After Lupuye's voice fell, the air suddenly fell into silence.
No one spoke first.
It wasn't that they didn't want to speak. They just didn't want to be the first to speak. In the past, the first to speak was always the Observer, who would more or less give a prophecy that would determine the future of the conference. In other words, the first to speak might not be able to affect the future, but at least it wouldn't be considered useless.
For example, during the Stargazing Day a year ago, "Innocent Reader" Seurat was the first to speak. His prophecy was about the plane fusion on the Parmigi Highlands.
This was very useful information, and it attracted most of the southern wizard organizations to the Parmigi Highlands.
In comparison, the prophecy from the Stargazing Day was very important. No one present felt that the prophecy they had seen was worthy of being the first to speak.
Thus, everyone fell silent and looked at the eleven Observers in the center. In most people's eyes, the Observer's prophecy was more important than theirs.
However, the group of Observers closed their eyes at this time, and they were not prepared to speak. Some of them felt that Lupye had changed the rules. Since the Prophets were allowed to speak first, they might as well give up their positions.
This was more or less a sign of anger, but it was indeed what some people thought. After all, to them, being the first to speak first was a sense of superiority. They were naturally unhappy that they were forcefully pulled down from the stage.
Of course, even though they felt uncomfortable, they only used this insignificant detail to express their dissatisfaction. If Lupye had asked them to speak first, they wouldn't have deliberately disobeyed.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lupye didn't name any of the Observers. He just let the silence continue.
The silence lasted for a full five minutes.
The Prophets looked at each other. It wasn't that they didn't want to speak, but that they didn't have the right to. Why didn't the Observers take the initiative?
While everyone was waiting impatiently, Maya thought for a moment and decided to be the first to speak up.
She was confused by the apocalyptic scene she saw at the end. She didn't know what was going on, and she was in a hurry to speak with the others.
Thinking of this, Maya said, "Why don't …"
Before Maya could say "I'll go first," a voice that came later but arrived first rang out.
"I'll go first." This voice had a foreign accent, and the tone was high. It was supposed to be cheerful, but it sounded cold and solemn.
Maya was very familiar with the voice. She turned around and saw Dodoro.
Dodoro turned around and looked at Maya. "Let me go first, teacher."
The other Diviners frowned. Dodoro was just an apprentice in the school of Divination. What right did he have to say something like that? What could an apprentice see in Riddles of the Stars? Even if they did see some meaningless clips, did they really have the right to take the responsibility of being the first to speak?
Most of the Diviners didn't like Dodoro's decision. The only reason they didn't criticize Dodoro was that Lupouille seemed to like him a lot. However, they didn't think that Dodoro would be the first to speak.
On the contrary, the group of observers in the center did not show too much emotion. Some of them even showed curiosity and anticipation in their eyes.
Schkel, for example, put away his laziness and looked at Dodoro with a slightly evil look. "Very good. I like people with courage. You're one of the few people I'm looking forward to the most during this Stargazing Day. I'd like to know what you're going to say. "
Schke 'er's words caused all the Prophets to be stunned.
Was Schkel joking? Or was he being sarcastic?
Neither seemed to be the case. Schkel was really looking forward to Dodoro's prophecy. But why would he look forward to the prophecy of an apprentice?
"I thought you only lacked humanity, but now it seems that you've lost your mind as well." A sarcastic voice came from the side. It was Ivan who spoke. He didn't like Dodoro because of what happened during the Stargazing Day.
"I didn't know that communicating with others is a sign of losing one's mind. Why don't our wisest Mr. Ivan not listen to this conference, lest you become more and more stupid. "The speaker was holding a book, seemingly reading, but the corner of his eyes was piercing Ivan.
It was Seurat, the 'Innocent Reader'. He didn't have any grudges against Ivan, but the Mystery item that disappeared from Silver Palm Isle caused him to become enemies with Ivan.
Back then, Ivan had helped Witch Summer Dew lock onto that mysterious item. Seurat, on the other hand, was secretly helping Flunza.
Because of their different standpoints, the differences became bigger and bigger. In the end, it became a tit-for-tat battle, and the dispute even burned until the stargazing day.
Ivan gave Seurat a cold stare and didn't say anything. It wasn't because he was afraid of Seurat, but because if he did, he would fall into Seurat's trap. He couldn't just sit out this meeting.
Ivan didn't say anything to Seurat. Instead, he looked at Dodoro coldly and said, "Last time, you didn't tell me your prophecy. This time, you're asking for it. "
"Fine. You can tell me first. However, you'd better not fool us with meaningless fragments of the future. If you're going to waste our time, don't come to the Stargazing Days anymore. "
Seurat didn't refute Ivan's words this time. Seurat agreed with Ivan. If Dodoro was only talking about the future fragments, there was no need to hold back.
If Dodoro only talked about the future fragments on the second or third day of the Stargazing Day, it would be fine. But now, it was the first day of the meeting, and Ivan was the first to speak. If Ivan really wanted to fool them, they wouldn't let him do it.
The other prophets knew better than to say anything in advance. Since Ivan was an apprentice prophet, he had to bear the pressure.
Ivan's attitude was firm, and the other observers didn't say anything either. Maya looked at Dodoro with a worried look on her face.
Dodoro, on the other hand, was as indifferent as ever. It was as if Ivan's pressure wasn't even as heavy as a feather to Dodoro.
Dodoro's nonchalant attitude made Ivan even angrier. Still, he didn't want to lose face if he continued to threaten Dodoro.
Ivan closed his eyes and pretended to meditate.
Lupanye finally spoke. He looked at Dodoro with a smile and said, "It's been three hundred years since the last Stargazing Day where an apprentice prophet was the first to speak."
At this point, Lupanye glanced at Schker from the corner of his eyes. Three hundred years ago, when Schker was still an apprentice, he had spoken for the first time. At that time, he had been scolded after speaking because his prophecy was worthless. Since then, no apprentice dared to do such a thing.
"I'm glad to see it again."
