Chapter 51: Ancient Prophecy
"At the beginning of the founding of the merfolk wisdom clan, a wise man left a shocking prophecy: the content is that the destruction of the merfolk will be triggered by a ferocious bug. At that time, the lives will be devastated, and the disaster will be very serious. ”
"What? How so? The captain was surprised.
"But there will be a savior from the land who will turn the tide. When the Savior appears, he can summon a thunderbolt from the sky to kill insects. ”
Thousand Thorns' eyes looked up and quietly looked at the height: "It's a pity that the content of the prophecy is too superficial, and none of our descendants can figure out what kind of worm it is, and who will the savior be?" How to go about finding it? From generation to generation, the patriarchs passed down the legacy of the search for this savior. One day, a large wooden ship called the 'Ark of Hope' floated on land. The lack of food and water on the ship was very difficult, but the captain still could not lead the crew to sail out of the fog and find a new continent.
A little girl on the ship appeared on deck, she was sick and dying. So she wanted to use her last bit of strength to sing a song for everyone.
She sang it, and it was very beautiful. Perhaps it was the singing that activated some kind of natural energy, and the fog cleared. Seeing the sun that had not been seen for a long time, the big ship had rekindled hope because it had identified the direction and searched for land. While the crew was rejoicing, the little girl died. People saddened to give her a sea burial.
At that time, the little girl's singing dispelled the despair that filled the sky, and the three elders of the imperial city noticed and paid attention. Because the little girl's voice can change the weather, she must be the legendary savior.
Later, the three elders used the technology of the mermaid world to extract the memories and soul of the dead girl and seal them away. After careful search and argumentation, Dubin's daughter was found. Using her body genes as a copy sample, she cultivated the body of another Dubin daughter. Using this body as a new vehicle for the memories and souls of the previously dead girl, we call it the Step-Soul Body.
Dubin's daughter was chosen because she had both strengths and weaknesses. The advantage is that this body has a relatively tenacious vitality, and at the same time it is very calm, almost unfazed. The defect is that the original memory is not complete, and the soul consciousness is relatively tolerant. In this way, it will not be too repulsive to foreign memories and soul consciousness, and if all memories are awakened in the future, Kiki will be able to deal with them calmly.
Do you know? The three elders had previously cultivated several Step-Soul Bodies as early experiments, but all of them ended in failure. The artificially created mermaids immediately experienced mental and physical rejection after telling them about their previous lives. Either he went crazy or killed himself. Life is like that sometimes, it crumbles and collapses on its own, and God can't redeem it. ”
Speaking of this, the Thousand Thorns Patriarch became very excited. It seems that the previous failed experiment, the life and hope that have fallen are repeating themselves in front of my eyes, and my mind is full of guilt and helplessness. It is also filled with images of pain and self-blame from the other three patriarchs.
"So Captain Akan, you have to remember this secret about Kiki. You have to tell her when the time is right, or the consequences will be crazy, very, very crazy......"
Captain Akon broke out in a cold sweat, which was indeed too surprising. The late three elders of the Three Dynasties turned out to be so wise and great. If the prophecy is true, it is likely that Kiki is indeed the savior of the merfolk race. And if something happens to her, no one will be able to create the next savior.
After a few minutes of silence, Captain Akon asked, "So, what is the reason why Akentero didn't kill Kiki, and what does he want from Kiki?" ”
"Treasure." Thousand Thorns turned his back as he spoke, not wanting Captain Akon to see his eyes.
"Yes, treasure, the foundation of the Taiping Imperial City, the way to survive. You must remember how you passed through the labyrinth enchantment of the Taiping Imperial City, right? ”
"Yes." The captain remembered: "At that time, it was Kiki who led everyone out of the labyrinth enchantment. ”
"One of the three elders, the Eel, put the memory of the labyrinth's route in Kiki's mind, so Kiki will recognize the way. Arcantero knew, and Kiki was expected to know the secret of the treasure. So I won't kill Kiki right away, but I'm waiting for the time to come. ”
"Now I understand, Master Thousand Thorns, your contribution to the Imperial City is really immeasurable!"
"When I was young, the then King of the Taiping Imperial City was kind to me. I pledge my allegiance to the Pacific Sea nations forever and never turn my back. After witnessing many things where politics could not solve the problem, and trying to reduce the number of wars and killings as much as possible, I made up my mind to retreat underground and solve the problem in my own way. The methods are not all bright, but they can make the order out there better and more people will survive. Moreover, I will bear the blame. Only the three patriarchs know this, and none of the current empresses know about my existence. ”
"I understand, as you said, sometimes the result is more important than the process." Captain Akon said.
Kiki is taken out of the room by Rakshasa and walks down a not-so-bright hallway. With a white garnet lamp in his hand, he illuminates the road under his feet. I vaguely saw some beautiful murals on the walls, and the owner of the castle must have been fascinated by the art. Kiki, who has been slowly following behind, has a trace of confusion in her heart: I picked up a father Dubin before, and now I have picked up a sister Rakshasa, where am I from? Who else have I ever lost?
"Don't worry, sister." Rakshasa didn't look back and said, "When Captain Akang was unconscious, his godfather fed him an antidote, and he will be fine tomorrow." ”
"Sister, am I really your sister?" Kiki didn't quite understand.
"Silly sister!" Rakshasa smiled and said, "I'm your sister!" Don't we look alike? ”
I don't know when I came to a door, and the rakshasa squeaked and pushed open the large wooden door. Inside is a cleanly cleaned room with two beds on the left and right in the front. In the middle was a square table and two chairs, on which the rakshasas placed the lamps. illuminated a slightly worn book on the table.
"I'll sleep here." Rakshasa looked sleepy and fell asleep as soon as he fell into bed. Kiki closed the door and walked to the table and sat down. The old book under the white garnet lamp piqued her interest.
When she was in her hometown, reading books was her biggest hobby. The symbols drawn by the book form the basic elements of the world of text and information. The ink-stained pages of the book, after a hundred years and thousands of years, can still exude the fragrance of wisdom. Everything in the world reflects its form, and its righteousness is hidden in the vastness. The magical and ancient words, coming from ancient times, carry the memories of the glorious years and shine with the brilliance of the wisdom of the sages. They are like dancing elves, gently tapping the reader's thirsty heart and warming the soul of the advance in the cold night.
The cover of the book is printed with "The Tale of Camela", and below is a gilded picture of a mermaid, behind the beautiful figure of the mermaid is a magnificent country towering over the vast sea.
The name of the book has been marked, but the author's signature is missing. It is estimated that the author is unknown, and the content is important.
Qiqi, who was no longer sleepy, unfolded this mysterious book, a huge country that looked like the Taiping Imperial City, but was dozens of times larger than the Taiping Imperial City, slowly unfolded in the book.
