Chapter 512 The End
Jalvi tried hard to calm down his senior and prevent Aldrich from losing his composure in front of MacDonald.
"I'm sorry, Mr. MacDonald, the disaster star has put too much pressure on me during that period of time."
Aldrich said with an embarrassed expression.
McDonald stretched out his hand in a comforting gesture to show that he understood his mood.
The old bachelor continued: "I picked up those materials again and made some new discoveries."
"New discoveries?"
"Yes, that was an ancient The notes left by the civilized priest describe a strange dream he had. According to the meaning expressed by the owner of the notes, it is the doomsday scene after the 10th appearance of the star of disaster."
" Is it the end of the world? Is it the extinction of human civilization? "
"Although it is not stated clearly, it is almost the same. Let me describe it to you in Gabeira's language."
Next, Aldrich recited in a poetic tone:
"When it appears for the tenth time between heaven and earth."
"The Great Destroyer passes through non-existence. The door came to this world from the other world.”
“He created his own family on the earth and forged his army with steel. They wielded weapons that breathed fire and slaughtered all flesh and blood. Creatures...""
"The dependents celebrated their victory and erected stone pillars on the ground to worship Him. ”
"The vicious black mist erupted from the top of the stone pillar, covering the sun, moon and stars, and the disgusting black water flowed from the bottom of the stone pillar, invading the rivers and oceans. These evil things have created countless diseases and alien forms in the human world... …"
"Under the poison of the Great Destroyer, the world fell into chaos..."
"People's minds were eroded, people's thoughts were distorted, and their noble morals were abandoned. , the perfect order was trampled on, the era of heroes and wise kings was over, and the old civilization was gone forever..."
"The noble people became lambs to be slaughtered, and the originally gentle people Then they turned into ferocious beasts and pounced ferociously on their original masters..."
"An era of extreme chaos has arrived..."
"This is both destruction and... It's a pity that the latter part is lost."
The old bachelor's description is like a chant, showing a terrible doomsday scene in the form of a ballad.
McDonald's face was solemn, "These descriptions are the scene after the demons attack the human world?"
Aldrich nodded, "Yes, aren't the destroyers the various Isn't the description of the demons in the myth of the war between humans and animals? Isn't the non-existent door the passage sealed by the gods? One day in the future, the sealed door will be opened again, and the aliens from the other side will invade our human world again. Just like they did in ancient times, and our human civilization will face catastrophe."
Yes, MacDonald thought, if it is as described in the old bachelor's ballad, the future world will be like that. How terrible it would be.
After a little divergent thinking, he had a panoramic view of the disaster in his mind - the ancient sealed door was opened again, and the ancient enemies of mankind reappeared. On the one hand, they had a steel-like army and defeated mankind one after another. , they practiced vicious witchcraft and polluted the sky and the ocean with evil, thereby eroding the human mind. Under the double blow of the body and soul, the order of the human world began to collapse, morality began to decline, and the heroes of justice Being spurned, the wise king was betrayed, and the superiority and inferiority were completely reversed. What's worse is that human beings may have mutated into monsters that only know how to kill under the influence of evils such as black mist and black water.
This is not a natural disaster, nor is it a war between countries. Compared with the picture above, these things are just scratching the itch. This is the end of the entire human race, the collapse of the entire civilization, and the future world There is no daylight.
While Macdonald was pondering secretly, he unknowingly broke into a cold sweat. At this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his mind, which was chaotic due to fear.
This ray of light reminded him of another possibility of prophecy.
"Isn't this... too alarmist?"
McDonald said with a frown.
"What, you don't believe it?" Aldrich and Alvi asked in unison, their voices a little anxious.
"Oh, no! I believe this prophecy. After all, you have verified that every time a disaster star appears, there will be disaster. I mean..."
The old marshal considered his words. .
"If a prophecy is too specific, it makes people not believe it in its entirety. Then, is the content of the prophecy just a description, an exaggeration, and a modification."
"And the prophecy is It is a metaphor, a symbol, and it should be abstracted into... For example, could the prophecy you have tested simply symbolize the [Great Invasion], and by extension, [the invasion of humans by races other than humans]? What about the invasion of the world?"
"And this race other than humans is not the legendary demon race that no one has ever seen. They live in this continent and live next to humans. of..."
"What?"
"Orcs!"
The moment MacDonald answered the question, he saw some emotion in Aldrich's eyes.
That is the arrogance of a scholar, or the conceit of a scholar. It is like telling him-I am the chief bachelor of the bachelor tower. This is the knowledge I have spent most of my life testing, and it is your turn. Only generals who know how to lead troops to fight will correct it.
Of course Macdonald will not be angry because of this. He is past the age of getting angry easily. He also knows the temper of these bachelors, and after all, the other party is the most famous scholar in the empire, and knowledge is forever. is respected.
On the other hand, Aldrich's junior student, Alvi, laughed softly, which eased the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
"Interesting inference, Mr. Macdonald. Think about it. With the living customs and social system of the orcs, if they invade the human world and impose their methods on humans, it can also be called It’s the end of order and the end of civilization. But..."
He looked at Macdonald and said softly: "Have you ever thought that orcs have such great abilities?"
Macdonald nodded, "Yes - I mean when the time comes Finally, I saw this possibility?"
"Oh? What is possible?"
"Because of my position, I have some knowledge of the situation around the empire, including human beings. As far as I know, a new royal tent has been established on the grassland in the north of the countries, and the Zarg clan is growing its power and trying to restore the glory of its ancestors.”
"Have you ever thought about how terrifying power will be born once the new royal account integrates the orc tribes on the entire prairie?"
