Chapter 998 Crime and Punishment (Part 1)
Can't you use your precognition magic to predict who is the most suitable person for this set of translations? "Su Cheng asked.
"Didn't I tell you before? My prediction magic is not omnipotent. It cannot predict everything. There are many things that I can only predict roughly, but I cannot predict the specific details of the matter."
Speaking of this, Liya paused for a moment, and then continued:
"And - in recent years, my prediction magic has failed. I can no longer predict many things."
"Invalid? What's going on?"
"Part of the reason why I spent more than a year looking for my old friend was to ask her this question."
"According to her explanation: When the future of something or someone is highly variable, there is no way to predict it."
"So...there are a lot of variables..." Su Cheng said thoughtfully, "Then...Liya, can you predict the final outcome of this war between the Britannia Empire and the Frank Empire? ?”
After hearing Su Cheng's question, Liya was stunned for a moment.
Then he said with a look of helplessness:
"I'm sorry, I couldn't predict the final outcome of the war between the Britannian Empire and the Frankish Empire."
"Is that so..." Su Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile, "That means - the current battle between our country and the Frank Empire is very variable, right?"
"...Exactly." Liya nodded.
Su Cheng sighed softly:
"I'm getting more and more worried now..."
Liya keenly noticed that Su Cheng's mood became even lower, so she hurriedly said:
"Okay, don't think about it so much. It's useless for you to worry here. Let's do something happy."
After saying that, Liya took out a set of Tekun cards from her pocket.
"I'm addicted to cards. Let's play some games after a long time, shall we?"
"Tequin cards..."
Su Cheng smiled helplessly and said,
Then he pushed away all the translations piled on the table and cleared a clean table.
"Come on then, I just did some happy things to regulate my mood. But before I say that - don't make too much noise while playing cards. My sister is still at home. If my sister finds out that I am following the same guy, Unknown women playing cards, I can’t believe the consequences.”
"Okay, okay, don't worry about this. In fact, since I sneaked into your room through your window, I have cast a magic on your room. The movement inside the room cannot be transmitted outside, and the people outside the room can't be heard." Movements can still be heard inside the house.”
"...Magic is really a useful thing. I want to learn some useful magic tricks from you."
"I advise you to give up the idea of learning magic as soon as possible. Whether you can learn it or not will be another matter. Even if you can learn it, I will not teach you. Magic is still the same. It’s better to let it die.”

…
Britannia Empire, somewhere on the border.
Since the official launch of the army, the army led by Ilsa has been marching non-stop along the straight roads extending in all directions in the country to the Rhineland Plain.
With that high morale, the army marched very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was only half the distance to the Rhineland Plain.
And the news of Ilsa's personal expedition has now spread throughout the entire continent at an extremely fast speed.
Even Emperor Shade of the Frankish Empire already knew that the Emperor of the Britannia Empire was personally on the expedition.
It was late at night, and the army's tents covered the entire wilderness, and stars and lights were dotted throughout the military camp.
There are patrols and sentries both inside and outside the camp. Although they are still far away from the frontline battlefield, the soldiers on these patrols and sentries still perform their respective duties meticulously.
At this time, in the military camp, there was a strange patrol team walking around in the camp.
The leader of this strange patrol is a sturdy knight wearing a black knight's sword.
The other patrols were checking to see if any enemies were approaching and if there were any enemy spies in the camp.
The patrol led by this sturdy knight was monitoring whether other patrols and soldiers on guard were performing their patrol or guard duties properly.
A few soldiers recognized the identity of this sturdy knight, and hurriedly stood still. While saluting the military salute, they whispered:
"Captain."
At night, noise is strictly prohibited in the military camp.
Therefore, soldiers who patrol and stand guard at night only need to say hello in a low voice when they see their superiors. If they say hello too loudly, they will be punished.
This sturdy knight who is leading a dozen soldiers to patrol around the camp is none other than Allen, the leader of the Uriel Knights.
From time to time, he led his guards to patrol around the military camp to check whether the soldiers patrolling and standing guard were performing their duties well - this was also one of Allen's strengths.
Thanks to Allen's advantage, the generals under his command have always been under great pressure. In order not to be discovered by Allen who appeared at some point and were lazy, the generals could only work hard to perform their tasks and did not dare to steal anything. lazy.
After walking around the military camp, Allen nodded with satisfaction.
Allen was very satisfied with the results of today's inspection. He walked around the military camp and found no one slacking there.
Just when Allen was about to take his guards back to the tent where he lived, a clear bird call suddenly came.
It was the call of a nightingale.
Allen and others were just outside the military camp at this time. Judging from the call of the nightingale, the call of the nightingale came from a forest somewhere outside the camp.
After hearing the clear call of the nightingale, the guards walking behind Allen began to whisper.
"It's the call of the nightingale... It's so beautiful."
"It's so clear."
"I suddenly remembered the time when I was hunting birds every day in my hometown in the countryside."
...
At this time, these guards did not notice that Allen's expression became strange after the clear call of the nightingale.
However, the strange look on Allen's face did not last long. It appeared for a moment and then disappeared immediately.
Allen turned around and said to the guards behind him:
"You go back first. I plan to go outside the camp to get some fresh air by myself."
As soon as Allen finished speaking, the leader of the guards immediately said:
"Understood."
Then, the dozen guards lined up in a neat team and returned the same way.
After the guards had gone far away, Allen strode out of the camp.
While walking out of the camp, Allen was always very alert to his back and sides to prevent himself from being followed or discovered by others.
Allen carefully came to a certain forest outside the camp.
And that forest happened to be the origin of the nightingale's cry just now.
After entering the forest, a familiar male voice with a bit of teasing sounded above Allen's head:
"It's been a long time since we last met, Allen. It's great that you still remember the code between us."
