Leonard Churchill didn’t feel any hostility, instead he felt a strange sense of trust.
....
There were several older Lizardn in black robes in the temple, as if they had been waiting for a long ti.
Before Leonard and his companions could think too much, the captain who led them in introduced, "That is Clan Chief Morey and the elders of our Dragon Lizard Clan..."
Leonard glanced, the clan chief was of the Eighth Rank, and the elders were also Seventh and Eighth Rank.
Though none were of the Ninth Tier, compared to the sheer number of Dragon Lizard Clan, this proportion of top-tier experts was already quite impressive.
It seed this was indeed a leader eting, the Lizard Race hadn’t even bothered with basic arrangents.
Leonard and his group certainly didn’t mind.
Sophia Jones stepped forward and introduced herself using the common language of the Southern Continent.
The Lizardman nad Morey seed to have experienced the human world, being familiar with human aristocratic etiquette.
He returned the courtesy and introduced himself, inviting them to sit on stone benches before the altar, and praised their courage in attending.
After all, under normal circumstances, even if Sophia Jones and Barre Shepherd were strong, just a few of them coming here faced almost no chance of survival if ambushed.
Elder Morey was quite courteous: "Our Dragon Lizard Clan has no intention of clashing with your army, so we’ve invited your leadership to clear up so possible misunderstandings that haven’t been conveyed well through ssages..."
Sophia Jones listened quietly, nodding occasionally with official responses.
Upon reflecting, she realized these earth-cave Dragon Lizards intended neutrality, without planning on allowing passage.
While conversing face-to-face, their tone was indeed more courteous, yet they had never agreed to allow passage.
This left Sophia Jones puzzled; not allowing passage nor causing harm, what was their intention?
Leonard, standing nearby, was equally perplexed, having observed these Lizard elders and the surroundings without detecting any signs of conspiracy.
Instead, from the deanor of these old Lizardn, he detected a sense of curiosity?
They seed quite curious about these humans.
This left Leonard wondering what they intended to do.
After the conversation ended, Sophia Jones wasn’t inclined to waste ti, and spoke directly: "I harbor no intentions of causing difficulty for your clan, rely seeking passage through Dok Mountain Range. But Clan Chief Morey should be aware there are only two roads via the Abyss..."
Her tone carried the firmness of a General.
She wanted to directly see if they could gain passage.
Upon hearing this, Clan Chief Morey seed undecided, a peculiar expression crossed his face: "Well... this can be discussed later... however, beforehand, I must explain the reason for inviting your leadership here..."
With these words, Leonard and his companions all directed their attention.
Now, after the face-to-face interaction, they realized this negotiation seemingly wasn’t decided by the Lizard Clan Chief.
This piqued their curiosity; perhaps other forces were guiding the Lizard Race.
Morey didn’t give them long to ponder, straightforwardly said: "’Prophet’ wants to et you."
This statent brought imdiate silence to the scene.
....
Prophet?
Upon hearing this, Leonard narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he was unaware the Dragon Lizard Clan had a Prophet.
rely hearing this title seed to have imdiately unraveled the source of all mysteries to him.
It really was akin to Darcy’s earlier speculation, an unexpected situation arose.
Analyzing the circumstances, Leonard understood these words, it seed the Lizard Race’s Prophet had foreseen sothing of the future, leading to this leadership eting.
In human classic books, the common explanation for Prophets is: individuals who comprehend the operational rules of universal entities.
They typically possess abilities in prophecy, divination, spirit vision, spirit communication, weaving destiny... and other transcendent abilities exceeding normal human perception.
Now having glimpsed the Rule Power of Universe Rules, Leonard gained a relatively accurate understanding of the Prophet’s capabilities in this transcendent profession.
If one considers the tiline of past, present, and future as a book, then the essence of prophecy is akin to temporarily elevating certain characters from the book, allowing a glimpse into past and future through the perspective of a reader.
Such glimpses are mostly vague fragnts, like foreseeing a future flood, disaster, or plague... among other occurrences.
Yet these are sufficient for making corresponding decisions.
Leonard suddenly realized so scenes in the "Prophet’s" prophecy might be related to him.
Prophecies are often influenced by environnt and other factors.
Before Leonard’s arrival, this Lizard Race maintained strict neutrality, but upon his arrival, they extended an invitation.
Certainly, this wasn’t a coincidence.
anwhile, Sophia Jones and Barre Shepherd couldn’t ascertain what these Lizardn intended.
The three exchanged glances, sharing a mutual thought.
Since they were already here, regardless of the situation, they naturally had to take a look.
