665 Tell us now

"Shh!!!!"

Brother Lao Jie blushed and excitedly told everyone to be careful. The sound in the tavern was indeed weaker, but the atmosphere was obviously much more tense.

Old Jack and his companions took a few sips of wine to suppress their shock, and many people in the tavern also acted the same way.

The tavern owner insisted on adding some wine to Old Jack.

Old Jack lowered his head and reached out to wipe the sweat from the tension. In the eyes of others, this was naturally a manifestation of fear.

"Now the upper level of the Kingdom has blocked the news. I don't know what the situation is, but I guess it is still deteriorating."

Old Jack and his companions looked at each other for a while, hesitated for a while and continued to speak.

"We are fur merchants, and doing business with the West Grassland is a dangerous job, so there is also a small circle in private. We ran with the boss of a large business group."

"Actually, before the invasion of the wild orcs, the big businessman was worried and said that something big would definitely happen!"

Now, everyone in the tavern became curious, and many people even moved their stools and chairs to get themselves closer to the bar.

“The barbecue and bread are here!”

The helper in the back hall brought the food ordered by Old Jack and his companions. The tavern owner personally took it to the bar and placed two sour fruits on the side.

"You can try crushing sour fruit and drizzling sour juice. The barbecue tastes better."

"Thanks!"

Old Jack forked the barbecue with a plate fork and took a big bite. While chewing, he looked around at the tavern, and no one disturbed them for dinner.

The old Jack, who swallowed the meat he had chewed for a long time, took this opportunity to brew the Chinese language in his heart, spoke again.

"Do you know that before the invasion of wild orcs, there were stars falling from the sky?"

After asking this, some people in the tavern were confused, some people asked others, and some people suddenly slapped their heads.

"Yes!! A friend of mine saw it. He came from the border city in the west and told me that many people saw the shooting stars!"

"I remembered that, a friend of mine also mentioned this to me!!"

"Really?"

"Meteor, I thought it was only found in legend..."

"Can the stars fall down too... are they not the children of gods? Shouldn't they be eternal?"

There was a lot of discussion about the falling stars in the tavern.

During this period, Old Jack and his companions ate differently to fill their stomachs. They were really hungry, and after they finished speaking, they had to slip away soon.

Now Old Jack is in a state, he swallows a bite of meat and knocks on the bar with a cup.

The "bang bang" sound made the discussion in the tavern quiet again.

"It is true that the stars fall, because my companions and I both saw it!"

"Yes, we've all seen it."

The companion also echoed. He wiped the sweat on his face and the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes and recalled for a while, and then continued to speak.

"That night, many of our merchants formed a large merchant group and followed the big merchant who often went out of the grassland together to camp outside the kingdom. Most of us saw it with our own eyes when the stars fell."

"It was so beautiful, with stars shining in front of us, and the long tail made of light was dragged behind us and disappeared from the horizon."

Old Jack was drinking, and when he heard this, he smashed the wine glass hard on the bar, making a "bang", which scared everyone.

"He was right, but since that night, the big businessman who led the team has been uneasy and is chanting some prophecy. Do you know that it is just that feeling of being dizzy and being confused, and even woke up from nightmares several times in the night!"

Old Jack was obviously in lingering fear. Just as he was about to wipe his face, the boss handed over a clean wet towel.

"Use this to make it more comfortable!"

"Thanks!"

Old Jack was not polite, so he took it and wiped it. The towel was stained with oil stains and sweat on his face.

"Do you know that the businessman is so wise and calm. In 5 years, he has increased his wealth by 10 times, ten times!! This is not as simple as a golden peso to 10... You absolutely can't imagine how much money he has..."

"It's such a person..."

Old Jack paused here before continuing.

"In a few days, he lost a lot of weight... His anxiety also caused the whole team's anxiety. We began to ask him frequently what happened..."

Old Jack drank the wine in his glass again, but this time he put the wine glass upside down on the bar, no longer letting the enthusiastic tavern owner add wine.

"Thank you, thank you really, but we have to rush tonight and can't drink any more..."

Old Jack wiped his face with a towel.

"After we asked repeatedly, that big merchant finally spoke. It was a terrible prophecy. Do you know what prophecy is? This is a legendary magical wizard or sage who have the ability to predict the future. When peeking into the future, it is the result of the words to warn future generations. This is a prophecy."

