Chapter 425: The Son of Prophecy
Anshar drank his first glass of wine and continued, "This is one of the six curses of the Sea of Mist, and it is prophesied that when these six curses appear one by one, the Sea of Mist will return to the material plane. β
"And you still have the source of the second curse in your hands."
Sherlock immediately thought of something, and asked, "Which do you mean?" β
The only thing he has to do with the Sea of Mists now is that black yarn and the treasure of One Piece.
"Both, or they're the same." Anshar poured two more glasses of wine in quick succession.
"How do you know?" Sherlock had never said what kind of clues he had, and he was sure he wasn't being read minds.
"As I said, I am a great prophet, so of course everything is in my prophecy, including your appearance." Anshar said confidently.
Well, it's okay to deceive NPCs, but the player is outside the worldview, and he is not controlled by the fate line of the Forgotten Realm at all, and as long as he is no longer online, the prophecy will naturally not come true.
Of course, I think so, the performance that should be cooperated with must continue, in the eyes of the protagonist who admired him after receiving the guidance of the master, Anshar went out the cause and effect of the prophecy one by one, and took out another piece of parchment.
Entering is without a cause, and going is fate;
The truth of good and evil, the mirror is full of water;
If the last piece of parchment can barely decipher what happened, this paragraph is a complete lie, with no substance at all.
What exactly does it mean, what does it have to do with black yarn and treasures, and what are the other four curses, Anchar's arrival solves some of Sherlock's doubts, but it brings more new ones.
"Shouldn't you have been more detailed, or if I fail, your prophecy will be wrong?"
"My prophecy will not be wrong, and even if you fail, it will only prove that you are not the person you predicted." Anshar squinted, then left one last sentence with a meaningful smile.
"And if you're the one in the prophecy, do you really think you're going to fail?"
Can you fail?
This sentence is completely illogical, as long as you are a person with subjective consciousness, you have the possibility of failure in doing anything.
I don't know if it's a slip of the tongue or a grammatical problem, but what the other party said is not an impossible question, but whether it can be.
If a person can't even choose whether he can fail or not, then is he really still alone, Sherlock has an inexplicable impulse at the moment, which is to deliberately let these two missions fail.
"Huh!"
After a moment, perhaps realizing how ridiculous the thought was, he laughed at himself twice and let go of the meaningless assumption.
It's just the babbling of a drunkard, the lines of the system.
Maybe it's because I've encountered a lot of true and false things recently, and he has been a professional player for more than ten years and still believes it to be true, and if he wants to say it, he may be ridiculed by many peers, at least Fuyun can definitely use this to mock him for a lifetime.
And he also discovered an even more important problem, this NPC talked nonsense and seemed to reveal a lot of secrets, but the actual problem was not revealed, so he swindled seven glasses of wine from him.
Is the prophet profession so easy to mix now, from the previous player Amber to the NPC Anchar this time, he wants to go to Agolalong's magic academy to study divination.
Sherlock continued to comb through all the clues on one side, and it was finally time to go to sea again.
Under the urging of the crowd and the offensive of money, Dodge went at full speed and arrived on Todstan Island in only three days.
Despite its proximity to latitude, Todstein has a completely different climate from Grebourne Island, and from a distance, the entire island is covered in snow and ice.
And around the island, as described in the diary, it was surrounded by a circle of acidic boiling water, and the steaming acid mist blocked all living things and even objects from the island.
Sherlock and the others tried it, the damage of this boiling water is very high, and it is definitely impossible to swim over, and it is a bit dangerous to let Arashi fly over, so after paying a large value-added fee again, Doge agreed to use the flying mode to take them for a ride.
The sailboat's sails turned horizontally into wings, and under Bau's control, a gust of air gushed out, and the wind puffed up the ship's wings, and the Mistwalker flew up to the crest of the waves.
They crossed the boiling water with a strong sour smell and drove through the snow-filled sky.
βIT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!!β Los jumped off the boat with a foreign word.
The Mistwalker's flight mode doesn't stay long and can't land on the island, so they'll need to figure out how to disembark on their own.
Less than 100 feet above the height of the fall can not kill people, but whether it is Huifeng or Sherlock, their contract partners are capable of flying, and there is no need to jump directly into it.
Looking at the four teammates who landed steadily, Los always felt that the environment around him was colder.
I couldn't feel it on the sea, but when I really came to the island, the five of them immediately felt the cold to the bone, the ambient temperature was definitely about minus 20 degrees Celsius, and there was still a faint wind and snow in the air.
This temperature is enough to cause cold damage and freezing effects, Sherlock is fine, and the rest of the people are not prepared for the cold and have no relevant resistance, which is a bit difficult at this time.
A continuous damage of 3 points per second means that you must keep recharging health recovery potions.
In addition, the DEBUFF of -2 for all three attributes of Physique Agility and Perception has also greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of several people.
Fortunately, the structure of the island is not complicated, and Sherlock soon finds a path covered in unnamed moss, which leads straight into the island.
Braving the wind and snow, a few people walked slowly on this mossy road, and the ground full of ice and snow and the moss made it even more difficult to focus, let alone run, and it was impossible to walk at a normal speed.
The system apparently felt that this test of difficulty was not enough, and with a burst of heavy footsteps, a huge figure gradually approached in the wind and snow.
Before the man arrived, a cold ice pick was thrown first.
Dusk shuriken handed, and Sherlock in the form of a blue frog stepped forward, and the orange light pierced through the wind and snow, twisting the oncoming icicle into a pile of debris.
"You keep going, I'll come over when I'm done with this snow golem." Here he can still maintain his full combat strength, and this kind of work can only be handed over to him.
As for the rest of the people, it would be more dangerous to stay outside for a moment now, and it would be better to move forward first.
