25 Misalignment

Klan was not surprised by Domi's remarks, as Milo had already told her about Domi's divination prophecies, but she didn't expect that the messages were actually from this notepad "from the future".

"I see," Koran said lightly, looking out the window, "so you use the information on this notepad to guide Milo step by step and not let the future 'misplace'." ”

"Yes, Mother, don't let the future 'misplace'." Domi repeated.

Fortune tellers who can foresee the future almost never tell or make public what they already know about the future, because people who know the future will deliberately pay attention to these things in order to welcome the coming good fortune or avoid the present risks, which will create a "misalignment" of the future - the future development does not follow the soothsayer's predictions, that is, the soothsayers' predictions have failed.

Of course, the occurrence of "misalignment" is a very normal thing, and it can even be said that it can be said that there is a high probability of occurring, even if the soothsayer is like a god, there are many ways to change in the future: the decision of the person concerned, unexpected objective factors, unexpected accidents...... will have an impact on the course and development of things, but the overall macro future will continue without change.

To use a figurative example, for example, the soothsayer predicted that a soldier would die on the battlefield, but due to accidents, the soldier survived, and after the war, he was disarmed and returned to the field, and he died a good death—the soldier's life trajectory did change, but the final outcome was that he died and turned into dust; Moreover, the survival of the soldiers did not have a profound impact on the overall development of the world, and the future of other groups of people did not change significantly because of his survival...... So, the future of the soldier is "misplaced", but the future of the world remains the same.

Both Koran and Domi learned about the "dislocation" from Elder Agatha. For a soothsayer, the fewer times the "misalignment" occurs, the more often his prophecy is confirmed to be true, which is why the soothsayer often uses obscure words to express the content of the prophecy.

Kelan seemed to untie the knot in her heart and sighed, "Child, you are doing a good job...... I misunderstood you and Elder Agatha...... Tell me what you've done over the years—"

Domi humbly bowed his head, like a shy child who had been praised for it, and began to tell him: for more than thirty years, he had been asked by Agatha Dax to find this notepad from the future, and when he learned from the notebook that the "curse of the stars" would finally be broken, he was excited and terrified - the future was still full of uncertainties, could change at any time, and the "misalignment" could probably befall the owner of this notebook!

Fears, doubts, worries, hesitations about the future...... These negative emotions have always knocked on Domi's patience, and once the misalignment occurs, the "curse of the stars" will not be able to break (Domi does not know the process of "harvesting", but he knows that the outcome will definitely not be good for all beings on the planet)...... So he made a bold decision - to find the owner of this notepad, observe and guide him on the right path to the future, and finally let him break the curse!

Is the plan really bold and easy to do?

Finding the owner of the notepad is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and Domi uses the scattered information that appears in the notepad, such as names such as "Windrun Town" and "Ghost of Tum City", to narrow down the scope step by step, and also looks for various opportunities to compare the handwriting of everyone in the target group (such as the Imperial army stationed near Tum City, which is at least a thousand people) with the handwriting in the notepad. The sudden outbreak of the Djinn crisis disrupted Domi's plans, and in order to confirm his identity, he had to risk his life many times to shuttle through the frontline war zone, looking for clues (letters, sticky notes, suicide notes, etc.) left by the "undead of Tum City...... It was when Milo led the team towards Windwalk that Domi finally confirmed that the owner of the notepad was Milo Entekoman!

Later, in order to confirm and guide, Domi mixed into a team of wanderers, "coincidentally" met Milo's Imperial Army, and also did divination for Milo - and the content of his prophecy was not derived from the prophetic magic he was good at, but used the information in the notebook, step by step, to plant the legend of the "curse of the stars" in Milo's heart......

Domi smiled bitterly and said, "I also hired a lot of eyeliner that can help me monitor Milo's movements, that person named Parrett, I also obtained a lot of important information from him, as well as the Green Dragon mercenaries, the private soldiers of the Wanyuan Sect in various places, and the shopkeeper of the tool shop and grocery store tavern...... It's all my source of information...... And I'm receiving this information while preparing for what follows. ”

"Prepare what? Child. ”

"The notepad records what help or support Milo will need in the next many things, and I will prepare these for him in advance, so that his future will not be 'misplaced' due to these objective factors." As he spoke, Domi pointed to the cabinet next to him, "There, there are important items that Milo is about to use...... You can ...... "Domi" motions for Kolan to open the cupboard.

Kelan let out a soft "hey" and opened the cupboard, which was filled with a neatly folded drawing......

……

"At least two ships, preferably warships, of the kind with dinghys and powder kegs, so that one attracts attention and pins down the steamer, and we take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the harbor." Mello spoke about his plan, combing through some key information in his notepad, and his gaze quickly swept to the next important condition, "What if...... If we could know the defense deployment of the port of Wall Harbor, where there are sentry posts, checkpoints, and the patrol routes of ships, the success rate of infiltration operations will be greatly increased! ”

"The ship is easy to make, there are British warships here, although they are old, but they can be used." The Green Dragon mercenary responded, "But the defense information of the port is not so easy to know, let alone the first military port in Swish. ”

Milo scratched his head, and his embarrassed expression undoubtedly admitted that this objective difficulty was indeed difficult to overcome. Parrett on the side held his cheeks and frowned thoughtfully, as if he remembered something related to the defense of the harbor of Wall Harbor, but hesitated to speak. Since no one paid attention to Parrett's expression, several people fell into deep thought and looked for a solution......

