Chapter 1249 Eyes of Light

What a diamond this is!

Not only is it big, it can even focus light!

The high priest gently placed the diamond on the table and spoke slowly, "It's called the Eye of Light. It was given to me by Queen Ophelia. It is one of the ten weapons with divine power."

Damn it, no wonder the appearance effect is so amazing, co-authoring is one of the top ten artifacts!

I couldn't wait to ask: "Does it have any special abilities?"

"It can sense the past and predict the future."

So awesome!

Before the high priest finished speaking, I picked up the Eye of Light and looked left and right. Except that it felt a bit heavy, there was nothing strange about it.

"Uh, is it the way I'm holding it that's wrong?"

"No," the high priest said with a smile, "it's because you don't understand it, so it doesn't recognize you."

After that, take the Eye of Light.

The moment her hand touched the Eye of Light, countless phantoms appeared from the surface of the diamond and flashed past at the same time. The speed was so fast that even I could only see a phantom.

"That was just now."

"That is the past, something that once happened in this Zephyr Continent." The high priest gently stroked the eyes of light and said, "It is also the history of this Zephyr Continent that can never be erased."

I stared at the Eye of Light for a long time, and had no other feeling except that it was a very valuable diamond.

"Is it possible for me to gain its trust?"

The high priest smiled and shook his head: "Impossible, all you care about is its price, but not the item itself."

"Hehe" I scratched my head quite embarrassedly.

The High Priest continued to caress the Eye of Light, like an owner caressing a beloved kitten.

Holding my chin, I stared at the Eye of Light for a while and said, "You said you can see the past and future from it?"

"Yes" said the high priest.

"Are you referring to the entire Zephyr Continent?"

"Yes," the high priest said again.

"Is it true that from the beginning of the formation of Zephyr Continent until the demise of Zephyr Continent, you can see this past and future?"

"No." The high priest shook his head: "The past I can see is from the time it was created to the present. As for the future, I can only see the near future."

"Can you tell me what you see the near future looking like?"

"War and death," the high priest said calmly.

However, the moment I heard her calm words, I couldn't calm down anymore.

War and death are the two most cruel and terrible things in the world.

Although I had been preparing for both of these events, I was still stunned and speechless when I heard that they would actually happen.

"Will a lot of people die?"

I spoke with a calm expression and a trembling voice.

"In war, people will definitely die," the high priest said slowly, "If people don't die, how can the deterrence of war be demonstrated?"

After a moment of silence, I asked, "Did Carter Scott cause the war?"

"You can't stop it." The high priest shook his head and said, "Even if Carter Scott is assassinated by you, the war will still be ignited, and the war will still spread across every land."

"Why is this happening?" I asked puzzled.

"Because war can never be started by one person," the high priest said calmly.

Then, she stretched out her hand, caressed my shiny head, and said: "Greed, rage, desire, and rights are precisely because of these, there are endless disputes, fighting, and fighting among humans. However, children, these are not It is innate to human beings and cannot be given up, so war will only stop and will not disappear, regardless of the current situation or the blueprint you have planned."

"You know my plan"

The high priest smiled and said, "Of course I know."

"You don't object?"

"Why should I object?"

"My plan is closely related to this war, and maybe future wars will be initiated because of the implementation of my plan!"

"I know." The high priest was still smiling, her voice was gentle and her tone was calm: "I just said that the war will not disappear, it will only stop. If your plan can make the war stop for a longer time, , why should I object?”

"But... a lot of people will die like this!" I blurted out, excitedly: "Many families will be destroyed because of this, many races will die out because of this, and..."

The high priest raised his hand and waved it gently: "In the original Zephyr Continent, fairies were not the only race that appeared first, nor were they the strongest among the first races. In that period of chaos, Over time, the goblin tribe has been carefully avoiding those powerful races and looking for land where they can live and reproduce. In the process of continuous migration, they have learned how to live in a harsh environment. Because of this, they have been lucky enough to avoid They avoided the tragic wars launched by other races due to greed, and also avoided the subsequent tragedy of monsters massacring various races in the Zephyr Continent. In the end, they became the only ancient race remaining in the Zephyr Continent, and were granted by the God of Creation with divine power. Weapons, the expansion of territory, finally stabilized the current Zephyr Continent. If you ask any scholar in the academy or the professor in the adventurer base, 'Who is the oldest race in the Zephyr Continent?' they will undoubtedly answer. They are fairies, but is this really the case?”

The warmth of her palm made my shiny head feel very comfortable. I squinted my eyes like a kitten: "Of course that's not true. Didn't you just say that the fairies were not the only race that appeared first?"

"So, are those scholars and professors wrong?" the high priest asked again.

I thought for a while: "No, they just stated what they know so far."

"This is the key," the high priest said: "In the thousands of years of history of Zefeng Continent, countless new races have appeared, and at the same time, countless old races have been replaced. These old races are either related to New races move in synchrony, or they become dust and are completely eliminated. These races that disappear without a trace may be remembered by people for a period of time, but they will eventually be buried in the dust of history. This is this world."

I fell silent and fell into deep thought.

As the high priest said, in the process of history, countless races have disappeared without a trace. Some may leave traces and history, and some may even have no trace of their existence.

Let’s not talk about other things, just talk about Boss Ren’s family, which has been oppressed by the Carter family. Once, his ancestors were heroes like the legendary heroes, but now, who will remember that his ancestors were Airei City and Zephyr? What is the contribution made by the mainland?

No, no one will remember it, except himself, and except me, a later insider.

If it weren't for me, maybe Boss Lane would still be huddled at the intersection of the civilian streets and slums of Airey City, continuing to be his casino owner, and continuing to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the Carter family.
