The Economics of Prophecy

Ten stories, true hypothesis.

Early morning meeting rooms, doors are strictly alert, and there are more Imperial knights looking out the window than in the first talks.

Craig and Dagobad at the front. Behind you sit kingdom missions such as Hyde and Fabius, as well as imperial knights and demon mentors who accompanied them all the way to Mount Flying Dragon. There are many people with strange faces because they were brought together in a way that almost aroused them.

I'll leave the explanator to Maitille. I'm the assistant next to it.

"We will now present the results of an analysis of the demonic pulse data of Flying Dragon Mountain for about 2000 years. Needless to say, please don't say anything else."

Mathier said in a tone that was nothing, but Dagobad, who seemed grumpy, heard it and erased his emotions from his expression.

"I'll get started then......" Briefly explain how to measure ice striped clay, where Mayteel is a sample. In the meantime, I'm going to write a graph on the tablet I got ready for you.

[Present]

Purple: | |

Deep red: | | | | |

[400 years ago]

Purple: | |

Deep red: | |

[800 years ago]

Purple | | | | | | | |

Deep red | | | | | | | | | | |

[1600 years ago]

Purple | | ……

Deep red | | | | | …

"Eight hundred years ago, anyway, until 400 years ago...... he said it was 1600 years ago. Isn't anything too old? No, you have a cycle."

"I see there's a 400 year cycle of demonic vein activity. In other words, it became clearer that the next disaster would be the same as it was 400 years ago... Well, that was worth the effort."

Dagobad and Craig look at the graph and open their mouths. Everyone in the back is nodding like they were impressed. I feel proud that the data I have gained since I struggled and fought the Warcraft was worth it. Maybe we did, too, at first.

Come on, Dagovard will ask you with his gaze what's next. Me and Mathilde kept our silence.

"... why not 1200 years ago"

"It's not a 400 year cycle. Double that..., 400 years ago then..."

Two next heads of state looked at each other almost simultaneously. The humans in the back seat, a little late, are turning their faces around. I guess we got this look too.

"You don't have to explain it to me to find out, do you? Deep red and purple, data on high magic wavelengths that usually don't show up. As far as that pattern is concerned, the next disaster is likely not 400 years ago, but closer to 800 years ago or even 1600 years ago. I mean, 400 years before the annihilation of the ancient nation, it felt like a minor handicap from a pattern of purple demonic vein activity."

To match Mathilde's words, I write down my future expectations. It's a dark prediction.

[Forecast for the future]

Future Now 400 Years Ago

Purple: … | | | | | | | | |

Unlike the choroid catastrophe of 400 years ago, the release of purple magic, 800 years ago and 1600 years ago, has lasted for more than a few decades. It's called the profound red magic coming out ahead, it's called the temporal cycle, this time it corresponds to you.

The data coming out of Glacier Lake ironically resembled the Ice Age of Chiku in the previous life. Modernity is apparently in the Ice Age.

No, the other way around. The past 800 years, when humans, non-magical creatures, were relatively easy to live in, were a tough time for Warcraft to say the Ice Age of Magic as well.

And now that ice is beginning to melt.

"... you mean to say that the next disaster will last for at least a few decades"

I said it in a voice like that Dagobird squeezes out. Craig doesn't make it as silent and slight as a plaster statue. Hyde and Fabius behind it are losing their complexion.

Even Crane, who should know the result, can't hide his frightened expression.

A catastrophe that crushed that prosperous ancient city and caused tremendous damage to all parts of the kingdom empire. But isn't the period during which the demon worm was ravaged practically a year or two? But this time?

This is clearly not a disaster. It's a long term natural cycle that goes beyond the human senses. In other words, the very organization of nature is telling humanity to perish.

That desperate fact spreads to the human being on this occasion.

"Do you have measures...?

Craig finally opened his mouth. The expression fits in as much as "Now I'm in trouble," but I know this from this guy is stunned.

Still saying, "Do you have measures?". I'm taking the seriousness of the facts.

"Honestly, I haven't had a hand with this yet."

I answered. There's too much I don't understand anyway. But I showed this to the boulder. I can't tell you.

"However, in principle, there are three key elements."

I talk about the policy I've been thinking about since this data came out without sleeping with Mathier and the others. Even so, the data came out at night.

