On the afternoon of February 1, 795 in the new calendar, Fenghua Town was on the top of the mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Panting, Duan Qing finally stepped onto the stone slab of the hilltop square - although this was the third time Duan Qing had come to this place, he didn't have the slightest sense of familiarity when he looked at the strange building on the other side of the square and the tall stone statue on the other side.

Of course, this time he still didn't come alone-according to his original plan, Duan Qing had a lot of questions that he wanted to answer with that woman, so this visit was also inserted into his itinerary before leaving. But in Duan Qing's heart, he didn't have the confidence to confirm whether the other party was willing to answer his question, so this time he brought Nina, hoping that the other party could help take care of the little girl and at the same time, he could slightly improve his good impression in that woman's heart.

The square at the top of the hill was still empty, and if it hadn't happened two days ago, the place would probably never have been lively. Duan Qing looked at the little girl holding her hand, and after staring at Nina's sparkling eyes for a while, she reached out and put the hood on for her to shield herself from the howling wind on the top of the mountain.

Then he knocked on the wooden door of the library.

The interior of the library was still silent, but unlike the last time, when there was no response, this time the wooden door not only did not close, but slowly recoiled with the force of the knock. Duan Qing glanced inside the room with some apprehension, and after confirming that nothing strange had happened, he took Xiao Nina's hand and slowly walked into the library.

"Excuse me!" He shouted softly.

There was still no one answering in the small main hall, and it seemed that no one was there. Duan Qing looked left and right helplessly, then turned around and gently closed the wooden door, and walked to the center of the circular room with Nina. The sunlight shone in through the small window on the other side, leaving a mottled shadow on the ground, which was a sign of the existence of vines lying outside the window, and on the inside of the circular floor, the rocking chair that the woman used to sit on before and the small round table were arranged in a complete arc, extending to the wooden chair on the other side with Duan Qing's line of sight, behind the wooden chair was another small door, and on the other side was a spiral wooden staircase leading to the second floor. According to Duan Qing's previous memory, the woman had explained that behind the small door was the real library, but judging from his current cognition, the authenticity of this so-called "library" is still up for debate.

Because from the outside of the whole building, the door should be behind the outside of the house.

However, Duan Qing didn't pay attention to the small door at this time, because next to the rocking chair at this time, on the small round table that the woman often used to place her own wooden cup, there was still a cup on it, and the mouth of the cup was steaming white, and the whole room also exuded a rich fragrance that belonged to a certain drink.

"Anyone?" Confirming that the woman was still in the house, Duan Qing had no choice but to shout at the top of his voice: "It's me, I have something...... I would like to ask for you! ”

No one responded.

After waiting for a long time, until Duan Qing wanted to give up, little Nina, who was holding her hand, suddenly raised her head and looked at the top of the spiral staircase, where a wooden board opened silently, and then, an old female voice came out from there.

"Come in."

Duan Qing looked at Nina, who also looked at him with crystal eyes, so he shook his head and led the other party up the stairs.

The handrail on the side of the wooden ladder is very low and very wide, and when it reaches the height close to the ceiling, it still gives people a feeling of insecurity, but at this time, Duan Qing did not pay his attention to this, his eyes kept staring above him, trying to see the scene behind the entrance, but when he reached the end of the spiral staircase, the situation in front of him told him that what he had seen before was an illusion.

It is a spacious second floor.

The second floor is still a cylindrical room, similar to the structure of the first floor, with simple wooden walls enclosing it into a circular place. The difference from the situation on the first floor is that this floor seems to have no windows, only three or two curved old bookshelves are placed on the wall, giving this floor a slight bookish atmosphere. But in the center of the circular room, a black curtain encloses the middle of the room, although the curtain is not completely opaque, but through the light of the magic lamp, it is still difficult for people outside to see what is going on inside the curtain, which gives the place a layer of mystery.

However, this was not the strangest part of this room, thanks to the strange little door before, Duan Qing noticed the discordant size of the second floor—this cylindrical room seemed to be disproportionate to the size of the library building that could be seen outside.

"Is this world ...... Anyone else who will use space technology? ”

"Time and space are things that only gods can control, and ordinary people can't control them." An old female voice came out of the curtain, and at the same time answered Duan Qing's self-muttering question: "Even if you are a strong person who has cultivated for a long time...... Nor can they break through this shackle. ”

"And everything here...... How can you explain that? ”

"The flow of fate is the result of the interweaving of time and space, so it is not difficult for those who know fate." In the flickering of the lights, a graceful figure sitting on the side suddenly appeared on the black curtain, and slowly stood up with the voice: "You have to get used to such things, because you will ...... in the future"

"There will be more opportunities to encounter."

Duan Qing didn't speak again, because he felt an unusual meaning from these two sentences, but the other party didn't give him more time to think about it, only to see the black curtain suddenly lift, and the woman with a young face and an extremely old voice walked out of it.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Destiny's Favorer." The woman said, nodding to the little girl next to her.

"That...... I have no intention of offending your cultivation, but ......" Not noticing the subtle change in the other party's attitude, Duan Qing hurriedly made his own request: "I came here today because I have something very important to ask you. ”

He placed little Nina in front of him: "I hope ...... You can help us take care of her. ”

"Fate has always been so magical." The woman's eyes drooped, as if she was in a wonderful state, but it didn't take long for her to wake up from this state: "I didn't expect that your final fate would still fall into my hands. ”

Duan Qing's body tightened.

"Don't be nervous, I don't have any ill intentions." The woman covered her lips with one hand and laughed softly: "And even if I have any malice, you ...... There won't be a chance. ”

So Duan Qing gave up resisting again.

