Of course, this person was Adams. He gave Kublai Khan a headache.
He could not catch this person and would come every night to disturb his sleep. Kublai Khan could not do anything about it, so he just listened to him tell stories every day.
Usually, this person would only talk about things that had already happened or make up some weird apocalypse.
Once Kublai Khan listened to him, he would spend the entire night without going to court.
There was no such thing as an apocalypse these days. Just the biochemical apocalypse, the zombie crisis, and the zombie crisis were enough for him to listen to. Not to mention the clone apocalypse, mechanical apocalypse, Zerg apocalypse, and so on. These made his imagination run wild and he could not stop.
Especially recently, he started talking about the apocalypse caused by the collapse of the natural laws.
For example, the freezing point of water would greatly decrease, just like air.
At first, Kublai Khan listened to Adams explain the meaning of the freezing point, saying that it would make it harder for water to freeze and that there would be almost no snow in the world.
Kublai Khan was very happy and said, "Isn't that even better? From now on, the Northern Kingdom will not be covered in snow and ice for thousands of miles. It will be as warm as Jiangnan. "
However, Adams said, "That's not the case. The lowering of the freezing point of water does not mean that there will be no heat. Not only will the Northern Kingdom not be warm, it will be even colder. A type of extremely cold water will appear in the world. Just a little bit of it will cause frostbite. "
"Because ice will only absorb heat from the surface of the human body, but water can permeate."
"When rivers and lakes freeze, it is actually a warm environment for the creatures in the water. It isolates the extreme cold from the outside world and causes the river bed to be warm. However, if the water does not freeze and directly touches all the creatures in the mud and river, then they will all freeze to death. "
"Because the heat conversion rate of water is too high, when the weather becomes extremely cold, the water will also become extremely cold. It will kill all the creatures that absorb the water. When that happens, people will discover a strange phenomenon in the winter. That is, the river will be filled with hard dried fish, but the water will still be lively. "
"This is just a small matter. In the extreme north and south of the world, there are huge glaciers. The land made of ice will instantly liquefy and the tsunamis caused by the water will drown the land. I'm afraid only Tibet will be spared."
Of course, Kublai Khan did not really understand these kinds of things.
But Adams could always use some common language to annotate and help him understand the series of phenomena caused by changes in the laws of nature. Through his explanation, Kublai Khan felt that Adams made a lot of sense.
This world was incomparably exquisite. If the Heavenly Dao changed even a little bit, it would be a disaster for all life.
In the past two months, Khubilai had been listening to Adams with great interest. He felt that Adams seemed to have a unique understanding of the world. This understanding was something that none of the scholars inside or outside of the imperial court had ever talked to him about, nor had they ever thought about it.
Who would treat the matter of a freezing point as a big deal? What the hell was a freezing point? Those Han Chinese always say that it's a big problem if the moral code is often out of order.
Who would have thought that such a small change in the number of heaven and earth would result in an earth-shattering disaster?
Luckily, Khubilai thought, 'There are no ifs in this world. This is how the world should be.'
Therefore, Khubilai listened to Adams's words as if they were stories. He enjoyed it and did not feel any pressure.
He was a person who loved talents. Adams was the most mysterious existence he had ever seen in his life, so he had hoped that Adams could assist him many times.
However, up until now, Adams had not even revealed his identity.
He could not see through his goal. Every time he was asked about his identity, he would say that he was an emissary. As for what emissary he was, Adams would always say, 'Take a guess.'
Therefore, Khubilai Khan said, "The emissary is a great talent. You can always predict the end of the world from a small matter. You can see the big picture from a single leaf, and you can see the big picture from a single spot. Why don't you predict the future of Dayuan? "
Under his coaxing, Adams finally said something about Dayuan's future: Dayuan will be destroyed by the Great Ming.
Of course, he did not think that Adams could predict the future. He only thought that Adams was hinting at his identity.
Adams's faction was extremely mysterious. Since he said that Dayuan would be destroyed by the Great Ming, Khubilai Khan naturally thought that Adams was from the Great Ming. He was bragging that his faction would be destroyed by Dayuan.
Therefore, he went to investigate. He found out that the Zoroastrians worshipped the Great Ming King and Little Ming King. He then traced back and found out that the Zoroastrians came from Persia. The Zoroastrians had already been destroyed by the Ilkhanate. The Ilkhanate was also the first to submit to him and was willing to become his vassal.
Khubilai Khan then guessed that Adams might be the remnants of the destroyed Persian Zoroastrians. Because their main altar was destroyed, they came to the central plains and tried to persuade him to become the state religion. If they failed, they would be committing treason.
"Emissary, last time you said that Dayuan would be destroyed by the Great Ming. I investigated for a long time before I found out that you might be referring to the Zoroastrians … Could you be the emissary of the Persian Zoroastrians?" Khubilai Khan said.
Adams admired Khubilai Khan's imagination.
"Khan, you guessed wrong again. I'm not from the Zoroastrians. Guess again."
Seeing that he was wrong again, Khubilai Khan became impatient. He had guessed so many times and was wrong every time. No matter how patient he was, he could not take it anymore.
Especially since he was worried about the Jiangnan matter, he did not have the time to waste with Adams, "Who are you? What faction is behind you? "
Adams smiled, "I'm someone who can prevent and solve the disaster in the story."
