Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

4In the commander's tent, the bearded commander took a quick glance at the document in his hand, then turned his gaze to the figure before him.    

    

"Jean, Dalk, right..."    

    

Looking at the ridiculously strong figure in front of him, the bearded commander felt a toothache.    

    

Why is it here again...    

    

The bearded commander clearly remembered that this woman had already been here once last year. The last time, this woman had rushed over and said that she had seen some miracle. He also had to send someone to take her to Xinnon and discuss important matters with the crown prince... She was just a village girl from the countryside, what kind of major matters could she know?    

    

Alright, even if this woman really had a major matter, why did she still have to bear the title of Holy Maiden? Other than her hair and the layer of female clothing under her robe, which part of this woman looked like a woman? Her arms were thicker than his thighs, and this was also called Holy Maiden?    

    

It was more like a leftover woman that no one wanted.    

    

If it wasn't for Durand, who opened a tavern in town, protecting his life the last time, he would have ordered the arrows to shoot this unreasonable woman to death a long time ago.    

    

But this time, this woman ran back again.    

    

Moreover, she brought two people who were more useful than the old Durand's words to protect him.    

    

"Make way, beltron."    

    

The bearded commander called out to the two guards he had sent to guard the gate.    

    

"Did you really see her perform a miracle?"    

    

"I saw it! I saw it!"    

    

The two guards nodded in panic.    

    

"Master Robert! We really saw it! She really did have a miracle bestowed by an angel! "    

    

" Er... "    

    

The bearded commander who was called Robert pondered for a moment.    

    

Robert knew a little about the temperament of these two subordinates. Although these two people were not very useful, they were honest at heart and would not tell lies.    

    

Could it be that this woman could really display some kind of miracle?    

    

Stop joking, he would rather believe that pigs could climb trees.    

    

"Since you said that you can display a miracle, that's good."    

    

Looking at the strong woman in front of him, Robert waved his hand.    

    

"Come, show me."    

    

"En..."    

    

The strong woman in the cloak fell silent.    

    

...    

    

"Using the so-called miracle to gain the right to speak from the army is a good idea. It is also effective in avoiding the question of your low status causing people to speak softly... but have you ever thought about why they would believe the words you said about 'seeing an angel'? Can you really display the so-called 'miracle' for them to see?"    

    

"Mr. Gondor's analysis circled in her mind, causing cold sweat to form on Na's back.    

    

It was exactly the same as what "Mr. Gondor" had expected, and it was the worst-case scenario.    

    

The commanders here did not believe the documents issued by the priest at all.    

    

The other party only believed the truth in front of them.    

    

But... a miracle?    

    

What could she use to display a miracle?    

    

"No matter what happens, you can't show your fear on your face. Don't reveal any information from your expression. No matter if you're facing the enemy or your subordinates, if you really don't know what expression to make, then smile. Smile brighter. Smile could intimidate the enemy, encourage his subordinates... It can also confuse the people you communicate with... What's that saying again? If you reach out your hand, you won't hit a smiling person."    

    

Recalling the teachings of "Mr. Gondor," it made Na try her best to control her facial expression and display the most commonly used bright smile on her face.    

    

An appropriate smile could also increase one's intimacy with others. This was something she had learned before.    

    

But no matter how friendly Na's smile was, things that couldn't be escaped still couldn't be escaped.    

    

"What about the miracle?"    

    

Robert, who was waiting by the side, had an increasingly hostile look in his eyes.    

    

"Where's your divine miracle? Why did it not work? Or... "    

    

Robert pulled out the sharp sword from his waist.    

    

" Are you lying to me? "    

    

"God is guiding me on my path."    

    

As she spoke, she let Na use her peripheral vision to scan everything in the room.    

    

God's Miracle... God's Miracle... Divine... Hmm?    

    

Next to Robert, a sheepskin map appeared in front of Na's eyes.    

    

It was hard to tell when the parchment was made, but the ink was the latest ink, which meant that this map had only been sent out recently. On the map. There was some oil stains. However, one could see the traces that were frequently wiped.    

    

Na had learned how important maps were to the army. Since the other party frequently used this map, that meant...    

    

"Master Robert."    

    

Na pointed at the map beside Robert.    

    

"I can predict the outcome of a war for you."    

    

"Prophecy?"    

    

Robert seemed to have heard something funny.    

    

"You are talking about a prophecy? Do you know what will happen to you?"    

    

"This is the will of God."    

    

Na Na did not directly respond to Robert's question. Instead, she put her palms together and started praying.    

    

"Everything belongs to the glory of God."    

