Chapter 160: You'll Get What You Want
"What do you mean?" asked Arthur. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The old man replied, "Legend has it that Ojivich is a place where the light of wisdom shines, and a land blessed by the prophets, so that most of the people who grow here have some ability, and the business of selling fate and future will be as prosperous as you see, and I was one of the merchants." ”
Arthur raised his eyes: "You are also a prophet?"
The old man smiled: "I set up a stall when I was young, at least, my business was good at that time. ”
Salina asked, "And what's your price?"
The old man replied, "I don't do this business anymore, and this young man has helped me three times, so how can I ask you for money." What's more, the things you want to know are so simple that they're not worth the money. ”
"What!?" the old man's words surprised everyone.
Salina hurriedly asked, "What do you mean when you say we want to know the easy!??you know the answer!?"
The old man slowly raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and the young people followed and looked over with a blank expression.
"The answers you want are already on your way. "All you need to do next is to make sure you wait for the answer." ”
"What!?just wait!?" Salina was anxious, "How long will you have to wait!?"
"If you just wait quietly, it will be soon, and if you embark on an adventure, the answer will be delayed, but only a little later, and the answer you want is destined to meet you, whether you want it or not, whether the world agrees with it or not. ”
The old man's last words made the young people even more confused, but it was amazing, although it was groundless, listening to the old man's voice like a calm lake, they all had a sense of convincing, obviously the words of the slender and fragile old man, but there was a magical solid power.
Because of this magical sense of power, the impatient Salina calmed down, she looked at the old man's lilac eyes, and unconsciously chose to be convinced.
Witt asked, "Then all we have to do is wait? Why is it possible for us to have an adventure? Since we have to wait, we can do nothing." ”
The old man smiled and said: "Even if you want to wait, the trajectory of fate will not wait, it will not stagnate for any reason, of course, you will face a choice, but the result of the choice is predetermined." ”
As he spoke, the old man looked at Arthur.
Arthur felt something, and suddenly raised a wicked smile: "You say this, it makes me want to make the opposite choice of fate, I have never liked the so-called fate thing." ”
The old man's smile was still there, and she whispered, "How do you know that the opposite choice you made was not a predetermined fate?"
Arthur was stunned for a moment, then he quickly furrowed his eyebrows and snorted unpleasantly through his nose.
Werther still felt unsure, and he asked the old man what they should do next and what to pay attention to, but the old man always replied the same: "Wait in peace, you will get what you want." ”
After getting the same answer repeatedly, Witt finally gave up asking questions, and the old man nodded to everyone, said "goodbye" after a polite greeting, and then turned to leave.
When Arthur saw that the empty bucket was still on the ground, he asked, "Hey, don't you want your bucket?"
The old man half-turned his head and replied with a smile: "I don't need it anymore." ”
After the words fell, just like before, the old man quickly disappeared into the crowd again.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all had an incredible feeling. But since the old man said this, they chose to believe it, and decided to stay in Ojivich for the first time to see what would happen. So they left Xinghe Street and looked for a hotel to stay in.
At the same time, in the dark room on the top floor of the tower, an elderly woman who looked exactly like the old man who had disappeared into the crowd was sitting on a red armchair with gold trim, and in front of her stood a wide mirror nearly two meters high.
But as the old man in the crowd disappeared, so did the scene on the water, and the rippling surface of the water reverted to an ordinary mirror, reflecting the old man sitting in a chair.
Footsteps sounded, and the old man's gaze swept over the wall of dark blue bricks and stones, looking at the open stone door. Soon, a young girl in a long pink and white dress walked into the room.
"Ziguang, what are you doing!?" The girl's face is exactly the same as that of Bai Hua, but there is no sickness of muscle atrophy, and from the outside, there is nothing wrong with her body, just like a healthy girl.
However, the inside and outside of this body appear to be the exact opposite. As Shirayuki's twin sister, Shiraka has the same fate as her older sister.
"I just wanted to see him with my own eyes. The old man, codenamed Ziguang, replied. Her smile was still soft and kind. "The ...... The child of destiny who turned the world upside down. ”
Bai Hua sighed, walked into the room, came to the chair, and asked the old man, "You saw it, how do you feel?"
The old man smiled and replied, "It is indeed different, and I think, perhaps, that we still have a glimmer of hope." ”
"A glimmer of hope?" Bai Hua smiled sarcastically and bitterly, "Bai Xue, that fool has failed, everything is going according to Char's prediction, I really don't know what hope we have, we can't wait any longer, we must act!"
"Anyone has the right to pursue what they love, White Flower. Don't forget that we are still mortal and still driven by desires that belong to mortals. ”
Bai Hua's expression showed that she did not agree with Ziguang's opinion.
"We are tools abandoned by God and mortals alike. "Our short lives are spent speculating on God's will, protecting mortals who know nothing. What qualifications do we have to pursue? Since we are in the tower, we must fulfill the duties of the tower! My stupid sister betrayed the tower, and I will never forgive her!"
The old man sighed softly at the girl's words, and she wondered if Arthur could make all this change. And in the tower, do they want this change?
Because of the sufficient funds, Arthur and the others found a hotel with good conditions to stay, and Nayin also had a room that belonged to her, because Nayin had been sleeping in Arthur's body during the previous trip, and Arthur said that now that there are conditions, Nayin can sleep in her own room.
For Arthur's kindness, Naine smiled and accepted. She didn't say that she actually wanted to be in a room with Arthur, and "sleep" in Arthur's body at all times, because then she would feel safe.
Anyway, it was not known how long they would be in Ojiwicz, so Witte suggested that walking around and getting to know the city more would help them in their future actions.
