Chapter 41: The Future and Destiny

In just a split second, Claudia and Gianna's position changed.

Just now, the two girls were under the night sky of the Karazhan Tower, evaluating Medivan's abilities, and now, Claudia and Gianna found that their sky had turned to a dark day, and the two were in a large pit of smoke.

At their feet, there were burning flames, liquid arcane energy condensed to the extreme, and evaporating purple arcane energy smoke.

Above their heads, there was an absurd and strange sky, to be precise, it was not appropriate to call it the sky, and many places were purple-black voids, and from time to time purple lightning streaked by.

Around them, the air crackled, hissed, and buzzed.

"What's going on, how can the illusion be so realistic." Claudia felt the scorching heat of the flame not far away, and bent down, trying to pick up a bit of the Arcanon liquid with her hand to distinguish the real from the fake.

"Don't do this," Gianna quickly took Claudia's hand, her expression was extremely serious, "I've read about this situation from Metri's notes, and now our situation is very dangerous, we can't do anything superfluous, we can only wait quietly for the end of the illusion, otherwise we will probably be lost in this illusion forever." ”

Hearing Gianna say this, Claudia couldn't help but be a little afraid, she quickly stopped moving, looked around, and observed quietly.

As she observed, Claudia discovered more, and she exclaimed, "Here...... How could it be ......? ”

Not far from Claudia, outside the smoking pit, there were dilapidated buildings everywhere, and death everywhere, all of whom were of the Alliance race, with various identities, including Stormwind Kingdom soldiers with the lion king's emblem, elven mages with the phoenix emblem, and healers with the cross emblem...... But more often than not, there are civilians, who have died in various positions in various positions.

The healers collapsed to the ground, the wounded still in their arms.

The knights and horses are still next to each other as they were when they were alive.

The two elven mages were exchanging spell casting materials, and the expressions on their faces still lingered with the surprise they had before they died.

……

"Take it easy, Claudia, it's all an illusion."

Gianna whispered a reminder, but her face had turned faintly pale, and unlike Claudia, she was familiar with the land beneath her feet, the place she called home.

Claudia nodded, and at the same time she and Gianna felt a wave not far behind them, and the two turned around to find a figure teleporting over.

This time it was Gianna's turn to let out a low exclamation.

I saw that this new figure was wearing a tattered robe, and the exposed skin in the torn area was either bruised or bloodstained, and she had shiny blonde hair, although her back was facing the two of them, but the two onlookers were extremely familiar with this person's back, this back should belong to Gianna, and when this person began to turn around, her face proved it.

This Gianna was also different, her face was more delicate, she looked younger, her eyes also radiated a different silver glow than they are now, and the greater difference was in her expression, her expression was full of pain, despair and hatred--- Claudia had never seen these expressions on Gianna's face before.

The new Gianna was obviously not lightly injured, she staggered forward, she walked through the ruins around her, looked at the corpses around her, and finally she seemed to understand something, fell to her knees, and began to cry.

Tears flowed from her fingers, each of her tears glowing with a lilac glow, and when the tears fell to the ground, those tears turned into wisps of purple smoke.

Not far away, another wave came, and the two onlookers noticed the arrival of another Claudia.

Claudia was not wearing armor, her hair had grown to her waist, but her face had not changed much, she looked around, her face was full of exhaustion, anger and worry, but soon the worry on her face dissipated a lot, she quickly ran to Gianna who was on her knees, knelt down beside Gianna on one knee and gently patted her shoulder and whispered comfort to her.

The distance was too far away, there was too much noise, and the two onlookers couldn't hear what was happening, only to see the tearful Gianna turn around and hug Claudia tightly.

But then Gianna's reaction surprised the onlookers, and after crying for a while, as an unusually powerful spell light flashed, Claudia was suddenly shocked, lost all her strength and fell softly into Gianna's arms, and more and more blood stained Claudia's clothes.

Gianna hugged the unconscious Claudia and kissed her, then she turned her head to look at the onlookers and smiled miserably.

What kind of smile was this, bitter, helpless, painful, she laughed more than she cried.

"I see." Gianna's voice was filled with despair and powerlessness.

As the words fell, the whole illusion shattered, and Claudia and Gianna returned to the outside of the exhibition hall, and the two girls looked at each other, both in shock and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"Could it be that this is some scene in the future?" Claudia asked.

"I'm not sure," Gianna shook her head in confusion, "it's possible that there is some kind of future, but it's more likely that there is something powerful that has confused our minds, I've never heard of anyone seeing such an immersive future, and ---。 ”

"My performance in the picture is too strange, completely illogical, this should be fake." Gianna said with a puzzled expression, and from the bottom of her heart she refused to admit the authenticity of those images, whether it was the ruined home or her strange behavior in the pictures.

