Chapter 250 Hertz Tower
Exile's Swamp.
Green poisonous fog filled the air, and thick bubbles gurgled in the swamp from time to time.
Ugly-looking creatures roam in this uninhabited place. It seems that just like its name, this place has been exiled from the magical continent.
A figure was flying slowly at low altitude over the swamp. He frowned, and the khaki-colored outer shell of the magic energy shield was constantly stimulated by the poisonous gas, making a hissing sound.
It was not until he arrived above a huge green swamp pool that he sensed something and stopped.
"Hertz, are you really here?"
He lifted the big hood on his head, revealing a slightly weather-beaten face, and the gorgeous magic robe on his body had now become a little dirty.
Since leaving Winterbourne Hill's Ice Palace, Franky has been looking for the magic tower called "Hertz" based on the magic tower key provided by the latter.
The Seven-Star Magic Tower is one of the key elements to finding the Sky Island. If you want to find the Seven-Star Magic Tower, you need to find Hertz first, who can guide him to find the other towers.
Although he had been traveling for nearly a month, Franky did not feel tired. Instead, he felt very at ease.
In the first half of his life, he climbed to the pinnacle of power in the Caesar Empire for his own future, but he was empty inside;
In the second half of his life, he will fight for the awakening of the entire magical continent and reopen the path to becoming a god for magicians. No matter how difficult it is, his heart is fulfilled.
Lin Feng's face seemed to appear in front of Franky's eyes again, and at the same time, the face of his teacher, Sadie Maya, also appeared.
He believes that what he is doing now will not disappoint anyone.
Following the guidance of the Hertz Key and the endless prophecy, Franky determined that he had reached his destination.
He took out the Key of Hertz, spread out the magic power, and searched for the location of the Hertz Tower.
At this moment, the swamp below, with sticky green bubbles, began to surge violently like boiling water.
A black tower actually rose from the swamp. Under the protection of the magic barrier, it took 5 minutes to fully appear in front of Franky's eyes.
Franky looked at the Seven-Star Magic Tower in front of him, Hertz, which was not grand but full of mystery, and his heart could not help but become excited.
Before he found this ancient tower, he was a little skeptical, but at this moment, he felt that all the efforts he had made before were worth it.
Franky walked forward with the Hertz Key.
As if sensing the presence of the key, the Hertz Tower, which was wrapped in a magic barrier, took the initiative to open a door.
When Franky stepped in, he had already arrived inside the Hertz Tower, and what followed was a strong feeling of weightlessness.
The interior of the Hertz Tower is like the starry universe. Under the dome, a crystal ball with a diameter of 2 meters is suspended.
Magic books floated around the crystal ball, and elemental elves danced lightly on the books and surrounded Franky.
"Are you the new prophet? You have Hertz's key, so you are the new tower keeper?"
Just as Franky was looking around intently, a playful voice suddenly came from his shoulder. It turned out to be a yellow squirrel with a translucent body.
"Hello, my name is Franky, and I'm here to look for Hertz Tower."
Franky turned his head. This squirrel had a very strong prophetic power, which made him feel very familiar.
"Hello, Franky, I'm very happy to see you too. My name is Kiki. I've been bored here for a long time. Would you like to stay here and play with me?" Kiki asked.
Franky could feel that Kiki was a very simple magical creature, but he didn't come here to play.
"I'm sorry, Kiki. I came here to use the Hertz Tower to find the other Seven-Star Magic Towers. Can you help me?" Franky said truthfully.
"I can help you, but if you want to borrow Hertz's power, you have to pass my test. This will only work if you and Hertz are very compatible!" said Qiqi.
"What is the test?"
"The question is simple."
As Qiqi spoke, he stretched out his hand and summoned two floating magic books.
These two magic books are called "Changing the Present" and "Influencing the Future".
"As long as you can guess which book I will choose to read in 10 minutes. You have 5 minutes to write the answer on this piece of paper and then throw it into the box. If my choice is the same as yours when the time is up, then you have passed the test." Qiqi said with a grin.
Franky nodded.
For the fortune teller, this is a very simple prediction question. All he has to do is predict the choice the other party will make in 10 minutes.
"Can I touch you?"
"of course can."
After getting permission, Franky reached out and touched Kiki's hair.
