Seeing Red's gloomy look, Ryan enlightened him and said, "Everything has its pros and cons, and that's okay. But I heard you say that Master Ibel's health is very bad now. I remember when I saw him last year, his My mental state is still very good, and there seems to be no problem with my body. Could it be that this demon became like this after only being used once?"
Reid explained: "This great prophecy is not a simple attack on demons. It uses the power of God to change the laws of the world, so that the operation of everything is more in line with the requirements of the caster, such as a If you are a strong warrior, then use the great prophecy to deprive him of his power, so that he can cause no harm to himself. For example, a fire magician can forcibly cut off his connection with the fire element, and the magic energy can be gathered naturally. There’s no way to *release the demon*.”
"Of course, the changes made by this magic are only temporary, but even just a few seconds are enough to change the outcome of the battle." Reid continued: "In normal times, this great prophecy can be used Do other things, for example, it is impossible for everyone to know what will happen in the future, but through this magic, you can temporarily modify the rules, predict the future, and simply predict what will happen in the future. Of course, doing so will Paying a heavy price usually consumes the life of the caster, which is also the biggest reason why my teacher's health is getting worse and worse."
"Ah." Both Ryan and Alando knew about this for the first time, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Red's words.
Reid continued to explain: "As the Archbishop of the Church of Light, one of their most important things is to prepare for a rainy day, try their best to understand some clues before a huge crisis occurs, and then think of ways to prepare in advance to avoid the most terrible outcome. Appear."
"When *Lasi and I left the imperial capital to go on an adventure, my teacher made such a prophecy, which consumed a full ten years of his life."
"What are the predictions?" Ryan couldn't help interrupting Red and interjecting: "If you can know what will happen in the future, doesn't it mean that you can avoid these things from happening, such as the Senat rebellion? Just mobilize the army to defeat him before he rebels."
Red shook his head slowly, and Allendo spoke: "I think this is impossible, Ryan, the great elders in our tribe also have similar abilities. It is said that they can communicate with animals and plants, and know in advance some upcoming events." A disaster has occurred, but how can we know the specific location and scale of the disaster, that is, we can take some precautions in advance so that we will not be in a hurry when the time comes."
"Yes." Reid nodded firmly and said: "Even the God of Light cannot predict everything. Otherwise, when fighting the demons, just attack the opponent's vital points directly, and it will not last for tens of thousands of years. , my teacher only knew some simple things that would happen in the future, and those statements were all vague. If you look at them carefully, you will find that there are many possibilities. Only when they really happen can you suddenly realize and understand those things. What exactly does the statement mean?”
"Can you tell me what you predicted?" Ryan asked,
"Yes, but I only know a few sentences. My teacher doesn't like me having too much contact with this aspect." Reid thought about it and said:
"The ancient mission has new surprises,
The angry beast flaps its ugly wings,
The blazing fire conceals the myth-breaking miracle,
A beating heart can never* change the final fate,
Green enemies bring endless killing,
The resurrected devil begins a new reincarnation. "
At this point, Reid scratched his head and added a few words: "I can't guarantee that this sequence is correct, and this is not the complete content."
Ryan and Allen carefully savored the prophecies Red said. They always felt that what happened before seemed to be connected a little bit. However, as long as they considered it carefully and deeply from all aspects, they found that it did not seem to be the case. Absolutely correct. After about thirty minutes, Ryan and Alando gave up the idea of deciphering these prophecies.
"Oh, there's no difference between this and not saying anything." Ryan sighed and said, "It's better not to say it, so as not to worry about it."
Reid shrugged his shoulders and replied: "At least, when you really understand the content of these prophecies afterwards, you will definitely have a feeling of worship for the god who made these prophecies. Isn't that a disguised proof of God's power?" Great and prophetic."
Ryan can afford to take it up and let it go. Since he can't understand it, he won't think about it anymore. Besides, since he left his hometown, he has participated in many adventures, big and small. In the end, it is not all based on his own strength step by step. For Ryan, those adventures have improved his strength, and after improving his strength, he can take more dangerous and exciting adventures.
If Ryan had known that he would meet Senat in Giethoorn, he would face a lich when he went to the Elmida Mine, he would get into many tough battles when participating in competitive competitions, he would meet Alexander by following the Six Arrows, and he would start a killing spree when he went to the Thunder God Fortress. , there is no doubt that Ryan will be fully prepared beforehand, but in this way, he will naturally not fight on the edge of life and death. How can he improve his strength so quickly, and that kind of outing is like What's the point of adventure
"Forget it, we won't worry here anymore." Ryan stood up and said: "We don't have enough time now, so let's go see Master Ibel first and complete our mission."
