A black mist appeared above the crystal ball and nothing could be seen.
After a while, the black fog gradually dissipated, and the surroundings turned into a vast expanse of white, with nothing there.
Lu Yao didn't know what was going on, so he looked up at the fortune teller.
Du Manning also looked confused and could not see her future. She had never encountered such a situation before.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yao asked.
Du Manning looked a little embarrassed: "The divination crystal can't see your future."
"Oh." Lu Yao was very calm. In fact, she didn't expect the fortune teller to see anything at the beginning. "Harold, do you want to do a fortune telling?"
Du Manning felt looked down upon by her attitude, and instead felt uncomfortable. He stood up and said, "Your situation happens occasionally. I'm not lying."
"oh?"
The light-hearted question made Du Manning even more uncomfortable.
Perhaps it is their racial nature that they are born unable to lie, so when they are misunderstood, they are particularly eager to prove it.
"Put a drop of blood on the crystal ball, and I will help you tell fortunes again." Du Manning said anxiously.
Lu Yao shook his head. "Forget it. I don't really want to know about the future."
Du Manning felt wronged and helpless, but he couldn't force her, so he finally explained, "Sometimes there are people whose future cannot be predicted by fortune tellers. I've only heard of them before, but never met them. There are too few such people."
This made Lu Yao a little curious, so she asked, "Why are there so few people like this?"
Du Manning: "It is said that people with great luck are protected by the gods. Even sorcerers who are proficient in divination cannot easily spy on them. This is a kind of protection for sorcerers. Forcible spying will incur the wrath of the gods. The other type of people are... people with no luck. Their future is full of difficulties, or they have no life. When reflected in the crystal, it is dark and nothing can be seen."
Lu Yao: “…”
Sometimes, it is better not to know some things.
Whether it is good luck or bad luck, people can't help but think too much.
Harold kicked the stool away and sat down, his brows knitted together, "You little fortune teller, you are not accurate at all."
Du Manning's cheeks flushed. "My divination has never been wrong. She must be too special. If you don't believe me, put your hand up and I'll do divination for you once."
Harold stretched out his hand lazily, waiting for the little fortune teller to reveal a flaw and immediately overturn her stall.
Images quickly appeared in the crystal ball, and Lu Yao moved closer curiously to see what it could predict.
A huge snow-white egg lay alone in the dark cave, and then it cracked open with a "crack".
After a long time, the eggshell broke from the inside, and the little black dragon stretched out its little claws and clumsily crawled out of the eggshell, whimpering and hissing, but no one responded.
Lu Yao blinked, and put his hand on Harold's shoulder, his eyes full of curiosity: "Is this when you were born?"
Harold was about to have a fit, but Lu Yao held him down. He turned his face away awkwardly, his ears red, and said nothing.
When he was born, he had no father or mother and was born alone.
No one knew who had left him in the cave and left him there.
He got tired of staying in the shell, so he scratched the eggshell and crawled out.
If it weren't for the powerful dragon bloodline, if it were any other monster cub, born alone in a place like that, it would quickly be eaten by other monsters.
He is not only a dragon, but also a black dragon with dark attributes, and he is born strong.
When he didn't know anything, he relied on his instinct to occupy the Black Mountain wasteland area, searched for treasures everywhere, and hid them in the cave where he was born.
Later, while searching for treasures in a secret place, Harold met Si Jin.
Two dragons fought for three days and three nights in a secret realm for a glowing magic gem.
Si Jin didn't win the fight, so he sent the little black dragon, who had fallen asleep with his treasure in his arms and satisfied with his victory, to Dragon Valley.
The little black dragon had already gotten used to being wild by then, and all the rules and regulations of Dragon Valley were unbearable constraints for him.
But he couldn't beat the teacher, so he was forced to accept the dragon clan's 100-year compulsory education.
Teacher Mu Xin and other teachers in Longgu spent a long time correcting Harold's bad habits.
This young dragon started school late and had no parents to look after him, but he learned magic and combat skills better than other young dragons.
Harold lived in Dragon Valley for twenty years - considering the long lifespan of dragons, twenty years is not a long time - and he learned many things that he did not know as a little wild dragon.
