"Shh!!!!!h

Brother Jie blushed, and excitedly asked everyone to be careful, and the voice in the tavern was indeed weak, but the atmosphere was obviously much tense.

Old Jack and his companions grunted a few more sips of wine to suppress their shock, and many people in the tavern did the same.

The tavernkeeper insisted on adding a little wine to Old Jack.

Old Jack lowered his head and reached out to wipe the sweat from nervousness, which was naturally a manifestation of fear in the eyes of others.

"Now that the upper echelons of the kingdom have blocked the news, I don't know exactly what the situation is, but I estimate that it will continue to deteriorate. ”

Old Jack and his companion looked at each other for a moment, then hesitated and continued to speak.

"We are furriers, and doing business with the western steppes is a dangerous job in itself, so there is a small circle in private, and we run with the boss of a large merchant group. ”

"Actually, before the invasion of the wild orcs, the big merchant was worried, saying that something big would definitely happen!"

At this moment, everyone in the tavern became curious, and many even moved their stools and chairs to make themselves closer to the bar.

"Barbecue and bread are coming!"

At this time, the helper in the back hall brought the food ordered by Old Jack and his companions, and the tavern owner himself took it to the bar and put two sour fruits on the side.

"You can try crushing the sour fruit and drizzling it with sour juice, the roast will taste better. ”

"Thank you!"

Old Jack took a big bite of the roast with a plate and fork, and looked around the tavern as he chewed, and no one disturbed their meal.

Swallowing the meat that had been chewing for a long time, Old Jack, who had been brewing Chinese in his heart, took this opportunity to speak again.

"Do you know that before the invasion of the Orcs, there were stars falling from the sky?"

When these words were asked, some people in the tavern were puzzled, some people asked others, and some people suddenly patted their heads.

"Yes, yes!!! I have a friend who saw it, he came from the border city in the west, and told me that many people in that area have seen shooting stars!"

"I remember that I have a friend who also mentioned this to me!!"

"Really?"

"Meteors, I thought they were just legends......"

"Do the stars fall too... Aren't they children of the gods, shouldn't they be eternal?"

There was a lot of talk in the tavern about the falling stars.

Old Jack and his companions ate differently during this time to fill their stomachs, and the two of them were really hungry, and they had to hurry away and go elsewhere after a while.

Now Old Jack was in the groove, he swallowed a mouthful of meat and tapped the bar with his cup.

The sound of "bang" made the discussion in the tavern suddenly quiet again.

"It's true that the stars are falling because my companions and I have seen it!"

"yes, we've all seen it. ”

His companion echoed, wiping the sweat from his face and the grease stains on the corners of his mouth, closing his eyes and remembering for a moment before continuing to speak.

"That night many of us merchants formed a large merchant group, and camped outside the kingdom with the great merchant who often went out of the steppe together, and most of us saw it with our own eyes when the stars went down. ”

"It was so beautiful, with the stars shining in front of them, and the long tails of light trailing behind them, disappearing into the horizon. ”

Old Jack was drinking, and when he heard this, he slammed his glass on the bar counter and made a "bang" sound, startling everyone.

"He's right, but since that night, Rarity has been restless, muttering prophecies, you know, the feeling of being delirious, and even waking up from nightmares several times!"

Old Jack was obviously apprehensive, and just wanted to wipe his face, but the boss directly handed over a clean, moist towel.

"Use this rub to be comfortable!"

"Thank you!"

Old Jack was not polite, and took it and wiped it, and the towel was stained with a small piece of oil stains and sweat on his face.

"Do you know that businessman is a wise and calm man, who has multiplied his wealth tenfold or tenfold in five years!......! You can't imagine how much money he has......"

"It's ...... such a person"

Old Jack's voice paused here before continuing.

"He lost a lot of weight in a few days...... His uneasiness also brought up the uneasiness of the whole team, and we began to ask him frequently what was going on......"

Old Jack drank the wine from his glass again, but this time he just lay it upside down on the bar, and no longer let the enthusiastic tavern owner refill it.

"Thank you, thank you really, but we have to travel tonight and can't drink any more......"

Old Jack wiped his face with a towel.

