Kallen was stunned for a moment, taking a long time to react to what Perfikot had just said. She suspiciously looked at Perfikot, trying to discern from her expression whether it was a joke.
But the expression on Perfikot's face was very solemn, with no hint of joking.
"Are you serious?" Kallen asked again, uncertain.
"Of course. I observed the abnormal decline of Langton's temperatures in winter almost three years ago, and after divinations by the Astrologers of the Royal Astronomical Society, we collectively arrived at the prophecy that the whole world is about to be destroyed." Perfikot explained to Kallen, also clarifying the underlying truth: "The Empire specifically dispatched an expedition team to the Northern Territory, wasting several months to confirm my hypothesis, confirming that the world is about to face an apocalyptic winter within three years."