After listening to Gianna's words, Claudia's face on the side was completely relaxed, she didn't believe in the so-called future destiny from the beginning, Claudia shrugged her shoulders and grimaced at Gianna.

"I have to say, Gianna, your performance in the picture scared me, do you want to use a spell to sneak up on me someday in the future?"

"How is it possible, we have been through so many things together, how could I want to hurt you, never." Gianna hurriedly argued.

"Would you like to kiss me, then?"

"No, no, no, I don't think that way about you, it's definitely not me!" Gianna's face was flushed.

"That's it, so let's leave these images alone," Claudia laughed, "and we'll have to hurry up and recharge our books." ”

"You're right, we've been spending too much time with illusions."

Gianna nodded, following Claudia's advice, and the two continued on their way, witnessing a few other visions along the way, but none of them were as realistic as they had just done this time, so that they couldn't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

After arriving at the library, both Claudia and Gianna were shocked by the number of books here, there were shelves everywhere, books everywhere, and the shelves stood densely packed with nearly a thousand, and the entire library added up to tens of thousands of books.

After putting Elunis into the pool next to the library to absorb energy, Claudia volunteered to help Egwen find the book, fortunately the books that Egwen asked for had the approximate location in advance, otherwise Claudia would have to look for a long time just to find the book, and on the way to meet Gianna after finding the book, Claudia also sensed a special call.

What resonated with Claudia was an oval-shaped green crystal, which Claudia was no stranger to, and at one point she had a yellow-like crystal, the one she later used to exchange with Gianna for the Eye of Sargeras, and the two crystals were almost identical except for their color.

Claudia picked up the green crystal and infused it with holy light as she had done with the yellow crystal, and the green crystal took effect, and Claudia immediately realized that she could no longer see herself, although she was still there, she could no longer be seen by the naked eye, because the light near her was already distorted by the crystal.

The scope of this invisibility could continue to expand, and after Claudia injected more holy light, she found that many of the bookshelves around her had also disappeared, and this was far from the limit of this crystal's ability.

"Gianna, I think I found the brother of the yellow crystal." Claudia brings the green crystal to Gianna, who is concentrating on reading.

Gianna took the crystal, observed it for a moment, and made a judgment.

"Medivan has been in contact with the orcs, so this should also be a treasure that the orcs stole from that world."

"Well, that's how it should be." Claudia nodded, and put the crystal back in its place, although it was a rare treasure, she obviously wouldn't take someone else's thing without permission.

After putting the crystal back, Claudia picked out some of the things Egwen had promised, such as some precious books, which she would take back to Stormwind to transcribe and read slowly.

Hours later, Stormwind.

The Chaste Saint had been settled, and Claudia and Gianna approached Egwene and asked about their greatest concern, the vision of the future they had seen today.

"What you see today is only a possibility for the future." Egwen commented.

Both Claudia and Gianna breathed a sigh of relief, and Egwen then looked at Claudia, "However, if you become a true demigod by the time this happens again, then what you see will become a reality. ”

"What do you mean?" Claudia frowned, and Gianna looked at Egwene curiously.

"The stronger the power, the greater the constraints, and when you become a demigod, you will become a part of this universe, and at that time, your words, your every move, and your destiny will be conditioned by the world."

"Your words will begin to take effect, and the world will monitor your words, and when the time comes, even you will not be able to break the promises you have made."

"As for your fate, whether you want it or not, your powerful power determines that your fate will be closely linked to the fate of this world, and your fate will become one of the components of this cosmic wheel of fate, so once fate gives you an omention, the foreshadowing cannot be violated, unless you are strong enough to fight against the entire wheel of fate."

At this point, Egwen paused, she remembered the foreshadowing she had seen recently, and then she looked at Claudia and Gianna, who were lost in thought, and said:

"Kids, it sounds a little hard to understand, but it's what it is."

"Egwene, you mean that mortals are freer than demigods?" Gianna asked.

"Not really," Egwene denied, "mortals are actually less free, but their future is insignificant, so their future can be changed, and once the fate of mortals is entangled with the truly powerful, their fate will deviate, and they will have no power to disobey their fate." ”

"The demigods are different, they can already see part of their fate clearly, and make some responses to fate, and fate almost never gives too specific predictions, which gives room for response."

"For example, fate is destined to have an artifact in your hand fall into the hands of an outsider, although your artifact is destined to be lost, but fate is not destined to who will obtain your artifact, so you can hand over your artifact to the outsider you want to hand over through guidance or trials, and take it back at some time in the future."

"For example, if you foresee your own death, your death may be inevitable, but you can also arrange some means of resurrection, resurrection and rebirth after a few years, and it will be difficult for many demigods to kill completely, that's it."
