"Prophecy?!"

The voice from above the stairs revealed full of shock. This was the first time Haierbo showed other emotions besides indifference and arrogance.

"That's right."

Tom raised his leg and stepped towards the steps. At the moment when his left foot landed on the first step, countless groups of snakes emerged from the grass on both sides of the steps, filling the stairs densely, making people feel uncomfortable. Scalp tingling, nowhere to go, "I'm a prophet."

["Keep going," Nelson's voice sounded in Tom's ear, "this is Haierbo's usual trick, those dementors are the end of the hesitation at this step."

Tom smiled and stepped heavily on the steps. The poisonous snake beside his feet suddenly burst out, and opened its stinky mouth to bite at his ankle, but Tom ignored it and let the poisonous snake bite on his ankle. The sharp fangs staggered through Tom's skin, and the poisonous snake got into the grass on the other side. If his steps trembled in the previous step, then the venom has spread to the whole body along the blood vessels.

["Very well," Nelson said, sitting across from Pitia, under her worried gaze, "if you have retreated in Sicily, then the fate that awaits you is to be The puppet bound in the body of the corpse, this is also the way Haierbo's huge army 'conscription', he never cares about the awe and loyalty on the surface, because when you really meet him, you will definitely offer awe and loyalty, the soul His fear and approval are the loyalty he needs."

Tom stepped forward, walked up the steps, and quickly approached the terrifying temple on the top of the mountain.

"Boom!"

A thunderstorm exploded above his head, turning everything around him pale, including those poisonous snakes lingering on the steps, like dead bones lying on the road.

Seeing that such a disturbance was no longer enough to shake Tom, the group of snakes retreated, leaving the stone steps clean, as if everything just happened was just an illusion.

Haierbo's voice also sounded again: "Tell me why you came here and why you chose to find me."

"I see that your brilliance will illuminate the entire peninsula, and then radiate to the entire continent, and it will cross the ocean and fly into the sky," Tom's right hand pressed against his chest, feeling the tremor of the gold coins, repeating Nelson's eulogy with added content. "It is a maddened tree that never stops growing. It embraces all its people under the sun. The ocean is only a smooth path for it. There are countless lambs waiting for their monarchs on the continents beyond the ocean. It will Build roads and bridges on the vast continental shelf and ice caps, so that the mysterious country is no longer mysterious, it will make the world use the same ruler, speak the same language, walk the same road, and worship the same god!"

Haierbo was stunned and did not respond for a long time. Obviously, even a person like him who loves being sought after has never felt such bragging. Tom's words even made the dark wizard known for his despicableness start to intoxicate. .

Yes, why can't I be God?

He thought of Tom's rhetorical question in Sicily again, and in Tom's uninterrupted compliments, he watched helplessly as he climbed the stairs and walked into the mouth of Snake Bone.

Nelson on the other side of the gold coin also fell into silence. He knew that Tom was very good at composing words and sentences in this area, but he did not expect to be so good at it. The two wizards who were fighting in the dark were invariably disrupted until Tom Stepping into the temple quickly, he always had a pilgrimage-like expression on his face, and his footsteps changed from heavy to excited, which looked very natural.

What he did not expect was that the temple here is actually the same as the temple of Apollo where Pythia was located.

Tom opened his eyes wide. The long-bright candlelight in the hall made his eyes pale. He had not seen such a dazzling light for a long time. He stared greedily at these cherished light sources, but just as his eyes finally adapted to the strong light. Afterwards, the candles went out in unison, leaving only the same darkness as outside.

["Helpo had spent three full years on some powerful incantation that changed the environment, and this was the beginning of the peninsula's transformation from figurative darkness to literal darkness, according to the descriptions of wizards who fled to the Temple of Apollo.] , Except for some city-states under the protection of powerful wizards, other parts of the peninsula have been caught in a long night, especially at the southern end of the peninsula, south of the Temple of Apollo, plants have stopped growing, since Haierbo is going to rule , it will not rule the scorched earth, and the duration of this magic will not be particularly long, that is to say, it is getting closer and closer to success."

Tom closed his eyes and sank himself into the darkness.