"Come with me." The woman turned and walked around the back of the curtain: "Let's go to the rooftop." ”

This sounds so uncomfortable...... Duan Qing pursed his lips helplessly, then took Xiao Nina's hand and followed the other party, until he bypassed the black curtain, he saw a small door on the wooden wall behind him that was the same as the first floor.

Light escaped through the crack in the door—the woman pushed it open, and walked out slowly.

Duan Qing is also familiar with the world outside the door, and it seems to be the place where the woman exerted her power on stage that night. The circular countertop is not large, but it also surrounds the central cylindrical shape, and on the outside of the countertop are all kinds of potted plants, as well as some utensils that I don't know what they do, and there are large and small boxes in the middle, and I don't know what they contain. Duan Qing looked left and right, and then found something that could be roughly understood behind the left side—the long cylindrical cylindrical object on a triangular bracket seemed to be a telescope.

He looked back at the center around the circular countertop, and frowned a little: from the outside, the size of the room on the second floor was really unscientific.

"You can see the whole of Windflower Town here, so I like it." The woman didn't care about Duan Qing's eyes looking around, and successfully attracted Duan Qing's attention back with one sentence: "Fenghua Town is a beautiful town, and I have rarely seen such a place in my life. ”

Duan Qing didn't interject very interestingly, so he had no choice but to follow the woman's meaning and look at the city.

"Rama has been here for too long." Unexpectedly, the woman did not continue her feelings, and went directly to the topic: "So this is already his world." ”

"He controlled everything, from taxes, to resources, to agriculture, to handicrafts, to defense."

"The surface of Fenghua Town is still peaceful, but it is the peace under his overlook, once there is a discordant sound, there will definitely be a strong force to appear and suppress these sounds."

The woman turned her head to look at Duan Qing, who nodded solemnly, indicating that she understood what this meant.

"Over the years, not everyone has maintained the same trust in Rama, so it is natural that some people will be able to detect the anomaly behind this peaceful town, including those who have maintained friendly relations with the mayor, and because of their proximity to each other, they have found the problem earlier. Robin was one such person, and he found out that the path he chose was very extreme - he prepared for a while, then organized some people, and carefully hid them, hoping to overthrow the emperor-like rule in a secret investigation. ”

When Rama first found out that these obstacles existed, there was nothing he could do, because he was not fully prepared for the betrayal of his friends. But Rama is a man who is good at adapting to the situation and taking advantage of the situation - you should have learned this, when there happened to be a robbery of a caravan in Greenstone Village, Rama had an idea and made it up at random, and a gang of bandits haunted the town of Fenghua suddenly appeared. And as the so-called anti-crime efforts gradually intensified, those groups that secretly opposed Rama were slowly squeezed out, and finally reluctantly withdrew from Fenghua Town, away from this place. ”

One of the woman's hands rested on the railing on the edge: "For Yaschi, that was the beginning of his final fate. ”

"That ......" Duan Qing scratched his nose: "I understand the cause of the incident, but what I don't understand is how could you ......?"

"Fate told me." The woman's voice became soft, and I don't know if it was because of the strong mountain wind or because of the low mood: "The weaver of fate sees a predestined and unchangeable fate, so we can only foresee it, not intervene." ”

She looked at each other with inexplicable eyes: "Because our intervention is useless." ”

"I have foreseen countless fates in my life, whether it is about myself or others, poor or rich, they are the most elusive things in this world. Although I saw everything, I didn't dare touch them at all, because no matter how hard I tried, what would happen would still happen, and what would get worse would still get worse. ”

"Weavers of Destiny can't use their abilities to change the world for the better." She said sadly.

"I'm sorry." Although he wanted to complain about something, Duan Qing held back for a long time, and he could only say these four words.

"I thought this was the fate of the Weaver of Destiny, so I traveled from place to place, and finally lodged in the oldest building in the town, ready to spend the rest of my life, but my eyes kept telling me the fate that happened here, and I couldn't change it, so I could only rejoice in the good things and grieve for the tragic things, when I saw Rama, when I saw Yaschi, when I saw Nina...... That's also true. ”

Her eyes were fixed on the little girl next to her, who also looked at her with curiosity.

"You are the first to escape your fate." The woman said.

"What?"

"Nina's life was supposed to end on January 29, 795 A.D." The woman's voice became serious: "I don't see a better fate than this outcome, so I chose to sit on the sidelines." But when you brought Nina to my hut, I hesitated because ...... That's different from what I've seen before. ”

"In my foresight, there was no scene where you took her to the top of the mountain."

Duan Qing didn't speak, because he was speechless.

In the previous escape war, Duan Qing subconsciously chose to flee to the top of the mountain, and in his heart, he believed that this beautiful and warm weaver of fate could help them at the last moment. Although the final result was indeed as he thought, there was a period of time in the middle, and he still felt a little desperate in his heart.

Why did that woman turn a blind eye to what was happening on her doorstep? Could it be that she is actually a ruthless person? Or that she was actually Rama's accomplice—that was his worst conjecture at the time.

"Because I hesitated." As if seeing through the other party's thoughts, the woman explained softly, "I've never seen anything that wasn't foreseen, and I can't confirm it...... Whether I should get involved or not, I don't know, what the consequences of me doing this will be. ”

"The unknown has appeared in my life, and I am terrified of the unknown."

The wind on the platform gradually became smaller, and as the sound of the wind faded, the voice belonging to the world under the mountain gradually came, Duan Qing looked at the bustling black spots at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly understood the hesitation of the woman at that moment.

"You...... Figured it out? ”

"Yes, it's all thanks to you." The woman smiled: "Fate favors you." ”
