Chapter 151: Interpreting the Prophe-Bee
The man’s eyes twitched and glanced every which way. But then…he stopped, looked Belissar in the eye, and then turned his gaze down with a heavy sigh.
“…it matters not. My life is over, I will not end it with yet another failure. Kill me if you must.”
Belissar glared at the man but he refused to raise his head anymore. Belissar turned to the young man.
“Who is he, by the way? Why did you bring an old man like that with you?”
The young man rubbed his chin.
“He’s an augur. I don’t fully get it but they’re supposed to divine the will of the gods, especially regarding Towers? I’m not sure how but he was the one who figured out where to go. Our…commander claimed a god spoke to the augur and told us where to go.”
Belissar blinked at that.
“A…god led you here?”
Belissar frowned. If the gods were getting involved…then the situation could be worse than he thought. He had thought the Tower Lords had lied about the gods disproving of peasants and beastkin after he was blessed by the God of Bees…but now a god had led the Tower Lords straight to him? Now that he thought about it, it was true that the gods were not a united monolith. They were individuals, unique and separate from one another. They could be different, and they could even be at odds with one another.
