Chapter XXIII: The Oracle
José's mouth opened wide in surprise when he heard Sabof's words, and he pointed to his nose and asked, "You, how do you know my name?" and, you seem to know...... I'm from another world?"
As if thinking of something, Joseph's heart moved, and his voice trembled a little with excitement: "Then, can you send me back? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Sabov shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I can't do that, unless it's a god, no one can cut through time and space, and travel between different planes at will." ”
When Joseph heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then asked with some doubts: "Then why did you get me here? Also, what does that so-called oracle have to do with me?"
Sabov restrained the smile on his face, and then said with a straight face: "The oracle is the last will of the creator god to stay in this world, long before Ragnarok, the great gods have predicted the fate of the continent, the war of the gods, the war of gods and demons, these are just in the prophecy of the gods." ”
Joseph was slightly surprised, but then he pouted: "This creator god is really strange, since he foresaw this, why did he ......"
Sabov glared at Joseph unceremoniously, and said with a somewhat gloomy face: "How can you mortals speculate on the will of the gods? ”
Sabov paused, and then said, "Although the gods did not interfere in the future of the continent, the gods were free to make their own arrangements. At that time, he had selected a group of the most devout believers among the Protoss, and almost all of these people had powerful divine powers, even in the powerful Protoss. Then, the gods descended on the earth, and he gave these gods a great mission. ”
José remembered what Sabov had just said to himself, such as "I have been waiting for thousands of years", and suddenly felt a little absurd in his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "Mission? Your mission...... You can't just wait for me, right?"
Sabof's face did not change in the slightest, he said as if he was talking to himself: "After the gods leave, the gods will usher in the twilight, the end of the war will end on the side of light and darkness, the only divine light will cover the world for thousands of years, the awakened people from other worlds will carry the tokens of the gods, and get the guidance of the gods, the darkness and glory of the continent will be revived again, and the moment the continent is complete, the gods will also reappear in the world......"
Sabof's tone was filled with reverent reverence and humility, and his old and hoarse voice, as if it were a distant and ancient prophecy from a mythological age, did make people feel a sense of mystery and awe.
Sabov stared at Jose with deep eyes, and his heart, which had been silent for thousands of years, finally throbbed a little, "You, the person I am waiting for, the awakened one from another world mentioned in the prophecy of the gods,"
When Joseph heard the pious appearance of the old monster Sabof, he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, and he cautiously defended: "Even if you know my name, how can you be sure that I am the Awakened One you call it? I don't have any divine tokens!"
"Oh, is it?" Sabov slowly stretched out his thin fingers and pointed at Joseph's right hand, with a bit of mockery in his eyes: "And what is this?"
"This piece of iron?" Joseph subconsciously looked down and saw that only the mysterious "piece of iron" was in his hand, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"No, no, my child, this is not some useless piece of iron. With a wave of Sabof's fingers, José felt as if a force had wrenched the piece of iron out of his right hand, and he watched in amazement as it circled around his head before falling steadily into Sabof's hand.
This projection, a guy composed of light, can actually hold this piece of iron?!
However, something happened that surprised José even more: this Sabof actually took a step forward at this moment and walked straight out of the projection!
It's really an entity!
But a man walked out of the projection of light, such a scene, José has only seen in science fiction films.
Regardless of José's surprise, Sabov slowly stroked the iron piece with his fingers at this moment, and a little cold touch came from his fingertips, Sabov seemed to be very moved, and said with some emotion: "This is the medal of the gods......! The great gods are above, and I, Sabov, have seen the relics of the gods again in my lifetime. ”
"You know, boy," Sabov glared at Joseph and said with some seriousness, "this is not an ordinary 'piece of iron', this is a token left by the gods, a god badge that proves the glory and glory of the gods, in our time, this is a god that is enshrined in the Temple of Creation and worshiped by thousands of believers!"
"God's Emblem?!" Jose nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder even a high-level demonic beast like the Demon Scorpion King is so afraid of it, it turns out to be like this......"
"Warcraft?" Sabof's tone was disdainful, and even a little insulted: "Don't talk about that kind of lowly creature, even if the demon god comes, you have to maintain the highest respect for the creation god!"
"But, I picked it up on the icebreaker, right...... Is that lightning!?"
Joseph was excited, and suddenly seemed to think of something, but before he could speak, Sabov said in a deep voice: "The gods have their own intentions, and you appear here with the tokens of the gods, all of this is arranged by the gods, whether you believe it or not!"
Jose was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at the old man with some confusion.
"And, little one," Sabof squinted at Jose, with a hint of playfulness, "do you know what is inscribed on this badge?"
"What is it?" Jose looked at the old fellow vigilantly, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Divine Language-" The joke on Sabof's face was swept away, and he said slowly in a somewhat reverent tone anyway, "It is inscribed with the Divine Word: St. Ceylon Joseph!"
"'Joseph'? but... What does this matter to me?" José furrowed an eyebrow, "I am not Joseph in that badge...... though the badge has Joseph's name in it."
"You are not now, because you are not yet at the time when you become Joseph, but in time you will understand some of the reasons. Sabof's eyes wandered a little, as if he was immersed in his own words, and muttered to himself.
