Chapter 865 Child Consciousness
??The Dragon Tribe had possessed the precious magical tool known as the Divine Dragon Matrix for at least 500,000 years.",
During this long period, the tribe had used it nearly a thousand times. In every prediction the tool made, whatever it showed always came true in the end.
Even when someone tried to change their own destiny, the essence of the prediction came true, even if in a slightly different way.
Vicente looked at the First Elder in silence, taking the old dragon''sment as a concern for him, not an attempt to discourage him.
"Even if that''s the case, I''ll try to do things differently. What I can''t do is act exactly as I nned before." He stood up under the scrutiny of the First Elder.
"But have you seen your pentagrams?" The old dragon asked after a sigh of disappointment, seeing that things would not be easy for either of them.
"I''ve only seen one."
"That''s strange. Even if the ancestors were trying to help you prepare for a deadly challenge, they shouldn''t have failed to show your two essences." The First Elder of this generation of dragons looked at the tform and felt ufortable.
"Are you sure you only saw one essence? Maybe they showed you two, but you only saw one."
Vicente thought for a moment, but he was sure he had felt only one pentagram.
"I am sure. But this could be hidden advice."
"What do you have in mind?" The dragon was interested in Vicente''s interpretation, even though he thought the boy was wrong about having been led to only one pentagram.
"I have a green pentagram with me that ispatible with my Throne of Darkness. Maybe the predictions they showed me were a message for me to absorb it?" Vicente hypothesized.
"Oh? So you already have an essence with you?" opening his mouth, the old dragon saw sense in Vicente''s hypothesis. "Maybe that''s it. I still think there could be a second pentagram in the visions you''ve had, but if I''m wrong, maybe the elders have left this hidden advice for you."
Vicente looked at his spatial ring and thought to himself.
''If that''s the case, I can get my fifth pentagram before my meeting with Demien Bloodthorne... That could save me from dying that day.''
Torne heard this and said. ''We better wait until you find the cyan pentagram you im to have seen, master. Let''s prevent a change in your ns from causing this pentagram not to appear where you saw it.''
''Torne, are you awake?'' Vicente was surprised.
''Yes, I was strangely sealed when you entered the tform. I didn''t see what you saw, but I was at your side.'' The ghost exined.
''So that was it. It seems that the powers of this tool are truly incredible.'' Vicentemented as he found himself in his space of consciousness. ''Anyway, I''m going to do what you suggested. When I find the cyan pentagram I saw, I''ll absorb it and the green pentagram at the same time.
The consciousness of the Throne of Darkness heard this being said in its direction and couldn''t ignore it. ''Have you forgotten what we talked about earlier?''
''Would you rather die than absorb this green pentagram?''
''I don''t know what you''re talking about. I didn''t see your vision either.'' Said the essence of Vicente''s second magical form, somewhat displeased with how easily its user could be manipted. ''If you try to absorb this green essence, I will reject it and it will vanish.''
''Huh? If you do that, I''ll stop cultivating you and focus entirely on my maic powers.'' Vicente narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Throne of Darkness.
''You wouldn''t be so stupid!''
''I will absorb the green pentagram in your fourth space. Don''t forget our positions here. I am your master.''
''Ungrateful human! I''ve saved you many times!'' said the voice of the throne''s conscience, showing a rebellious aura against Vicente.
''Let me save you this time, then. I''ll do as Torne suggested. First, I''m going to find the cyan pentagram I saw. When I''ve confirmed that it''s the only one that appears in that ce, I''ll absorb the green pentagram and it.''
''Tsk! Do whatever you want. Just don''t regret itter!''
Torne watched the figure return to its resting position in that space and couldn''t help but sigh.
''Don''t worry about it, master. The consciousness of Magic Gems can be very sensitive and protective of what is best for it and its user. But it''s no different from a child with power. Sooner orter, it will mature and be more understandable.''
Vicente sighed as he turned his attention back to where he was standing with the Advanced Archmage of the Dragon Tribe.
"Elder, can you say how far into the future the matrix can show us? In my second vision, I can more or less imagine its time. But in the first, I saw almost nothing that could help me."
"I''m afraid I can''t help you with that. Your vision could be tomorrow or ten years from now. But if you''re in doubt, travel to the Elves Tribe. They''ll be able to help you."
"The elves? Thanks for the advice. I''ll do that." Vicentemented to the dragon as he stepped down from the tform, not changing his ns too much, as he had already nned to go to that tribe on this journey through the Majestic Treefrog Grove.
"Sigh! About what we talked about earlier, I hope the matrix has made its first mistake. I really want to believe that you will go to the Upper Continent in the future. You would be a great help to our ancestors by working to reconnect us with them."
"I will certainly do my best, Elder. I doubt the four dragons will let me off the hook for my obligation to them by letting me die so easily." Vicente said with a smile on his face, trying to think positively about the future he had seen.
"Hmm, I hope so. For now, stay with the tribe for a few days. I have something that won''t take you to the next level, but it might help you on your journey. This item is in the Dragon''s Secret Treasure, which is only opened on full moons. So stay with us until then. It will help you in your future travels."
"I thank the elder for his generosity." Vicente didn''t refuse and readily agreed to stay with the tribe for a few more days.
