People in Terra, governing a weird little country

"Ernst's meaning is very clear. He does not need your crown to prove its value. Instead, your crown needs him to be valuable."

"You yourself should understand this simple truth."

Elki looked at "Lafshini" and was speechless for a moment.

Just like "she" said, it's true.

Does the Cyclops need this crown?

No need.

As the lord of the royal court, the high priest was very cunning. He knew that whether there was a crown or not, the royal court was still the royal court, and the high priest was still the high priest. This would not change. Ernst was an outsider after all. Although his various special features had formed a consensus among the Cyclops, this could not completely affect the independence of the "Sarkaz Tribe" of the Cyclops, nor could it affect the status of the high priest.

On this basis, handing the crown to Ernst only requires a "pledge of allegiance" in exchange for the protection of the entire Cyclops race by the "man with unpredictable fate". This is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

Elki was aware of this, but she did not object to it.

After all, although this is the truth, the loyalty of the Cyclops is still an attractive gift to 99% of the people on Terra.

Who doesn’t want to see the trajectory of fate? If the Cyclops publicly announced that he was willing to predict the future for others, the number of people heading to Sami the next day would probably be greater than the local population of Sami!

Especially those dignitaries, not all of them know that the Cyclops' foresight often only sees tragedy. To put it another way, even if they know, there will definitely be many people who are willing to spend a fortune to watch a tragedy!

Therefore, for most people, even if they know the Cyclops's plan, this is still a win-win deal with no loss.

But Ernst was different. Ernst had no such need.

For he does not need the foresight of the Cyclops. He will not be glorified by the crown on his head, but the crown of the Cyclops will be glorious when it is worn on the head of a man whose fate cannot be predicted.

Not many people can realize this. Elki frowned and looked at the girl in front of him whose chest was faintly glowing red but without any temperature. He blurted out a question:

"who are you?"

The shapeshifters shed their disguises and revealed their true forms:

"Shaper Cluster. We are here to seek answers to our questions."

Shapeshifter Cluster!

No Sarkaz would be unfamiliar with this name, a cluster of shapeshifters, a royal court of one person, the most special Sarkaz, an existence that is independent of all souls.

No wonder, no wonder he made such an evaluation and could see through the high priest's thoughts at a glance.

If he had already pledged allegiance to Ernst, then Ernst, who already had a royal court, would naturally not have such great interest in a second royal court.

"We know what you're thinking, Cyclops."

The Shapeshifter Cluster continued,

"We can generously tell you that the Cyclops's vision is still too narrow."

"In Kjerag, the court that has gathered now includes liches, banshees, stonewing demons, shapeshifters, and fire demons. And all of the above have joined Ernst's 'court'."

"Residents' Committee!" Ernst emphasized stubbornly, rubbing his aching head.

The shapeshifter nodded, "Yes, the residents' committee."

"Even if you Cyclops were ranked, you would only be ranked sixth."

Elqi opened his mouth wide, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

How much?

Have I accidentally traveled back in time? Is this the Far Drifter era, or the Quillon era?

If someone else told Elki that we, a non-Sarkaz country, already had five members of the Royal Court stationed there, Elki wouldn't even need to use his foresight to immediately diagnose that the other party must have been infected by evil spirits and had cognitive impairment.

But since the person who said this is a Lord of the Royal Court, and the Lord of the most ancient Royal Court at that, the value of this sentence is completely different.

Elki was almost speechless. On the other side, Ernst was almost speechless too.

The sudden outrageous remarks made by the Shapeshifter Cluster nearly fried his CPU, and he almost cried out "Huh" too.

What do you mean? What are you implying?

I've said it many times, Kjerag has no royal court, only Sarkaz citizens! What you said is like you are hinting to Elki that Ernst Shivaash, who has gathered five royal courts, is already the "fake emperor" and "regent" of the Sarkaz!

Need a Cyclops to improve the gold content? Wrong!

The Cyclops King's Court actually refused to join Kjerag, could it be that they were plotting a rebellion? !

Look at what's going on here!

