Chapter VIII
After listening to Evan's words, the Sage of Egbert basically determined that Evan was a person of divine inspiration like himself, but the old man was still shocked, because the child was already a thousand years after being looked at, and the old man thought of a possibility, the person that Ewen saw could be the supreme being, a thousand years at a glance? The old man shook his head, feeling a trace of despair growing in his heart.
Evan looked at the old man for a long time without reacting to his words, so he spoke, "Sage Egbert, what the hell is going on, when I asked for directions on the street, the man told me that the city-state of Mfei disappeared a thousand years ago, is this true?
The old man listened to the child's anxious inquiry and signaled the child not to be in a hurry. The old man casually cast a shielding spell in his hand, and then slowly spoke, "Child, do you believe in the existence of gods? not the so-called gods of religion, but real gods, beings beyond this world itself. β
Ai Wen didn't know how to answer after hearing the old man's question, the child himself was not a believer in gods, and his master usually disdained those so-called gods, but the old man also said that they were not those so-called gods in religion. These words were beyond the child's comprehension, and the child did not answer.
The old man saw the child's reaction a little clear, and he didn't want to believe it when he first came into contact with this, but the fact was that he had nowhere to escape if he wanted to.
The old man continued, "There is a being in this world who is beyond this world itself, and we people call him God. What happened to you, from your description, you were looked at by a person and woke up and everything changed, you directly crossed the river of time for more than a thousand years, 1,280 years to be exact, and the person you saw was probably that existence. β
Ai Wen was stunned when he heard the old man's words, and he couldn't say a word, the child vaguely felt that what the person said might be true, but he still had a trace of fantasy, after the old man confirmed, the child's mood suddenly became very heavy, and the child trembled and asked, "Then, what about Patrick, what about my master?"
The old man sighed softly and said, "More than a thousand years ago, Patrick suddenly came to me like crazy, saying that his disciple Evan suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, but he didn't feel any magic fluctuations. Wish I could go and check it out, I promised. I came with him to the place where you disappeared and found nothing, I didn't feel any spatial fluctuations at the time, I didn't find any traces of magic, and then the thing was gone. After this, about a year later, Patrick failed a mission and died in the line of duty. β
Since the incident, the child has been frightened, tired of running, and has not eaten much for a few days, after getting the news, the child's tense nerves finally couldn't bear it, and the child passed out directly.
When the old man saw the child fainting, he immediately picked up the child, and after checking the child's condition, he breathed a sigh of relief, but fainted with hunger and sadness. The old man carried the child back to his room, put the child on the bed, and asked the association's kitchen to prepare some food.
Evan woke up after sleeping for a while, the child just woke up and sat on the bed in a little confusion, the child turned his head to look, and when he saw the old man again, the child reacted, and the child was about to get up and get off the bed. The old man waved his hand and motioned for the child to lie down, and said, "You are a little weak now, lie down, and when the food is delivered, you can sleep well after eating." β
As soon as the old man's voice fell, a voice came from the door, "Sage Egbert, what you want is ready." The old man replied, "Then come in." The door opened, and a tall man walked in with a plate of steaming food, put down the plate in his hand, and bowed gracefully to the old man before withdrawing.
The old man motioned for the child to come down and eat, but the child shook his head and said that he was not hungry and did not want to eat. The old man sighed, he had lived for almost two thousand years, and he didn't know how much he had experienced life and death, and he was more or less used to it. But for a child, it is still difficult to accept the departure of the person closest to him, not to mention that the child's experience is so bizarre and even ridiculous, for the child, he just saw a god in his cultivation but lost more than a thousand years, and all the people he was familiar with left him, which is almost incomprehensible to the child. The old man had no choice but to say, "Aven, do you want Patrick to be disappointed?" Patrick always wanted you to live happily, and you responded to him like this. β
After hearing the old man's words, Ai Wen began to cry bitterly, but he still got out of bed and sat on the chair next to the table and pulled the food on the plate into his mouth, and the child cried while eating. The child wanted to leave here after thanking the old man, and he had no relatives with the old man and could not always rely on the old man.
The old man grabbed the child, "Aiwen, do you know what what happened to you before?" The child shook his head, and the old man continued, "Do you know what realm you are now?" The child continued to shake his head, and the old man looked at the child and said, "Since you entered the door before, I found that you are already a Holy Order, and it has not been long since you became a Holy Order. When the child heard the old man's words, his eyes widened, and he seemed to be in disbelief.
The old man ignored the child's expression and continued, "The reason for all this is only because you saw that being when you were practicing, and once like you, I saw a similar scene to you when I broke through the Holy Stage, but I didn't see that being, but one thing is certain: you are both inspired people like me, and there are many inspired people like us in this world, and you have established an organization-Dawn. β
After the old man said this, he stopped to see how the child reacted, but the child was listening but couldn't understand the expression, the old man smiled and didn't understand it for the time being, and then said, "I'll take you to a place and you'll understand everything." β
Ai Wen said weakly, "Can I not go?" The old man laughed and did not speak, but directly waved his hand, and a teleportation circle that occupied the entire room appeared. Then the teleportation circle fluctuated, the child and the old man disappeared in the circle, when the child and the old man appeared again, they had come to a huge square, the child looked at the square in front of him with wide eyes, the child looked at the surrounding environment in shock, in this huge square was surrounded by continuous buildings, between these buildings erected dozens of huge mage towers, scattered a few people in robes walking in the square, and then saw the old man and the child after a few robes smiled and greeted, nodded slightly to the child, the old man also responded with a smile, and the child also smiled stifflyγ After that, the robed men walked towards one of the mage towers.