["When I was trying to communicate with the blurred illusion, I found some undissolved memories. His magic power is much stronger than I expected. The frontal confrontation will be extremely difficult, but fortunately his use of magic is still immature," Nelson waved his wand and called out a few thick notes under Pythia's astonished gaze, and said quickly: "You must be careful, I collected some dark cloud analysis on the edge, and its composition is a little lost in fog. The shadow of him, he should have begun to explore death, and this should be the prototype for him to establish the foundation of black magic."

Pitia suddenly looked at Nelson's busy back. She didn't understand why Nelson could find so much information she didn't understand in just one month. Maybe people in the future have three brains? What is the blurred vision he is talking about? Pitia suddenly felt an unbearable tingling from the depths of her head.

"You need to mislead him as much as possible in the direction of his research and development of black magic," Nelson said. "If you can't weaken him, don't make him stronger. I'm already trying to contact those who resist him."

"Keep the call open, Tom, if you have to cut off the communication, you must not cut off the reception of information on my side. Believe me, in this world, no one can crack what I have created," Nelson Shen Sheng said, "He has a kind of superstition and fear of fate, make good use of it, I will send his behavior logic to you in detail after a while, since you have gone, I believe you can gain his trust. ,at last…"

Nelson was silent for a long time, then said in a deep voice, "I wish you good luck, this is... my prophecy!"

A smile appeared on Tom's face, and he said to himself, "Don't you believe in fate?"

A murmur came from the darkness, Tom lowered his head, and a poisonous snake with an apple crawled out from under the column beside him. Bai Sensen's poisonous fangs pierced deeply into the skin of the apple, causing it to age and rot in almost an instant. , the bright red was replaced by wrinkled black in the breath, and the fermented juice flowed from the cracked skin, and the whole temple was filled with the smell of rotten apples and alcohol for a while.

Tom was almost drunk after only one sniff. He held his breath and tried to reduce the breathing rate as much as possible, but his body, which had become hot from thinking, protested, but Tom still persisted until he saw the poisonous snake attacking the snake. The apple, which had been rotten beyond its appearance, drained of juice and turned into a shriveled black garbage, was infused with venom, and in the blink of an eye, it became plump again, as if nothing had happened just now, only the smell of alcohol permeating the temple is proof. What Tom saw was not a hallucination.

His pupils narrowed slightly, and at the junction where the fangs inserted into the pulp, he noticed a flash of green light.

"What else did you see?"

Haierbo's voice came from the belly of the viper, getting closer and closer to Tom as he climbed, "I can tell you what I saw, I saw fear, I saw cowardice, I saw confession, I saw When you come to the miserable appearance of you crying and wanting to beg my forgiveness."

"I do not have."

Tom shook his head calmly, "Fate will not deceive me."

"You are very cunning, young, ambitious, and you have the same look in your eyes as I did when I was young... If you look closely like this, you and I are somewhat similar."

The poisonous snake with the apple in its mouth climbed up Tom's trouser legs, its cold tail flapping on his chest, feeling the calm heartbeat of a cold-blooded animal that Tom was trying to suppress, it ran up Tom's shoulder and circled the ground. Wrapped around Tom's neck, with a little force, it can easily bury him in suffocating despair, but it did not do so, but held its head high, moved its head in front of Tom, and used it. Those algae-like green eyes met him.

The vertical pupils of the viper slowly expanded, turning into two bottomless caves. Tom looked at it calmly, and there was no reflection of each other in the same deep black.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the snake's tail slowly stretched out to Tom's arm, hooking up the gold coin he was holding tightly. When the poisonous snake appeared, the fine parts of the gold coin fell silent for a moment. Tom's connection was also unilaterally cut off by Tom, and he fell into silence, which made him only feel the cold touch of this "lucky coin" and the metal that is the same as ordinary gold coins. The situation that Nelson mentioned not long ago happened quickly.

The viper's lower abdomen was close to Tom's chest, and his heartbeat never changed, until it wrapped the gold coin with its tail and pulled it away from Tom's hand, Tom's still-water-like heartbeat finally stirred a ripple.

