The 381st round
Fett suddenly found himself able to mark the seemingly remote, uninhabited places on the map and explore one by one, and there would always be a place where the village would be located.
"It would be foolish to put my hopes in someone else, and I still have to rely on my own wisdom to find that village. Mistress Michelle has given me a hint of the word 'remote' and has greatly narrowed down the scope of my search. If I can't put this information to good use, what's the difference between me and those fools. ”
So Fett took out the whole map of Beiju Luzhou, which she had previously purchased at a grocery store, from the storage space.
The map was made of cowhide, and it was very hard and weighty to hold.
Fett slowly unfolded the map on the table and took out a pen, ready to mark on the map.
"The content on this map is very detailed, and with the help of this map, it shouldn't be as difficult to find that hidden village as Michelle said. ”
So Fit began to look at the map in detail, and from time to time he marked it with a pen.
After an hour, she had finally marked all the strange, remote, or deserted places she had discovered.
But at this time, Fett looked at the map that she had drawn densely, and couldn't help but gasp.
"How can there be so many? That's an exaggeration. ”
If it's limited to the realm of the Imperial Spirit Country, there won't be too many places like this.
But Fett doesn't think the answer will be that simple.
When Fit expanded the scope of his search to cover the entire Beiju Luzhou, the number of such "remote" areas was jaw-dropping.
In just one hour, Fett made more than 12,000 markings on the map.
"How long will this be found?"
Looking at these dense markers, the joy that Fitt had just mentioned became depressed again.
"It seems that there is no other way, so I have to bite the bullet and find them one by one. Hopefully my luck isn't so bad and it won't take too long. ”
Unbeknownst to Fit, he had fallen into a common trap at this point.
It's a subtle thought, but it often leads people in the wrong direction.
"Since it's in a remote location, it's very likely that it's not within the scope of the Spirit Kingdom at all. I'll go to the border of Beiju Luzhou first, and maybe I'll be able to locate the village soon. ”
Fett comforted himself.
She decided to trust her instincts, but she had fallen into a big mistake.
In fact, the words "remote" and "distant" are not related to each other in such a situation, they represent completely different meanings, and they cannot be combined at all.
"Remote" simply refers to sparsely populated and inaccessible places, such places are everywhere, and the territory of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom is not uncommon, not specifically those areas on the edge of the continent.
At this point, Fit was already in a strange circle, absolutely unaware for a moment, and would not realize that he had made a wrong judgment.
And fate is so magical, it seems that from the beginning it was guessed that she would make such a choice, not only wasting time, but also gaining nothing.
If it weren't for that, how could more than twenty years slip through Fit's fingertips so easily.
In the past eighteen years, Fett has searched every remote place outside the realm of the Imperial Spirit Country, but he has not found the slightest clue about that small village.
She has climbed countless snow-capped mountains, stepped on countless snowfields, and experienced all kinds of dangers, but in the end she has gained nothing.
This couldn't help but completely cool her originally enthusiastic heart, she couldn't see hope, and all that surrounded her heart was endless disappointment. She couldn't see where the road ahead was, the future seemed to have become hazy, she didn't know success or failure, she didn't know the good or bad, everything was so unpredictable.
Fett once tried to predict his future with prophecy, only to find that he could see nothing.
There seems to be a force in the darkness that shields the power of prophecy, blocking her vision of "observing" the future, leaving her with no way to control her own destiny.
"It turns out that prophecy has no way to predict one's future, just like those Langzhong, they can save people, but it is often difficult to save themselves. ”
Fit, who suddenly realized, became even more hesitant and helpless.
"It's been eighteen years since I left Twilight, but I still don't know where the village is. The girl said she would be born in 12 years, so she would be six years old by now. I have only about seven years left at most, and if I don't find the village within the deadline, I will pay a heavy price. ”
Thinking of this, Fett quickly cheered up, she knew that she couldn't be so decadent anymore.
"Time is running out, and I have to be more diligent than ever. I carry the rise and fall of the entire Spirit Race on my shoulders, and this mission must not be allowed to fail. Within seven years, I had to successfully locate the village. ”
Fett took out the map again, looked at it carefully, and bowed slightly.
"I've already visited all of the marked places outside of the Spirit Kingdom, so I've narrowed it down considerably. Although I must admit that I took a detour from the beginning, these 18 years are not a waste, at least I have delineated a relatively 'narrow' area, and the rest of the exploration will be much easier. ”
So Fett returned to the Kingdom of Imperial Spirits and began a new round of searching.
Six years and eight months later, Fett found the village in the "Fantasy Land" in a desolate place not far from the capital of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom, Twilight Snow City.
At that moment, Fett was so happy that she almost jumped, and the moment she found the grove in the north of the village, she couldn't control the joy in her heart and shouted loudly.
"I've finally found this place!"
Fett subconsciously took out the map again and confirmed the specific location here.
Then she smiled wryly and said to herself, "I didn't expect this to be the closest place to Dusk City, but I haven't noticed it, it's ironic." After going around in such a big circle, and finally returning to his hometown, is this also a kind of fate?"
Fett put away the map, and suddenly heard a frolicking sound in his ears.
She looked far away in the direction of the village, only to see a group of children running in the direction of the woods.
Seeing this scene, Fett's heart was shocked, and he thought, "It seems that the wheel of fortune has begun to turn quietly, and I will be able to see the future star of the spirit race next." ”
It was inconvenient for Fett to let the children see her directly, so she hid behind a tree and silently observed the group of children, looking for the familiar and unfamiliar figure.
She noticed that there was one child in the group who was different. All the other children were running forward, sweating their youth. Only a 12- or 13-year-old girl trotted steadily at the end of the queue, moving forward at a constant pace, not fast but not slow, always maintaining her own rhythm, unaffected by her peers.
Just this action made Fitt appreciate it very much, and praised it in his heart: "At a young age, but not following the crowd, understanding the laws of life, is really amazing." ”
And the little girl's face was naturally exactly the same as the person who had been appearing in her meditation realm more than twenty years ago, without the slightest difference, and it was recognizable at a glance.
For Fett, the first stage of the mission has been successfully completed, and she has successfully found her future apprentice, the "big man" who is crucial to the Imperial Spirit Kingdom.
"The next thing is to find an opportunity to meet her, and then use spells to arouse her curiosity and make her worship me as a teacher. This kind of thing is not difficult for me. Even though she is different, she is still a child, and she can't get rid of the nature of a child. As long as she became interested in the spells I cast, and thought that I was the legendary hidden immortal, then it would be okay for her to worship me as a teacher. If I couldn't even gain the trust of a little girl, then all these years of practice would be in vain. ”
Fett decided to stay put for the time being, silently waiting for the time to meet the girl.
