Chapter 35: The Unchanging Prophecy (1)
The darkness had covered the stone formation for days and nights, and even Crodis became drowsy due to the deepening darkness.
Most people were afraid of the stars in the sky, crawling on the ground and worshiping them at the top and bottom; a few were curious and exploring with passion; only a small group of people could illuminate part of the endless darkness, and when they were old, they would write what they had learned throughout their lives and leave it to their future generations. And Crodis, he had observed hundreds of thousands of suns and moons of the sky and stars. The passionateness he was young, the confidence he was old and the expectation for future generations had been exhausted in his immortal life. Looking at the infinite darkness that was still boundless, he had begun to feel exhausted.
He had already vaguely realized that although he had infinite life, he could not complete this infinite dark exploration. Compared with the infinite of the sky, the infinity of human beings was still too small.
"It's too dark." His old voice murmured to himself in the darkness, "Can you give me some light?"
No one answered, the little disciple who had been left by his side had been gaga, and I don't know where he had gone these days. He coughed and lit a candle. Although the candle did not have much lighting effect in his magic, the jumping fire seemed to him like an active elf, adding a bit of life to the boundless stars.
It has been a while since Ella arrived here. This small village at a very high place maintained a peaceful and peaceful state beyond Crodis's expectations. He was mentally prepared to fight against the attack of the plural apostles. However, the Tianfang Empire seemed to have not reacted to this so far.
"Has my measures taken effect? Or..."
A sudden loud noise came, and the formation seemed to collapse and the ground was broken. Crodis suddenly woke up from his drowsiness. The cuffs of his robe shook slightly, causing a rippling ripples around the darkness.
Another loud bang came, with a huge momentum. Crodis couldn't help but close his eyes to feel the traces of magic. In the stone formation, there were dozens of magic powers of elves to the level of great elves, which were subdued by Crodis and entered into the copper pot. Outside the stone formation, there were two, one standing on the edge of the cliff, and the other floating high above the entire village; the Gaga magic power was also on the edge of the cliff, adjacent to one of the magic objects; Dust's magic power was very weak, hiding more than ten meters below the village like a mouse, and I don't know how he got in; he couldn't find Ella, which was normal, even Gregori, who was best at sensing magic power among the apostles, could not find Ella; in addition, there was no other fluctuation of magic power in the village.
"What the hell happened? Without the intruders, where did there be such a loud noise?"
The doubt in his heart made him decide to step out of the stone formation to take a look. This was the first time he stepped out of the stone formation in a few months. He saw that the night was still dark outside the stone formation, and the air was a little wet, mixed with a breath of soil after the rain. The thick dark clouds that were darker than the night covered the sky, leaving the sun, moon and stars without a shadow.
He saw that the sun-shaped Parr was summoned out and was now floating in the air. Its mouth was wide open, and the light from its mouth swept back and forth in the village like a searchlight, like a large candlestick. He also saw that Kaim, with the head of a thrush, was standing high on the top of the mountain, rubbing a huge rock into a ball like rubbing a ball.
This is nothing. He rubbed his eyes several times, fearing that he had not woken up yet. He saw that the village he had worked hard to manage had been demolished at some point. Several slopes made of soil stood up in the rubble of the house and led straight to the top of the mountain. The center of these slopes was sunken downwards, and the surface was covered with smooth rocks. After the rain, these slopes were even more slippery and unable to leave.
"Pal, push the light toward this side!" Ella's voice came from the top of the mountain, "A little brighter, are you not eating?"
Along with Ella's voice, there was a rattle of spells. But Pal turned around tiredly and shook the light to the place where the sound came.
"The sixth test begins!" Ella shouted at the top of the mountain, "Kaim, have the stones been kneaded? After kneading, throw them down! It's hard and the ground is about to dry! I'm counting down, 10...9...8..."
The rattled spell sounded, a severe forced spell. When Ella counted to "1", Kaim whined and gently placed the big rock kneaded in his hand on one of the slopes. When he loosened his hand, the huge rock that was larger than Ella's body rolled down the slope.
There was a temporary earthen wall in the middle of the slope, which seemed to be to stop the rolling of the stones. But the huge rock rolled down from the top of the mountain, and even the entire village could not stop it, let alone a small earthen wall. It was broken through by the huge rock without even slowing down. Then the huge rock rolled down the slope, and after collapsing several houses, it "boomed" and hit the hillside on the other side, making a loud earthquake-like sound.
"The sixth data record is completed!" Ella's voice sounded again, "Kaim, don't be lazy there, build another earthen wall, just like before, the location is below the earthen wall just now!"
The gaga spell rang again, a forced spell that was more severe than before. Kaim wailed and rushed down the slope, building a new earthen wall as Ella asked.
Crodis's beard flew up in anger. It's been hundreds of years, and he has never been as angry as he is today.
"Gaga! Why did you demolish my village? And you... If you don't observe the astronomical phenomena carefully, what tricks are you doing here?"
He climbed to the top of the mountain and was ready to scold these two people. Other children did not knock on the top of the tiles for three days, but these two people demolished the house, and there were more than one building!
But unexpectedly, before he could train anyone, Ella's scolding came first: "That master, be careful! Don't kick the water cup under your feet over. This is important experimental data!"
When Crodis looked down upon hearing this, he found that there were indeed five water cups under his feet, containing water of different sizes. Ella was standing next to a strange, leaking instrument. There was also an identical instrument on the instrument, constantly filling water into the instrument below to ensure that the instrument below was always full of water. Ella held the sixth cup of water filled from the bottom of the instrument in his hand, walked over and put it next to other water cups under Crodis's feet, and marked the word "6".
"That's the master, do you have a scale here?"
"Yes... no, what are you doing?"
"Celestial bodies are moving. If there is a misunderstanding of movement, we cannot correctly recognize the celestial bodies." Ella replied while fiddling with the water cup, "So I have to figure out what exactly is about movement."
"What does this have to do with the water you are holding?"
