0587 Return
Bryan, who had collapsed on the ground, even forgot the pain that had not yet been completely calmed in his soul. His eyes were wide open, staring in utter disbelief at the starry sky that had suddenly appeared above him, only to start collapsing moments later. The shock was so astonishing that Bryan's thoughts were frozen by the sheer incredulity of it all.
"In the starry sky lies your way home!" the mysterious voice had said.
But what could that possibly mean? What does it mean to have his way home in the starry sky?!
Bryan struggled to wrap his mind around the cryptic message. He hadn't been this utterly shocked in many long years. His breath became rapid and shallow as his brain worked intensely, desperately pondering this question. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he dared not believe it!
Beside him, the elderly centaur Horn stood equally dumbstruck, his face was filled with pure astonishment. For over a millennium, the centaurs had faithfully guarded this secret chamber and the clay tablet it contained. In all those long centuries, nothing had ever disturbed the heavy veil of time that lay over this place. It was as if the flow of time itself had frozen here.
But then this human, Bryan Watson, had touched the ancient tablet, and everything changed in an instant. The tablet vanished without a trace and an old voice abruptly gave a revelation!
Though he had never heard it before, Horn had little doubt as to whom that aged, powerful voice must belong to. The conclusion was almost certain.
Falling to his knees, tears welling in his eyes, the old centaur gasped in awe, "This is a revelation from the great sage, Merlin!"
But there was no time to ponder the implications of this shocking realization. No sooner had the tablet disappeared than the chamber around them began to shimmer and shake. As if this chamber seemed to have lost its necessity to exist, like flakes of old paint peeling away, the glorious starryscape flickered and faded, showing rough, gray-brown stone walls to Bryan and Horn!
Rustle--
The shaking within their field of vision continued. With an ominous rumble, the ancient stone blocks started to crack and tumble down. A flood of foul-smelling black sludge began pouring into the chamber from all sides, indicating the structure's imminent collapse.
It went without saying that Horn also knew that this chamber probably could not be saved, but he himself did not want to die here.
Horn turned around and galloped for the exit with his hooves clattering on the uneven stones. But after barely clearing the threshold, he suddenly froze, casting a conflicted glance back at the weakened Bryan still struggling to rise to his feet.
A trace of struggle flashed in Horn's turbid eyes. Without time to think too much, he rushed back to Bryan's side and bent his front knees.
"Quickly, Mr. Watson!" he urged. "You must climb on my back! We have to get out of here right away before it all comes down on our heads!"
Bryan looked at Horn in surprise, not expecting the centaur to be willing to come back for him, he could only nod his thanks. "You have my deepest gratitude, Horn," he said sincerely, before hoisting himself up onto the centaur's back without further ado.
Horn surged to his feet and charged out of the disintegrating chamber. Seconds later, with a final heaving groan, the domed roof collapsed entirely, and the black sludge swallowed up the room.
The disappeared tablet of destiny, the mysterious object the centaurs had guarded for more than a thousand years, disappeared after he touched it. Oh, it couldn't be said that it disappeared. This mysterious clay tablet was now in his body. Although he couldn't feel it and didn't know why this happened, it had indeed entered his body.
This was undoubtedly something that Merlin had arranged long ago, or rather, had foreseen. This legendary great wizard was indeed able to see through the secrets of the future.
But most importantly, one phrase echoed in his mind like a ringing bell: "In the starry sky lies your way home."
Obviously, this was a revelation Merlin left for him, not for Horn. Bryan had always had a feeling that this series of events was not unrelated to his identity as a transmigrator. What happened tonight, that revelation, undoubtedly provided evidence for this guess.
Way home. What does it mean, does he have a chance to return to the Earth of his previous life?!
Moreover, after the clay tablet entered his body, the door that suddenly flashed into his mind, of the same substance as the clay tablet, was extremely majestic and mysterious, exuding an indescribable aura. He was wearing the clothes of his previous life. It seemed to be a soul state, passing through that door. Where was that door, when did it happen? He had no memory of it at all!
Since realizing that he had transmigrated into the magical world of Harry Potter, Bryan had been trying his best to recall the plot for a considerable period of time. But no matter how hard he tried, those memories remained hidden in a flowing gray mist, unable to appear.
He remembered many things from his previous life, but the memories related to the plot were the most cleanly blocked. Bryan had guessed that this was most likely the work of the intangible but real will of the world. This was the most reasonable explanation. But based on the current situation, that was not the case. The possibility that his memory had been tampered with was extremely high!
'Was it Merlin?'
But that doesn't make sense. He had only been born in this world for a little over twenty years, while Merlin had disappeared more than a thousand years ago. Unless, Merlin had never died and had been lurking all along?
"Mr. Watson."
Bryan's gradually heavier breathing and the changing expressions on his face fell into Horn's eyes. The doubts brought to him by what had just happened were equally great. He asked tentatively, and then his voice woke Bryan Watson from his contemplation. This famous young wizard suddenly raised his head, his stern gaze pointing directly at him with a silent murderous intent swirling!
This sense of impending doom instantly stunned the old centaur in place, unable to move, while Bryan came back to his senses only after a few seconds. He rubbed his brow and sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, Horn, I was just thinking about something. Hmm, it's like this--"
Bryan slowly stood up. Under Horn's horrified gaze, a wand appeared in Bryan Watson's palm.
"You must understand that what happened in the chamber just now is of great importance to me and cannot be known by others, so..."
