Ryan saw Red's sullen look, so he enlightened him and said, "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, so it's nothing.But I heard you say that Master Iber's health is very bad now, I remember when I saw him last year, his mental state was still very good, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with his body, could it be that this magic * only used it once and became like this?"

Red explained, "This Great Prophecy is not a simple attack demon*, it is a rule that uses the power of the gods to change the world, so that everything works more in line with the requirements of the caster." For example, if you are a strong warrior, then use the Great Prophecy to deprive him of his power and let him cause no harm to himself. For example, a fire-based fire* master can forcibly cut off his connection with the fire element, and without *gathering demon* energy, he will naturally not be able to *release demons*. ”

"Of course, what this demon *changes* is only temporary, but even a few seconds are enough to change the outcome of the battle. Red continued: "In normal times, this great prophecy can be used for other things, for example, it is impossible for everyone to know what will happen in the future, but through this magic, you can temporarily modify* the rules to predict the future, and simply predict what will happen in the future. Of course, this will pay a heavy price, usually depleting the life of the caster, which is the biggest reason why my teacher's health is getting worse and worse. ”

"Huh?" Ryan and Alendor were both aware of this for the first time, and they couldn't help but be surprised to hear Red's words.

Red went on to explain: "As archbishops of the Church of Light, one of the most important things they do is to plan ahead, to know as much as possible about the great crisis before it happens, and then to prepare* in advance to avoid the worst outcome. ”

"When *Rath and I left the Imperial Capital for an adventure, my teacher made such a prophecy, which consumed ten years of his life. ”

"What did that predict?" Ryan couldn't help but interrupt Red's words, interjecting, "If we can know what will happen in the future, doesn't that mean that these things can be avoided? ”

Red shook his head slowly, and Allendo spoke, "I don't think that's possible, Ryan." The Great Elders of our tribe have similar abilities, and it is said that they can communicate with animals and plants, and know in advance about some impending disasters. But how is it possible to know the specific location and scale of the disaster, that is, to take some precautions in advance, so as not to be in a hurry at that time. ”

"Yes!" Red nodded firmly and said, "Even the God of Light can't predict everything, otherwise when fighting with the demons, it would be good to directly attack the opponent's vital point, and it wouldn't last tens of thousands of years." My teacher only knew some simple things that would happen in the future, and those sentences were vague, and if you looked closely, you would find that there were many possibilities, and only when they really happened, did you suddenly understand what those sentences meant. ”

"Can you tell me what was prophesied?" asked Ryan.

"Yes, but I only know a few words, and my teacher doesn't like me to have too much contact with this. Red thought about it and said:

"A new surprise has emerged from an old mission, an angry beast flapping its ugly wings.

The raging fire overshadows the miracle that shatters the myth, and the beating heart does not change the ultimate fate.

The green enemies bring endless killing, and the resurrected devil starts a new *back. ”

Speaking of this, Red scratched his head and added: "I can't guarantee that this order will be correct, and this is not the complete content. ”

Ryan and Alendor savored the prophecies that Red said together, and always felt that what had happened before seemed to be connected a little bit, but as long as they carefully and deeply considered it from all aspects, they found that it did not seem to be entirely correct. After about thirty minutes, Ryan and Alendor both gave up on breaking the prophecy.

"Well, what's the difference between that and not saying it?" said Ryan, with a sigh, "It's better not to say it, so that you don't have to worry about it." ”

Red shrugged his shoulders and replied, "At least, when you really understand the content of these prophecies afterwards, you will surely have a feeling of worship for the god who uttered these prophecies, right?

Ryan can afford to take it and put it down, and since he can't figure it out, he doesn't think about it anymore. Besides, since he left his hometown, he has participated in a lot of big and small adventures, and in the end, he didn't rely on his own strength to come step by step. For Ryan, those adventures have increased his strength, and after improving his strength, he can go on more dangerous and exciting adventures.

If Ryan had known that Giethoorn would meet Senate, go to the Elmida Mine and face the Lich, participate in competitive tournaments and get into many bitter battles, follow the six arrows to meet Alexander, and go to Thor Fortress to open the killing ring, then there is no doubt that Ryan will be fully prepared before, but in this way, he will naturally not fight on the edge of life and death, how can he improve his strength so quickly, and what is the point of that kind of adventure like an outing?

