Exclamations rang out in this simple room inside the high tower of the Uzza Temple.
Looking at that figure, Atal's extremely old face was filled with excitement, shock, and a little fear, "The prophecy, the prophecy has come true..."
In response to the reaction of Great Elder Atal, the three people who had just walked in stopped. Peacock and Mo Qing were about to make the salute gestures in Usa Town, but their hands were only halfway extended.
He had to look at the nightmare man with doubts.
Only his robes are slightly tattered here, and only he is wearing a white mask.
"Wise Balzai..." Atal murmured.
At this moment, some calculations flashed through Gu Jun's mind.
Along the way, the town of Usa is real, the farmhouses, town buildings, residents and cats all show it. The temple is also real, its antiquity and the people who visit it show it. This is unlikely to be a peacock.
What game did they set up?
The great elder said that he was the guest in the prophecy, but was there any other content in that prophecy? Would he become a guest or be expelled immediately?
If you are a distinguished guest, no matter what the identities of Peacock and his gang are, as long as you can rely on Atal, you can get away from them and even find out their details.
Gu Jun had received training in psychology, and he could see that Atal was frightened but not disgusted... He made a prompt decision, took a step forward, and said, "I met the sage Barce not long ago."
He said this in Chinese, thinking that only Atal could understand what it meant.
"You..." Peacock's expression changed, Mo Qing also frowned, and the nightmare man who had been mute for three days suddenly spoke.
Even though they had long suspected that this strange man could make sounds, for the past three days, he had either babbling or talking with his eyeballs.
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Peacock asked in a low voice.
Gu Jun ignored her. It didn't matter whether they understood or what they thought. Now he had to take control of the situation. He looked at Atal, who was even more stunned, and said: "Balce is on the white boat to pick up the ferry."
People from all over the world, I talked to him a lot on the boat."
"I have known for a long time that the sage Balcai is not dead." The expression on Atal's old face kept changing, but his voice was still muttering: "His soul cannot rest in peace because of prayers. Why bother to make meaningless prayers! The sage Balcai,
His soul was imprisoned on the white ship..."
"Mr. Atal." Gu Jun said again in a deep voice, "Balse asked me to bring you a message. You can surpass the gods of the earth with your wisdom and will, but you can't fight against greater power. If you take one look at that kind of power, you will
You'll fall into an endless nightmare. 'Don't look this way,' Balcer said."
At that time, he did not understand what the words "Don't look this way" in the vision meant. Now he thought that it happened while climbing Mount Khatig-Kora, and that Balsa's last wailing was addressed to Atal.
"Ah..." Atal suddenly had a complicated look on his face and sat back on the ivory podium, "The man in rags is indeed, indeed..."
In the surrounding Uzzah, Neel, Hatig, and as far away as Dilas-Lin, only one person knew what happened that year and what words Balsa shouted.
That's him Attar.
"Go back, don't look here!" Balcer's horrifying wailing and terrifying thunder were still in his ears. At that time, he closed his eyes tightly, covered his ears, and jumped from a position near the top of the mountain, falling to the bottom of the mountain.
On the snow. That height should have killed him, but he survived unscathed.
For years, he told no one about Balzai's wails.
"The tattered man." Atal looked at the ragged figure again, with a bit of respect in his eyes and a bit choked up in his voice: "Is Balcer okay?"
"He still remembers everything." Gu Jun said, "It's just that he has his own destiny."
Mo Qing was stunned to see the peacock next to him. Apart from cats, Atal, the most respected temple elder in the whole Usa Town, stood up and invited the Nightmare Man aside and asked him to sit down on a wooden chair.
, asked: "Ragged man, why did you come?"
Suddenly, the situation here completely changed, and Atal seemed to still want to listen to the Nightmare Man.
"Mr. Atal, you'd better receive your two guests first." Gu Jun sat down on the chair and said. He didn't want to retaliate, but just wanted to understand the situation. He specifically said: "Although I am traveling with them, I am not familiar with them.
, nor did they come with the same purpose."
"Oh?" Atal thought those two people were his servants. He looked over after hearing this, "Young man, why are you here?"
After a brief moment of confusion, both Peacock quickly adjusted to face this new situation.
"Mr. Nightmare Man." Peacock looked at the person on the chair first, but did not dare to look deeply into those empty eyes. "No matter what you are talking about, we do not mean any harm."
She then continued to complete the unfinished gift to Atal, introduced herself and Mo Qing, and then said:
"We are all practitioners of the "Seven Secrets of the Earth". Although this book comes from our clan, due to many reasons such as its original lack, people often say that the sage Balcer is its best practitioner.
It's you, Elder Attar. It is said that the sage Balzai has also studied the "Nakt Codex" that exists in the bitter cold land of Lomar, and the "Nakt Codex" plays a key role in understanding the "Seven Secrets of the Earth".
"
After listening to this, Gu Jun learned more...
"Rumors, the "Nakt Codex" is just a rumor." Atal had regained his composure, "There is no such book."
"Great Elder, our tribe needs this knowledge very much." Peacock said calmly, "They are suffering, and it is not easy for us to get here."
"The 'Earth Gods' we are talking about..." Atal said something else, "They are just secular gods, not really gods, but they are protected by other more powerful gods, and
Those gods... you and I are both mortals, and we should not discuss those powers. But it is these powers that bring suffering to your people, and what you are looking for is suffering."
Gu Jun listened and thought to himself, so the so-called "gods of the earth" are not more powerful than the "Old Dominators".
Maybe it's an existence like the Son of Doom?
"Elder Atal, Mr. Nightmare Man." Peacock looked at them, "I implore you to listen to me tell me what happened to my people before making a decision."
"No, no matter what happens..." Atal was saying, but Gu Jun said: "Let them talk, it doesn't hurt to listen."
Of course, the language can be understood, but the inner thoughts will not be revealed. Raleye believers can also say that their own people are suffering, but let's listen first.
Atal sighed softly and let them talk. Peacock frowned and started talking.
