Chapter 511 Prophecy
After once again mourning his wizard friend and his daughter in his heart, Aldridge continued:
"In my relationship with Hewitt, I Gradually I came into contact with the ancient family he came from. This is a family that has maintained a heritage for thousands of years, older than the history of many civilizations. I was pleasantly surprised to find that his family preserved a lot of mysterious and ancient information, as I just said. Yes, wizards can always be associated with words such as mystery and ancientness. The information covers everything, such as the war between prehistoric humans and demons, and the disaster star I studied.”
"I was pleasantly surprised to find that Cisco Hewitt is also a knowledgeable person. He has also studied that mysterious meteor. It seems that we have met a close friend - although studying it is not out of my own initial interest, but After all, I have invested so much energy. We happily exchange our research findings with each other and work together to find new clues."
"Many clues are ancient that no one can decipher. Words, as I have collected from all over the continent - this is normal. You know, civilizations ebb and flow, and how many splendid ancient civilizations like Zolf have disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only burials Tombs in the ground reveal their presence."
"However, we at least know one thing. As an ominous omen, this star of disaster has been feared by civilizations in different regions and times for a long time in human history."
" Through our efforts, the originally broken puzzle piece gradually became complete. We confirmed that every time it appears, it will be followed by a huge disaster, such as floods that have ravaged many countries, and large-scale wars that have lasted for months. A volcanic eruption that buried a city-state, a drought with locusts everywhere, no harvests, and so on. You must also know that the decline of the Gubera Empire began with a drought that lasted for many years. Before the terrible drought, yes, the disaster star appeared."
"There is a terrible prophecy in the information we collected."
Speaking of this. Aldrich sighed, "The shame is that I didn't pay too much attention at the time, otherwise I should have made preparations long ago."
"Prophecy?" MacDonald looked at the remorseful Aldridge. Derich.
Aldrich said in a low voice: "With the tenth appearance of the disaster star, the world will return to the original chaos, just like when it first appeared."
"Well... "McDonald touched his beard, he was a little "fascinated" by what Aldrich said.
"Then have you verified what it was like when the so-called disaster star first appeared?"
"We found it."
Aldrich's face A little pale, "The traces of the first appearance of the Star of Disaster were just before the war with the demons in ancient times."
"In fact, in many of our human languages, although the words devil, demon, demon, evil spirit, ghost, etc. have different expressions and writing methods, they all contain the meaning of "chaos", "chaos" and "chaos" to some extent. The meaning of the species is that it comes from the same origin, and combined with the myth of the war between humans and demons that is spread by almost all countries - that is, the common memory of the human race - we guess that after the disaster star appeared for the first time, A disaster occurred when demons invaded the human world, and according to this prophecy, its tenth appearance will herald the legendary demons’ invasion of the human world again.”
Aldrich became a little frustrated. , "But as I just said, at the beginning I studied the so-called star of disaster just out of the teacher's regret and my own academic interest. Even if I deciphered this prophecy, I was still doubtful. After all, they are too far away. It has been so long ago that it has only left traces in human history. However, just four years ago..."
The old bachelor paused, and his junior fell silent beside him.
McDonald asked anxiously: "That [accidental discovery] of yours?" "Yes!" The old bachelor who was questioned by MacDonald suddenly shouted.
"Four years ago, the star of disaster described in Zolf's ancient book actually appeared!"
Aldrich realized that he was a little out of control, took a few breaths slowly, and calmed down. Checked his mood.
Then he continued: "At first, the court astrologer Isa Rossi, the maester, who was on duty that day, discovered the star while observing the sky, but he just regarded it as an ordinary celestial body. It was recorded that he, who was well versed in astrology, had seen meteors of that shape and color for the first time, so he described them in more detail. "
"As for me, when I think about it carefully, I actually realized that that night. I also saw the meteor, but I didn't pay too much attention to it at the moment I saw it - I don't study astrology myself, so I didn't have enough sensitivity at the time. At a glance, I just regarded it as an ordinary meteor. Shooting star. However, when I fell asleep, its image became more and more clear in my dreams, and finally woke me up from my sleep, and I could no longer sleep."
In Aldrich. As he recounted this, Macdonald noticed beads of sweat on the old bachelor's forehead.
"I still remember it very clearly. At that time, I seemed to be driven by a mysterious force. I rushed to the Star Observation Tower all night, disheveled, to read the records that Maester Rossi had just left. Poor Rossi, who was on night duty He was also startled by my sudden intrusion. According to Rossi later, I jumped on his desk desperately and read the notes he left almost frantically."
Aldrich's voice was trembling again, and it was obvious that recalling his state at that time made him very uncomfortable. People in the bachelor's tower are known for their calmness and calmness.
“I read carefully page by page, and finally discovered the disaster star that gradually became clear in my sleep. The words Rossi left were completely consistent with the image of the meteor in my dream. At that time, I thought about the prophecy again, and the various clues that Cisco Hewitt and I had found."
"Our human enemy is coming, and the demons are about to invade this place again. The world!”
“I returned to my residence and began to read frantically through the research materials that cost me countless efforts and were later shelved. The records were no longer vague legends, but It turned into chains that bound my body and soul."
At this time the old maester began to become incoherent again.
Aldrich's junior student put his hand on his shoulder.
"My respected senior, calm down! Calm down! You are the respected chief bachelor of the bachelor tower."
