Chapter 304: The true meaning of fate

Views:

Will the believers of the fate witch not believe in fate

This question seemed absurd, but it was like five thunderbolts, and Alice was stunned in an instant.

"I... I... Of course... Believe in... Destiny..."

Alice answered eagerly, but her tone became smaller and weaker.

Ever since she had a strange space talent, she regarded it as an instinct of her own, and never traced back to its source to dig out its source. As for the illusory "fate" that endowed her with all of this, except that Alice would inadvertently think of it and praise her a few words in her spare time, and during the days when she was an apprentice, "fate" was like a god that didn't exist , there is no sense of existence at all.

There are less than nine years left until the selection ceremony of the Witch of Fate. It is conceivable that at that time, all the guys who have awakened the talent of the fate witch's bloodline will gather in the Northland to decide the real fate witch.

And there is only one place for the Witch of Destiny!

Once one of the awakened people holds a ceremony to officially become a fate witch, the rest of the awakened people will die in pain, and gather all the power of fate on the real fate witch. So, eight years later, Alice is either alive or dead.

At that time, she will face the first life and death limit on her destiny journey!

So what is it that determines her fate

strength? Of course, if Alice has the strength of a second-tier wizard eight years later, it will not be a problem to sweep the rest of the awakened. At that time, it is absolutely impossible for someone to take away the title of Witch of Fate from her.

But is this possible

Eight years, whether it is long or not, is not short.

If Alice works hard enough, she is sure to be promoted to a formal wizard, but it is absolutely impossible to be promoted to a second-level wizard! It is conceivable that there must not be a small number of awakened people who can become wizards at that time, but why can she stand out from the crowd of awakened people and overwhelm the females

Her spatial talent is indeed excellent enough, and her strength is also strong enough, but how much worse is the talent of other awakened people than her

In this cruel competition of life or death, no awakened person would willingly give up his life to save others. Therefore, the selection of the Witch of Fate will inevitably be extremely cruel and bloody. Those awakened who are not prepared, or are not prepared enough, are destined to only become the stepping stone for others to move forward.

They will watch others step up to the high platform of fate step by step in the miserable wailing, and then take away all the talents, bloodlines and abilities that originally belonged to them!

Thinking of that extremely tragic and terrifying scene, Alice's little face turned pale with fright.

For the first time in her life, Alice felt that she was full of inexhaustible energy. She clenched her small fists and tried to cheer herself up.

"Alice, you can do it. Come on, work hard, I will definitely become the most powerful witch! Oops..."

Before the inspirational ceremony was over, Greem gave her a hard knock on the top of the head.

"If you just aspire to become the most powerful witch, I can say for sure that you will never become the witch of fate!" Greem stared at her fiercely: "It seems that I have to reconsider whether to continue investing in you !"

"Why?" Alice bared her little canine teeth angrily, "If I don't work hard to become the strongest one, how can I defeat them?"

"Use your brains, idiot!" Greem shook his head, looking as if the other party was hopeless: "The one you chose is the Fate Witch! The Fate Witch! The core of this profession will always be the word Fate. So what it needs is not the most powerful one, but the one closest to fate!"

Alice's body is only the size of an eight-year-old girl, and her mental age is only fifteen or sixteen. Although her bright mind and excellent talent endowed her with fairly profound knowledge, she couldn't grasp the focus at all when it came to such a heavy topic as fate.

"Then I don't have to be busy improving my strength anymore, and spend all my time studying fate?" Alice asked timidly.

bang.

Involuntarily, she was knocked on the forehead again.

"Why did you hit me again?" Alice held her head in her hands, her mouth shrunk, and she was about to cry out of grievance: "Isn't it what you said that the fate witch relies on fate, not strength?"

"Why don't you understand?" Greem said with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Strength is the guarantee of your survival, and destiny is the key to your victory! So you have to raise your strength first to ensure that you can survive. Go on, and then you will have a chance to win further. I dare say that the first batch of eliminated by the Fate Witch selection must be those who have no strength to advance to the wizard."

"Then what?"

"As for those advanced wizards, if they can't help each other, then fate will become the only thing they can rely on!"

"But how can something like fate be strengthened?"

"That's very simple. You should advance to the level of a wizard as soon as possible, so that you have the strength to survive, and then work hard to learn divination and prophecy! After all, this is the big killer that determines your life and death!"

