Chapter 3: The Heartless
"I gave you the power of fate, but with your current mortal body, you can't control this power, so I've simplified it, and it will help you control this power."
Char looked at the old man, "Why are you looking for a successor?" ”
"Because, I'm going to die." The old man muttered softly.
Char frowned, "If you can weave fate, will there also be death?" ”
"For human beings, death is the most terrible thing in the world, but for the eternals, death is a great blessing."
The old man muttered softly.
"It is precisely because of the finite life that people seek the meaning of life.
There will be an end to both pleasure and suffering, and when the end comes, all that remains is an endless void..."
After speaking, the old man named Destiny looked at Char and said with a smile.
"In order for you to become the owner of this house, I give you the fate of his original owner."
Char was stunned for a moment, but then, he raised his hand and put it on his heart, where the original beating heart disappeared at this moment, and there seemed to be some more knowledge in his mind that did not belong to him.
He looked at the fire on the stove not far away, and in the orange-red flames a heart was sleeping.
"You made a pact with the Demon of Fire and the Child of the Star, and you gave it the heart, and you became its master.
You have a huge amount of magic.
It won't be long before a cursed girl comes to your castle.
A witch wandering in the wilderness cursed her because she wanted to find you. ”
"If we inherit his fate, will we also inherit relationships? I don't even know her. Char complained.
"The world is different, the situation is different, and the fate will be presented in different ways, and among them, there are variables as an influence."
The old man's voice was old and calm, patiently telling Char many details.
"In this age of the end of the law, magic and the like no longer exist, and according to common sense, even if you have this fate, you can't have it all.
You'll just come across an ordinary old house and then meet a woman who isn't so lucky.
This fate does not come from this world, nor is it woven with purpose, but from the story in your mind, from the beginning to the end of the story.
Due to the lack of context, it has many logical errors.
I filled this mistake with the power of fate, and it manifested this moving castle, your magic and magic, and the rest of the world, in a world that was about to enter the end of the law....
In order to make this fate run perfectly according to the weaving.
This is one of the applications of the power of fate.
However, the consumption is also a little more than the average weaving fate.
As for the rest of the usage, you will naturally learn it later. ”
After a pause, the old man continued.
"Because you lose your heart, you also lose your human emotions, you lose good and evil.
Moreover, because of the contract with the demon, with the use of your magic power, you will be at risk of becoming a demon.
But after that, you will be redeemed by that woman and regain your feelings. ”
He whispered in a deep gaze.
"Whether you have this contract or not, after becoming a weaver, a long life will eventually make you lose your human emotions.
It's a silent pass, and when you wake up, you're already regretting it.
So, I let you feel all this in advance, and also gave you a chance to get it back.
But fate is never absolute.
Whether you want to regain your feelings depends on your own choice.
This is an exam I have arranged for you. ”
"I didn't expect to be able to escape the exam when I came here." Char complained.
"In the woman who is about to come to this castle, I will merge another destiny for her.
She will come to you because she was cursed by the shrine maiden, and the kingdom where she used to stay will also cause a huge war in advance because of her disappearance.
This war will spread to the world, it will last for a long time, and many people will die because of it. ”
"Because of the disappearance of a man, a world war?" Char's expression was a little subtle.
"There are examples of that, aren't they?" The old man said, "For example, Helen in the Trojan War, the most beautiful woman in mankind, and the princess of Sparta."
Because of the power of Eros, he fell in love with Paris the prince of Troy and eloped with him.
This led to the launch of a thousand ships, the beginning of the decade-long Trojan War, and the destruction of Troy. ”
"So you're taking the route of the red face and the water?" Char muttered softly.
After a pause, Char raised his head and said, "You want me to stop this war?" ”
"It's up to you to decide whether to stop it or not." The old man said, "Every choice you make will lead the fate of mankind to an unknowable future. ”
Char raised her eyebrows.
"I have another problem, in the plot, the Witch of the Wilderness was finally solved by Howl's teacher, Sally Man.
Have you embodied this man? ”
"I can do this." "But that would consume more of the power of fate, and I don't think it's necessary."
As I said, although fate has a definite part, there are also variables, and in reality, the plot will not run perfectly according to the setting. ”
"So the witch wants me to take care of it myself?" Char Road.
"Perhaps, there will be other variables." The old man muttered softly.
"So.... Good luck. ”
The old man of fate slowly raised his head and looked at the ceiling in a daze, as if he was looking at his past life.
"It's really.... It's been a long journey....."
Then, under Char's gaze, the old man gradually turned into countless golden lights and gradually dissipated in front of Char.
He watched all this a little wordlessly, he didn't know whether the old man had left, or, as he said, completely disappeared from this world.
But what he knows is that he may not see him again in the future...
