Chapter 64: The Prophet and the Druid
The sun is shining, the weather is clear, there is no smoke and dirty air, the old trees are around, the unknown flowers and plants dot under the fence of the cabin, exuding a faint fragrance, there is a clean stream not far away, fat fish playing in the water, everything is so quiet.
It is located in the western part of the Empire, near Fort Kenne, a dense forest with few people. Naturally, not many people know that there is still an old man who once followed the Emperor Aragorn, a famous wizard and sage before the Imperial Era, an old antique that is almost abandoned by the times.
Prophet - Malcius, the sorcerer of the human Shijiezuihou, one of the inheritors of the last remaining mysterious Liliang.
I don't know what happened, but the old man, dressed in a somewhat shabby gray robe, looked very happy, and carefully decorated his little cabin, lit the fireplace, hung up clean new curtains, wiped down the tables, chairs, and floors, set up fruit and wine jugs on the small dining table, and hung a small black boiler on the stone fireplace, and the tempting smell of thick soup overflowed from it, enough to make all the passers-by feel that their still rumbling stomachs were protesting to themselves.
As for the pile of colorful bottles and jars and the strange potions inside, Maltheus stuffed them all into the wooden shelves on the wall, and then hung a dark curtain that was all out of sight—Malcius thought.
Everything was ready, and the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in his chair. Closing his eyes, he crossed his legs leisurely and waited for the arrival of the guest—who else could have a chance to find the Prophet's cabin but His Excellency?
It didn't take long for the old man to leave the chair with a smile as if he had calculated the time, and gently opened the somewhat old wooden door, and the door shaft in disrepair made an excellent and piercing "squeak~" sound, and Malthews stood at the door and stroked his chest very elegantly: "On this fine morning, welcome to Malcius's cabin, the Grand Druid of the Silent Forest, Lord Elena!"
"Looks like you've figured out I'll be here, you old slippery head. In a seductive sweet tone, Elena, dressed in a ranger's outfit, walked from the forest path rather dissatisfied, and said, "What a 'prophet' worthy of the name, Malcius." ”
"Perhaps you should call me 'Your Excellency'...... Oh, forget it. The old man smiled bitterly a few times, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "It's quite haode, it's closer." ”
"Let's come in first, change out of your coat and relax, it's not easy to walk that far. Maltheus stepped aside and invited the other in: "It's all right." ”
However, the great druid did not seem to appreciate it, but just snorted coldly, walked in quickly, and left him alone. Malcius, who was a little snubbed, had no choice but to follow Yelena's ass, close the door without saying a word, and walk in.
"Fruit, hot soup, bread and wine. Oh yes, and the generous Lord Theodore Julian gave me some very nice wine and olives, would you like to try them?" ”
"You're very proud now, Malcius 'prophet'!" Elena's tone revealed a hint of resentment, and a little unwillingness: "Hmm? Am I not right? Everything is going according to the prophecy, the human Shijie has not collapsed, the dwarves and the Noldor elves are forced to stand on the side of the humans, and they owe you a great favor! I can now think of how willing those compatriots with excessive self-esteem will come to repay these favors, and those ...... Dwarves more stubborn than stones, huh!"
"Not everything goes so smoothly, language is such a thing, it is only a possibility and not a necessity, although knowing it is already a necessity. Malcius took two cups and filled them for himself and Elena: "Although it is a great achievement, it is also equivalent to clearing a major obstacle to the unification of the orcs." Humans, dwarves or Noldor are not capable of immediately organizing a powerful army to pursue and sweep the orc tribes in the southwest of the empire, and it won't be long before that orc khan named Ashina can bring those places into his rule!"
"It's not a nice thing to do, the orc, who has combined his military and material resources, has the ability to fight on both sides at the same time - of course, he needs a lot of time to do this, but we also need time to heal from the wounds and rebuild the army. Malcius sighed and drank the wine from his glass.
"It reminds me of the old days, if only it were back then. The old man said, "In that era when magic and arcane had not yet subsided, it was not very difficult to defeat these orcs, after all...... They're just more powerful or something!"
Unexpectedly, Yelena did not refute him, but looked at the cup in her hand in surprise, licking the corners of her mouth lightly, and there was still a faint fragrance in her mouth - this drink, called "wine", was unexpectedly delicious.
