"I don't understand you."
After all, it took a while to understand what Duan Qing had just said. Fordson, who was sitting there for a while, spoke again: "What do you want to say? What's the deviation in the prophecy?"
"Perhaps there is no deviation in the content of the prophecy." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "The black city wall, the blue light, the fierce fire, and the roar of the people...the keywords mentioned in these prophecies can all be passed in the Free Continent.
We have found very obvious referents in history, and based on our current intelligence and knowledge, many of these events even have very obvious indicators."
"For example, the death represented by the black city wall may refer to the garrison fortress war decades ago. The blue radiance and burning lights may refer to the top of the Falling Star Mountain." At this point, he began to give examples.
He said, "The roar of the common people, from the perspective of us and the principality you represent, should refer to the thug who assassinated Pamir in the Battle of Tania in 795 of the New Calendar."
"That's right, but that battle ended with Tania's victory." After lowering his head and being silent for a moment, Fordson finally recognized Duan Qing's statement: "Represented by the Fool Adventure Group, the vast majority of
The adventurers became the mainstay of the future of destiny. They rekindled the hope that should have been extinguished in the prophecy, saved Pamir's life, and brought Tania to a new world.
"No, destiny is not broken at all."
Waving his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing's abrupt voice sounded particularly harsh in everyone's ears: "The reinterpretation I am referring to is precisely this point. There may be some mistakes in the way we look at this prophecy."
"……mistake?"
"Yes, we may have seen it the other way around."
His fingers made gestures in the air from bottom to top, and Duan Qing's eyes gradually met with the old eyes of Fordson: "Recall everything that has happened before. Isn't this prophecy read in reverse?
smooth?"
"Taking the Battle of Tania: The Roar of the People as a starting point, let's take a look at every sentence in the prophecy." He ignored the shocked expression on the old man's face, and continued in a low voice: "Fire leads the way.
Darkness, fall means rebirth. After the Battle of Tania, the biggest event should be the "Mornar Star" incident in the Free City that night. We revealed the secret of the identity of the city lord that night, and also witnessed
The city lord’s palace in the Free City was destroyed in the fire.”
"There was a huge shock in the Free City as a result, but the candidates for the Twelve Thrones also united as one, heralding a new beginning for the city." The gray-robed magician's voice became deeper and deeper: "Yes.
Doesn’t it fit well with the statement in this poem?”
"..."
As if he didn't know how to criticize Duan Qing's remarks, Fordson widened his old eyes, while Qian Zhihe, who was standing aside and looked a little dumbfounded, then clapped his hands and suddenly shouted.
: "That's right! The subsequent Sky City incident, and the blue fire that was finally slashed out by Qingshan on Qingmo, are more in line with the phrase 'bringing the blue light back to the sky'!"
"The official appearance of the Sky City is more in line with the symbol of 'Blue Glory'." Duan Qing also nodded his head in response: "The Free Continent has finally become qualified to fly, represented by the Council of Mages.
Humanity can finally regain the legacy of the Magic Empire and fly its own wings."
"Then the next sentence is, the next sentence is" the light in his eyes became brighter, and Qian Zhihe's gaze also turned to the east with a thoughtful expression: "The end point of the pendulum points to the east, and the black city wall represents death..."
If it’s to the east, does this refer to the Fleur Empire?”
"If you are referring to the mutation that occurred in your country before, then it is indeed consistent with your method of interpretation." Fordson's eyelids slowly closed as the light gradually became restrained: "I heard that
Your country's emperor Drenir almost died because of that coup, and the city also suffered great losses. However,"
"The Frey Empire is located in the west of this continent, not the east."
He pointed in the direction where Qian Zhihe was looking before, and his neat and orderly white beard swayed slightly with the corners of his raised mouth. The momentum gradually exuded did not shake Duan Qing's smile, but made his movements change.
He became a little more confident: "So this is where I came to ask Mr. Fordson for advice."
"Do you know the origin of this prophecy?" He looked at the other person's face, as if he was asking a question that he already knew the answer to: "Is it left by the Tadaya clan in Tania City? It's right here.
Within a city?”
"As the head of the Fordson family, I am actually not very clear about the details of how this prophecy spread inside and outside the mainland." After another period of unspeakable silence, Fordson finally chose to explain truthfully: "But
If you want to ask about the origin of this prophecy, I am certain that this prophecy must have come from Tania."
"They are carved sentence by sentence in the underground center of this city." The old man pointed to his feet, with a proud smile on his face: "Our ancestors have studied Tadaya's civilization for hundreds of years.
History and language have gone through a long period of time before the true content of those languages can be deciphered bit by bit."
"In other words, this prophecy was translated by your ancestors based on knowledge and experience?" The smile on Duan Qing's face became more and more confident: "And based on the current situation of this city?"
"The current situation?" Fordson seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of the word Duan Qing suddenly said: "What do you want to say?"
"I have not studied the history of Tanya, and I don't know if there are any special ways of using the language and writing of the Tadaya people."
Waving his hand at the Qianzhihe beside him, Duan Qing then gestured around the temporary house: "But judging from the descendants of Tadaya, who are the people of your principality, your civilization
It should be no different from the daily usage methods of other Free Continent aborigines in other areas."
"In other words, the Tadaya clan should not have any situation like 'reading words from bottom up', or 'the directions of east and west are contrary to people's normal concepts.'" He stated his point directly.
Thought: "This is too unnatural and does not conform to the laws of civilization development and inheritance, unless"
"There are some unnatural factors that caused this unexpected situation to occur."
