"Excuse me......"

As soon as I said that, he turned around. Since he was wearing a cloak that covered his entire body, he could only see a pointed face, and he looked like a rat man. However, he was not dressed by the same group that attacked us at that time, so he was not a dangerous person. I was relieved to see that.

"It's good not to be a dangerous person... That's what I think," he said.

"My name is Pate, and I'm a soothsayer"

I was a little shocked to see what I was thinking, and to meet someone like a soothsayer in such a remote place.

"Do you know the road around here, and how to get there......?"

"Lost, how did you get here?"

"Huh? I was attacked in the woods, blown here by wind magic."

"Wind chaos..., I made it clear that no one came here"

At first, I didn't want to be disturbed by him, but after talking to him like this, he became interested in me.

"Since it's so fateful, then I'll take a hexagram for your future"

"Really?"

That said, I don't really believe in divination, because I used to see fortune tellers in the village. My gut tells me they're just scamming people for a living.

As soon as the words fell. He suddenly stretched out his hands and began to chant words. Then a transparent ball appeared out of thin air in his hands. For his actions in this paragraph, I was really shocked.

"Looking at the universe from afar, gathering stars and Hengyuan infusion, thinking is thorough, and the foresight is revealed!"

With that, it seemed that the magic condensed in the ball instantly expanded outward. The magic grew like a shroud, forming a ball-like barrier that trapped us inside. It really scared me so far, I didn't expect this soothsayer to have such abilities. Looking around, it's all black. Only the bright light from the ball in the middle reflected our faces, and nothing else could be seen. The light wasn't very glaring, but it was bright enough. When I came back to my senses, I found that although it was dark, there were cracks, just like cracks in the wall. The crack shimmered like breath in the sunlight outside.

"It's interesting," he said.

"Why? What does this result mean? ”

"I've only given divination to important people so far. Everyone else will have a rhythm of color change to represent their future. You, on the other hand, are cracks, or cracks that penetrate the light. This is the first time I've seen it."

After a little analysis, he said:

This is a sign that your future should be buried by the general trend and show no signs of existence. But when you're in some extremely dark places, you're going to be a terrible threat to them. This explanation seems strange to me, you are not a hero in the limelight, but you are the axis of the fight against darkness. I can't figure it out anyway."

Ben was expecting an explanation from a professional, but he got such a contradictory analysis. I don't know much about it.

"The foresight is known, I am satisfied, the four eyes are calm, and the end is over"

The barrier suddenly shattered like glass, and the shards rained down like drops, and the crisp cracking sound echoed in my ears, and the shards scattered on the ground disappeared instantly. Pate closed the barrier and bent down near me.

"Your future is very interesting, I really want to see for yourself."

"It shouldn't be difficult to see it, why ......?"

Just as I was about to ask questions. Suddenly, Pate closed his eyes and fell backwards unconsciously. Before I could come to my senses, several arrows passed between us.

"Found the kid! Catch him! ”

"There seems to be someone next to him"

"Get out of the way"

After saying that, a few more arrows flew towards us, and I crouched up in fear. But Pete was still unconscious, nimbly dodging the arrows.

"You can't hit me with this kind of attack," Pate said.

"Damn! Give it all to me! Kill this guy! ”

They ran out of arrows, so they all took their swords and rushed over. This time I saw clearly that it was the first few soldiers who attacked us. But weren't they on Uncle Rui's side in the first place?

"Boy, see the direction they are coming from, go in that direction, and you will find where you are going."

"But they're coming at us?!" In a panic, he still spit out this sentence.

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out. You wait behind my back first"

After Pate finished speaking, he began to take the initiative to walk towards them. When the soldiers saw this, they were very angry.

"You guy who isn't afraid of death! See how I clean you up! ”

The soldiers were furious, but Pate seemed unfazed and began to extend his right hand to the left. Seeing that he was about to be approached.

"Condensation"

Pat immediately waved his right hand, and from his side, many magic-like golden sand burst out in the air, spreading outward. As the soldiers came into contact with the sand, their bodies began to gradually change to gold, shining golden and no longer moving.

"Alright, now you go, be careful not to come back." Pate said this meaningfully.

And it really scared me to see Pate turn these soldiers into golden yellow. But I can't care so much, it's important to find Uncle Rui first. Passing through these vicious people, they began to run in the direction they came. When he was about to go away, Pate said from afar:

"There will be no time in the future"

It wasn't until a little farther away that I heard a sound from there.

"Uh... What were we doing?"

"Don't you hurry up, Ao Rui is really the same as the rumors, you can't kill him with such an ambush"

"By the way, if you can find that little guy and kidnap him as a hostage"

It seems that Pate has also escaped, and the soldiers have also turned back. Fortunately, they didn't succeed, whether it was me or Uncle Rui. But on the way to the run, I kept wondering about Pate's divination. Why can't those who fight the darkness be heroes? Aren't all storybooks about killing the Great Demon King and being sought after by the world? The results are becoming more and more puzzling. Just as I was thinking, I heard a voice coming from in front of me.

"Damn it, how did you get separated from your teammates!"

It's a lost sneak attacker, but it's also unfortunate that he was bumped into. When he saw my presence, there was cunning and pleasure in his eyes.

"Yo, I'm lucky, I can take a little cub back to receive the reward"

I saw that he took out the short sword on his waist and rushed towards me greedily. It scares the hell out of me. You know, this is the real enemy, and for the first time it's just me and the enemy. Except for a sparring session with Uncle Rui, I have no combat experience at all! For this to happen, it made me stiff. Because of Hui's killing, he left a shadow of death.

"Could it be... I'm going to end up here?"

"Don't forget our vows"

"Live with the will of the deceased"

This sentence reminds me of the vows I made for myself, to face up to the meaning of existence, and to face the shadow of death. At this moment, my heart seemed to be completely opened, and I mustered up courage. Gradually began to calm down. The soldier looked so unbearable, his steps were disheveled, his center of gravity unsteady. And he seemed to only think that I was just a weak person who couldn't fight, so he had the idea of killing me very simply.

I began to observe his movements. The right hand holding the sword was raised high, as if to maintain a deterrent, and it came like a knife. Seeing through the action, the next step is to deal with it. I placed my left hand on the dagger on my right waist and waited for him to get closer. When he ran in front of him, just as I had thought, he slashed his raised sword diagonally downward at me. I instantly drew my dagger and flicked his sword off with the outside as I lunged forward, pushing my right hand towards his head and pressing him down. He quickly recovered from his fall and slashed at me with his sword, but I stabbed his right elbow with a dagger. His right hand was so weak that he swung his left hand at me. The punch was heavy, but at the same time my dagger stabbed him right into the jaw. This duel to the death ended with his howl.

"This is what you have to pay"

I got up from him, cursed their sins, and continued in the same direction. His punch hit me in the right shoulder, and it felt a little numb, but it should still work, but it couldn't use all my strength. Sure enough, the strength of adults is great, and I really want to grow up.

After walking forward again for some distance, just as he was about to rest, he heard the sound of battle coming from ahead.

"I said Ao Rui, this wild boar is bigger than you~"

"Don't be kidding, Suiya, I didn't expect it to be like this!"

Hearing Uncle Rui's voice really made me happy.

"Finally found"

I stepped up in their direction.
