Chapter 579 - Maya
Angor freed Dodoro from his bracelet and used his Gondola to head to Maya’s residence while following Sunders’ guidance.
Similar to last time, Dodoro stayed quiet inside the cabin at the back of the boat, while Angor and Sunders stayed at the front.
Angor felt a bit anxious about meeting a true prophet. He kept glancing at his strange hand and wasn’t sure what would happen to him later.
“How-how do prophets work their magic, sir?” Angor tried to say something just to ease his mood.
“Most prophets refer to themselves as ‘Bearers of Fate’. They can completely see through you, everything, should they wish to.”
Angor frowned. “So, we won’t be able to keep anything private from prophets? And the other wizards are fine with this?”
“It’s more difficult to see the fate of someone strong. Also, the one being inspected by a prophet will easily notice it. Prophets usually do not peek at people’s secrets without a reason. There is something else. Each time a prophet attempts to read fate, either their own fate or that of someone else’s, they might suffer a ‘backfire’.”
“You get a backfire by reading fate?”
This guy got a strange temper, but he’s not dangerous. Just… I hope Dodoro won’t learn his characteristics.
Soon, they left the forest and arrived at a giant tower-like structure.
“Professor is waiting on the top floor. Please come with me.”
When they finally met with Maya, Angor’s first impression was that the witch looked extremely short and weak.
Thud, thud…
Maya was currently walking around the projection of a star map while tapping on the floor with her walking cane. Her steps appeared extremely unstable as if she were going to collapse at any moment.
Angor waited for a while before Maya finished “stargazing” and looked at them.
Using her gleaming eyes, which showed none other than great wisdom, she slowly scanned through everyone before finally fixing her gaze upon Sunders.
“A brilliant future you have there, Mister Phantom. The fate has blessed you with an eventful yet fruitful morrow.”
Her voice was slow and gentle, yet persuasive.
“Instead of checking this tedious life of mine, I think you should pay more attention to someone else here.” Sunders smiled.
Also slowly, Maya gazed upon Angor while her eyes radiated a dim glimmer.
