Chapter 481: Earthquake

The night after talking with Catherine about the murals, Ethan had a dream. In the dream, he returned to the moment when he drowned as a child.

A suffocating feeling that had not appeared for a long time came, and he opened his eyes instantly.

But when he opened his eyes, he found that it was not the cold pond when he first came to this world, but a familiar and unfamiliar place.

It was desolate and dead here, with huge white bones everywhere, and... the giant stone door with all kinds of eyes.

The Gate of Truth?

How did I get here?

Is it still a dream?

Just as Ethan was puzzled, an old and sad voice sounded.

"My child, you are finally here, I have waited for you for millions of years!"

Ethan was shocked: "Who are you?"

The source of the voice did not answer Ethan's words, but said to himself: "My child, go and complete your mission!"

"Who are you? What mission?" Ethan asked again.

"Go! I'm waiting for you!"

"Who are you?"

"Go! I'm waiting for you!"

"Go! I'm waiting for you!"

...

Ethan found that no matter what he said, the man would just say "Go! I'm waiting for you!" to himself like a murmur.

Ethan was almost annoyed by the voice, but he found that he seemed to be trapped here and couldn't get out.

So Ethan started the ascension posture, and as the golden light on his body lit up, the desolation within a ten-meter range centered on him quickly faded, revealing a green grassland, and behind him there was a green tree full of various fruits.

Seeing this scene, Ethan was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the stone gate again, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The stone gate, which was originally very strange, suddenly changed now. Those various eyes had black chains growing out of them at some point.

At the other end of the chain, hundreds of spirits were tied like dogs.

Those spirits looked like clouds with blue light, some were humanoid, some were like long-eared elves, and some were... dragons.

Most of them only had one appearance, and the specific details could not be seen clearly.

But there were three figures that were different. Although they also had chains around their necks, every detail was very clear, just like people met on the street.

The most important thing was that Ethan actually knew two of them.

One was [Fraudster] Kilpandas, and the other was... Nolan

Seeing Nolan, Ethan's heart jumped, and he hurried forward to confirm it clearly.

He walked quickly towards the stone gate, and with every step he took, the grass on the ground extended one step with him.

Seeing that he was about to reach the stone gate, another unknown person next to Nolan suddenly raised his head.

He frowned and glanced at Ethan, his eyes full of confusion, and then suddenly grinned at Ethan.

That smile was as weird as the atmosphere here.

When Ethan saw it, his eyebrows were almost twisted together: "Who are you?"

Before the man could answer, the sky and the earth suddenly shook, and the surrounding scenery began to collapse rapidly...

Just when Ethan was at a loss, the man's voice came with the collapse, intermittently: "The one who ascended... is really... amazing..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Ethan woke up.

This time he really woke up, but the shaking in the dream continued.

Ethan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that an earthquake had occurred, so he didn't bother to think about anything else, and quickly started the ascending posture, picked up Angelina beside him, and flashed to the rooms of several children.

Where he passed, he must have left a golden figure.

After he hugged all the children, he hurried to Sophia's room.

As soon as he arrived in the room, he found that Sophia had already propped up a shield with the guardian staff. Seeing that she was fine, Ethan didn't say much and hurriedly took her out of the house together.

After sending Angelina, Sofia, and several children to an open area, he had time to wake up the others.

After a while, everyone ran out of the manor safely under Ethan's shouting.

The earthquake lasted intermittently for about half an hour.

Fortunately, although the tremor was strong, it was not strong.

In addition, when the manor was built, the foundation was solid and the materials were solid, so the manor did not collapse.

Not long after, Embiid counted the number of people and came to report to Ethan.

"Master, I have counted and everyone is safe.

However, Master, I think this earthquake is a bit strange!"

Ethan, who was coaxing several children, heard this and didn't understand what Embiid meant, so he asked, "What do you want to say?"

Embiid was obviously embarrassed by Ethan's question.

"That... Master, I don't know how to explain it. I just feel that this earthquake seems to be different from the usual ones, but I can't tell what's different. I just feel very uncomfortable."

Ethan was amused by Embiid: "An earthquake is an earthquake, what's the difference? If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate."

At this time, Sofia came over and said, "Embid is right, this earthquake is indeed different."

Seeing Sofia also said so, Ethan immediately took it seriously.

"How is it different?"

Sophia lowered her head and thought for a while, then replied: "Don't you feel anything strange? For example, during an earthquake, um... how should I put it, the Force in my body also becomes chaotic?"

"No!" Ethan shook his head, then looked at Sophia and Embiid seriously: "Are you in a state of abnormality?"

Both nodded, and Sophia said with a worried look on her face: "Just now my magic power has been surging non-stop, as if it was going to run away.

I have experienced earthquakes before, but I have never felt this way."

Sophia's words were exactly what Embiid wanted to express, so he nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes! I feel the same way!"

As Embiid agreed, other knights who had cultivated the Force and magicians around him also gathered around, saying that they also felt the same way.

Ethan was a little confused for a moment.

Why didn't he feel this way?

And why were they like this?

In addition to that strange dream, what happened?

Although Ethan had countless doubts in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to doubt. The most important thing now was to calm people's hearts.

So he stretched out a hand and motioned everyone to be quiet.

Then he asked: "Do you still have that strange feeling now?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Seeing this, Ethan smiled slightly: "I know you may be worried that something has happened. In fact, I think so too.

However, don't worry, I will bear it if the sky falls.

Well, life is like this. There are always various natural disasters and man-made disasters. As long as people are fine, there is no need to worry about those things. Living a good life every day is the most practical.

Since everyone is fine, go back to rest when you should go back to rest, and do what you should do."
