Chapter 40: Prophecy
Hongyan obediently took the ice water egg and picked up the spoon to eat.
The dew-like coolness and the silky sweet egg aroma, although extremely delicious, provoked Hongyan's taste buds, but Hongyan didn't know what kind of deliciousness the food on this table was, after all, Hongyan had not really tasted food, and this kind of formal meal was the first time.
Although the meal comes first, I'm afraid everyone here is worried about it right now.
Powell's change is by no means accidental, and it can be slightly detected in that extremely real dream, but I'm afraid only Hongyan has the most contact, the man in black, the shadow boy, and Hedy Sarah, who is likely to be the caster of the forbidden spell, just don't know what Goode's purpose is, which still needs his own explanation.
The thing is delicious, but because of the silkworm food, Hongyan didn't eat too much, he tasted a little bit and left a bunch of leftover grain, and looked up to see that he was actually the last to end, according to the rules, it should be the end point of Gude's meal, but Yan Meng'er seems to want Hongyan to behave naturally, which is also what Hongyan himself thinks.
A few people came out of the dark shadow to clean up the table, it was they who brought the food, and then disappeared into the darkness, it should be Gude's guard, and his cultivation is probably far higher than everyone here, and it is easy to kill Hongyan and the others in seconds.
In that case, what are they worried about?
Eight people sat quietly around the square table, all waiting for the first person to speak.
"Hongyan-san, what do you think is the significance of this dinner?" asked Goode.
Hongyan was straightforward, Erlang's legs were cocked, "What's the matter with you, anyway, you're full of food and drink, we'll leave first if it's okay." β
The burly man glared angrily, but unfortunately he didn't dare to be rude anymore.
Goode smiled, "Hongyan-san is really bold, since that's the case..."
Sending off a guest is a threat, saying something is a request, Hongyan sat and waited for Gude's next sentence.
"In that case, let's kill the four here. Goode smiled, cold words.
Not to mention the four of Hongyan, even the burly and Kedokrona were stunned.
Four people burst out of the black shadow in an instant, and the cold blade stopped at the neck of Hongyan and the others.
Hongyan didn't move and was even waiting, but the blade still stayed and had no intention of cutting down.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" said Goode with a laugh.
"I'm not afraid, but don't scare Anna, or we'll not be good-tempered. β
Goode waved his hand, and the shadow receded.
If you want to kill, don't say now, as early as stepping into the gate of Tiande Academy, a few people died, and the five schools of Hengling would be worried about the four quasi-level little kids?
"Anna, don't be afraid, it's fine. Hongyan smiled at Juliana, who was scared silly, Hongyan was not worried about Yan Meng'er and Andy, but was afraid of scaring the naΓ―ve Anna.
Seeing the watery eyes, Anna Goode was full of apologies: "I'm sorry I was rude." β
Anna is still in the state of soul flying, let alone now, in fact, she is in a state of confusion all night, intrigue she will not detective suspect her, let alone her, I feel that she is the hamster who has lost her mind, staring at the sky with wide eyes.
"If there is a request according to our interests, we will try our best to help, after all, we were sent by Bu Xingyu to study and exchange, to put it bluntly, it is to use Tiande's resources and not to be a student of Tiande, but if you continue to test in this way, then I think we have no room for communication. Hongyan Zhengse said, he was almost out of character, "What are you trying to probe? What do you want to know? I don't think the four of us have anything that can make Principal Tiande's grandson care." β
Goode smiled helplessly, "First of all, I sincerely apologize for everything that just happened. β
Goode pushed the wheelchair back and bowed deeply, and Wu Lang also got up and bowed, obviously the two of them knew everything, because Burly and Certokrona still looked confused.
"Come with me. Goode turned his wheelchair and slid to the side of the Heavenly Star Pavilion, where there was another staircase, different from when Hongyan and the others came, this passage was the first floor of the bell tower.
The staircase for Hongyan and the others to ascend the Heavenly Star Pavilion does not pass through that bell tower, and this staircase seems to be the only entrance to the bell tower, which means that the great bell tower of His Excellency Tianxing is the last floor.
The six of them observed this level as if they had stepped into a new world, and judging by the expressions of Burly and Certokrona, they were also here for the first time.
The huge reverse clock is fixed, after all, it's the bell tower, and then there are piles of gears, but in the center is a huge empty door with crystals cut off.
It was a door frame, with transparent crystals inlaid on the top of the door, and there were reliefs and texts on the left and right, and the clock on the opposite side could not be seen inside the door, because it was pitch black, like a black hole.
"Portals?"
"You are really not an ordinary person, and there are no more than five people in the entire Tiande who can tell the portal at a glance. Goode said.
"After all, this thing is a rarity, and I'm just guessing. Hongyan didn't think so, after all, he didn't necessarily know it, and the girl next to him must also know, Hongyan looked at Yan Meng'er and pouted.
