Chapter 23: Freedom
"The hairpin we escorted is probably a relic of the last Heavenly Afternoon. It is an entity that has fused the power of blessings and emotions in its lifetime. As long as you inherit the power of the hairpin, you can become the new king of horses......" The witch continued to explain, "And the Leburney family seems to have the physique to inherit this magical power. Moreover, the previous King of Horses was the ancestor of the Liberty family, and according to unwritten conventions, it was only the Liberney family who inherited the power of the Horse King. Do you understand...... We've sent a god to the Lebony family......"
Ye Fan hadn't heard of such a thing as the inheritance of relics, and he thought it was quite fresh. He remembered the word "snow" engraved on its body, but what did it have to do with its power?
Ye: "What is the power of the noon of the sky?" ”
Witch: "It is said to mean 'freedom', and in some ancient languages it also means 'endless space'. It's endless magic, isn't it...... I can't imagine it anyway. ”
The streets of the restaurant are bustling with people, and their conversations are drowned out in the hustle and bustle. The afterglow of the setting sun slowly obscured in the distance, and night could be regarded as falling.
The witch smiled wickedly, "Why are you so interested?? Do you want to have this power too? Want to take it away? ”
Ye Fan was a little flustered by what she said, and quickly transferred to her: "I didn't think so...... What about you? ”
"I'm sure I don't," the witch fed the cat with a mouthful, looking like she had been quiet for years, "In my grandmother's words, that power is more like a curse." ”
Ye: "? Why? ”
"Powerful things come at a price," the witch: "Even the good things in this world come with the bad." Good things will come to an end. Isn't it a joke that such a divine power is stared at by the whole world and is said to be free. ”
"No way!" The cat grabbed her spoon, and she took the spoon and pulled the river with the cat. He also said, "I don't want to have that kind of freedom." What I want is real freedom, to see everywhere, to play everywhere, and to walk the world all over again~~"
"......" Ye: "But you are now in Jingting Siya." ”
Is that also freedom?
"Hee-hee, you don't know this, I've been to many places before I came to Jingteiji, I've been to the country of gas in the tropical world, I've also been to the night capital of the air kingdom, and so on. But that's not enough, I still have a lot of places I want to visit, the world's first peak of Mount Siris, and the Kazan and so on. I agree to come to Jingting Division for a high bonus, hehe, as soon as the contract expires in the spring next year, I will leave immediately, and run to my sea of stars with silver~~"
Ye Fan seemed to see the life he wanted, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The two sides were silent for a while, and then Ye Fan whispered, "Can I ask how old you are now?" ”
"Shhhh And you, my dear, you have a second chance. ”
Ye: "......"
In the evening, the streets of the city of Leburney are filled with street performers, who are crowded with people and find it a little difficult to breathe.
For a moment, Ye Fan took two steps more than her, but she disappeared, no matter how she shouted, she couldn't find anyone.
Now that he was separated, he could also do what he wanted, so he searched all the way back and found the shop that could give people divination.
The bell that opened the door caught the witch's attention, and the old man, with gray temples but a heroic face, smiled meaningfully at the sight of him.
"It's a fate."
Ye Fan didn't delve into this sentence, the purpose of his coming here was very clear.
"Sit down." The witch lifted the cloth covering the magic ball and wiped it on the surface again: "Looking for someone?" Or is it a fortune teller? ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not here for divination."
The witch looked puzzled: "Not divination?" So what are you here for? ”
Ye Fan took out a necklace, the bottom of the delicate chain was inlaid with half of the broken gemstones, and the other half had disappeared, leaving only an obvious gap. The necklace was given to him by the witch before.
Since the First Battle of Saidrov, the necklace has lost its magic, and Ye Fan's desire to use teleportation magic again is no longer feasible. The chain was originally a witch's thing, but Ye Fan didn't dare to return it to her.
He didn't say anything, and told the witch to take the chain. The witch looked at it in her hand for a long time, and only giggled: "Phew! What about the things of the big families in the past. The owner of the thing is a wizard girl, right? It must be someone very important to you. Look at this appearance, this material...... It's a shame that the refinement of this stone is one of the best now. Broken like this, it's been used by others, right? ”
Ye Fan: "...... Can it be fixed? ”
"Fixed?" The witch stared straight at him: "What are you doing when you are old, young man?" Can a wizard repair a gem that belongs to a wizard? Even if the old body has the ability to repair it, there is no such good gem in this world to make up for it. ”
Ye Fan was still reluctant to give up: "Is this gem hard to find?" ”
"Let's put it this way" Witch: "You may have also heard that the materials of the Magic Gem and the Magic Pill did not exist in this world from the beginning, but were gradually born under the influence of the magic of living organisms. And this half of the gem in the old man's hand was born in ancient times after the 'traction' of the rich wizard's magic. And you know, there are no more wizards today than there were in ancient times. Such gemstones are already endangered. And you want to find them to fix it, it's tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
The meaning of this is that there is no hope. Ye Fan was very disappointed, but he couldn't do anything. I took the chain back, said I was sorry again, and I was ready to go.
"Since everyone is here, sit down and count a hexagram, right?" The witch looked at him expectantly and said, "The old body will give you a nine-and-a-half discount." ”
"No need, thank you. I don't want to do anything that adds to my worries. ”
"The type who takes their fate into their own hands? Hehe, interesting. ”
Ye Fan said in his heart: I think too much, it's just that you insist on doing business and slamming the door.
At this time, the wind chimes at the door rang loudly again, accompanied by an anxious "Master! Please count me again," a man burst into the store.
At the sight of the man, the witch's face changed dramatically.
As soon as Ye Fan heard the voice, he knew that it was Chang'an Sabstir, and he didn't even need to listen to the voice, he could guess that it was him when he saw the witch's expression. This is really unfortunate.
He can't find out he's embarrassed here.
So he covered his face and hurriedly walked out, but Chang'an still recognized him at once: "Mr. Ye?!" Why are you here?! ”
Grip check ??? Why did this man remember him, they didn't seem to have said a word yet, right? Well, I don't even need to die now.
