064 The Source of Destruction Crisis
"You mean I grew up one night last night and changed back in the morning?" Enid's little mouth opened into an O-shaped shape and looked at Deren in great shock.
But her focus seemed to be off topic. After a wow, she blinked and asked, "Tell me quickly, what do I look like when I grew up? Are you pretty? Are you still very small?"
"Uh..." Daren looked strange and gestured casually on his head, "It's about that tall... a girl who looks like seventeen or eighteen years old, with blonde hair, um... it should be the type that most people think is very beautiful... But isn't this the point? The point is that you don't know me at all, and you look like you are not interested in anything, and you are actually planning to find the Endless Lake by yourself! More importantly, you predicted the destruction disaster of the village in a month..."
"Can you actually predict?" The little girl with flax hair was stunned for a moment, "Can you predict accurately in the fog?... Is it because she grew up, her power is stronger than me now, or because she used the 'skill star'..."
But no matter what, the disaster prophecy quickly made the conversation between the two people heavy.
Discussed for a while.
Delen and Enid were actually a little confused about this prophecy.
Although the small village of Dor is remote, there is no powerful danger nearby. There is only a "Dark Valley", a gathering place for low-level monsters. The attack of heartless monsters every once in a while is the only potential threat to the village...
But just over a dozen days ago, the adventurers stationed in the village had just formed a team to sweep the Dark Valley! After Lord Eddie came back, he swore that not only were the three mutant demons dead, but even the low-level heartless monsters in the valley were almost wiped out by them. I'm afraid that in the next year and a half, there would be no monster waves like the previous scale in the Dark Valley.
So where will the so-called disaster come from a month later?
"What to do, what to do..."
Daren paced around the room.
The danger of not knowing the source is the most dangerous... If you don’t know the source, you will have no way to prevent it, and you will not be able to prove the existence of a potential crisis to other people in the village!
I can't everyone live well and Daren ran directly to force everyone to escape from the village?
No one will believe it if you speak empty words.
More importantly, it is now impossible to prove Enid's prophecy to others... In the past, for the most basic protection reasons, Delen and Diana had never promoted Enid's "special skills" to outsiders, so no one in the village knew about the inconspicuous adopted little girl. But now, Enid's own prophecy ability has failed! And the skill star that "enhances prophecy" will not be able to be restored to use.
Despite this, Daren still ran to the village chief Grandpa Nord's house with a try-out attitude.
Early in the morning, Old Nord, who had lost his eyebrows with a crutch, was pulled and shouted by the brunette boy who was "pranking" but he still showed a patient and kind side. He first asked Diana about her physical condition, and gave Daren a few sweet apples that had lost moisture, and finally let him go home obediently. As for the "disaster" that the boy kept emphasizing, Old Nord always smiled without saying a word.
Daren had no choice but to find Uncle Antonio, the leader of the Self-Defense Corps, and several more influential adults in the village, such as the blacksmith Grandpa Hans!
Of course, it is even more impossible for Daren to let go of the three adventurers stationed in the village, the intermediate archer Eddie, the intermediate warrior Gavin, and the junior priest William...
But the ending was not unexpected - no one believed him at all.
The old pastor William, who is already the best-tempered of the three adventurers, said a few words to Delan in a serious manner.
In his steeplet house.
"Child, do you say prophecy?" William shook his head and laughed, "You probably don't know what 'prophecy' means... In the Holy See of Light, there is indeed such a pastoral skill for people to learn, but it is an advanced skill that only very powerful clergy can master. Even my qualifications to learn it are still far from being able to learn it..."
"It is said that there is a 'Great Prophecy' that is stronger than prophecy, and the requirements are higher. Only the level of the Bishop of the Great City or even the Pope can master it..."
"It is a good thing for young people to have rich imagination, but it is wrong to lie. Tell me, where did you see the record of 'prophecy'?... Oh, I understand, it was a book borrowed by the little girl Enid, right?"
———————
No one really believes it.
The "village-killing disaster" mentioned by a sixteen-year-old boy seems to have no other possibility except for a prank!
Diana is the only exception...
When the brunette boy walked back around the village for a long time, he saw the white-haired woman being packed with Enid, and almost dropped her chin.
"Mother, what are you doing..." Daren was surprised.
"Others don't believe you, but I believe it." The white-haired woman groped and tied a large bag of clothes and muttered, "I have experienced more strange things in my life than you two little guys imagined. The world is like this, and nowhere is absolutely safe. Many times, when danger comes, some people still sleep well, and I believe it's okay to be cautious. If it weren't for this, Herbert and I wouldn't have lived back to his hometown to settle down, and we wouldn't have given birth to you."
"Besides, I know the prophecy of Enid. I will try my best to help and persuade the neighbors in the past few days... But if everyone really doesn't believe it, then I will take you out of this village with you. I am not a person here, and for me, you two are the most important..."
Daren was deeply stunned.
If everyone doesn't believe it, will we just leave...
—————
In the evening, a news came, which relieved Daren's troubles a lot.
The horn of the self-defense group assembled and the bells called by the villagers rang out in no particular order. When Daren rushed to the square where the Statue of Light was located, many people were already there.
Village Chief Nord announced a news with a serious expression.
"Everyone, I received bad news from the villages in the upper reaches of the Red Onyx."
Old Nord unfolded a piece of paper rolled into thin strips with his hands, cleared his throat and read loudly: "Last night, there was a strange phenomenon. There were severe tides in the Gasili Sea in the east. Many harbor fishing villages have been destroyed. They claimed that they had never seen such a violent tide in their lives... Due to the terrain, the sea water flowed back into the Garnia River and it was difficult to retreat for a long time. The tide also poured into various tributaries, including the Red Onyx River... It has affected us at noon today!"
Hearing this, the villagers looked at each other. They had limited knowledge and were unable to digest the meaning behind the news.
"This is a bird's letter from the upper reaches of the Kalo village." The village elder Nord shook the note and explained in time, "Karlo village is located at the junction of the Red Onyx River and the Garnia River, which is the starting point of the Red Onyx River! The tide affects them, which means it is not far from us."
The villagers suddenly realized.
"But the tide is not the most terrifying." Old Nord frowned, "This piece of paper was sent out an hour ago. It said that the noon river tide actually had little impact on the village of Carlo, but the monsters that followed were the most terrifying... They said that from the afternoon, a large number of strange monsters suddenly appeared in the water, and launched a crazy attack on the village of Carlo. They had never seen these varieties before, so they suspected that it was brought by the backflow of sea water, and they were monsters living in the sea!"
"The monster of the Gasili Sea?" Everyone took a breath after hearing this.
"The people in Kalo Village are fighting to the death, but the situation is not optimistic... The monsters in the water seem to be endless. They sent this message to us for help." Old Nord continued, "Everyone, I hope everyone understands a truth. There is only a weak Krum village between us and Kalo Village. Once the first two villages cannot stop the monsters in the water, we will be the one who will suffer next!"
"So, I am here to send a request, please pay attention to this matter and not be stingy with the assistance to the upstream villages! I suggest that our self-defense teams should gather immediately and head upstream along the Red Onyx River to help the first two villages block the monsters!"
"This..." the villagers were in an uproar.
