The dirty old man was dragged by the Turks into the woods outside the city wall, and he didn't know what they were going to do.

"What are you going to do! I know you, you're Prince Turks!" the strange old man was flustered, but his expression was very calm: "The world is about to end, why are you still bullying me, an old man!"

Turks had been very angry since Lao Tzu said the words "the world is gone", but he didn't expect the old man to repeat it now. Jack didn't know what Tex would do later, and was ready to hold him down.

Unbeknownst to him, Turks' face suddenly changed, his eyes swept around, and he whispered in the old man's ear: "I'm really sorry, I had to pull you out of the city." ”

Jack was stunned, thinking that he would impulsively go up and punch this bad old man who "spread rumors", but who knew that suddenly the rain would be clear.

The old man was probably also stunned, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Turks continued: "I'm sorry, not intentionally offended. It's just because there are a lot of people just now, and what you say is not very right for the occasion." Jack didn't understand why his tone had become completely soft.

"I'm not interested in your stunt, I just want to ask, why do you say that the world is going to end?" Tex asked the old man, bowing his head.

The old man seemed to have relented, and stammered in reply, "I...... I do not know...... It's just that recently...... There are more and more sea beasts......"

After listening to this, Jack felt very puzzled: obviously he didn't meet a sea beast along the way, and he didn't meet it when he crossed the sea on the back of the broken turtle Thor. Except for the soul chasing beast of the Water Spirit Country, there really wasn't an aggressive sea beast encountered. Why would this old man say that?

After listening to the old man's words, Tex fell into deep thought, and then asked, "When did you see it?"

The old man replied, "A month ago." ”

A month ago, Jack and Tex were almost locked up in the prison of the Holy Ape Country, and they didn't know what was going on outside.

"Did the sea beast you see not come ashore?" asked Tex.

"Well, all the way back and forth along the coastline," said the old man.

Turks fell into deep thought again.

Jack couldn't help but ask Tex, "What do you mean? Isn't the sea beast attacking?"

Although Jack has not spoken, he has been thinking about the problem. Speaking of Gabo's ten-year covenant, it happened to be the same year as Lina's once-in-a-decade invasion, and he never understood why it was so coincidental.

The contemplative Turks slowly spat out a sentence from his mouth: "Those sea beasts are here to investigate. ”

Jack was almost stunned by this sentence: "Scouting!?

"No, it's just that someone controls their minds, this person, needless to say, you know who. ”

"Orc leader Lina. ”

All three fell silent.

"Turks, what is the ten-year covenant?" asked Jack. Turks replied: "Three months to go." ”

Three months, that is, three months to go, humanity, which has no power to resist in the face of the orcs, will finally be destroyed, and human history will be completely erased from this planet.

Tex's face was ugly, and Jack could see through his face despair and frustration. As a friend, I must not let him have any negative thoughts, even if the knife has been put on his neck, he must make the last resistance!

"Tex! there will be a way to stop this atrocity!" Jack grabbed Tex by the shoulder, and although his words were very uplifting, the fact in front of him was that no one could stand up and resist the impending carnage.

Feeling powerless, Jack was still full of hope, but he didn't know how to instill that hope in Tex, and just watched him quietly.

"Are you interested in my stunt?" said the strange old man, and just as Jack was about to stop him from saying such a thing in this situation, the old man straightened his tattered collar and sonorously dropped this sentence:

"My skill is to be able to give you spiritual power. ”

The old man's words were like pebbles thrown down a bottomless cliff, and he himself was a little excited, and seeing that Jack and Tex were unmoved, he continued: "I don't believe I can show it to you!"

The old man was wrong, who could be deceived by such crazy words? The existence of the legendary spirit of Tana has not been confirmed before the resurrection spirit has not yet reappeared, not to mention the bottomless boasting that he can make people have spiritual powers? Whoever hears it will think it is ridiculous.

Seeing that the two had not reacted, the old man just wanted to say a few more words, but Turks interrupted him: "The world is about to be destroyed, and you want your bluffing stunt to be useful." As if struck, the old man retorted, "I—I can show you now!"

Jack, who was standing on the side, also spoke: "Okay, okay, if you have no source of livelihood and want to eat, then, standing in front of you is the prince of Misso, you can tell him." But there's really no need to say any more stunts. ”

The old man was hit by the robbery words continuously, and his mood was a little heavy: "The world is about to die, but my stunt is really ......"

"Okay, we got it. Tex stopped the old man again and continued, "Where you live, I will come to you if we need it." When Turks finished speaking, he turned to Jack and said, "Let's go." He didn't want to pay attention to this old man at all, because in his heart, there were only two words "dead country".

