Chapter 722: Famine, Plague, War, Death, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Are Coming!

The Lord of Thunder frowned slightly, staring closely at his disciple. Gretel, however, regardless of how serious the teacher looked or whether there was doubt in his eyes, just poured beans out of a bamboo tube and said it all:

"I know what Mrs. Endor saw! A volcano, it must be a volcano! - Compared with what I perceived during the advancement process, only volcanoes can be like this!"

The Lord of Thunder nodded slightly. The blood of the goddess dyed the sky red, which can be understood as the earth cracking open and bright red magma spurting into the sky;

After a large volcanic eruption, there is usually heavy rain around the volcano, mixed with lightning and thunder;

But……

"What does the volcanic eruption thousands of miles away have to do with us here? The big magic circle expanded to its limit, and eight legendary mages were used to guide its power to see that volcanic eruption - even an earthquake would not affect us ah!"

"It will affect you, teacher!" Grete said anxiously:

"Mrs. Endor said - the entire sky is shrouded in bright red, which never retreats all year round. This means that volcanic ash is ejected high into the atmosphere, and follows the atmospheric circulation to cover the sky and block the sun."

He didn't care about the consequences of being noticed by the teacher, and with a wave of his hand, [Silent Phantom] outlined a large sphere. The mountains are towering, the clouds are rolling, the atmospheric circulation and the cold and warm ocean currents are running on the surface of the sphere——

A mushroom cloud exploded high, spitting out countless dust, spreading, spreading, filling the entire northern hemisphere, and filling the sky over the mainland and the Kingdom of Kent.

"Teacher, if the power of the volcanic eruption is strong enough, if the volcanic ash spewed is enough, if even the sky here is covered, famine will really come next year!"

Traveling back to the world before, in 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted. It was one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, spewing volcanic ash straight into the stratosphere. Sunset clouds caused by volcanic ash can also be seen as far away as London, England.

The following year, 1816, the entire northern hemisphere experienced abnormal climate and severe low temperatures. There is snow in June and frost in August.

In Asia, Europe, and even North America, agricultural production was severely affected and widespread famine occurred. That year is known in history as "the year without summer".

Combining the eruption of the volcano, the red sky that never recedes all year round, and the omen that still alarms the prophecy legend even though it is thousands of miles away, Grete's first thought is that the year without summer is coming again.

"Famine, great famine, in the most serious case, it can be a famine covering several continents..." Gretel's tone became more and more urgent:

"Not only will grains not grow, but even grass will have a hard time growing. People will be short of food, and livestock will starve to death in large numbers! In addition, there will be unusual cold in the summer, and then the plague will follow, and the people fleeing the famine will also aggravate the plague. correct!"

He took two quick steps and stared at the top of the map, the Black Gate Peninsula, and the great wilderness further east:

"Our allies, dwarves and barbarians, are less able to fight famine and will suffer greater losses! Teacher..."

Famine, plague. The two are superimposed, and people who suffer disasters are likely to start a war at all costs in order to survive;

And even if there is no war, there is a high probability that the first two will lead to the final outcome-death.

There seemed to be a shrill horn sound in Gretel's ears, and he saw four horses galloping from the horizon. White horse, red horse, black horse, green horse——

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are here!

The Lord of Thunder's face became more serious than ever before. He stared intently at the sphere summoned by Gretel, looking at the snow caps at the north and south ends, looking at the towering mountains, looking at the circulation of monsoons and ocean currents...

While watching, the monocle was crackling with electric light, and countless numbers and symbols were scrolling rapidly. Obviously, he was mobilizing the powerful computing power of the legendary mage to make a quick and rough calculation.

Gretel stood at the edge with his hands tied, not daring to say a word, and quickly searched for the books he had read in his mind. If the teacher asks him, "How do you know that the earth is a sphere" or "How do you know that the wind directions are like this", how will you answer then?

The fathers of the Council, the magicians before the Council, and other philosophers, who ever spoke of these? Who has ever made inferences or calculations?

He can't necessarily say that it was the God of Nature who inspired him!

Fortunately, the Lord of Thunder did not dig into the details. He looked at the sphere carefully, calculated for a long time, and then suddenly turned his head. With a wave of his hand, [Silent Phantom] dispersed and disappeared without a trace:

"Don't tell anyone these things." He stared at Gretel through the monocle with electric light flowing, and ordered without doubt:

"Including the sphere just now, don't show it to anyone. I will discuss what you said with other legends and ask Mrs. Endor to verify it again. Remember, no matter whether it is true or false, it has nothing to do with you. Son!"

"yes!"

Gretel solemnly accepted the order. The teacher was doing it for his own good. He knew that if things like the Year Without Summer were verified and prepared in advance, it would be a major event that could change the entire world!

He is a seventh-level magician, and he is a seventh-level magician who has not even learned all fourth-level spells. He does not have such big shoulders and cannot bear such a big task.

The teacher took the matter over and tried to eliminate his sense of existence, undoubtedly to protect him.

"Teacher, don't worry, I will never tell anyone, just pretend that I have never mentioned this matter!" Grete promised:

"These days, I am studying magic honestly, immersing myself in the study of medicine, and will never get involved in other things!"

The Lord of Thunder nodded slightly, stood up and walked outside. Grete followed closely and walked to the door. With a bang, the door fell directly on his face:

"You stay here to study! Don't run out!"

Gretel: "..."

No, teacher, why did you put me in solitary confinement again when you disagreed with me?

However, it is impossible for Gretel to open the legendary mage's laboratory by himself. He could only find a seemingly safe corner, hold a magic encyclopedia in his arms, and begin to study it sadly.

The Lord of Thunder went straight to the top of the Tower of Heaven to find Lady Endor. Not long after, all the legends were gathered together again.

"...That's what happened." In front of the legendary mages, the Lord of Thunder confidently took the whole matter on himself:

"Based on the information I have consulted in the past few days and my calculations, the previous predictions are likely to point in this direction. I suggest that we make another prediction to verify the possibility of this development."

Several meaningful glances swept over and over his body. However, no one got to the bottom of it. Everyone worked hard to help Mrs. Endor make another prophecy.

But this time, with a clear prompt, Mrs. Endor accurately locked the direction of the volcanic eruption and even predicted the approximate distance.

Moreover, as she jumped up in the river of time, she did catch a glimpse of the red sunset on the top of Igor Peak.

"The situation is very likely to be true." When the old woman opened her eyes again, she was trembling, and the black gauze was soaked with sweat:

"This may be the biggest crisis for the Parliament, but it may also become the biggest opportunity. Let's discuss how to verify it in detail and how to deal with this disaster!"