Andy didn't know, but they didn't ask, because it didn't feel like they could interject.
Seeing that Hongyan's eyes swaying from side to side did not look serious, Goode shook his head helplessly, the serious Hongyan is too fake, the real Hongyan is too indebted, if Yan Meng'er hears this, he will definitely nod in agreement.
"So what does this have to do with us?" Hongyan was puzzled.
"You can go and see the inscription, there is a word on the door. β
A few people approached.
"Is this the text?" Anna finally couldn't suppress her curiosity, after all, the more the rune looked more and more like a tadpole.
"It's a spell, and it's usually only learned by a magician. Kedokrona said.
Hongyan further explained: "Do you still remember the magic array when Yan Meng'er and her spell duel in the afternoon, the text on it is like this. β
Cdotrona was stunned, looked at him and didn't speak again.
Anna sighed, but was still curious, "So what is this written?"
"The cold swallowed the temperature, despair turned into anger, the last light of longing was frozen in the heart, because of the blood of sacrifice, the destruction of Heng Ling began from Tiande..."Yan Meng'er read the incantation on the left door, she was rushing to read it, before Hongyan.
Hongyan smiled: "Are you going to destroy Hengling's declaration?" β
"This gate was dug out when Tiande was established, and this bell tower was also built at the site where it was dug out, and at that time no one knew the name Tiande except for Grandpa, and the destruction began with Tiande, and there was another meaning that the destruction began with Tiande. β
"Maybe it's a coincidence and the same name?"
"Look at the next sentence. β
"Hope is hidden in the door, the answer is lost in the forest, the children of Pippi who are left behind will come here, for the one who is seeking, the unknown path is clear outside the door..."
"The one you're looking forβ" Andy muttered.
Hongyan sighed and said, "Didn't Gu Li find out the origin of this preface?"
"There is no information to prove that it is true, and there is not a single clue that it is false, but it is at least 500 years old. β
"Did that crack the prophecy?"
"The blood of sacrifice has taken place, and the son of Pipsqueak has arrived, are you here to find someone?"
"Probably, but how did you determine the Blood of Sacrifice and the Children of Pipsqueak?" asked Hongyan.
Goode smiled bitterly, "I was by my side when my father and mother died, and the scattered blood flowers that day stained the hillside red, and the crystal of this door was lit up that day, and it was also from that day that Tiande's students began to disappear. β
"Missing?"
"Yes, one person disappears every month, and there is no clue, which is why basically no nobles are willing to come this time. β
Although it may hurt people, Hongyan still asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of presumptuousness, if it is really defined as the beginning of the blood of sacrifice, then shouldn't the inexplicable activation of this gate be suspected?"
"The ability of the people who can build this door is not something we are talking about. β
"Well, what about the sons of Pipsqueak? you don't mean us, do you? I don't know Pipsqueak. Hongyan said with a smile.
"It's irrefutable to say that we're the sons of Pippi. Yan Meng'er thought.
"Why?"
Anna pulled over Hongyan and said, "Hongyan, Pippi is Pwell's auspicious pet. β
"Well, that's right. β
"Hope is hidden in the door, the answer is lost in the forest, the door is here, and the forest is probably referring to Powell. β
Goode's words reminded Hongyan of the forest, Powell, who had become a catastrophic demon forest.
"Do you want us to get in?" asked Hongyan.
"We have sent people to try to enter this gate, but they have all been refused, I will not force you to try, after all, even if you can enter the portal then it is your will to come back or not, but I implore you, I don't want Tiande to become the second Powell, nor do I want Tiande to become the starting point for the destruction of Hengling. β
"That's why you're tempting us?"
"It's unknown outside the door, you can't let ordinary people take risks for no reason, even if you are really Powell students who don't have a certain ability to go, it's a waste, I was going to learn more information, but you didn't give it a chance. Goode said helplessly.
Hongyan didn't have a chance to look at this door again, hesitating, not knowing whether it was true or false, what should he do.
"For the person you are looking for, the unknown road is clear outside the door..."Andy repeated the sentence, the future?
"Mr. Hongyan, what will happen if we go in?"
Hongyan sighed, began to observe around the door, and said: "This portal should be two-way, and according to Goode, it should require a certain way of activation, no one has ever come and no one has ever entered, if we can really get in, then even if there is danger on the other side, we can come back with certain preparations, there should be no danger to life, but we don't know where to lead." β
"Can I give it a try?" said Andy.
"No, you can't. Hongyan directly vetoed.
"Why?"
"Because the crystal on the door looks like it can only support one teleportation at most, I think the other door should be the same, so..."
"Let's do it together. β
Let's accompany you to find Tong Hao, this is what Hongyan didn't say.
