"That prophecy is no longer a secret. The game... ahem, the free world has been developing for so long. As long as the secret is leaked, it will be widely circulated among the adventurers sooner or later."
The howling mountain wind kept blowing in the ears, and the cold that was even worse than the sacred mountain also appeared on the extremely high ground where Duan Qing and Fula appeared at this time, looking around here.
The gray-robed magician here also subconsciously wrapped his collar and explained casually in a low voice that could only be heard by those around him: "With the efforts of the great gods from all walks of life, that is, experienced adventurers,
, that prophecy has now been interpreted in multiple versions, each version also has its own speculation and supporting materials."
"I'm also aware of this. When all kinds of claims based on research have their own reasons, the situation will become complicated." It seems that no extra effort was used to resist the cold wind all around.
Fulla, who was looking around, replied in a casual voice: "Which side of history should I believe? When I go through the records in the depths of the ruins, I will have the same doubts in my heart."
"Probably only an archaeological madman like you would be troubled by this kind of problem." Responding to the other party's words with a wry smile, Duan Qing continued to lead the way with difficulty: "Although there are many archaeologists among us adventurers, we are
There is no need to pursue a single answer. Since many explanations may be reasonable, there is no need to prove what the truth of the 'only' history that ever happened is."
"But on this issue, our situation is different from others." The gray-robed magician paused inexplicably when he said this: "Because we have something special that the public doesn't know about.
Information, so...ah, it's here."
The familiar yet unfamiliar mountain road kept passing by around the two people, and finally turned into a large void and nothingness as the howling mountain wind suddenly dispersed. Duan Qing, who was panting, then put down the hand he had been blocking in front of him.
With his hands resisting the cold wind, he introduced forward with a rather proud expression: "This is the top of Falling Star Mountain. Have you never been here before?"
"...The fog that has been sealed here has indeed disappeared." Her raised dragon eyes were fixed on the scenery in front of her for a while, and Fulla replied in a low voice with a slight surprise: "This is also what you did.
What? What is the cause of that fog?"
"I don't know, it's probably a legacy left by the ancient civilization that once haunted the top of Falling Star Mountain." Duan Qing lowered his head with his eyebrows pressed, and hid his embarrassed expression in a dry smile: "In short, since our first
After a group of adventurers arrived here, the fog surrounding this mountaintop began to become lighter and lighter, and more and more people successfully arrived here through the fog...Why, how does the fog hinder your dragon clan?
Is it that big?”
"There is an illusory power in the mist that we cannot understand. The magic of space is difficult to break through directly." Fulla shook her head: "According to past experience, the result of a direct breakthrough is often crashing into a rock or getting lost.
In the endless illusion, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as one of the biggest enemies of the space magic mastered by our Golden Dragon Clan."
"Indeed, some games - ahem, we adventurers have also heard of the 'third type of power independent of time and space' from other world legends." Duan Qingqing continued to check the surrounding environment.
He replied in a low voice: "I have been adventuring on the Free Continent for a long time, and I have never heard such a statement, and I have never seen a similar power system, unless - ahem, it seems to be going too far."
"It seems we came at the right time."
I don't know whether it was because he didn't want to continue this topic or because he confirmed the current safety situation around him, Duan Qing stopped his progress: "There is no one here now, so I can be a little more unscrupulous."
"If it weren't for the fact that cleaning up your kind would cause you discomfort, I wouldn't have to care about whether there are humans at the exploration site." Looking at Duan Qing with disdain, Fulla also followed through the ruins on the top of Falling Star Mountain.
Jian: "Just clean them all up."
"Amitabha, then I really prevented a lot of murders." Duan Qing, who also relaxed his mood and shuttled between the ruins on the top of the mountain, observed the surrounding ruins casually: "As a companion of the adventure group, I
I think I have an obligation to find more hobbies and specialties for you that are beneficial to mankind. Archeology and the pursuit of history may be a good direction...Ah, by the way, where were we talking about just now?"
"That prophecy."
"Ah, yes."
Pointing in the direction of the dilapidated stone steps that appeared among the ruins in front of him, Duan Qing also had a familiar feeling on his face: "Lingbing is our team's contact with Emperor Frei.
The most connected person is also the adventurer with the strongest sense of perception. She often sees things we cannot see and hears sounds we cannot hear during our adventure journey."
"Based on what she described to us, we may be more inclined to read it upside down." Duan Qing's tone unconsciously became serious when he said this: "That is, reading Tania's words upside down.
The survivors made a mistake in the order of interpretation of the prophecy, the last sentence should be the first sentence, and as for the content... it should also describe a part of the history that happened on this continent."
"Part of history?" Fulla followed closely and listened attentively: "So is it just a worthless narrative epic?"
"On the contrary, it is an epic with a very large amount of information." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "Considering the origin of the Tadayan people, it is very likely that the part that was originally called 'narrative' will become
The 'prophecy' part is the main reason why it can still be called a prophecy."
"They who came back from the future may just reveal to us everything they have experienced in a cryptic way."
Climbing the stone steps in front, Duan Qing took the lead and pointed around here: "If I remember correctly, this place seemed to have been used as the remains of an ancient library."
"It seems like there are a lot of names engraved on it."
"As expected of a dragon, his eyes are so good."
Looking in the direction where Fula was looking, Duan Qing scratched his head and recalled: "I remember that the names above were all very famous figures in history, or people who were strong enough to reach the sky. The last name was someone I don't know.
It was left by Emperor Frey who was here at that time, and there was another sentence left with it... uh, what is it?"
