While Jonah was studying the strange food on the fork, he was thinking about how to tell the prophecies of the unknown book to his companions, and make them believe that they had received a real revelation, rather than being inspired by the bloody scene on rent day.
hallucination.
"Uh...is this really edible?" he asked timidly.
"Stop talking nonsense! Eat it while it's hot!" Xibi glared at him fiercely.
Jonah held back the feeling in his stomach and slowly opened his mouth. Although the two-inch-long fried trinematodes looked brown, crispy and fragrant, like small sausages filled with diced meat, the aquatic worms with strong vitality were still there.
The fork tips kept twisting and dancing in a dying dance.
"I think it's alive..." he said timidly.
"What a life! It's so premature! It's just a natural reflex, so it tastes better! Eat!" Xibi chewed his food and scolded the citizens of St. Bollen who did not understand the appreciation of food.
Jonah looked at his teammates secretly.
People were sitting around on the floor of room A51, with fried trinematodes, small fish soup, hard bread and black gold gopher meat that had not changed for thousands of years in front of them.
The two Bazeral mountain people happily chewed the traditional food of their hometown without any psychological barriers; the southerner Jekong put all kinds of food into his mouth expressionlessly, and Jonah didn't think he could taste the food;
Elliot was obviously also fighting a psychological struggle, but the principle of obedience forced him to succumb to Sibi's power. He frowned and swallowed half of the dancing meat bugs; "I don't eat meat." Long Ji said, and received an additional pardon.
, but she peeked at Jonah and Elliot with a narrow smile that betrayed her, and the astrologer apprentice felt aggrieved.
Jonah thought about it for a long time. Maybe too long. He looked at his friends and felt that the time was right.
"I...I have something to say to everyone." He put down his fork and said seriously.
"You say it, you say it." The head of the room picked up the wooden cup, drank water, and swallowed a big mouthful of food.
"It's a very serious matter." Jonah's eyes were serious.
"You say it, you say it." Farmer Bazelal waved his hand majestically, signaling his friends to calm down and listen to the Master Astrologer's lecture, while chewing crunchy fried insects.
"Seriously." Jonah reminded.
"You say it, you say it." Toba sat with his chest raised and his head raised, his mouth tightly closed, and his big cheeks bulged.
Jonah decided to ignore everyone's reaction.
He lowered his head and looked at the ground and said quickly: "Actually, there is one thing that I have always wanted to tell everyone since I came to Yingyingdu, but I have never been able to say it for various reasons.
Everyone knows that I am from St. Bolen. Before the Red Stone Castle was captured by the army of the Zawi Empire - according to the Earthly Dragon Knight Joop, it was a legion called the 'Ravens' - I often came from the Astrologer Tower.
I walked to the Royal and Anglican Library of Red Stone Castle to check information. One day I found a strange unnamed book in a secret room of the library. This book was signed by "Segles the Betrayer".
The first half of the big book tells the secret history of St. Bollen, while the second half consists of strange and illogical diaries or poems.
I was too young at the time to realize the meaning of this book until the day the invaders breached the walls of Red Stone Castle. At that time the tyrant Yelizavetan had not yet unilaterally torn up the Joint Amnesty Treaty, which allowed me to safely
Walking into the Red Stone Castle and witnessing the brutal massacre - to me at that time, the massacre seemed to be something out of a knight's novel and had nothing to do with me - until a certain scene in front of me coincided with a chapter of an unknown book in my memory.
It was completely consistent. Only then did I understand that the second half of the unnamed book was a prophecy about the future by the traitor Segres. This mysterious author accurately predicted what was about to happen to Redstone Castle in vague language decades ago.
of this massacre.
When I realized the importance of the book, the Royal and Anglican Library had been set ablaze by the enemy. I rushed in despite the flames and only saved two and a half pages of the unknown book.
Room Chief, Eli, Little Grasshopper, Ye Kong,... Long Ji, listen to me, I came to Cherry Crossing because of the prophecy of the Unnamed Book, even though the Astrology Tower is no longer safe, I had to leave; Cherry Crossing
In Segres' prediction, friends, the predicted date is April 26th in the near future. I don't know what will happen, but I am sure that bad things will happen, and we need to be prepared.
For this day—the day of prophecy.”
Yona finished the long monologue he had prepared for a long time in one breath, breathing rapidly, and raised his head to observe everyone's reaction. The tenants in A51 raised their cutlery and looked at him blankly. With a cluck, the room leader swallowed the food.
Go down, chirp, chirp.
"Brother, what are you talking about? I didn't understand." Xibi blinked his green eyes.
Jonah stood up and anxiously took out the few remaining pages of the unknown book with body temperature from the pocket of his underwear, "Look, it's right here. What I said is true. Please believe me, this matter
I didn't tell anyone, because astrologers shouldn't believe in stupid predictions, but I knew it was all true. The future of Cherry Crossing, our future, and even the future of the world were clearly written in these pages.
