Chapter 302 Back Then

Mr. Doom has always believed that there can be death penalty in this world, but death penalty cannot have other uses other than punishment and warning.

When a country starts to use death row prisoners to build the gate of hell, the next step is to use serious criminals, then ordinary criminals, and finally just find anyone to be a criminal.

The bottom line is broken step by step, and once it starts, it cannot be turned back.

Mr. Doom could not accept this behavior, so he disrupted several criminal sacrifice operations-killing all the death row prisoners before the sacrifice.

But it was precisely because of this behavior that he became a wanted criminal in the Kingdom of Unholy Songs.

However, for a legendary prophecy mage, if he does not want to be caught, he will not be caught.

This time he appeared in front of people entirely for Harvey.

After listening to Mr. Doom's explanation, Harvey also lamented the cruelty of war.

If it were not for Ryan's step-by-step pressure, Tiefling would not have to do this.

After understanding this, Harvey took the initiative to say goodbye. He needed to inform his teacher of Mr. Doom's message as soon as possible.

But just as Harvey was about to leave, Mr. Doom called him again: "Wait, take this with you."

Mr. Doom handed Harvey a metal coin. It was unknown what material the coin was made of. It didn't look like ordinary steel, but it didn't have any magical effects. It looked like a simple craft, and the workmanship was not very fine. It looked like a cheap product.

Harvey asked curiously: "Excuse me, what is this coin?"

Mr. Doom said with emotion: "The bet I made with your teacher back then, take it back to him, he will understand what I mean."

Harvey quickly put the coin away and said goodbye again.

This time, Mr. Doom didn't stop him again.

Harvey left the small house and walked directly towards the teleportation array.

It was obviously a heavily guarded military stronghold, but Harvey just walked in straight away without being discovered by anyone.

Those eyes looking at Harvey were either fascinated by the wind and sand or covered by bird shit. Anyway, all kinds of strange things happened, which made Harvey disappear in everyone's eyes.

Harvey looked at the tieflings and could vaguely see many traces of transparent silk threads.

Harvey reached out and fiddled with the threads, but felt nothing, as if it was an illusion.

"The power of fate is really magical."

Harvey sighed, walked into the teleportation array, adjusted the teleportation direction without anyone seeing it, and then returned to the desert.

Harvey did not dare to be negligent, and returned to the underground factory as quickly as possible, and found Amber Xiu who was reading the information.

Catherine had recorded the behavior of the drow elves in recent days in great detail. Amber Xiu looked at it and figured out many ways to "educate" the drow elves, but it would take some time to do it slowly.

Seeing Harvey coming back, Amber Xiu said strangely: "You came back so soon? He has been waiting for you, right?"

Harvey smiled and said: "Teacher guessed right, I just arrived at the tiefling territory, and Mr. Doom was waiting for me."

Amber Xiu couldn't help but complain: "Mr. Doom... This old guy is quite childish. He uses such a childish name at his age."

"Childish?"

Harvey didn't think there was anything wrong. There was nothing wrong with a legendary prophecy mage calling himself Mr. Doom.

Amber Xiu didn't explain, and asked directly: "What did he ask you to bring back? Is it a verbal message or a handwritten letter?"

Harvey said quickly: "Mr. Doom asked me to bring a verbal message, saying that if you go to him in two months and three days, you can get what you want, teacher. In addition to the verbal message, there are these two things."

Harvey took out the slate and coin and handed them to Amber Xiu.

Amber Xiu looked at the two things in front of him, as if he was still, and didn't move for a long time.

Harvey waited quietly by the side. After ten minutes, Amberxiu recovered from his memories.

Amberxiu handed the slate to Harvey and said, "Take the slate. This is not for me, but for you."

Harvey said strangely, "Ah? What on earth is this slate?"

Amberxiu said calmly, "I picked up this slate with him back then, and then we became prophecy mages."

"This... is such an important thing? But I can't see anything."

"Of course, because this slate is originally a very ordinary thing." Amberxiu said with emotion, "What really made us two prophecy mages was not this slate, but the moment when this slate appeared.

"At a certain moment in life, encountering something, and then a major turning point in life, the key is not this slate, but me and him at that time. This thing is a token, which means that the old guy wants to take you as a student. Giving it to me is just asking if I agree. "

Harvey was shocked and said quickly, "Teacher, I haven't thought about this. "

"Don't worry, it's normal for a student to have multiple teachers. I've had more than a dozen teachers in my life. There's no rule that says a person can only have one teacher in their lifetime."

