Section 3: Omens

"They asked about some of the more complicated things, about the future of the Bin...... And their own fate. ”

"I can tell you something...... What is the result of the divination?" continued Ashrufat.

"The Hama will be defeated in the war, exterminated or enslaved......" Leia wiped her face clean with her hands. "And they're all going to die...... I just pointed out the trajectory of fate, but they could not accept it. ”

Sure enough, it was an unacceptable fate. But this is not a reason to be rude, not to accept harsh advice, that is a fool.

"Is fate changeable?" asked Ashrufat.

"Some can, some don't. If it is a single thread of fate, then there is a greater chance of change. But when multiple threads of fate are entangled in a node, it is difficult to change. ”

Ashrufat actually wanted to ask if the fate of the Binzu could not be changed, but after all, he was an outsider who had nothing to do with this matter, and it was obviously not appropriate to ask any further questions.

"Guest, this is your first time doing divination. Leia asked.

"That's right, it's my first time. Ashrufat replied. In fact, when he said this, he felt a strange feeling. Probably because Leia's eyes were red, and she looked like a little girl who had just cried, but she spoke in such an old-fashioned tone. From what the fat merchant had learned from before, Rhea should have been doing this work here for a while.

"For first-time guests, I have a discount. You can ask me a question and I'll answer it for free. This question can involve your personal past, present, and even future. Many people questioned my divination, so I used this method to dispel the suspicions of my guests. By the way, what is your name?"

"My name is Ashrufat, free questions...... I've got a problem, I want to know where I was born?"

Leia's hand fumbled for a card, and when it turned over, Ashrufat saw that the card was blank.

"You were born in ......" Leia was obviously blind, but at the moment she showed an expression of reading something. “...... It's strange that you weren't born, or that you didn't have a history of growing up at all? But it can't be...... Wrong...... There is a powerful force that twists your destiny...... A dark wall cuts off your past, and the thread of fate is cut...... No way...... It's too powerful...... I can't get past that barrier!"

The girl's delicate sculptural palm spasmed and dropped the blank card.

"I'm sorry, guest, I might be too tired......" Leia calmed down after a few seconds.

"It's okay, it's my fault. Ashrufat replied. "I had amnesia, so I forgot everything about the past. It may be because of this that you can't do divination properly. ”

That being said, Ashrufat was actually secretly surprised in his heart. This divination seems to be really powerful.

"Leia, can I ask you what you use blank cards for?"

"It's just a tool. The girl replied. "How much strength do I have...... It seems to be a special talent. My eyes see nothing but a blurry image, but they can read the thread of people's destinies. But I don't know why I have this kind of power for my eyes, maybe it's the gods' compensation for my eyes. By the way, guest, what other questions would you like to ask? A 'yes' question costs two silver coins. Double the number of questions to be answered in detail, and double down if you're going to have a holistic understanding of the future. I must make one thing clear, the future is extremely difficult to speculate, in other words, the farther the future becomes, the more vague it is, but in a short period of time, the thread of fate is easy to discern. ”

"I want to know the way...... Well, I'm going to meet someone on this trip, will it go well? I don't want a 'no' answer, I'm going to be more detailed. ”

"Who are you going to meet......" The girl looked into the mirror. "I'm afraid you won't be able to see it. Ahead of you, many forces are intertwined into indescribable obstacles. You have obstacles to overcome...... You can overcome those obstacles, but the people you want to meet can't...... It can also be understood that your worst outcome is not what you originally expected. That's the answer to my divination. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, the girl's expression looks uneasy.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"I want to know what my future holds. Ashrufat took out the silver coin from his body and said. "It's better to be able to describe it roughly. ”

"Your future ......" Lhea touched a card again, and Ashrufat noticed that her body seemed to be trembling. "I saw a battlefield of thousands of troops...... I saw neat battle formations, all kinds of monsters, and steel and flesh...... I saw countless amounts of blood dripping down the blade...... You're going to have to go through a lot of battles. Her hands trembled as she dropped the card and picked up a new one. "I see dark castles, cruel slavery and the blades of death...... I see the fear in people's hearts...... You will become a conqueror and ruler. She dropped the card again, this time her hands were shaking so hard that it took her half a day to pick up the third card. “...... I see a god screaming and falling under your sword...... You're going to kill the gods!" she dropped the card.

"No, I can't look any further!" Leia suddenly screamed, and she reached out to grab Eshurufat's hand, but the moment she made contact, she retracted violently as if she had been burned with a soldering iron. She bent down and lay on the table, not speaking for a long time. It took a long time for her to sit back on her feet.

