The biting autumn wind blows on the face like a knife, making people feel bleak. The dusk sky now seems to be indifferently covering the sun, blocking out all heat.
On the endless prairie.
"boom!"
Following a deafening explosion, several figures rushed out from the depths of the ground.
Several lizard-like black monsters twisted their tall bodies nearly as tall as a man and chased them out of the ground like pythons, making angry roars.
"Bang!"
Before several monsters entered the grassland, a heavy hammer hit the leading lizard on the head like a stick.
The small cave could not allow two monsters to rush in at the same time, so the remaining monsters had no choice but to scream and be smashed back into the depths of the ground by the corpse of the leading monster.
"I didn't expect monsters to survive in the ruins here!"
Eckert took back the hammer and couldn't help but bared his teeth.
"In terms of results, it's another trip in vain, right?"
He turned his head and looked behind him with a questioning look.
"This ruins has long been occupied by monsters. All the clues before the Summer War have been destroyed and are basically worthless."
Habeimiao looked at the cave at his feet with regret. They had gone through so much trouble to find this place, but they didn't expect anything to be gained in the end.
"Get out of your way, I will destroy this ruins."
Qie stepped forward and signaled to everyone.
No one had any objection.
Since they are all occupied by monsters anyway, let's let this ruins completely disappear into history.
Ash immediately set about destroying the crypt.
The monsters underground seemed to be aware of what was going on here, and roared out one after another, but the way up was blocked by the grid made by Habeimiao with silk threads.
After a while, the flames surged deep into the ground, burning all the lizard monsters including the ruins.
"In the end, the only thing that can be counted as a harvest is this stone slab."
After the exploration was over, the group embarked on the return journey.
Looking at the only valuable slate on the carriage, Matthew said depressedly.
"The stone slab found in the wreckage of Orkney is actually the one photographed by Mr. Jiang Li 2,400 years later... What a twist of fate."
That's right.
That stone slab was engraved with a huge beast and six goblins, with the word Cornunnos written on it. It was the mural that Jiang Li discovered in Londinion 2,400 years later!
Jiang Li spread his hands.
It means that I am also very helpless!
He had already shown the photos of the murals above half a year ago to Xie, but the results only confirmed the accuracy of the song, and did not hold any key to the truth of Creation.
"Anyway, let's transport the mural back to Londinion first."
There was no reaction on Ai's face, and he made the suggestion calmly.
"oh?"
Jiang Li's expression condensed slightly.
"Finally planning to return to Londinion?"
The expressions of Eckert and Matthew suddenly became nervous.
Returning to Londinion means that the final battle is about to begin.
The most depressing thing is that it was a battle in which it was almost impossible to see where the victory would be, and the possibility of failure was infinitely close to 10%!
"There are only a few days left before Londinion's coronation ceremony."
Ash nodded.
"We have to rush back to Londinion no matter what!"
Starting half a year ago, after Salisbury used the power of the Wind Clan to remove all the curses on Jiang Li, everyone began to wander around Britain.
Or look for the murals left by the Rain Clan, or the oral legends left by the Mirror Clan, or the book records left by humans, in order to find the truth about Creation!
They traveled almost all over Britain and hardly rested for half a year. Everyone was working hard.
No.
It should be said that Jie had put in all her efforts on her own, and Jiang Li and the other four were just accompanying her.
Thanks to this energy, they found about two results.
One of them is the mural found in the wreckage of Orkney at the northern end a month ago. However, it records a story that has long been known, so it is basically of no value.
Another harvest is the prophecy of destruction left by the first human being in this Lost Belt - the priestess who worshiped the gods.
That's right, it's a prophecy about the four wars in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the destruction of the Fairy Kingdom by Naraku Insects.
To Jiang Li's expectation, this prophecy was actually found by Qie when he and his companions were exploring. The reason why not many people in later generations knew about this prophecy was probably because it was not passed down by Qie.
During the entire six months of exploration, no one returned to Londinion even once.
But I can't go back now.
There are only three days left before the coronation ceremony.
If I don't go back, I might even miss the coronation ceremony.
Then even the final chance to change the future is gone!
night.
As usual, everyone camped out in the wild. After raising the barrier, they lit bonfires and set up camp. Even Jiang Li and Ma Xiu were familiar with this routine.
"I mean, can't you write to Uther and ask him to postpone the coronation ceremony?"
Sitting by the campfire, Habeimiao finished flipping through the diary and looked at everyone carefully.
"As long as we postpone the ceremony, or simply cancel the coronation ceremony, wouldn't we be able to avoid that outcome?"
In the legend of later generations, Uther died during the coronation ceremony.
In this case, as long as the coronation ceremony is cancelled, User will not die during the coronation ceremony. Wouldn't this successfully prevent the worst outcome?
"With your brains, you can actually think of such a potentially effective method. I'm really surprised!"
Eckert admired Habemeow with a surprised look on his face.
Habeimiao immediately put on a pair of dead fish eyes.
Are you praising me or hurting me?
"Ai, what do you think?"
Eckert looked at Qie and thought.
"I think Tetrotte's proposal might be worth a try?"
"That's not necessary."
But Ai rejected the proposal without hesitation.
"Because that in itself is useless. What history needs is the result of 'User dies'. It doesn't matter where he dies. Even if there is no coronation ceremony, as long as User dies unexpectedly somewhere, history will also be able to
The result was treated as 'Uther died during the coronation ceremony'."
Word of mouth or textual records.
These will be manipulated by history, and the result will be restored to "Uther died in the coronation ceremony."
Therefore, the coronation ceremony is not the key.
That just informed them of Uther's death date.
Whether they postpone the ceremony or cancel it, the outcome will not change.
Should Uther die at that time, or he will die at that time.
It is absolutely impossible to think that everything will be fine by changing the coronation ceremony. This kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable!
"If that's the case, what are you going to do, Miss Qi?"
Matthew looked at Qie with an inquiring expression.
"If there is anything you need our help with, please just ask!"
Ash's existence is the backbone of the Fairy Kingdom.
In half a year of getting along with each other, Matthew has deeply understood this.
She even began to doubt herself.
I doubt myself, if I go back to 2400 years later, whether I can stand on the opposite side of Ai.
"No need for you to do anything."
But Ai coldly rejected her enthusiastic support.
"I already have a plan, but this plan can only be known by myself. I can't tell anyone of you. The world is all-pervasive. Once I tell it, maybe the plan will be leaked."
