Chapter 129: Fate
Chapter 129: Fate
"It was good to go to Nord. The goblin nodded, "You should have a place to calm down and think about it." If possible, it's best not to come back. β
Father pinched the reins of the horse, and with a grim face, he took the horse from the simple carriage and put it on top of our own carriage. I looked out through the cracks in the curtain of the carriage: Mr. Goblin I had seen standing on the edge of a huge log, and farther away, a man dressed like Mr. Goblin stood quietly, with the help of Yuu dealing with the knots of the rope and the agitated horses.
The morning weather was cool, the sky was blue and high, the air was full of the scent of the forest, moss crawled in the shadows of the stones, and colorful mushrooms popped up on the wet ground of the chΓ‘o. The dawn forest is dotted with a light gray mist, and some wild huΔ are scattered over the meadows, stretching all the way to the depths of the forest.
"Mr. Goblin," Father straightened, "I still don't understand what you mean, and I don't know why you want me to go. β
"I don't mean anything else, Arcadeo." I noticed that the goblin's eyes were even tinged with pity, "Go north, don't look back, the world behind you isn't for you." β
"Is this sarcastic to me?"
"If I want to be sarcastic about you, do I need to come all this far?"
"Then why can't you tell me what the hell is going on in the South? If you're really here to warn me of the dangers ahead, then just say it directly. If that's not the case, then you should tell me why the hell you're chasing me. β
The goblin pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.
At this time, the person who had not spoken in the distance walked over, and the conversation between my father and Mr. Goblin stopped.
Father's mouth moved, "Mr. Sabel." β
"Yes." The man nodded, "Don't ask again, we have absolutely no ill intentions here, we are just here to remind you that your situation is very dangerous now, and it may be even more dangerous in the near future." Take our advice, and in any case, don't return home in the near future: whatever you hear, hold your breath. β
His father's shirt was stained with sweat and mud, and he threw the reins in his hand to Yuu, then turned around.
"I've thought about it a lot. There are a lot of things I can't put down, maybe that's a disadvantage. I know that I hate the time, some people say that I am a farmer at heart, so I will help the common people again and again; There are also people who say that my family is fundamentally a bunch of traitors, they say that my father betrayed Rhodok, and I later betrayed Svadia, and now I have betrayed both. Well, I'll admit all of that. Now I just want to take my family away from right and wrong, and I think there is a more suitable place for me to go. I was ready to be criticized, but now you suddenly said to me, 'Go, don't come back, the road ahead is dangerous, there is no hope of returning,' and you don't tell me what happened, what do I think? β
"Arcadio," the goblin shook his head, "this is for your own good." If you knew, it could be torture for you. And as long as you endure this period of time, everything will come out in the future, and you will know better than I do. And I reckon you'll know everything in a month'''"
"Are you so undecided?"
I could hear the impatience in my father's words, for more than half an hour, the goblin had been doing everything on my father's behalf after he went to the Northland. I watched my father's attitude get worse and worse, and I felt like his emotions were spiraling out of control. Especially when the goblins always avoided talking about him, his father's anger could not help but surge.
Both gentlemen were silent, and the father continued, "I don't think there's anything worth being afraid of. I've seen so many soldiers die in front of me, I've seen whole cities burning, I've ridden thousands of miles on horseback and fought repeatedly. What else is there for me to be so secretive? Is it that kind of prophecy again? My family will fall, won't it? Well, you can show me how Jill became the lord of Ranger City. I think there was this part of the prophecy. β
The father asked, and judging by his father's expression, it was obvious that he felt that the words of the two gentlemen were nonsense.
"Arcadio, this kind of mystical thing may only be of interest to stargazers and astronomers like us. Why did you get back on the topic again? β
The father stared at the goblin without saying a word, and the expression told the goblin that if he didn't make Jill's story clear, then there was no need to continue the rest of the conversation.
"Okay'''Arcade, if you have to know, then do you know Jill's whereabouts all these years?"
