The prophet's room was quite messy, with manuscript paper replacing the carpet and the tablecloth stained with ink. A stack of heavy old-colored classics is piled under the chair, with bookmarks and notes like ham in toast. In the corner there is a dirty cupboard, four raw-edged wooden boxes, a pair of giant protractors, a small pile of fist-sized hollow jack-o-lanterns, two pairs of silver candlesticks in the elf luxury style, a glove trash can, a non-portable toolbox and a molding rack. Strange telescope. They are arranged in sequence, gradually approaching the desk and chair. The stationary pocket watch knocked over the pen holder, and the thumb-thick scroll inside fell off the table and fell right into the open lid of the tool box.
"Not an unfamiliar sight, huh?" The prophet kicked away the obstructive hem of his robe and instructed Uriel to sit on a wooden box. He moved his fingers, and the scrolls scattered on the floor flew back into the pen holder.
The apprentice followed the instructions uneasily, still in the trepidation of having his dreams shared in the future.
To the mysterious creature, the Saint is a great figure who is more noble than the Sky Realm. No matter how close he is, there will inevitably be a sense of distance. Sauron said that astrologers can get a glimpse of a person's past and future based on his name, provided that he has an absolute advantage in mystery. Uriel was not able to hide his name like Joey. He only met Witek and figured out his fire abnormality after entering the tower. By this time, it was too late. Can the saint see my future? Does he know where I come from and what I will become in the future?
"Prophetic dreams are rare large-scale prophecies." But no matter what the tower prophet knew, he did not say it. "It is rare that a man receives revelation in a dream, unless his soul is endowed with extraordinary gifts."
Is it talent? Or the characteristics of a demon? "I would like to hear the details, Lord Prophet."
"How much do you know about the gods in the other world?"
"I have heard the names of many gods, but it is difficult to say I understand them." Uriel replied. The prophet knows the world of Knox and Table. He felt his heart beating faster, even though he had expected it.
"Except Gaia?"
"I also don't think the Gaia I know is the Gaia here."
There was silence. "You are wise, Uriel."
Uriel knew that he should respond to the Sage's comments, but it was difficult to find a suitable breakthrough point. He does not have the upper hand in communication. Generally speaking, this has no impact, but it is about life, and not only his own life... The performance of the prophet in the dream is obviously insufficient, so he keeps his mouth shut, lest he reveal the secret.
"Don't be nervous, young man, I won't lose my temper with you. Since you are not afraid of your mentor, why are you so afraid of me? I consider myself much friendlier than him." Lord Saint smiled again, "You come from a A world similar to Knox, is this a secret you are worried about leaking? Knox also has many mysterious places, which are located outside the barrier and in another dimension. Your occult foundation is not very solid."
"I...didn't keep this as a secret." It's just that few people believed me. "The surface world is different from the Sunken Plane Gavash and the Glittering Pool. It is too close to Nox, but there is no mysterious existence...even I can't figure it out."
"It is true that few people understand the surface world." The prophet agreed, "because the two have no contact with each other. Almost all its features have been handed down to this day through the records of the ancestors, and no one has explored or paid attention to it. The mystery belongs to the Knox people. In part, losing the mysterious world of the surface is simply a fool's fantasy. Have you ever thought, Uriel, think about it for a moment - the world of the surface is just a dream of yours? Tell me, I want to hear your opinion."
"Do you expect me to answer truthfully, my lord?" Uriel said. "Will you believe me?"
"You are the Knight of Proverbs, and I believe you will never lie at this time." The prophet told him the reason, "Yes, Uriel, I hope you tell the truth, and I am ready."
"The world is not a dream."
"Are you so sure?"
"Because it is not unrelated to Knox. There is a train that connects the two worlds, and I...I took it to Knox."
The prophet sat back in his rocking chair. "That's the Cloud Train."
"There was a ticket inspector on the train, that's what she called herself. Her name was Debra. I still remember... I was at the station in Yotsuba City, and it was snowing outside. There was a newspaper... that mentioned the Frost Moon and Snow disaster, and tunnels in the Morris Mountains. No bus came for a long time... The clock stood still at midnight... In the end, I waited for a train, a phantom silver train. It was indeed like a dream, but my memory did not It’s more than that.”
