113 Circle of Destiny
Although he hasn't touched a game for a long time, Duan Qing thinks that he is still an old player who has been exposed to many virtual reality games, not to mention the gameplay methods of various games, but the themes in the game, the story and background of the game, as well as the history and culture in the game, and many other fields, he doesn't know how much he has seen. But even so, when he realized that he might have unconsciously encountered a deep secret in a game, his heart was still extremely excited.www.biquge.info
This is something that every player dreams of, and even more so for Duan Qing - even though these things often don't give you any substantial rewards.
Every player who goes to hide the elements and hide the plot will go for the reward nine times out of ten, which is not only a great thing for the player, but also helps the player to discover the game and promote the progress and development of the game. However, since the beginning of the free world, it has shown differences from other games in many areas, which is also obvious in the hidden plot, etc., these plots may be hidden deeply, but just like the secret hidden in everyone's heart, when you find it, you will find it, and there is nothing that can provide players with more substantive things. There are many people who have benefited from the hidden elements in the story of the free world so far, but for most players, they usually end up empty-handed.
Yet they still have a lot of fun - once a player struggled to find the location of a treasure that an old man had told him in his last words, only to find a skeleton. However, the player still posted the entire process and plot of the mission on the forum, and based on the clues he obtained, he deduced that the skeleton should be the wife of the old man who had been dead for many years. For the old man, it was indeed his most precious treasure, so the story in this mission also touched many players and made them more interested in the plot of the game in the free world.
For Duan Qing, these things are more attractive to him, and nothing attracts this player who is looking for the fun and meaning of the game more than a fresh plot, which is authentic, spiritual pleasure and a sense of achievement.
"The so-called ......" his voice trembled a little: "What is the patron?" ”
"Recently, there have been a lot of adventurers like you in Windflower Town. Like you, they give everything for the sake of adventure and wealth, so they behave differently than ordinary townspeople, and my fate has always been difficult for me to foresee. The woman did not answer his question directly: "But I can predict their future, because they are all risk-takers, and their way of doing things is very easy to understand." ”
"Power, wealth, status - in the final analysis, these are human desires, human needs." She chuckled slightly.
"Adventurers are just ordinary people with some abilities, and naturally they are not exempt from vulgarity." Duan Qing continued: "Expecting them to become saints is like expecting a king to give up his throne. ”
"You have a deep understanding of human nature." The woman looked at Duan Qing: "Maybe that's why you're different from other adventurers." ”
"Ordinary people, ordinary people......" Duan Qing waved his hand again and again: "You don't expect me to do something big for you......
"Now that I think about it, Gustan asked you to make contact with Rama, maybe that's what he meant." The woman stared at Duan Qing for a while, then slowly turned her head and looked at the sky on the side of the mountain that had begun to enter the twilight: "That old guy may have seen something from you, so he taught you that sentence." ”
"You mean to say...... Gustan tricked me? ”
"All in all, he's calculating you." The woman obviously didn't understand what the routine meant, but she still understood Duan Qing's words: "In terms of results...... He's right. ”
"Your presence has changed a lot of things."
"That's why I am called a patron?" Duan Qing didn't hide his surprise: "This is too simple, right?" ”
"Think about it." The woman's voice brought a slight smile to her voice: "Are you ...... Before coming to Windflower Town, did you meet that old guy from Gustan? ”
"Yes, we had a landslide at that time, if it hadn't been for Master Gustan's timely appearance......"
"How do you know...... If he doesn't show up, you'll die? ”
Duan Qing was silent.
"I can tell you that Gustan got to that place for something, and he was ...... Hunted down. Without hesitation, the woman continued to break the news: "Those landslides are for him, you are just ...... It's just innocent civilians who have been affected. ”
"It turned out to be a pond fish ......," Duan Qing muttered.
"To save you, or rather...... Changing your undeserved destiny back, he should have stepped in to prevent that catastrophe from happening. The woman's white fingers tapped on the edge of the railing: "This is the karma he has brought, and of course he should be responsible." ”
"Then the later ones, and the string of rosaries......"