"But how do I feel like you're talking serious nonsense?" Joseph couldn't help muttering, but then frowned again: "But you said that since this badge is a Protoss, but my companion said that this thing has no magical attributes, and is completely an ordinary piece of iron, okay?"
"Stupid guy!"
Sabov pointed at Joseph's nose and said with unceremonious contempt: "How can a divine object be speculated by those lowly people in the world! Yes, the God's Emblem does not have any magical attributes, because it is not a thing of this world in itself...... It has only one property...... Divine power!"
Sabov said this, and sighed faintly: "In the age of mythology, this thing still has a name, called the Divine Domain!"
"In the beginning, the emblem of the gods has been sacrificed in the Temple of Creation, and the gods had predicted that the awakened ones from other worlds would appear with it, so after it was mysteriously lost in the battle of the gods, the gods did not deliberately look for it, and today it seems that the oracle of the gods has indeed been fulfilled,"
"Getting back to business," Sabof shook his head: "All this is the prophecy of the gods, and I said that I am a god, and my mission is to complete the oracle of the creation god," Sabof said with a somewhat solemn expression and a solemn tone: "Mortals don't need to understand the will of the gods, even you, all you have to do is obey." ”
He paused, and then said: "We, the chosen gods, have followed God's will since the creation god left this world, hiding here—here, the space originally created by the creation god, it is difficult for anyone, including other gods, to find it except for the gods, and it is here that we receive God's will and pass on the oracle from generation to generation.
I see, José thought to himself, no wonder there are so many murals on the cave walls here, and who would have thought that there is a hidden space in this cave?
"However, although we are gods, we are not gods after all, and we will be born, old, sick and die," Sabov smiled bitterly, "until we find ourselves slowly aging, but it has only been more than a thousand years, if this continues, we will not be able to wait to complete the task of the gods, which we will never allow." ”
More than a thousand years?, Joseph stuck out his tongue and asked with some puzzlement, "Then you didn't try to intermarry with other races to ensure the continuation of the race?"
"We tried it at first, but the Protoss bloodline retained by the offspring of intermarriage will be slowly diluted, and the mission of the Protoss requires us to maintain pure Protoss blood, so this method has also failed. ”
Sabov shook his head and said with a somewhat ugly face: "So, in desperation, we have to use a method to ensure the completion of the oracle." This method is to seal me into this special idol with all the divine power of a god, and then leave the stone statue in the temple of creation where I met the awakened in the prophecy until one day the awakened appear. ”
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Sabof's eyes, "According to the instructions of the gods, we have mastered the time of the appearance of the awakened in the prophecy, so the date of the seal has also been accurately calculated, and I will only wake up from the seal when you appear, and the loss of divine power in the thousands of years of the seal can also be minimized." ”
"But in fact, due to the difference between our year and the human year, the time when the seal was lifted is still slightly advanced, and the more than 1,000 years I said before are also according to the calculation standards of your human beings, in short, I have lifted the seal more than ten years ago, and from the moment you and your companions entered this cave, I knew that the prophecy of the gods began to come true. ”
Joseph looked at this devout believer helplessly, and couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he still tentatively asked, "So, what am I going to do? Moreover, I want to know what the so-called oracle means by 'guidance of the gods'?"
When Sabov heard this, his face was a little serious, "What I want to do is to hand over to you what the gods have left behind, and the rest of the prophecy will naturally be fulfilled by yourself, but I believe that you will follow the gods' prophecies, because no one can deviate from the will of the gods......"
Jose's heart raced, and what the gods had left behind...... Give me?
But then he rolled his eyes, and instead of being carried away by Sabof's words, he pouted and said, "Even if you dare not speculate about the prophecy of the gods, what is your purpose in doing this? ”
"Your appearance means that the prophecy of the gods has begun, and at the end of the oracle, the gods will return to this world, this is the mission of our gods from generation to generation, what we have to do is to guide you to live in this world, everything is under the oracle of the great gods. ”
Sabov raised his head, as if looking up at something in this enchantment, and then his eyes fell on Joseph's body, and he muttered to himself: "God above, I finally understand your words today, since your will is to keep me here, then Catherina's descendants will complete the remaining oracles, may my god clan be glorified endlessly......"
After listening to these words patiently, looking at the old man's submissive appearance, he already believed a little in his heart, and his current situation seemed to be unable to refuse, let alone resist.
Somehow, Joseph felt a little pity for him, and for the sake of the gods he believed in, he stayed in this dark space for thousands of years, until his own people left or died, and he became the last defender.
Joseph looked at this poor and respectable old man with some emotion in his heart, speaking of which, the most similar to himself in this world was this lonely and eccentric old man.
Just when Joseph was thinking with some admiration, Sabov was already looking at him with a straight face, and when Joseph saw this, he couldn't help but open his mouth with strong anticipation:
"Well, may I ask Mr. Sabof, what did the gods leave me? Is it a powerful artifact, a peerless divine art, or an incomparably powerful divine beast...... Oh wait, he's not going to give me a divine dragon, is he......"
At this time, Sabov shook his head strangely, ignored Joseph's question, and just said lightly:
"You, take off your clothes......"
