Interdimensional Farming in Another World

Chapter 71 Prophecy

?

No one made a noise after that. Even the people that came with the prince of the Volcanic Dragon tribe. 

There was a tier 5 warrior among them. They had no right to complain from that moment on. And what does complaining achieve in front of a tier 5 warrior?

Kalina wanted to know who the lady was. She was just a bit older than her. And yet, she was a tier 5 warrior. This shocked her. 

As far as she can remember, she was among the top ten most talented people in the entire continent. And yet, she never knew of the existence of such calibre.

Was there a person like that in the divine butterfly tribe? She mused.

The divine butterfly tribe was one of the weakest tribes among the nine great tribes. Even though they have multiple tier 5 warriors. They were not combat-oriented like the volcanic dragon tribe or the ice phoenix tribe. 

Therefore, their warriors were always weaker than the combat-oriented tribes. The same could be said for the tier 5 warrior of the divine butterfly tribe.

But this doesn't mean they can be looked down upon. Their ability to peer into the future was considered one of the most important abilities of any tribe. It allowed the central continent to flourish in dangerous times. They could sense danger before it happened and react accordingly. 

They were also the ones who predicted the calamity of the demon. They were the first ones to realize the damage it would do. Not one prophecy from the oracle of the divine butterfly tribe was wrong. This notion secured their rightful palace among the nine great tribes. 

Although oracles were present in each tribe. Not all oracles have the ability to see the future. Usually, oracles convey a message from their spirit guardian to the tribesmen. But the oracle of the divine butterfly tribe can peer into the future and deduce certain outcomes. 

And this was not without cost. When the oracles peer into the future. Their life span will be heavily damaged. They are giving up their future for the future of the world. 

So, no one dares to disrespect the divine butterfly tribe. This was the reason why the elders of the other tribes gave importance to the presence of someone from the divine butterfly tribe.

They didn't know she was a tier 5 warrior until she showed her strength. 

The Prince Parv of the Volcanic tribe acted inappropriately without knowing that.

No one came to the rescue of Parv after that. They looked at him with pity and ignored him.

Chitra, the beautiful tier 4 warrior from the divine butterfly tribe took her seat silently. 

The meeting continued without the representative of the Volcanic Dragon tribe. 

"The evil organisation has its tentacles spread across the entire central continent. I think we should create a squad to detect and capture them. After capturing them, we can extract information about their activities. Wouldn't that be better than letting them run amok?" One of the elders spoke. He was from the Iron Mountain tribe.

Like the Volcanic dragon tribe, they were not attacked by the evil organisation. It might have been due to their city being situated near the eastern side of the central continent. Either way, as a person without any contact with the evil organisation, his thought process was simple. 

He thought it was easy to capture the members of the evil organisation. He even thought it would be easy to extract information from them.

"Ha ha… It's not that simple. We have tried capturing the enemy. But, their members are death soldiers. They will kill themselves rather than let out the information about their organisation. The black-robed bastards are hard to deal with." The elder from the void fish tribe explained. 

"The black-robed bastards? Is it what you are calling them?" 

"Why not? They don't deserve a good name."

"I agree!"

"If I was in my prime, I would have entered the battle to search and find these pests. It would have been easy for me. Anyway, I will send search parties inside the domain of my tribe to find the members of the black-robed bastards. You do the same."

"Yes, we can do it." Someone agreed.

"How about hiding this information from the public? We don't want to spook everyone. It would do nothing good for us to let the public know that there are powerful people out there that can destroy one of the nine great tribes in a day." Another one suggested.

"Yes, that's correct. Let's hide the information from the public." Another yes man nodded his head in response. 

"....."

"...."

"If there is nothing more to say, we can end the meeting here."

The elders rambled on for hours before deciding to end the meeting. 

The conversation was going nowhere. Even though they convened to share information, they had nothing noteworthy to share. They talked about the atrocities committed by the evil organisation and how to punish them. But they have yet to gain any conclusive evidence that can point to the identity of the evil organisation. 

Kalina quickly realised that she couldn't let the meeting end like this. So, she was about to suggest something to focus everyone's attention. 

"How about letting the ice phoenix tribe…" Kalina tried to speak. 

"I have a prophecy to share."Before she could finish the rest of her words, the tier 5 warrior of the divine butterfly tribe, Chitra interjected. 

And the word prophecy grabbed everyone's attention. They all turned to focus on Chitra.

"The reason that I appeared today was to share the prophecy. Before that, I wanted to see how you will try to deal with the imminent danger. However, I am grossly disappointed by what I saw. The elders here have no vision for the future. You talk between yourself cautiously while trying not to offend anyone. You try to secure the best position for your tribe without thinking about the general public, the weaker tribes that reside in your domain. Is this what it means to be an elder of the nine great tribes? To say I am disappointed is a gross understatement." Chitra said while rubbing her temples.

She didn't know what to do with them. Are they even capable of understanding the significance of the prophecy? She thought in her mind. 

The elders were acting like seasoned politicians. Due to them living in peaceful times, they have forgotten how to deal with dangerous situations. They were weak-willed and predictable.

"Huh…" Chitra sighed. Nonetheless, she conveyed the prophecy to the elders. 

"The prophecy was told like this - After a decade, the greatest evil known to man shall descend upon the central continent, like a plague that seeks to consume all in its path. Its power shall be unparalleled. And it shall bring death and destruction to all who stand in its way. But do not lose hope, for there is a hero among us, destined to rise against the darkness. Find him, protect him, for his fate is entwined with the fate of all. He shall be the saviour who brings light to the shadows, and through his bravery and sacrifice, he shall triumph over the greatest of evils." 

"Easy to understand, right?" 

After Chitra said the prophecy, everyone relaxed. 'After a decade.' They were more focused on the word decade in the whole prophecy. It meant that there is a lot more time for them to prepare and act on it.

The prophecy was giving them an early warning about the upcoming danger. They didn't know if the prophecised danger was the evil organisation or not. But, with that much time, it would be easy to figure that out.

And they could find the hero in that time too.

Everything became much clearer for the elders. They wanted to thank Chitra and move on. They wanted to hurry up and relay this news to their tribal leaders. After that, they can gain praise and relax peacefully.

"If that's all, may I leave? I need to relay this information to our leader." One of the elders said. He was ready to get up and leave.

"Che…" Chitra scoffed seeing the relaxed expression on the elder's face. She wanted to see how long that relaxed expression will last. 

"Oh! Did I forget to explain it correctly? Last year, our matriarch went to close-door meditation. And this prophecy was relayed to her then. But, when she went into closed-door meditation last week. A new prophecy was given to her." Chitra said this and stopped.

Once again, all eyes were gathered on her. She knew the next few words she was going to say would not make any sense. But she had to do it. Or else, this world is done for. She believed that wholeheartedly. 

"Don't worry. I have yet to say it. The prophecy didn't have much change. Other than, 'After a decade' becoming 'After a year.' So, we have one year instead of one decade to find the hero and save the world. Now that I have conveyed the prophecy, we can go on our separate ways." Saying that she left the room.
