223

This book of prophecy is full of mysteries, and the more he reads it, the more he doubts the prophecies recorded on it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Putting down the prophecy book, Zhang Xiao rubbed his eyebrows, his heart full of confusion.

The prophecies in this manuscript are clearly written by the same person and were written at different times.

The same conclusion can be drawn from the depth and color of the handwriting, including the color of the handwritten paper.

In fact, the time span of the seven prophecies (including the Eye of Salvation) may be several decades.

- Zhang Xiao came to this conclusion from the degree of wear and tear on the first page and the page of the Eye of Redemption.

This made Zhang Xiao extremely curious about the real owner of this notebook, but it was also the reason why he doubted the prophecy on this notebook.

You know, if the prophecy is not to fool people, then it must have great restrictions and consumption, or lifespan, or national fortune, in short, it must follow the principle of equivalent exchange to a certain extent, which is a very important thing.

- "Future" tips don't come cheap.

So what did the owner of the notebook in front of him, this prophecy involving the secrets and changes of several worlds, pay for it?

…… Or rather, what can he give? How can he repeatedly pay the price of peeking into the future of the world?

The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Xiao doubted this notebook, and the more he doubted the prophecy recorded above.

However, the first and second prophecies are so true and credible based on the information available so far.

He thought of Dio, this notebook should not have appeared in the world, even if Dio who has seen it doesn't believe it, he will definitely not let it wander out casually, if it is replaced by Zhang Xiao, if he doesn't believe it, then he would rather destroy it.

Not to mention, Dio clearly knew something about the book, which he called the Book of Prophecy, which didn't look like he didn't know anything about.

In this case, it could only be that Jotaro Kujo and his gang snatched this notebook after killing Dio.

But in the same way, even if Jotaro Kujo and his gang get the note after defeating Dio and understand the prophecy recorded on it, then, it is conceivable, they still won't let this thing flow out.

They should even value it more than dio.

Because, it was a prophecy about Dio, and with Jotaro Kujo's approach, it was hard to imagine that he would keep such a scourge.

- He burned all the notebooks in which Dio studied his double, so why did he leave behind this unknown book of prophecy?

"Unless ......"

Zhang Xiao's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility.

He picked up the book of prophecies again and rummaged back and forth, but this time his eyes were no longer looking at the prophecies, but as if he were looking between the lines.

However, the Book of Prophecy looked old and ordinary, and it didn't look like it was hiding any secrets, and its only hidden magic array had been activated by Dio decades ago, and its power had been exhausted and disappeared.

But Zhang Xiao looked serious that he would definitely be able to find something, and he searched carefully and patiently little by little, and he didn't even let go of the cover and back cover.

I don't know how long it took, the sun in the sky was getting higher and higher, Zhang Xiao's cold body gradually warmed up, and he finally had an expression on his wooden beam, revealing joy.

"Found it!"

His fingertips groped for a pattern on the Book of Prophecy, which at first glance was the same pattern on every page of the Book of Prophecy, also left with a pen, like some kind of vine, like some kind of flower and leaf, or just meaningless decoration.

They are the same but different, the same style has different details, but it can be seen that the same person did it, just like a symbol left by a nobleman who likes to express his feelings, so Zhang Xiao has never suspected what is hidden in this.

Until I don't know how many times I turned the page from this page, Zhang Xiao inadvertently noticed a slight disobedience.

Although the patterns left by these essays do not seem to have a specific image, but after looking through it more, the careful Zhang Xiao still found that the line of patterns was different.

- That's obviously some kind of plant, a plant that Zhang Xiao knows!

“laudis-nobilis…… Bay laurel! ”

To be exact, bay leaves, the oblong, lanceolate leaves on the curved branches, aren't they bay leaves?

Of course, most people also know that it is a spice.

However, Zhang Xiao remembered this thing, not because he ate it or studied plants, but mainly because he knew the [laurel] that this thing had compiled that represented honor and victory.

Moreover, the laurel crown is quite regional, or mysterious, and it involves a certain god......

“…… Apollo. ”

The sun god Apollo, like Athena, belongs to the Greek god system, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, and his strength is by no means below Athena.

He and the Laureate ...... Or the connection of laurel can be said to be a love tragedy.

The beginning of the story begins with Apollo's reprimand to Cupid, the little god of love.

When Apollo saw Cupid, the little god of love, playing with a bow and arrow, he unceremoniously said to Cupid, "Hey! Bows and arrows are very dangerous things, so children should not play with them. ”

Cupid, the little god of love, has two arrows, and those who are shot by sharp arrows made of gold can ignite the passion of love; On the other hand, if you are shot by a blunt arrow made of lead, you will have a great aversion to love.

Apollo's reprimand was upset with Cupid, so Cupid decided to seek revenge on him.

He shot Apollo with arrows of gold, but he also shot blunt arrows of lead at Daphne, the daughter of the beautiful river god near Apollo.

As a result, when Apollo saw the beautiful Daphne, he fell incorrigibly in love with her, but the reward was a more neat rejection of Daphne, who was already indifferent to love and marriage.

"Go away! I hate love! Get away from me! ”

With that, Daphne fled, but Apollo did not give up and followed all the way.

Later, Apollona played a beautiful tune on the harp, and everyone including Daphne was attracted to it, but in the end, Daphne's disgust for love made Daphne continue to flee, completely ignoring the sincere Apollo.

Until Daphne had no escape, was blocked by a river, and was about to be overtaken by Apollo, Daphne prayed to her father (the river god): "My dear father, please save me, please hide me, whatever becomes of me." ”

The river god heard his daughter's request, and he turned Daphne into a laurel tree, which made Apollo remorseful and cried over the laurel tree.

But it didn't end there, although Daphne had turned into a laurel tree, Apollo still loved her. Apollo gazed at the laurel tree and said infatuatedly, "Although you have not been my wife, I will love you forever, and I will make my laurel crown with your branches and leaves, my harp with your wood, and my bow with your flowers, and I will give you eternal youth, and I will not grow old." ”

Because of the blessing of Apollo, the laurel tree is evergreen all year round, drawing an unsatisfactory end to this love tragedy.

Therefore, when he saw Laurel, Zhang Xiao unconsciously remembered Apollo, and therefore had more doubts about this notebook.

Zhang Xiao fumbled for this pattern painted with laurel, and the expression on his face became interesting.

Because it stands to reason that this prophecy recorded in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic variants should have been handed down from the world of the Egyptian god system - no matter how you look at it, this is all a means that Horus arranged for himself to invade the world.

But on this thing, why is there such a "Greek" thing as "laurel"?

"Greek gods...... Egyptian gods...... Horus...... Apollo ......"

No, there are ......

"Athena!"