Just when Harold was almost tamed and began to want to be an obedient dragon, a group of adventurers came one day and wanted to steal a baby dragon born in the Dragon Valley.
Harold wanted to save the young dragon, but in a head-on confrontation, the human magician was no match for the dragon.
Even though there were several powerful wizards of light in that team of adventurers, they were no match for the little black dragon.
But people were cunning. They used the baby dragon as bait and set a trap, forcing the little black dragon to burn down the Dragon Valley.
The black devil flame burned in the Dragon Valley for three days and three nights. The human adventurers were unable to escape, and several young dragons were also injured.
After this incident, Xiao Heilong was ostracized and isolated in Longgu. Later, his teacher tactfully advised him to leave Longgu.
Xiao Heilong dropped out of school for unknown reasons.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Black Mountain Wasteland was to beat up Si Jin. Later, he would go back to Dragon Valley from time to time to chat with his teachers and former classmates.
Time flowed slowly like running water, and the life of the little black dragon gradually became boring and regular. He fought with the little golden dragon every day and occasionally went out to hunt for treasure.
When he was even more bored, the little black dragon would squat alone on the cliff of the Black Mountain wilderness, gazing into the distance, often squatting there for an entire afternoon.
Harold's face darkened and he wanted to withdraw his hand. "Isn't your divination prelude a little too long? Do you have to review every person's birth?"
Xiao Heilong didn’t understand the word “pre-swing” before.
After reading so many comics, he inadvertently learned a lot of new words, and he is quite good at applying what he has learned.
Du Manning was also very surprised, because her divination skills had never made such a serious mistake before.
Could it be that because I’ve been away from home for too long and lost my strength, my divination skills are no longer accurate
Lu Yao was watching with great interest. He reached out and covered Harold's hand, pressing it tightly on the crystal ball. "It will be your turn to follow Si Jin to the store soon."
The crystal ball divination is not like playing a TV series. Most of the images flash very quickly and only pause for a moment at some special nodes.
The little black dragon's meeting with her might not be anything special, but it would always flash in one or two frames, and Lu Yao was still a little looking forward to it.
On this day, the little golden dragon, who had agreed to fight with the little black dragon in the Black Mountain Desert, was late, and the little black dragon squatted on the cliff for the whole afternoon.
Until dark, the little golden dragon did not show up for the appointment.
The little black dragon was so angry that he went crazy on the top of the mountain for a while, scooping up rocks with his tail and smashing them into the swamp, or rolling them into pieces.
Perhaps he still felt unsatisfied, so he flapped his wings angrily and flew away.
Harold, whose hand was held by Lu Yao, was a little shy, but the picture in the crystal ball interrupted this moment.
There was confusion in his dark blue eyes: "This is not me."
In the crystal ball, the little black dragon left the Black Mountain Wasteland and met a lost noble girl at the White Sand Green Lake.
Out of curiosity, he took the initiative to approach and talk.
Later, he followed the woman to the Jinklai Mansion in the city of Braibis, agreed to sign a subordinate contract with the human race, and became a giant dragon that could be driven by anyone.
From here on, the scene in the crystal ball was completely different from Harold's subsequent experience.
On this day, he clearly waited for Si Jin, was attracted by manicure, went to a human shop, and became a prisoner of manicure and comics.
Du Manning frowned. "How could it not be you? Just because you don't know doesn't mean it won't happen. According to the prophecy, this noble girl should be your destined one. You will meet her in the future and make a contract with her."
Lu Yao stared at the noble girl in the crystal ball and felt that it was a bit outrageous.
She was not curious about the fact that the little black dragon had a destined person, but how could it be Helena
Last time, he gave that noble lady a severe beating and was not in a good mood at all.
Harold suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the crystal ball, and black flames burned in his palm.
"Crack--" Cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal ball, and it shattered into powder after a moment.
"What a crappy divination, it's not accurate at all! Lu Yao, go back." Harold said angrily, turned and walked out of the alley.
How could he be driven by others
As a proud dragon, Harold could not accept this at all.
Du Manning felt like crying but had no tears. This was the last divination crystal she had, and it was crushed just like that.
