Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy

This bowl of beef broth was braised on low heat.

I stayed up last night to fan the fire.

It was braised for six hours.

As long as you tell me that you no longer miss her...

I'll feed it to you.

Take it away.

Yin Rong's son landed you in such a state.

Yet, Your Majesty, you still miss Yin Rong.

Sheng...

I...

I don't blame him.

Sheng is the most intelligent

of all my sons.

He Ge...

He's way... beneath him.

You just won't do as I wish, will you?

You just want to provoke me, don't you?

Wench.

Wench?

Who did you call a wench?

I'm a wench?

She robbed me of my love, my husband!

She is the wench!

Stay here and think of her all you want.

When you think of her...

I won't pleased to watch you do so.

I'll come here again tomorrow at this hour.

I'll be away for a day...

I wonder if you'll think of me.

Without my permission, no one is allowed to bring meals to His Majesty.

All the more, you're not to disturb him.

His Majesty is to stay here and think about who really harmed him.

And who...

Who was away when he was supposed to be there to save him?

Wu Ru Yi.

Present.

Lock the door.

Yes.

- Father. - Father.

The competition for the heir apparent will soon begin.

Command Yu Xin Ji to take good care of Prince Sheng.

Yes.

Father!

Father.

You sound so hesitant.

What is the matter?

I've found an occultist.

I had him take a look at those bizarre ashes next to Nanku De's body.

We might be able to find out who killed Nanku De.

This shall clear the Muru family of the false allegation!

An occultist?

Han!

The ancestral code of the Muru family forbids us to ever use magical power.

How dare you still bring it up?

Even if Father punishes me, I insist on saying it!

Not another word!

You are to drive away that occultist immediately.

From this moment onward...

you'll kneel before the tomb of our ancestor, Tian Tong.

You're not to get up until I allow it!

Everyone in the royal court can't wait to see the Muru family fall!

Father, can't you tell?

If magical powers can allow us to hold our ground

and have us win this battle, why can't we use them?

Muru Han Shan...

From the moment you wield a blade to kill

you should know that you will also die under a blade!

These are the last teachings of our ancestor, Tian Tong!

You!

Kneel right here!

Recite it!

The ancestral code of Tian Tong.

From the moment you wield a blade to kill--

Louder.

You should know!

You will also die under a blade!

Louder!

The ancestral code of Tian Tong!

From the moment you wield a blade to kill!

You should know!

You will also die under a blade!

The ancestral code of Tian Tong!

From the moment you wield a blade to kill!

You should know!

You will also die under a blade!

Prince De.

Mister Mo.

You've been wandering around for days.

Did you get to meet Muyun Sheng?

Tian Qi City really is a great place to do business.

The shop owners are all a bit too chatty.

It's so easy to attain any information.

You've only attained some information?

Muyun Sheng truly is a freak.

He never leaves his residence apart from going to the palace.

He refuses to meet men.

He lives in Weiping Residence.

There's a battalion of soldiers guarding his place.

That's all you found out.

Does this even need to take you a few days?

I also know what he likes.

I had my Uncle Ping send something from the valley.

It has finally arrived.

Will you come with me today?

You'll go there alone.

What should I do when I see him?

Ask him a question.

What is this?

Exactly.

That's how you should ask him.

See if he has an answer to that.

What is this?

A young gentleman is waiting outside.

He said that it's a gift for you.

You accepted it?

I shouldn't have accepted it.

But I saw that he seemed to resemble Your Highness in some way.

Your Highness has never had a friend.

So I...

Has the gentleman left?

Invite him in.

Yes.

Please.

Your Highness, do you like it?

Where did you get the paper?

At the peak of Thunder Eye Mountain in Wan Prefecture

there was once an anonymous village.

It was said that hundreds of years ago

since the former Great Cheng Dynasty

they started using water from this village to craft paper.

As that water originated from Thunder Eye Mountain

and it flows past mineral ores

the paper crafted with it produces a peculiar effect.

It's thin, but strong.

It's slightly yellowish, and glitters of gold.

With ink-color paintings, the colors can overlap for layers without smudging.

The paintings can then remain well kept for years.

Its colors will remain just as radiant as they were hundreds of years ago.

This paper was sold at the price of gold.

The villagers worked day and night out of their greed for money.

That spring water eventually dried up.

The villagers lost their livelihood since then.

They could no longer live at the peak of the mountain.

Therefore, they gradually left the mountain to make a living.

As time went by

no one knew where that anonymous village once was.

Since then...

this paper was lost to the world.

How did you get it, then?

I'm fond of calligraphy.

My uncle actually managed to find that spring water for me.

It's just that the water comes and goes.

Not much paper can be produced each year.

Therefore...

It has only been provided to me.

However, if Your Highness is fond of it...

the paper is yours when I get mine.

You brought me a gift.

You must be after something.

What is it that you want?

I'd like Your Highness to answer a question of mine.

This is my question.

Should Your Highness have an answer, please come to me.

I'm staying at Novoland Inn.

I won't impose on you any further.

I take my leave.

Interesting.

Which is heavier, a stone or a feather?

Good question.

Interesting.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

You can see me?

I can.

You can hear me?

I can.

What was I saying just now?

You said, "Which is heavier, a stone or a feather?"

It's you.

It's me?

The person I keep seeing in the glass bead is you.

No one else can see you.

Only I can see you.

They all said that I have been hallucinating.

You actually do exist.

No, I don't exist.

Your Highness!

The glass bead is gone!

Your Highness, the glass bead is gone!

If Muyun Sheng has an answer to that

what should I do then?

It's coded in the form of the Nine Deficient Scepter Algorithm

as stated in the "Book of the Charmers."

If he can decode that...

it proves he has met that woman with the "Book of the Charmers."

What then?

Then?

We'll definitely have to find out where that woman is now.

Prince De.

Prince Ning Rui, Muyun Sheng, asks to see you.