"I don't know, but I've been asking."
"Inquiring?" Sabellu smiled sarcastically, "I'm afraid you always ask someone to go to your childhood friend under the bridge on the dock, in the slums of the city, or in the mines in the suburbs, right?" Because you just believe that he will go to these places and make a living. You've actively ignored some of the new figures in the North Sea, such as the foreman on a construction site, the president of a new university, and the guild leader on a dock. You haven't asked any of these people, because you subconsciously feel that these people must have nothing to do with you, right? β
"What are you talking about?" Father asked, frowning.
"Years ago, a lame lad went to the North Sea alone, where he sought the place of a small foreman; Then, when King Nord tried to cut off the great local guilds, this lad stepped in to help King Nord clear the local obstacles; Later, the young man gathered the exiled Zen masters from all over the world to his side. After this, he went to the swamp to summon the exiled Chanda soldiers, and rebuilt the ruined Chanda University on the plains, and this man was now leading the Chanda Legion, an ally of King Nord, less than a hundred miles from here. Do you know the name of this person? β
Father's eyes widened.
Sabel brushed his thumb to his eyebrows, then looked up at the blue sky and coughed slightly. Then he lowered his head, looked at his father with a smile, and continued, "You know, Chanda is known as the City of Rangers. So now, as the de facto leader of the Zen people, do you think this person is worthy of being called the lord of the city of rangers? β
"The man" "he"
"I said, that's not the point. The problem now is not those prophecies. Prophecy can only outline the outline of fate, but how fate will develop depends entirely on its own development. It's as if I gave you a black pocket, and it's your own business to put something in it. We are not here to ridicule you, we are just here to tell you that the current environment is very dangerous, and if possible, leave the south as soon as possible. And as someone who knows you well, the goblins and I hope that if possible, we will not get involved in the war in the south again. It's not good for you. Learn from your father, his decision was definitely one of the wisest I've ever seen. β
His father didn't seem to have come back to his senses about Sabel's words, and he seemed to be still shocked by the news he had just learned, "I went to Beihai this time, and it wasn't ' to meet." Oh my God, he's really going to become the lord of the Ranger City?!"
Sabel looked left and right, then walked over to his father with his head in shaking, "There's a place called Fandra. There, everyone knew a Mr. Bianwen. Sabel smiled and stepped back. Now, can you safely head north? β
The goblin stared at his father after listening to Sabel's words, as if trying to see the expression of agreement in his expression, but he didn't.
Father Yin gloomy, "I wouldn't be surprised if Jill could really become the lord of the city. But I remember what you said, that somewhat vicious prophecy "If it is true that Jill became the Lord of the Ranger City, then, the first person in this family", "I think, it should be my father, will he die in the middle of the wedding"
Sabel was silent, and the goblin spoke.
"Hehe" "Hehe," my father suddenly laughed to himself, his laughter was full of desolation, "When we came out this time, my father was preparing to go to Wright's wedding" Father's eyes suddenly changed, he stared at the two people in front of him and said, "Could it be that my father has already "'?" β
In the distance, the sound of the morning bird's tongue was heard, and the breeze blew gently through the treetops, and the humming sound gradually spread out in the field.
"Arcadio. There are some things that don't need to be said. As I said, the prophesied fate is just a black cloth bag that holds what to do depends on one's own actions. If I had to let the god of fate fulfill all those words I said many years ago, then I wouldn't have to be as sleepy as I am now. Arcadio, I'm no less troubled than you are to fate. But right now, your family is really going through the test. The goblins saw this with their own eyes the other day. If you want to know, just ask him. But I tell you, if you really know about your father, it's not a good thing. β
Father thought for a moment, then turned to look at Mr. Goblin, "Mr. ' first?" What happened to my father? β
The goblin was going through a great test, and I could feel him thinking about it.
Then, the goblin sighed, "If nothing went wrong." Sabel's prophecy many years ago came true. β
Father's eyes turned blood-red.
