Chapter 31: A Serendipitous Encounter with a Prophet

The sky gradually darkened, Amintas and Yumenas still had no news, thinking of the battle situation in Rhodes, Alexander's heart was very worried, after all, the enemy is still relatively strong, plus his own disappearance, it will inevitably cause a certain degree of chaos in the army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But what he feared most was the political upheaval that his disappearance might trigger, so he wanted to fly to Rhode Island with two wings.

Alexander's mood could not be calmed, so he walked along the coast and thought. The moon was about to come out, and the bright moonlight shone on the islands scattered across the sea, and on the white houses that lined up one after another. Alexander made his way east, but was stopped by a rocky promontory. However, Alexander did not turn back, but climbed to the top of the rock, but when he reached the top he felt extremely tired, not only physically, but also mentally and mentally stressed for a long time, and he broke out at this moment, and he lay on the slope of the rock, his eyes were foggy.

Suddenly, he seemed to see a figure, and he tried to open his eyes, but he felt a very heavy eyelid, so he struggled to get up, and the sight before him surprised him. Countless graves were carved into the rock in front of me, and against the backdrop of the moonlight, it looked particularly terrifying. The figure stood silently on a rock, a stick stuck in the sand beside it, and a lantern hung from it. This reminded Alexander of the story of the human skin lantern, and he was suddenly a little creepy. And the man had his back to Alexander, was wearing a white cloak, was almost six feet tall, and was apparently a man, whose gray hair could be seen by the moonlight, and who would not be less than 60 years old. The man was motionless, except for the white cloak fluttering in the wind, making a slight rustling sound, like the sound of a bird constantly waving its wings.

However, as an atheist, he did not think that the old man in front of him could be a ghost, and because of his age, Alexander felt that he would not be any threat to him, so Alexander tiptoed over. He saw a spring gushing out of the rocks, merging into a small stream that flowed through the sand and gravel of the beach until it joined the sea. The man should have known about his arrival, but he didn't move, and kept watching.

Accidentally, Alexander tripped over a stone, stumbled, and almost fell, and when he was secretly screaming bad luck and looking up, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes staring at him. Although Alexander was prepared and was also taken aback by the other party's surprise, his heart beat violently, after all, although the other party was an old man, it was quite easy to hurt himself, a 7-year-old child, and perhaps the only thing that could give him courage was the mini saber on his body. However, Alexander had little confidence in his swordsmanship, after all, he was too young.

The old man looked at Alexander with a strange look. But Alexander saw not ferocity in his eyes, but an eager gaze. So Alexander raised his chest and asked politely, "Senior, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm looking at this spring." The old man replied.

"Why observe this?"

"Because I'm a prophet."

Alexander Khan, there is a feeling like encountering a bull-nosed veteran or a charlatan.

However, he held back a laugh and continued to ask, "What do you see?" “

"This is the second time in living memory, and for the first time in twenty years, that the sea level has dropped by a cubit foot, and this sends a message."

"What's the news?"

The man led the lantern to the rock face, from which the spring was bubbling up. In the light of the lantern, Alexander saw several unfamiliar words carved into it.

"This is it." The Prophet pointed to the words as he spoke.

"What are these words? Do you understand? ”

"The master of Asia is coming again, and his eyes are full of wisdom and love!" The Prophet's voice was very distinctive, as if he was speaking with his throat, and Alexander had seen such a master on television in his previous life.

While Alexander was wondering, the Prophet brought the lantern to Alexander: "Who are you?" How long have you been paying attention to me? Why do I see infinite wisdom and love in your eyes? The Prophet was very surprised by the presence of the child in front of him.

"Not long, but don't you know who I am? I thought the prophets should know everything. Alexander teased. …,

"I'm a prophet, but I'm not a god, and sometimes I'm just guessing."

Damn, it turned out to be just a swindler. Alexander was disdainful, but he was too embarrassed to say what he thought, so he replied: "I am Alexander, king of Macedon." ”

The Prophet was visibly shocked, and he gazed hard at Alexander for a moment, then brought the lantern closer to his face again, and then sighed slowly: "I did not expect that twenty years later, Asia would once again have its master, and it would be exactly the same as this." ”

"What did you say?!" This time it was Alexander's turn to be shocked, he was just a spectator out of curiosity, not expecting the Prophet to tell him such news. He thought of the god Amun, who had brought him into this world, and looked at the prophet in front of him, but he didn't know what the two had to do with each other.

"Twenty years ago, your father came here, and I told him the same message. At that time, I didn't expect that twenty years would change so much, I could prophesy for your father, but I couldn't change his fate. I think it's time for you to take up your father's banner and conquer again, it's probably fate. The Prophet said with infinite emotion.

Alexander, however, did not seem to come to his senses, and after a while he asked, "Twenty years ago - Termesos - here - the same thing happened?" ”

"Yes, this is my city, a city of wizards and prophets, a city of magic in a place of magic. In this city, even a child can interpret the signs of the heavens and the entrails of sacrifice. Twenty years ago, it was here that a similar story took place. ”

"Is that an exaggeration? I only knew that in Xantos lay the hero of Lycia, Sarpedon, whom my father conquered, but I did not know that such stories were buried in Termessos. Alexander seemed to think of something, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Aris deserves Ross!"

Alexander was stunned again, he seemed to understand something, and believed that he was not telling himself, because he had heard this mysterious name, and there were probably so many strange things in this world, and there were so many mysterious things that you could never decipher the mystery. Alexander was determined to keep him by his side, because the old man in front of him might be of great help to him in his future career.

"Prophet, you have been with my father, and I wonder if you are still willing to bear witness to this prophecy with me."

Aris Dangros looked out to sea, his deep eyes that made him feel like he had an infinite amount of energy, and he could see the past and the future. After a long time, the prophet said slowly: "Well, since fate has made you and I meet here today, then I will also obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

"Thank you, senior! Alexander is grateful! I will show you the dawn of a new era. ”

1 Sarpedon: Son of Zeus and Laodamea, leader of the Lycians, great warrior. He led his tribesmen to help Troy resist the Greek coalition, and was killed in a duel with Patroclus, a close associate of the Greek commander Achilles, on the banks of the Scamandros River. Before Sarpedon's death, Zeus tried to save him from the Nether, but was stopped by Hera, the queen of heaven, who said that if Zeus went to save Salpedon, then all the gods would be involved in the Trojan War in the Nether.