He pointed at his feet, as if he was telling some firm conclusion, and the wrinkles on Fordson's face looking at Duan Qing became deeper and deeper, as if he was hearing something that he didn't want to believe at all.
The facts are the same: "I don't want to continue to listen to your nonsense here, so you have one last chance: What do you really want to say?"
"We have gone to the underground world to investigate before." Duan Qing spread his hands indifferently: "I won't go into details about the specific details and process. Even if I explain it clearly, as a tower
Your Excellency, the inheritor of the Daya clan, you probably won’t choose to believe either.”
"So I will just say the conclusion: the underground structure of this city is now upside down." He turned his spread hands over and pressed down: "When Tania first appeared here, the entire city might have been upside down.
Came here."
"...Do you want to say that?"
"The prophecies your ancestors saw and interpreted were probably the other way around." Duan Qing raised his finger again: "If they are carved on the wall."
"Everything can be explained."
He let out a slight sigh, and then looked at the old man's face with inexplicable eyes. The obvious silence then occupied the air between the old man and Duan Qing again, and finally disappeared with Fordson closing his eyes again.
He made a sneer: "This is simply nonsense, hateful and pathetic Imperial people, do you want me to give up what my ancestors and my fathers have worked hard to preserve based on your nonsense?"
secret?"
"I understand that it is very difficult for you to deny the efforts of your ancestors because you 'see the opposite'." The smile on Duan Qing's face has not changed: "I just want to confirm to you that I am here.
It’s just a few questions you want to ask, and you don’t need to put too much psychological burden on it.”
"If, I mean if." After another unspeakable silence, Fordson finally asked again: "If this is really what you said, and the prophecy needs to be interpreted in reverse, then so what?
So? Does your empire have any other plans?"
"I dare not say what we are planning, but we do intend to change our policies and strategies based on the things mentioned in these prophecies." Duan Qing replied uncertainly: "And I personally think that since he is Tania's ancestor,
The prophecies left behind, then every sentence in it should contain its own meaning."
"For example, the beginning of the sentence 'Threads of magic are everywhere, and the existence of power gradually fades away', it may indicate the emergence of the restorer." His voice also began to become deeper: "But if the Battle of Tania is used as a
Considering the nodes, if we re-search the previous events, the Emerald Tower incident and the emeralds moved by the restorers will become very suspicious..."
"You seem to be very familiar with these things that happen in the principality." Interrupting Duan Qing's words, which were like talking to himself, Fordson's eyes full of light fell on the other party's head again: "Don't you
Have you deliberately investigated the history of the principality?”
"If possible, I hope to learn more about the history of the principality." Duan Qing replied without denying: "In this way, we may find more signs, which are enough arguments to prove that my interpretation is correct."
"I don't have time to accompany you here to continue to interpret these meaningless contents."
After waving his hand and looking at Duan Qing for a while, Fordson finally curled up back into his seat and said, "If you have nothing else to do, please go back."
"Okay, let's talk about it later." Duan Qing also showed a helpless expression: "I originally wanted to confirm with you about the 'Four Emperors'..."
"Four emperors?"
"The four stars are about to go out, and the four emperors are about to light up."
The action of turning around to leave was paused for a moment because Fordson spoke again. Duan Qing then repeated these words in a low voice: "According to my interpretation, this should be a prophecy that will reveal to us what is about to happen next."
A content, but I still know too little information about what the 'Four Stars' and 'Four Emperors' actually refer to."
"What exactly do the four emperors refer to? Does it refer to content related to the four elements, or does it simply refer to the four emperors on the mainland?" He pretended to have an interested expression and looked at it with curious eyes.
Fordson said with a face: "There is only one known emperor on the Free Continent, and that is Emperor Drenir of our Frey Empire. If we insist on counting, there should be Speaker Pamir and Free of the Principality of Elnifia.
Fan Gaal, the lord of the city..."
"It's hard to find the fourth one." The gray-robed magician blinked his eyes and looked at Fordson's face expectantly: "It seems like it doesn't make sense again."
"Perhaps there is a fourth person." His eyes dropped to the ground as some thoughts extended, and Fordson's voice then became deeper: "There was this legend a long time ago: In the east of our free continent, there are still
There is another vast land, which is not only as vast as our land here, but also has the same human existence as ours."
"There should be a kingdom there." When he said this, his face seemed to become more yearning: "Another emperor who rules another continent that is independent of the world, and owns countless lands and people..."
"Your Excellency, you are referring to the other side of the Bridge of Freedom, right?" Breaking the old man's inexplicable illusion, Duan Qing said with a smile: "We have also heard of this rumor, and even seen it from that continent.
Where are the people who live here?"
"What? Have you ever seen people from that continent?" Fordson's voice was really full of surprise this time: "How is this possible? This, this is obviously just a legend!"
"As I said just now, legends are never groundless."
Recalling the two figures who had said goodbye to him on the beach of that city in his mind, Duan Qing's voice was also full of memories: "Since even you have heard such rumors, then the New World may really exist.
Maybe, but no one has been able to break through that bridge for so many years, so no one can confirm its existence."
"Are you going to prove its existence?"
"How can it be."
Waving aside Fordson's questions, Duan Qing started to leave again: "The current situation is so chaotic and complicated, and our empire still has a lot of troubles to deal with."
"Unless there is a real need to confirm."
With Qian Zhihe's body, he paused at the door for a moment, and left his last smile to the old man: "When the time comes."
"I will take your share and have a good time on that bridge."
