Nobody interrupted him for even a second, and Adrian ended up engrossed with the book.

“Nadine is going to die.”

“Draco is going to go missing.”

Mya is going to leave Wyvern Peak.”

“The ten battle warriors will die gruesome deaths.”

“Millions of valiant soldiers from Dragon Peak shall rise up.

There were countless more prophecies and countless more insults.

It was as if Hannibal was laughing at Wyvern Peak, or even cursing them. Or perhaps, he was trying to bring it up to greater heights. Regardless, the prophecies written in the book were not completely false.

It was possible Hannibal had indeed come across some kind of unknown knowledge on seers when he wrote this book

At midnight the next day, Adrian sat in his seat and remained deep in thought for a very long time before he finally picked up a lighter and burned the book.

The book eventually became a pile of ashes as it burned away.

“Sir!”

Mya suddenly knocked on the door at that moment and pushed the door open before Adrian gave her permission to

She was originally there to deliver some food to him, but she was stunned when she saw the book burning on the floor and frantically said, “What are you doing, sir?! Why would you burn it?!”

Mya put down the food as she spoke and rushed over to try and put the fire out, but Adrian stopped her from doing so.

She stood up and asked, “What did the book say? What was so important that you’d choose to burn it?‘

Refusing to answer the question, Adrian asked, “Did you find anything else in the church’s hidden room?”

Mya took a deep breath as she recalled her memories.

Bring it here. I’ll have a look at it.”

Mya nodded and asked someone to bring the black metal over. Placing it in front of Adrian, she sat down and said, “See these circular patterns? I’ve gone through some of our records and found that they aren’t ancient letters. They are-

“Runes,” Adrian said before Mya finished.

“Rune?” Mya was slightly stunned.

Adrian nodded and looked at the closely inscribed runes that looked like blood vessels spreading across the entire piece of metal. It may seem chaotic and complex, but it was actually rather organized.

“I’ve seen something like this in an old book. If my guess is correct, these should be runes we’re looking at.”

That are they? How do they function?” Mya asked.

“Runes are extremely complex yet mysterious stuff that can be explained through science, just like a computer, it contains the ability to store things. However, it isn’t data stored in these runes, but power.”

“Power? What sort of power?” Mya asked in surprise.

“An old book states that a minor country somewhere in ancient history had many rune masters when they were at their peak. These people would inscribe runes onto objects that allowed them to pain control of the object by channeling some kind of

power through it.”

“Do you mean that they’re something like artificial intelligence?” Mya asked.

“More or less, but runes have existed for much longer. However, they’re easier to use in comparison to AI, plus even stronger. The flaw to runes is that they serve only one sole purpose while Al is able to perform based on what they’ve been programmed

to do

“Still, they possess extremely terrifying powers,” Adrian explained.
