silence.
It was very quiet.
Lan opened his eyes wide, trying his best to convey his seriousness and reliability to Sigourney and Ash.
However, it could not be delivered.
Signe sneered, "A world that can only be saved by falling in love? Such a world is doomed." He didn't believe what Lan said at all, and glanced at Ash, "Besides - has Iluf fallen to the point where he needs to save her?"
Ash corrected him: "You said 'we'." Falling in love wasn't something he could accomplish alone.
Sigourney pretended not to hear and looked at Lan inquiringly.
Lan looked back at me sincerely: "How can you believe it? Dailan was the most outstanding astrologer of that era. For this prophecy, she separated half of her soul and created me, waiting for your arrival here. By the way, the Gate of Reflection and the Road of Witness are also specially prepared for you."
She didn't notice Sigourney's expressionless face, and continued, "The Gate of Reflection allows you to choose a like-minded partner. The Road of Witness can promote a deeper relationship between partners. Dailan hopes that whenever you have a conflict, you can recall everything that was frank and sincere on the Road of Witness, reconcile, and don't delay saving the world."
Ash & Sigourney: "..."
There is so much to complain about. Will the world be destroyed if they quarrel?
Even Ash's smile froze at the corners of his lips. Is the joke about saving the world still not working?
Ash quietly reached out and held one of Sigourney's fingers, shaking it to calm the vampire's impatience. He then looked at Lan and asked clearly, "What Sigourney meant just now is that Iluv is fine, why does she need to be 'saved'?"
Let’s not talk about the point that love can save the world. The key point now is that there is nothing wrong with the world. There are no signs or signs of destruction, so how can we save it?
Lan said solemnly: "Dalan predicted it. Ilufu will be destroyed."
Ash asked patiently: "Why is it destroyed? What disaster will happen in the future?" Is it an invasion of the undead, or will a devastating war finally break out between magical creatures and wizards?
Lan shook her head: "I don't know. It involves the death of a world, even Dailan can't see it clearly."
Ash thought for a moment, "You know that a wizard came in before and took one of Dahlan's notebooks, right?"
Lan: "Remember. He is the starting point of the prophecy. When he comes to the outside of the ruins, it will be the day I wake up. He was not qualified to enter the ruins and could not pass through the Gate of Reflection. I opened the door for him in secret."
Ash's eyes widened.
Rachel entered the ruins of Dailan and discovered his existence and whereabouts through the "Stone of Prophecy". She went to Broken River Plain alone to find him and came to Duogu Village. She attracted Sigourney and Nance, who were bent on revenge, and facilitated their first meeting. She made a contract with Sigourney by accident, and their fates were connected from then on.
It turns out that everything started from this relic.
Under the ancient Dailan's prophecy, the gears of fate began to turn seamlessly.
Lan said: "He asked about the 'Stone of Prophecy' and took away Dailan's notes and Dailan's contract."
Ash looked up sensitively, "Contract?"
Lan looked at him and Sigourney with relief: "Yes. It is the contract you have now."
Ash: “!”
Sigourney: “!”
Even the contract is related to Dailan?
Having said that, the only clues found in Rachel's wizard tower was that the contract was an ancient contract collected by Rachel, but no one knew where he collected it from.
Now it seems that it is not surprising that this contract was obtained from Dailan's relics.
Ash hurriedly asked, "What kind of contract is this?"
I didn't expect that the exact answer that I couldn't find in Rachel's wizard tower could be found in this unexpected place.
Lan smiled, "It's a contract that Dailan and Mercator created for each other."
Merctor is... Ash recalled the historical secrets that Meng had popularized to him, and was surprised that Merctor was the first King of Dailan and also Dailan's husband.
"That's right. Although it's a contract between just the two of them, considering their relationship, it can still be called a companion contract, right?" Lan looked at the two people opposite with a joking look.
Companion, companion contract?
Huh?
He and Sigourney...
Ash's face suddenly turned red.
I didn’t expect that when we first met, he was already... with Sigourney?
Really, really is the best gift for a sixteen-year-old.
Sigourney: "..." He was so shocked that his mind uncontrollably slid to a strange place - would Merctor and Dailan also swap bodies like him and Ash did when they encountered a crisis? He and Ash were fine, both men, but Merctor and Dailan were a man and a woman, right? How should Merctor face the changed body?
