Chapter 699: Scourge Star

The galaxy is boundless.

When you look up, you can see the three full moons at the top of the firmament. At this time, people instinctively return to their homes before sunset. Even thieves and drunken grooms who survive the night will uncharacteristically stay in their cozy or not-so-warm cosy dens, rumored to be doing so to escape the Magical Moon. The magic of the three full moons is always passed on by word of mouth in the countryside, and in their legends, humans bathed in the full moon can become irritable, terrifying, and aggressive. It was even eroded by magic and turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghostly. And the time when magic is at its strongest, it is also the time when those banshees, ghosts and other monsters are frequent, and the army of the king of the dead crosses the sky, taking away the prey they see. Hook their souls and drag the weeping degenerates into the abyss of death.

Of course, most of these are untrustworthy rumors, and more are deceptive nonsense made up by fortune-telling witches in the countryside, but people are still silent about it. Even the rumor-mongers themselves were silent at this time, as if they were afraid that some terrible existence would come to the door to punish them for their unscrupulous words -- although the people of this world had not heard of Ye Gong's story of Haolong, they always understood similar meanings.

"Tales of the Dire ............"

Nora put down the heavy book in her hand and turned her head to look at the old man beside her, who was half as tall as him.

"I didn't expect you to watch this, old man."

"Hehehe."

Hearing the Sage's teasing, the old mage, who looked like a halfling, grinned.

"What's wrong? Don't you think that's interesting? I have always believed that the human imagination is unparalleled in this world. You see, they can imagine so much from the empty night. Isn't it interesting to have such a complex and interesting story and existence? To know. A mage without imagination, but he won't live long, right? ”

"But I don't think the fear that is spreading is in itself commendable."

Hearing the old mage's words, the Sage Nora frowned, but he was also very aware of his old friend's temperament, so he didn't plan to talk about it more. They quarreled over this a hundred and fifty years ago, and now there is no way to tell the winner.

"Alright, old friend, you called me. I guess it's not to show me the nonsense of these Pazinians. ”

"Of course not."

Hearing this, the old mage's face was also grim, and he raised his head and looked at Nora.

"Old man, I've been watching the sky at night lately, and I've noticed something very strange."

"Oh?"

In the face of the old mage's words, Nora's brow couldn't help but twitch slightly. Of course, he knew that this old friend of his was not only one of the best archmages in the entire Klein Continent, but also the most famous astrologer in the Seth Empire. The gods have written the laws of the movement of all things in the sky. And those stars are the keys to unlocking the secrets. Although she was a demigod, Nora always had some doubts about divination and prophecy. But there's no denying that they sometimes do solve seemingly unanswered questions and point the way for people who are confused. Or tell them an answer. And the strength of his old friend is one of the best.

"How?"

"I've been just like you all this time. Always on the hunt for the culprit who threatens the continent........."

As he spoke, the old mage raised his staff. Swiped in the air. Soon, accompanied by his movements. The arc-shaped dome slowly slid to the side, presenting the beautiful starry sky in front of him and Nora. Then the old mage held the staff a little upward, and soon, a void light shot out from the tip of the staff and flew upward.

"I've tried to find clues about those evil forces through the stars, and in fact, I've found a reward, you see..............."

The old mage drew another circle in the air.

"We all know that the gods created the sky when they created the earth, and they placed the stars on it to guide everything on the earth. The starry sky is constantly changing, and they reflect everything that happens on the continent like a mirror. And it's the same now, you see here......... These days, I have noticed that several stars are unusually active, and I am sure that they are portented by the catastrophe that will invade our continent. ”

Saying this, the old mage first pointed to one of the stars located in the west, which was wrapped in a cold cyan blue nebula, which looked unusually cold and strange.

"The Star of the Broken Sword symbolizes the courage of being broken, the spokesperson of death and destruction. I think this is the master behind the undead legion, a depraved one we know well, who has now made a comeback as the stars indicate, and vows to destroy the land once and for all. ”

As he spoke, the old mage glanced at Nora, and then he pointed to three other stars that glowed bright red in the other direction.

"The blood-red eye, the harbinger of destruction, whether it is good or bad, it represents fiery aggression and endless destruction."