"So what do I need to do now?"

"The first thing you need to do now is to find ways to make yourself really believe in fate. Not a hypocritical belief in words, but a true and wholehearted belief. You can deceive me, but you cannot deceive yours In your heart, you can't deceive fate! So... little girl, from today on, try to become a believer in fate!"

Alice put her head in her hands and nodded heavily under the quilt.

...

After Alice fell into a deep sleep again, Greem sat back at the wooden table, took out a pin-shaped crystal amulet from his pocket, and began to study it.

This is a puppet amulet traded to him by Ratman Senator Palo.

With it, Greem can easily carry it with him after he has built his first metal golem. When Greem just obtained it, he had dreamed of using the chip's data scanning, analysis, and computing power to crack the mystery inside the puppet amulet, and then manufacture it in large quantities by himself.

But after these few days of exploration, this unrealistic fantasy was shattered!

Damn it, this puppet talisman is not a subplane space that can store huge metal golems as expected, but a weird witchcraft. So the puppet amulet that can store a 10-meter-high war doll with a wave of your hand is not a space equipment, but a sealing technique!

Greem couldn't help being furious at this point.

Originally thought that with Alice's space talent and the void stone in his hand, as long as he cracked the technical barrier of the puppet amulet, he would be able to clone smoothly. But who would have thought, it was still empty-handed.

After thinking about it, Greem couldn't help being amused by his past delusions.

If the Puppet Talisman is really so easy to break, then the Silver Alliance will not monopolize this technology for thousands of years. To this day, if the high-ranking wizards of the other major powers want to carry a metal battle puppet with them, they can only travel hundreds of millions of miles to the Silver Alliance area to seek help.

The wizard association in the eastern part of the mainland has gathered so many powerful wizards, so it's not like they can't break this puppet sealing technique!

So after two days of research, Greem had no choice but to give up sadly after confirming that this sealing technique could not be cracked by himself.

Putting away the puppet amulet again, Greem couldn't help but start thinking about the follow-up itinerary.

The main task of coming to the Sky City this time has been completed. Although he intends to stay in this area where the esoteric wizards gather for a while, considering the adverse effects of the Void Stone on him, Greem feels that he should return to Feidnan City as soon as possible. safer.

Having made up his mind, Greem directly contacted Wizard Angus and asked him to help book a boat ticket back to the Santetalinn area in ten days. On the other hand, he and Goblin Kirby conducted a frenzied shopping spree, frequenting shops in various areas of the outer ring every day, trying hard to collect useful things for him.

Greem had already obtained a large amount of magic crystals for helping the Byron family win the Profound Truth Competition. At this moment, he simply let go of his hands and feet and made a big purchase. He spent almost all the magic crystals on his body and exchanged countless materials. , resources and knowledge.

At the beginning of the purchase, Greem also expected to be able to purchase a batch of potions that would help his mental power increase, but he gave up after inquiring about one or two.

For nothing else, too expensive! And it's super expensive!

Erris' Nightmare, a kind of spiritual power potion that also has a great effect on official wizards, can bring about 0.12 points of mental power increase to wizards every time they are taken.

Its basic price is 1400 magic crystals/bottle, and it also has huge sequelae.

Just like its name, wizards who take this potion will suddenly fall into a bizarre illusion at a certain time every night, and cannot break free by their own strength, nor can they be awakened by outsiders.

Only by silently enduring the 2-hour nightmare journey can the person involved wake up.

Such a terrifying sequelae also brought a huge safety hazard to the wizards who took the medicine!

As for another kind of witchcraft, evil spirit water, it is even more terrifying.

Wizards who take this potion will be especially favored by wraiths for a long time. Once one's own preventive work is not done well, it is very easy to have terrible tragedies of evil spirit possession.

Therefore, wizards who have taken the evil spirit water will never dare to go out to explore any ancient ruins and tombs, otherwise they will be like a magnet, attracting all the spirits inside. At that scene, any wizard with a brain would feel horrified and disturbed just by imagining it.

The same is true for most of the other wizard potions, all of which have desperate prices and terrible after-effects. If you want to increase your mental strength by taking drugs, with Greem's current net worth, it will be possible to multiply it by ten or eight times.

In this way, I was busy shuttling between different shops and firms all day long, and soon, the agreed departure day came!