If an accident occurred on the road, she would not have enough money to rent a car, and she would not even have the tools to set up a temporary stall.
Dragons are indeed the most violent and unreasonable race on this continent.
Lu Yao did not leave immediately. He walked up to Du Manning and handed him a gold coin. "Sorry, I broke your crystal."
Du Manning's face lit up with joy, and without thinking about anything else, he reached out to take it.
Lu Yao took a step back, the smile on his face was very faint, and he took out two more gold coins and put them together with the previous one: "Answer me a few questions, the crystal ball and compensation and reward, a total of three gold coins, all given to you."
Du Manning thought that this was nothing special and nodded repeatedly: "What's the problem? I will tell you everything I know."
Lu Yao: "Is crystal ball divination always accurate?"
Du Manning nodded: "Well, the result predicted by the crystal ball may not happen immediately, but it will definitely happen at some time in the future."
Lu Yao frowned: "Is it possible to change in the future?"
Du Manning was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "The future is changing all the time. Many people hire fortune tellers to avoid danger and disaster, but very few are truly successful."
More people, knowing the future in advance, try every possible means to avoid it, but end up making things worse.
Perhaps, even the act of fortune-telling in advance is a part of one's destiny.
Lu Yao raised his eyebrows, "In other words, the future may indeed change?"
Du Manning couldn't help but look at Lu Yao again. This human's idea was too naive.
How can it be so easy to change the future
Thinking of her divination earlier, and considering the three gold coins, Du Manning said a little more: "If you want to change the future of his contract with the noble girl, I advise you to give up now. The future of a lucky person and an unlucky person is indeed difficult to predict, but you are probably not a lucky person."
People without luck will never get what they pray for, and reaching out is just a futile struggle.
Lu Yao smiled and shook his head, put three gold coins into Du Manning's palm, and handed her a business card, "I didn't think so. I guess someone has made all the proper arrangements for him. And judging from the results, it was probably successful. Thank you very much for letting me know a lot of interesting things. I hope you can return to your hometown smoothly. When you have time in the future, come to my shop to play. Your hands are very suitable for manicures."
Du Manning stood at the end of the alley, watching Lu Yao leave, his brows never relaxed.
What did she say was successful
Also, what is manicure
Lu Yao thought Harold had already left, so he quickened his pace and walked out of the alley.
He was still on the side of the road, his brows furrowed, kicking a small stone in annoyance.
Lu Yao walked over and grabbed his wrist, "Stop playing, it's time to go home."
Harold lowered his eyebrows and even his voice seemed weak: "I won't become like that."
"Yes." Lu Yao nodded. "You are already a security guard in my store. Signing two contracts is a breach of contract. If you leave without reason, I may sue you."
Harold had seen the word "lawsuit" in comics, but he had only a vague idea of its specific meaning.
In the comic, there is a man who doesn't want to be separated from his wife, so he files a troublesome lawsuit against her.
He felt that Lu Yao just didn't want to be separated from him.
There was a gleam in the little black dragon's blue eyes, and the irritability that had been pent up in his chest dissipated unconsciously.
He grabbed Lu Yao and ran out of Onoton City with her.
Lu Yao originally planned to use the city’s teleportation array to return to Emerald Town, which would be faster.
Harold moved too quickly and she had no time to stop him. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the black dragon's back again, with the sound of the whistling wind filling her ears.
On the way home, Harold took Lu Yao to the Baishacui Lake that he had pointed out to her when they came, and she rolled around on the ground, asking for a bath.
Lu Yao had no choice but to sit on the shore and wait for him.
The little black dragon was like a moving hill, floating up and down in the water.
He swam alone for a while, then quietly stretched his tail to the shore.
Lu Yao had nothing to do, so he grabbed some sand and helped him grind his scales.
The little black dragon was so happy that its tail bounced into the lake, splashing water all over Lu Yao.
The man and the dragon played at Baishacui Lake until evening.
When I returned to the nail salon, there were no customers in the shop and the two fairies were asleep on the table.
Edward was bored, so he followed the plot in the comic book and folded a bunch of small white flowers with a napkin. He placed them around the two goblins and covered them with a plain handkerchief.
When Lu Yao saw it, he thought the goblin had died in the store.