"Speaking of which, though, I have some questions for you, Elena. Seeing that the other party seemed to have been attracted to this new type of drink, a slight smile appeared on Malcius's face: "Not long ago, I visited the Forest of Silence, and in the hands of that warrior named Alpha Yi, I found a very unique weapon full of unknown liliang. ”
"The bleak night was a gift from me...... He has that qualification. Elena didn't hide anything: "The material used for that long knife is a small part left over from the original days when the gods forged the Radiant Cross, and I used it to forge a new weapon - there seems nothing wrong with that." ”
"If that's all I wouldn't have said in particular, Elena!" Malcius suddenly grimaced: "The steel of the stars alone is not enough to reach that point, and the bleak night has a special liliang attached to it, if I guess correctly, it should be the power of faith--indestructible!"
"I don't want to know how you did it, even when the gods were still here, it took extremely terrifying faith and magic to make it work, and such a powerful power of faith is not bad compared to the Radiant Cross, although it is only one, unlike the Radiant Cross, which has the combination of the power of courage, victory and fearlessness. ”
"But don't you know? It's not that time now, and using such a powerful magic will hurt you far more than it did at the beginning!" Malcius looked at the indifferent female elf in front of him with regret: "You will even lose the immortal Liliang because of this." ”
"It's my business, it's none of your old fellow. The Great Druid turned his head away from him: "My Liliang, I can give it to whoever I want, you can't control this!"
"You're not going to give the Great Druid's legacy to that samurai, are you? Maltheus sighed, "I knew it would be this way, though............ I can't accept it so far.,The fact that I've completely dissociated myself from this shijie.。 ”
"We pass on the prophecy, and when the prophecy comes true, what happens next is none of our business. Shijie will naturally follow its proper trajectory, and all we can do is watch its every move. Maltheus sighed: "Obviously, this shijie no longer relies on the former Liliang. ”
"Malcius. Elena looked at the somewhat lost old man in front of her, and an unrelieved pain came from the bottom of her heart: "Actually, we can still ............"
"In that case, then it is all the more necessary to do everything that can be done while you are not alive enough!" Suddenly, as if rejuvenated, the old man became very energetic: "I think I should go to the Caesarea gentleman, well, yes!"
"Come on, let's all get busy, maybe I should pick an heir too?" Malcius continued to mutter to himself, not noticing at all, that Yelena's face in front of him was getting darker and darker: "Well, I also met a nice guy who studied hard and was eager to learn, very much like the charm of my youth. I guess it would be a good choice!"
"Bang!" The cold-faced female elf stood up from her chair and startled the old man: "Yelena, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? The Great Druid sneered a few times, snatched the flask from Malcius's hand, and said in a suppressed voice, "It seems that your prophet is not so clever, and he didn't even expect such a small thing!"
After speaking, regardless of the other party's puzzled face, he turned around and left, kicked open the wooden door in a very chic manner, and strode out of the cabin.
"What the hell is going on?" the old man shook his head, looked at the empty palm, and hurriedly rushed out of the door: "Elena, Elena, wait a minute! That flask ............"
"It's up to you to make amends for me!" The female elf only left her back to the old man, and raised the small jug full of wine in her hand: "You old madman who will never grow up!"
"Sounds good, too. The helpless old man muttered, "Never grow up?" ”
"Old urchin --- Maltheus~. Well, that's a good title. ”
(The first thing to say is,All the things that involve magic in this novel are absolutely rare.,It's impossible for people who can use magic to exceed the number of slaps.,It's impossible to have a scene full of magic when the two armies face off.,At least this book is impossible.,About the magic setting of this kind of thing.,Sora is still thinking about it.,Recently, I've been reading "Hell Dictionary" and "Demon Dictionary", this thing has given me a lot of new thinking patterns, and the magic that appears in this chapter is basically the product of thinking.)
Immortal and immortal, liliang of faith sustenance...... This involves subjective idealism.,Simply put, it's "what I think will appear".,Calling for wind and rain and the like are basically counted in this type.,It's impossible to say in reality that I think it's going to rain and it's going to rain.,So those who believe in weather forecasts are generally objective materialism.。
Several liliang that appear in the novel can be understood in this way: for example, the power of the "invincible" belief on the bleak night is that the great druid Elena firmly believes that the sword is "indestructible", and then tells Alpha Yi that the sword is "indestructible", so as long as Alpha holds the bleak night, he can cut everything. If you encounter a shield with something similar to "indestructible" magic, it depends on the willpower of both parties, the more determined the person Liliang will be, the stronger the liliang, and the wavering of faith, Liliang will also dissipate.
To put it simply, the empty magic setting is still very immature and at a very low-level level, so don't be like me, and we'll talk about it when I'm really done
zuihou,Thank you for the tip of the old purple children's shoes.,Suddenly give a reward.,I'm really a little excited in my empty heart)
