Chapter 1845 Nature of Prophecy

"The information I have on him is definitely significant, but I don't know how much it will help you," Rui informed her. "However, I am due to get a more thorough information package on the Divine Doctor soon. I will convey it to you when I get it."

"You do that. It will be better if I complete the prophecies then," Matriarch Nephi nodded. "I did want to inquire..." Rui continued. "What kind of information can I expect from your prophecy?"

It was crucial for Rui to understand exactly what the output of the Eye of Prophecy yielded when applied. It would help him plan out how he was going to find the Divine Doctor better. He also was quite curious about the matter. "The outcomes of the technique aren't...uniform," she admitted. "They vary quite vividly in many ways, including depth, precision, and the kind of sensory information that it gives us. Sometimes I get vague visions, sometimes it's sounds, or even touch and smell."

Rui frowned. "That's...much less reliable than I had expected. Does that also happen in combat?"

"It's more uniform and reliable in combat," she reassured him with pride. "There are visions that allow you to see what your opponent is to do in combat. But it's much harder to execute outside of combat since it is primarily a combat technique."

Rui could definitely relate to that. After all, the same could be said for the Angel of Laplace. Its non-combat version was extraordinarily more difficult to use than the scaled-down version that he created for combat.

Her description of the output technique made him curious about the mechanics of the technique. It sounded like she didn't really have any control over the process itself. Whatever it was, it clearly functioned differently from his predictive model or the Angel of Laplace that relied on statistics and physics, respectively, to give him the information that he sought from the two techniques.

"I am curious to learn more about the technique when I have the chance after my urgent commitments," Rui replied. "I don't know if I will be using it unless my life is truly in danger, though."

It preserved their pride.

The grandson and grandmother conversed about a variety of topics while they could, as Rui purposely took the time to build a greater rapport with this grandmother.

"As if we would ever settle with those ignorant antithetants!" Matriarch Nephi scorned when Rui asked her why she had never taken protection in the Virodhabhasa Theocracy. "We prophetants understand that it is the Transcendent Prophet who deserves the highest regard and worship, not the Antithesis! It is a prophecy that saved this world! It is prophecy that is supreme!"

She grumbled, much to Rui's delight.

He was glad that there were theological conflicts between the Silas Clan and the Theocracy. Frankly, if not for that, the Silas Clan may very well decide to settle in the Theocracy. This would be a great loss to the Kandrian Empire and himself, especially.

They conversed more as Matriarch Nephi asked him many questions regarding their potential permanent residence in the Kandrian Empire. It was important for her to gain an understanding of the nature of what their life would be like in the Kandrian Empire before making a final decision in regard to whether they would take Rui up on his offer to permanently reside in the Kandrian Empire or not.

"...It has been a long day," Matriarch Nephi heaved a sigh. "Much has happened. Why don't you take some rest in our clan before departing?"

Rui smiled. "I'd love to, but as I said earlier, I'm not supposed to be here. I will need to return soon. Thus, I hope I can return home today with the name of the Silas Clan."
