Chapter 4: The Mystic Prophet

"I think we'd better get back to the wagon. The woman who was called the Prophet said.

Gomez told Jocano that he was going back to the carriage to meditate for a while, and returned to the carriage with the Prophet.

"I didn't expect you to show up, they're all dead, why aren't you dead?" Gomez asked menacingly, closing the car door.

"It's not my job to fight. I was just a guide, and I am now. The prophet sat opposite, giving Xiao Chen a chance to take a closer look at her face, but the hood of her entire cloak was obscured by a misty white light, and her facial features were completely invisible.

"Hasting's group of guys from the Magic United Council are blinded by your so-called prophecy, so they will desperately launch an attack on the gods, if according to my opinion, first unify the entire continent, and then pour the power of the entire continent, accumulate more than ten years of strength, cultivate a large number of saint-level and master-level mages, make a large number of holy weapons, and finally attack the divine domain, isn't it much more certain? Now that the unification war has just been halfway fought, it has been abandoned halfway, and there are still more than ten countries that have not been conquered; elves, dwarves, orcs, and sea tribes have not been controlled; the power of the natural temple in the human world has not been damaged at all; it is not wise to gamble in the god domain in a hurry with the power of the seven towers!" Gomez said sharply.

Xiao Chen still remembered that he had heard two bards and spies of the Temple of Wisdom sing the legend of Hasting, it seemed that the rumors in the ballad were exaggerated after all, Hasting's sphere of influence was far less powerful than in the legends of later generations, and it was not his idea to attack the Divine Domain alone, but the joint decision of the principals of the Seven Towers. Maybe the Tower of Swords' Black Stin is just a representative of the crowd.

"I've seen the scene you're talking about, where you're the elected leader of the United Council of Magic. The Prophet said.

"Don't you still talk nonsense?" Gomez scoffed, "and you think I'll believe this nonsense?"

"On that occasion, it took you ten years to unify the continent, and no matter the race, humans, elves, or dwarves eventually came under the rule of the Mage Federation, and even the orcs, goblins, and sea people contributed to your magical empire as slaves.

As the consul of the Mage Council, you are much more powerful than you are now, and you have become the most powerful person in the world, no one has a greater empire than you since ancient times, and naturally no one has more power than you.

You have waged a war against the Temple of Nature. The Mage Coalition, which gathered the power of the entire continent, defeated the Nature Temple one after another, and retreated to the last bastion of the Nature Temple. The Priests of the Golden Bough died either in battle or in sacrifice to the god of nature.

However, just after you completely destroyed the Temple of Nature, the God of Nature awakened. The closer God is to awakening, the more energy he gets, the faster his strength recovers, and in the past ten years, his strength has become much, much stronger than it is now, and you have endured the true wrath of God in front of that fortress, and that scene is difficult to describe in words. In short, the result was that the elite of the Seven Towers, including you, were killed and wounded, and no one escaped from that battlefield. Subsequently, the gods of nature not only swept away all the magic towers, but also destroyed many human cities, and the wealth, culture, and technology accumulated by people over thousands of years were lost in history, and human civilization was returned to the beginning...... Retreat to the days when the spark of civilization was just ignited and there was almost nothing. ”

"Why did the God of Nature do this?" Xiao Chen couldn't wait for Gomez's answer, and couldn't help but ask.

The prophet did not speak, but looked at Xiao Chen, although Xiao Chen could not see her facial features and expression at all, he had a feeling that this woman was looking at him seriously, "because she was afraid...... , the more human beings develop, the less they need gods. Today, the Seven Holy Pagodas will do something to kill the gods, and tomorrow there will be other people who will do the same, so it is not okay to inflict a certain blow on the human race from time to time. ”

"Then why didn't he just wipe out all the humans?" Xiao Chen was puzzled.

"If you take care of a garden, will you burn all the flowers and plants because of the thorns?" the Prophet asked rhetorically, "Aren't you going to do regular weeding and pruning?"

Xiao Chen was thinking about the prophet's words, and Gomez took the initiative to speak again: "All this you said is just ridiculous inference. Like the stories you told to the Mage Council before. I remember that it was another completely different version, what to say...... If the mages do nothing, they will usher in the awakening of the god of nature sooner, and he will lead the temple of nature, sweeping away all the power of the mages. ”

"You know there are smart people in the Mage's Council who know how to deduce the right choice. ”

"But the ending now seems to be no different from the two stories you mentioned, the elite of the Seven Holy Towers was almost wiped out, and the few of us who were left were hunted down by the Temple of Nature, fleeing for their lives. So what's the point of attacking God's Domain?" Gomez asked.

"The significance is that history has been completely changed, and the awakening of the god of nature has been interrupted. The mages of the Seven Holy Towers have fulfilled their mission. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure they forced the god of nature to wake him up and hit him hard, leaving him in a deep slumber again. This will give us enough time to wait for the power that can truly end him to appear. The prophet's tone betrayed a sense of historical heaviness.

"The Seven Holy Towers are just props to stall for time, you knew in advance that they would never come back, did you?" Master Gomez glared at him.

The Prophet nodded slowly, "Do you think they don't have such enlightenment?"

"They ......" Gomez seemed to think of something, and instead of questioning her as before, he asked, "Then what are you coming to me for?"

"I'm here to persuade you to reach a compromise with the people of the Nature Temple. In many possible futures, you have all died with your pursuers in different ways. ”

"It's the last dignity of the Tower of Dreams, isn't it?"

"Oh no! This is not the most valuable future. ”

Gomez's face was cloudy, "Even if I agree, how sure are you that they will compromise with us?"

The Prophet explained: "For as clergy, they are well aware of the resurgence of the God of Nature. They will not have the true support of the gods for a long time to come, and it is impossible for them to destroy all the mages. And the two successive battles just now have made them understand that fighting with you, you will make them pay an unbearable price. In this case, it is natural to talk about it. ”

"Is this some kind of conspiracy?" Gomez looked hesitant, and his limited contact with the woman had made him know that everything she did was interconnected and interconnected like a chain.

The Prophet said calmly, "There is no conspiracy, just a simple reason: the legacy of the Tower of Dreams must be maintained. ”
