Chapter 0598: The Power of Fate

As the finale, the auction of the wind dragon is extremely hot.

Wizards from various wizarding families made bids one after another, which also made the price of the wind dragon begin to rise in a straight line, and soon soared from 1.2 million magic crystals to 1.9 million magic crystals. Such a terrifying number not only kept those wandering wizards out of the competition, but even the wizards of those small families could only shake their heads and sigh, silently watching those second-order wizards compete with each other.

A second-order dragon is enough to defeat three or four monsters of the same rank in terms of combat power alone, so its price is more than three or four times higher than that of ordinary second-order monsters.

However, such a price obviously does not intimidate those family wizards who come prepared. Just looking at them all blushing and thick-necked and shouting out heart-pounding numbers, even those onlookers couldn't help but feel a burst of pain.

And in this shout, the price of the wind dragon is also soaring rapidly in units of 10,000......

Inside the Witch Tower, the wizards belonging to the Crimson family did not wait for the auction to end, and some rushed to the goblin plane to take control, while others went to the Reims plane to practice witchcraft. In the blink of an eye, only Grimm, Mary, Alice, and the Dragoneater Oliver were left in the Witch Tower.

Seeing that the wind dragon he liked had become the prey of others competing to chase her, the face of the girl in black, Oliven, was of course not much better. However, this wind dragon is completely the trophy of the Crimson family, and she doesn't even have the slightest merit or hard work, so she has no room and qualifications to open her mouth to the Lion Grim.

Coupled with the fact that Orivan had just rejected Grim's offer to join the Crimson family not long ago, there was no reason to make those illegal and excessive demands now.

After more than half a month of getting along, Oliver had to admit that this young and handsome second-order male witch was indeed a rather attractive guy. Not only is his own strength unfathomable, but even the Dominant's subordinates have a lot of means to sell.

Not to mention anything else, the second-order female vampire and the second-order dragonman alone are all gifted and talented. However, although they were superior in strength, they had not yet been taken into account by Oliver, but it was another first-order 'little person' that frightened her even more.

Witch of Fate, what the hell is this?

Could it be the legendary Great Prophet?

That Alice was obviously only at the first order, but for some reason, every time Oliven's eyes collided with her, she felt a trembling in her heart, and a strange feeling that she was completely seen through by her emerged.

It was a strange sensation that she had never felt in other powerful creatures.

The other party's clear blue eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, and they can directly see the most secret part of Oliven's inner memory. This feeling, while nonsensical, had clearly made Olivan restless.

The anxiety brought to her by the mysterious witch also successfully dispelled the depression of losing the wind dragon, and Oliven hid in a corner of the witchcraft hall, seemingly engrossed in the auction scene projected on the light screen, but in fact, most of his mind was still silently studying the strangeness of the mysterious witch.

Over the years, she's also gotten acquainted with a few wizards from the Crimson family, and maybe find an opportunity to get something out of their mouths about the mysterious witch.

However, while Olivan is restless, Grim is talking to Alice about something more secretive.

“…… You're saying that Haynes, a Rank 3 vampire, used to be here......"

"Hmm...... I felt his breath as soon as I got here. However, in order not to disturb today's banquet, I can only project some dangerous aura into his mind and scare him away......"

"You use the power of fate so frequently, don't you care about the backlash of fate anymore?"

"......" Alice sighed faintly when she heard this: "All those who try to control the power of fate will eventually fall on the backlash of fate." This is a kind of fate, and it is also a kind of necessity! If there is no escape, why should I struggle?"

"But didn't the first Witch of Destiny still exist? she must have had some means of escaping fate for so long. We ......," Grim frowned and pondered.

"It's useless!" Alice sighed again, "I can guess a thing or two about her way of escaping fate, and it is also an extremely dangerous path." Once the crisis comes, the risk she faces is probably not much stronger than the backlash of fate. So ......"

"Don't waste too much of the power of fate on meaningless little things. Don't forget, the power of fate is now tied to your life. To waste the power of fate is to waste your own life!By the way, you said last time that participating in some big events that can determine the future of the plane will allow you to collect a lot of the power of fate. How's that experiment going, and what did you get out of the last war on the goblin plane?"

Alice smiled sweetly when she heard this.

"I can't believe you still know that you care about me! Hmph, that girl Mary turned me into your subordinate today, how is it, what special feelings do you have?"

"What else can you feel, you were originally my slave! Don't forget, you and I have signed a soul contract......" Grim smiled wryly, his eyebrows full of ambiguity and aftertaste.

