"Is it the symbol on this slate?" Nis pushed the slate toward Dororo.
Dororo shook his head: "I don’t know."
Although he didn’t get a definitive answer, Nis had a premonition that the glowing symbol appearing on the back of the hand of the cloaked figure Number 0 was likely from the same soul force as the symbol on the slate.
"It seems there’s some link between this symbol and the organ in the container. Perhaps this symbol can bring some transmutation to the organ?" Nis speculated based on the actions of the cloaked figure Number 0 in the scene: "If this speculation is true, then this is indeed not just a simple smuggling."
Angel nodded as well: "It’s a pity that from the current clues, it’s hard to deduce what the symbol’s effect is."
Once the effect of the symbol is known, perhaps it would explain why these people are conducting such a large-scale human sacrifice in the earth cavern.
Nis didn’t understand this either. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I’ll go to the ruins later and ask Ironclad Granny. Granny knows a lot about these fringe news."
Back then, it was also Ironclad Granny who determined that the symbols on the slate were highly likely from the Steven Safety Zone in the Quest World. Therefore, Nis thought of Ironclad Granny immediately.
"Alright, then I’ll trouble you."
Temporarily setting aside the effect of the symbol, Nis and Angel turned their focus to other clues in the scene.
Nis stared intently at the faces of the three cloaked figures, a contemplative look in his eyes.
"Tattooing numbers on the face, that’s very rare. From the details of the characters, the numbers are large enough to cover half of the face. Such large black numbers seem somewhat familiar to me."
"Do you mean you’ve seen these types of people before, Wizard Nis?" Angel looked at Nis.
Nis shook his head: "I’m certain I haven’t seen them. However, I feel like I’ve heard of people with similar tattoos."
"Let me think." Nis lightly tapped his index finger on his brow, trying to awaken the memory hidden in the corners by rhythmically tapping.
After a while, Nis lowered his hand and shook his head at Angel: "I can’t recall."
"Although my memory isn’t as remarkable as your mentor’s, it’s not far off. I can easily recall events from hundreds of years ago. But this time, I can’t remember. It’s likely due to some minor details I overlooked."
"Perhaps places I’ve visited, some murals I’ve seen unintentionally, or some rumors I’ve heard inadvertently."
These are extremely fragmented memories. Nis inadvertently etched the details into his mind back then. Touring through countless memories to search for an unintended snippet is quite challenging.
"I’ll think about it later, or I might ask others to see if they have any impressions."
Angel: "That’s the only way."
Dororo, seeing Angel sigh, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes: "It’s my lack of ability..."
Angel was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Dororo suddenly began to blame himself.
"You’ve already done well enough." Angel: "You didn’t personally go to the earth cavern; just seeing so much through an illusion is already commendable."
Listening to the conversation between Angel and Dororo, Nis was full of confusion.
This isn’t good? This is called lacking ability? And still self-accusation?
Nis had previously wondered if Dororo’s reputation outside was perhaps exaggerated, but after seeing these scenes, he no longer doubted Dororo’s prophetic ability.
To find so many scenes from within the ethereal timeline without going on-site even after so many years - even Maya the witch would scarcely be capable of this.
One might even surmise that the observers of the Crown Star Church, if they were here, might be at about the same level as Dororo.
For Dororo to achieve this level as just an apprentice is incredibly impressive, and yet still complains about lacking skill?
Nis: "Your prophetic ability is actually quite decent. If you could help me pinpoint a more useful point on the slate, I could call you the number one Prophet Wizard in Barbarian Cave."
Dororo glanced at Nis, completely ignoring him.
Nis could only turn to Angel for help with his gaze.
Angel thought, if Nis could find a useful point sooner, it would save him from bringing the slate every now and then. With this in mind, Angel decided to help Nis by saying a few words.
With Angel’s support, Dororo naturally wouldn’t refuse. He turned to Nis, gesturing for him to introduce what he wanted to be prophesied.
Looking at the double standard Dororo, although Nis wanted to vent some complaints, he still cheerfully introduced the situation of the slate.
While Dororo and Nis were exchanging, Angel returned to reality.
Using illusion techniques, he displayed the images Dororo showed to Frode and asked Frode to help search for some clues.
The main task was to investigate the emblem on the boots, the black and red pattern on the woman’s arm, and the people with numeric tattoos on their faces.
Once the instructions were largely given, Angel returned to the Wilderness of Dreams.
By then, Dororo was already gone, leaving only Nis alone in the loft.
Angel sensed a moment and discovered Dororo had gone offline, so he didn’t bother with him. He walked over to Nis and sat down across from him.
"Well, did Dororo help you find it?" Angel asked curiously as he saw Nis staring blankly at the slate.
Nis let out a light sigh and shook his head: "No."
"Oh? Dororo didn’t find it either?"
Nis nodded: "It’s not his fault."
Indeed, Dororo did not find a useful point, but this had nothing to do with Dororo’s prophetic ability. Identifying the point itself requires a mastery of the magic energy formula of the Soul Sect, and since Dororo hadn’t encountered the complex formulas of the Soul Sect, he couldn’t accurately find the point.
However, even though Dororo didn’t find the point, he provided a numerical range. Dororo had been in a daze earlier, studying this numerical range.
"If the point is truly within this numerical range, it would save me a great deal of effort."
