"Why does it seem like I'm here to cheat these two bracelets?"
When he returned to the courtyard to attend the wedding, Jenkins thought suspiciously. He planned to bury the bracelet in a random place after the wedding, so that whether it was a blessing or a curse, it had nothing to do with him, the future man.
As for why the matter was resolved, but still did not wake up from the bed in the bedroom, he guessed it was because the wedding hadn't been completely over yet.
This guess was obviously wrong, and when the townspeople began to celebrate the appearance of the bride and groom, a bearded old man in a gray cloth robe and a peaked hat approached Jenkins. He was leaning on a long wooden staff, and the gemstone on the top of the staff radiated a dazzling golden aura.
"You can tell you're a wizard by your attire."
This was the first sentence Jenkins said after seeing him. The old man looked down at his clothes when he heard this sentence:
"You mean the robe?"
"It's not just the robes... Never mind, it doesn't matter. I assume you're here for me? Give you this back."
As he spoke, he handed the two bracelets he just got to the old man, and the bearded wizard took it with his left hand that was not holding the long wooden staff:
"You know it's mine?"
His voice is very old, but very "clear", in line with the characteristics of a wise elder who can guide young people.
"There are not so many coincidences in this world. It is already a small probability event that I broke into this wedding. If another wizard who has nothing to do with this matter also walked into the courtyard, you probably know how small the probability is."
"Probably less likely than a god solving trouble for this troubled young couple."
As he spoke, the old man blinked his right eye at Jenkins. His eyes were bent with a smile, and the expression on his wrinkled face was quite joyful.
"Do you know who I am?"
Jenkins asked.
"Of course, it's like you also guessed who I am."
The old man replied.
Of course Jenkins knew who the other party was. In his eyes, the aura behind the old man could not be faked. And even without using the real eye, the answer that the other party is a god appeared in Jenkins' mind the first moment he saw him.
"I don't understand why you want to embarrass them, and in this way."
Jenkins shook his head at the young men who were exchanging tokens.
"This is the reason for their parents. I just came to collect some interest. Even if you don't show up, their lives will not be in danger, but they will be unhappy all their lives."
"I think it's just such a simple reason, you don't need to appear in the material world in person, do you?"
Although I don't know which era it is now, but no matter what time the gods appear in the material world, it is definitely a big event.
"God of the future, didn't you also appear here? We all have our own reasons. Maybe these reasons are irrelevant to the other party, but every decision we make may affect the past, present and future. .It doesn't matter if it matters, what matters is that we should be here."
The old man didn't answer the question directly, but Jenkins understood what he meant. Jenkins is also a god, also present at this humble wedding, and also here for boring but necessary reasons.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm sorry, the past cannot point to the more distant future for the future."
Seeing that Jenkins opened his mouth to speak, the old man said a step ahead of him, but then he said with a smile:
"But the past can point to more past things. Although I don't know the original purpose of your coming here, it probably has something to do with the things in this town, right?"
"Yes, I want to know, in the more distant past, what happened here?"
"A creature capable of causing disasters in the entire world was born in this town. It was a very old past, and even I was not a witness to it. Although the disaster has long since left this town, as its birth The location, there are still weird spirits here, which makes some strange things happen to the land under our feet in every era. Even if I don’t appear here, there will be other bad guys appearing, this is what is destined here things that will happen."
"The beast of disaster at the end of a certain era?"
Jenkins guessed, and the old man smiled and winked at him again, not confirming the guess but not denying it either.
"Okay, okay, it's time for me to leave here. I saw familiar traces on your body. If I'm not wrong, you should also have this kind of bracelet, right?"
The old man shook the two just now at Jenkins.
"Why don't you wear it on your body?"
"because… "
Jenkins has not forgotten the blessing and curse of the love bracelet, and he has to admit that he does not think he fits the definition of pure love.
"Don't worry, if you really love each other, the bracelet won't embarrass you. Well, it looks like you should leave too, look..."
Following the old man's prompt, Jenkins saw the pages of a thin pile of old books placed on the long table nearby, and the pages were carefully placed on the neatly stacked napkins to prevent them from being contaminated by the food on the side.
The sixth time I woke up in **, the moon was already hanging high outside, and it was already midnight in the blink of an eye. Jenkins didn't understand the flow of time between the various "dreams". Some dreams were only more than ten minutes compared to reality, while others passed more than half an hour in a blink of an eye.
Tonight is one of the very few moon phases when both the red and blue moons are half full. In the view of astrologers, this indicates uncertainty and instability. They believe that such a moon phase should not engage in any activities, and it is safest to stay at home and sleep.
"Go on to sleep then."
Sniffing his nose, he closed the book and looked at the thickness. He has already read half of the book. According to this progress, he can turn to the last page without sleeping all night.
"The maintenance of the airship can't be finished. I can't find anything to do. It's okay to see the dawn... I'm addicted to the story until the dawn. Why does it sound like a thousand and one nights? It's a pity that I don't have a beautiful girl next to my bed, and I Not even a king."
He touched his cat, then leaned on the pillow and turned to the next page. The next story was called "The Traveler's End".
It was still gloomy weather, and it seemed that the sky above the town of Black would always be like this. Jenkins woke up next to the path in the forest outside the town, took a deep breath to feel the smell of the forest, and called out the black robe to change his appearance, but did not leave here immediately.
He just stood there and looked at the forest. About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with a huge backpack came from the direction away from the town.
