Chapter 1394 Watch
Watch of Destiny / Watch of Fate / Oracle Dial / Oracle Watch / Watch of Augury / Omen Watch / Watch of Future Telling / Premonition Dial
A wearable watch that is capable of telling the future of the person who wears it. The owner of this treasure is granted vague premonition about the future and the period of time when it is going to occur.
There are 5 sets of future the watch can tell from, based on the colors on the dial.
A White dial represents a perfectly normal future with nothing bad or good happening in the near future.
A Blue dial represents something exciting or lucky being in the owner's immediate future.
A Green dial represents something good or satisfying in the owner's immediate future.
A Red dial represents something sad or tragic being in the owner's immediate future.
A Black dial represents a very abnormal future with something very bad, possibly fatal, happening in the near future.
The maximum time known to be shown through this watch has been 8 hours and 33 minutes in the past. Ning, Jasmine, Tim, and the man read through the text that had appeared in the book.
"What is that book?" the man asked, but nobody answered. "A watch that can tell the future," Tim said softly and stared at the watch in front of him. The watch was a pocket watch made to fit like a wearable watch with leather straps created to perfectly hold the pocket watch.
Ning let go of the man's arm and the man quickly grabbed the watch and took it back. "Don't take my watch without my permission," the man said. "You have no right to do so."
"Is that how you thank us for saving you over there?" Jasmine asked, gesturing in the distance. The young man looked and his eyes went wide to see that his 'dying' body was left alone by the people on a small chair of sorts.
"You do realize we healed you back to normal, right?" Jasmine asked.
"You did?" he asked.
"Well, no," Jasmine answered. "He did."
Ning closed the book and it vanished somewhere within. "I finished reading the entire thing, and nowhere does it say that the watch can tell you the future. It can only tell you how the future is going to be."
Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that. Tim and Jasmine snickered as well. It was a truly hilarious sight to see someone wear two watches on one wrist.
The man slowly rolled down his sleeves. "I see we still have 5 hours before we arrive," he said and stood up to leave. "If you will excuse me, I will go rest now."
Tim and Jasmine moved aside to let the man walk away.
"What's your name?" Ning asked just as he was leaving.
The man stopped. "Tony," he replied. "Tony Scardon."
Tim's eyes widened suddenly. "Dr Tony Scardon?" he asked. "From the University of Hansworth?"
Tony looked at Tim. "You know of me?" he asked.
"I do," Tim quickly said. "I am Timothy. I'm a student at the University of Tremala. My father follows your work and so do I. Your work in understanding the reason behind the existence of Zurin Treasures is truly a wonderful research subject."
The man stood with a slightly more prideful look on his face. "Well, I can't take all the credit myself. I have a group of people helping me, but still, thank you."
"Research on Zurin Treasure's existence?" Ning asked.
"About how they come to be. What the mist is and such," Tim answered.
"What is there to learn?" Jasmine asked. "Zurinus creates these things. Everyone knows that."
"That's not entirely possible," Tony answered. "So, I am seeking real answers."
Ning smiled softly. "Are you curious? Should I tell you?" he asked.
Tony looked back. "You have the answer?" he asked.
Ning's smile grew wider.
The countdown on Tony's watch ended.