I mean, we spent the night together in the same room, but that crane didn't complain about anything... Well, that's true.

"Let's hear it."

"The first is a grasp of the nature of the warcraft of disaster. Beyond being in Flying Dragon Mountain, where purple magic was releasing, and having deep red demon crystals as its core, it's more than likely that the demon bugs we met there are the warcraft of disaster. More than what past records and prophecies suggest is a large group flying in the sky. We should assume that a swarm of adults from that demonic worm will strike all over the place. When it comes to it, the problem is the specific adult abilities."

I went.

"The second is the development of a magic guide that will only be able to counter that adult, which will probably be more powerful than ever before."

"Whatever the number. Your strategy is to crush the Devil's respiratory tract with helitis."

I shook my head vertically at Dagobad.

"It will be difficult to target the airlock of the flying opponent"

"The outbreak of disaster will be the next spring. It's already winter. Can you even improve that new spirulitis?

I said it in a voice like Dagobad pushed him to death. Its eyes are directed at Mayteer.

"Improvements, if you mean on the current extension line, are not impossible. Still in the kingdom, work should be underway to make the entire magic wand a fine circuit. But needless to say, we need further cooperation with the Kingdom to make it happen."

Mathier answered. Dagobad frowned.

"... it makes sense that the side that developed the new magic guide would be able to use it first. And it is likely that the first to be attacked by a herd of demonic worms is in the realm of the Empire. Which way do you develop it?"

"You saw how an improved magic wand works. I regret it, but I basically have everything I need in my kingdom. Still, it's unlikely we'll make it."

…………

To Mathilde's words, Dagovard shifted his gaze to me and Craig. There is no anger or other emotion in Dagobad's eyes. Yet only the sharpness of the piercing gaze pierces my heart.

I sifted my shoulder and saw Craig. This prince takes that gaze without changing one expression.

... Not if I'm saying this, but at times like this, I'm reminded that I'm an ordinary person. Knowledge, abilities and vessels as people, I guess, are in a different place.

But I can't say that. Even if I don't have a bowl of heroes and braves, I have plans and dreams of being a merchant.

I take a big, deep breath once. And I opened my mouth towards Dagobad.

"I will describe the third element, the battlefield with the herd of demonic worms. I think the battlefield is" here. "

I pointed to a spot on the map. If we can set the planned battlefield here......

"Huh, I'm relieved. Ricardo falls, but he doesn't wake up."

I said it in the face Craig said was terrible. Well, given the hard work ahead, you don't have as much use for it as this.

"... there are several questions. But if your ideas are viable, there's no better way."

Dagobad said as he glanced at the map.

"Now let's share roles. I will remain in the empire until the end of the day to ascertain the information of the demon worm with this eye. Ricardo returns to the kingdom to proceed with the development of a new magic wand for the battle against demonic worms. Hyde and Fabius escort Ricardo"

Craig said. Quite simply, it means that I will be some kind of guarantee that this joint operation will take place.

Of course, I didn't have a meeting. The trust that the human being on this occasion was basically a party and carried out the investigation together. At the same time, even in a common crisis between the two countries, the elements of confrontation were known to remain, so we set up this venue to convey them at the same time.

"... Mathier accompany the kingdom. In time for the development of a new magic guide."

Dagobird also, in a way, gives this one the greatest resource of the Empire.

"Got it."

The two make one decision after another. I don't even give my men whilst they're pinching their mouths. But there is only one of the knights who hastily stood up after the instructions of the princes.

"Prince Wang, may I ask you one thing?"

It's the oldest Fabius in the world. Uh, anything wrong? No, I have a lot to discuss with you about the battlefield.

"Lord Vinder's measure, the deciding factor for it, is the battlefield setting. A detailed grasp of geography is imperative beforehand, beyond the fact that different countries each move with a large number of soldiers. And as soon as possible."

"... That's right"

Craig nodded at Fabius' words.

"I'm going from here to the battlefield planned. I would like to try to understand the surrounding geography and create a map. Even this old bone can be reconnoitred. Regardless, there are not enough people to support you later..."

"I'll let you out of here naturally."

Dagobad said. No, the image of the prophecy that disaster is spring to early summer is only within the realm of the kingdom, if...

"It's a matter of contending for a moment. Adopt Sir Fabius' proposal"

But it wasn't long before I stopped. Craig made his decision.
