Chapter 22: The Weaver of Death

PS: Chapter 19 The princess's love affair has been slightly modified, thank you for the valuable advice of the book friend Crazy Koala, and I hope you can support me more in the unsatisfactory places in the article, thank you.

"Everything that seems to happen by chance is actually an inevitable factor behind it. Lina sat upright and watched the whole magic show of Pannis and Vivien, and when she heard Erlan's words, she replied lightly: "This is the original words of the sage Mira, so nothing in the world is a simple coincidence, it is all a reason that people find for self-comfort." ”

"Are you saying that there is a ghost behind this?" Erlan was stunned and said in disbelief, "It's unlikely, everything looks normal." ”

"I don't know if you've heard of a profession. Pannis sat down again, held his chin and said leisurely: "This kind of profession is very rare and rare, and many people have never even heard of it. ”

"Wait, that bunch of candy balls over there. Erlan pointed to the convoy and said, "Don't you need to clean it up? ”

"Don't worry, it's still early for the temperature to drop to a critical point. Pannis said slowly: "And it's easy to deal with, just move the car away after a while, splash it with water, and you'll be fine." ”

"It's that simple?" Al Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, what did you just say?

"Yes, a rare profession. "This profession is a branch of the Assassins, a very annoying profession that is hated by almost everyone because they are so annoying. ”

"What is it?" asked Catherine, "I have never heard of such a profession." ”

"Weaver of Death. Pannis gently spat out the name: "Regarded as a man who prepares death." ”

"I really haven't heard of it. The three girls shook their heads together to show their strangeness, and Catherine asked, "Is the characteristic of this kind of professional person to cause accidents like just now?"

"No, it's not an accident. "It is to create countless coincidences, so that the target dies in coincidences, and the target himself will not know how he died, and of course, the people around the target will not know." ”

"Let's explain it in detail. Catherine frowned: "This kind of profession is just too strange. ”

"Lina is right, behind all accidents there is inevitability. Just like just now. Pannis explains from the beginning: "If we go back in time to the results, we can see the origins. First of all, there is the location where the car is parked, Captain Ayrand. Why are the cars parked there in a neat row?"

"Stop there to keep the wind out. "Look at our camp," said Erlan, "there is a wall of the mill not far from the left side, but there is nothing on the right side, and it is very windy at night in winter, so we must find a way to make a wall of carriages to keep out the wind." ”

"Yes. That's the inevitability. Pannis said, "As long as you choose this place to camp, then the carriages will inevitably line up in this direction." So, the village chief agreed that we should use the site near the mill as a camp, but why did you choose this place?"

"It's spacious and flat. "It's a drying ground for drying grain in front of the mill, and it's the best place to be a camp, well, I see, it's inevitable." ”

"Next, let's use barbecue for food. Pannis asked, "Do you remember what the cause was?"

"Is there a cause? When the two of us were negotiating with the village chief, we happened to see a sheep on the side of the road. "I'm worried that if I go into the wilderness, I won't be able to find food. When the time comes, you can only fill your stomach with dry bread, which will lead to a drop in the morale of the team, so is it inevitable that everyone will have a good meal together tonight?"

"If you don't see the sheep, will you go and ask the village chief to buy it? "Then the cause of the incident is that you saw a sheep, but why is there a sheep there?" Don't forget the time, it was getting dark, and the shepherds had already driven the cattle and sheep back to their homes in the cattle and sheep pen, and it was unlikely that they would be encountered casually on the street, but we happened to meet them. Don't forget, after all, even the village chief couldn't tell whose family the sheep was, so he still collected the money for the sheep."

"Someone bought the sheep in advance, put it on the road we had to pass through in advance, and then let us buy it successfully. Ellan thought and said, "Is that what you mean? How can you be sure we're going to bake it?"

