Chapter 32: Prophecy

The ruins gradually emerge from the earth, like the morning sun illuminating the city, first with the remnants of the stone walls, then with all sorts of half-remaining debris, and finally with fires and roads.

The city, which was more than 4,000 years old, is now nothing but rubble made of stones, but most of the people who participated in the excavation were still amazed.

After all, it is very rare to dig a building out of such a deep underground.

Magellan is still trying to slow down the excavations, and although no important artifacts have been destroyed, he has no confidence in the fanatical villagers at all.

It was already noon, and the desert heat was blowing, and the heat was rising on the excavation site.

Magellan climbed up from the bottom of the huge pit and was helpless to find a few villagers still on the site.

"Let them get out of here, or they won't have the strength to work in the afternoon." ”

Bloodhoof knew Magellan was right, but the villagers were so caught up in the treasure hunt that they would turn a blind eye to anyone's obstruction.

The Bull Man was more anxious than Magellan, he knew that the dragon prince was about to find this place, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Magellan eventually gave up trying to get the villagers to leave, picking out a few important artifacts from the tent at the edge of the pit and leaving the site.

On the outskirts of Baghdad is a huge oasis, and there are no small village bazaars beyond the walls, but beyond the western gates, the terrifying power of the desert is so desolate that even the avenues out of the city quickly disappear under the dunes.

Under the clear sky, the sun was like a rain of arrows, constantly attacking everyone on the ground, there was not a trace of wind in the air, and there was silence all around, as if the whole world had been sunburned.

Magellan, with his white head wrapped around his head, looked down at the sand, and walked forward in silence.

In his eyes, the sand was red.

After a chance encounter with the demon prince, the countess used magic to strengthen Magellan's disguise, his head wrapping was far from a simple batch of white cloth, and in order to hide the black eyes, the countess also made a pair of contact lenses with gemstones.

The color was a vivid burgundy, more mellow than fiery red, deeper than pink, for which the Countess ruined a large magical gem.

But Magellan only thought he must look stupid now.

On top of that, it's easy to modify the contours of your face, and Dantes knows how to use the depth of your skin tone to affect your appearance.

As he walked, he recalled the harvest of this morning, nothing unexpected, nothing of value.

When the gate arrived, Magellan turned and walked towards the alley on his right, and when he heard the footsteps of a man, he dodged sideways.

Then he stopped.

Footsteps came from a short distance ahead, and it sounded strange.

Magellan looked up, and then saw a demon at the end of the alley.

As the legend goes, this tall young man was far stronger than ordinary humans, not as tall and muscular as an orc, but with an aura close to feeling, and he strode towards Magellan, his gaze sweeping as if he had seen an ant.

Magellan felt that he should not have shown something that he should not have shown, but for a moment, he hesitated to turn away.

Yuan Chi walked forward along the alley, holding six copper pieces with round square holes in his hand, these copper pieces were engraved on one side and blank on the other, no matter how his hand moved, the copper pieces that fell in the end were always the same.

The two met in the middle of the alley.

Magellan finally felt the horror of the legendary demons, a race from an unknown world, and the first thing they did after crossing the maelstrom to this world was to spread the scourge to most of the world, and the legend said it was purely instinctual.

Yuan Chi glanced sideways at Magellan.

"Your eyes ......"

His voice was steady, but there was an ominous aura.

"It's a beautiful ......"

Magellan looked up with a blank expression.

He obviously lowered his head just now, why did this demon see his eyes?

"It's a shame you don't have a daughter yet. ”

Yuan Chi looked at the expression on the face of the strange man in front of him, and a vague feeling rose in his heart, he was familiar with this expression, and many times, he couldn't help but want to see it.

Magellan bowed his head, quickened his pace, and left the alley.

......

"More than that," said the countess, laying down a stone with an unknown pattern inscribed on it, "your chance encounter with the prince is a little more useful. ”

"I never thought I'd meet a demon before," Magellan sighed helplessly, and the countess had one more reason for him not to take off his contact lenses, "Is the legend true?"

"What legend?" the countess laughed, "the demons can defeat an army alone?"

"Demon Clan's Ominous Talent ......"

"Of course it's true," the countess's affirmation surprised Magellan a little, "any race from the Maelstrom has its own talent, and the demons are the same, in fact, the relevant research is not rare, but there are too many untrustworthy legends and horror stories. ”

"What about the Golden Bloodline?"

"Nonsense," the countess looked disdainful, "of course it's not completely unfounded, the Golden Family has gained a lot of things from the Dragon Nation that we know very little, and that's what makes a demon clan extraordinarily conspicuous." ”

"Like prophecy?"

The countess began to understand what Magellan was trying to say: "Do you think this is not a chance encounter......"

"He's alone, and he knows exactly where he's going. I saw six round copper plates in his hands......"

"That's the dragon kingdom coin," the countess gave Magellan a strange look, "you seem to know a little bit about the dragon kingdom." ”

"I just wasn't interested. ”

"It is a very popular form of prophecy, supported by a set of theories akin to philosophy or mathematics, and the effect varies from person to person...... "The countess sighed, "I know of some people whose prophecies are never wrong. ”

So this is the trouble at hand, and if these two are not chance encounters, which are almost certainly not, then maybe the next time the demon prince will be able to find the countess.

"Hurry up and finish the digging, and get out of here," Magellan couldn't think of any other way, "we just need to get out of the way." ”

"Perhaps I must tell you bad news," laughed the countess, "and just now I thought it was good news. ”

"What?"

"I found the clue. ”
