The early morning did not bring more light to Morbius Mountain, and two figures could be faintly seen shuttling through the mountains and forests in the gray rain.

Isenus walked ahead, holding a branch in his hand as a crutch, which doubled as a pathfinder. Leo was a little behind, marking as much as he could.

Suddenly, Isenas, who was walking in front, turned around and shook his head, which meant that the mountain ahead was unstable and needed to find another way up the mountain.

The wind and rain in the mountains were so violent that it was difficult for the two of them to speak clearly, so they developed such a simple communication strategy before setting off.

Although the position of the sun was obscure under the clouds, with years of experience in the wild, Isenas could still accurately tell that it was noon.

"What kind of dragon do you think this dragon should be? In the midst of the rainstorm, Isenas said suddenly.

"What?" Leo, who was walking behind, didn't hear too clearly, and had to ask loudly.

"I said, what kind of dragon do you think we're going to fight. ”

Leo made a mark with two swords on a crooked tree with his backhand, and said weakly, "How do I know." Can you save some effort and stop talking, this mountain road is bad enough. ”

Esenas glanced at Leo.

"If you take a closer look, it's also called heavy rain now?"

"Huh?" Leo reached out to feel it.

Indeed, although the rain was heavy, it was not as heavy as at the foot of the mountain.

"It's unusual, but we might be able to infer something useful from this. Esenus slowed down and thought about it.

"If there is indeed a dragon on the mountain, and we assume that the abnormal weather is caused by this dragon. The change of objective things must be closely related to energy. If it can change the weather of this magnitude and degree, it must have the power to cause abnormal weather on such a large scale. So what kind of attribute energy would cause such a large area of rainstorm?"

"You mean we're going to face a dragon that can manipulate water?" Leo asked.

Isenus shook his head and denied the idea.

"If this is a water dragon, the closer we get to the top of the mountain, the more the rain should be. But it's only raining heavily. With this kind of rainfall, this crutch is already necessary. Esenus shook the branch in his hand and tossed it down the hill.

"We all know the conditions for rainfall, the first is a low enough temperature, the second is enough water, and the two conditions interact to meet certain requirements before rain falls, otherwise the weather will only be dry and cold or hot and humid. Yorktown was humid, but it wasn't enough to produce such a large amount of rain, and the temperature wasn't too cold, so something must have changed the humidity conditions. ”

As he walked, Isenas looked at the funnel-shaped clouds at the top of the mountain.

"Energy is always coming from high to low, and if all the heat in Mount Mebis is drained by this dragon, the heat from other regions will involuntarily rush to Mount Mebis like water will automatically fill the low-lying areas. Matter is the carrier of energy, and when the surrounding energy rushes to this caloric trough, it will also bring water vapor, so the sea next to it is the best water storehouse, which makes up for the humidity conditions of rainfall. ”

"If, as you say, it can absorb heat, then it must be a fire dragon?"

Esenas scoffed.

"Fire is fire, but dragons can't be said. ”

"What does that mean?" asked Leo curiously.

"At what point in your life will you eat more, and how much will you still feel hungry?"

"When I was a teenager, how much meat got into my stomach, I was still the same as if I had nothing. ”

"Yes. Isenus slowly pulled out the broadsword at his waist, "Because it is still in the growth period, it needs to constantly absorb heat, not release heat outward. In that case, it makes sense that the rain is getting lighter here. ”

Leo watched Isenas's movements, and although he didn't know why, he slowly drew the saber at his waist with Isenas.

"The basic information has been reasoned out, so our goal now is..."

As he spoke, Isenus stepped forward and stabbed straight with his sword, piercing an ancient tree and nailing it to a cloud of white hazy light.

The lightsabers intersected, and there was a clear "ding" sound, and a gray-white aura burst out from the intersection point, quickly sweeping over the trees, rain, dead branches and leaves. Everything that the aura passed by was silent, no longer making a sound, and the noisy mountainside became silent.

"Wow. Leo subconsciously praised.

The white hazy light gradually dissipated, and the figure of an old man was revealed.

"Hello, my friends. The warriors who stop the dragons, Leo and Isenas. ”

The old man wore a wide and fat robe, which covered his whole body tightly, and his head and face were clean and there was not a single hair. It looks outlier and weirder.

Leo and Isenas looked at each other.

Esenus thought for a moment, then sheathed his sword and picked up what he had not finished.

“... Find out what this old man is up to. ”

A question mark slowly floated over Leo's head: "Hey, are you going to let this old man go like this?"

"So what else can you do. Esenas shrugged. "Fight. ”

"That's not what I meant. Leo's sword slashed in the air. "Since we did it first, and there was no movement after one move, don't you feel ashamed?"

Isenus glanced at Leo contemptuously and said, "I never let my emotions affect my judgment. ”

Leo had no choice but to tuck the sword back into his waist in resignation.