Harvey said strangely: "In this case, it refers to different fields, right?"

A person can learn carpentry from a carpenter, learn ironwork from a blacksmith, and both can be apprentices, but if there are two teachers for the same job, it will be considered a moral issue.

Amber Xiu and Mr. Doom are both prophecy mages. If Harvey also becomes Mr. Doom's student, then Harvey's reputation will be very bad.

"Don't worry about this. Do you know how rare prophecy mages are? Counting my senior brother and you, I have seen less than ten prophecy mages in my life."

Amber Xiu is also a well-informed person, and he has lived for hundreds of years, but he has seen less than ten people in the same industry, which shows how rare this profession is.

This is not surprising. The difficulty of getting started as a prophecy mage is unimaginable.

If you can't understand something like fate, you can't understand it. It's useless to teach it. Just like some people can't understand that 0.999... is equal to 1, then there is no way to talk about deeper things.

Harvey is very talented. In Amber's opinion, as long as he is not killed by others, Harvey's achievements in the profession of prophecy mage will far exceed his own. With his extraordinary talent and the scarcity of prophecy mages, it is normal for the old guy to want to accept him as an apprentice.

"The old guy should have taught you a lot, right?" Amber asked.

Harvey nodded. After seeing the thread of fate, he vaguely mastered this power... No, it should be said that he understood another way to use the power of fate.

Amber did not ask further, but just warned Harvey: "Don't be greedy, don't mess around. The power of fate can be used, but it cannot be abused, otherwise it will really kill people. Now I can't save you."

Harvey smiled and said: "Teacher, don't worry, I have died once, I won't mess around."

"Apart from these, is there anything else?" Amber asked.

"Mr. Doom didn't say anything else, but he mentioned that the Tiefling Kingdom is now using criminals as sacrifices to prepare to build more Hell Gates to resist Ryan's invasion."

"Is the situation so serious?"

Amber did not expect the Tieflings to be so impulsive. This is a door that cannot be opened casually. If they continue on this path, they will soon collapse.

Harvey did not have any specific information, so he could only repeat Mr. Doom's words word for word.

"Okay, I know, you go and do your own thing. I will go to find the old guy in two months. You should be ready and go with me then." Amber said.

"I know, teacher." After Harvey agreed, he hesitated and said, "But I have another question."

"What question?"

"Back then, I wanted to know what you bet on."

Harvey was very curious. How do prophecy wizards bet? Predict each other's future?

When Amber heard Harvey's question, he rubbed the metal coin with his fingers and said, "He and I both took out a special item and hid it between each other. Whoever found the other's hidden item first won. He gave me the family emblem, and I gave him a special coin. I put his family emblem on the carriage that was leaving the city. It took this guy three days to finally catch up with the carriage, and then it took him another two days to come back to find me."

"How long did it take you, teacher?" Harvey asked curiously.

"Me? I didn't find it." Amber said frankly.

"Ah?"

Can you win if you don't find it? Harvey's mind was a little confused.

"That bastard threw the coin into the sea to win. I know he threw it in, but how can I get it out?" Amber said angrily.

"Ah this..."

Mr. Doom really wanted to win, but it was a bit unplayable.

"No, since you didn't find it, how did you win?" Harvey asked.

"Because I have two identical coins, I just took out this coin and said I fished it out of the sea, and he admitted defeat." Amber said.

Harvey: ...

It sounds like the teacher was ready to cheat from the beginning, too insidious.

"Didn't he think you had two coins?" Harvey asked.

Amber smiled and said, "Later he figured it out, but the bet was over by then. In this respect, he is just like you, always a step behind and not quick-witted. No wonder he wanted to take you as a student, you two are quite similar in this respect."

Harvey: ...

Why does this sound so unpleasant?

"Then what did you and Mr. Doom bet about in the first place?"

Two prophecy wizards who also comprehended the power of fate from the stone tablet, what a wonderful fate. If the two worked together, two legendary prophecy wizards... It's terrifying to think about it. In this way, the teacher wouldn't have to wander around for most of his life.

Amber Xiu said with emotion: "He was born into a noble family, belonging to the top tiefling family. He invited me to work for the whole world together, to use this power for everyone, and to repay the gift of fate. But I just wanted to make myself comfortable. We had a quarrel, and he made a bet with me in order to let me become a great man with him.

"Then, he lost."