"Sorry guest. It looked like I was really tired and said something inexplicable. The girl said with a smile. "Please don't take it personally. Come back tomorrow. I can't take your money this time. ”

With that, she stood up and groped her way to the inner room. Ashrufat was left alone in his room and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

"It seems that the soothsayer did not tell all the things he saw. In her mind, Carrie said. "She's hiding something, master, she's not ...... See through who you really are?"

"I don't know what to say, but I don't feel hostile. "The girl's reaction just now should be called panic, which is more appropriate.

Ashrufat looked at the humble room and suddenly realized a sense of disobedience. No matter how you look at it, Leia can have an income of two or three gold coins a day, such a high income, this house is really simple......

"Master, I think you'd better leave. Carrie interrupted his train of thought. "Do you remember the stain on the wooden wall when you entered the village? If I'm not mistaken, it's blood. ”

Ashruphat didn't notice the stain, but the fact that such a wooden wall and such a sentinel was built to the extent of a village said something in itself. And he doesn't seem to have the need to stay here now.

Ashrufat got up and walked out of the doorway. At this time, it is not particularly late, for ordinary people, although it is not time to eat dinner at this time, it is already time to make dinner. You can see some farmers coming back from the main entrance of the village.

He untied the Nightmare Pony from the bolt at the tavern door, and saddled himself for leaving. While he was doing this, the fat merchant happened to come out of the tavern. The two exchanged a few more pleasantries.

"I've seen Leia the soothsayer, and I'm a little wondering, why aren't her parents there, and who is that old woman?" asked Ashrufat casually.

"It seems to be her grandmother, or aunt or something, in short, an elder. The fat merchant replied. "Miss LÊa's parents seem to have died...... Looks like you're leaving, don't you stay here for the night?"

"No, I'm in a hurry, and I have to hurry. If you have the chance, the next time we meet, I invite you to have a drink. ”

Ashrufat took his leave, and as he rode out of the village entrance, several militiamen were entering Leia's house. The one who took the lead was a man in his thirties who looked very strong, and in fact he was the head of the village. It is not appropriate to describe him in the general sense of "village chief", because he is actually more than just a village chief. This village is a relatively independent Binzu tribe, and he is the ruler of the tribe.

"LÊa. The village chief shouted. To be honest, his attitude is quite gentle, just like the attitude of people when faced with the goose that lays golden eggs. "How's it going today?"

"I'm sorry, village chief, but I've been introducing you to those ...... today."

"What, those boys...... You've wasted the whole day?" muttered the village chief dissatisfied. For a whole day, at least four gold coins had been credited to the account, but now it was wasted for a favor that didn't know if there was any value in the Dao. What a big mistake.

"I've blasted those boys away who don't know how thick the sky is. "I'll try to be careful not to let such a creature come to you!" I remember you said that the enemy might attack tonight...... Help me figure out what will happen tonight. ”

"Village Chief, the thread of fate has been distorted by a brutal change...... This is contrary to the original intent of divination. LÊa replied.

The village chief's face immediately became ugly, "This kind of thing is not something you need to think about! Just do what I say! Who do you think took you in, and who gave you food and clothing, and raised you here!"

After a pause, he felt that what he had just said might have gone too far, so he lowered his voice a little more. "Leia, for us, divination is meant to change the fate of an otherwise bad one. You're doing a good job, because we're in a good place right now. One message you gave me could save many, many people in our village, and I hope you understand this duty. If the current disaster cannot be avoided, then what is the use of a beautiful future?"

The girl cringed a little, but she still spoke up after the end. “...... Village Chief, I can see the threads of fate intertwined in you...... Based on this, I speculate that they will attack at midnight,"

"Sure enough, I know that Ryan's cubs will come up with this kind of poisonous trick! It doesn't matter, knowing their tactics, then there is a way to deal with them. The village chief turned and left.

"Are you hungry, Leia?" After some time, the old woman entered the room, only to see the girl lying on the bed.

"What's the matter, LÊa, are you too tired today, or are you in a bad mood by those bad guys?"

"No," Leia shook her head, "I'm not tired today, and I don't care about those ...... Guest. They don't have much time to live. It's stupid to be angry with someone who is about to die. ”

"Then what's wrong with you? Is it for the sake of the village?" said the old woman, sitting on the edge of the bed, and gently stroked the girl's hair. "Sure enough, you've inherited my bloodline...... In fact, the thread of fate is not terrible, what is terrible is the short-sightedness and foolishness of human beings. ”