Sigourney's shock didn't last long because she couldn't help but think about other things. She was shocked by the sudden thought that came to her mind. She pulled the corners of her lips strangely, and then returned to her nonchalant look, making it impossible to tell what strange thoughts had just gone through her mind.
"What does this contract do?" he asked calmly.
Lan laughed: "Haven't you felt it a long time ago?"
Sigourney raised her eyebrows and didn't ask any further.
As long as we know that the nature of the contract is harmless, there is really no need to get to the bottom of it.
"Let's talk about Dailan's notes." Ash cleared his throat with a red face, trying to find the topic that had gone astray. "In Dailan's notes, there is a sentence - 'Magical creatures have not lost, and the world will fall into their hands'. What does this sentence mean? Is it related to the destruction of Iluv that she predicted?"
It was because of this sentence that they decided to come to the ruins to find out the truth.
Lan nodded, then shook her head: "There should be a connection, but it cannot be confirmed. As I said before, when it comes to the death of a world, no one can predict the truth." She recalled, and in a few words, she presented the events of ancient times to the two of them in a glimpse.
The ancient background was exactly the same as what Ash knew.
Magical creatures enslaved humans, and then humans gained the power of magic, rose up in resistance, and the battle began on Iluf.
Magical creatures possess innate powerful strength, while humans possess terrifying learning abilities, endless potential, and far greater numbers than magical creatures.
Finally, the magical creatures showed signs of defeat and all retreated to a plain. The human army gathered outside the plain, about to start the final battle for the success or failure of the race.
At this time, Dailan conducted an astrology reading.
She made several predictions.
The first prophecy is for the human army: "The magical creatures have not lost, and the world will fall into their hands."
The second prophecy was for herself: "Thousands of years later, Iluf will face a crisis of extinction. At that time, a pair of loving couples will enter my ruins. They are the hope of saving Iluf."
So before the war, she came to the abyss, built a ruin, and left half of her soul.
"What happened next? The war?" Ash asked. "What did the magical creatures do?"
Lan shook her head. “I only have the memory of getting here. Neither Dailan nor I at that time knew what the first prophecy specifically referred to.”
In other words, Ash and the others' doubts still remained unanswered.
Not only has the mystery remained unsolved, it seems to be growing larger and larger.
In fact, at this point, Sigourney and Ash were already inclined to believe what Lan said.
Even though Dailan's prediction was too outrageous.
If that outrageous prophecy is true... Ash paused, changed his train of thought and asked, "Okay. If Iluv is about to be destroyed..."
Lan interrupted him disapprovingly: "It's not a matter of course, it's a necessity."
Ash nodded good-naturedly, "Okay. Iluv is about to be destroyed - so what should Signy and I do to save it?" He looked at Lan opening her mouth and making the "love" shape again, and quickly added, "I mean, what exactly should we do?"
It's not possible that Iluf can be saved just by staying in the third wizard tower and having a romance, right?
If that was the case, he also agreed with what Sigourney had just said, that the world that could only be saved by falling in love was doomed.
Ke Lan still shook her head: "I don't know." She seemed to realize that her answer was too simple, and added, "Let nature take its course. Destiny will always follow its due trajectory."
Sigourney: "..." That's why he hates astrologers, they are just as weird and nonsensical as Nance.
Astrologer Ash felt a chill on his back and shuddered silently.
Sigourney gave him a cold look. Well, except for this astrologer.
"If you must give me a hint -" Lan smiled, "Dalan also had a third prophecy at that time, a prophecy for her husband Mercator."
"——'Take a nap. When someone wakes you up from your dream, we can meet again.'"
See you again?
Ash was surprised: "Dalan and Mercator are still alive?"
Lan still said "I don't know". She said: "I can no longer sense the existence of the other half of Dailan's soul."
Ash pondered for a moment, then looked at Sigourney, who already understood: "Shall we go find Merktor?"
“When someone wakes you up from your dream” - why can’t they come to be the “person” of this “someone”?
Or in other words, the "someone" in this prophecy was originally referring to them?
Sigourney raised the corners of her lips and nodded slightly.