    

...    

    

"Since you've decided to pretend to be a fraud, then you must act thoroughly. Mysterious. The most bewitching thing about Fraud Tian is always the mystery. Don't give any explanation for your words. Just push everything onto God."    

    

The teachings of "Mr. Gondor" lingered in her mind, causing Na to open her eyes.    

    

"Let's begin, master Robert. Please give me the map."    

    

"Oh? God taught you to look at the map?"    

    

Robert sneered, but still took the map over.    

    

"Give it to me. Tell me."    

    

Robert didn't believe that any miracle would happen. She was just a country girl, what could she have... Ah, this country girl did not even know how to read a map.    

    

"You took it back."    

    

Robert revealed a mocking smile.    

    

"This is the north. We need to push the north up."    

    

However, na didn't pay any attention to Robert. She was still recalling the teachings of "Mr. Gondor."    

    

"When you are outside, try not to expose your information. Try not to pretend to be as stupid as you can. Try to maintain the image of a country bumpkin. Don't let others know that you have learned anything... What? What's the use of asking you to store these things? You'll know what's the use when you're in a life and death situation. "    

    

And now, na truly knew what the use of this disguise was.    

    

Reading such a simple map is like instinct to a well-read military strategist. During that crazy learning period, she remembered a lot of things, just to judge the direction of the war. For her... hmm?    

    

"This is..."    

    

Na pointed at a triangular symbol on the map in puzzlement.    

    

"What is this?"    

    

"Ha!"    

    

Robert showed a mocking expression.    

    

"Those are the reinforcements formed by the Scots. They are our powerful helpers in saving Orleans. What? Didn't God tell you what that means?"    

    

As he spoke, Robert narrowed his eyes.    

    

" Enough, liar. Put away your... "    

    

"The French Kingdom has lost."    

    

Before Robert could finish his words, na took the initiative to sigh.    

    

"This is the future that is about to happen."    

    

"Wh..."    

    

Robert was stunned.    

    

"How is this possible!? We have an army! We still have reinforcements! How is this possible..."    

    

How is this impossible?    

    

This caused Na to feel some disdain in her heart.    

    

To march and fight. The most taboo thing to do was to order many people out. Now that the French army was almost suppressed by the English Army, what ability did they have to command those unruly Scots?    

    

There would definitely be chaos at the front line.    

    

The English Army would definitely not let go of this opportunity.    

    

"This is the will of God."    

    

Letting Na put her palms together and continue to pray.    

    

"This is the future that is about to happen, it is unavoidable."    

    

"Liar!"    

    

Robert glared at Rena.    

    

"You are a liar!"    

    

"This is the will of God."    

    

This caused Na to have a pious expression.    

    

"God will not lie to you."    

4

    

"Drag him away!"    

    

Robert shouted.    

    

"Drag him down! Cut her down! Cut her down..."    

    

" Master Robert. "    

    

Not only was Na not afraid, she even took the initiative to take a step forward.    

    

"You don't want to accept the will of God. I have nothing to say. But... "    

    

Na pointed at the map beside Robert.    

    

" If it really happens, what do you want to do? "    

    

"I..."    

    

Robert fell into silence.    

    

Although he did not believe that such a thing would happen, if what he said was true...    

    

Could he bear the crime of killing Holy Maiden?    

    

This was not some nameless family that ran out of the wilderness. It was a person who had a letter from the local Church of Remi. If the other party had really succeeded in his prophecy and died in his hands...    

    

The church would definitely kill him.    

    

So...    

    

Brigadier General Robert returned to his desk and quickly wrote a document.    

    

"Here."    

    

Robert handed over the unfinished document.    

    

"The prophecy is a success. I will send you to Shinon. If the prophecy fails, you will die."    

    

Robert's eyes almost spat out flames.    

    

"Do you dare to sign?"    

    

"This is also the will of a god."    

    

As she spoke, she let Na directly take the document from Robert.    

    

With just a glance, na knew that there were no traps in this short document. It was just a life and death certificate.    

    

But...    

    

"Never expose the fact that you can read. A fool who can't read a word is easier to trust than a writer."    

    

"Mr. Gondor's teachings rang in his mind.    

    

Indeed, what "Mr. Gondor" said was correct.    

    

She grabbed the quill pen on the desk like a spoon and made Na draw a crooked fork in the blank space of the book.    

    

She was sure that something would go wrong at the front line of Orleans with the Scots around.    

    

She would not lose this bet.    

    

So...    

    

She even returned the quill and asked Na to put her hands together devoutly.    

    

"This is also the will of God."
