Chapter 93: The Great Prophecy Technique (Part 2)
Great Prophecy?
Du Wei couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He had heard of the term, but not from any magical texts.
It's even possible that all the faithful on the entire continent know this term!
Great prophecy is not magic, nor sorcery. And no one has ever mastered it... That's an entirely impossible thing!
Because every temple believer has read at least one "Genesis", this "Genesis" is not a history book or historical material, but a completely hymn-like great divine scripture, similar to Du Wei's previous life's "Bible".
?
And God said, Let there be light.
And then there was light in the world.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And so, the world had sky and earth.
This is "Grand Prophecy"!
What God says with His mouth will become true! This is not magic! But the ability to create the world and open up the sky and the earth!
?
Has Aragorn mastered the "Greater Prophecy" already?
Even if Du Wei thought Aragon was very strong, he didn't believe it was true! Because Du Wei himself absolutely did not believe that the so-called "Great Prophecy" really existed! He thought this was just a trick of the temple to deceive those ignorant believers.
?
The old magician smiled as he looked at Du Wei, noticing the disbelieving expression on his face. The old man shook his head: "Not just you, I don't believe it either. That so-called 'Great Prophecy', I think it's impossible to exist. Or even if it does, it's been exaggerated too much. But I think Aragon may have actually mastered a real prophecy technique! He can predict events that will happen many years after his death!"
"I don't believe it." Du Wei raised his doubts again: "Prophecies? To be honest, I've studied astrology before. My enlightened teacher was a famous astrologer in the empire! Now all astrologers claim to have the ability to predict the future by observing changes in the stars, but in my opinion, most of them are just pretending to be mysterious."
I don't believe it!
He really doesn't believe it!
Astrology, which supposedly predicts the future from changes in the stars, is pure nonsense to Du Wei. Knowledge of past lives. He certainly knows what stars are! Those are individual star bodies in the universe!! Predicting the future? Bullshit!
"Aragon's prophecy and so-called astrology have nothing to do with each other! But I can prove that he indeed possessed the ability of prophecy!" The old magician's expression was serious: "This is the evidence! This thing in my hand is Aragon's last will and testament, written in his own blood before he died! I know you don't believe me now! Before I found this thing, I didn't believe it either! But after seeing this... never mind, I won't say anything more. You'll understand once you see it!"
As he spoke, the old magician handed this thing to Du Wei and added a sentence: "I have been studying everything about Aragon all my life! I can confirm 100% that this is indeed Aragon's own handwriting! Whether it's the font or the age of this thing, I've done a lot of identification!"
With an attitude of absurdity and complete distrust, Du Wei opened the sheepskin scroll... then... one minute...
No, just half a minute later, Du Wei was completely stunned!
He sat on the spider's back, as if he had been petrified like a Medusa statue, his face was filled with shock, even... fear!
Really!
All of this... is actually true!!
This letter of prophecy was written by Aragorn himself in a hasty scrawl, as if it had been written with his own finger dipped in fresh blood.
Content, divided into two paragraphs.
After reading the first paragraph, Du Wei's inner doubts were completely overturned!
"My bloodline will wither away, my brothers will replace my bloodline. Though they are foolish and timid. Though they think they have obtained glory. But the outcome is not so. The young man from the Eastern Plains will rise up, he has obtained my glory, obtained the person who inherited my glorious legacy, will protect this empire. However, he also is not the last messenger."
This...
Du Wei's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't utter a single word from his throat!
This... this is actually...
It's true! It's a prophecy! It's truly a prophecy!!!!!
Aragon-Rolland, before his death, surprisingly left behind nearly
Were all the things that happened in the past thousand years predicted?!!
The Aragonese bloodline withered away, the thorny flower dynasty came to an end. His brother's descendants took over the throne, that so-called glorious dynasty ultimately ended in decline!
After a long time, Du Wei finally came back to his senses, he took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the old magician. The old magician was smiling at him with a smile on his face: "Your expression is the same as when I first saw this thing."
Then he stretched out his hand to point at several key phrases on the paper: "You see 'Rise of the Eastern Plains Youngster, Protecting the Empire', Du Wei, I know you're good at history, you should know that now the Augustus dynasty, the emperor who revived the empire back then was originally the Duke of Augustus, right? The fiefdom of the Duke of Augustus is precisely in the eastern plains of the empire, isn't it? Now, you should believe it, these are true, aren't they?"
Du Wei swallowed hard and glanced at Hussein beside him, only to find that this proud and aloof knight was also shocked beyond recognition.
"Take a look at the second paragraph again, young one!" The old magician said with a smile, but his eyes were very deep and seemed to see through Du Wei's heart!
"Second paragraph..."
Du Wei took a deep breath and continued to read on. If the first paragraph was shocking, then the second paragraph brought Du Wei a kind of deep fear!
"...the one who truly inherited my will is the young man who emerged from the giant turtle, bearing the horns bestowed by the demon, and received the protection of the last knight on the continent. He is fortunate, he will follow in my footsteps all the way north, in the north, he will gain the loyalty of Medusa, the help of the divine beast, and finally, he will find the legacy I left behind, when he pulls out the King's Sword that I left behind, then..."
Du Wei's heart was racing and his breathing quickened as he read the words on the sheepskin paper up to this point, but there was nothing after that. He couldn't help but ask anxiously: "What happens next?"
He held the parchment in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, only to find that the end of the text was exactly what he had seen before. There should be some text behind, unfortunately, this piece of parchment seemed to be a fragment, the back part was broken, the edge showed a jagged shape, as if it had been gnawed by something.
"What's behind?" Du Wei asked in a low voice.
"...that's all there is." The old magician's face was peculiar: "Don't forget, I found this thing in a tomb! When I found it, that's all there was left of it."
"Wait, you're saying: what's left?" Du Wei's eyes widened.
The old magician also had a look of helplessness on his face. He spread out his hands and sighed: "In the tomb, this thing was originally placed in a wooden box. But when I found it, the box already had a hole in it. Unexpectedly, I found a dead mouse inside the box. Apparently, the latter part of it had been bitten off by the mouse."
Mouse?
Du Wei suddenly felt like cursing loudly at the sky!
Mouse? Something so important... those crucial words and key phrases in the back... were actually gnawed away by a mouse?!
"Damn mouse! Heaven and earth damn mouse!!" Du Wei couldn't help but curse loudly!
In her arms, transformed into a mouse, Gigi struggled to poke the mouse's head out a bit, and asked in a timid voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"
But as soon as the mouse's head poked out, it felt Du Wei and Hussein's eyes full of murderous intent falling on its body, scaring it to quickly retreat back into hiding, never daring to show its face again.
Du Wei was left speechless... a mouse? It had actually been eaten by a mouse...
The old magician was very calm, after all, he had seen this thing countless times. He looked at Du Wei and said in a serious tone: "Now, you know why I insisted on bringing you here, don't you? Now, you know why I won't let you go back, don't you?"
Du Wei was silent.
"In the north." The old magician pointed firmly ahead, facing the cold wind. His eyes were fixed: "Right in front! All the way to the north, didn't you ask me what's there? I can tell you now, there is Aragorn's legacy left behind, and a king's sword he left behind! If the prophecy is true, everything is true, then only you can pull out that sword!"
Get Aragonese heritage?
Draw out the sword of kings?
The "Chosen One" in Aragon prophecy?
Du Wei suddenly felt an urge to pinch himself: Was he dreaming?
