Chapter 164: Ancient Prophecy
Anthony really never imagined that the centaurs, who looked rough and backward on the outside, would create such a magnificent civilization.
After walking with Ron into the high stone wall. That's really a knife pulling the ass - it opened the eyes.
Who would have believed that in this forest, there is such a city, although its area is not large, it belongs to the end of the view, but its architecture is magnificent.
The entire city was designed almost strictly according to mathematical geometry. Each building corresponds to a planet in the sky, and the most striking of these is a temple in the center of the city, with red, blue, and white as the basic tones.
Extraordinary double-portico large shrine with a height of over sixty-five feet. Stylistically, it clearly belongs to the classical Greek period, and is composed of columns, reliefs, triangular friezes and other decorations to form a stunning magnificence.
Stepping on the neat floor road, Anthony and Ron were treated by Ferenze in front of the temple in the city.
Outside the temple, a burst of smoke from the burning of herbs spread around. The effect is probably similar to sandalwood or something.
Anthony didn't care, but the centaur in the smoke caught his attention. Because the costume on his body is very different from the centaurs around him.
Most of the others are leather armor or the like, or they don't wear clothes at all, and they know that they are martial artists at a glance. He was dressed in gray linen, with a strange jewel around his neck, and he looked old, with gray hair, and even the mane on his horseback was white.
Ferenze stepped forward and whispered a few words in the old centaur's ear. With that, the centaur looked up and looked at Anthony and Ron with cloudy eyes.
Eventually, his gaze stopped on Anthony, who was holding Shylock. An ethereal voice rang out: "The White Beast has led you here, King! A fateful encounter, you're back. ”
"Huh?" Anthony looked around, and after making sure that he was talking to himself, he immediately asked rhetorically, "What came back?" What did you prophesy? "Eight Chinese Network
"It's not my prophecy, it's a whisper of fate from a thousand years ago that belongs to the centaur tribe."
"A thousand years ago?" Anthony was slightly stunned, and then continued: "Can you elaborate?" ”
"Please follow me." As he spoke, the old centaur lowered his head and walked slowly towards the temple.
Anthony immediately followed. Ron, on the other hand, hesitated, the unknown city made him a little afraid.
But it was only for a moment, and he stubbornly followed. The tall temple resembles the Parthenon in Greece.
Or rather, the same style. The rectangular temple, with its ante, main and apse, Antony estimated the entire area to be at least a quarter the size of a football field.
More than a dozen tall marble columns prop up the temple. The old horseman led the two young wizards through the front hall and stopped in front of the main hall with reliefs.
"It's a spiritual paradise for centaurs." Walking into the main hall, the old horse man pointed around and said, a touch of excitement in the ethereal voice.
And Anthony looked the palace up and down. He had a giant astrological map of the galaxy carved above his head, and his feet stepped on a map of the world as the centaurs understood it.
The surrounding walls are densely carved with various texts and murals.
"Those are old prophecies, and the horses have tried to keep each one of them." Ferenze said solemnly to the two little wizards.
For the centaurs, the temple is not only a symbol of spirit and will, but also a history of their community.
"It's great." Anthony couldn't help but admire.
"Humanity is just as great." The old horse man said lightly, and there was no change in emotion in his tone.
"Please wait a moment." With that, the old horse man walked towards one side of the wall of the hall. It was fetched and placed in the corner of the wall with a torch.
With the faint light of fire in his hand, he carefully stroked each stone, as if looking for something.
And it took more than half an hour to find it. Just as Anthony was impatient, he finally found the stone he was looking for.
Then the centaur tapped lightly on the stone, and suddenly the stone bounced open into a stone box.
"Oh! It still looks very good. The old horse man broke the silence with a low voice, and he took something out of the stone box and walked towards Anthony.
"A thousand years ago, a friend asked the tribe of the horses to keep it, and now it has finally been returned to its original owner."
"What is this?" Anthony takes a broken mutilated sword from the centaurs. I was puzzled in my heart.
Is this called intact? And also! Who would keep this broken thing for a thousand years? Unfortunately, the old horse man didn't explain it to him.
After handing over the broken sword to him, he left the main hall slowly. Forehead... That's why Anthony doesn't want to stay with these godheads, will he die if he says more?
Will it die? It's a hell of a person! The Riddler is happy to add one! Having studied with Lady Atropos for a long time, he thought that he had become accustomed to these prophets: I know, but I will not say, the bad character that satisfies his inner pleasure.
But now Anthony has just found out that he is used to being a fart. This kind of person should be shouted and beaten by everyone, and the Riddler get out of England!
Naturally, Ferencze is a centaur like no other, and he seems to be interested in Hogwarts and the outside world.
After the old pony left, he left the temple with Anthony and Ron and went to a stone house in the city.
That's his home. At his home, Ferenze not only kindly prepared dinner for Anthony and Ron, but also answered his doubts.
"Oh! Do you want to know, what Elder Charon meant by what he said? Ferencze chuckled and said, "This is an ancient prophecy of our centaur tribe, you should know that centaurs are very good at divination, and for more than a thousand years, countless prophecies have been passed down in the tribe. ”
"I happen to have heard this prophecy." As he spoke, Ferenze paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, before he spoke: "Through the swamps, woods, and misty islands, and defeat the nine supreme beings who guard it, so that the dusk rises over the horizon, the morning sun descends on the mountains, the glow descends, the white beast first appears, and on the rose-filled plains, when Albion is at its most critical, the legendary king will rise again!" "The King of Legends?
Anthony was slightly stunned, in the UK, this noun only represents one person. That's King Arthur! As for the other fragments of the prophecy.
Swamps, woods, and mist-shrouded islands – a reference to Avalon, the healing place of King Arthur.
The Nine Supremes – Referring to the legendary Nine Fairies, the guardians of King Arthur? Why defeat them?