"The staff of pain, the source of chaos. It represents the imminent plunge of endless wars on the continent. Order is about to collapse, and people's morality and reason will collapse in it, and the only thing left is fear. ”

"The curse of calamity represents the coming of calamity, sickness, and irresistible death. Plagues were rampant, sickness was rampant, and people could only tremble and die in helpless prayers. ”

At this, the old mage let out a long sigh and looked at Nora.

"You know what, old man? I have consulted the records and experiences of astrologers throughout the ages, and even the appearance of even one of these four catastrophic stars indicates that the entire Klein Continent will encounter unimaginable catastrophes in hundreds of years. But the four stars are out together......... This is something that has never happened in history at all! I need to warn you, this time, our world is really in trouble. ”

Facing the old mage's words. Nora was silent for a long time, not knowing how long it had been. He let out a long sigh.

"Thank you, old friend."

"Nope. Don't thank me. ”

In the face of Nora's words, the old mage smiled bitterly.

"Actually, what I really want to say is only now becoming."

"What?"

Hearing this, Nora was taken aback. In his opinion, the information that the old mage had revealed to him before was shocking enough. You must know that although the old mage did not say anything particularly detailed, the appearance of the Four Stars of Calamity alone had already made Nora feel terrified. After all, although there are many terrifying beings in this world, there are really those who can be connected with the Calamity Star. Those are all quasi-demon king-level existences, and it can be said that apart from them, the other demons don't even have the qualifications to go to the rooftop. If Nora had received an oracle before, he was still a little unclear about the strength of the enemy. And only now did he finally understand how powerful the enemy he was facing. Such an enemy, even if it is just one. All of them were enough to make this continent unstable for a hundred years, and now, the four of them came out together -- no wonder the gods would send down an oracle to find the Holy Son themselves.

Originally, Nora thought that the news was bad enough. But what he didn't expect was that there was something worse than this.

"What could be worse than that?"

"Pretty much, old man. Actually, I can't confirm it either, but ......... The possibilities are high. ”

Faced with Nora's inquiry. The old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and spoke.

"If my guess is correct. There should be five disaster stars that appear this time. ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Nora was taken aback and hurriedly looked at the sky.

"Five? So where is the last one? ”

"I don't know, old man."

This time, however, the old mage spread his hands and shook his head.

"To be honest, I've only deduced from the orbits of the other four stars that there are some signs of such a Calamity. But where exactly it is, I can't be sure. To be honest, I also know it's weird, logically speaking, there is always something special about the Calamity Star as a sign from the sky. But this disaster star......... I don't know, as if something is wrong. ”

"Could it be that you are mistaken?"

Hearing the old mage's words, Nora frowned.

"Maybe it's the four stars of disaster..............."

"No, old man, I'm sure there's a fifth Calamity Star."

Hearing Nora's inquiry, the old mage shook his head steadfastly, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the starry sky.

"You know what? At first I wasn't sure if I was right, but to be on the safe side, I looked at it, and guess what I found, I noticed that the light of several stars had dimmed or even obscured!! ”

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Nora's expression suddenly became serious. Although he is not an astrologer, he does know what the horoscope is. It is said that every star in the sky corresponds to everyone on earth. And the passing of a star also represents the passing of that soul. Of course, generally speaking, these people who are qualified to have "life stars" are not ordinary people. Otherwise, as long as there is a battle, then everyone can "accompany you to watch the meteor shower fall on this continent" together.

"That is, there is indeed a Calamity Star, but we can't find it!"

Nora also looked solemn at this moment, if things were really as the old mage said, then this disaster star was probably even more harmful than the previous four. In the face of his words, the old mage also nodded.

"Yes, and you know what? Nora, my biggest fear is not this, you're not an astrologer and don't understand what that means. Because from what I've observed, if that's right, then the fifth Calamity Star happens to be in the middle of the four Calamity Stars, and you know what that means? This means that as long as the fifth Calamity Star is always present, then the other four Calamity Stars can form a perfect, never-ending cycle!! ”

"What did you say!?"

It was only at this time that Nora was really shocked. (To be continued.) )
