Gululing.

The county magistrate's study.

Rush, the room was quiet, the only sound was the sound of a quill.

Fiona, who was sitting alone in the corner reading a book, stopped at the page turn, and raised her head and glanced in the direction of the desk.

Lance sat there, working attentively. It was said that men would be particularly heart-pounding when they were focusing on something. It seemed that this was true. Fiona stared at the side face and felt that her heart at this moment was no longer her.

But his concentration made Fiona's heart thrill and a little tingling.

"The raven returns west, the raven flies south, and the silent god of death is hiding your soul."

"Seventy and seventy, the death is coming."

In her mind, the scene of the sentence was unconsciously brushed away. Two days had passed since Lance and his men visited the human world for the first time, but this sentence still popped up from Fiona's mind from time to time. She clearly remembered the expression of Lance's pupils shrinking sharply at that time, but later he said indifferently that this was just baseless nonsense.

But he still brought back the woman who fainted after saying this series of prophecies. If it were normal, Fiona would not be satisfied, but now-

"Don't tell this." This is Lance's advice to Fiona.

In fact, among the people present at that time, except for Lance himself, only she and Aikir could understand the language of those humans, and that human being, because he did not understand the language of the abyss, could not convey the message to anyone.

Then only myself is left...

Fiona ran her finger and closed the book titled "Divine Art". She put it on the pile of high books, and then took out a book called "Predictive Magic" and opened the title page.

Although that woman may be mysterious when she is desperate. But it is absolutely a scam to say that she is not worried. There are some researches on predicting the future in the abyss. The lichs living in the thorny jungle believe that the concept of time is relatively static, and the time and space we exist are a circle that cycles infinitely according to the established trajectory.

They believe that the structure of this ring is very stable, which means that no matter how the past and future of the world change and develop, it is a fact that has been decided. All individuals and existences in the world are just backgrounds that drive the story forward.

This feeling is like reading a book. When you are reading it, you don’t know what the result of this book is. However, as you read more and more chapters, all the unknown contents before have become known history. Although there are still unread parts later, you must be very clear that this book will definitely end in a chapter in the future, because the text on this book has been written and recorded.

For ordinary people, the reading order is usually read from front to back one by one, maintaining the continuity and expectation of the story development. For them, there are always uncertainties in the subsequent story development and infinite possibilities. However, in this world, there are still a very small number of people. They can browse the future by jumping chapters, which is the foreseeable truth.

——They just spoiled the stories that will happen at a certain node in the future in advance.

Of course, not everyone agrees with the Lichs' theory, but for the undead whose life is almost infinite, they don't mind that this kind of time theory is what they used to pass the time over the long years. Moreover, they have enough patience and lifespan to wait for the time itself to come to this conclusion.

If that human girl named Yiwen really has the ability to predict the future, then Fiona would not dare to imagine waiting for Lance's fate.

She kept flipping through these related books, trying to get rid of them rather than prophecy, but helplessly, Fiona read a lot of books, but none of them taught others how to change their destiny.

However, compared to Fiona's anxiety, Lance's mood was surprisingly calm, so calm that even he himself felt incredible.

Like Fiona, he did not think that what Yiwen said in that situation was false. According to Egil's explanation afterwards, the phenomenon of apocalypse is extremely rare in the human world. Apocalypse, as the name suggests, is the meaning of the revelation of heaven. This is a sign that must only appear when there is a major change in the world. Lance stared at the prophetic skill on the Yiwen attribute panel and was stunned for at least three minutes.

But unlike Fiona who only stared at the last sentence, Lance heard a lot from this prophetic poem that deserves attention.

"The prosperity is buried in eternal night, and the world that has lost its light is turbulent."

"The flames of sulfur burn the earth, and the roaring wolf devoured the sky."

"The stars move and the tide turns, the rivers and seas flow against the current, and the door to the foreign land is about to open."

"Disasters come back, disasters come back, and the mourning followers are destined to bury their bones in a foreign land."

"The king wearing a golden crown has lost his scepter, and the lion that once gallops, the sun is setting."

"The raven returns west, the raven flies south, and the silent god of death is hiding your soul."

"Seventy and seventy, the death is coming."