"His original words are like this: Our family has known a prophecy since ancient times, which is a memory engraved in our bloodlines. For hundreds of years, a total of 6 stars have fallen, and every time we are terrified... The prophecy tells me that one day, the dark power of terror and decay will invade the world from the west, and civilization will be destroyed. First, war, killing, death and decay, the scale will exceed the imagination of all living beings, and it is the prelude to the demise of the world... Before all terror begins, there will be stars trying to prevent the successful arrival of the doomsday. The stars representing the dawn will fall from the sky. It holds the power to guide the dawn, find the savior in its destiny, and resurrect it again after witnessing its death."

Old Jack's voice was low, as if he was repeating the prophecy he had heard of Gurion.

"The great merchant did not tell us what the final result of the prophecy was. We don't know who the savior was, nor do we know whether he could successfully save the world, but the fall of the stars and the invasion of the wild orcs afterwards were like prophecy."

"We also ran away together before the invasion of the wild orcs after they smelled something wrong. The other merchants who were still stranded on the grassland were probably dead long ago..."

No one spoke in the tavern because he didn't know how to discuss this matter. He thought it was too expansive, but he couldn't help but feel cold on his spine.

"It sounds like an exaggeration, right? Even if the wild orcs invade in large numbers, it is just a disaster for the kingdom. Is there still a gap between them and prophecy?"

Old Jack continued to talk to himself.

"I thought so before, but we saw those terrible mutant wild orcs with our own eyes, and saw that the wild orcs could actually enslave and drive monsters... And... This time the wild orcs were invaded by giants, and the terrible force may be hundreds of thousands. Not to mention the army gathered in the west, it is us..."

Old Jack paused for a moment and looked at the owner of the tavern with a nervous look on his face.

"Boss, the wine here is good and shouldn't disappear... Let me tell you the truth, believe it or not... hurry up and pack up the valuable things and run east of the kingdom. This city is not safe. Once the orcs break through the front line, they can't escape when they reach this point. There are really too few refugees who can escape from the fallen city."

Although it was a bit ridiculous, the tavern owner subconsciously asked.

"Where is the safe place to escape?"

"Rusbela, the big merchant said that Rusbela's two rivers meet, connecting the kingdom's east and west, and also blocking the kingdom's east and west. It is a natural danger. After the defeat in the front, only there can be blocking the wild orcs with natural danger."

Old Jack and his companions said here, put the last bite of meat from the plate into their mouths and chewed it out of their arms.

"Boss, this is wine and vegetable money."

"No, no, I'm going to treat this, I'm going to treat it!!"

"Then thank you..."

Old Jack shook for a moment and stood up from his seat with his companions.

"I said too much tonight, and we must leave. We dare not stay here for a long time. We will escape east of Rusbela to be at ease. Then we will find the big merchant, who said he has returned to the family to rectify everything, restrained all the wealth that the family has prepared for for hundreds of years, and prepared to do his best to help him when the Savior appears."

"Remember what I said, don't disclose the news about tonight casually. Unless it is someone you are very close to and willing to believe, you may be arrested by the Kingdom for bewitching. In addition, the road to escape is not wide. If there are too many people who know, you may not be able to escape yourself..."

Old Jack and his companions left this sentence, then pushed open the tavern door and left. Several drinkers wanted to follow them, but found that they had disappeared into the night after leaving the door, so they had to come back in disappointment.

No one spoke loudly in the tavern for a long time, but he was drinking worriedly.

"Bang……"

The sound of the door being pushed open scared everyone, and then they found that two fat men came in, and they were regular customers here.

"My God, there was no sound in the crowd. I thought the bubble tavern was really closed!!!"

"Hahahaha, what are you doing? No sound at all. Boss, let's have two glasses of foam sweet wine!!!"

The two of them came in casually and sat on an empty table in the center after asking for wine.

But the dull atmosphere around is so curious after all.

"I said, what's wrong with you? What's going on? What's going on? Don't laugh loudly when you drink?"

A fat man kept asking around.

"Hmph...it's just that you can laugh if you don't know..."

“What exactly happened?”

The two fat men couldn't help it.

"Noso, we are good friends...Boss, we come to drink every day!!!"

The people next to him looked around and gritted their teeth.

"You guys heard this today and it's rotten in their stomachs!! No one can tell if they are the closest relatives??"

Seeing that everyone in the bar looked serious, the two fat men subconsciously curled their smiles and nodded.
Chapter completed!