Please, please believe me!"
"Can we..." Elliot stretched out his hand.
"Of course, of course, Eli." Jonah stood on tiptoes and handed the paper to the Rosenknight, twitching his nose anxiously. Whenever he felt anxious, he always felt his nose itching.
I haven't felt this way for a long time after Teacher Wa. I was nervous, but anxious for recognition, like morning urine that I had been holding in for most of the night, making me restless.
Elliot held up the yellowed papyrus so that the words on the paper were illuminated by the sunlight coming in through the narrow window.
"The half page, the half page that was burned, Eli. According to the order, that page is the first thing that happened. The previous prophecy was burned, but I remembered the content, so I wrote it on it." Jonah reminded.
"On October 5th, the sun was pierced by a sharp sword," the Rosenkavalier said in extremely standard common language of the road. He paused and looked at Jonah with a little doubt.
"This is the first prophecy we know. Keep reading, Eli." Jonah rubbed his nose uneasily.
"On October 5th, the sun was pierced by a sharp sword. They gathered together and couldn't see each other. They could only see the sky and their heels." Elliott read.
Jonah walked to the center of the room, spread out his hands and tried his best to explain to his companions: "This is it! This is what happened that day. On April 2, the day when the Red Stone Castle was breached, hundreds of soldiers from the Queen's Guards
They were collectively beheaded by the Zawi people in front of the square in front of the palace.
The sun was pierced by a sharp sword, which refers to Matlactili (the first sun) hanging on the spire of the palace tower of Red Stone Castle; they were gathered together and could not see each other, only the sky and their heels,
This sentence refers to the soldiers who were beheaded. They were tied together and their heads fell to the ground. Some of the eyes on the heads were looking at the sky, and some were looking at the headless corpses. That's it!"
He looked around, seeing confused expressions on people's faces. Long Ji stretched out her hand slightly, as if she wanted to give him some help.
"No, I'm not crazy!" Jonah shouted almost hysterically, "Listen to me, if you were there, at Redstone Castle on the afternoon of April 2nd, and saw that scene with me, you would definitely believe me. Every word said, because that damn image screams 'I am that nightmare prophecy'!"
"Of course I believe you." Toba said with reverence.
"No, no, no, what I want is not your kind of belief, what I want is to 'believe' my belief. Uh...god, how should I express it so that you can believe it?" Yona rubbed the bridge of his nose violently. , pacing in circles, "Um, Elieli, can you continue reading?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. On October 6, Gamaliel descended from heaven, bringing with him all the chosen pagans. Ayala could not see him, Ayala could not hear him, but he lived in the palace of bones, no Feeling panicked, Gamaliel gave him advice: 'Don't go near the mirror,'" the Knight of Rose read on.
"This is the second prophecy. Did you hear it? This one is about..." Jonah opened his mouth excitedly, but his expression suddenly froze, as if he had been transformed into a stone statue by a petrification technique.
Xibi stood up hesitantly and waved his little hand in front of him, "Brother, are you okay?"
About the devil in my body. This is something more bizarre than a prophecy. Can I tell others? If others find out, will I become a heretic who deserves to be burned at the stake? But if I don’t say it, , and how to verify the accuracy of the prediction?
Wait a minute... I overlooked an important fact. The prophecy mentioned "bringing all the chosen pagans", which means that there may be many possessed demons coming to the world, maybe in front of me now. , my close friends, there are demons lurking in the mortal bodies among the tenants of A51. If I show that I have insight into this huge conspiracy, it may bring greater disaster to me and them... But if How can I seek help and find a way to expel the devil if I hide my secret like this?
Jonah thought about it, and his brain became a whirlpool of thunder and storms filled with fear and mission. One thought after another flashed through like lightning, and then was destroyed by the hurricane of denial. The fragmented thought fragments were scattered on the plain of thinking. Not knowing what to do, or even how to make a small movement to relieve the embarrassment, his whole body stiffened, and even his toes were tense in his boots.
"Hello?" Xibi patted his face and asked everyone nervously: "Is he still alive? His pupils are dilated."
"Sit down, little grasshopper, he's fine." Long Ji said, standing up gently, pinching Yona's cheek, and looked into his pupils with bottomless black eyes.
I don’t know what the Eastern woman did, but Jonah, who was struggling in the conflict, clearly saw a thunderbolt that split the sky and suddenly shook away the complicated thoughts. With a bang, the thunder and lightning and the storm disappeared without a trace, and his brain became extremely strange. When it became clear, the breeze blew across the field, and the fragments of thoughts were combined into clear ideas. At this moment, he knew what to do.