The old man watched happily as they finished arguing, and then beckoned to them.

"Come with me, friends, it's safe for now, and we can find a comfortable place to talk for a while. But don't talk too long. ”

Isenus followed without hesitation.

Leo followed behind and shouted helplessly: "Shouldn't you be a little vigilant in the face of people who don't know the details?" ”

The two men followed the old man through a bush behind which was a small pit covered by a white mask with a tarp and some food in it.

The three of them sat inside, and Leo touched the dry ground around him and whistled.

"Oh, old man, it's very comfortable, and it's wine, brandy, it's much better than the little girl's wine, though her bean soup is pretty good. ”

After walking for most of the day, Leo was already hungry, so he immediately put his vigilance behind, grabbed the wine bottle and drank it.

Esenas glanced at Leo, who was eating and drinking.

Isn't it you the one who just said you need to be vigilant?

The old man looked at the two of them with a smile, and for a moment, a trace of joy at reunion after a long time appeared between his eyebrows.

He said with a pleasant face:

"Even though I consider ourselves friends—everyone in the prophecy is friends with me—I think I should introduce myself to you. My name is Omoni, you can call me Old Mo, I am a wizard of the prophecy department, I have taken the liberty to follow this place according to my little prophecy, I hope you will not be angry with me for being uninvited. ”

Leo feasted and drank, but Isenus just listened to the wizard with his chin on his back.

Isenus is amiable on the surface, but on the inside, he doesn't trust this wizard so much.

"Since you claim to be a wizard of prophecy and can call our names when you open your mouth, there is no need to repeat the information about us. ”

"Of course. Omoni nodded.

"What friends need is to get to know each other, and you know a lot about us, but we know almost nothing about you. So as a friend, do you have to answer a few questions from us? ”

"Of course, excuse me. ”

Isenas held his chin in his right hand and placed three fingers on his chest with his left hand.

"First, what was that aura just now. ”

"Second, what are your abilities. ”

"Thirdly, what is your purpose. ”

Leo, who was looking at the wine glass on the side, secretly screamed. These three questions are aimed at the current situation, from urgent to slow, from light to severe, and they buckle each other, and carefully design a small trap.

The first question is the most urgent and urgent. In danger, the most reliable thing is their own combat power, the unfavorable environment will significantly weaken the play of personal strength, and the aura that has just flashed has obviously changed something around them, if they don't figure this out, once they need to fight this old man, they will immediately fall into passivity.

The second question is a bit more relaxed. The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, not losing a hundred battles, and thinking about defeat before thinking about victory. If you have an understanding of other people's abilities, even if your own strength is insufficient, you can have more escape strategies when there is a conflict.

The third question is a bit more relaxed. In the case of ensuring your own safety, you can explore whether the other party's purpose conflicts with your own to ensure that your own goal is achieved.

The cunning thing about Issenas is that the three questions are superficially unrelated, but in fact if Omoni lies about one question, then the answer to all the questions can be overturned.

The role of the aura in the first question should be consistent with Omoni's ability in the second question, and the ability to answer the second question should be helpful to the purpose in the third question, and if there is a conflict, Isenus will be able to detect it immediately.

Lao Mo, who heard the deep meaning, touched the top of his bare head, and said helplessly: "You don't need to be so hostile to me, I will explain the cold on my head when I ask." ”

"That aura just now. Lao Mo pointed to the silently flying branches next to him and said. "It has the effect of absorbing and reducing energy fluctuations, and sound also has energy. It was already close to the dragon, and it was quiet to talk. ”

"And my abilities, as I said, I am a prophetic wizard, and in addition to being able to see what I will be involved in in the future, I also use the spells of arcane energy well. ”

"Because I will be going through countless difficult adventures with you in the future, I have come to this place where it all began. This tablet of fate is proof of this. ”

As he spoke, Lao Mo took out a crystal clear stone slab and pinched it in his hand, holding it in front of him to support his words.

Wisps of mist lingered on the slate, and many blurred images appeared in the mist.

Isenus frowned.

Although there are no loopholes in Omony's words just now, they cannot prove his intention, especially the vague statement about the prophecy, like a liar on the stall, except that the stone tablet in his hand looks mysterious, it cannot prove the truth of the prophecy at all.

He had no choice but to observe the slate in Omoni's hand, trying to see something out of it.

While Isenus was observing the slate, Omoni was also looking at Isenus through the slate.

However, before Isenas could figure out something, something happened suddenly.

With a "crackle", a surging pillar of fire crashed into the milky white shield.

The flames were split in two by the shield and burned towards the damp trees on either side, and after a few seconds, the shield made a soft bubble burst, and then dissipated along with the flames, and everything around it was charred in the flames.

The slate in Omoni's hand shattered at the sound, and countless fine pieces of powder vaporized into a rising white mist.

Lao Mo said regretfully: "The dating time is over, and now it's time for us to face the main owner of this matter." ”
