Chapter 97: The appointed day is approaching
After the opening remarks of Lazio Usquegras at 'Hoshimi', I saw an opportunity to find the old man in a black tuxedo with a goblet in a goblet of wine.
"His Royal Highness Lazio-Usqueras, Count Xiao Bai, the contemptible Flame Count, it is an honor to meet you." I bowed to 'Hoshimi' Lazio.
"Oh, it's you, newcomer to the organization, what a nice young man. What is the matter with finding the old decay? The kind old man looked at me with interest. His facial features are very ordinary, but the blue pupils that are as deep as the sky seem to contain unfathomable power.
His Royal Highness Lazio Usqueras, the 'star see' in front of me, is like the sea, exuding a vast and mysterious momentum. In my eyes, this Lazio, who has the charm of a mature old man, has reached the limit of 990 in terms of mental energy, which is not much worse than Nitro, the leader of the Hunters' Guild. Moreover, the momentum on his body is not the martial arts heart of a martial artist fighting heaven and earth, this gentle and elegant momentum is like an old man who has gone through the vicissitudes of the world, standing in front of him, you seem to be in the sea, full of a strange sense of powerlessness.
"It's about the 'appointed day', His Highness Lazio Usqueras. I'm interested in what Pariston calls 'the date of appointment', so I'd like to ask you for advice. Can you tell me more about it? "In the face of the unfathomable, kind old man like the sea, I still smiled and made my request.
"Oh, 'the appointed day'? What an interesting request. Lazio-Usquera looked at me deeply, paused, and continued, "As the Peerless Earl of the Horus Order, you should know that what humans have explored is only a small part of this vast world, located in the huge lake of Morbius. Nowadays, the borders and sea borders reached by human beings alone are far from the shores of the lake. It's like a small piece of the puzzle. ”
Lazio Usquera smiled at me again, then continued his words, his face kind and his voice old, "The 'outside' of Lake Mobius is the Dark Continent. Legend has it that Lake Möbius is surrounded by a wall of Nian Qi called the 'Giant Wall', which was built by the ancestors of ancient humans who inspired Nian in a special way. You know that 'mindfulness' is a wonderful ability that can survive even after the death of the owner, and it is even more incredible. Therefore, after the death of the ancestors, the 'huge wall' did not disappear, but became more powerful because of the incredibity of 'Nian'. The 'Huge Wall' guards the tranquility of the human world and defends the fragile human race from the 'terrorist' attacks of the Dark Continent, but time is the greatest power, and no matter how wonderful the 'Nian' becomes fragile after tens of thousands of years, the 'Huge Wall' does not exist infinitely, and one day in the future, it will collapse, and the ancient books left by the ancestors call that day the 'Promised Day'."
"Oh, it's pretty much what Pariston told me, so how did you realize that the 'appointed day' was now? You must know that it has been stored for tens of thousands of years, so why can't it continue to be stored in zài? "In the face of the explanation given to me by Lazio Usqueras, I continued to ask questions excitedly, the fire of gossip is burning, hehe.
"It's the cause of 'drifting'. The Dark Continent, which had been closed for tens of thousands of years, is showing signs of gradually opening, and there are constantly 'drifts' from the dark world that will follow the sea and enter our world...... This is the world on the inside of the world map. By the way, speaking of which, Earl of Absolute Flame, your assessment task seems to be to collect the 'drifts' from the Dark Continent, right, is there any progress? Lazio Usquglas casually took the wine from a beautiful waitress passing by and asked me suddenly.
"Huh? Progress? There must be, I'm doing detailed planning, in-depth investigation, and I'm just a little bit short of getting the job done. I touched the cold sweat on my forehead and hurriedly changed the subject. Pariston said that you predicted the 'appointed day', can you tell me what happened? ”
"Oh, is that so. Then you're going to have to come on. Lazio-Usqugrass ignored my diversion, shook his head and said, "It is true that the old man predicted the arrival of the 'appointed day'. Do you know the decaying ability of mind? ”
I shook my head blankly, nonsense, we were just curious about your ability, so we asked you to talk.
"The old man is a trait-based telekinesis, and the telekinesis ratio is not a combat type, but a special ability called 'Crisis Revelation'. Crisis Revelation', it allows me to know the 'big events' that are about to happen in the human world in the next 10 years, remember, it can only be the 'big events' that can affect the human world, and it can only determine the time period of 'within 10 years', but it is impossible to predict a more accurate time. And the recent 'crisis revelations' tell me that the 'great wall' will collapse in the next 10 years. The mild-mannered old man said slowly, gently shaking the glass goblet.
"Can you tell me about the specific scene, do you feel anything?" I asked curiously to this old man in a black tuxedo with very ordinary facial features but a pair of dark blue eyes as deep as the sky.
Lazio-Usqugrass took a deep breath and said to me calmly but vicissitudes: "I feel two scenes, one scene, with a crowd of people. In a wide square, it was crowded with dense human beings. There, there was an unusual smell. But what made people even more desperate than these smells was that the more than 20,000 deprived pupils, drooling and choking meaninglessly that filled the square, leaving only imbecile-indescribable faces, and tens of thousands of meat men a thousand times more incompetent than the most mentally retarded piglets, humming and shaking like a wave. Compared to the horror of this scene, there is no smell at all. I could feel the horror of the human race being reduced to lower creatures and becoming food and meat for alien rations. Directly across the wide square is the Palace of the Worms. Countless humans have been cocooned into worms, waiting to hatch. ”
"In another scene, it takes place on the shores of Lake Mobius, where the sea borders reached by man's own power are far away, where the 'great wall' is located. The 'huge wall' containing powerful thoughts burst like glass, and countless demonic beasts, phantom beasts, all kinds of demons and monsters, and evil beings unimaginable to human beings rushed into Lake Mobius. ”
Speaking of this, the old man, who had seen all the vicissitudes of the world, shook his head and smiled meaningfully at me.
"Let's talk about it here, Earl Xiao Bai, you are a good young man, I hope you can live until the 'appointed day'." Then he turned and walked away.
I looked at the old man's back and grinned.
"Chimera ants and the 'Day of Appointment'?"