"Do you know what Gustan went to that place for?" The woman interrupted Duan Qing's question.
"Uh...... How do I know about such a thing......"
"For the Emerald Tower."
Burst...... Duan Qing almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"Looks like you get it." The woman looked at each other with a smile: "He met you on the way, so he stopped his journey and came back with you." ”
Thinking of the direction in which the strange old man appeared at that time, Duan Qing nodded somewhat understandingly.
"What happened to the Emerald Tower really shocked the free world, but presumably Gustan already had the answer in his heart when he gave you that rosary." The woman lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "So, now you can go into a little more detail about what you saw on the Emerald Tower...... Introduce it to me? ”
Without any doubts about the information itself that the woman knew, Duan Qing was already confused by the beautiful smile of the woman in front of him, which should not exist in this world, the angelic smile, combined with the long hair and robe blown by the mountain wind, had a goddess feeling. But thinking of this person's age, Duan Qing immediately sobered up again: "That...... I should have told the two great magicians about the specific situation, so there is nothing to hide......"
The sun gradually set towards the sky, accompanied by the mountain breeze and tidbits, Duan Qing recalled telling his previous story in the Emerald Forest completely and transparently, when talking about the diary, the woman's lowered eyebrows moved imperceptibly, and when he said the various scenes seen in the illusion, the woman's eyes looked at Duan Qing and brightened a lot, just like Nina listening to next to her.
"Sure enough...... So. Half a day after the story ended, the woman with her head bowed finally gathered her wide robe: "You are a patron of fate. ”
"Haha, hahaha, I know this adventure is really bluffing, but for an old ...... like you Well, it's okay for people who have been through a lot of people, I'll be embarrassed to praise me like this......"
"You see the Circle of Destiny."
Duan Qing's mouth opened wide because of the echoing laughter, and he never closed it again.
"There is a rumor in the free world that the fate of all things has an end, that is the end of all things, and it is also the common destiny of all things. There is no record of this rumor, but in the last thousand years, a handful of people have claimed to have seen something that does not seem to exist in this world. ”
"All of them are strong, and all of them are people who grasp the truth of the world. And according to their description, we, the Weavers of Destiny, have passed down the appearance of that thing. ”
"Wait, wait!" Duan Qing closed his mouth wide open: "How do you know that what they said is true?" Why don't you know each other? Aren't you Weavers of Destiny? ”
“...... No Destiny Weaver has been able to prove the existence of that thing, and to put it simply, no Destiny Weaver has ever seen what they claim to be, and even the name 'Circle of Destiny' is our own name. The woman's voice was still flat: "But whether it is my predecessors or myself, I believe in the existence of that thing, which is probably the underlying consciousness of the weaver of fate, or our faith." ”
"As for thousands of years, why hasn't a Weaver of Destiny been able to see that thing......" The woman raised her head and looked at Duan Qing with strange eyes: "I may not have known before, but now...... I kind of get it. ”
Duan Qing's eyes narrowed.
"Get out of here." The woman looked at Duan Qing and said, "It won't take long for Rama to get that news, with his character, he will definitely take advantage of it and use it as quickly as possible...... Eradicate dissidents. ”
"Although there are me and Norman, and Kim is here, 'protecting you' is not a long-term solution, and we will not be enemies of the principality, as for you, ......"
She smiled beautifully again: "You should keep going, there is more destiny waiting for you." ”
"That doesn't sound like a good sign." Duan Qing scratched his head: "Forget it, I originally wanted to leave." But ......"
He pulled the little girl who had been listening to him in front of him: "What should she do?" Won't Rama deal with her? ”
"No one will do anything to a little girl, and ......" The woman looked at Nina, then walked up to her and bent her knees and touched the little girl's head: "Your fate has changed, as we said when we met, it's time for me to take over this fate." ”
"Little girl." She asked, "Would you like to be a weaver of destiny?" ”
********************
"Uncle! Why do you take so long to deliver? The sun is going down, do you know? ”
Duan Qing, who returned to the Adventurer's Association, unsurprisingly received an angry shout from Mengzhu first.
"The city gates are already closed at this time!"
