Chapter 627: Common Sense of the World
Overall, it's a world that resembles a medieval European setting.
The level of civilization here is still at the level of ancient times, there are no electrical appliances such as computers and mobile phones, there are no vehicles such as cars and airplanes, and even electricity has not been discovered.
Basically, the whole world is in an era where people go out by horse-drawn carriages, plough the land by cattle and sheep, light by oil lamps, and entertainment is completely absent.
The reason why I say "basically" is, of course, because there are very few countries in this world that have science and technology that are completely inconsistent with the background of the times and are too advanced.
But that's just a few of the world's feudal, ninety percent of the world's countries are currently feudal, with kings and nobles controlling all power in the country, not unlike the average medieval European background.
But that said, there is something in this world that is significantly different from the general world.
That is, things and knowledge such as magic, alchemy, and monsters, which would definitely be hidden in the Moon World, but in this world, they are things that even ordinary people know and even encounter.
In this world, one knows magic.
Monsters that are extremely aggressive and irrational can be found almost all over the world.
There is even a special profession such as [Adventurer], which specializes in obtaining remuneration by completing commissions.
There are many kinds of commissions, such as fighting off monsters, obtaining materials unique to monsters, etc., such as dealing with thieves and escorting merchants, and sometimes even wars with hostile countries, countries may entrust investigation tasks, assassination missions, etc. to adventurers.
"The most important thing is that this world has had a prophecy since ancient times."
Ryusha combed through the common sense in her mind as she spoke to the two of them, "In the next year, there will be a catastrophe that will destroy the world - the tide will come, and if this catastrophic catastrophe is not stopped, the whole world will perish. ”
Perhaps because the times are too old, the part about the wave is actually a little vague.
No one knows what a wave is, no one knows what it really is, no one knows where it will appear and how it will destroy the world.
It is only known that this wave will appear in a certain year and destroy the world.
"The year mentioned in the prophecy seems to be this year."
Ryusha stood on the edge of the cliff, his hair fluttering with the sea breeze blowing, and the clothes on his body were hunting, "And my mission this time includes repelling at least three waves. ”
That's right.
The year in which the tide mentioned in the prophecy comes is this year.
The reason why the time is known so accurately is actually because there is a special item [Hourglass Carved by the Dragon] that can accurately measure the time of the arrival of the wave.
According to common sense, the hourglass carved by the dragon can predict the time of the arrival of the tide and give a warning a month in advance.
As long as the inhabitants of this world believe in the warning of the hourglass carved by the dragon and prepare in advance, they can at least form a line of defense against the waves.
And it seems that not long ago, the hourglass of the dragon carving had been successfully activated and gave a warning to the world.
"However, it is probably because the prophecy is too long, so even if the hourglass carved by the dragon gave a warning in advance, no one still believes that the wave will come."
And for granted.
After all, who would easily believe that the end of the world would come?
Even in the modern era when people's wisdom is opened, I am afraid that not many people will really believe that the end of the world will come on time and prepare in advance, right?
Of course, for the inhabitants of this world, it is indeed unknown whether the tide will come.
But for Ryuxia, the tide is 100% bound to come.
Otherwise, the Bearer Spirit Base would not have issued him a mission to repel the tide.
Therefore, there is no need for him to dwell on whether the tide will come or not, as long as he is ready to meet and repel the wave.
"I see."
Estes pondered for a moment, then quickly grasped the crux of the matter, "So, when and where exactly will that wave come?" What is the intensity, can we handle it with our current strength? ”
Hearing this, Ryuxia groaned and said, "According to common sense, at most, you can only know that the tide will come this year, and other information such as the location of the arrival and how powerful it is, it is impossible to speculate. ”
Because no one believed that the wave of destruction of the world would really come, although many people knew that the hourglass carved by the dragon was already in warning, the specific time of the hourglass warning did not spread widely.
And what Lu Xia got was just common sense, which was equivalent to the knowledge that most people knew, and he only knew common sense, of course, he didn't know the specific time of arrival.
The hourglass carved by the dragon can only predict the time when the tide will come, and cannot tell the place where the wave will come, nor can it calculate the power of the wave.
If you want to know this information, it is better to experience it yourself, so that it is possible to speculate - but until now, not even a wave has occurred, and of course no information can be speculated.
But, of course, it didn't work out for Ryusha -
"The wave will come in ten minutes."
Ryusha closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, those eyes had turned into a brilliant jewel color, "The place is near this seaside, if you are powerful...... It seems that there will only be some weak monsters, which are not worth mentioning. ”
For him, who has a vision of the future, whether it is the time of arrival, the place of arrival, the power, etc., all of them can't hide from him.
The specifications of this wave are not yet up to the level of the Killing House Prayer, so naturally it can't prevent him from watching with his magic eye.
Moreover, even if there is no vision of the future, Ryuxia knows that this upcoming first wave will inevitably occur near this seaside.
Because the place of his arrival after each shuttle through the world was personally chosen by the anonymous Lingji, the most accurate time and location was the most convenient for him to use to complete the Lingji task.
In the past, whether it was in the Demon Slayer Blade World or in the Crimson Pupil World, it was the same, and this was also what the Anonymous Lingji once told Ryuxia, the law of every time he traveled through the world.
Not to mention the first time now, even if it is the second and third wave after that, Ryuxia can also know the specific time and place of the arrival of the wave in advance through the ability of future vision and testing, and make all preparations in advance.
After the Future Vision was upgraded to A-level, he was not only able to accurately see the future within half a day, but also awakened the three abilities of Future Vision Prediction, Future Vision Test, and the Demon Eye of Direct Death.
It couldn't be more convenient to use to complete the Lingji mission.
