Chapter 632 (1/2)
Apart from those aforea had yet to reveal his fullest potential By reflecting a little, even within such a treacherous environensha and the Growth-hunter Reef had ainst the overflowing vast sea and exhibited great heroisa’s untapped potential, or perhaps, his aa was helplessly running out of fables, he sudden cast an earnest countenance and declared ”I just recalled another legend, one that at this point in tihly about a dozen years ago”
When Sheyan heard ‘about a dozen years’, his heart instantly thu, didn’t that coincide with the period Little Lord Fokke visited this continent of Africa, to plunder the ‘Stairway of the Sun’?
Sheyan ia
”Quick, tell a scratched his head as he begun
”When the season of dryness and rain alternates a full round for eight individual’s worth of fingers, then shall a treles ither, and the flow of the river shall cease Scorched dry crevices will appear throughout the earth, and the great wetlands shall shrink”
Sheyan understood that the changes in the four seasons and teion, where winters wouldn’t be excessively cold Therefore, these aborigines had straightforwardly segregated to seasons of the year into two phases – the season of dryness and the season of rain Therefore, every time the season alternates a full round, it represents a year
An average person only has 10 fingers Thus, eight individuals would add up to 80 fingers This indicated the legend referred to so that occurred approximately once every 80 years
”A tre Sheyan thought of was – Halley’s Comet
Halley’s Cohly every 76 years Moreover, it was so incredibly distinct that every huly, the period of tihly coincided with it, of course, one cannot expect the astronoe of a calendar of these natives to be on par with the Greenwich Observatory
As for the other contents of the fable, it basically details the signs of a widespread drought approaching…therefore, Mbenga’s legend was undoubtedly indicating a foreshadowing; that once Halley’s Coht would occur
Hence, Sheyan could immediately make an audacious deduction – ”Could it be, the reason Little Lord Fokke and his gang had painstakingly awaited her for over 5 ht?? Dare I say this represents that, the secret underground passageway into the inner core reaches of the Kijuju Marshland, will only surface when the drought arrives? Inferring a step further, the ht would be a water source”
”Hence! During norround river! Only when the flow of the river ceases during the drought, would it tacitly covert into a secret infiltrating channel! As for the Ndipaya barbarians, regardless of how vigilant they eways into their tribe They would never take notice of a seely impossible and untraversable channel of access The channel of an absolutely safe underground river!”
”Moreover, under normal circumstances, even the bravest of Ndipaya barbarians wouldn’t dare to juround river An exploration into that river may very possibly be a journey of no return!”
”This is sufficient to explain why Bernard Fokke, an ordinary man, could successfully steal a ‘Stairway of the Sun’, and how his descendants could follow accordingly; repeating the feat and acquiring that strange yet invincible ‘Stairway of the Sun’ flower! That is because…an exploitable flaw like this, is seeuarded”
When Bernard Fokke had plundered their ‘Stairway of the Sun’ by taking advantage of the secret underground passageway centuries ago, the Ndipaya tribe elders would definitely have exhorted the next generation; be on guard of infiltration froe longevity of these Ndipaya tribesmen was at most forty plus years Whatever cultural traditions of inheritance, would be passed down through pri ine the preservation date of the elders’ warnings
Yet at this h Little Lord Fokke’s infiltration enjoyed full preparations, favourable tiraphical conditions, the current Sheyan didn’t possess even a single one of those three elements
Firstly, it had been ht had appeared, Halley’s Co the Earth’sobt! The advantage of time was still present, but this time, skewed towards the Ndipaya’s side
