Chapter 36: The Prophecy Picture
Bernadette was silent for two seconds, and through the "invisible servant", responded:
"Uncle Edwards, why are you here?"
She used her own name from her youth to reduce the chance of unnecessary accidents.
Her voice reverberated through the "invisible servant" in the air around her, dry, dull, and completely different from her normal state.
Edwards' face was pale, as if he had just crawled out of the graveyard, without a trace of temperature:
"I don't know.
"I woke up one point and found myself back on the island.
"This may be my fate, the fate of guarding His Majesty. ”
Every time he said a word, he would pause, but he didn't give people a feeling of being out of breath, as if he hadn't opened his mouth for a long time, so that his throat was "rusty" and he didn't feel very comfortable.
Without waiting for Bernadette to ask, the knight, who was famous in the continent more than a hundred years ago, added in a tone without any ups and downs:
"His Majesty's mausoleum is nearby.
"I've been guarding this place until He is resurrected.
However, after so many years, the mausoleum has not changed.
"There has been no sign of resurrection. ”
Bernadette asked the "invisible servant" to look around and said:
"This wooden house is where you live. ”
Edwards' bare skin was slightly shriveled, matching his pre-existing age spots, and he replied in a low voice:
"Yes.
"I built this house out of the surrounding trees. ”
Bernadette's "invisible servant" looked in the direction he had come and said:
"Uncle William, they're not with you?"
Edwards' indifferent eyes moved:
"They have long been polluted and have died.
"Now they are alive again, but they are closer to a kind of monster than to the original person.
"Your Royal Highness, you have to watch out for them and avoid them.
"Except for Benjamin and me, no one else can be trusted. ”
Bernadette was silent for a while, and then asked through the "invisible servant":
"Where is my father's grave? I want to see it. ”
Edwards' neck moved slightly stiffly:
"Good. ”
He then walked step by step to the wooden house, and took out a rusty iron-black axe from it.
"I'll take you. Edwards said as he looked at the "invisible servant" that should not be seen normally.
In the process, his expression was dull, and almost nothing changed.
"Good. Bernadette responded at the edge of the forest, and with the help of the Invisible Servant, a dry, dull voice echoed around her.
Edwards, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall and looked a little thin at this time, carried his axe and walked to the rear area of the wooden house step by step, and said in a tone that did not rise or fall significantly:
"It's close.
"Be careful on the road. ”
Bernadette immediately took control of the "Invisible Servant" and kept it right behind Edwards, who was dressed in luxurious clothing.
Walking through the primeval forest one after the other, Bernadette suddenly asked the "invisible servant" to ask:
"Uncle Edwards, what did you worship in that clearing before?"
Edwards didn't look back, and the pace remained almost consistent:
"Your Majesty. ”
Bernadette, who was at least two kilometers behind him and the "invisible servant", immediately raised her eyebrows, and it took nearly three seconds to control her emotions.
Through the "invisible servant", she continued to ask without the slightest emotion:
"Uncle William, they're worshipping him too?"
Edwards' footsteps paused, but he kept his back to the "invisible servant" and the "peeping eyes"
"Nope. ”
He slowed down as if thinking about the answer:
"I don't know what they're worshipping......"
Bernadette's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she saw a slight change in the river of fate.
She didn't ask any more questions, and let the "invisible servant" sit quietly behind Edwards, walking among the huge dark green trees and deep black sharp bushes towards the island's peaks.
In four or five minutes, the trees in front of me disappeared all at once.
It is not a gradual transition from dense to sparse until the blank disappears, but is bounded by an invisible line, and the huge trees disappear abruptly.
Beyond that invisible boundary is a mountain peak, several hundred meters high, and above it is also covered with huge trees that are dark green and almost black, so that when viewed from a distance, it almost merges with the forest, and it is difficult to distinguish from each other.
However, the side of the mountain facing Edwards and Bernadette was mostly treeless because the mountain had been hollowed out in half.
In the middle of the mountain, a black mausoleum stands there, extremely magnificent.
Most of it belongs to the mountains themselves, and a small part has traces of artificial construction and polishing, which truly explains what it means to "take the mountain as a mausoleum".
Therefore, the shape of this mausoleum is not the usual pyramid-shaped, but more like a towering mountain, not symmetrical, but absolutely majestic.
It is not known if the mausoleum itself was affected, or if Edwards had cleaned it up, and it did not grow a single weed on its surface, nor did it cover the vines that were common in the rest of the mountain.
This allowed Bernadette to directly see the various words and symbols inscribed on the mausoleum through the "peeping eye", and to see the heavy stone door that seemed to be prepared for the giant, nearly thirty meters high.