"It's actually easy to distinguish between dreams and reality." The Lord Saint nodded, "But I have to tell you one thing, Uriel. Although no one has boarded that train except you, we don't Even if you understand it... But this is an undoubted fact. You are the Knight of Proverbs, Uriel, and you can judge for yourself whether what I tell is the truth or a lie."
"Croita recorded the two appearances of the Cloud Train. Of course I believe you." To be honest, after the visionary dream was revealed, Uriel felt that the attitude of the tower prophet made him a bit flattered.
"The speculation that your past is a dream is not unfounded. According to records, witnesses of the Floating Cloud Train all experienced varying degrees of hallucinations. It first appeared thousands of years ago, and no one recognized it as a train at that time—— This is the latest research result of alchemy - astrologers believe that it is a special mysterious phenomenon. The mysterious phenomenon does not need objective laws to rely on, it is an abnormal display."
Uriel tightened his grip on the parchment. "Hallucination?"
"The first eyewitness claimed he saw his son behind the train's glass. But he was a slave and never married or had an illegitimate child - a mortal life is easy to follow. Astrologers examined No mysterious traces of his fire or destiny have been discovered,” said the Prophet.
"The second and third witnesses were an old aristocratic gentleman and his young wife. Something strange happened to him: he summoned family members to hold a meaningless banquet the next day, and then invited himself in a young manner His granddaughter went horse racing in the countryside - oh, he ended up falling off the horse and died. This could have been his own madness, and the mysterious object could also explain his restored youth. But his wife showed great panic and died after the old gentleman Later, she confessed to the priest that she had poisoned and murdered her husband a week ago. After the church’s magical appraisal, she told the truth.”
Uriel swallowed. "Is he an undead?"
"That's not the case. We sent people to search and obtained two corpses: one was the corpse of an old gentleman who was poisoned to death, and the other was the corpse of a young gentleman whose neck was broken. Through magic, we confirmed that these two corpses were in Life is basically a person's state at different times."
"That young gentleman traveled through time and space with the help of a train?" He could only think of this guess.
"Even so, he was already old when he came to this time period. Because the old gentleman had passed away seven days before he witnessed the floating cloud train. The resurrection of the body from the dead may be due to undead magic. The key lies in the sudden action of the old gentleman. Unreasonable. The person who saw the floating cloud train was a young gentleman who traveled through time and space - if your guess is correct, it should be the second time he saw the floating cloud train. But there is no doubt that the train only appeared once. Even if our ancestors did not have the habit of recording the appearance of trains, they would never ignore the shaking of the line of law that would inevitably accompany the appearance of mysterious phenomena."
"But those two corpses——"
"The story takes a turn here." The prophet raised his voice slightly. The saint in the tower seemed to be very interested in this mysterious narrative method. No wonder he would give special treatment to the detective who revealed the truth. "One is the corpse of a real gentleman, and the other is a phantom created by his wife using magic to replace him. In other words, there was only one witness at the time. She murdered her husband, and then became mad after accidentally witnessing the floating cloud train. Crazy, completely forgetting that her current husband was a substitute of her own creation. Then, her mystery began to get out of hand."
"Unbelievable." Having said that, Uriel had seen magic malfunction due to trains. At that time, the runes of Sauron's Ring triggered an incomplete mystery, causing Joey's invisibility to be realized only on his head. The scene was horrifying.
"In short, every appearance of the Cloud Train is accompanied by the insanity of several people." The prophet concluded, "So I hope you can look at your memory objectively and not refuse to accept the facts." He suddenly coughed. "Like this story? I've been wanting to change the way the database records it so it's more engaging."
"There is also a difference between stories and reality." Uriel replied, "I think my past really existed, Lord Sage. The records of the ancient world by the ancestors confirm my statement."
"You have a strong will, Uriel. But you also have unusual talents, which sometimes confuse things. Ion, the god of dreams, is Otto's messenger. He gives a few people the ability to contact their destiny in their dreams. I Both Larson and Larsen are this kind of people, and so are you." But the saint seemed to be on his side again, "The astrologer found no trace of your past life in Four Leaf City, and was trying to distinguish the difference between dreams and reality. Yes, you also have extraordinary talents."
Is this Joey's explanation? Uriel thought to himself. Now he no longer needs to worry about whether "Spirit Vision" is Ain's talent or a gift from the devil. "I do see the future in my dreams," he admitted.
"Then why did you give up astrology?" The prophet suddenly changed the subject.
