Just as Lin thought, this old skeleton dragon's internal structure was' a little 'different.
Generally speaking, its body structure was the same as other skeletal dragons, but its vocal cords were special. It could emit some subtle sounds, and when the sound was transmitted and reflected back, it could sense objects around it, including the color-changing spy.
It might be able to sense the weather with this ability. In fact, most species, including plants, could sense the weather, but skeletal dragons could not. Lin speculated that it was due to their developed brains that some of their original sensory abilities were weakened.
But this old skeleton dragon was different. Its ability was quite strange because other skeletal dragons did not have it. At the same time, its brain nerves seemed to be slightly more developed. In short, it was reflected in its memory, which was much clearer than other skeletal dragons …
"What are you doing? How can a young dragon be so unreasonable! " The old skeleton dragon pushed the spy away and said, "You may be in a hurry, but you can't be so casual!"
Although this skeleton dragon had a strong memory, it was not very good at reading people's expressions. Lin did not say anything, and the spy did not seem to be in a hurry.
However, Lin reckoned that some Skeletal Dragons would often ask her questions. That was the role of a prophet. Not only could they predict the weather, but they could also predict the 'fate' of other dragons, the chance of having a shell, and so on.
It could sense the weather with its own ability, but other things …
"Did you hear that? A young dragon should be 'polite' and show respect to an old dragon," the old White Skeleton Dragon went on. Speaking of which … They had a word called 'polite'. It was mainly to pose, speak in a steady tone, and sometimes use some special words to show 'politeness'.
"Then, ask some questions." Lin had the spy say, "Prophet, according to the records on the stone slab, you have been recording history for generations. But do you know how you were first born?"
"What kind of question are you talking about?!" The old skeleton dragon seemed to be angry. But it soon calmed down and said, "I told you, young dragons should not be too impatient. I'm old, and I've seen too many dragons like you. You're just too impatient and always come up to ask weird questions. I think you still have a long way to go. Work hard and you'll be rewarded."
"Back then, there were many young dragons who kept asking me that. They made me prophesy for them and asked me some strange questions. Like I said, young dragons shouldn't be like this all the time. The most important thing is to do well in the present. Only then can you lay down a solid foundation for the future. "
… This White Skeleton Dragon was really interesting. Why did it have so much to say? Was it because its brain was special? No, Lin believed that it was purely a matter of personality.
Perhaps this White Skeleton Dragon had a habit of teaching its younger White Skeleton Dragons, even though it did not feel like it was actually teaching them anything.
"I didn't ask you that much," the spy said. "You only need to answer, how did the Prophet appear?"
"You …" The old Skeleton Dragon seemed to be angry again. Then, it seemed to be unable to say anything.
It seemed like it didn't know. Was it trying to cover up its ignorance by saying so much? Although it didn't seem to be able to get anything out of it, based on its ability, it might be able to figure out the mystery behind this group of Prophets.
Lin looked around the room. Aside from some plants, there didn't seem to be anything special. However, Lin noticed a small crack on one of the walls.
This was rather suspicious …
With that in mind, Lin asked the spy to walk towards the wall. Seeing this, the old Skeleton Dragon immediately stood up and said, "What are you trying to do?"
The spy ignored it. Instead, it stuck its finger into the crack and pulled hard. After a series of noises, a room suddenly appeared behind the stone door.
So that's how it is. It really is a hidden room …
"Don't go in there! Don't you understand? Guards! "The old White Skeleton Dragon yelled," Guards, come over here quickly! This is trespassing … "
Before it could finish, the spy poked it again. This time, it fell to the ground and shut up completely.
Lin walked into the room. It was very narrow, but there were some stone slabs piled up here. Many things were written on them.
Lin found that most of them were … 'diaries'. That's right, this was the old Skeleton Dragon's life record. It recorded all kinds of things it encountered in its life, including the success or failure of each prophecy.
There weren't any practical records. Lin continued to look through the stone slabs. This Skeleton Dragon seemed to have written down its daily life very clearly. This led Lin to see a lot of useless things. After rummaging for a while, she found a smaller stone slab under all the stone slabs.
This slab had the words' Prophet's Rules' written on it.
This stone slab seemed to have something more useful. Some things about Prophets were written on it.
It said that Prophets could only breed with other Prophets and could not breed with other Skeleton Dragons. Lin already knew this.
Second: Prophets must pray to their Creator every day and night.
Third: Prophets can't eat trilobites and fish … Why is this?
Fourth: Prophets can't make more than five prophecies in a day and night …
Fifth: Prophets can't shout … It seemed that the Skeleton Dragon didn't abide by this rule.
… Most of the records seemed to be similar to this, with many strange rules. At the very bottom, Lin finally saw a sentence: [The Foreseers' ancestors were created by the Creator. The purpose of your lives is to guide your companions to the path of prosperity, to convey the Creator's will, and to record all history.]
So that's how it is. As expected.
Lin believed that these Prophets were the special Skeletal Dragons that the Creator had 'created'. The Creator had allowed these Skeletal Dragons to breed inbred so that they could retain their special abilities.
They should be ordinary Skeleton Dragons. Perhaps the Creator had some kind of influence on some of the Skeleton Dragon's young, causing them to have some special organs …
But it was unknown whether they kept this inbreeding, because it was very likely to cause problems. It seemed that the Creator used to have a lot of Prophets, but now there were fewer and fewer of them. In this generation, besides this old Skeleton Dragon, there was another one in the Sea Castle. There were only two Prophets in total.
And they were of the same sex. In that case, it seemed that the Prophets were going to disappear … Heavens.
