Wilson looked at Teller's gentle smile under the moonlight, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he glanced at the mysterious fog covering the window, then turned back to look at the sleepy Teller, and said calmly
"After you came back, a lot of things happened in the college."
Looking at Wilson's not-so-relaxed expression, Terrell also understood what their encounter in the woodland foreshadowed.
The presence of a large number of [Demolition] members in the woods of the academy was something that was enough to shake the Light Tower, not to mention that they almost killed core figures such as the president of the reading club and the deputy leader of Ethereal Flower. Presumably this matter will bring considerable side effects to the current light tower, he sighed slightly and replied with a wry smile
"So what happened professor?"
"The fifth era has begun."
The fifth era? This was not the first time that Trail had heard this term. It was also in that strange book. But what puzzled him was not the term itself, but Wilson's way of narrating it at this moment.
Generally speaking, the way to divide an era is that people will realize that they have entered a new era after an event that affects the world occurs and the dust has basically settled, and it will be defined by future generations.
But at this moment, Wilson seemed to know that the era was coming, and even understood the way it would come. This was very concerning, and he asked with a slight frown
"Why do you say that?"
"When the light tower is no longer an absolute shelter, when the dark side emerges again, the fate of the world begins to shift, all battles will surface, and the unknown fifth era will follow. This has been known since a long time ago
A prophecy that has been passed down to this day, and now it has been fulfilled again."
Teller's eyes were a little strange and he asked with some confusion
"Again?"
In the darkness, Ari slowly leaned out from behind Wilson and narrated calmly
"When darkness engulfs the earth, when the gods are in chaos, infinite greed and terrible wars will return to the earth, and the chaotic Third Age will take over the world.
When the gods come and the dust-covered locks are discovered, everything will sink into the earth again, and the swallowed seeds will be deeply integrated into the soil. But when the light shines on the earth, please don’t forget that the darkness has never left, and the hypocritical first
The Fourth Era will deceive the world until a turning point comes.
This was the description of the Third Age and the Fourth Age, and it was realized one by one at that time.
In the Third Age, the world ushered in war. In addition to internal chaos, human beings also had constant wars with various races. It was at this time that Demolition began to emerge. As a church force, the Judgment Army also used violence to crush everything. The Light Tower was in that era
It does not represent protection, but an iron fist.
Until the gods came to the world and the diversified sequence power was confirmed, various churches began to gather their strength to build bridges with their absolute strength and common believers among various ethnic groups, reached relative peace, suppressed the war at that time, and prevented
The continuation of the war. And it was at this time that the demolition of the sculptures mysteriously disappeared into the war, and everything got back to normal, ushering in a long-lasting peace."
Wilson continued after Ari's words
"But the top leaders of the Light Tower always remember the words of the prophecy and are wary of the hidden dangers. This is also the opportunity for the birth of Ecohim Academy."
Looking at the faint light of the light tower in the mysterious fog, Wilson sighed and continued with some irony
"It's just that I don't think they thought that the first battlefield of the Fifth Era would show its edge in the academy."
Teller was still a little confused when he listened to the history in Ari's mouth and Wilson's explanation.
"Does it contain no record of the First and Second Ages?"
Wilson listened to Trailer's question, but smiled and shook his head, and said jokingly
"This is what I'm confused about, but I don't know the answer. Maybe they don't have much meaning and were ignored by the world when they were circulated."
Trail looked at Wilson's expression of amusement, thought about his experience in the woods, and asked tentatively
"Professor Wilson, do you know the existence of the ruins?"
As soon as the word "relics" came out, Wilson's eyes flashed instantly and he waved his hand to Ari behind him.
Ai Rui also waved his hand and quickly dived into the shadows consciously.
Teller was stunned for a moment
"Actually, you don't have to ask Ari to leave, I don't mind."
Wilson raised his eyebrows and continued what Terrell said before.
"I know."
Looking at Wilson's unexpectedly calm reaction.
An incomprehensible silence spread between the two.
Teller noticed the atmosphere but smiled evilly, imitating Wilson's usual tone and asked
"Do you really not ask anything?"
He was stunned for a moment, took a breath, and imitated Teller's previous tone.
"You wouldn't tell me if I asked, right? And knowing that, I can't do anything about it. It will only make myself more anxious and at a loss."
The two looked at each other quietly, and the atmosphere was silent again, but was suddenly broken by a burst of laughter.
The atmosphere of joy and nostalgia instantly broke the somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
"Okay, I just wanted to respond to your interesting performance. I'm really curious about what you know in the ruins."
"Actually, I am also confused about the first and second eras, but what you just said gave me inspiration."
"Those prophecies passed down by word of mouth?"
"Yes, what do you think about the first sentence describing the third era? Professor."
"Is that a metaphor?"
"No, I'm afraid it's not that abstract. Maybe that's why the First and Second Era are so mysterious. Do you know the South of the World? Professor Wilson."
Listening to this strange term, Wilson frowned slightly and thought
"The south of the world? Are you talking about the void sea?"
"No, it's the soil further south in the Sea of Nothingness, which disappeared at the end of the Second Era."
"Although I don't know where you heard it from, but even so, I don't see any inevitable connection."
Terrell looked at the confused Wilson, smiled superiorly and told his lie
"Of course you have contacted my dear teacher, and you have been to that land!"
Listening to Terrell's strange words, Wilson muttered thoughtfully
"Have I been there??"
Frowning slightly, he said tentatively
"Could it be that the south of the world you said is woodland? But if that's the case..."
Thinking back to those weird features in the woodland, it's not that Wilson has never thought about it this way, but the time has never been right.
In Wilson's mind, the academy is a product of the Fourth Age, but now the information brought by Terrell has corrected the information at this moment!
"Did the academy exist in the third era!!!"
"No, the academy does not necessarily exist in the third era."
"But if that's not the case, wouldn't it be a contradiction?"
Teller smiled slightly and his eyes darkened
"Although I really want to say that in this world, self-contradiction is the most reasonable expression. But what I just said is not contradictory. It's just that your preconceived notions have misled you, Professor."
Wilson's head felt hot and his pupils twitched
"Preconception...you mean...the academy is built on woodland!"
He took another deep breath and said in disbelief
"Could it be said that history has been swallowed up!!"
