Chapter 19 On the Thread of Destiny

When the Achaean army defeated the Alfios River, the Turmatsu Stone gave him a reminder, Justinian, which made Anastasius' heart sink. Every time the name displayed on this stone means that it is the source of disaster. If disaster is compared to a storm, then Justinian is at the center of the storm at this moment, and everyone is doomed wherever they pass.

This is why Grand Duke Anastasius went against the norm and interfered with the negotiations between the Morian nobles and Justinian. However, as of now, the Morian nobles could not resist the temptation, and it would not be a long-term solution to stop him. How could he not know Leosgros's secret actions, but Anastasius understood that his temporary prestige could not match the desires of the nobles. The past year, he was almost driven crazy by the pride of the Byzantine nobles. He could not tell them that he had a turquoise gem that could divine good and bad luck!

What made Anastasius even more uneasy was that no matter how he tried, the Turmatsu Rock never gave him any other tips, which was never before. Faced with the danger that might come at any time, the old man found himself at a loss.

"Is it really impossible to break something like fate?" Anastasius sighed slightly. Although people become more and more greedy for life as they grow older, he has lived long enough for him. This old man could have been out of the matter, just like again and again before, he chose to retreat and hide from the world and avoid the dangers again and again. But when the Latins invaded, Anastasius somehow wanted to fight against it. However, after he brought the nobles of Molia to Fort Wiscari, Anastasius felt that he was so naive. Just like the three goddesses of fate mentioned in ancient Greek myths, the youngest Croto was in charge of the future and the textile line of life, the second sister Laxis was responsible for maintaining the line of life, and the oldest Atlopos was responsible for death and cutting the line of life. Even the Heavenly Father Zeus could not disobey their arrangements. What's more, himself?

Suddenly, Anastasius remembered the feeling of going to the open-air theater in Constantinople in his childhood to watch "Oedipus" through the open-air theater of the civilian area in Constantinople. Seeing Oedipus fighting for his fate, he could not escape the curse of his father marrying his mother, and finally blinded his eyes and left Thebaid from then on. At that time, he was shocked and indignant about this, but now he also felt the powerlessness of his mood. In the direction and warning of the "oracle", each character tried to escape the preset ending of the "oracle" through actions. However, no matter how hard he tried to crack it, the ending of the "oracle" could not be changed. Isn't this the situation where Anastasius is now?

Unless he was in trouble again, Anastasius knew that if he did not make a decision, he would be in the end. But he still wanted to try again and again, although Anastasius could escape the danger, but also allowed this man to witness the empire from prosperity to collapse. This time the old man did not want to escape again.

And at this moment, a knock sounded outside the door, and it was the monks from the monastery knocking on the door.

"Dagong, someone is here to visit, I hope to see you."

"Didn't I say it! I don't want to see guests during this period." These days of hard work have made the old man exhausted and his old bones are about to fall apart. Therefore, Anastasius, who lives in seclusion in the monastery, refused everyone's visit. He had already instructed the priests of the monastery, why did they come to disturb him?

"The person who came claimed to be Governor Molia, and the young man said that you will definitely receive him." The priest of the monastery said helplessly, but the other party insisted on asking them and had to report it. This surprised Anastasius. He did not expect Justinian to come to him on his own initiative.

After pondering for a while, the old man finally nodded and said, "Okay, let him come in! I agree to see him." He himself had already made this plan. In fact, Grand Duke Anastasius was also very curious. This boy named Justinian was unknown before. How could he become the eye of the storm that destroyed the entire Moria?

After a while, under the guidance of the priest, a young man walked into the seclusion place of Grand Duke Anastasius, justinian who left the Duke of Leo's mansion.

"I'm glad to meet you, Grand Duke Anastasius." Justinian had already planned to visit this mysterious old man.

At this time, Anastasius also noticed that there was a man standing behind Justinian, and couldn't help but frown and said, "I'm very happy to see you, Justinian, but I seem to allow you to come in alone." But when he saw the appearance of the person behind Justinian, he was even more surprised.

"Nikifruce, why are you here?"

He had also heard of Nicky Fruz's disappearance two days ago. Although he was just a lower-class nobleman and Anastasius didn't care, his appearance next to Justinian immediately made Anastasius realize that things were probably not that simple. Nicky Fruz had a pale face and looked frightened, which made Anastasius even more confused.

The other party's reaction was also expected by Justinian. After much thought, he finally decided to cooperate with the old man in front of him. What George Border Bell did last night was undoubtedly preparing for a plan, and he no longer had time to waste it here. The power-hungry Leosgros was definitely not a suitable partner. But this Grand Duke Anastasius may be the only person in this castle who can be trusted. Although the other party had a fragment of the Ark of the Covenant that Justinian was very afraid of before, he decided to take the risk to try to cooperate with the other party.

"Nikifruth, you can tell the Lord Lord what you saw at Water Gate last night. Otherwise, even I can't guarantee you to be thorough." Justinian looked at Nikifruth in front of him and said indifferently, but this sentence directly touched Nikifruth's heart. He remembered the terrifying scene that happened last night. He almost died in the hands of the Assassin Assassins. The man couldn't help but tremble.
