kelman looked at Fei Lie and didn't blame him anymore. There was something pressing between them that neither of them could explain for so many years.
"Old man, I'm going to the front line this time," Kelman looked at Fei Lie with a smile, "You can't run away, so you have to come with me this time."
"In matters like war, I must follow His Majesty." Fei Lie said slowly.
"You are quite interesting as an old fellow," Kelman sighed. "The people around me now are not innocent in their thoughts."
Philip didn't know how to comfort His Majesty, or rather he didn't want to comfort His Majesty, so he simply remained silent.
Kelman also knew that there was no point in talking to his old friend, so he changed his mind and asked, "What do you think of the Tingxiao people's rash attack this time?"
"The princess was stabbed by a child of the prince's family. It's really strange that people from Tingxiao suddenly attacked at this moment." Fei Lie began to ponder, and suddenly asked solemnly: "Your Majesty, do you think someone is secretly communicating with Tingxiao? people?"
"To tell you the truth, I thought so when I received the battle report from the front line. Later, after discussing it with Master Piro, he also advised me to pay more attention to the ministers under me." Kyle Man rubbed his temples with his fingers, "Then who do you think is secretly communicating with Tingxiao? What is the purpose?"
"Do you think it could be Yuan Yasu?" Kelman started talking to himself without waiting for Fei Lie's answer, "But that doesn't make sense. Since it was his hand that gave the magic potion to the child of the Resa family, then he What are you going to do to contact Tingxiao people now? Wouldn't it be better to wait until I deal with Resa?"
"The one who plotted against the prince's children was Governor Yuan Yasu?" Fei Lie was a little surprised.
"We found out that the raw materials of the potion changed hands several times, but they were finally bought by Yuan Kang. That thing seems to be called Li Chi Long Gan." Kelman frowned.
Fei Lie nodded, "No wonder they said that the children of the Reza family looked as if they were suffering from mental illness. It turned out that they were poisoned by a magic potion made from the liver of the red dragon. Once ordinary people are exposed to this kind of magic potion, , the nerves in the body can be excited more than ten times."
"But Your Majesty, it seems that Governor Yuan Yasuo is the most suspect in this matter. But is there something fishy behind it?" Fei Lie couldn't help but wonder.
"What else could be fishy? Yuan Kang has been thinking about how to dismount Lesala every day for these years." Kelman said with a sinister expression, "Once this matter is found out, if it were someone else, I might still be suspicious. If it’s Yuan Yasu, there’s no need to doubt it.”
Fei Lie saw that His Majesty's face was ugly and said no more.
"Yuanyasu usually makes troubles, but I can still tolerate him. Now that he has attacked the princess, this is because he is planning on me, so he must not be tolerated." Kelman said sternly.
"Then it makes sense that the Tingxiao people suddenly invaded. It couldn't be that the prince had an affair with the Tingxiao people in order to save himself?" Fei Lie asked.
"He is not a prophet. How could he know that Yuan Kang would plot against his son at the pillow sword meeting? Besides, the time is not right. It is estimated that the Tingxiao people have invaded Maine for several days, and the news here in Saliuxi is estimated to have just reached Maine,” Kellman retorted.
Fei Lie couldn't figure it out for a while, so he turned to ask, "What did Master Piro say?"
"Master Piro can't guess why." Kelman sighed,
"Then it seems that you have to be careful during this expedition. Not only do you have to be careful of Tingxiao people, but you also have to be careful of your own people." Fei Lie also sighed.
Kelman looked at Fei Lie's solemn expression and couldn't help but joked: "Master Piro couldn't guess it, but Master Toyama guessed it."
Fei Lie smiled helplessly when he heard this and thought to himself, "How many times has Master Toyama been fooled in all these years?"