"I can't bear to turn someone as interesting as you into a piece of meat," the poisonous snake opened its mandible at a terrifying angle. It was obviously not big, but it was big enough to bite Tom's head in one bite. The constantly corrupted and constantly reborn apple fell from its mouth, fell into the folds of Tom's robe just right, and was pinned to his waist by him, the snake's mouth opened and closed, revealing an expression that was indistinguishable from a real person, "The laurel pattern, you Have you seen my little sun?"

It was obviously a poisonous snake who opened his mouth to speak, but Tom clearly heard the voice coming from behind him. He didn't move, and used the best acting skills in his life to play the role of a confident prophet.

"There is indeed a good sunshine there that you can't see anywhere else."

"Really?" Haierbo's voice surrounded Tom, and the scene in the surrounding temple flickered from time to time, "Do you like her?"

"she?"

"Haha," Haierbo didn't answer the question, he laughed twice, the conversation turned sharply, and the cold wind suddenly wrapped Tom, almost stagnant his thinking, when Tom's body began to fight. , Haierbo's voice suddenly sounded like thunder next to his ears, "If you have seen a priestess, you should know that there can only be one prophet in an era!"

After all, he didn't wait for Tom to react, and said softly with a voice that pierced his soul: "I can give you a chance to admit your deception, I don't care about that."

The viper tightened its body and strangled Tom's neck. Tom had countless opportunities to pull out his wand and shred the viper, but he finally held back. He believed Nelson's prophecy.

"You are not a prophet, but your magic is enough for you to gain glory and power under my swing, young man," Haierbo's voice was full of bewitching, and Tom saw a white hand stretched out in front of his right back. , holding the gold coin engraved with the laurel pattern between his fingertips, Haierbo was standing behind him, "You don't have to pretend to be able to see through fate, we have similar looks, strength and desire, tell me your purpose, Then use it for me."

The viper slackened his body suddenly, and the smell of bad apples poured into Tom's lungs, and his near-blind consciousness quickly regained clarity. In the corner of his eyes, the light of the gold coins became the only light in his darkened vision.

"Lucky gold coin, huh?"

"Are you a prophet?"

Tom stood motionless, and unexpectedly, Haier threw a question.

He obviously saw that the hand that was playing with the gold coins paused, and Haierbo's normal voice came from behind: "I'm not."

"But I am."

Tom didn't seem to have answered anything, but he seemed to have answered everything. Even God would make misjudgments because of things he didn't understand.

Tom could see Haierbo grabbing his lucky gold coin, and there was a beast-like gnashing of teeth behind him.

"Prove it to me!" The demeanor and gentleness are gone, and after the disguise is removed, only **** tyranny remains, "In order not to let you fool me with some prophecies you heard from elsewhere, I want you to tell me when you came. What will happen to the island!"

"If you really think prophets can predict everything, then of course 'elsewhere' can tell me what questions you will ask, and have the answers ready in advance," Tom's mouth lifted into a smile, his face slightly Leaning in the direction of the coin, he felt the rhythm returning to his hands, seemingly in an unknown era, but he and Nelson were fully capable of making Haierbo's unpredictable information gap. Before Haierbo was provoked, he Looking at the gold coin, he said softly, "Soon, a volcano will erupt there."

"Soon after?"

Haierbo didn't seem to grasp the gold coin firmly and let it slip from his hand, but what Tom saw was Nelson's anger. He grabbed the gold coin and felt the familiar tremor in his palm, and said with a smile, "It's now."

"now-"

"Boom!"

The temple and everything outside the temple, the stone steps, the group of snakes, and the fog were all fragmented like a mirror, making a crisp explosion. Behind the explosion, there was a natural rage, Tom opened his eyes, and his vision was red. Filled with light, he rubbed his eyes, turned around, and behind him was a door of light that was slowly dissipating.

The ground beneath his feet trembled violently, and the walls of the ancient castle collapsed like building blocks in the cracks of the sky and the earth. In the cracks in the walls, he saw the angry lava spewing out from the hill behind the ancient castle, and a silver light flashed in the firelight. pass away.

The shouts that came from his ears should not belong to this silent island. Tom quickly came to his senses, and the silence should not belong to this island.

He looked at the fireworks-like volcano in front of him. Floors and bricks fell from the top of his head, but none of them hit him.

Tom opened his palm and artificially turned the gold coin to the front of the laurel.

"Lucky gold coin, huh?"