β```γβ
"Arcadio?"
"So, 'Everything is doomed, isn''
"Nothing is predestined."
"My father is dead" "My brother became a lord" "So my child, the third man in the family, my little Timmy, will he suffer the fate of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart?"
In the car, my mother hugged me tightly.
At that time, I felt the breath of despair permeate everyone, as if the cold of the hearth had suddenly been extinguished on a cold winter day.
Several people outside the car did not speak, as if everything was already predestined.
However, the goblin suddenly raised his head, "No, Arcadio. Your child will not die. β
People are looking at goblins.
The goblin waved his hand back, and the groom, who was standing idle, removed a barrel from the goblin's carriage. My father knew the barrel, and on its belly was a white dove painted with white dye, on which the year was faintly recorded, and even without looking at the numbers, the barrel could be seen from its appearance.
The goblin slowly pulled out a black package from his bosom, which was covered with something like dirt.
"Arcadio, your father's wisdom and compassion may be far beyond our comprehension. He had entrusted me with such a spice barrel, which I opened out of respect and duty to the White Dove family. And, with the help of my clever wife, we found something about Lingzun that he left behind many years ago. β
"What is this?" Father asked in a voice so low that it was barely audible. "Will my family be cursed by some kind of prophecy?"
"Arcadio." Goblin shook his head, "Maybe as Sabel said, I shouldn't be too involved in your family like this. However, I really can't help but help you, there are many things that a person should do, not what he wants to do. It may have been fate for me to do so. β
"You know what? My grandfather studied the same things as I did, but in the barbaric years, he was burned at the stake. Sometimes, fate is impermanent. Just as my family will eventually come out of the yin haze, so will your family. Fate may show you the most cruel side, but it will definitely turn around in the most critical moments. β
"I noticed that the person next to you is an Oriental, and I like the attitude of the Orientals about fate. They believe in fate, but when fate does not suit their minds, they dare not hesitate to stand in front of fate and resist fiercely. They are forever choking their own fate like the head of a viper. I don't know if God will one day punish them for this, but for me it's an inspiration, and for you, it's an example. β
"Maybe someone's prophecy inadvertently pointed out the unfortunate future of your family," the goblin glanced at Sabel coldly, "However, your family should definitely not be determined by this prophecy, and it should definitely not be fate in their own hands, if Jill obeys the arrangement of fate, then he will not choose to embark on the road to the North Sea, nor will he become the fastest rising lord If your grandfather obeyed the arrangement of fate, then he would not have left the southern kingdom in the first place, Then he is not destined to become the lord on the other side of the mountain, if you really think about these two lords around you because all this is destined, then what reason do you have to be pessimistic, no one can kill your family. β
Goblin's words didn't seem to wake his father up. My mother hugged me tighter, and she was also infected by my father's panic.
"So many things" ''Why, why did it all happen''' My father died? '''Who is it?'' Wright? ```β
"Arcadio"
β```γβ
"That prophecy is nonsense, if there really is anyone in your family who is going to die, it will definitely not be your Timmy. Because he's not the third person in your family at all."
"What?" Father looked up.
In response to his father's panic, the goblin showed a surprising composure. He threw the package from his hand and threw it at his father's feet.
"If you really believe in fate, then believe it again. Here's a document, you know, your grandfather determined something in the form of law many years ago. β
β```οΌβ
"In the name of the Holy Spirit's law, the old man decided to adopt Gil as his child, and to make Gil his first heir. The old man thinks that your world is out there, and the Valley of the White Doves should belong to those who need it the most. I don't know why the old man inherited the White Dove Valley to Jill in the first place. But judging from this document, if there is a third person in your family, then this person is not your child Timmy. Then everything about this prophecy is nonsense. Because fate has changed from this point to the very beginning. Because, if there has to be a third person''''"
The goblins raised their heads in the morning light like gods at Doomsday.
"You are the third person in the family."
