Chapter 0298: The True Meaning of Fate
Will the followers of the Witch of Fate believe in fate?
This question seems absurd, but it is like five thunderbolts, which instantly makes Alice stupid.
"I ...... I...... Of course...... Believe...... Destiny ......"
Alice replied, but her tone grew smaller and weaker.
Ever since she had a strange spatial talent, she had taken this as an instinct of her own, and had never traced its source to the source. As for the ethereal "fate" that gave her all this, except for a few words of praise that Alice would inadvertently think of in her spare time, and during the days when she became an apprentice, "fate" was like a god that did not exist, and had no sense of existence at all.
There are less than nine years left until the selection ceremony of the Witch of Destiny. It is conceivable that at that time, all the guys who have awakened the bloodline talent of the Witch of Destiny will gather in the Northlands to determine the true Witch of Destiny there.
And there is only one place for the Witch of Destiny!
Once one of the Awoken performs a ritual to become a Witch of Destiny, the rest of the Awoken will die a painful death and gather all the power of Destiny into the true Witch of Destiny. So, eight years later, Alice is either alive or dead.
At that time, she will have to face the first life and death limit on her fateful journey!
So what exactly decided her fate?
Of course, if Alice has the strength of a second-order wizard after eight years, it will not be a problem to sweep away the rest of the awakened people. At that time, it will never be possible for anyone to take the title of Witch of Destiny from her.
But is this possible?
Eight years is not long or short.
If Alice works hard enough, she is still very sure that she will be promoted to a full-fledged wizard, but it is absolutely impossible to become a second-order wizard!
Her spatial talent is indeed excellent enough, and her strength is strong enough, but how much worse will the talent of other awakened people be compared to her?
In this cruel competition of life or death, no awakened person will be willing to give up his life to save others. So the selection of the Witch of Fate is bound to be extremely cruel and bloody. Those who are unprepared, or who are not well prepared, are destined to become the stepping stones of others.
They will be in a terrible wail, painfully watching others step by step on the high platform of fate, and then take away all the ...... that originally belonged to them Talent, bloodline and ability!
The thought of that terrible scene made Alice's little face turn white with fright.
For the first time in her life, Alice felt like she was full of energy. She clenched her tiny fists and struggled to cheer herself up.
"Alice, you can do it. Come on, work hard, and I'll be the most powerful witch......!"
Before the motivational ceremony was completed, she was struck on the top of her head by Grim.
"If you just aspire to be the most powerful witch, I can assert that you won't be the witch of fate!" Grim glared at her viciously, "It looks like I'm going to reconsider whether or not to continue to invest in you!"
"Why?" Alice gritted her little tiger teeth angrily, "I don't try to be the most powerful, how can I defeat them?"
"Use your brains, fool!" Grim shook his head, looking incorrigible, "You've chosen the Witch of Destiny! The core of this profession will always be the word Destiny." So what it needs is not the strongest 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 brilliant mind and excellent talent have given her a fairly profound knowledge, she has no focus at all in front of the heavy topic of fate.
"Then I don't have to be busy improving my strength anymore and free up all my time to study fate?" Alice asked timidly.
Bang.
Without saying anything, she was knocked on the forehead again.
"Why did you hit me again?" Alice held her head in her hands, her small mouth was deflated, and she was about to cry out of grievance: "It's not that the fate witch you said relies on fate, isn't it strength?"
"Why don't you understand?" Grim looked like he hated iron but not steel: "Strength is the guarantee of your survival, and fate is the key to your victory! I dare to assert that the first batch of Witches of Destiny to be eliminated must be those who do not have the strength to advance to the rank of wizard. ”
"And then?"
"As for those guys who have advanced to the rank of wizards, if they can't help each other, then fate will become the only thing they can rely on!"
"But how can such a thing as fate be strengthened?"
"That's very simple, you first advance to the wizard as soon as possible, so that you have the strength to live, and then work hard to learn divination and prophecy!
"So what do I need to do now?"
"The first thing you need to do now is find a way to make yourself really believe in fate. It is not a false belief of the kind of verbal faith, but a true, wholehearted belief. You can deceive me, but you can't deceive your heart, and you can't deceive fate......! Little girl, from today onwards, try to become a believer in destiny!"