The first two lines of this prophetic poem predict the turmoil of the eternal darkness and the coming period of the demon tide. The galaxy flows, the rivers and seas flow, and the door to the foreign land is about to open, which implies that the door to time and space will be opened after the chaos of time and space. It can be foreseeable that the demon king who has been waiting for war for nearly a century will never give up the opportunity to get it. The war with the human world does not seem to require too much speculation.

"The disaster comes back, the disaster returns, and the mourning followers are destined to bury their bones in a foreign land." "The king wearing a golden crown lost his scepter, and the lion that once galloped, the sunset was sunset." These two sentences bluntly predicted the result of the war. There is only one king wearing a golden crown in the abyss, and the sunset lion refers to the golden lion flag on the kingdom with a golden blue background.

And the last sentence is undoubtedly linked to Lance. It predicts that Lance's death is approaching, but the metaphor hidden in the sentence is the most difficult to understand in the whole poem. If the lion refers to the King's Team, then what does the raven refer to? Is the silent god of death just literally understand, or is it referring to someone or a force who intends to kill him?

There is another sentence of seventy and seventy, which seems to be about his death, but the meaning given literally is too general. Lance cannot grasp the truth based on these alone - he hopes to get more tips from the girl named Yiwen, but she is still in a coma. Lance simply brought the person back and asked Layla to take care of her.

After his initial surprise, Lance did not focus too much on this prophecy. It was not that he was not concerned about it, but that according to the content of the prophecy, the information about his death was at the end. He still had a lot of time to observe the accuracy of this prophecy, but now, there are things that cannot be delayed waiting for him to resolve.

Thinking of this, Lance suddenly realized why he was so calm in the face of knowing that his death might have happened. It was actually very simple to think about it carefully. It was that Lance had not tried his best to fight with his life. Death was just the price paid by failure. If Lance could not stand the next level of the demon tide, perhaps the content of the prophecy would have to be advanced.

So one thing goes one by one, Lance must not let it appear suddenly. A prophecy that didn't know whether it was true or false disrupted his plan. Now he is planning with all his might to use the hidden time and space gate in the North Ridge to open up a business road to the human world.

This is not an easy task.

There are two problems in total. On the one hand, it is Lance's own reason. This secret passage of the time and space gate is hidden in the mountains of the North Ridge. It covers not only the time and space gate that cannot be leaked, but also the crystal mine of Lance and the biological nests that are future combat power. These are Lance's trump cards, and it is not something that can be leaked casually. However, to open a business road, there will be obviously caravans coming and going here. Lance has to seal the mouths of a few people, so there is no problem, but once it becomes a long and wide mouth, Lance will become extremely passive - the time and space gate, crystal mine and nest. No matter which leaks, it is a situation that Lance will never want to see.

On the other hand, it is a problem in the human world. The goods traded by Lance in the Kingdom of Humanity need to be transported back. So once or twice is fine, but over time, everyone will realize that there is a guy who has purchased a lot of supplies. His convoy disappeared out of thin air between this wilderness. What's going on? Maybe there are still good guys who will search according to the map. If this is followed again, the secrets of the demons of the Gate of Time and Space will be completely exposed.

Speaking of this, Lance also thought of one thing that the merchants who go to the human world have to choose some demons with high similarity to humans and must learn human language. In fact, demons like Fiona are already very reluctant, mainly because her sun hat blocks the horns and a Gothic long skirt covers her tail and hooves, so it is not exposed.

Thinking of this, Lance found that this was another huge project.

But Lance kept telling the matter, and at least it had a good start.

"Tu tu tu tu." At this moment, a brief knock came from the door of the study. Lance didn't need to look at such a kind voice, and he knew who was coming.

"Come in."

With Lance's scream, Layla, a girl in a maid outfit, appeared behind the opened door.

"Mr. Lance," Layla called Lance, then turned to Fiona on the other side of the room and greeted: "Miss Talonia."

"How is that girl?" Lance naturally remembered asking Layla to take care of Yiwen. Seeing that Layla was not bringing water to deliver snacks, he understood and mentioned this matter.

Layla nodded conscientiously: "She is awake." (To be continued...)
