Chapter 1971 "Story" <TOC> Chapter 1973 Prophecies Worthy of Attention
Translator: SumTLMan
During yesterday’s meeting, Maya’s prophecy of the vision of doomsday already proved her ability. Moreover, given her status and position, when Maya stood up, no one thought she would speak trivialities.
However, what slightly surprised them was how much of the prophecy Maya had actually seen.
Upon seeing Maya rise, La Pluie ceased allowing the Observers to speak and looked at Maya with a gentle gaze, asking, “Witch Maya, are you prepared to speak?”
Maya nodded, “Yes.”
La Pluie gestured with his wand, signaling that the floor was hers.
After a moment of contemplation, Maya began, “I apologize, what I wish to discuss today isn’t a new prophecy but rather to provide additional clarification about the vision of doomsday I mentioned yesterday.”
As soon as she finished, all attention shifted to Maya, including some self-important Observers who couldn’t help but perk up their ears.
For the higher-ups in the Southern Region’s Wizarding World, the most concerning topic from last night, aside from the Bud and the Peach Heart Theater, was Maya’s mention of the vision of doomsday.
Although La Pluie mentioned that this vision might not occur in the Southern Region, it wasn’t certain. Often, the less one wants a bad possibility to happen, the more likely it seems to veer toward that very possibility.
People were united in their enmity against the Bud; they were reverent yet hopeful about the Peach Heart Theater; but regarding the vision of doomsday Maya mentioned, they were vigilant and fearful.
It can be said, of the three crucial prophecies, the one that caused the most fear was the vision of doomsday.
Now that Maya revisited this prophecy, it naturally stirred curiosity and concern among the people.
Maya let out a deep breath before speaking, “In fact, regarding the vision of doomsday, there was a segment yesterday that I did not reveal. In this segment, a group of figures appeared. Due to certain laws and characteristics, I saw these figures but could not discern their faces. I do not know who these people are, but I felt a sense of familiarity, so I concealed this segment yesterday to verify their identities.”
Maya’s excuse was somewhat clumsy, but no one cared because even Observers tend to withhold some information when discussing future events. Thus, Maya’s concealment was not out of the ordinary. The important thing is, why did Maya suddenly decide to reveal the information she had been hiding?
Does this imply that the figures she saw might influence everyone’s judgment about the vision of doomsday?
Everyone was tense, watching Maya intently, waiting for her to speak.
Maya slowly turned around, her gaze falling on a prophecy wizard sitting not far from her. He was a man on whom time seemed to have misplaced its effects. His face was young, his skin as translucent as a baby’s, yet he had dry, white hair and a pair of ancient, turbid eyes.
His robe was embroidered with clocks of various designs and styles, which alone was enough to reveal his identity.
From the Frost Moon Alliance, a believer in the Wheel of Time, the prophecy wizard, “Pendulum Clock” Lucci.
Lucci seemed to feel Maya’s gaze and slowly looked up. Their old eyes met across the distance, as if bridging a gap in time.
Maya looked deeply at Lucci and said, “Among the figures I saw, one belongs to the Frost Moon Alliance.”
Despite the audience’s rough guess about why Maya was so solemnly looking at Lucci, they were still slightly surprised when she revealed it.
In the vision of doomsday Maya beheld the figures of the Frost Moon Alliance, what did this symbolize?
“Who is it?” Lucci frowned in query.
With a slight raise of her hand, Maya conjured a shadowy figure from the ready nodes of illusion, swiftly materializing it in midair. The figure was initially just humanoid, its features indistinct.
“The first vision I encountered was merely this vague silhouette. However, after thorough investigation and deduction, I’ve ascertained the identity of this person,” Maya waved her hand, revealing the true form of the shadow.
A murmur of surprise filled the hall, as the true identity of the shadow was recognizable to anyone who had been following the recent Novastar Competition.
This youth with black cat ears… wasn’t it “Cold-Eyed Cat” Yehi?
Lucci scrutinized Yehi’s appearance: “This individual has not yet been inducted into the Alliance.”
Yehi hailed from the Winter Academy. The Frost Moon Alliance was a coalition of several wizard organizations, including the Winter Academy.
But as Lucci pointed out, the Frost Moon Alliance, although a collective, was quite aloof, drawing elites from various wizard organizations, now forming a powerful force. Yehi, while from an organization under the Frost Moon Alliance, had not been recruited into the internal ranks, thus not an official member.
Lucci’s implication was straightforward: Yehi’s future appearance in the doomsday scene likely had nothing to do with the Frost Moon Alliance.
However, this was, after all, a future event, and it didn’t eliminate the possibility of Yehi being officially inducted into the Alliance soon.
“Given Yehi’s appearance, could this doomsday scene be a world the Frost Moon Alliance is currently conquering or about to pioneer?” someone speculated.
Lucci listened attentively. If that were the case, he would have to explain to the Alliance’s higher-ups upon his return and carefully review the worlds that were being pioneered and those about to be, to avoid any unforeseen incidents.
However, amidst the various discussions, Maya added, “I don’t know if it’s the otherworldly plane that the Frost Moon Alliance is currently subjugating. But beyond Yehi, there are several other figures. These people are not all from the Frost Moon Alliance.”
Having said this, Maya then revealed the several shadows she had seen.
The shapes of the shadows varied, but among them, only three revealed their true identities: Yehi from Winter Academy, Wintertime Antler from Summer Dew Ridge, and Farja from Silent Hill.
“I only recognize these three individuals; the others are either too vague or their features aren’t distinct. However, if you’re familiar, you might try identifying them.”
No sooner had Maya finished speaking than a bespectacled young man excitedly said, “The sword-wielding woman is Miss Monica from Breezy Valley! I’m certain!”
After some inquiry, it was learned that this young man with glasses was a prophecy apprentice from Night Whisper Forest. He was also a part-time reporter for —City Firefly’s Night Whisper—, having even done interviews at the Novastar Competition.
He not only recognized Monica at a glance but also identified several others, including the broad-shouldered man named Kailu, the porcelain doll-like Ciela in a poofy dress, and Romed with a round shield…
At first, everyone was puzzled as to why these individuals from different wizard organizations were appearing in an apocalyptic scene.
But as the young man with glasses identified more and more people, their mood became increasingly bizarre.
Although these individuals were from different wizard organizations, they had two things in common: First, they were all apprentices; second, they were all participants in the Novastar Competition, those so-called supernovas!
“These people are all apprentices from the Southern Region. Could it be that the apocalypse is truly happening there?”
“However, why are they all Novastar Competition participants? Could this matter also be related to Sky Mechanical City?” someone whispered.
Although others did not respond, this speculation has become a consensus.
Everyone turned their gaze toward Apulia——this prophecy wizard residing in Sky Mechanical City, trying to get some answers from him.
However, Apulia seemed even more confused than they were, clearly unaware of the mysteries within.
“After the meeting ends, I will contact City Lord Rosen to inquire about this matter. I will inform you all of this specific situation during tomorrow’s meeting,” Apulia said sincerely, gaining everyone’s approval.
After all, this matter involved multiple wizard organizations. Sky Mechanical City had a history of luring and killing numerous apprentices in its Purification Garden, and from the shadows, it seemed these apprentices were in poor condition. Regardless of their involvement, Sky Mechanical City needed to make a statement.
After adding her prophecy, Maya sat down.
Maya hadn’t expected everyone to turn their attention to Sky Mechanical City so quickly. However, this was fine by her. Although she had learned some insider information from Angel, she still wanted to hear how Sky Mechanical City would respond to this matter.