Alice held her head in her hands and nodded heavily under the covers.
…………
When Alice fell asleep again, Grim sat back down at the wooden table, took out a pin-shaped crystal amulet from his bosom and studied it.
This is a puppet talisman that Councilor Pyro trades for him.
With it, once Grim has built his first metal golem, he can easily carry it with him. When Grim first got it, he had delusionally imagined using the data scanning and analysis of the chip and the computing power to crack the mystery inside the puppet talisman, and then make it himself in large quantities.
But after a few days of exploration, this unrealistic illusion has been shattered!
Damn, this puppet amulet isn't the second-dimensional space that was supposed to store giant metal puppets, but rather a strange sorcery. Therefore, the puppet talisman that can put away a 10-meter-tall war puppet with a wave of his hand is not a space equipment, but a sealing technique!
This can't help but make Grim angry.
Originally, I thought that with Alice's spatial talent and the Void Stone in my hand, as long as I broke the technical barrier of the puppet talisman, I would be able to copy and clone smoothly. But who would have thought, he was still empty-handed.
After thinking about it, Grim couldn't help but be amused by his past delusions.
If the puppet amulet was so easy to crack, the Silver Alliance wouldn't have monopolized this technology for thousands of years. To this day, if the high-level wizards of the other major forces want to carry a metal war puppet with them, they can only travel hundreds of millions of miles to the Silver Alliance region for help.
The wizarding association in the eastern part of the continent has gathered so many powerful wizards, and it is not possible to crack this kind of puppet sealing technique!
So after studying for two days and determining that this sealing technique was not something that he could crack at the moment, Grim could only give up gloomily.
Putting away the puppet talisman again, Grim couldn't help but start thinking about the rest of the trip.
The main task of coming to Sky City this time had been completed, and although he had the intention of staying in this area where the mysteries were gathered for a longer period of time, considering the adverse effects of the Void Stone on him, Grim felt that it was safer to return to Fedenan City as soon as possible.
Having made up his mind, Grim contacted the wizard of Angus directly and asked him to help book a ticket to return to the scattered Tallinn area in ten days. And he and the goblin Kirby carried out a crazy sweep, frequently haunting the shops in the major areas of the outer ring every day, trying to collect things that were useful to him.
Helping the Byron family win the Upanisham Athletic before, Grim has already obtained a large amount of magic crystals, and at this moment, he simply let go of his hands and feet to purchase a large number of them, and spent almost all the magic crystals on his body, in exchange for countless materials, resources and knowledge.
At the beginning of the purchase, Grim also hoped to be able to buy a batch of potions that would help his mental growth, but after inquiring about one or two of them, he gave up directly.
Not for anything else, it's too expensive!
Eris' Nightmare, a psychic potion that also has a significant effect on official wizards, can give wizards about 0.12 points of mental power increase each time they take it.
Its base price is 1400 Magic Crystals per bottle, and it also has huge after-effects.
As its name suggests, wizards who take this potion will suddenly fall into a bizarre fantasy at a fixed time every night, and will not be able to break free on their own or be awakened by outsiders.
Only by silently enduring the nightmare journey for 2 hours can the person concerned be able to wake up.
Such a terrifying sequelae also brings huge safety risks to the sorcerers who take the medicine!
As for the other kind of witch potion, the evil spirit water is even more terrifying.
Wizards who take this potion will be especially favored by the Wraiths for a long time. Once one's own prevention work is not done well, it is very easy to have terrible tragedies of evil spirits.
Therefore, a wizard who has taken the evil spirit water will never dare to go out to explore any ancient ruins and tombs, otherwise it will be like an iron magnet, attracting all the spirits inside. It was a scene that would have made any wizard with a brain feel creepy and unhealthy just by imagining it.
Most of the rest of the wizard potions are like this, all with desperate prices and terrible after-effects. If you want to use drugs to boost your mental power, with Grim's current net worth, it is possible to increase it by ten times or eight times.
I was busy shuttling between different shops and trading houses all day long, and soon, the agreed departure date came!