Although Qiqi is a translucent magical creature, it still has a real touch under the perception of magic.
Contact with the predicted things is the starting condition for the performance of prophecy. After entering the realm of legendary magician, Franky's ability to master prophecy has also greatly increased.
If it is to predict what will happen one year later, there may be a great inaccuracy, but if it is just to choose the target person 10 minutes later, it is still very simple for him.
Soon, Franky performed the prophecy, and as usual, the scene predicted ten minutes later would appear before his eyes.
But at this moment, there was a fog in front of his eyes.
This means that he had no idea what Kiki’s choice would be 10 minutes later!
"There are still 4 minutes left!" Qiqi's voice sounded beside him, with the corners of his grinning mouth as if he had already known this would happen.
Franky's brows were furrowed.
Although there is a 99% chance of accuracy even if you guess blindly, as long as the probability is not %, even a % accuracy rate means failure.
This seemed like a simple prophecy topic, but it was not as simple as he thought.
Franky felt a little pressured. If he couldn't use prophecy to predict the future, then this problem would be almost unsolvable.
That 50% probability of failure is 100% failure in his eyes!
It is also the failure of the prophet.
Is it "Changing the Present" or "Influencing the Future"?
"There are only 3 minutes left!"
Kiki's countdown, like a death warrant, continued to put pressure on Franky.
Franky's eyes kept moving back and forth between the two books. Although he was not hot, beads of sweat appeared on his face.
If he cannot answer this question correctly, he will not be able to use the power of the Hertz Tower to find the other seven magic towers, he will not be able to find the way to the Sky Island, and he will not be able to restore the vitality of the magic continent.
"Two minutes left!"
Kiki was jumping around Franky, very happy.
Franky would never just pick a book as an answer, he would rather not pick one than take the guise of a prophecy.
"There's only one minute left!"
Kiki jumped up and down more frequently, and Franky didn't have much time left.
At this time, Franky calmed down.
His eyes rested on the magic book "Change the Present".
He seems to have consistently overlooked the connection between the titles of the two books.
The reason why a prophecy is called a prophecy is that it is naturally knowing what will happen in the future in advance, but will the future really remain unchanged?
Knowing what will happen in the future, are any choices we make now meaningless?
Can a prophet only predict the future, and other than that, can he just watch helplessly when faced with unexpected events?
Franky has never been a man who surrenders himself without a fight. He has grown up through constant struggle. God has given him the ability to predict, and he will never allow him to just watch history develop in silence.
Suddenly, Franky's eyes lit up.
He grabbed the pen and paper floating in the air, wrote the words "Influence the Future" in large letters on the paper, and then threw it into a box beside him.
At the same time, he grabbed the book "Change the Present" and put it into the space ring.
When he finished all this, the last minute was over.
Qiqi stopped jumping, held his breath through his mouth, and his cheeks were puffed up.
"You cheat!"
"You didn't say we can't do this! Qiqi, do you want to wait another 5 minutes to make a choice? It seems you only have one choice now."
Franky raised the corners of his mouth.
If there are countless possibilities for the future and you want to get a unique result, then all you can do is eliminate all options that may change the future.
Only by changing the present can we influence the future.
"Hahahaha! Franky, you're so funny! Congratulations on passing my test!"
Kiki glared at Franky angrily, then suddenly burst into laughter!
Franky secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his bet was right. He was worried that Qiqi would find another copy of "Change the Present" from somewhere, which would be really shocking.
"Then can I borrow Hertz's power now?"
"Of course, you actually have the key to the Hertz Tower, so you are the owner of this tower."
"..."
"But if you can answer my questions, you will be my master from now on! You can use the crystal ball up there to find out anything you want to know."
Franky looked up at the crystal ball under the dome. He had been eager for it, so he flew up immediately.
"I want to know the location of the nearest Seven Star Magic Tower!"
Franky touched the crystal ball.
The crystal ball suddenly lit up, and accompanied by a magical whirlwind, all the objects in the tower began to spin.
The map of the magic continent was projected onto the magic crystal ball, and it kept zooming in, and the map became three-dimensional.
A white cloud dissipated, revealing an icy plain.
The plain expanded again, and a city in ice and snow appeared!
Franky's eyes focused, he had already recognized the city.
"Eternal Frozen Plains, Windrage City!"
