Chapter 23: A Collection of Possibilities
Wang: "Are you sure?" ”
Nini nodded, "Sure." I've only walked this route once, but I've memorized the whole journey. ”
Nini's skills as a ranger can be trusted.
Wang: "Since we're on the way, let's go and see what's wrong with the horse gang." ”
Elizabeth: "I feel like it has something to do with salvation. ”
Xiaobai: "Do you need to talk about it?" It must have something to do with it. Either they were killed by the desecrated, or someone was affected by Ragnora's energy halfway through. ”
Wang looked at the map intently, and he pointed to the sign on the map and asked, "What is this?" A village in the woods? Are there still villages in the world's mountains? ”
"Yes." The old monk nodded, "Originally, there were many hunters in the mountains of the world, and they formed many settlements on the mountains. The reason why there are caravans walking such a steep mountain road is also because of the existence of these hunters. They brought with them the products of life such as iron tools, and took away the furs from the hands of the hunters. ”
Wang nodded: "I see, you can go to these villages to inquire about the movements of the caravan." ”
Gaines plucked the lute: "When the Leap Route opens, these villages will no longer have to rely on the horse gang, they can sell their furs to the airships." If the amount of fur is particularly large, we can even consider setting up a airship supply station here to provide supplies and repairs to the airship, and to trade fur by the way. ”
Xiaobai: "The premise is that the world is not destroyed." ”
Gaines smiled: "How can Miss Werewolf be so unconfident, judging from the information provided by His Excellency the Captain, Ragnora will be sent back to the Star Plane by adventurers every time he returns, and it has been defeated more than once, and it will definitely lose this time." ”
Xiaobai spread his hands: "I'm just joking, in fact, no one is more confident than us to stop Ragnora, after all, our leader is the darling of fate." ”
Elizabeth looked at Xiaobai in surprise: "I thought you were going to start claiming his big list of titles." ”
Xiaobai: "The main thing is that I didn't pay attention to those long titles, what are the balabala." ”
The old monk stared at the king's face and said, "This benefactor is very peculiar, and I can't even see through his future." His future is tangled and messed up. With the old and shallow knowledge, it is impossible to know what will happen to the benefactor in the future. ”
Wang: "Can you see through the timeline too?" Like a traveling mage? ”
"No, we don't have that extraordinary ability, we can only get a glimpse of some clues, some vague hints. But you're different, and we can't peep into your future at all. ”
Wang: "That's ......"
Elizabeth asked worriedly, "Does this mean that there will be a catastrophe in the future?" ”
"I don't know." The old monk shook his head.
Elizabeth looked at the king with a worried expression.
Wang patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry. ”
Xiaobai: "Yes, even if this mission fails, he won't die, it's just us." ”
Wang: "If things do turn out like that, I will definitely come back in the future to stop this, so don't worry. ”
Flint: "Wait a minute! I'm a little confused, you said that the future will definitely come back to stop this? ”
Wang: "Yes, I will definitely become a traveling mage in the future, I have no doubts about it. In other words, when we are about to play off, I will definitely not sit idly by in the future. ”
The dwarf exclaimed, "Kaylin's navel eye! Can it still be like this? Isn't that cheating? ”
Xiaobai asked suspiciously: "In that case, why hasn't you appeared in the future yet?" It would be nice if you just came over and joined us. ”
Wang shrugged: "Maybe we finally solved the crisis smoothly, so I don't need to take action in the future." ”
Xiaobai: "...... Is there a possibility that you will not become a traveling mage at all in the future, so you will not be able to come back. ”
Wang looked at the ceiling: "There is also such a possibility." ”
The old monk laughed twice and said, "Don't worry too much, the future is called the future only when there is uncertainty." If fate had already been decided, it would be boring, wouldn't it?
"It's like a play, if you've already read the script, no matter how good the performance is, it's always going to be less flavorful. The stage of unpredictable fate can make people have endless memories. ”
Elizabeth: "But life is not a drama, and the stage of unpredictable fate you are talking about may cause many innocent people to die." ”
The old monk looked out the window: "There are innocent people dying every moment in this world. It could be in the drow drow's dungeons, or it could be in the midst of a small-scale plague somewhere.
"As long as the world is still full of flaws, it can't be avoided. You will certainly not be able to save everyone in the future, but it is not your fault, even God is beyond the reach of power, let alone mortals.
"Do what you can and face it."
Wang nodded: "Thank you for your teachings." ”
The old monk said again: "By the way, you have come from afar today, you should be hungry, right?" Although the monastery has not been supplied by the horse gang for a long time, it can still get a little coarse tea and light rice. ”
Xiaobai was overjoyed: "Eat!" ”
Flint: "Don't be happy so early, it's probably because you can't eat it." ”
Old monk: "There is indeed no meat in this hospital, but I am afraid that I will not be able to satisfy the appetite of this benefactor." ”
Xiaobai's interest was immediately discharged.
Old monk: "But there are still some prey to hunt in the nearby mountains, and the donor can solve the problem on his own." ”
Elizabeth was stunned: "There really are animals living in a snowy world." ”
Xiaobai: "Then I'll solve it myself." ”
She turned and ran out of the room.
At this time, Liguang, who had been sitting in front of the old monk, said, "Master, I came back this time to report my feelings to you......
The old monk waved his hand: "Wait a minute, wait for the scholar to come and record it." The perception of every person who has reached the stage of transcendent initiation is a gift to posterity, which needs to be recorded and compiled. ”
Liguang was shocked: "Even if I'm just a short-lived species?" ”
Old monk: "When I recruited you into the monastery, I said that your background doesn't matter. Even if you are short-lived, even if you only have less lifespan left than me, you can practice. ”
Wang: "But when you first saw Liguang, you were surprised and said, 'You have actually achieved positive results.'" ”
The old monk smiled bitterly: "I really didn't foresee this situation. Before he left the monastery, I could only see regrettable signs when I peeked into his future.
"So you see, even if you have seen the omen, the future can change. It may be a given fact for the traveling mages who are out of the timeline, but for us mortals, the future is a collection of possibilities. ”
