Chapter 1125: Prophecy (3)
There was only silence that followed after Solista said this.
This couldn't be blamed on the people that heard what she said.
After all, a prophecy from a god was a shocking thing, it wasn't something that people could easily react to.
This was knowledge that directly came from a god, there was no doubting that.
Not to mention...Solista never mentioned whether this was a good prophecy or a bad prophecy.
There were all kinds of prophecies out there and sometimes a prophecy would be bad since it would be a sign that something bad was coming.
Without knowing what Solista wanted to say, there was no telling what kind of prophecy this was.
When I came back to my senses, I asked in a heavy voice, "What kind of prophecy is it?"
Solista didn't say anything in response to this.
Others might have thought that she was offended by this question, which was how some of the popes looked at me. However, I knew that this wasn't the case since I had experienced something similar before.
It was that she was struggling to say what she wanted to say.
There were a few of the popes that seemed like they wanted to say something, but the popes of the large religions stopped them. At the same time, the pope of the Solista Religion had a few of the people who maintained this chapel go get some parchment.
It seemed that they wanted to record the prophecy that was given to them.
I just continued waiting for her to speak, but it didn't seem like she was going to say anything. That was until all of a sudden, there was a sigh that rang out through this chapel.
This was a very human sigh, as if the one who gave this sigh really couldn't do anything else about what they were sighing about.
In the end, Solista just said in a voice that almost seemed like she gave up, "It'll be a hard prophecy for you to listen to, but I have to give it in the end. You'll be in for some hardships."
I deeply knitted my brows upon hearing this, but I still gave a slow nod.
I knew that she wasn't doing this because she wanted to harm me, the reason she was giving this prophecy was to help.
After all, knowing what was to come was a good thing as well.
Knowing what was to come would allow me to think of ways to deal with it.
"The lands will run black with the invaders. When the time comes, only the one that combines the knowledge of this world and another will be able to save this land."
Silence once again followed after Solista gave this prophecy.
There was not a single person that had a calm look on their faces after hearing this prophecy. After all, it was a declaration that there would be chaos in this world and that there would be invaders. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like this world was about to fall into danger.
As for how they could prevent it...
The knowledge of this world and another?
Who had something like that?
The people of the Holy Empire were confused when they heard this since they had no idea what this part of the prophecy meant.
But in my case, I immediately knew what she was talking about.
That caused a bitter feeling to fill me.
"If you say it like this, isn't that throwing me under the bus?" I really wanted to shout at the statue that had given this prophecy, but I was able to hold myself back in the end.
This wasn't the place to shout at Solista after all.
After another long silence, I gathered myself and wanted to say something.
Only before I could say anything, Solista continued by saying, "Gather the pieces of power from the various gods and repel the strange invader from this world."
The first part of what she said didn't really give any instructions on how to defeat the 'invaders' that she mentioned, so that was why I thought that there was something that was still missing from her prophecy.
As expected, there was a second part.
Only the second part didn't seem to make any sense either.
After all, if we were talking about the relics that were filled with the power of the different gods, most of them would be here. In that case, that meant that all that was necessary was to dip into the resources of the Holy Empire to solve this matter.
But she specified that the relics were scattered all around the world...
"The Staff of Earth." I couldn't help saying to myself in a voice filled with realization.
The Staff of Earth was a relic that was filled with the power of the god of earth, Terra.
This god was the god that was worshipped by the dwarves, which was why his relic had been in the hands of the dwarves.
In that case, was Solista saying that she wanted me to find the relics that the other races were holding and bring them together to face these 'invaders' that were about to come?
The different races...
The only problem that I was currently facing was the elves.
I had gotten close to the dwarves, the giants, and the mermen, but the elves...
There was a grudge between me and the elves that hadn't been solved yet...
"It seems that you've understood the meaning behind my words. In that case, I wish you luck." Solista's voice rang out again.
Once her voice fell, the light around the statue started to fade as if it was about to disappear.
Before anyone could even say anything, the light disappeared without a trace and the statue returned to normal.
All of the popes turned to look at me, but I just looked at the statue with a bitter smile on my
face.
What kind of prophecy was this?
All she did was throw me under the bus...