In order to prevent the Shapeshifter Cluster from saying anything more horrible, Ernst made up his mind and quickly skipped the topic:

"Well, anyway, Ms. Elki, I personally will not accept your gift, but Shelag is willing to open the door to all peace-loving Sarkaz, and the Sarkaz Residents' Committee will also provide suitable positions for talented people like you, so we welcome you and more Cyclops to join us at any time."

Elki nodded:

"I understand."

The development of the matter obviously exceeded her expectations. If nothing unexpected happened, it should also have exceeded the expectations of the high priest. Elki actually wanted to agree immediately. After all, the sixth place sounded good, at least not the tenth. But this matter obviously required her to write a letter and send it back to the royal court to seek the opinion of the high priest.

However, this process will definitely not take too long.

After all, the Cyclops tribe is already on the way to migration.

The attraction of the Cyclops to people whose fate is unpredictable is absolute, and they will come to Kjerag no matter what. And what the high priest does is nothing more than fulfilling his duties as a leader of a tribe, trying to gain a more transcendent status for the Cyclops in this way.

Since other royal courts have already recognized Ernst, the Cyclops, as a group that needs Ernst more, obviously has no reason to insist on being a tsundere female imp.

While waiting for a reply, she would stay in Kjerag.

After receiving Elki's response, Ernst did not give the Shapeshifters room to continue the conversation and immediately started the next topic:

"Now let's talk about the next topic."

Ernst pointed at the shapeshifter next to him:

"The Shapeshifter Cluster wants to see you."

The shapeshifters nodded and took a step forward. Their expressions remained indifferent, but a hint of expectation appeared in their eyes.

"We want to see our destiny."

Chapter 491: You were told to die by the witch

Ernst's office in the Kjerag Government Building, Tukarim, Kjerag.

"We want to see our destiny."

The shapeshifter cluster said seriously.

For some reason, after hearing this request, Elki felt a little relieved.

She was afraid that the Shapeshifters would say something like, "Fellow countryman, lend me your head so I can collect the reward from Ernst." That would be bad luck for her. Not to mention that she couldn't beat the Shapeshifters, they were the Lord of the Royal Court. Even if she added Typhon multiplied by ten, they would still not be his opponent!

And taking a peek at fate and the like was much easier and safer for Elki.

She was even a little relieved: Ernst's fate could not be observed, Typhon said that he "didn't want to see the foresight", and the Cyclops predicted his own fate and always unlocked different ways of death for him. Now, there was finally someone who was interested in their "foresight".

If you don’t know, you might think that the Cyclops has been retired!

Elki took a deep breath and said politely:

"Master Shapeshifter, the Cyclops has a rule that we cannot use Farsight to observe outsiders easily."

"Really?" The Shapeshifter Cluster frowned, "So, you treat us as outsiders, right?"

Right...right?

What you are asking is, aren't the Shapeshifter Cluster outsiders?

Elki didn't quite understand what the Shapeshifters meant. The Cyclops King's Court had been away from Kazdel for thousands of years, and their relationship with the Sarkaz couldn't be said to be peaceful, but at least it could be said that they had no ties with each other. Not to mention Elki, it was still a question whether this generation of Cyclops High Priest had seen a Shapeshifter Cluster. If you're not a stranger, what are you?

"If that's the case, I can transform into the form you're familiar with."

The Shapeshifters said calmly, shifting their gaze from Elki to Typhon.

Elki waved his hand quickly:

"No need!"

No need!

Elki had never thought that the shapeshifters could perform such an operation. Although strictly speaking, when the shapeshifters were camouflaged, they did not need to kill the person being disguised, such as when they were disguised as Ravshini. But most of the time, in order to avoid the disguise being exposed and unknown accidents during infiltration, he would ensure in advance that the person being disguised "would never appear in a place where he shouldn't appear".

It could be kidnapping, imprisonment, or of course simple killing and swallowing.

Elki didn't dare to gamble his professional ethics against the humanity of the Shapeshifter Cluster, the most ancient Lord of the Royal Court.

