Chapter 36: Murder and Robbery
"Although there are many visitors from the other world in this world, there are not many existences that can make Your Excellency the All-Seeing One not see the future certain!"
As if seeing what Dugu Feng was thinking, Erdanser said: "Although Your Excellency the All-Seeing One may feel frustrated by something that he did not predict, and he will also be worried about the increasing nihilism in his prophecies for the future, but since he clashed with the God of War of Order, he has gradually given up the idea of putting everything into a predictable and predetermined destiny trajectory. Now, His Excellency the All-Seeing One, although deeply worried about the emergence of more and more people with a nihilistic destiny in this world, still maintains a cautious attitude of observation. β
"Hehe, has the God of Prophecy finally discovered that his foreknowledge is actually so powerless for the real future?" Dugu Feng sneered lightly. In the dark, above the gods, there may be a powerful person who truly predicts all the future and weaves all destinies, but this will never be a small god like Safras who prophesies with weak divine power.
If time or fate is a long river, then the gods of this world are just a wooden raft or a small boat floating on the water, which can roughly see the direction of the water in front of them, but cannot really overlook the long river of time and fate, and take all the changes in the future into their eyes.
"Fate always favors someone special!" Eldanthor was not a follower of His Excellency the All-Seeing, and naturally would not be angry or angry at the Killing Princess's taunt of the King of Prophecy. In fact, Eldanthor is a wise, mild-tempered, and very patient old dragon, and most of the time, he is not as irascible and arrogant as the rest of his kind, preferring to hide in the shadows and observe silently rather than show his strength to the poor mortals.
As he once told the harpists of the Northlands, "I prefer to watch other people struggle, and only strike when they need to." Sometimes, there is something in my heart that is full of passion, so I am energetic and fight on the continent of Faeron according to my own wishes......"
Eldanthor prefers to observe undetected, or at least overlooked. This habit has given him a wealth of experience and knowledge, which can range from how to cook according to certain complex recipes, to the structure of the sewers and alleys of many cities, to what kind of treasure is buried there.
Of course, because of this unique hobby of observation, Eldanthor has a deeper understanding of the kingdom, and he is more familiar with their stories than the mortals themselves, and can faintly see the shadow of fate in their seemingly coincidental adventures.
"Life is a sacred trial, and the darling favored by fate will always be the winner in this trial!" "Life is a crucible of personality and spirit, and sharp thinking and rich memories are the most precious treasures, so Eldanser never forgets anything." β
"Twelve centuries, what happened on this continent, everything I have experienced, not a single image has been missed. Whether it was a face I had glimpsed in the crowd of Cormier ten years ago, or the form of gambling I had seen through the crack in the hatch of a ship as I hurried past ten centuries ago, none of this has been forgotten! β
Eldanser's voice was deep and metallic, with the unhurried rhythm characteristic of an old man, and like his brass dragon counterparts, he was also extremely talkative, a talkative chatter. Obviously, although Eldanthor is a maverick loner among the brass dragons, it is only that he has little interest in communicating with his own dragon kind, and he is very happy to communicate with short-lived and passionate mortals, especially young, powerful and beautiful female mortals like Princess Kill, and share some unique stories and insights from his long life experience.
ββ¦β¦ However, in these twelve centuries, I have never seen so many mortals favored by fate as I do now! "In the Northlands, in the beautiful Lady Erastro's sheltered Silvermoon City, I missed the rise of the God of War, but I also observed some interesting people. A soul from another world, a body created by a powerful lichβa new life created from the flesh and blood of celestial oracles, abyssal demons, and dragons, living in ignorance in Silvermoon City. I secretly observed him for ten years, although he was ordinary, and his personality did not have many shining points except for caution, but the favor of fate still kept him at the center of various whirlpools, although he himself did not understand ......"
"In Waterdeep, the city guarded by the beautiful Lady Leila* Silverhand and her husband Kelburn* Blackstaff, I have seen another young man who has been favored by fate, who, like most of the young people of this world, is frivolous, active, passionate, and of course very talented, and I have seen him several times when I have observed him, but no matter how dangerous and how close he is to death, he can always survive in desperate situations, and even awaken his talents in desperate situations. This is an extremely fortunate darling of fate, although he does not have the powerful body and bloodline of a dragon, but it is clear that there is a very powerful being who protects him in the dark......"
