Act Fifty-Seven: The Bondage of Fate

With Vilon's narration, in front of Rosen's eyes, a long and vivid picture appeared.

It was a country on the verge of decay, and the deaf old king, who listened to the slander of the traitors, beheaded his two sons, and all the ministers were corrupted, and the people were miserable under heavy taxes.

And the youngest son of the old king, with his sister, escaped from this hellish kingdom under the cover of a few conscientious ministers.

But the little princess was weak and was seriously injured in the process of escaping, and she was in danger.

The little prince and his sister are cornered when they meet a strange mage.

The mage's face was so wrinkled that he couldn't even open his eyes, but he kept saying what he was looking for, but when the little prince asked him what he was looking for, he couldn't tell why.

But fortunately, the old mage took the two of them in, and taught magic to the little prince, curing the little princess's illness.

The little prince studies magic hard and hopes that one day he will be able to return to his homeland and use magic to save that country.

As ordinary mage apprentices, the two followed the old mage to travel, saw the vastness of the world, and found that their original country was just a remote corner.

As the years passed, the forces of chaos took advantage of this opportunity to invade the main material plane, and the flames of war were raging, the blood stained the earth, and the side of order was defeated and retreated.

It was at this time that the little prince learned about his homeland.

The old king had been murdered long ago, and now the council of traitors was in power.

The little prince asks his teacher to eradicate evil.

The old mage didn't say much, only left a word, and waved his hand lightly.

The little prince and the little princess came to their homeland, but found that it had become very rich, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the parliament was in order, which was many times better than the original reign of the old king.

And sitting at the table were the ministers who wanted to kill them back then.

In front of the little prince are two choices.

First, kill all the enemies, and the whole country will be plunged into chaos again, especially when this mash-up invasion is timed, and it is very likely that those rich scenes will immediately turn into war.

The second is to leave, let go of hatred, take my sister away, and return to the teacher.

It was a very difficult decision for me.

But soon, the little prince will not have to choose anymore.

Because the people of chaos have invaded the country.

Almost overnight, the whole small country fell, and by the time the little prince arrived, there were very few people alive.

At that moment, hatred and entanglement have lost any meaning.

Then came a big war.

In the fierce battle, the little princess sacrificed her life to save her brother, and because of this, the little prince was able to break through and become a more powerful mage than his teacher, defeating the incoming Chaos people.

In the sea of corpses and blood, the little prince showed a miserable smile.

It was only then that he remembered the words his teacher had left before he left.

"No one knows what they're missing. ”

"The people became the Sage of Him, inheriting the mantle of the Primordial Mage, who was the strongest Mage of all time, and they called him the 'Law Weaver'. ”

Veron said, his face calm.

"The story is a bit poignant, but it's not the end. ”

"What do you mean?"

Rosen sighed in his heart that every saint's growth needs to go through extremely difficult tribulations, and asked at the same time.

"After that, I once spied into the truth of the world, and then I was surprised to find that everything had been arranged a long time ago. ”

Velen finally showed a slightly bitter smile.

"When I was born, the fate of me and those around me was already predestined, and all the struggles, encounters, and partings were just things that had been written down for a long time. ”

"Why?"

Rosen was a little puzzled, they had all become saints, beyond the law, but he didn't expect to be the most unfree one, and he couldn't even control his own fate.

"Because the world needs the Holy One, and the Holy One needs to ignite himself and become firewood to shine on the world. ”

Veron said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Only a strong soul that has suffered so much can continue to burn for thousands of years, and this is the meaning of the Holy One. ”

Rosen felt a little uncomfortable, if so, then what is the purpose of this world, everyone is trying to become stronger, trying to control the law, but in the end, only the chosen ones can break through the shackles.

And these people will be sacrificed as the cornerstone of the world.

He had a vague feeling that he had touched something, but the thought was fleeting, and there was no follow-up.

"So, what are you telling me this for?"

Rosen asked, all of this sounded quite strange, although he felt that as a Sage, Velen didn't need to harm him, Rosen still couldn't understand the message contained in Velen's words.

"Do you know how the so-called fate manifests itself in a person?"

Velun asked, a glimmer of light flashing in his red eyes.

"Why did the originally kind and kind old king suddenly become mediocre, why did the originally loyal ministers become greedy, why did someone help the powerless prince and princess to escape, why did the down-and-out two meet the old mage who traveled the continent, and why did the chaotic forces invade on a large scale after the prince returned to the motherland?"

He said, his tone steady, without wavering.

"Because these are all arranged by fate. The so-called fate is that all the people and things around you push you towards a place, there is no other path to choose, and at the same time, you even think that all choices are of your own will. ”

Veron's words surprised Rosen.

Thinking about it carefully, he himself seems to be under some kind of dark domination along the way.

"Fate leaves no trace, and if it weren't for the fact that I spied the truth of the world, I wouldn't have been able to escape the shackles of it...... No, maybe it's part of fate for me to be able to know these things. ”

Wei Lun said, smiling helplessly.

"Actually, you already knew that you were being manipulated like a marionette, didn't you?"

"I ......"

In the face of this sudden questioning, Rosen was speechless for a while, but then, what Veron said completely shocked Rosen.

"After all, the thing called the system in your body was only successfully made by that guy Greyius with my help. ”