"What? Why are the gates closed? When did Fenghua Town have this kind of rule? ”
"Of course the mayor did it!" The little girl stomped her foot indignantly: "What is it to maintain law and order...... Aren't you just afraid that we will run? Who can't see it! ”
"Before today, we didn't have any signs of wanting to escape, Rama shouldn't be so alert to ......" Duan Qing said suspiciously, "Could it be that there are spies around us or something......"
He looked around the still messy surroundings, but didn't find any strange people: "Strange, am I overthinking?" Or is it just a coincidence...... Hey? What about the smiling butcher? ”
"In the afternoon, a female player suddenly came to look for him, and it seemed that she knew him, and then Uncle Smiling went out." Mengzhu whispered, "Shortly after you left. ”
"It's suspicious...... What about Xiao Hongchen? ”
"He went out and didn't come back...... Are you suspicious of the two of them? Mengzhu's voice was full of loss.
"Just asking." Duan Qing said noncommittally: "Anyway, I can't get out now, it seems that it will be useless to think about these now, if it really doesn't work......"
"I'll have to ask for help from the people in Wezzard."
"No, you can go out tomorrow."
A voice sounded from outside the door of the Adventurers' Guild, and with the cheers of Mengzhu, the smiling butcher stepped over the door frame and walked in in the dim light: "Rama has only closed the gates of the city at night, and he has not yet been alerted to the level of martial law, so as long as you leave as soon as possible tomorrow, you should ...... It's still too late. ”
"You guys?" However, Duan Qing found a disagreement in the other party's words: "No...... We? ”
The little girl also realized what was wrong and faded from her excitement.
"I ...... Going to go. Facing the puzzled eyes of the two, the smiling butcher smiled bitterly and said, "My daughter came to look for me just now......
"Nani?" Duan Qing and Mengzhu were shocked: "The person who came to you just now was your daughter?" ”
"Aha......" Uncle Smile laughed awkwardly: "Here's the thing......"
The rest of the year became the story time of the smiling butcher.
When the smiling butcher first came to Fenghua Town, there was indeed a place to take refuge, but that place was his daughter's guild. It stands to reason that playing games with his children is a rather embarrassing thing, but the smiling butcher has long passed that young and competitive age, and he came to this game mainly to relax himself, so in the face of his daughter's bitter pleading, he reluctantly agreed. However, after arriving in Fenghua Town, it was not his daughter who was sent by the guild to greet him, but the guild's recruitment officer in charge of this place.
Although that guild is not one of the top ten guilds of the alliance, its scale is not small, and the elite personnel are complete, and it is naturally very strict in accepting people. Although he has a relationship with his relatives, in the face of the assessment of the recruiters, in the spirit of stubbornness and honesty and kindness in his heart, Uncle Smile still accepted the test of the other party, and wanted to join this guild on an equal footing without relying on his own relationship, and at the same time prove that he is not old, he can also surprise his children.
Of course, the results can be imagined.
When Duan Qing and Mengzhu found him on Flower Basket Street, it was when he was politely refused to go out by the other party, in the face of the little girl's kind invitation, thinking that he still had nothing to do after all, the smiling butcher also took advantage of the situation to enter this small adventure group, thinking that the big guild would not enter, this kind of game method is also suitable for his old age, with this kind of goalless, no construction of the group, he will definitely live a lazy and slow game life in the future.
Although in the end, it turns out that all this is a dream.
That is to say...... Your daughter is coming back to you now? ”
"Yes. Originally, I didn't want to tell her, and when I went offline, I also talked nonsense at will, saying that I was doing well and fooled over, but I didn't think about it...... She heard about the incident in Windflower Town, and then saw my situation, so she rushed back in a hurry, trying to rejoin me. The smiling butcher smiled bitterly and said, "I was told to get out of the fire." ”
"I'm so sorry." Duan Qing didn't mean to defend himself, but sighed: "You've been tired in the past few days, and you have suffered such a big ...... in the end."
"No, no, no, I didn't say that." The uncle laughed, walked up to Duan Qing, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "It's just the opposite." ”
"It's the best I've ever had in years."