After all, he is a real heavyweight. Although the Lords of the Royal Court seem to be more civilized now, the King of Scavengers looks like an amiable old man when he is not fighting, and the former Banshee Lord Lamaren is even more elegant and mysterious. Even the Blood Demon Lord is imitating the behavior of Victoria and the nobles of Leitania, and looks like a beauty when he is not crazy. But they were not like this before.

The Shapeshifters are people who came from that "not very civilized" era. When the blood demon drained the blood of a legion for fun, he was there. When the banshee flew in the sky, harvesting souls and skulls, he was also there. What good do you expect from him?

"I will open your vision for you right now."

After Elki made a promise, the Shapeshifters withdrew their gaze from Typhon and nodded.

Ernst also came over and looked at Elki curiously.

He was also very interested in how the Cyclops's [Foresight] was activated.

Elqi closed her eyes, and at the same time, the "eye of heaven" on her head, which was always half-open and half-closed, began to slowly open. A light blue light shone from the eye, outlining runes in the air that Ernst could not understand.

If he had to describe it, it was like the feeling of light lighting up in the computer case when a desktop computer is turned on.

However, before he could understand it, or ask the shapeshifter cluster for help in understanding the meaning of the runes in the air, the eye on Elki's forehead closed again, and then opened her light gray pupils, which were always filled with an indelible sadness.

"it's over?"

Ernst was stunned, somewhat unbelievable.

But Elki did nod: "It's over, Mr. Ernst."

Ernst was speechless for a moment. So fast?

He thought that "prophecy" was a high-end and mysterious spell in any game, either at the beginning as the beginning of everything or at the end as the conclusion of everything, so it should be a grand scene!

He was ready to appreciate the five-colored auspicious clouds and the seven-colored rays of light in the office, and then listen to a mysterious riddle!

Perhaps seeing Ernst's surprise, the Cyclops smiled slightly and started the Cyclops rumor-busting class:

"It is true that some people often misunderstand the ability of the Cyclops, but in fact, [Foresight] is not mysterious, at least not as mysterious as many people imagine."

"The Sami sky occasionally has an aurora at night, but that's not because we're casting some giant prophecy spell to peer into Terra's fate."

"The Sami Snow Divination takes a completely different approach. They rely on the foresight of the ancestral father [Sami], which is fundamentally different from us. It is not that we have passed on the skills of [foresight] to them."

"Foresight doesn't last that long. After all, we are used to using it in our daily lives to seek benefits and avoid harm. If we are about to slip and fall in the next second, and it takes too long to activate it, by the time we see the scene of the fall, our feet have already stepped on the ice, then what is the point of this foresight?"

Ernst nodded, not quite understanding.

That makes sense. As a practical racial talent, being too fancy is not good for the Cyclops.

"Then what did you see?"

the swarm of shapeshifters demanded.

Elki's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and did not speak immediately.

It was not because she didn't want to say it, nor because she didn't see anything. In fact, she did see something. To be precise, she saw the "cause of death" of the shapeshifter in front of her.

But...

"Do you really want to hear it?" There was a hint of helplessness in Elki's voice.

The shapeshifter cluster frowned slightly and nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, that's why we are here."

"OK then."

Elki sighed, considered his words, and then tactfully stated what he saw in the Vision:

"Master Shapeshifter, you died at the words of the Banshee Lord."

"The words of the banshee?"

For the first time, a trace of astonishment flashed across the faces of the shapeshifters.

After more than ten thousand years, he had long been accustomed to being calm about everything, but now, after hearing the news of how his life, which had no end in sight, would "die", he still felt excited... and confused.

During these ten thousand years, he had met the master of the Banshee Court. Although the Sarkaz didn't like this old guy very much, wouldn't this be more conducive for the Shapeshifter cluster to die?

He once angered the Scavenger and tried to drain his life force, but even the Scavenger said that his "Shaper Special Burger" was simply unpalatable and filling. After eating it for three days and three nights, he shouted "I'm full!"

He also provoked the lich, trying to let the lich find a way to kill him from their vast treasure trove of knowledge, but the shapeshifter has not died yet, so how can the lich search for an unsolvable problem in the classics?