"The big businessman asked us again and again, and finally spoke, it was a terrible prophecy, do you know what a prophecy is, this is a kind of legend by a magical wizard or sage who has the ability to predict the future, and the results of spying into the future are seen, and the words recorded to warn future generations are the prophecy. ”

His exact words are as follows: Our family has known a prophecy since ancient times, it is a memory engraved in our blood, and for hundreds of years, a total of six stars have fallen, and each time we are terrified...... The prophecy tells me that one day, the dark forces of terror and decay will invade the world from the west, and civilization will be destroyed, first by war, killing, death and decay, on a scale beyond the imagination of all living beings, and as a prelude to the destruction of the world... Before all the horrors begin, there will be stars trying to prevent the end from coming, and the stars representing the dawn will fall from the sky, holding the power to guide the dawn in search of the destined savior, and resurrect it again after witnessing its death. ”

Old Jack's voice was low, as if he were repeating the prophecy he had heard from Gurion.

"The Great Merchant didn't tell us what the final outcome of the prophecy would be, we don't know who the savior would be or if he would succeed in saving the world, but the fall of the stars and the subsequent invasion of the Orcs are very much like prophecy. ”

"That's why we fled together before the Orcs invaded after smelling something was wrong, and the other merchants who were still stranded on the grassland are estimated to have died..."

No one in the tavern spoke, for they did not know how to discuss the matter, and thought it was too expansive, but it was inevitable that they would send chills down their spine.

"Sounds a bit exaggerated, doesn't it? even if the Orcs invade the kingdom, it's still a disaster for the kingdom, and it's still far from the prophecy, right?"

Old Jack continued to talk to himself.

"I used to think so, but we've seen those terrible mutated orcs with our own eyes, and we've seen that they can enslave and drive trolls... Moreover... This time the desolate orcs are a giant invasion, and the terrifying scale of the army may be hundreds of thousands, not to mention the army gathered in the west, it is our ......"

Old Jack paused and looked at the tavernkeeper with a nervous face.

"Boss, the wine here is good, it shouldn't go away... I'll be honest, believe it or not... Hurry up and pack up your valuable things and run to the east of the kingdom, this city is not safe, once the desolate orcs break through the front line, they won't be able to run away when they kill here, and the refugees who can escape from the fallen city are really... Too little. ”

Although it was a little ridiculous, the tavern owner subconsciously asked.

"Where is it safe to flee?"

"Rusbella, the big merchant said that the confluence of the two rivers of Rusbella, connecting the east and west of the kingdom and blocking the east and west of the kingdom at the same time, is where the natural danger lies, and after the rout ahead, only there can block the desolate orcs with the natural danger. ”

Old Jack and his companion said this, putting the last bite of meat on the plate into their mouths and chewing it, and pulling out a coinage of great value from their bosom.

"Boss, it's the money for wine and food. ”

"No, no, no, this meal is my invitation, this is my invitation!!"

"Thank you then..."

Old Jack shook and got up from his seat with his companion.

"I've said too much tonight, we have to go, we don't dare to stay here any longer, we have to flee to the east of Rusbella to be at ease, and then we will find the great merchant, who says that he has gone back to his family to put everything in order, and has gathered all the wealth that the family has prepared for hundreds of years, and is ready to help the Savior as best he can when he is born. ”

"Remember what I said, everyone, don't leak tonight's news casually, unless it is someone you are very close to and willing to believe, you may be arrested by the kingdom for demagoguery, and besides, the way to escape is not wide, if there are too many people who know, maybe you won't be able to escape..."

Old Jack and his companions left these words, and pushed open the tavern door and left, and a few of the drinkers tried to follow them, but found that the two had disappeared into the night after going out, and had to come back in a huff.

No one spoke loudly in the tavern for a long time, just drinking worriedly.

"Bang ......"

The sound of the door being pushed open startled everyone, and then they found that two fat men had entered, also regular customers here.

"Oh my God, there was no sound from the crowd, I thought the bubble tavern was really closed!!"

"Hahahaha, what are you doing, there is no sound at all, boss, two glasses of foam liqueur!!"

The two of them came in with a big grin, asked for a drink, and sat down at an empty table in the center.

It's just that the dreary atmosphere around is too curious after all.

"I said, what the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is going on? You don't laugh out loud when you drink?"

A fat man kept asking questions around him.

"Hmph... That is, you don't know how to laugh......"

"What's going on?"

The two fat men couldn't help it even more.

"Noso, we're good friends... The owner, we came every day for a drink!!"

The person on the side looked left and right, then gritted his teeth.

"When you hear this today, it's rotten in your stomach!!No one can understand except your closest relatives, right??"

Seeing that everyone in the bar had a serious face, the two fat men subconsciously restrained their smiles and nodded.

"Uh-huh!!Tell us!!"
