"It's like a prophecy, and I want to interpret it. But before I do that, I'd like to ask, who wrote this thing?" Wright asked, pointing to the text written in a blue pen.

"If I remember correctly, it must have been written by the recorders of the southern battlefields, who, as far as I know, sent people to Lake Ribel to record the slate of the ruins they had peeked out of the ice during the time the ice was thawing. Philo replied.

"Lake Rowbell?" Wright bowed slightly, thought for a few seconds, and said:

"I wanted to try to decipher what was like a prophecy. ”

"Two gentlemen, I'll go to the other carriages first for matters involving the army, after all, although we met by chance on the journey, I can't touch any secrets, this is against the laws of the Empire. Zhou Lin said, put on his top hat, got up and bowed slightly to Wright and Philo.

"Wait, Mr. Zhou Lin, I don't think it's a secret. After all, you've brought me some news of the Imperial Capital, and I don't think you're likely to be a spy of the Cruster Empire. And you're a merchant, right, judging by the name, you should have been in the Southern Empire since you were a child. I have learned that the group of merchants who trade in two countries, you will always put your interests first, and you will not easily guide to either country. So you can listen to some of the less important things in our letter. Philo said kindly, motioning for Zhou Lin to stay together.

Obviously, he still hasn't said half of the sentence directly, but relying on the IQ of the two, it shouldn't be difficult to understand.

Naturally, Zhou Lin could know about Lelita's imprisonment from the imperial capital, and in Philo's opinion, Zhou Lin at least knew something about the political situation of the Avantley Empire, even if he was not a person.

However, Zhou Lin didn't care about Philo's retention, he just nodded politely, although he didn't have any hair and looked bare, he still didn't lose the characteristics of a businessman.

"Oh, yes. Zhou Lin seemed to think of something, took out a card-like thing from his arms, and handed it to Philo.

"Mr. Philo, here is my contact and address. I think we'll meet again at some point in the future. In the Avantlay Empire, many government officials and soldiers have been entertained by us. ”

"Okay, I'll definitely come back when I have time. Philo politely took the card with both hands and nodded.

Then the rumble of the train, and the sound of Zhou Lin's footsteps seemed faint.

After pushing open one of the carriage doors in front of him, he chose to light a cigarette produced by Avantley, and disappeared in front of the two of them.

"This card?" Wright asked Philo with some curiosity, ignoring the speculation about the prophecy just now.

"It's like a business card, but it's different. If he wasn't deliberately showing us something, then we didn't understand what was trending right now. Here, you see. Philo looked puzzled, scratched his head, and handed the card to Wright with two index fingers.

"It's heavy, it doesn't look like a card, it looks like a very rare piece of metal. The above is worth looking into, though. I'm kind of tempted to catch up and ask. Wright said.

"I think it's better not. Philo stretched out his hand to stop, "You forgot what we were doing?"

"I haven't forgotten. However, I'm going to write down the 'Avantley-Flame Trader District' written on it, and when I get back to the capital, I'll make a note of it. My impression of the capital city seems to be stuck in five or six years ago, when I first came out of university. Then you entered the army of Avantley, and I stayed north for four or five years, until that time, I thought you were dead, didn't I? But going back now is not a wrong choice. ”

"Okay, okay, don't be so sad. Philo heard the reluctance and faint despair in Wright's words, and said with a deliberate smile.

"There weren't so many complicated emotions, I just thought about the future of this empire as well. Imagine if Han Jun I didn't love our soldiers when he fought against the dragons, then how could there be a day when humans completely dominate the world. Humanity has surpassed all species and reached the top of the world's food chain. But this time is very short, only a few hundred years. Although thousands of years ago, the war between humans and dragons was already in the advantageous stage. Wright analyzed, the sadness in his eyes did not dissipate, but became stronger.

"But then again," Philo chose to take the conversation into a different context, trying not to make Wright too depressed and depressed.

"Are you going to see things from the perspective of a human or an Imperial soldier?"

"Imperial soldiers, of course. I grew up in the Avantley Empire. I love the snowflakes that look like they've been carved by the Creator. The delicate hexagonal pattern, combined with the calming feeling of the power of the water source, made my love for this country surpass all else. Now that I have promised you to serve the army of this country again, I will also hold on to one conviction. Wright said with a firm expression.

"What is it?" Philo seemed to have an admiration for Wright from the bottom of his heart.

"If I can't be born with this country, then I die with this country. The Creator can create everything, but He cannot control the disappearance. Neither in speed nor in quality, the Creator has not once outdone humanity in this matter. Wright said, clenching his teeth to express his determination.

