Chapter 416-2: The True and False Envoys, The Second Half of the Prophecy (2)
[The many Scholars also chime in to persuade him, saying that the master has far too little contact with the outside world. There may be almost no such mad, disordered types in the Imperial Capital and auxiliary capital, but in rural villages and towns they are as common as can be.]
[If such people can be counted as True God’s Envoys, they can drag in a whole cart of True God’s Envoys for him tomorrow.]
[Coleman, never very good with words, finds himself completely at a loss, unable to figure out how to explain or refute them.]
[The Direct Vision Great Sage suddenly says that perhaps the master knows why he is so certain this man is not the True God’s Envoy.]
[Coleman of course knows the Great Sage is about to say something like star chasing heretic and other trumped up crimes. He is so angry that he points at the Great Sage, his finger trembling as he fails to speak.]
[But the Great Sage walks slowly up to him and only leans close to whisper a single sentence in his ear, causing Coleman’s expression to dramatically change.]
[Coleman asks in shock if the Great Sage truly has not lied to him.]
[The Great Sage smiles and nods.]
[Coleman’s face instantly fills with shame. He turns to the many Scholars and apologizes, admitting that in his momentary old age dimness he mistakenly took an evil heretic as the True God’s Envoy, and that he has truly shamed the true Lord.]