The child looked up at the old man and asked with a confused expression, "Where is this?" the old man smiled kindly, "Someone will tell you all later." As soon as the old man's voice fell, a man in a white robe appeared directly in front of the child and the old man, and the person who came glanced at the child, and the child only felt as if his heart had stopped breathing.
After seeing the visitor, the Sage of Egbert stepped forward and bowed slightly. The visitor nodded and said, "Egbert, who is this child?" The voice of the visitor was old, as if it had been precipitated by the years. Egbert said respectfully, "Prophet, this child is considered a disciple of my student. Then the old man, Evan told the man who was called the Prophet the Opportunity as it was.
After the old man finished speaking, the old man who became a prophet took off the hat of his robe, and a face that did not match his voice was revealed, although it was gray-haired, but that face was like a middle-aged man, and the prophet nodded first, "It is indeed with a faint and unusual aura." Then he looked at the child and asked, "Son, what's your name?" β
Aven had been startled by the prophet's glance, but now looking at the prophet's smiling face, he replied, "My name is Aven, prophet." The Prophet nodded and said, "Aven, a symbol of hope, a good name." "The child is very happy, the name was given by his mother.
The Prophet continued, "Aven, I know you are very confused right now, come with me, and I will tell you about this slowly. Then he turned to Egbert and said, "Egbert, you go back first, and the affairs over there will be entrusted to you." Egbert nodded and said, "Don't worry, prophet, do what I can." Then the old man directly activated the teleportation array and left here.
After the prophet saw the old man leave, there was also a flash of light, and the prophet took Evan back to his room, the prophet motioned for Evan to sit casually, handed Evan a cup of hot tea, and slowly said, "Evan what do you know about our world?" The child shook his head and said that he didn't know anything. The Prophet continued, " About 100,000 years ago today, our ancestors first knew that there was a great being outside this world, our ancestors called him a god, but no one had seen this god with their own eyes, but there is a lot of evidence that points to the existence of gods, such as us who are inspired by God, and you are also an outsider, in this long river of about 100,000 years, all the inspired people have not seen anyone in that space, and you are the first, through your description, after you met that person, your time was lost for more than a thousand years, and it is basically certain that the person you see has a direct relationship with that godBut we can't be sure that it was the god, and the reason we inspired people gathered together was that someone got a time period from what all the inspired people saw about 90,000 years ago: 128,000 years. No one knows what this term represents, but there are countless speculations, and I won't tell you any of them now, because I hope you can come up with this answer yourself. See, Aven, our academy is called Dawn, because we hope that what awaits us will be Dawn, and you may be our Dawn now. β
After listening to the words of the prophet, Ewen could not calm down for a long time, these are too fantastical and a little scary for the child, the child is never a bold person, after hearing the deadline, the child's first reaction is that this is the countdown to the destruction of the gods? The child was taken aback by his own thoughts, but he did not dare to say it.
The prophet seemed to know the child's inner thoughts and smiled, "Aven, there is no need to rush to conclusions, and there is no need to be nervous. You can stay in the academy and think slowly, would you like to?"
Ai Wen thought that his master was gone, he had taken too many things away in a thousand years, and he had nothing to worry about in this world, so the child nodded gloomily and said that he was willing to stay in the academy.
When the Prophet saw that the child agreed, he said, "All right, you will live in my Dharma's Tower." So saying, the Prophet got up and motioned for the child to follow, and led the child to a large room with all the necessities, and the Prophet pointed to the room and said, "This is your bedroom." β
Then he motioned for the child to continue walking, and there was a door next to the child's room, and the prophet led the child to the door and pushed the door open, and there was a huge library in front of the child's eyes, and the prophet pointed to the books in the library and said, "Here is all the knowledge and what has happened in this world, I think you should be interested." This is a portal library in a different dimension, and each mage tower will have a door to him, so you will also meet other people here, don't panic. β
Ai Wen nodded, looking at the library in front of him and feeling incredible, the books inside were stacked on the shelves, and countless bookshelves were neatly arranged in the library. When the child heard the prophet's explanation, he said, "I see, prophet, can I read all the books in this?"
The Prophet nodded, "Yes, any book will do." The child bent down to thank the Prophet, who nodded and said, "You go and rest first, the food will be delivered through the teleportation array every day, you don't have to worry about this, you can concentrate on studying the books here." β
Ai Wen looked very happy, he didn't have to worry about having no food to eat and so many books to read every day, which was very good for the child, if only the master could come together, the child remembered that his master was in a low mood again, but the child remembered what the Egbert Sage had said to him before, and the child felt that he should live well and not let his master be disappointed in himself. After greeting the prophet, the child plunged headlong into the library.
After entering the library, the child was confused and did not know where to start, so the child decided to visit first and make a decision. So the child walked around in the library, and there were many people there to study carefully, and the child walked and found a book that was very interesting to the child, the title of the book was "The Second Age", and the child picked up this book and found that there was a book behind the book, "The Third Age", the child was a little puzzled, why there was no "First Age", could it be from the beginning of the "Second Age"? The child shook his head suspiciously, but at this time, a clear voice came from behind him, "Little friend, I haven't seen you before, new here?" Evan heard the voice behind him and turned to look at the person, it was a young-looking woman, and the woman was holding a book in her hand, which was the book "The First Age".
Evan nodded, "Yes, I just came here today, my name is Evan . The woman was shocked when she heard the name Avan, and then stared at the boy and looked at it again, as if she was remembering something, and after a while, the woman stretched out her hand, smiling like a flower, but tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Hello, Aven, my name is Sharon."
