Chapter 196 Ominous Omen
On the twenty-eighth mural, demons from the abyss descended into the world, plundering all resources like locusts.
In the Royal Palace of Essos, the king prayed to the goddess of the night. Under the guidance of the oracle, he led his subjects to fight back against the abyss army. However, with only the strength of mortals, everything he did was like a mantis using his arm as a chariot.
The next few murals tell the story of the short-lived struggle between the Kingdom of Essos and the Abyss.
"Is it over here?" Lafite raised an eyebrow.
Following the murals on the wall, everyone learned about the birth of the Night Goddess and the history of the Kingdom of Essos. However, with the invasion of the abyssal demons, the murals on the wall came to an abrupt end, as if symbolizing the end of the kingdom's fate.
"According to historical records, the Kingdom of Essos was destroyed by the invasion of the Abyss."
Isaac nodded and sighed, "The content recorded on the mural is consistent with history. It seems that Essos did die due to the invasion of the abyss. It's just a pity that there is no record of the final outcome of the goddess of the night!"
The picture on the wall ends after the invasion of the abyss, but it does not indicate whether the goddess of the night has fallen.
"Wait! What is that?" Suddenly, Caroline narrowed her eyes.
Following her gaze, everyone saw that after the last mural ended, there was a long period of darkness on the wall, but then six more colorful murals appeared.
"This mural is different from the previous one." Isaac frowned slightly.
The murals after the darkness are obviously different from the murals recording the history of Essos. Although they look a bit old, they have not been damaged at all due to the erosion of the years.
Enzo stepped forward and brushed the dust off the mural with his hands.
The content of the first mural is very simple. Under the dark night, a black moon hangs quietly in the sky. The second mural shows a dark ruins, with mist rolling in like a tide, swallowing up everything around it.
"What does this mean?" Lafite frowned in confusion.
Several other people had the same reaction and couldn't understand the content of the mural at all, but Enzo felt a tremor rush from his back to the top of his head. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked at the remaining murals.
The black moon is coming, and the tide of confusion is surging!
The first two murals coincide with the prophecies on the black sword, while the third mural shows a huge black palace appearing deep in the surging fog, and on the gate of the palace, there is a one-eyed of groove.
"Night Maze!" Enzo was shocked.
The palace on the mural seems to be the prophesied Labyrinth of Night. According to Orcas, the Labyrinth of Night is also called the Temple of Night, and is most likely the kingdom of God where the goddess of the night sleeps.
Then, the fourth mural.
This time the content has nothing to do with the Black Sword Prophecy. Judging from the content, it is a figure in black robes who presses a one-eye into the groove on the palace door. Then the palace door opens, and countless figures around him rush in crazily.
In the fifth mural, a giant spider is entrenched above the palace.
From its ferocious mouthparts, thousands of silk threads were sprayed out, entangling all the people who poured into the palace, forming white cocoons that were hung upside down in the palace.
In the Sixth Bliss mural, darkness enveloped everything.
Enzo took a deep breath, and the thoughts in his mind kept changing. The six murals expressed too much content. Except for the last dark mural, which was incomprehensible, the meanings of the other five paintings were very simple.
Among them, the contents of the first, second, and third murals are consistent with the Black Sword prophecy.
The fourth mural seems to record the method of opening the night maze, and many people are fighting for the maze. As for the fifth mural, a giant spider appears in the palace, spinning out spider silk to bind everyone into cocoons.
"What do you want to express in this content?" Lafite looked confused.
She didn't know the Black Sword Prophecy and didn't know much about Essos, so she couldn't understand the content on the mural at all. It was like she was trapped in a mystery that she couldn't decipher at all.
At this time, Isaac's eyes suddenly flashed and he approached the mural.
He looked at the third mural, and thoughts appeared on his face. He always felt a little familiar with the black palace that appeared on it, but he didn't know what it was about.
"Did you find anything? Senior Isaac." Enzo also took a step forward and asked.
"I feel like I've seen this before somewhere?" Isaac stretched out his hand and pointed to the one-eye groove on the palace door.
After hearing Isaac's words, Enzo suddenly felt that the one-eyed groove seemed familiar. He was about to use the chip to search, but a picture suddenly flashed in his mind, and his pupils shrank in vain.
"Eye of Twilight!"
The one-eye groove on the mural palace looks like a miniature version of the Eye of Twilight. It is precisely because of this that Isaac and Enzo feel familiar.
"Eye of Twilight?" At this time, Caroline also came over and said in surprise, "It's true, even the stripes are exactly the same as the Eye of Twilight in Thunder City, but the size is hundreds of thousands times different."
"Yes! This is indeed the Eye of Twilight! But why does it appear on the mural?" Isaac frowned and said with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
The Eye of Twilight hanging above Thunder City has been around for many years.
The origin of that magical item cannot be verified, but it belongs to the Kendi family. It does not have a very powerful ability. It is only used as a witchcraft prop to monitor everything around the tower.
"Could it be that the Eye of Twilight is the key to opening the maze of night?" Enzo's thoughts were changing.
Countless pieces of information merged together, like a ray of light in the fog. Suddenly, a hint of enlightenment appeared in his heart, followed by a deep throbbing.
"If the Eye of Twilight is the key to the maze of night, how did the man in black robes who opened the maze get it?" Enzo's eyes flickered, and an inference suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Is it possible that this is all related to Justin!"
"Perhaps he already knew about the Dark Labyrinth, so he used suspended animation to escape and sneaked into Thunder City, intending to find an opportunity to steal the Eye of Twilight in an attempt to open the Dark Labyrinth."
"If these assumptions are true, then Justin may be hiding in Thunder City now!"
At this time, Isaac said in a deep voice: "We left the underground ruins and returned to Thunder City immediately. Although we still don't know the meaning of these six murals, since it involves the Eye of Twilight, it means that someone is likely to want to attack Thunder City." It’s not good for the city.”
"I also agree with brother Isaac's idea."
Caroline frowned and said, "I always feel that the things on the murals seem to represent some bad things. For safety reasons, let's go back to Thunder City first."
