Chapter 676


    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 wasughing 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 notpletely false.


    It was possible Hannibal had indeede 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.


    I was just about to speak to you about that, sir. We found something really strange inside. It’s a ck


    piece of metal with a lot of textures on it. It doesn’t seem like any ordinary metal.”


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


    Mya nodded and asked someone to bring the ck metal over. cing it in front of Adrian, she sat


    down and said, “See these circr 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 andplex, 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 extremelyplex yet mysterious stuff that can be exined 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 inparison to


    AI, plus even stronger. The w 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 exined.
