Valencia, located at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, is the most dazzling pearl on the West Bank of the Mediterranean. It is also the top three city and the second largest seaport in Spain.
As early as more than 100 years ago, the Romans built the initial prototype of the city here. Later, it was carried forward in the hands of the Arabs and entered the era of great navigation. It is also one of the important supply ports of the Spanish invincible fleet.
It can be said that whether from the perspective of history or from the perspective of modernity, Valencia is worthy of an important city standing on the European continent.
However, few people know that this is actually the birthplace of the prophecy witch family in the underground world, and it is also the only place where at least one qualified prophet will be bred in each generation.
At the moment, in the ancient castle on the outskirts of the city, an old woman with long silver hair and her whole body like an air dried corpse is sitting in a wheelchair, as if she could swallow her last breath and leave the world at any time.
Not far from her, the mysterious man who had been ordered by ansia knelt on one knee and reported in a slightly sad voice: "the great Camilla de Silva Velasquez, I regret to inform you that your granddaughter has died and was killed on the streets of New York."
"Who killed her?" the old man with a long list of names did not show any sadness. Instead, he raised his head slightly and showed an expression of interest.
"He is a famous Oriental in the underground world recently. In addition, ancia seems to believe that he is the 14th son of destiny repeatedly mentioned in the prophecy." the man gave the answer without thinking.
There is no doubt that his present attitude is both humble and obedient, which is just two extremes from his previous defiance in the face of Anxia.
"Oh? Did the fourteenth son of fate appear? Anxia couldn't wait to take the power of fate from each other, but was killed?" Camilla flashed a fine light inconsistent with her age in her eyes, slightly raised her mouth and showed a smiling expression.
The man nodded seriously: "You guessed right! Anxia used the power of taboo to try to seize part of her destiny through forced contract, but the Oriental was more alert than expected and successfully resisted the temptation. Moreover, I think he seems to have obtained a lot of secrets from Anxia's memory through some mysterious magic. You'd better be careful."
"Be careful? Why should I be careful? No, you don't understand. If I hadn't been too old to leave, I would have gone to New York to meet him in person. Anxi Asia Pacific is self righteous and doesn't know who he is going to face. But I'm different. I've prepared for this day for a hundred years. Now, you give this book to the 14th destiny for me Son of, tell him to come and see me within three months. "
With that, the old woman trembled, stretched out her arm and pressed the base of the statue in front of her.
Accompanied by a click sound from the operation of the mechanism, the thick parchment books hidden behind the wall were exposed.
"The book of prophecy?! are you sure you want to give such an important thing to an outsider?" the man stared in surprise.
"I don't want to explain too much. Just do what I say. In addition, as long as you do this well, I promise to release you before you die and let you regain your freedom."
"From... Freedom..."
Although Camilla's tone did not fluctuate at all when she said these words, the man's body continued to tremble slightly, and some parts could not even maintain a fixed shape to form a large black smoke, which shows how excited she was in her heart.
A whole minute later, he picked up the heavy parchment books, bent down and bowed deeply, followed by a cloud of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Watching the torch hanging on the basement wall of the castle wall, the old woman touched her chin and muttered in a voice that only she could hear: "patience! Patience! Camilla! If he is really the person mentioned repeatedly in the prophecy, any rash action is stupid. I must wait for him to come to me, not me to find him."

Meanwhile, in New York on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Zhang Cheng hid at his desk alone, dealing with some business trifles.
In particular, the cultivation base covering a huge area has been completed, and many magic plants have been transplanted. His ambitious mother kept urging him to greatly increase the output in the shortest time.
Of course, this is not the most troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that the nominal father has been in New York for such a long time, but he has never been seen from beginning to end. He only occasionally sends someone to send some strange gifts, such as beautiful coral decorations, one or two wild pearls salvaged from the bottom of the sea, and so on.
It has to be said that as an expert and scholar engaged in public welfare and marine biological protection, this behavior is really a little confusing.
"It's a strange and strange family relationship..." Zhang Cheng threw aside his gadget and opened the computer to make complaints about the twenty-four hour surveillance camera.
As he expected, with the launch of the enlarged version of the arcane garden, the intensity of magic energy in the plant has far exceeded that of the outside world, and even grew faster than watering directly with the well water of the sun well.
It is estimated that the first batch of low-grade herbs can enter the harvest stage in less than a week.
Although the efficacy may not be as good as those wild ones, it is not much worse. At least ordinary people can't feel it.
Just when he hesitated to go in person tomorrow, a strong black smoke suddenly came out of thin air in the study, slowly forming the appearance of a young man, holding a heavy book in his arms, caressing his chest with one hand and leaning slightly: "Hello, strong son of fate. I have been ordered by Camilla de Silva Velasquez to give you this book and convey a message. You must meet her at the castle on the outskirts of Valencia within three months."
"Camilla de Silva Velasquez?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.
Because he had never heard the name in his mind, and he didn't understand why the other party gave him a book for no reason.
"Yes! She has a granddaughter named Anxia, who just died in your hands today. But don't worry, Camilla doesn't mean to be against you, and she doesn't care about her granddaughter's life or death. She only cares about one thing, that is to talk to you face-to-face. Finally, she's dying, so if you don't want to miss any important information, be sure Start as soon as possible. "
As the last word fell, the man gently put the book in his arms on the table. The whole man turned into a black room and went out along the crack of the door.
Zhang Cheng didn't mean to stop the other party from leaving. He just opened the first page of the ancient book and was firmly attracted by the content described inside
