Chapter 153 You Have No Chance To Win(1/2)

Korra is full of confusion, and she really doesn't know what kind of medicine she is selling in the gourd.

If the mystery of Kaya and Eve is due to personal reasons and she is unwilling to talk more, Korra seems to have a greater motivation, as if she is on a mission. Perrenli is not sure if the Korra he knows is

The real her, or a staged character.

In short, we know too little at the moment, so we can only take one step at a time, and while trying to figure out how to deal with it, it is best to find out her details.

Pei Renli opened the tent door and stepped in. The light inside the tent was very dim, and there was a thin layer of smoke floating in the air.

Korra did not come in and said, 'Only one person can enter the divination at a time.' This made Pei Renli wary, especially when he smelled the faint scent of sandalwood in the smoke, and felt that he might be tricked.

So he quietly used his telepathic connection to tell Ravna, who was hiding in the shadow, to be more careful, and then continued walking in with a confused expression that was not entirely fake.

Passing around the screen facing the door, and lifting the thick rolled curtain, the first thing that comes into view is a long mahogany oval table.

It was placed horizontally in the center, with silver candlesticks poking at the left and right ends, and some thick beige candles with flickering flames.

On the right side, you can see something similar to a small incense burner, which is emitting white smoke like a humidifier turned to the highest setting. The smoke and sandalwood fragrance you just saw came from there.

Under the cover of smoke and dim light, Pei Renli noticed a person sitting behind the table.

This person's whole body was covered by a thick gray-blue burqa. It was difficult to tell whether he was a human being, not to mention his gender.

He looks relatively short, probably only 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall. Under the shadow of the hood, only a pair of slightly shining eyes can be seen with the help of weak lighting.

When he noticed Pei Renli coming in, the man raised his head slightly. He might have something like a scarf on his face, but he still couldn't see his face clearly.

But Pei Renli noticed a golden necklace with a ruby ​​hanging around his neck. Even in the dim light, the ruby ​​still gave off a light rotating like a galaxy.

Even without detecting magic, Pei Renli was convinced that it was a magic item, which made him even more vigilant.

"Please take a seat."

Her voice was hoarse, like that of an old woman. It seemed that she was an old lady with a stooped stature.

Pei Renli was not polite. He pulled out his chair and sat down across from the long table. He kept thinking about the other party's purpose and how he should deal with these details.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while, and the two sides just sat face to face without saying anything. Until several seconds passed, the other party may not be able to bear it anymore and asked:

"What do you want to divine?"

This was what Pei Renli was waiting for.

"Sorry, I was forced to come here by a friend. Actually, I don't know what to divine. Do you have any suggestions?"

I continued to make an incomprehensible gesture. No matter what the relationship between this person and Korra was, in short, I was pretending to be confused.

"You can learn a lot from me, Mr. Perrenley."

"You know my name?"

Pei Renli responded in a surprised tone, which was a very good performance.

"Of course, I also know that you are the new Demon King."

This guy is indeed related to Korra.

I have always suspected that there is an organization behind Korra. After all, the premise of setting a trap for Perenli in the ruins of the god-killing demon king Balam is that only the demon king can open this information in the room where the legacy is stored. Such a secret

The power of one person alone is extremely limited.

If this person and Korra belong to the same organization, what is the purpose of their sudden contact with me?

There were a lot of calculations in his mind, but Pei Renli responded quickly. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he immediately frowned seriously:

"Are you Korra's friend? Please don't make such jokes."

No matter how clear you are in what you say, there is no real evidence anyway. Pei Renli refuted it with the concept of "I am not, I don't have it, don't talk nonsense".

"What? You're not the Demon King?!"

As soon as Pei Renli finished speaking, he heard another voice. It was completely different from the voice he had just talked to, but the source of the voice seemed to come from the person in front of him.

"Calm down, Mogu, my information is correct."

"But there are many doubts about your intelligence. If you really find a mistake..."

It seemed that the person wearing a burqa was asking questions and answering questions. She made a wait gesture towards Pei Renli. Unexpectedly, the skin of her hands was white and delicate. She didn't look like an old man at all, but more like a ten-year-old man.

The hands of a multi-year-old girl.

Then Pei Renli saw her take off the ruby ​​necklace around her neck and put it on her wrist, turning it back and forth as if she was hysterical, and dancing like a windmill.

"Stop! Stop! I'm dizzy!"

"I told you to calm down! Stop interrupting."

"I know, stop it!"

After hearing that the other party, or the ruby ​​necklace, was convinced, she placed the necklace firmly on the table and raised her chin with both hands towards Pei Renli.

"I'm sorry, we don't have the same opinions."

A talking ruby ​​necklace, is this rare in the wizarding world?

True, but not unheard of.

Some weapons are also conscious. When you talk to them, you will find that they are not much different from normal people. Such conscious weapons will even grow in conjunction with the user's abilities. They are extremely rare magic items.

"Let's get back to business."

The strange woman coughed lightly, tried to turn over the previous article, and continued:

"What do you want to divine?"

Perrenli was still wondering whether it was a truly conscious magic item or a farce made with ventriloquism. Hearing this, he replied in an impatient tone:

"What can you divine?"

"To be precise, we are not good at divination of the future, but we can tell you a lot about what has happened in the past."

"Is this the punishment you and Korra agreed upon?"

Seeing that Pei Renli was still pretending to be confused, the man continued:

"You are not a native of this plane, right?"

The ruby ​​necklace also echoed:

"Your name is too rare. As far as I know, this kind of naming custom does not exist in this plane."

Most people only think that Pei Renli's name is strange, but they don't think much about it. After all, there are all kinds of weirdos among adventurers.

But if you are a well-informed and knowledgeable guy, you will know right away that Pei Renli is a time traveler.

"I didn't intend to hide it, is this weird?"

Although it is a secret that I am a time traveler, it is not a secret that cannot be told.

Because time travelers are called plane travelers in the multiverse world, they are rare but not uncommon.

Even if Pei Renli confesses to a friend that I actually come from another world, the other person will most likely be surprised and say, "Oh," and that's it.

"Judging from the number of plane travelers, your existence is very common, but in terms of the proportion of travelers from the earth among plane travelers, you are very rare."

Who are these guys!?

As mentioned just now, plane travelers are rare but not rare. Even if Perrenli tells others about the earth clearly, they will only think of it as a certain plane.

But we need to understand a definition: the distant universe and the earth are not two planes, but two completely different worlds.

Pei Renli narrowed his eyes slightly. Anyone who is familiar with him knows that when such small movements occur, it means that he is in a very unhappy mood. His fingers have already drawn runes under the table, ready to take action at any time.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the other party continued:

"We have no ill intentions towards you, and we are even helpful to you."

"I just thought it was a bad prank."

"Some of my kind are interested in playing pranks, but I have no such interest."

The other party retorted and said:

"Pei Renli, you must have realized that your situation is very dangerous."

"Please don't be alarmist."

"This is not alarmist, but a professional judgment based on intelligence. You don't know the mission of being sent to the multiverse world, you don't know the power you possess, and you don't know what enemies you will face."

She pointed at her barren chest with her finger:

"But I know, we know."

It's obvious that they do know a lot of stuff.

The other party has already adopted the attitude of a complete showdown, not being secretive but straightforward.

So, will Pei Renli follow suit?

"If you keep saying these incomprehensible things, I won't give you money."

No matter what you say, I just want to cover up the confusion to the end.

The other party was not angry because of Pei Renli's attitude, but changed his tone and said:
To be continued...