"Let's continue the topic just now." As if she had seen the last corner of the fragment of wall that Duan Qing was pointing at, Fula quickly turned back her eyes that had lost interest: "Why do the Tadayans use this kind of
A way to leave a message in a roundabout way?"
"There are many theories among us adventurers, such as 'Parallel World Flow', 'Irreversible Destiny', 'Equivalent Conversion Method' and so on. It is not appropriate to explain those things to you one by one." Let's go.
Duan Qing, who was climbing the stairs in front, was panting and talking about a lot of strange content: "To put it in simple and straightforward terms: in order to minimize my impact on the world line."
"Although I don't know what the Tadayans went through before they returned to us, and whether they have experimented with other methods, the methods they used on us are quite sophisticated."
It seemed that he had found traces of a battle. The gray-robed magician paused on the steps for a moment: "If it were me who traveled back to the past, I wouldn't use drastic means to forcefully change the timeline. Instead, I would use
Use subtle and other secret methods to quietly change the things you want to change."
"Although in terms of results, there is just an extra principality on the Free Continent out of thin air."
He smiled helplessly and pointed to the front of the scratch he found: "Is it possible here?"
"It seems that someone discovered it earlier than us." Fulla walked forward and closed her eyes for a moment, "I can feel the deep surge from here. This may be one of the eruptions... Well,
It must be someone who has been here before and absorbed part of it from here."
"As long as the magic structure is not destroyed." Duan Qing also nodded his head: "If there are large-scale changes in the magic structure, our plan may change again - let's get started."
"So according to normal historical development, the second largest country of your kind should not have appeared on the Free Continent, right?"
Pressing the golden shadow that appeared on her palm in the direction indicated by Duan Qing, Fula did not stop at the issue she wanted to discuss: "Based on my understanding of your human history, it was the principality that became the one who rebelled against the empire.
Gathered in the center, it eventually developed into a new human nation on this continent that rivals the Fleur Empire - is this also the result that the Tadayans want to see?"
"Probably... no, it's just my personal opinion." Duan Qing, who was also paying attention to the magic flow that Fula was straightening out at this time, answered the other party's questions distractedly: "The Tadayans should have foreseen some kind of despair.
That’s why they returned to this era at all costs. Ambition such as ‘unifying the continent’ is probably not their main purpose. They just want to stop the expansion of the Frey Empire.”
"There are two magic nodes that are lagging, I marked them."
"Ah? Oh oh."
Adapting to the other party's leaping speech, Duan Qing moved closer to the ruins showing the light golden light in Fula. The condensed runes were then imprinted with invisible magic flow along with his hands on the ground.
In the meantime, what Fula continued to talk about also sounded in his ears: "In other words, in another time stream in the past, the unilateral development of the Fleur Empire led to the demise of the entire continent? This is the explanation behind that prophecy
The truth? It’s really interesting.”
"We can even draw further inferences: These 'Tadaya' people from the future are very likely to be people from the Frei Empire - of course, thousands of years later." Duan Qing was already moving towards the next golden mark.
He walked out of the position and said: "Now due to the rise of the Principality of Elnifia and the development of the Council of Mages, everything has changed a lot. The only thing we need to confirm now is that the ancestors of these people were in the past.
What kind of doomsday do we see in the future?"
"According to the information we have available, this doomsday is likely to be related to the depletion of elements."
After pressing the second rune into the invisible depth of the ground, Duan Qing sighed sadly. Fulla, who was responsible for mobilizing magic energy, injected more golden magic light into the cracks in the wall in front of her, and her words also
It started to become less and less: "Is it... similar to the magic exhaustion phenomenon caused by the Magic Empire?"
"Probably not." Duan Qing answered in a much firmer tone than the last time: "We have already been in contact with the spring of elements once, and we are now above the theoretical second spring of elements. The monsoon on the continent of wind is more or less
It is still proving the existence of the spring of wind elements, but the presence of several other springs of elements has become very low."
"This may be a manifestation of what Wiggins calls 'element depletion'."
Still paying attention to whether there were any players nearby, Duan Qing walked back to Fula. The golden light around the latter became more and more obvious and intense above the windy ruins, mixed with the noise in the dragon lady's voice.
There seemed to be a hum of energy inside gradually appearing: "'The four stars are about to go out, the four emperors are about to light up'... Phew, the four stars should refer to the spring of elements, what does the remaining part mean?
Woolen cloth?"
"This should also be part of the 'narrative poem'. Since the previous parts have begun to become reality, then-"
boom!
A violent trembling sound suddenly appeared around the two people, suddenly interrupting the topic they were talking about. The crack in the ruins that was originally injected by Fulla also surged with a large amount of energy at this time, and the crack that Fulla had just returned
The hand pressing on it pushed away: "——It's an energy tide! Don't leave behind me!"
"How could this happen? Is this connection point really connected to the Spring of Elements?"
"Perhaps the two blocks just now should not be broken through. They are the insurance arranged by others here - prepare for protection! I am going to use emergency measures!"
"Wait a minute, this chaotic flow of magic power——"
Buzz.
Before Duan Qing could express his worries, the changes in the scene in his field of vision flashed in front of him as a golden light enveloped him. The gray-robed magician, whose heart was tight, only had time to support his protective spell on his body.
around, and then turned around under the increasingly clear light and shadow: "Are you okay?"
"...It's okay, it's just excessive energy consumption."
"That's good."
Putting down the movement of inspecting the weak-looking Fulla, Duan Qing turned his attention to the surroundings of the shield. The spherical space then squeezed the half-buried soil outside the empty shell of the shield they had just transferred, and at the same time,
The dappled sunshine mixed with lush green appeared above their heads: "Here——"
"Where is this?"