"Forget it, we're not going to bother with it here. Ryan stood up and said, "There isn't much time now, so let's go see Master Iber first and complete the mission of our trip." ”

"Okay. Red and Alendor agreed together, and stood up at the same time, and Red said, "I'll lead the way." With that, he walked ahead.

The place where Master Ebel rested was in a very remote courtyard, and if it weren't for Red leading the way, Ryan would never have thought that the archbishop of the dignified Church of Light actually lived here, and there was no decoration in the entire courtyard, not even a single tree was planted, so it was bare.

Red pushed open the door to the room in the middle of the courtyard and was the first to enter. Ryan followed Red into the house, and it was pitch black, which was normal, given that it was getting late and there was no light source in the house. Red seemed to be very familiar with the place, and with the help of some light coming from the doorway, he fumbled around the table for a while, lit a candle the thickness of an arm, and the whole room suddenly became bright.

The moment Red lit the candle, Ryan closed his eyes slightly, and after a few seconds, Ryan felt comfortable with the transition from darkness to light, and opened his eyes. What caught my eye was an ordinary bed, on which lay an old man with hair, beard, eyebrows, and a face full of wrinkles, and he could not be seen at all.

Ryan was a little hesitant in his heart, although he said that he came to see Master Ibel, but as an archbishop, he actually lived in such a place, and the old man lying on the bed didn't do anything * Compared with the archbishop he had seen, at least during the Royal Athletic Competition, this Master Iber brought people a warm spring, but the one in front of him can definitely only be reminiscent of that bleak deep winter.

"Are you here?" the old man on the bed suddenly spoke, his voice had entered Ryan's ears, and Ryan abandoned those hesitations, because this voice was still so flat, so kind, and still could make people feel like a spring breeze. That's right, the only one who can give Ryan this feeling is Master Iber.

Red sat on the edge of the bed, took Master Iber's wrinkled, dry palm with both hands, and said softly, "Yes, teacher. Here I am, along with Ryan and Allendo. ”

"Hello, Master Ibel. Ryan and Allendo also greeted Master Eber separately, but when they saw Master Eber lying on the bed, everyone was very careful not to use the words that are commonly used in greetings and speeches, such as how are you doing.

"Hehe, count the time, you should be here too. There was no sadness or joy in Master Iber's tone, as if everything that happened to him did not exist: "Red, help me to sit up." ”

Red quickly stood up, then helped Eber to his feet and leaned against the head of the bed. Eber glanced at the chair next to the table and motioned for Ryan to sit down. Then he said, "Time flies so fast, I remember those adventures from decades ago." Speaking of which, Ryan, your teacher and I are still old friends, but now it's you and Red. Alas, as a priest, you have to endure loneliness, watching your comrades brandishing weapons and charging into battle or unleashing demons* to bombard indiscriminately, but you can only honestly stand at the back to bless the demons * and treat your injuries, and anyone is absolutely uncomfortable. ”

"Ah, it turns out that you are in this mood too, teacher, I thought it was only me. Red interjected.

"Hehe, of course, otherwise I would have thought of returning to the Basilica of San Nebiro and taking control of the Praise of the Light, with that powerful Great Prophecy. Dranay was right, I wasn't fit to be a priest, I should be a warrior. ”

"The god of light is above, it turns out that you and I have the same aspirations, teacher. Red burst out laughing: "I've always regretted that I shouldn't have followed you, the priest is really not suitable for me." Actually, I've always wanted to follow Orlando to practice knightly abilities, but unfortunately ......"

"You, I'm afraid you're trying to be more stylish, right?" Master Ibel said with a smile, "If you find another profession that can attract the attention of others more, you will definitely change jobs." ”

"Well, don't you say it so bluntly, do you?" Red scratched his head and said, "It's good to know in mind, my friends are listening." ”

Everyone laughed together, but Iber's laughter quickly turned into a cough, and Red hurriedly gave him a thump on the back to smooth out his breath. Iber shook his head and said, "People are old, and they can't even say a few more words." ”

"Well, you'll live at least a few hundred more years!" Red complimented.

Eber laughed and said, "You think I'm a lich? It is also remarkable that humans can live to be 100 years old, and the elves who live longer are only about 200 years old. I'm content to have lived so far, knowing that I've used God's prophecies a lot over the years. ”

When Ryan and the others saw that Ebel had brought up the topic, they immediately knew that the archbishop had something very important to say, so they stopped laughing and sat quietly.
