The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon
Chapter 270 The Price of Prophecy
"I came here with my father, and then when I was seven years old, I suddenly awakened to a strange ability."
The boy Richard sat on a stone chair and slowly told about himself.
"That ability is the prophecy you mentioned?"
Hearing this, Tina couldn't help but interrupt and ask.
Richard looked at the reliefs on the ceiling of the house and nodded:
"At first, when I was sleeping at night, I could vaguely see some strange images, and then the images became clearer and clearer until they were no different from reality."
"I slowly discovered that the images in those dreams were actually the scenes around me. Sometimes they were scenes that had happened yesterday, and sometimes they were things that had not happened tomorrow."
Richard stared at the ceiling. His eyes seemed to have traveled through time and saw his helpless seven-year-old self.
"My special ability was soon known to other people in the town. Children of the same age began to stay away from me, but those adults who lived in the racecourse and were usually indifferent began to become enthusiastic."
"They asked me to make predictions and predict the outcome of the game."
Having said this, the boy was suddenly silent for a moment.
He raised his head, looked at Tina who was frowning beside him, and said slowly:
"But this kind of prophecy does not come without a price."
"What price?"
Tina no longer had that relaxed smile at this time, and her face was full of seriousness.
Richard lowered his head, crossed his hands, and played with his little finger:
"I found that every time I made a prediction about the future, I would become seriously ill."
"The severity of each illness will vary depending on the number of people betting on that game, but if only I know the predicted outcome, the illness will be much less severe."
"My father is a doctor. He asked me to rest more, but the people at the racecourse didn't want me to rest. They were eagerly waiting for the predicted result of the next horse race."
"During that time, I often couldn't tell whether I was in reality or in a dream."
At this point, Richard suddenly stopped.
His eyes were full of fear, as if he was recalling those terrible events from the past.
The atmosphere in the room began to become silent, and a strange feeling began to emerge in everyone's hearts.
Raya and Fran, who were following Tina, looked at each other. This was the first time they heard such a strange thing.
Seeing that the instructor Tina and the ice wolf sister (Setsuna) didn't seem to want to speak, the true dragon master also kept lying quietly without speaking.
Finally, Raya tried to ask in a low voice:
"Then do you still have dreams now?"
This sentence seemed to wake Richard up.
His body trembled violently, as if he had recovered from some state.
"How are you?"
Fran looked worriedly at the blond boy who seemed a little precocious due to his childhood experiences.
Richard shook his head and rubbed his eyes:
"I'm fine, I just seemed to have fallen asleep."
"Maybe it's because I haven't had any rest in the past few days."
After saying that, he became energetic again, as if nothing just happened.
The blond boy quickly returned to his previous normal posture and continued to talk about what happened next:
"Even though I was too weak to get out of bed, the adults kept asking me to predict the outcome of the next Marseille."
"Soon, my father discovered this after he returned from a medical treatment, so he went to find the people at the racecourse and asked them not to look for me again."
"them."
Tina frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
She has actually seen a lot of desperate gamblers in the past two years in the capital. Once people get into this hobby, it is not easy to give up.
Especially when you really find a prophet and can get gold coins from horse racing.
But then, Richard's answer surprised everyone.
The blond boy looked relaxed and smiled:
"They quickly agreed to my father's request, and my health gradually improved under my father's care."
"Later, my father found a cure for this strange disease. Now, as long as I don't take the initiative to think about it, I won't have that kind of dream again."
Hearing this, Tina frowned and asked in confusion:
"Strange disease? Isn't it a prophecy?"
The boy's calm face was suddenly stunned, and then he suddenly realized:
"Huh? Oh, that's the name my father gave it."
"He always said there were no prophecies in the world, it was just a strange disease."
He said with a relaxed expression.
"Now, where is your father?"
Suddenly a voice interrupted him.
Everyone turned back and looked in the direction of the sound.
Facing everyone's gaze.
Setsuna lowered his head and looked at the iridescent baby dragon in his arms that suddenly opened its eyes in surprise.
Yes, the one who spoke was Ron, who had been lying silently in Setsuna's arms.
He looked at Richard calmly and asked:
"Where is he now?"
Richard looked at the nine-color dragon eyes and lowered his head subconsciously:
"My father. He went to a far away place to treat other people's illnesses."
"Yeah."
Ron glanced at the dusty medical books on the table and the few notebooks pressed under the desk, and said calmly:
"It looks like that place is far away from here, otherwise a doctor wouldn't allow his books to gather dust."
"."
The boy looked at the scattered books of "Basic Medicine" on the table and was silent for a long time.
Then, he nodded dullly and said:
"It's far, somewhere, really far."
"Strange. Why. I can't remember where my father went."
"Where is it?"
The boy's eyes gradually became hollow, and he muttered words that no one could understand.
And Tina and others couldn't help but follow his murmurs in their hearts, and their eyes gradually became confused.
"alright!"
Suddenly, a clear dragon roar woke up everyone present.
Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, their eyes widened suddenly, and they recovered from the chaotic state.
Among them was the blond boy Richard.
"bass!"
The moment the chaotic state was lifted, Setsuna's hair stood on end, and his originally hidden claws popped out instantly, aiming at the blond boy, with an astonishing murderous intent in his eyes.
Tina also frowned, a small golden hammer began to appear vaguely in her hand, and a battle robe began to appear outside her body.
Raya and Fran stood between the two at a loss. Before they could figure out what was going on, the room suddenly became tense.
"Tina, Setsuna."
A familiar voice called to the two of them.
Faced with the doubtful looks of the two men, Ron, who stopped him, shook his head slightly, indicating not to rush into action.
"yes."
Setsuna didn't seem to hesitate, and directly retracted the sharp claws and wolf tail into the body.
Tina hesitated for a moment and quickly terminated the liberation of the artifact.
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
"Ho! Ho! Ho..."
Richard bolted upright.
His heart was beating wildly, rising and falling rapidly as if it was about to leave his chest.
at this time
The boy's face was soaked with sweat, and large beads of muddy sweat slowly slid down his forehead.
"I seem to have fallen asleep again."
Kavinka is so ecstatic.
This is actually a thrilling little story, I don’t know if you have noticed it.
