Laplace said: "The human heart is as unpredictable as fate. ”

"I want to ask you questions," Joey said. ”

"Say it, old friend. ”

Joey looked in the direction of the cave in the distance, "If Constantine wasn't her son, but just an ordinary person, would you have taken a fancy to him at the seminary and directed him to the City of Dawn?"

Laplace said: "Even if he is not her son, a descendant of His Excellency Faustus, I will still stick to my choice, he is suitable to enter the City of Dawn, this is no longer fate, it is my personal judgment." ”

"Why?"

Laplace stared at Joey with a smile, "Ordinary people think that entering the magical holy land depends on their superior talent, but do you remember what was the most important thing for the Star Tower to choose a trialist for the City of Dawn?"

Joey thought back to the story of the year and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's the desire to become stronger." ”

"That's right. Laplace said softly, "The most important thing for the World Tree Council to select trialists is not qualifications, for Faust, in order to enter the organization he founded, the desire to have power itself is far more important than great power. ”

"The Infinite Plane is vast and vast, and there are beings with greater talents than we do, but fate ultimately chooses us, because we all, or at least have all had a strong desire for power. ”

"Everyone who steps into the City of Dawn has strong enough reasons to pursue power, some for revenge. Laplace glanced at Siegfried behind him,

"Some people are here to restore the country. The old astrologer glanced again at Salin, who was standing beside him, "There are people who simply want to pursue mysteries and knowledge, like people like Ilminster. ”

And a god like Innocent wants to save all the people of the world. Joey said with a slight sarcasm, "Could it be that even such an idiot will be considered by you?"

"The content of desires is meaningless, the World Tree Council doesn't care about these at all, and it doesn't matter how unrealistic your ideals are, as long as you firmly believe that you are right, and you are mentally prepared to give everything for your desires, you are already qualified to enter the City of Dawn. Laplace said calmly.

Joey asked, "In that case, what are your desires?" Laplace, what made you step into the City of Dawn?"

The astrologer's silver robe fluttered, and the eyes of the mountains appeared in the depths of the stars, "to witness the day when fate was shattered." ”

Joey was taken aback.

"At first, I wanted to know the fate of everything, but then I realized that I couldn't do it at all, not even as powerful as St. Faust. ”

Laplace laughed to herself, "As I've gotten stronger in astrology, and even able to cast great prophecies, my mind has slowly changed. ”

"Rather than controlling the fate of everything, I want to see the moment when the established fate is shattered, there is a supreme beauty beyond expectations. ”

Laplace whispered, "When the shackles of fate are broken, the sound must be extremely beautiful, right?"

"But what does all this have to do with Constantine?"

"Observing the fate of those who can change the world is the eternal pleasure of all astrologers. The old astrologer laughed in a hoarse voice, "I really want to see where that young man with an ancient destiny can go in the future?"

Perhaps, he has already started his journey now. ”

As soon as the words fell, outside the cave, a mage wearing a pitch-black robe slowly appeared.

Seeing the young man's familiar face and figure, Roland breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's finally back." ”

Siegfried pursed his lips, "This stinky boy has finally appeared." ”

......

Constantine stepped on the familiar and unfamiliar mountain path, and following the path of instinct, he came to the crowd.

The first thing I saw was Joey and Laplace, and next to them stood a half-elven mage with a handsome face and dressed in a simple wizard's robe, and next to them were three young men he knew.

Euler nodded to Constantine.

Roland handed Dawn to Constantine.

Siegfei leaned over, patted Constantine on the shoulder, and grinned: "Little Constantine, you have grown up, and the teacher should be very happy when he sees it, ha, you kid has actually become a magician!"

Constantine looked at the rugged and bold young man in front of him from Roland's hand, remembered the time when they played together in their youth, and couldn't help laughing: "Long time no see, Siegfried, is the teacher okay now?"

"Teacher..... he left, I heard that he had returned to the Savage Continent. Siegfried said with some regret.

Constantine was silent for a moment, "What about you, where are you going?"

"I've told you before that I have two goals in my life. Siegfried said. "Do you remember?"

Constantine said, "I remember that one of your goals was to cut off the head of the Emperor of the Dragonlance Dynasty. ”

Hearing this shocking words, Roland on the side opened his mouth slightly, but finally sighed and shook his head.

"Yes, so, I need to have enough strength. Siegfried said bluntly, "Before leaving, the teacher told me that if an astrologer in a silver robe came to me one day and let me enter the City of Dawn, I could choose to promise him, as you can see now." ”

Constantine was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to Laplace and Joey, who were standing not far away.

"Little one, we meet again. Laplace spoke again, the old astrologer's demeanor was unassailable in any situation, and his tone was extremely gentle, "I think you remember what I said to you when we first met?"

Constantine's memory brings up a picture of the old astrologer meeting him for the first time in the astrology tower of the Augustinian Seminary, telling him that there is a place in this world called the World Tree Council.

In the depths of the Grand Temple of Radiance, the Pope opened the dusty memories in the pendant with his own hands, and did not hesitate to break his magical oath to reveal the location of the City of Daybreak to him.

From that time on, Constantine knew that his future would definitely intersect with that legendary place.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly.

Constantine looked at Laplace quietly: "Your Excellency the astrologer, you are from the World Tree Council?"

"The World Tree Council is a very large organization, and I belong to a branch of this organization called the [Star Tower]. Laplace said, "One of the missions of the Star Tower is to discover those talented young people on the continent and provide them with the opportunity to enter the City of Dawn to cultivate trials, so that they can obtain more resources and opportunities. ”

"But what good is it for you to do so?" asked Constantine earnestly. "The council shouldn't charge tuition, right?"

"That's a good question. Laplace smiled, "However, young man, don't forget, the World Tree Council does not belong to any country, nor is it attached to any secular power, we were originally just an organization established by a group of magicians, for us, worldly interests are meaningless at all, we give you a wider sky, in order to experience you, so that you will one day have enough ability to open up more distant stars." ”