But the old man took it seriously, thinking that they were still willing to be his apprentices, and hurriedly said, "I live in a small wooden house in the bamboo forest to the south! My name is Doug, Prince Turks!"

"Eun, okay Doug. Jack, let's go. When he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

However, the old man reached out and grabbed him.

Perhaps seeing that Turks didn't want to understand and was perfunctory, he said, "Turks!

Tex was stunned by this shout, he didn't expect the old man to force him to stay, and said to the old man a little impatiently: "Doug! I have already told you, I will go to you, but I have to go back now!"

The old man straightened his gray hair, and although his face was wrinkled because of his age, his eyes were deep and attentive. After listening to Tex's weak explanation, Doug said slowly: "I don't believe I can, I just hope someone can stand up and save the world." ”

Jack and Turks seemed to be startled by this bold remark, and they both swallowed their saliva. And then Turks still said in disbelief: "Salvation? You are the one who perishes, you are the one who says there is hope, are you God, you can save the world, and if you can, then why don't you go?"

"Because of these spiritual powers, at my age, I can't control them. Doug replied calmly.

Tex still didn't believe it, and laughed: "The Missus country is almost gone, everyone is almost gone, even if you have spiritual power, you can pass it on to one person, then can this world be saved by just one person?" Or I advise you old man, you still have three months of good life to live on this continent, hurry up and cherish it!"

In Jack's judgment, Tex was definitely not such an impolite and disrespectful person in the past, which shows that the belief in the destruction of the world in his heart cannot be changed.

The three of them fell into a brief silence again, and after a long time, Old Man Doug said, "Well, I'll tell you something, and you'll understand."

Tex felt that after listening to so much nonsense anyway, it didn't matter if he had one more time, so he let Doug speak.

Doug looked at Tex with wandering eyes, and threw out a sentence loudly: "The revival spirit stone is not in the Holy Ape Country. ”

Tex, who had already been wandering the sky in his spirit, felt like a bolt from the blue when he heard this: "How do you know!" At the same time, he also began to face the old man.

Tex actually knew that Lingshi was not in the Holy Ape Country for a long time, but he couldn't understand why his father would lie to him and let him go to the Holy Ape Country for a year in vain. Jack, who had been listening to the sidelines, was also stunned when he heard Doug's words: Lingshi is not in the Holy Ape Country, so why is everything? The questions in his heart are obviously much more than Tex's, especially one more: Why didn't Texes tell him this truth.

Seeing Tex's excited expression at this time, Doug knew that he was finally starting to look at himself, but he raised his head, smiled, and did not speak.

"Tell me, Doug, no one but me and my father know about this, and how do you know!?" Turks was visibly hung by Doug.

But Doug on the side was still selling Guanzi and taking the opportunity to promote his products: "Do you want to know? Yes, be my apprentice and learn my spiritual power." ”

Tex had been talking to Jack about how much his father was able to control the overall situation, how much he thought about the Missile, and how great he was, but this concealment made Tex panic.

"Okay, I promise you!" said Tex.

Doug laughed and said to himself, "I knew this trick would work, why did I waste so much time!"

Jack on the side had been pondering.

From the moment he decided to stay and learn about the continent, he had decided to reveal all the secrets of Tana, and to be as familiar with everything here as he was with Garland.

But now, Turks, who was standing in front of him, had become a mystery again, and the biggest, the one he didn't dare to think was fake. He thought he was dreaming, just to wake up as soon as possible and go back to the place where he slept, Garland.

"Turks, actually, there are many things that you have been kept in the dark by your father, you are still a toddler in the eyes of this world, and you have more opportunities to grow up!" Doug instantly changed from that sloppy dirty old man to a wise elder, teaching Tex, the "baby" who may not know anything.

As if he had fallen into an evil spirit, he thought about his father's concealment and the imminent end of the world, and listened to Doug's words with his head down.

"So be it, Turks, and your friend, and look for me in the bamboo grove to the south in the morning two days later. Don't be too late, chances are I'll be on the road. I'll tell you everything you want to know. When Doug had finished speaking, he turned and headed off on the southern path.

Tex is like a family member of a patient who is in a hurry to go to the doctor, these things have been haunting his mind, and he is worried that no one will tell him the right answer, and at this moment, even if an ant appears and tells him that he wants to listen, Tex will probably immediately kneel down in front of the ant. Perhaps, this is the origin of the stubbornness and weakness of the son of the king.

Jack and Tex looked at Doug's rickety back as he faded away, and returned to the city together without saying a word.