"I lurk among the blades, roaming the world of Ferron, and for twelve centuries have seen almost countless races and intelligent beings. However, the number of mortals favored by fate has never been so numerous as it is now! β
Obviously, the dragon that hides in the blade roams in the world of Faeron, as he said, is completely random under the arrangement of fate, practicing the way of Osavito, he is about to take the last step, he is extremely close to immortality, and he also has an almost god-like perception of those mortals favored by fate.
"His Excellency the All-Seeing One once issued an oracle to his priests, asking them to pay attention to young people who have recently shown extraordinary talent and have been favored by luck and fate. It seems that in the prophecy of His Excellency the All-Seeing, although there are people on the continent who are favored by fate for a while, although there are people in various regions, the most concentrated and unpredictable area is at Baldur's Gate! β
Eldanser chattered unhurriedly about why he was here: "In the turbulent years of the past, Baal fell in the Baldur's Gate area. Now, the Sons of Baal are scattered across the land, the divinity of killing is on the rise, and the throne of killing is calling for a new master. Fate has long been predestined, and Baldur's Gate will be the beginning of the journey of the Sons of Killing. β
"It's just that so many Miracle Children favored by fate in the Baldur's Gate area, so many Destiny Nihilistic Ones who cannot be predicted by His Excellency the All-Seeing One, have added more unpredictable variables to the battle for the throne of the Sons of Baal. The gods are full of worries! β
"So, Lord Eldanther, what is your position? The gods are watching the fate of the Son of Baal, and at this time, what is the position of you who have come to this place, to me? Dugu Feng's gaze stared at the tufted eyebrows of Erdanse's body through the obstacles, a large prickly "beard" growing on his jaw, and a pair of extremely wise big eyes.
"Me?" Eldanther smiled lowly, and his wise eyes, which always seemed to "sparkle with happiness from the heart," showed a look of interest: "What thing in this world could be more pleasant than the struggle of mortals?" The mortals who are favored by fate have magnificent adventures and legendary deeds that ordinary people cannot touch. As a bystander, how could you miss this story that caught the attention of the gods? β
"So, you deliberately hid in the blade of the sword, wanting to hide by my side and observe all this?" Dugu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked noncommittally.
"Of course."
There was no trace of shame or embarrassment in the face of voyeurism being revealed, or rather, for this old dragon who was accustomed to hiding and peeking into the world of Pheron, voyeurism was never an immoral thing.
"Although the miracle child favored by fate is like a star, your existence is still the most brilliant one!" "A child of destiny who is the brightest of them must have a more pleasant struggle." β
"Huh!"
Dugu Feng smiled lightly, slowly stood up, looked at El Danse, and said, "When you are watching fate, fate is also watching you at the same time!" β
"Eldanthor, the dragon that hides in the blade! Have you reached the final step of your Osavetto path, and you only need the last trial to gain immortality! β
"What?"
Eldanser couldn't help frowning slightly, the path of Osavito he practiced was an extremely secret thing, and so far, no one knew where he had come. And how did the killing princess in front of him know that he was only one last test away from attaining immortality?
Moreover, the hostility contained in the bland words of the killing princess made the wise Eldanthor secretly wary, he had already seen too many mortals who were hostile to him for various reasons in his long career.
Although Eldanser is a mild-tempered old dragon, he will not show mercy to those who dare to provoke him.
"Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, although there is no catastrophe in this world, but any destiny task needs to go through all kinds of difficult tasks and trials to sharpen, and in the last step of the destiny task, there may also be a task boss that needs to be beaten."
Dugu Feng said lightly: "There is no difference between the heavenly calamity, the human calamity, and the final boss." O dragon hidden in the blade, since your path to Osavito has reached the final step, let me help you again! β
"I hold the sword of killing, and I carry the calamity of luck."
"Eldanther, let your final trial be the beginning of my reign of calamity!"
"Defeat me, or turn into the sword of slaughter in my hand, until the calamity of killing is established, and you will be liberated and become an immortal and invincible dragon."
