At the same time, somewhere in the earth
In the closed cellar, the aroma of wine was intertwined with the smell of some mixed weeds.
Al Hodge sat in a space surrounded by rows of wine barrels, scrolling through his cell phone rather boredly.
When he built this cellar before, he was building it to replicate some ancient medieval style.
At first, I didn’t even consider installing water and electricity.
Want to create that old and retro feel...
As a result, an exception was made because the mobile phone signal was too poor.
After crossing the first boundary, everything becomes a matter of course.
The ever-increasing related requirements have greatly challenged the designers who designed this cellar.
Fortunately, looking at the return of a high enough salary, he finally completed this design.
Last night's party was so wild that Al Hodge yawned lazily.
After the desire is satisfied, a certain kind of slight fatigue that people show can always highlight the so-called "aristocratic temperament".
Al Hodge doesn't like this.
Although he was born in a family that could not be described as wealthy.
But his biological father did not place too many demands on him in this regard.
This is probably related to the fact that he had a rather difficult military career when he was young?
Al Hodge didn't know, he didn't bother to slander his biological father.
On days without banquets, he was more interested in following his hobbies.
Such as stargazing, alchemy, etc.
Compared with the previous ones, his father rarely criticized this hobby of his.
Al Hodge suspected that this was related to what he had heard about a certain love rival of his father's youth.
In a sense, this is also the reason why Al Hodge does not pursue this hobby with too much fanfare.
But a complete stop?
Not Al Hodge.
Under the cellar, there are underground passages extending in all directions.
This isn't all Al Hodge's fault.
For this ancient castle built in the years of war, the final retreat is essential.
Of course now, it has become the plaything of the sole heir of the current owner of the castle.
Although, Al Hodge doesn't think this is frivolous, just unreliable.
After all, his teacher was indeed a knowledgeable bachelor.
Of course, that is his apparent identity, and in this cellar, he is a pioneer trying to trace the true magic.
Yes, Pioneer, that's how he defines himself.
And as time passed, a clear ringtone suddenly sounded in the cellar, and Al Hodge, who was a little tired while scrolling through his cell phone, suddenly got excited.
Then, he put the phone away.
Not long after, an old man in a robe climbed up from the ladder below.
"Teacher, your beard?"
Al Hodge caught a glimpse of the other party's somewhat irregular beard.
This surprised Al Hodge.
Because in his impression, compared to his wild behavior, the teacher always thought that he had strict requirements for his appearance.
This was the first time he had seen a teacher appear in such a situation.
"Disheartening news, Mr. Hodge."
After the old man came up, he said in a low voice.
"What? Master Capac, your face looks a little bad?"
Al-Hodge looked at the other party in surprise, not quite sure what kind of news made this wise man, who had always had a profound temperament, appear in such embarrassment now.
Al-Hodge's words made Master Capac suddenly close the distance between the two.
In the dark cellar, he stared into Al Hodge's eyes, and then whispered as if whispering:
"The world is changing, Mr. Hodge, if you continue to conduct the crystal ball experiment I gave you."
Al-Hodge could see a look of joy and pain mixed in the somewhat cloudy eyes of Master Capak.
It was a complex emotion that was difficult to describe in words, but it was presented to him so clearly.
But that wasn't crazy. Al Hodge could see the rationale in it.
It's just that the rationality and sobriety at this time may correspond to pain and torture.
Of course, Al Hodge's attention was attracted by the second half of the other party's words.
His brain began to spin continuously, trying hard to recall the relevant contents of the crystal ball experiment that Master Capak taught him before.
As we all know, it is always difficult to arrange your own schedule freely in a wealthy life.
Al-Hodge also wanted to study hard, but those bright-looking skins always interrupted his exploration leading to the mysterious realm time and time again.
So, he had no choice but to clear his throat tactically, and then looked at his mentor with a calm expression:
"Of course, Master Capac, I have been practicing according to your instructions."
"I have also discovered this phenomenon. This time I come to you to find the answer behind this phenomenon."
Full score!
Al Hodge applauded himself.
However, after hearing his answer, Master Capak just looked at him, and his look made Al Hodge feel slightly guilty.
Fortunately, the instructor did not focus on this point, but repeated a certain word in Al Hodge's answer:
"Answer?"
Instructor Capac paused, and in the dark cellar, his cloudy eyes seemed to have a little more brightness.
After a slight pause, his long echo seemed to carry some indescribable weirdness:
"...The god from the east has arrived. He walks in the world and sets off huge waves in the sea of energy."
"Even on an island so far away, I can feel His painful yet vital breath."
"A great era is coming, and the red sun will rise from that land. We can only covet its afterglow..."
Instructor Capak's singing-like tone made Al Hodge feel a little hairy.
As for the meaning of the other party's words, he was even more confused.
What Eastern god?
What red sun?
Is it some new metaphor or something?
Al Hodge had a headache.
That's the bad thing about my tutor, he always likes to say some crazy things.
If you don’t have enough relevant knowledge, it will sound too laborious.
Fortunately, Al Hodge already knows how to deal with it.
He just distilled its surface meaning.
leftover?
Just wait until the instructor can't hold it any longer and explain himself...
So, to put it simply, a god appears in the East and will bring about a series of changes.
"So mentor, when will our gods awaken?"
Al-Hodge thought for a while and asked tentatively.
"us?"
Master Kapak chewed the word.
He looked at Al Hodge, with some indescribable meaning in his cloudy eyes:
"Mr. Hodge, you should know that when a new mythology begins, there will not be two completely different pantheons."
"And once it occurs, conquest or destruction will be an inevitable fate..."
