The Grand Duke of the Sorcery class was a descendant of the witches.
He inherited the secret of the witches, Divination!
Divination, as the name implied, was to be able to predict the changes in heaven and earth and know everything that was about to happen.
The Sorcery class had assisted two generations of emperors in the Foss Kingdom. The previous one was 50 years, and the current one was 40 years.
He was 100 years old this year.
In other words, he had been serving the Foss Kingdom since he was 10 years old.
The glory days of the witches had been drowned in the long river of history. They had no choice but to rely on a powerful kingdom to survive.
Their clansmen were scattered all over the continent, living under someone else's roof.
The descendants of the Grand Duke of the Sorcery class developed into the number one family in the Foss Kingdom under his careful protection.
They were extremely powerful and unrivaled.
Some members of the royal family even discussed in private that they would replace the Zhu family one day and become the new overlord of the Foss Kingdom.
Of course, His Majesty had heard about it too, but he did not care about it.
The descendants of the Grand Duke of the Sorcery class were all weird. They had no military power or political power, so they could not achieve anything.
To outsiders, they were powerful, but that was just an illusion. The Grand Duke of the Sorcery class was 100 years old and did not have many years left to live. Once he died, the entire Sorcery family would be in a state of disunity.
Speaking of which, if he did not rely on the emperor, his entire family would still be on the streets telling people's fortunes. Where would he get his power from?
Moreover, the Grand Duke of the Sorcery class said that their era no longer existed. He would be satisfied if he could let these hundreds of descendants live peacefully and reproduce.
Emperor Zhu Ruidi still needed to rely on the Sorcery class for many things. He was also afraid that the Sorcery class would hold a grudge against him and not be willing to serve him sincerely, so he made him a Grand Duke with a different surname.
In the Foss Kingdom, a Grand Duke was a Grand Duke, one level lower than a Prince. It was the highest rank among the Dukes.
However, the Sorcery class was different. Those Princes had to greet him respectfully when they saw him.
It was all because his fortune-telling was too accurate.
Of course, it also included predicting things big and small.
Humans were creatures that sought advantages and avoided disadvantages. No one wanted to get involved in trouble. They all wanted to turn misfortune into good luck.
In the Sorcery class, it was said that the disasters that happened to everyone were predestined by the heavens. Once you avoided it, it would appear on others.
They were either family members or friends.
However, the ultimate technique of the Sorcery class was to shift these disasters onto unrelated people, even your … enemy!
Therefore, the Grand Duke of the Sorcery class was highly praised by them, and no one dared to offend him.
Zhang Xing had been conferred the title of Duke of the first rank, which was one rank lower than a Grand Duke.
It could be seen how much Emperor Zhu Ruidi valued him.
After the Grand Duke of the Sorcery class asked, he raised his head and looked at the emperor.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Thump! Thump!
He took four steps back.
His actions caused Emperor Zhu Ruidi, who was already palpitating, to shiver all over.
A gust of cold air penetrated from the soles of his feet to his head, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his face.
He had been on the throne for forty years, but he had never seen such a loss of composure in the Sorcery class.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask something, he saw that Wu Xuanxia's expression was heavy. He raised his eyes and began to observe the night sky.
Emperor Zhu Ruidi also looked up at the sky.
The night sky that was originally bright with stars and moon suddenly changed.
In the windless night sky, gray clouds drifted in from nowhere and quickly covered the sky above them.
The shining stars dimmed, and the bright moon became hazy.
Looking into the distance, the night sky was still clear.
"What … What's going on?"
Emperor Zhu Ruidi was abnormally frightened.
