"They didn't believe it?"

When Xiulin began to tell about her past, Daphne, who had already looked away, quickly turned back and carefully studied Xiulin's silhouette. She must have heard a hint of regret in Xiulin's tone.

Xiulin smiled.

"Yes, who would believe a child's words?"

The rest of the story can be guessed. Someone who is unlucky encounters a monster, Xiulin's feeling is undoubtedly right, it seems that Xiulin has an amazing talent for perceiving origin magic since she was a child.

"As a result, my 'prophecy' has come true. ”

Xiulin gently closed her eyes, raised her head, and let the evening breeze stir her headscarf and pat her cheeks. Xiulin's words were like sighs, and people couldn't help but sink in their hearts. The cold night seemed to be so quiet for a moment that only the sound of camel carts driving through the sand remained.

"It wasn't a prophecy, but no one knew about me or my people at that time. The place where I used to live is quite far from the Kingdom of Fatland, and I've never heard of monsters, magic guide primordial crystals. It wasn't long before the priests of the tribe came to me and, well, what should I say, take on the task of guiding the people. ”

Xiulin snorted heavily, unable to tell whether it was helplessness or disgust, and then, as if she wanted to laugh at someone, she chuckled dryly a few times.

"Now that I think about it, I was so stupid, why did I have to work so hard to do something I couldn't have done? I'm not myself, just a so-called 'prophet' and nothing else. ”

There was silence.

Xiulin seemed to be saddened by this distant memory, and she turned sideways, leaning on the stand and closing her eyes in a daze. A sense of déjà vu silently welled up in Ivan's chest, a remorse, a self-loathing, a heavy burden that could not be let go.

"What did Sister Xiulin do?" Ivan asked in a whisper, after a moment's hesitation, and he noticed that Carlo seemed to be watching this side.

"Huh, you mean I was at that time...... No way. Do what a prophet should do. ”

Xiulin tilted her head and turned to look at Ivan. She had already regained her teasing expression.

"Ah, I don't remember a lot of things, but I remember that all the people I knew before looked at me with unfamiliar expressions, and they saluted me. Wait for me to give them an answer. Because I 'should' have received a revelation from Heaven about when it will rain. How is the harvest of the fruit trees? In what direction should the tribe migrate......"

"I would venture to ask, Miss Joan was ...... How old?" Daphne's eyes widened as if in shock.

"I was nine years old when I found the monster, when I realized I was stupid to do that. Fourteen years old. Xiulin shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

"I think I'm really different from other kids, I've read a lot of books, I've been to a lot of places, just to be a good 'prophet'. At that time, I really believed that I was chosen by God, and the fate of the tribe must be borne by me, a little girl. Oh, how is that possible...... No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't do what they expected. The law of the weather, the growth of crops, I can still know a rough idea if I pay more attention, but there are some things that I can't know in advance. accidents, birth, old age, sickness and death...... What the hell do you want me to do......"

"Yes, Miss Joan probably doesn't have the ability to 'foresee'. Daphne lowered her eyes sympathetically.

No wonder she always feels that Xiulin is very keen, because, when she was a child, she had to pay attention and observe everywhere. Xiulin didn't get any revelation from heaven, she relied on her own efforts, trying her best to meet the expectations of her people. However, this expectation is simply a burden that she can't bear.

"I don't know what foreknowledge is. Xiulin sighed, "At that time, I was so stupid, thinking that other people's requirements were my only way. There is no doubt that I have often let down the priests and the tribesmen. I believed the priests, thinking that I was not religious, that I had done something wrong, and that I had to accept the 'punishment of the gods'. Fasting and stuff is a common thing. Miss Xue Ling knows that we people believe in the 'Fire Phoenix', so I always stay alone and pray by the sacred fire. However, thanks to my experience at that time, my mastery of fire-type magic was very good from the time I first learned to use magic magic weapons. ”

Xiulin actually shook her finger triumphantly, as if she really didn't realize that her stories had made everyone who heard them feel bad. Ivan roughly understood what Xiulin hated, and the most disgusting thing was probably the self who was obviously in pain, but could not do anything about fate.

This feeling is really terrible.

"What happened when I was fourteen?" said Daphne's voice, filled with regret and sadness. Xiulin was laughing, but she felt sad for Xiulin when she was a child.

"Nothing special happened, but the burden was accumulating little by little, and even a camel would be crushed to death. As for me, I don't have any other thoughts, but I don't want to see the respectful, suspicious, and fearful faces of the people of the desert again. As a result, I escaped from the city where we lived. ”

"Well, then, Miss Joan is a descendant of the Great Tribe......" Daphne suddenly thought of something.

"Almost. Xiulin's tone revealed a faint contempt, "I just walked along the Emerald River all the way north, and I was about to die of guilt in my heart." I didn't expect that I was still making stupid mistakes at that time. I used to hear from the merchants of the north that the country of the northerners was different from the tribe of the Kui people, and I wanted to flee to a different country, so that I would never have to do anything stupid for others. As a result, I arrived in the Kingdom of Frankland. ”

Ivan gasped.

Although Xiulin said it lightly, it was by no means an easy journey. A fourteen-year-old girl travels through the desert to places she never knew existed. Ivan had a strange feeling for some reason, could it be that Xiulin would sympathize with Aisha, who was alone looking for a life-saving benefactor, and it had something to do with her experience back then?

Perhaps it was because he noticed Ivan's gaze and unconsciously glanced into the car, Xiulin hugged him suddenly, and Ivan, who was caught off guard, suddenly leaned on Xiulin's plump and elastic chest.

Uh-

"How is it? Think your sister Xiulin was just as nonsense as a little girl when she was young?" Xiulin smiled evilly as she reached out to pinch Ivan's face.

"Hey ......"

Ivan pushed Xiulin in a sneer, his face was uncontrollably hot, even if Ivan was several years younger than her, he was a very normal boy, how could this woman be so inattentive?

"I think you're more nonsense...... Let go, let go of my ......"

"Kid, you're just shy and the cutest. Xiulin unceremoniously pinched it a few times before letting go of her hand, with an evil smile on her face like Yin had succeeded.

"Okay, let's not talk about the two of us. Xiulin's tone suddenly calmed down.

"Ivan, you just say it right here. Do you have anything to do with your Lord Laxis and Master Selin when you go on vacation?"
