Chapter 58: The Fall of the Empire
"What is a magnetite?" Meka hadn't heard of this.
"It is said that it is a magnetic crystal ore brought back from another dimension of time and space by the ancestor of the sea god Poseidon. It can absorb cosmic energy and solar energy with high efficiency, and geomagnetic energy to produce an endless source of energy. Enough to supply the energy needs of the entire country. ”
"And then?"
"Generations of emperors have become accustomed to a comfortable life, which has made the world corrupt and decadent. The younger brother of the current king, in search of new incentives and benefits, carried the king overseas in the Strait of Gibraltar. You know all about the intention to invade Athens, right? ”
"Yes, teacher, what now?"
"I don't have a crystal ball, but I can tell the divination, and I'm going to die here. And you can get out alive, albeit with a serious injury. Haven't you ever told yourself how you came here and how you left? Gallor asked rhetorically.
"I'm only looking at the disaster part of the big country, and I haven't paid attention to the rest of the divination." Mecca paused: "That scene is terrible, there is gunsmoke and heart-rending shouts everywhere, you say how can I think of anything else?" ”
"Hmm......" Gallor let out a long sigh, "...... tonight"
"What's tonight? It won't be that soon, it doesn't seem like it's that early for me to divinate the disaster. Meka looked nervous and uneasy.
"It's about getting a good night's sleep tonight, you're tired." Gallol's sigh was full of sadness: "Child, there is still time, you have to relax and sleep." Raise your spirits to have the strength to escape, and I'll wake you up when the time comes. ”
"How can I sleep?" Meka said, "Disaster is coming, can I still sleep?" ”
"Trust me, you still have a long way to go, I foresaw it. Be brave and strong. Gallor leaned forward: "Meka, look into my eyes near the window." ”
Merka didn't know what to mean, she looked at Gallol in the opposite window and door. His eyes were as deep and mysterious as the universe. I inadvertently felt a strange looming light flickering, is this an illusion? It made Meka suddenly very sleepy and fell asleep......
After some time, Meka was woken up by a scream. It was Galore who was calling her:
"Meka, are you awake? Listen to me," a voice came from the window opposite: "This house will shake the walls in one tremor, and we will run through the cracks in the wall before the next one is struck, only a few seconds." If you miss it, the building will collapse. ”
"Okay, remember. That...... When will that be? ”
"You can listen to it and feel the sounds coming from the next moment in the consciousness of the universe around you. Divination can sometimes be frightening and painful, but you are often unable to do anything about it, and it will be as difficult for us to change what people don't want to believe in the future as things that have already passed. ”
Meka began to listen with a sincere heart, and she knew that would be frustrating. She heard the cries of the world again, heard the struggle of the earth, the mountains and the earth cracked, the sea churned, and she could feel the thunder and lightning in the sky and the wrath of the gods, and she could come closer, closer, closer......
"Boom Buzz Buzz ......" Loud sounds and vibrations followed, and the shock wave brought a terrifying roar. The walls shattered, and everyone present fell to the ground, their minds blank and their ears buzzing.
"Meka! Did you hear that? Now is the time! Gallol shouted at the stunned girl.
Meka turned, and there was a crack in the wall over there. So she hurried over, where Gallol was already waiting for her. The sand and gravel on the roof of the house fell one after another, and the room was filled with dust, and the vision was not clear, and people choked and coughed. Luckily, Gallol woke up and pointed out the direction of Meka, who had just gotten out of the wall. With a bang, the room collapsed, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Gallor continued to pull Meka towards the collapsed crack in the hospital wall. I don't know if it was dark, or if the dark clouds in the sky were very low, making the light very dark, accompanied by flying sand and rocks. At the moment of a flash of lightning, Meka saw that the old man who was pulling her away was a hunchbacked man, and she couldn't see anything other than that. The wind and sand were too strong and it was too dark.
As soon as he reached the crack in the courtyard wall, Gallol stopped and pushed Meka through the crack first. Meka turned around to pull the old man out, but a terrifying shock of "boom ......" struck again, and a wall fell down and pressed the lower half of the old man's body.
Meka was terrified. As she tried to lift the wall, she cried, "Someone! Help! "But no matter how hard you carry the wall, no matter how hard you try, it won't help. My heart was filled with anxiety and pain, tears blurred my vision, and raindrops fell like crazy, as if to wash the world thoroughly......
"Don't waste your efforts, listen to me, child. Even if you pull me out, I won't be able to run, it's my fate. The old man's voice was very weak.
"No, I must rescue you, teacher, you have to hold on!" Meka wiped the dust from her face with tears in her eyes, and she looked around to try to call for help, but there was thick smoke around her, the light was very low, and the visibility was so low that she couldn't see anyone. She desperately shouted: "Someone, help!" ”
"Don't scream, listen to me, I want you to fulfill my last wish. Ahem, ahem! The old man coughed up blood foam.
"If there's anything you want me to do, I'll do my best, but you have to hold on."
"Don't waste time, no one can change fate." Gallor said weakly.
"The duty of a soothsayer should be to encourage everyone to take control of their own destiny, rather than to let everyone go with the flow and let it go. Let people overcome themselves and overcome difficulties is the purpose of divination. ”
"I read you right, listen to the child, I carry a burden on my back, and inside is a holy crown. It is the sacred crown of function to decipher the secrets of evolution. It may be the only Holy Crown left in this world, and you take it with you. This is my last contribution to the world. It turned out that the old man was not hunchbacked, but there was a holy crown hidden there: "I know you can't wear the holy crown a second time, so you have to find an apprentice yourself and train him well......"
As soon as the burden on the old man's back was relieved, the "boom ......" earthquake was staged again. Swallowing Gallol down like a big mouth on the ground, everything came so fast. During the desperate climb, Meka gets out of the smoke, and there is nothing she can do to save the teacher. Human life is so fragile and vulnerable in the face of nature's wrath. Running through the rubble along the way, the gods took away all the space and time to grieve for the departed. Only the survivors who survived were left to rush to the docks on the canal.