"Okay." Red and Alando agreed together, and stood up at the same time. Red said, "I will lead the way." After that, he walked in front,
Master Ibel's resting place was in a very remote courtyard. If Red hadn't led the way, Ryan would never have thought that the Archbishop of the Church of Light actually lived here. There were no decorations in the entire courtyard, not even a tree. The seed is so bare,
Red pushed open the door of the room in the middle of the yard and was the first to walk in. Ryan followed Red and also entered the house. It was dark inside, which was normal. After all, it was getting late now, and the house There was no light source in the room. Reid seemed to be very familiar with this place. With the help of some light coming from the door, he fumbled around the table for a while and lit a candle as thick as an arm. The whole room suddenly became bright.
When Red lit the candle, Ryan closed his eyes slightly. After a few seconds, Ryan felt that he had adapted to the process from darkness to light, and then he opened his eyes, and what he saw was a There was an ordinary bed with an old man lying on it. His hair, beard and eyebrows were all white, and his face was covered with wrinkles. It was impossible to tell what he looked like.
Ryan was a little hesitant. Although he said he was here to see Master Ibel, as an archbishop, he actually lived in such a place, and there was nothing he could do about the old man lying on his bed* and the archbishop he had met. On a par with that, at least during the Royal Athletic Competition, this Master Ibel brought a warm feeling of spring, but the one in front of me can only remind people of the bleak deep winter.
"You are here." The old man in front of him suddenly spoke. His voice had entered Ryan's ears, and Ryan gave up those hesitations, because the voice was still so calm, so kind, and still able to make people laugh. Like a spring breeze, yes, the only one who can give Ryan this feeling is Master Ibel.
Reid sat on the edge of the bed, held Master Ibell's wrinkled, dry palm with both hands, and said softly: "Yes, teacher, I'm here, along with Ryan and Alando."
"Hello, Master Ibel." Ryan and Alando also said hello to Master Ibel respectively. However, seeing Master Ibel lying on the bed, everyone sympathized with each other and did not use the words commonly used in greetings. , such as how are you feeling
"Haha, counting the time, it's time for you to come." Master Ibel's tone was neither sad nor happy, as if everything that happened to him didn't exist: "Red, help me sit up."
Red quickly stood up, then helped Ibel up and leaned against the bed. Ibel looked at the chairs next to the table, motioned for Ryan and the others to sit down, and then said, "Time flies so fast, I still Remember those adventures decades ago. Speaking of which, Ryan, your teacher and I are still old friends, but now it’s you and Red. Alas, as a priest, you have to endure loneliness. I watched my comrades brandishing weapons and charging into the battle or unleashing magic power to bombard them wildly, but I could only stand at the back to bless the magic power and treat the injuries. It would be absolutely uncomfortable for anyone."
"Ah, it turns out that you feel the same way, teacher. I thought I was the only one who felt it." Red interjected,
"Haha, of course. Otherwise, how could I have thought of returning to the Cathedral of San Nebiro, controlling "Praise of Light", and possessing that powerful prophecy? Delanai is right, I am not suitable to be a priest. I should be a warrior."
"God of light, it turns out that you and I have the same aspirations, teacher." Reid laughed out loud: "I have always regretted that I should not have followed you. The priest is really not suitable for me. In fact, I have always wanted to Follow Orlando to practice the Cavaliers' abilities, but it's a pity... "
"You, I'm afraid you are doing it to be more popular." Master Ibel said with a smile: "If you find another profession that can attract others' attention, you will definitely change professions."
"Well, don't be so straightforward." Red scratched his head and said, "It's good to know what's going on. My friends are all listening."
Everyone laughed together, but Ibel's laughter soon turned into a cough. Red quickly slapped his back and asked him to calm down the breath. Ibel shook his head and said, "As people get older, I can’t even say a few more words.”
"No way, you can live for at least a few hundred more years." Reid complimented,
Ibel burst out laughing and said, "You think I am a lich? I can still live for hundreds of years. It's amazing that humans can live to be 100 years old. Elves with relatively long lifespans are only about 200 years old. I can live to 100 years old." I am very satisfied now, after you know that I have used God’s prophecies a lot over the years.”
When Ryan and the other three saw Ibel bringing up the topic, they immediately knew that the archbishop had something very important to say, so they stopped joking and sat down quietly.