Khubilai Khan laughed. A story was a story. Although he was addicted to it, he did not think much of it.
There were no ifs in the world. What Adams meant was that these 'ifs' would really happen. Then, the emissary and the faction behind him would solve it.
How could Khubilai Khan believe that? He had seen people from Taoism, Buddhism, and Buddhism talk to him about disasters and the balance of the heavens. Their goal was obviously to become the state religion.
Since ancient times, whatever a king believed in would cause a religion to flourish.
Khubilai Khan was not a stupid king. When he heard Adams's words, he felt that it was just another new religion. However, this story was really good, and it was very novel. It was even better at telling stories than Buddhism …
Many religions talked about the end of the world, and they would directly say that the end of the world was coming.
Adams was different. He talked about the end of the world in great detail. He only talked about the end of the world itself, but he did not link the cause of the end of the world to any faction or person. It was not about the king being tyrannical, nor was it about the punishment of the Buddha, nor was it about God being angry. It was about 'suddenly', 'nature', 'if this happened', and 'if this happened'.
"Okay, tell me what kind of religion you are." Khubilai Khan said.
"Great Khan, I told you before. There is a difference between religion and belief. We are not a religion. So, not only do we not want to be something that everyone knows about, we need to be something that no one knows about. You only need to support us. When the supernatural things in the stories happen, we will solve it and take care of it. You … cannot interfere with the secular world. "Adams said.
Khubilai Khan was shocked. This was very rare.
He could understand every sentence, but he could not understand any of it.
What he understood was that after two months of nurturing, he knew what Adams was talking about and what kind of force he was going to build.
But this was also the reason why he could not understand. Was he crazy? What was he after? How could the things in the stories happen?
It was like there were monsters harassing the people during the New Year, so they built an army to guard against them every year. This was not a custom or a tradition. They were really going to fight the monsters.
Khubilai Khan thought about it and felt that it was unrealistic. He only thought that Adams still did not reveal his purpose and was still joking with him.
"Emissary, it's fine that you don't want to reveal your identity, but why do you say that my Dayuan is finished?" Khubilai Khan said in a muffled voice.
Adams rolled his blue eyes and said with a smile, "If the battle in Fishing City drags on for a year and a half, what will you do?"
"It's not impossible to defend the Fishing City for three to five years, not to mention a year and a half. But can most people hold on for that long? "
"I'm afraid that the Great Khan wants to finish the battle in Fishing City as soon as possible and then transfer the army back to quell the rebellion. But in my opinion, this is just wishful thinking. "
Hearing Adams' words, Khubilai Khan was furious, but he swallowed his anger.
His words were too impolite. But in the past two months, he had heard a lot of impolite words. This person did not seem to care about taboos at all and sometimes even called Temujin by his name.
Unfortunately, Khubilai Khan could not do anything about him. This person would often disappear in a blink of an eye. Even if he had a million soldiers, he could not do anything.
Slowly, he started to get used to Adams' way of speaking and only listened to the logic behind it.
"I know that this is very risky, but the heavens are on my side. I am destined to conquer all the lands in the world. How can I let my country fall because of some people?" Khubilai Khan was really bold.
Adams sighed, "The heavens are on your side? Then how did the east expedition to Fusang fail? "
Khubilai Khan's mouth twitched, "Uh … that small country … I can destroy it with a flip of my hand!"
Five years ago, he sent an army to conquer Fusang. It was going well and they had a huge advantage. But because the Mongolian army was camping by the sea, many of the main forces were resting on the boats.
But one night, there was a typhoon … they suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.
When this matter was brought up, Khubilai Khan felt really awkward. In truth, he did not believe in the heavens; he was just really confident. After Adams pointed it out, he felt hatred in his heart and thought that he would conquer that small country. If not, where would he put his face?
When Adams saw the situation, he did not say anything more in case Khubilai Khan decided to launch the second expedition a year earlier.
It would be bad if they didn't encounter the 'Divine Wind' because they activated it in advance and conquered the 'Island Nation'.
However, thinking about it, history had already changed.
Originally, after the battle at Cliff Mountain, Khubilai Khan decided to rest for a year before conquering Fusang. However, now that Cliff Mountain, who had won the only naval battle in Mongolia, had lost, the people's hearts were wavering. As such, the expedition would definitely be delayed by one or two years.
Whether it was earlier or later, the outcome would be different.
Adams shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he raised his right hand.
His right hand was wrapped in a piece of black iron. The black iron was long and straight, like a thick sword. However, it did not have a blade.
It looked thick and thick, and with its black surface, it was pretty much a black iron heavy sword without a blade.
However, this' heavy sword 'in Adams's hand was very light.
In the past two months, Khubilai Khan had seen this' heavy sword 'and could feel a strong sword intent from it. This made him really wary of Adams.
He asked a few times, but Adams did not say anything. This time, Adams seemed like he was going to explain.
"You said that the heavens are in your hands, but did you know that we took the sword of Zhao Song?"
"If we had chosen to stand by and watch, allowing Zhang Shijie to wield this sword, your Dayuan today would have become the shortest-lived Great Unified Dynasty in history," Adams said. What he meant was simple. Without them, Dayuan would have been destroyed a long time ago.
