"Have you heard that recently, the land in some border areas of our country seems to have experienced desertification one after another..."
"I have an impression. I guess it was a problem caused by some [arcanist] when doing magic experiments..."
"I think so too..."
in similar conversations.
A certain [Grand Arcanist] who not long ago quelled a border rebellion with a single shot of [Nonar Fireball Technique] and turned the opponent and the entire fortress into a large bonfire, entered the city calmly
.
He went straight to the central area and reported the situation to [Iolum].
"The rebellion has been eliminated, and the opponent's strength is too weak to pose a threat."
"But the [Magic Power] and [Vitality] in the target land have dried up in large areas for unknown reasons..."
Listen to the other party’s report.
[Iolum], did not underestimate the problem, he paid attention to it directly, and his face looked extremely solemn.
"Thank you for your hard work, please go to the hall and enjoy the banquet that has been prepared..."
As the [Grand Arcanist] with the highest spellcasting level in the entire [Kingdom of Netheril].
After pushing the opponent away.
[Iolem] immediately began to use the [Spells] of the [Prophecy System], intending to find out the hidden source of the problems in the intelligence.
but.
It was as if it was completely covered by something.
No matter how hard you try.
The future he saw was just a vague afterimage.
There is no logic or correlation.
It was as if, somewhere in the dark, there was a curtain blocking his sight!
final.
After trying many times.
After confirming for a while, he couldn't solve the problem at all.
A spiritual message was randomly sent to another [Grand Arcanist].
After spending a little money, I plan to borrow something from the other party to enhance the effect of my own [prophecy spell] and forcefully break through the factors that hinder the effectiveness of my own spell.
As for why it costs money?
As the nominal supreme commander in the Kingdom of Netheril.
Although he has great power.
But in fact, in this [parliamentary] country, all [Grand Arcanists] are essentially equal.
so.
In many cases, necessary respect is essential!
Just like before, he would hold a grand banquet to entertain the [Grand Arcanist] who came to report the situation!
—————
Several months passed by in a flash.
After successfully borrowing key things and collecting a large amount of precious spell-casting materials, he combined them into a special ritual to enhance his own related spells.
[Iolum] once again started to cast [Prophecy Spell].
And this time.
After going through many twists and turns.
[Prophecy Spell] was finally successfully activated...
In that somewhat blurry perspective.
His vision was just like that of an ordinary person sitting on a high-speed train and looking at things outside.
The scenes he saw were all moving rapidly in his eyes...
Moreover, countless noises and swarms of crazy bees appeared, constantly lingering and noisy in his ears.
I don't know how long it took.
It might be just a moment, or it might be dozens of minutes.
His chaotic perspective and hearing finally became stable.
However, it seemed to be split, divided into several perspectives, presenting him with many different scenes at the same time.
Among them, there is a scene of some unknown and strange life form with a strange shape, which is quickly shuttled in the dark land.
There were also massacres and battles.
The protagonists in those scenes were humans wearing [Netherese-style clothing] and the kind of strange life forms that constantly shuttled through the soil.
The battle situation was extremely tragic!
Full of explosions, war cries, bright lights...
In a daze, [Iolum] even felt that he smelled the strong smell of blood...
Then, after he barely adapted to the change in perspective.
His perspective gradually became unified.
It was also at this time.
[Iolum] realized that he was already standing in a vast desert.
The sky is full of yellow sand.
It is flying freely here.
Then, above his head, there was an unprecedented huge movement.
And when he looked there!
After seeing the scene there clearly, his originally calm expression could no longer be maintained.
Binocular.
Unconsciously, he started to stare...
Because, he saw towering [Floating Cities] one after another, like crumbling beach fortresses, rapidly decomposing and falling in the sky...
In that crazy howling wind.
He didn't just smell blood in the air.
I also heard a lot of noise coming from above.
Those were the cries of countless [Floating City] residents in a helpless situation as they fell rapidly from the sky...
Then, under his gaze.
Countless gravels, earthy-smelling soil, exquisite residential buildings, towering magic towers... and even various livestock and humans...
They were like raindrops falling from the sky.
Quickly, one after another, they hit the ground...
On top of the dusty ruins.
The dazzling blood-red graffiti is blooming continuously...
It's like the devil's art...
From time to time, there were still some stumps and broken arms, which were dropped at [Iolum]'s feet.
With just a brief glance, [Iolum] could clearly see the fact that the flesh, flesh and bones wrapped in those skins had already been shattered...
Fuzzy red slurry is constantly overflowing from it...
While dyeing the earth red.
It also made [Iolum]'s heart slowly sink.
With a dull expression, he raised his head again and looked at the sky above, where the rest of the [Sky City] continued to fall...
He understands.
[The Kingdom of Netheril] should be entering destruction.
The glory is about to come to an end...
"Is this the future I'm waiting for..."
"Although I had expected it for a long time, such a tragic scene made me feel that it was a bit beyond expectations..."
The emotions contained in it are extremely complex, and there are many strong doubts!
For example: I am wondering about the unknown race that is the enemy of the [Kingdom of Netheril] among the two warring parties...
[Iolum] simply doesn’t understand why the other party came to the [Kingdom of Netheril].
As the manager of the entire kingdom, he really didn't know where the other party came from, let alone where the hatred between the two parties came from, which would lead to such a fierce fight...
