Chapter 1323: The Eye of Light
What a diamond this is!
Not only is it big, but it can even gather light!
The High Priest gently placed the diamond on the table, and slowly spoke, "It is called the Eye of Light, and it is one of the ten weapons with divine power that Empress Ophelia gave me. ”
, no wonder the appearance effect is so amazing, the co-author is one of the top ten artifacts!
I couldn't wait to ask, "Does it have any special abilities?" ”
"It can perceive the past and predict the future......"
That's awesome!
Without waiting for the high priest to finish speaking, I picked up the Eye of Light and looked left and right, looking up and down, except that I felt that this thing was a little heavy, there was nothing strange about it.
"Uh...... Am I holding it the wrong way? ”
"No," the high priest smiled, "it's that you don't understand it, so it doesn't recognize you." ”
Anyway, take the Eye of Light.
The moment her hand touched the Eye of Light, countless phantoms appeared from the surface of the diamond, and flashed at the same time, so fast that even I could only see a phantom.
"That was ...... just now"
"That was the past, and it was something that happened on this Zephyr Continent," the High Priest gently stroked the Eye of Light, and said, "It is also the history that this Zephyr Continent can never erase." ”
I stared at the Eye of Light for a long time, and felt nothing but that it was a very valuable diamond.
"Is it possible for me to gain its trust?"
The High Priest smiled and shook his head: "No way, all you care about is the price, not the price." ”
"Hey," I scratched my head rather embarrassed.
The High Priest continued to caress the Eye of Light, just as the master caressed his beloved kitten.
With my chin on my chin curt, I stared at the Bright Eye for a moment and said, "You say you can see the past and the future in it?" ”
"Yes," said the High Priest.
"Are you referring to the entire Zephyr Continent?"
"Yes," said the High Priest.
"Is it from the beginning of the formation of the Zephyr Continent to the extinction of the Zephyr Continent, you can see this past and future?"
"No," the High Priest shook his head, "I can see the past from its creation to the present, the time that has passed, and as for the future, I can only see the future." ”
"Can you tell me what you see the future look like in the near future?"
"War and death," the High Priest said calmly.
However, the moment I heard her calm words, I couldn't calm down.
War and death, these are two of the most cruel and terrible things in the world.
Although I had been preparing for these two things, I was still speechless when I heard that they were actually going to happen.
"Isn't it going to kill a lot of people?"
With a calm expression, I uttered a trembling voice.
"If there are no dead people, how can the deterrent effect of war be reflected?" ”
After a moment of silence, I said, "Yes...... Did Carter Scott cause war? ”
"You can't stop it," the High Priest shook his head and said, "Even if Carter Scott is assassinated by you, the flames of war will still be ignited, and war will still be spilled over every land." ”
"Why is this happening?" I was puzzled.
"Because wars are never something that can be started by one person," the high priest said lightly.
Then, she reached out and stroked the top of my shiny head, saying, "Greed, rage, lust, power...... It is because of these that there are endless disputes, fights, and battles between human beings, and yet, child, these are innate to human beings and cannot be separated, so wars will only stop, not disappear, whether it is the current situation or the blueprint you have planned. ”
"You know my plan ......"
The High Priest smiled, "Of course I do. ”
"You don't object?"
"Why should I object?"
"My plan has a lot to do with this war, and maybe the future war will be launched because of the implementation of my plan!"
"I know," the High Priest was still smiling, her voice was gentle and her tone was calm, "I have already said that the war will not go away, it will only end, and if your plan can make the war stop for a longer time, why should I object?" ”
"But...... This will kill a lot of people! I blurted out and excitedly said, "There will be many families broken up, there will be many races dying out because of this, there will be ......"
The high priest raised his hand and waved it slightly: "In the original Zephyr Continent, the goblins were not the only race that appeared first, nor were they the strongest of the races that appeared first, during that chaotic time, the goblin race has been careful to avoid those powerful races, looking for land where they can live and reproduce, in the process of continuous migration, they learned how to live in a harsh environment, and because of this, they luckily avoided the fierce wars launched by other races because of greed, At the same time, it also avoided the tragedy of the subsequent monster slaughter of various races in the Zephyr Continent, until in the end, they became the only remaining ancient race in the Zephyr Continent, and were granted weapons with divine power by the God of Creation, expanding the territory, and finally stabilizing the current Zephyr Continent, if you go to ask any scholar in the academy now, or the professor in the adventurer's base, 'Which is the oldest race in the Zephyr Continent?' They would undoubtedly all answer that it was the elves, but was that really the case? ”
The warmth of her palm made my shiny head feel very comfortable, and I squinted like a kitten: "Of course it's not true, didn't you just say it, the goblins are not the only race that first appeared." ”
"So, are the scholars and professors wrong?" The high priest asked again.
I thought for a moment: "No, they just said what they know so far." ”
"This is the key" the high priest said: "In the thousands of years of history of the Zephyr Continent, countless new races have appeared, and at the same time, countless old races will be replaced, these old races will either synchronize with the new races, or become dust and completely eliminated, these races that have disappeared without a trace may be remembered by people for a period of time, but after all, they will still be buried by the dust of history, this is this world." ”
I was silent, and at the same time lost in deep thought.
As the High Priest said, in the course of history, countless races have disappeared without a trace, some may leave traces and history, and some may not even have traces of existence.
Not to mention the rest, just the family of Boss Rennes, who has been oppressed by the Carter family, once his ancestors were also heroes like legendary heroes, but now, who will remember the contributions made by his ancestors to Eri City and the Zephyr Continent?
No, no one will remember, except for himself, and also for me, a later insider.
If it weren't for me, perhaps Boss Wren would have cowered at the intersection of Eri's Civilian Street and the Slums, continuing to be his casino owner, waiting for the time to assassinate the Carter family.
