Chapter 1260 - Astrologian and History (1/2)
That descendant’s name was Agalon.
Agalon’s story stunned Lin Yun, he was completely dumbfounded. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind: ‘all those historians are idiots.’
Agalon was actually a direct descendant of the 3rd Dynasty’s royal family! The prince raised as a bird in a cage by the Odin Kingdom’s royal family was actually a fake!
“Astrologians have the ability to see some images of the future. At the age of twelve, when I entered the Starry Sky College, I saw an image of me at 39, I saw the scene of my discovery of the Natural Demiplane’s Planar Path.
“I was aware of my talents, without enough resources, it would have been very difficult for me to get a lot of achievements. Thus, I focused on alchemy, hoping to find that Planar Path earlier. I knew that the Planar Path would change my fate.
“But no matter how hard I tried, I was still unable to change fate’s trajectory. At 39, I found that Planar Path due to an unexpected accident.”
As Agalon explained his story, Lin Yun felt more and more annoyed at those historians, who knew how many “finishing touches” they added to history.
In the future textbooks, it was emphasized that Agalon refused to sell the plane because of his thirst for knowledge and his curiosity towards the unknown.
But he just heard the truth from Agalon, he had seen the moment that would change his fate at 12. He had studied alchemy in order to find it, he knew from the start.
“These past few years, I’ve been seeing very few images.
“I saw the Raging Flame Plane’s destruction, its complete disappearance.
“I also saw a desolate world, a decaying city in the desert with a very tall tower, I saw the sky covered in cracks and storms of destruction seeping through them.
“Then I saw the sky’s cracks widened and the entire world torn to pieces as calamity descended. As this numbing and scary image disappeared, I knew that this world was Noscent.”
Agalon’s tone was heavy and his eyes were glued to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun’s eyelids twitched and the scenery of Heiss City appeared in his mind, as well as the scene of Noscent’s destruction.
‘Agalon actually saw Noscent’s destruction, it was never written in his biography! Great Astrologian… Damn, this wasn’t just his mage title, it referred to his own identity!’
Agalon took note of Lin Yun’s silence and continued talking by himself.
“At first, I noticed you because of your Natural Demiplane. After so many years, I was the only one that found a Natural Demiplane and developed it without letting it perish to the void.
“Up until I found you. That endless mana reserve, frantic fighting style and the ability to fight people a few ranks above your own. This isn’t something spells, control, or incantations could accomplish. Only a Natural Demiplane with stable laws could do so.
“I was certain of it when you reached the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm, because no mage could master and control the power of the four elemental Law in such a short time. Only Natural Demiplanes’ owners could accomplish this.
“You are a genius, a true genius. Due to my curiosity, I dispatched people to collect information on you.
“That’s how I found something else.”
Agalon took a sip of tea while Lin Yun calmly listened. In fact, he wasn’t worried that Agalon would see through his transmigration, because this was something that never happened before.
“You were just a Magic Apprentice with very ordinary talent for most of your youth, you spent a lot of time and your family supplied a large amount of golds for you to reach the 9th Rank of the Magic Apprentice realm.
“But something happened to your family and you seemed to have become a different person. Your power rose at a rapid pace and you seemed to have comprehended a lot of magic knowledge far ahead of our time.
“From that point on, you started rising at a terrifying pace. You solved the formula the Cloud Tower spent dozens of years on and burst out with terrifying alchemy abilities and power. Most importantly, you seem to know everything.
“When you went to the Raging Flame Plane, a lot of things happened in succession. Others might not notice anything wrong and would only marvel at your talent and your strength, but I know that no one could solve everything, no one is able to solve every problem they encounter.
“That only explains one thing. You already knew the solution to those particular problems.
“I have seen the fate of the Raging Flame Plane, yet, the Raging Flame Plane is intact. It could even be said that the Raging Flame Plane is in its best development period right now.
“As for you, you are the greatest beneficiary of the Raging Flame Plane. It looks like you only obtained a small territory, but it’s actually the richest one, and it could be said to be the core area of the Raging Flame Plane. The other areas’ materials are steadily flowing into the Four Season Plain and sold to you.
“You already control the lifeline of the Raging Flame Plane, and most importantly, you obtained the Intrepid, recovered three races that had disappeared in the river of time, as well as many benefits that others wouldn’t notice.
“And it’s all because of your appearance, because you saved the Raging Flame Plane from its fate.”
After saying that, Agalon’s tone couldn’t remain calm.
“Mafa Merlin, since that accident happened to your father, you have awakened an ability. You are also able to see the future, and you can see far more than me!
“If you only knew about the Raging Flame Plane’s destruction, you wouldn’t have been able to alter its fate. I once tried to alter the fate of a scene I saw, only to find out that it was useless. But this time, the ending is completely different from what I saw. This is an outcome that shouldn’t have appeared in the Raging Flame Plane.
“The future… What have you seen? Don’t keep it hidden, I won’t hurt you, I just want to know.”
Excitement could be seen on Agalon’s face, he looked like an alchemist who had spent a long time before finally touching a corner of the truth and impatiently trying to learn what was behind that corner.
Lin Yun was silent, he hadn’t expected Agalon to make this kind of conjecture. He actually guessed that he knew a lot of things regarding the future, many things that shouldn’t be known, because he was also someone that could see through the future.
Peeking at the future was a taboo and an unreachable field, that was something a mage couldn’t come in contact with, it was related to fate.
In history, the number of people able to see images of the future could be counted on one’s finger. But these people were just like Agalon, there was a limit to how much they could see, because they themselves didn’t know what kind of scene they would see or when it would happen.
Moreover, they could only see some very key scenes, just like how Agalon saw the discovery of the Planar Path, the Raging Flame Plane’s end, and Noscent’s destruction.
It was an uncontrollable ability and the scenes shown were only the most crucial ones. It could also be said that Agalon could only see the end result, the crucial result.
Some powerful Heaven Mage, or some extremely powerful powerhouses of other races could see scenes of the future as they approached death. But no one would believe those, if they saw those scenes, it only meant that they were going to die soon.
Agalon relentlessly stared at Lin Yun, hoping to hear some details of the future from Lin Yun.