……

"This is the Port Defense of Port Wall?" Kelan carefully opened the folded blueprint and discovered its true face.

"This will help Milo...... I'll also help you capture Sylvia Anseson, two ships, and a Green Dragon mercenary, I've got you covered......" Domi said frankly, a slightly satisfied and relieved expression on his face that seemed to indicate that he had finally completed an important mission.

"Next...... How? Kelan asked, puzzled.

"I'm sorry, Mother," Domi said embarrassedly, "I can't say much more to make sure that the 'misalignment' doesn't affect the future......"

"In other words......" of course Kelan understood the truth, "I...... Am I one of the parties? ”

Domi didn't answer, showing a slightly embarrassed expression, and didn't dare to look at his adoptive mother. After a long time, he finally said, "Mother, it's time for me to leave." ”

"Aren't you going to meet with Milo?"

"It's better not to see it...... I just want to do a ...... silently Be a bystander...... I also want to see how the 'Curse of the Stars' ends......" Domi finished speaking, walking slowly but surely towards the door, and at the moment when he opened the door to leave, Domi turned back to Koran and said, "Mother, when everything is over...... I'll just go home......"

The door closed softly, and Koran was alone in the room, her head bowed, two lines of tears running across her beautiful face......

This is the principle of a soothsayer, and of course Klan knows that the reason why Domi-Duminik must leave is to avoid the occurrence of "misalignment" and have an impact on the future - especially whether the "curse of the stars" can be successfully broken, which is also the pain of being a soothsayer, although he knows the future of some people, but he cannot show off with it, but he has to endure all kinds of doubts and become a bystander who does not care about himself...... This will undoubtedly cause a lot of mental torture, just like doctors rarely see themselves and their families, and they are unbearable to face, but they are always worried. Klan didn't want her child to suffer this kind of torture, so she naturally had a negative attitude towards Duminic's learning of prophetic magic, but at this point, she was also proud of Duminik in her heart.

Even though mother and son have not seen each other for more than 30 years, Duminik still needs to abide by the guidelines and try to stay away from the center of the incident......

"What role will I play?" Koran muttered.

……

On the other side, Milo and the others temporarily abandoned the plan to break through the defense of the port of Wall Harbor, and the captain suggested that work on how to arm the ship.

"The ship is not in the port, but inside Maruyama." The Green Dragon mercenary said, "There is a huge cave on the sea side of Maruyama where several small warships can be hidden. ”

"It sounds like a pirate's lair, and I want to visit it." Erin sighed.

"Well, then after Kolan and Domi finish talking, let's go together." Milo said, however, that he still had a lot to say to Domi, after all, it was he who guided him to begin his quest to decipher the "Curse of the Stars".

"Since we're not in a hurry, let's go find some wine to drink first!" Captain Finn and Parrett didn't have the slightest urgency, and slapped their butts and got up to leave the dining room, but when they reached the door, they were stunned—

Koran was standing outside the door.

……

"What?! Dom...... Left? Milo was stunned, and then looked around, as if looking for Domi, but of course nothing came of it.

"I know my child," said Kolan lightly, "since he has decided to leave, he is already on the ship going to sea, don't expect to find him." ”

"That'...... This...... Can't explain it? Melo spread out his hand and looked at Captain Finn, "It was Domi who brought us here, and he left first without telling us anything, why did he do this?" Captain Finn, Erin, and Parrett also looked at each other blankly, puzzled by this. But soon, everyone's eyes were focused on Kelan again, and maybe she could give a reasonable answer.

Koran understood what everyone was looking at, and said, "Duminic, he wants to help us face Sevia Anseison, because Elder Agatha said that Sevia is the one who must be faced in the process of breaking the 'curse of the stars'. But Duminic understands that he is just a guide, so he is leaving, and the rest must be up to us. Although this explanation still did not solve the confusion, considering that Domi was full of various mysteries as a soothsayer, several people had to nod their heads and let go of their inner confusion.

The Green Dragon mercenary, who had been sitting next to him, spoke: "That's fine, since Ms. DuPont and we have the same goal, we can go to Volvo Harbor together to participate in the counterinsurgency." ”

Kelan nodded, thinking inwardly, "It turns out that the Green Dragon mercenaries are also part of the plan, what will happen next?" Then, naturally, she took out the copy of the "Harbor Defense Map" and said, "This is given to me by Duminique, saying that we may be able to use it." ”

"It's ...... Map of the defense deployment of Port Wall? Milo, who was familiar with the military map of the Empire, recognized it at once.

The captain and Erin also came over to look at it together, "It's true, shore artillery, patrol routes, and patrol hours are also ...... It can't be fake, right? The captain said dumbfounded.

"No, it won't!" Parrett suddenly spoke, "This map was stolen by the old man from the Archon of Walport. ”

"What?!" Hearing Parrett's words, everyone exclaimed in unison.