"It doesn't have to be roasted, it's the same with other cooking methods, and it doesn't even have to be this sheep. I believe that even if we don't succeed in attracting the attention of this sheep, there will still be a lot of things in the back that will prompt us to buy a fresh livestock for dinner. As long as it's not finished meat bought in a butcher shop. Whatever you do, you will leave a lot of wreckage. Pannis explains: "The wreckage and the scent will attract the free-range dogs smoothly, and this is his first step." ”

"Okay, no need to go on. Erlan said in a deep voice, "Your idea does have some truth. ”

"That's how the Weavers of Death act. "They don't usually fight, they often just use all kinds of means to create the kind of coincidences we encounter today to achieve their goals and complete their tasks," Pannis said. People who don't know this kind of profession often think that they accidentally caused the problem, but in fact, every step of his life was woven by the weaver. It's scary to be targeted by a high-level Death Weaver, because even if you know he's staring at you, you can't tell which of the things happening around you is normal and which is a set trap, and everything you do has a high chance of your eventual death. Unless you find them out and kill them, but weavers are the most hidden professions, and trying to find them is a very difficult and almost impossible task. So, some of their goals often end up not dead, but driven crazy,"

"Can't you solve it?" Catherine said with a headache, "It's so annoying to have such a person with you, you have to find a way to solve it." ”

"It's hard to solve, but the good thing is that the level of this weaver is very low. Pannis said: "We should only meet the most basic weavers, the coincidence of the arrangement does not seem natural enough, and the traps designed are not hidden and interlocking enough, which is a blessing in misfortune." ”

"Is this just the lowest weaver?" asked Catherine in surprise, "I can't imagine how terrible a great weaver can be." ”

"I've heard of a weaver who once had a classic fight. Pannis said: "That time he took people to assassinate targets, and there were a lot of targets, more than a dozen people in total. It took him three months to kill these people one by one, and each one died by coincidence. When he had killed four of them, the rest of them became alert, unaware that the Weaver of Death had targeted them, and they thought they had offended the Grim Reaper. In order to survive, those who are alive try to do everything they can to ensure their safety, but unfortunately, the trap of the weavers is not something that can be avoided by being careful alone, and they are still being reduced. By the time of the last four, they had mobilized all the forces they could muster, and were under the close protection of bodyguards for twenty-two hours a day, and one of them even took refuge in the demigods. Even so, it still had no effect, and although they were lucky enough to avoid several deadly traps, in the end they could not escape the weaving of death, and even under the protection of the demigods, all four of them were finally wiped out. ”

"Luckily, we've come up with the weakest weaver. Erlan said with trepidation: "But I don't understand, why is he eyeing us?"

"It seems that Odin didn't tell you before leaving. Pannis began to talk nonsense: "He received the news that there is a lover of Freya, who was hit too hard by the news that Freya is about to get married, and wants to create some disturbances so that the wedding will not take place in the end, I guess the weaver we met was invited by the princess's admirer, so you see, he is targeting gifts, not everyone's lives." ”

"No, I can't. Erlan thought for a moment, stood up and turned his head to leave: "I have to go and explain things to the children, otherwise it will be too dangerous to continue in such ignorance, I want to keep them focused and ready to deal with any accidents." ”

"Don't leak the truth of the matter when mobilizing. Catherine added, "The president has instructed many times not to make things known to passers-by, otherwise it will have a great impact on Freya's heart, which is the last thing the president wants to see." ”

"I see. Erlan paused, thought for a moment before continuing to leave: "Don't worry, I won't let them know the truth." ”

"Phew, Pannis, I'm glad you found out. Catherine waited for Erlan to leave before sighing, "Otherwise, our mission will probably fail on the first day." How did you find out?"

"As you said before, the other party's purpose is to prevent the wedding, and the easiest way to stop the wedding is to prevent us from arriving in Liberty City on time. Pannis explains, "That's when I first thought of gift cars. Traditionally, these carefully selected gifts are a must-have for weddings, and once they are lost, it takes a lot of time to re-do them, and if it were me, I would definitely choose to destroy the gifts to hinder the wedding, simple and effective. So, I immediately started to pay attention to the convoy, and it happened that someone broke something there, and I would definitely take it seriously. But even so, I didn't expect my opponent to be a weaver, until I remembered that there was a candy with strange properties, and then I could guess the identity and method of the opponent by summarizing all the information. ”

"Then now it's up to you to defend against the other party's weaving. Catherine said helplessly: "We don't have any experience in dealing with this kind of profession, and we don't know what to pay attention to. ”

"Don't worry, I'll always be careful. Pannis nodded: "Once there are signs of danger, I will notify you as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you. Catherine pressed Pannis's shoulder: "To protect Freya, come on." ”

"For Freya?" Pannis said with a sudden bitter face, "If the reward for the mission is that she can speak in a normal way, maybe I can still have some motivation, but now, I can't lift my spirits when I think about it." (To be continued.) )
