Chapter 461: Weaver of Destiny
Chapter 461: Weaver of Fate
"What is a Weaver of Destiny?" asked Rydge.
"As far as I know, the exact year in which the Weaver of Destiny first appeared is unknown, but the most active period of the Weaver of Destiny on the continent is undoubtedly the Second Dynasty!"
"Amanda Dynasty?" Leitch's eyes condensed slightly, for this powerful dynasty that ruled the Valley of Dawn for nearly 80,000 years before the Fast Empire, it was naturally impossible for him not to know.
It is said that there is still too little information about the Amanda Dynasty on the mainland today, at least there is not much information that Leitch can access, but according to these limited materials, Leitch can still imagine the mystery and power of the Amanda Dynasty! Moreover, in Leqi's view, there are many doubts that are difficult to explain in the final demise of the Amanda people as a whole.
It can be said that the social system of the Amanda dynasty was different from that of the valley of the dawn today, and the supreme ruler of the Amanda dynasty was called the Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh had many great nobles under his command, called the Pharaoh. But the most incredible thing is that from the god mother Harthol in the Old Kingdom, to the sun god Atun in the Middle Kingdom, and then to Anubis, the god of death in the New Kingdom, the pharaohs of all generations have called themselves gods!
Therefore, the pharaohs of the Amanda dynasty were called the most arrogant mortals by later historians and troubadours!
But it is undeniable that the Amanda dynasty reached a very high level in many fields such as magic, alchemy, architecture, literature, etc., the most famous of which are the pyramids and mummies that have been circulated in various poems and heroic legends!
For example, the famous long hymn "The Journey of Khufu" praises the legendary life of the greatest pharaoh Khufu during the Middle Kingdom of the Amanda Dynasty! Among them, the phrases "the giant tower that points angrily to the sky" and "the throne bathed in the dawn" are alluded to is the largest pyramid discovered so far - the Pyramid of Khufu!
The Pyramid of Khufu is regarded as one of the greatest and most incredible buildings by countless great architects since the Fast Empire, and its construction has many places that are simply incomprehensible and unbelievable to future generations, and what is even more incredible is that 20,000 years have passed since the discovery of the Pyramid of Khufu, and no one has been able to step into it!
For example, "Khufu's Secret Chamber", which is one of the most popular apocalyptic theories on the mainland today, is a series of thought-opening conjectures made by the author based on the Pyramid of Khufu, such as whether the legendary pharaoh Khufu is dead, what is hidden in the Pyramid of Khufu, and is the Pyramid of Khufu really built only as a temple...... These wonderful ideas, coupled with the author's own excellent pen power, have made the book "Khufu's Secret Room" popular with countless people since its publication!
If "Khufu's Secret Chamber" is more focused on literature and public opinion, then the famous hymn "The Return of Khufu" directly refers to the existence of the pyramids, which was originally the largest base for the Amanda people to counterattack the Valley of the Dawn! "The Return of Khufu" was written by Nietzsche, a famous chant at that time, and the conspiracy of the pharaoh mentioned in the poem was recognized by many people, which even caused panic among many people for a time!
Reich had also read The Return of Khufu in its entirety, and he was noncommittal about the list of ideas mentioned by the poet Nietzsche, because his knowledge of the pyramid of Khufu was quite limited.
However, it is worth mentioning that there are many pyramids that have been discovered today, but only a few have actually been opened, and all of them are only the pyramids of the pharaohs, but only one pyramid of the pharaoh level such as the Pyramid of Khufu has been opened since then! The author of the poem "The Return of Khufu" was one of the entourages at that time!
No one knows what the expedition saw in the open pyramid of the pharaohs, but it is certain that when they first entered, there were more than 100 members of the expedition, but in the end it was only Nietzsche, the author of "The Return of Khufu", who came out alive!
And the open pyramid of the Pharaohs, after Nietzsche fled, collapsed devastatingly, and finally sank into the ground, becoming a pile of cursed dust ruins - there, another of the three dangers of the Dawson Free Federation today, the ruins of the Pharaohs!
"That's right, it's the Amanda dynasty. Noticing the change in Leqi's expression, Xin Tian smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Viscount should also have some understanding of the Amanda Dynasty, so I won't make a superfluous introduction;
"High Priest?" Retch raised an eyebrow.
The system of gods during the Amanda Dynasty is very different from that of the countries of the Valley of the Dawn today, and it is extremely complicated - although the pharaohs of all dynasties have been named gods, the titles of pharaohs in each period are by no means the same, and there are as many as a dozen of them that Leitch knows at present! You know, Leitch's research in this area is only an amateur of amateurs......