Bernadette was no stranger to those words and symbols, and with a cursory glance, she recognized them either from the Civil Code formulated and promulgated by her father, or from the new social trends he founded, or directly from the blueprints of some inventions.
As Bernadette scrutinized, Crane above the gray mist was completely sure that this was the last tomb left by Russell the Great.
This is somewhat similar to the mausoleum he saw in the ruins of Tudor, with the majesty and distortion of the "Black Emperor".
After walking out of the primeval forest, through the invisible boundary, and not far from the mausoleum, Edwards stopped.
He half-turned his body, aimed his pale face and indifferent eyes at the "invisible servant", and said in a voice that did not change:
"Don't go in.
"That will interrupt the ...... of the resurrection"
Bernadette frowned slightly, thought for two seconds, and with the help of the "Voyeur Eye", locked the mausoleum.
Then, her blue eyes, like the sea, suddenly became extremely deep, like the surface of the sea before a storm.
In this case, she obviously lost focus, and her eyes were blank.
She's peering into the river of fate, prophesying what to do next.
Above the gray mist, Klein tapped the mottled table again, magnifying her chances of success and preparing to fight the starry pollution.
Of course, the latter is not necessary, as Bernadette has a "0" level seal on her body that she can control.
The next second, Bernadette raised her right hand.
Her skin suddenly turned as white as snow, her lips as red as blood, and her hair as black as ebony.
In her hand there was an illusory, ancient mirror.
This is the "Snow White" of fairy tale magic, and Bernadette uses it to improve the success rate and accuracy of her "predictions".
Silently, she "saw" a scene:
The majestic and majestic dark mausoleum shook visibly, and the heavy and tall stone door opened.
Then, a huge black arm stretched out of the stone door.
The size of the arm was close to that of the trees on the island, and in terms of color and state, it looked more like a part of a shadow, but it was not a thin layer, but filled with flesh and blood, which was extremely strange.
It propped itself up on the ground with its elbows and struggled forward, as if trying to pull out the larger, more terrifying parts that followed.
Bang!
The whole island began to shake.
Bang!
The "peeping eyes" that tended to be transparent shattered suddenly.
Bernadette's eyes then closed, as if she had seen a bright light that she could not see directly, or had been hurt beyond her bearing.
Obvious blood flowed from the corners of her eyes, and her face turned a lot paler.
And on her body, a pair of illusory and holy wings spread, neutralizing some invisible pollution with the fall of white feathers.
"Sure enough, he has the ability to fight, the emperor's legacy is really rich...... Hehe, before being educated by me, Ms. 'Hermit' liked to use her 'voyeuristic eye' to look at the people and things around her, and there was definitely a certain factor of tutoring...... In short, it's all Russell's fault!" Crane above the gray fog secretly relieved himself, and couldn't help but scold the emperor a few words.
Then, his mind raced, analyzing the scene that Bernadette had seen in his prophecy:
When the stone door opened, a terrifying creature seemed to crawl out of the mausoleum.
"It could be a resurrected Rosell, or it could be a symbol of some kind of catastrophe, such as an outer god who once eroded the island, or quietly polluted Russell's 'primordial moon'......
"Well, even Russell, that's definitely not a human figure, closer to a mythical creature, closer to a god...... Also, it's impossible to know for sure if the horrible creature is sane and can communicate......
"There's also the important question of whether Bernadette or someone else did the opening of the stone door, or was it the horrible creature in the mausoleum who did it himself? If it were the latter, even if we did nothing, it would have been possible for things to go where they were prophesied......
"What a blur the prophecy is. ”
Crane casually displayed a gold coin in his hand, flicked it up, and made a divination.
The results of the dream divination showed that the mausoleum was both dangerous and safe.
"How do I interpret that?" Klein pondered, turning his attention back to Bernadette.
It took Bernadette dozens of seconds to recover and no longer look so weak.
However, for the time being, she could not make a pointed prediction about the picture she saw, and could only be sure that the problem was absolutely complicated.
Because the "Voyeuristic Eye" was broken, she could no longer use it to see all kinds of secrets, and could only see the basic situation around her through the perception that came with the "invisible servant".
She found that Edwards remained silent and motionless when he was unable to manipulate the "invisible servant", seemingly unaware of anything unusual.
After thinking about it, Bernadette said to Edwards with the help of the "invisible servant":
"Do you remember the years you spent in Lemburg?"
Edwards' indifferent light blue eyes moved:
"Yes.
"I seem to be ......"
At this, he seemed to remember something, and his expression twisted suddenly, as if he was suffering some kind of unspeakable pain.
In such a state, his eyes suddenly glowed with a strange brilliance:
"I seem, it seems, to be dead......"
