"Do you really feel abandoned? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf you don't notice it yourself, I can help remind you...... Don't you feel that some people are always complimenting you on your beauty, but they often look at the shackles?" the old lady suddenly answered the question in a very sly tone, which made Alice stunned.

"It's very simple, you can understand what I'm going to say next. But I'm so big, of course I'll only say it once...... Listen carefully?" she whispered a few words of mystery and said to Alice in a serious manner, "because although these people sympathize with you, they cannot help you." So, there's a rule that doesn't hurt you: if you can't help, show appreciation. Self-righteous, high-minded concern only stings others. That kind of approach is exactly the same as looking at people from the moral high ground. ”

These sharp words really pierced Alice's heart. She realizes to her dismay, that almost no one treats her like a normal girl when they interact with her. is either disdain and disgusting everywhere, or the kind of "care" that makes people uncomfortable is revealed between the lines. Rejecting their "good intentions" will also be regarded as ignorant of good and bad.

"The reason why your master adorned your shackles and gave you this beautiful eye patch is also to make it easier for others to distract their eyes, so that they will not be so embarrassed that they don't know what to say. The soothsayer's voice was rather leisurely and old, and he said something that made Alice blush: "Of course, it has something to do with your good looks. You can't take off the shackles, so you have to decorate them nicely, at least to match your appearance?"

The communication between the old lady and the prayer person is carried out in the bottom of the heart, so outsiders cannot hear it. But Alice, because her master was nearby, naturally blushed.

"I—I also want to ask, what is my fate in the future?" Alice hurriedly gathered her emotions and asked this question that many people would ask.

"Who knows...... As a soothsayer, I don't say irresponsible things. It's a pity that the old lady just leisurely gave an unclear and seemingly profound sentence: "When a watermelon falls from a tree, it will fall out of many possible cracks." The same is true of everyone's fate. All I can control is almost all that cracks can be. However, there are always exceptions. ”

Didn't the watermelon grow in the ground? Although Alice didn't react at the time, when she thought about it later, she was completely confused: but, since she said so, is there something deep in it...... (Later, no matter how I thought about it, I thought she was a slip of the tongue)

"Well, good. It seems to have almost scared you. Is there any problem with that, boy?" said the old lady suddenly, and Alice was confused: "I still have to go and get the money for afternoon tea." Oh, no problem? bye~"

Then, as soon as she said this, she immediately jumped off the stool and ran. There was no time for Alice to ask questions. This guy is definitely afraid of trouble, so he slipped away in advance, the so-called fortune teller, is such a guy......

...... In addition to pretending to be mysterious, there is also a bit of philosophy that maybe even she doesn't understand.

And he is also a mage who can forget about watermelons in the ground, and his intelligence is worrying.

Despite this, it is true that what she said was not casual. The old lady did give Beverly quite useful advice, and it was almost eerily useful.

...... Well, except for watermelons.

The old lady believed in the goddess of fate, and it is said that the metaphysics related to the goddess of fate is the easiest to come true. She is happy to accept prayers of all kinds of equivalent exchanges: such as giving someone a point of her luck. Fate is a very mysterious thing.

After talking to the believers of the goddess of fate, I felt that this was even more so. Fate is indeed unpredictable. Because the future direction involves the influence of many factors: the details of each person, every event...... will affect the future.

Space-time and prophecy spells are difficult to learn, and a big factor is the difficulty of getting started. It is difficult for magicians to understand the rather vague terms and generalizations of the subject. There is simply no way for anyone to put together an absolutely systematic piece of information. Only teleportation and flashing are a little easier to understand, but there are very few that can be used well.

Even the learning methods of illusion are much more systematic than they are.

Feeling the cool air currents of Charlotte's high-speed flight, Alice inhaled the cold air mixed with snowflakes and felt extremely relaxed. Originally, I was worried that a pursuer would catch up, but now it seems that I was thinking too much: the enemy obviously has no ability to pursue us for the time being. If I had to say it, I just could put some spells and something to track it down.

However, in the surrounding air, there was no mana fluctuation that Alice could feel. But detectable magic generally hides the magical aura very well, and it is natural not to detect it. After all, the Dragon Knight is not a professional mage, but has received similar induction training.

Suddenly, a loud, eerie sound came from below, causing Alice's ears to twitch. This was followed by a violent "grunt" sound. Charlotte spun around to deflect away from the unknown attack, but was still shot in the abdomen, causing a violent explosion. Flustered by the violent shaking, Alice's heart trembled: this sound seems to be some kind of large creature?

Moreover, it also fires the kind of bombs that are designed to siege cities and target large monsters...... But the sound of the explosion was rather strange, and it did not appear to be some incendiary explosives, but air blasting.

Sensing the flow of magic around her, Alice became more and more convinced that there was nothing out of the ordinary...... It doesn't look like a creature is attacking us with a magic bullet. Charlotte is quite resistant to magic.

...... The kind of explosive bomb that was fired just now seems to be a little too big, right? Alice panicked: listening to the sound, it seemed to be dozens of meters wide...... Both are bigger than Charlotte's.

Charlotte seems to ...... Feeling the dragon girl's wings flapping listlessly and shaky, Alice panicked, so she immediately tapped the dragon's back with her shield to ask, "Are you okay?"

Receiving the signal from Alice, Charlotte only gasped heavily, and replied softly, "No...... It's okay. I can do it. ”

Alice suddenly felt a panic in her heart: Charlotte was obviously not very afraid of pain, why was she so weak after being hit by an arrow......

Also, where is this enemy? Charlotte has been flying for so long, she must have left the city. Besides, if we were still in the city, they wouldn't have had so much trouble trying to defeat us before.

In an instant, the second bolt flew with a roar, heading straight for the dragon.