Looking at Wright's determined appearance and his skin that had been sculpted by the weather and battle, Philo sighed inwardly, feeling the gap between himself and his consciousness and belief.

After a while, he laughed faintly a few times, and finally planned to completely introduce the topic in the direction he wanted.

"Let's take a look at these two letters first. Philo said, pointing with his finger at the letter that had just been cut open with a knife by Wright, and continued:

"This is a very important letter. The prophecies or legends quoted at the beginning do not seem to be limited to our interpretation. And I also briefly read the rest of the content, and there is no mention of anything more important except for the simple instructions to you, Wright, and the appointment. Well, that is, let you go to Lake Jobel as a brigadier general to follow and inspect the newly launched warships of the Empire. But I think Mr. Kyle and the Prime Minister mean that you have more contact with the generals in the army. But the previous paragraph, you just said that you want to interpret it, right, I want to hear it. If it makes sense and has value, Mr. Kyle will be very happy. ”

"yes, I was going to say that. You see," Wright pointed to the text, explaining sentence by sentence, beginning with the first Eventley text:

"The sentence of the loneliness of the flame brilliance, if it was carved into the ruins before the accident of the Flame Empire, then it is very easy to understand, it is a portrayal of the gradual loneliness in the past thirty years, there should be no doubt about it. ”

"That's right. Now the Flame Empire is far behind us militarily and technologically. I heard that thirty years ago they still had an air force, including airships and flying machines. Now, it's hard to get two or three small planes to take off. They can't guarantee the supply of aviation fuel alone, and they even have to smuggle it from us. Philo looked disdainful when he mentioned the Flame Empire.

"Is ice coming to this world? There should be two explanations. One of them is that we, the Avantley Empire, dominate the world. We are a land of water and magic, and it is our tradition that the monarch worships water and ice. But another explanation is that the world will go through a battle, and after the light shines, a huge cloud of dust will cover the light, and everything on Earth will be reduced to a lifeless cold situation, finally waiting for the arrival of the savior and collaborator. Wright analyzed.

But to Philo, it sounded like an endorsement.

"How can I hear about the second half of your analysis, this can't be your original analysis. Has anyone else analyzed this similar content? Is it the mysterious person in Shamonta Town? haha. Philo smirked, half-jokingly.

"It's really not my original. It is mentioned in one of Avantley's ancient books, The Word of Ice. It is said that a certain king in ancient times angered the Creator because of his cruelty and mesophobia, so the Creator punished him. All his land was desolate, and all his people were left from him. Wright said with a blank face.

After all, this is a story that doesn't belong to him.

"But, Wright. I'd like to hear these old stories in my spare time in the future, because you'll be busy when we return to the capital. The threat of the Cruster Empire has not yet been lifted, so let's talk about the content analysis of Lee's prophecy. Philo said, his eyes suddenly filled with curiosity.

It seems to be shining like a star.

"Okay, I'll continue to analyze with my understanding and knowledge. Wright coughed dryly twice, took the letter and continued to analyze:

"The phrase "Grass and Wind" probably means that other empires will attack each other because of the war for hegemony, the emperor of the Cruster Empire admires the magic source power of wood and wind, and the kings of some countries to the west like the simple magic power of grass and trees. As for the treasure of the Lost City, I think it can be understood more as if there was a world war, then all the cities would be destroyed like the Lost City. As for the last two sentences, they couldn't be more straightforward. ”

"How?" Philo wondered.

"You're a little confused. Wright smiled and patted Philo, "If we go to the capital this time and then go to Lake Jobel, I'm afraid we will be in danger." Who knows what monsters lurk beneath the surface of the lake that has been touched by the ice!" Wright said, pouting, yawning as he put the letter back in the envelope.

"But it's a high probability that you'll go to Lake Jobir, and if Princess Lelita's house arrest is true, then Mr. Kyle's life won't be easy. I may also go to Lake Jobel as a military observer to inspect our warships. After all, when the ice first began to melt, it was transformed into one of the bases of the navy. Philo smiled and stretched.

However, at this moment, Wright suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness.

With the blurring of consciousness and the gradual dimming of the surrounding scenery, Wright also seemed to feel a sense of coolness and demonic power flowing through his body.

"Is it a potion, or is it the residual power of the Twenty-Eight Selectors in the dream?" Wright guessed, as if his consciousness had begun to clear up at this moment as if it had been washed with cold water.

Immediately after, he felt the light around him begin to soften and brighten, and some twisted lines with strange light began to appear on his forehead, as well as the sound of bubbles like the breathing of a deep sea beast.