However, one thing is clear to Leitch is that in the religious system of the Amanda dynasty, the most noble existence is not only the pharaohs who were worshipped as gods, but also the pyramid priests who were responsible for promoting the divine power of the pharaoh and conveying the will of the pharaoh!
Among the many pyramid priests, at the top was the high priest, known as the head of the pharaoh, followed by the left priest and the right priest, who were regarded as the right and right hands of the pharaoh! In terms of prestige alone, even those pharaohs with huge territories could not be compared with these three priests! Now Xin Tian actually told himself that the high priest of the previous pharaohs must have been a weaver of fate, one can imagine Leqi's surprise!
"That's right, it's the High Priest!And the reason why the High Priest of the Amanda Dynasty is known as the head of the Pharaohs of the past is because of the powerful ability unique to the Weaver of Destiny!" As he spoke, Xin Tian's always lazy face revealed a hint of strong confidence and pride at this time!
"Is it the ability to weave destiny?" asked Retch intently.
"Weaving fate?" Hearing this, Xin Tian's face couldn't help but show a wry smile and embarrassment, "Lord Viscount, you also look up to us too much, let alone us mortals, even those powerful gods, who dares to say that they can weave fate?!"
"By ability, I actually mean predicting fate, or foreseeing the future!"
"Foresee the future?" Although Leitch secretly didn't believe that the so-called Weaver of Destiny could really weave fate, he was still shocked when he heard Xin Tian claim that the Weaver of Destiny could meet the future—being able to foresee the future means being able to avoid evil, which is indirectly equivalent to rewriting fate! From this point of view, the term Weaver of Destiny is really not arrogant!
"That's right, through these cards in my hand, I can meet the fragment of the future!" said that, and he didn't see any movement from Xin Tian, but he had an extra deck of gorgeous cards in his hand out of thin air!
The cards looked like there were dozens, about the size of playing cards on Earth, and as Xin Tian spread out the deck on the square table, he could see that the cards were very different - gold and silver, red and black, each with a different pattern engraved on the front and the same pattern on the edge of the card that Reitch had seen in the magical ruins where he got the Destiny Card!
This made Leitch immediately decide that there must be an inseparable relationship between that magical relic and the weaver of fate!
"Are these Destiny Cards?" asked Retche, picking up a random card.
"Lord Viscount actually knows about fate cards?" Xin Tian looked at Lei Qi in surprise, his eyes were full of surprise, and then he saw him and smiled bitterly, "These are not fate cards, that kind of legendary items, I have never had the pleasure of seeing them so far! These I took out are just imitations of fate cards, dominoes." ”
"Dominoes, no matter how you look at them, they don't look like dominoes, do they?" Feeling the texture of paper and not paper in his hand, Leitch couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"No, they are dominoes, and the main material for making every domino is a bone fragment taken from a creature!" said Xin Tian and suddenly smiled mysteriously, "However, these are not the point, the biggest role of dominoes is to demonstrate the domino effect!"
As he spoke, he saw Xin Tian's hands change into complex gestures, and in just one second, he completed at least three movements! A moment later, when Xin Tian's hands were crossed, the two index fingers and two thumbs formed a symmetrical quadrilateral, and dozens of dominoes that were originally lying on the table were all standing upright, forming a regular 'S' shape!
At this point, Leitch stretched out a finger and gently tapped the domino at the top, and without surprise, the domino fell backwards, and then a magical scene occurred - as the first domino fell, the second domino fell backwards, and the third domino fell with it...... In the end, all the dominoes fell!
"This is the domino effect, isn't it?" Reich asked, smiling, pointing to his masterpiece.
"No, it's fate!" Xin Tian shook his head slightly and said with a serious face.
As he spoke, Xin Tian picked up a domino from the table and said, "Each of these dominoes represents a certain fate fragment, or the fate of a certain period of time!
"Shouldn't all Destiny Weavers have such abilities, do they?" asked Reich suddenly.
"Of course, only a weaver above the master level has such an ability!" Xin Tian nodded, and at the same time, there was a hint of pride on his face, obviously, he was at least a master weaver!
And the so-called master-level weaver is obviously equivalent to the existence of an arcane master among mages, that is to say, Xin Tian has at least a fifth-order strength! Although Leqi doesn't know Xin Tian's specific age, judging from his face, his age should be a little younger than Ellen - a fifth-order who is less than forty years old, this is undoubtedly another demon-level genius!
"I wonder if you can show me what you're capable of as a master weaver?" asked Retch with a smile.