"You ......," Alice couldn't help but froze for a while.

The soul contract signed by the other party when he was young and ignorant when he was an apprentice has long since become obscure and useless after Alice has been promoted to the Witch of Destiny. With Alice's current strength, she could have completely severed the soul connection between her and this bad guy. It's just that in order to communicate with each other conveniently, Alice deliberately kept it.

Now, this 'shameless' guy is still teasing himself with this, recalling the kind of willfulness and nonsense in her apprenticeship, Alice has unconsciously become full of red glow and shyness.

"Don't be shy, you haven't answered my question yet!Did the battle on the goblin plane help you?" asked Grim, who obviously had something in mind.

"Of course it helps, and it helps a lot!" Alice thought about it, and she removed her little daughter just now, and became the leader of the shrewd, wise, and far-sighted faction again: "According to my estimation afterwards, a big battle in the Steel City allowed me to collect at least 3,700 units of the power of fate. ”

"3700 units of the power of fate? doesn't sound like a lot......" Grim couldn't help but pout.

Alice gave him an angry look.

"Ignorant boy, let me teach you a lesson!" Alice explained helplessly, "Do you know how much Destiny Power I can bring to me through the daily Destiny Ritual in the Tower of Destiny?2 units! Do you ever know how much Destiny Power I need to spend to perform a Destiny Divination Ritual? 30 units! And as the strength of the divination item or character increases, the amount of Destiny Power consumed will also fluctuate dramatically. Normally, each level of a divination item or character doubles the amount of Destiny Power consumed......"

Grim swallowed hard.

"You mean to say that divining the whereabouts of a Tier 1 wizard may only cost 30 units of the Power of Fate. If you want to scry a 2nd tier, you need to consume 60 units, 3rd tier, 120 units......"

"These are just basic costs!" Alice's eyes also showed all kinds of sadness: "In my Tower of Destiny, with the help of the astrological platform and other auxiliary facilities, this consumption can be reduced by half. However, if the target creature also uses certain means or abilities that interfere with the perception of fate, the consumption of the power of fate becomes more difficult to control. Once the power of fate accumulated by oneself is not enough to support the magic of fate, the remaining part can only be made up by relying on one's own life force...... This is perhaps one of the main reasons why the Witch of Destiny is so strong!"

Grim took a deep breath.

In the past, although he had a vague understanding of Alice's situation, it was always difficult to reach the point of detail. Today, after hearing Alice's confession, Grim finally realized the meaning of the rank of Witch of Destiny.

This is a powerful class that uses life to leverage the lever of fate!

It's just that fate also has its own unique laws and rules, and through these children of fate and daughters of fate as their own incarnation, they push the torrent of fate to run along a specific track within the world system. Seriously speaking, Alice and the previous Witches of Fate are the guardians and cleaners selected by the Law of Fate, who specialize in maintaining and defending the normal operation of the Law of Destiny for it.

In order to give them the strength to fight against those who transgress the laws of fate, the will of the world has given them the ability to manipulate part of the power of fate. But in order to prevent them from using this powerful and incomparable power indiscriminately, the will of the world also brought them a heavy pair of shackles.

The power of fate may be very powerful!

But the price to pay for wielding this power is also extremely heavy, sometimes to the point that they will never recover.

Grim took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down again.

"We have now established ourselves in the Reims plane, and we will soon be exploring and developing it on a large scale. If you participate in it, will you also be able to get a lot of destiny power into your account?"

Alice smiled wryly.

"Grim, don't try to play with fate! Your petty fights in the Reims plane will not affect the future direction of this plane at all, nor will they be able to cause unknown and powerful influences on the powerful dragons. So there's no way I'm going to draw much of the power of fate there.

The reason why we gained a lot in the goblin plane last time was because we were deeply involved in a major event that could affect the future trend of the entire plane or race, and played a major role in promoting it, so we had a great harvest.

And in a powerful plane like Lance, you and the Crimson family you belong to are just little gails lying on the back of a cow and sucking a mouthful of blood, and what you have done is not enough to reverse the fate of the Lance plane......"

Seeing Grim's frustration, Alice couldn't help but smile and caress his cheek with her hand.

"Don't worry, I'm still in good shape, and we'll have plenty of time to think about it. Don't worry about me......"

Just as Alice was about to say something more, a sudden change in the auction hall caught the attention of the two.

Grim and Alice couldn't help but focus on the auction hall at the same time.
