Winter is coming in the royal capital of Saint-Rondel.

Winter in the western part of the continent tends to come slowly and gently, and even the arrival of snowflakes is as refreshing as the first rays of sunlight shining on the windowsill in the morning.

Alexandra, the creator god, seems to have a special affection for Violet, the western nation of the water element. God has written the empire into an aesthetic love poem, or a fascinating fairy tale, and even walking in an unknown alley, you can feel a special taste and charm.

The teenager wakes up. But the warm winter sun didn't seem to bring him a good mood, and his heart was gloomy.

"Master Melting, Master Melting!" the boy shouted.

"What's wrong?" the deep male voice replied with some disdain, and the man named Rong Mei looked away from the page, and asked instead, "What did you do stupidly again?" ”

The young man said aggrievedly: "What else can it be, seeing that the army of the Gree Empire is about to hit the capital, our dog king is good, every day he asks me to run the palace for divination and calculation, not that I fool him, how can I be virtuous in the night......? It's been eight lifetimes of mold!"

Whenever Rin Ye was in a bad mood, she would lean back on Rong Mei in anger and bury her face deep in her master's dark silver hair. His master is very special, not only the hair color is different from ordinary people, but even the iris is dark gray. Although his appearance is one of the most handsome and delicate on the Phantom Capital Continent, he has a cold and arrogant temperament, and he doesn't like to talk too much with people, which is only intimidating.

I only heard the Melt Charm say coldly: "He didn't count in his heart, didn't you count in your heart?"

In the past, Rin Ye had been dancing happily for a long time, planning where to go to see the beautiful girl on the weekend, but now he only felt a sense of loss, and he squeezed in his chest sullenly: "Master, you give me an idea, you are the patriarch of the astrology clan, help me think about it, is there any way to fool the palace over, okay Master!"

"Ordered the astrological messenger to go and report the illness and buy you gooseberry gooseberry and maple cake for the teacher. ”

Rin Ye said in frustration: "You still said that this is the reason used last time!Master, how can I be in the mood to eat waffles now...... If you don't become an 'Emperor Star Master' now, is it too late?"

"What do you think?"

Looking at the snowy street scene outside the window, the heart of the cold night gradually became cold.

"That's it. I'm going out for a trip. How to take leave, you think. Stay here, it's cold outside. Melt closed the scroll in her hand and got up to leave.

"Master, where are you going on this snowy day?"

The wind blew away the tail notes of the rising night, and his master was always like this, saying that he would go, and never reveal half a word about his itinerary.

_

Rongmei traveled all the way east and left the royal capital.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the chaotic storm blew a ghostly howl between the empty sky and earth outside the city. Luckily, the trip was short, and the destination was just outside of San Ranger.

The snow covered his vision with a blank white, and the bitter wind blew his silver-white robes to the sound of hunting.

It was a very inconspicuous little bungalow, somewhat like a hunter's hunting hut in the mountains, and a layer of fresh snow had accumulated on the roof. Melt knocked on the door and quickly entered the house.

"You're here. ”

Inside the room was an old man with a childish face, raising his head and looking at the young man who entered the room with a smile.

"Grandpa Quinn, how are you doing?" At this time, Mellow's eyebrows and eyes were full of crystal snow, shining like diamonds, but he didn't look embarrassed, but made his eyebrows and eyes more gentle and handsome.

"Good, very good. It's very pleasant to do a little handicraft every day. Old man Quinn walked up to his tool table, on which were placed all kinds of strange tools, and the shelves were full of dazzling, all kinds of gems and indescribable material blocks, "Melt Charm, the staff that grandfather made for you last time, you can use it easily, huh?"

Melt said respectfully: "Of course." When it comes to craftsmanship, you are one of the few in the continent. ”

"Come less. I don't believe you, stinky boy. Quinn leaned on his staff, pretending to be annoyed and glancing at Melberry, "Since I was a child, I know what you want to do when you puff your tail, and if you come to me for no reason, what trouble will you encounter?"

Rongmei rarely squeezed out an embarrassed smile, and her ice-like face was warm, with a little more childlike stubbornness: "Grandfather, you are an astrological elder, and I can't hide anything from you." Recently, I have indeed asked for your help. ”

Quinn also rarely saw Rong Mei so coquettish and naughty, and said with a smile: "Stop, Rong Mei Patriarch, you are now the leader of the astrology clan, to say yes, you are old, what can I do for you?"

Rong Mei got straight to the point and said, "I need a young man, his name is Bai Lianzhou, and he is from the Virginia Empire. ”

Quinn asked, "Bai Lianzhou...... It sounds like a strange name, not like someone from the Virginia Empire. What are you going to do?"

"I can't say that. ”

"Can't you say, then don't help. Quinn waved his hand.

Rong Mei hesitated for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, that young man named Bai Lianzhou knows my secret. ”

The stove smelled of warm silver frost charcoal, and Quinn's smile was serene and calm. He looked at Rong Mei for a long time, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed: "What should come will always come." Mellow, for more than twenty years, I have been teaching you, do you remember?"

"Of course, my grandfather taught me that the freedom I follow in this life is temperance and self-denial, not indulgence. ”

"Then you tell me about the white boat. ”

The dissolving eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of black, condensed under his eyes, and gradually transformed into an inky mist, and countless tiny bright spots danced in his eye sockets, forming patches of treacherous nebulae. The stars are constantly connected to each other in a line, and the stars change back and forth, like a fascination of the Milky Way.

Knowing that he was using astrology for divination, Quinn lowered his hands and waited silently.

The nebula retreated, and Rong Mei slowly spoke: "Bai Lianzhou is now in the advance force sent by the Virginia Empire, but his spiritual power is average, and he can only be regarded as a medium astrologer at most, replacing the astrological spirit envoy of the Wind Empire to participate in the battle. ”

"Medium astrologer, you're far behind......" Quinn frowned, a little puzzled.

"I'm also very strange, obviously his spiritual power is far below me, and it should be completely blocked by my 'spiritual energy', why did he suddenly see my location......"

"The world is unpredictable, dissolved. You are too young to see the world as it should be. Quinn put his arm on Rong Mei's hand, and suddenly said to himself: "You kid, why have you grown so tall? I have the impression that you are just so small, like a cat, and now you are one meter nine tall, and the old man wants to look at you, and the back of his neck hurts." ”

"Grandfather, what should I do now?" Meltlust crouched down and looked up at Quinn's aged face.

"Are you going to ask me to kill him?"

"Of course not. ”

"Are you here to ask me to stop him from finding you?"

"Like...... Neither is it. ”

Quinn sighed and said, "Are you here to ask for my opinion and allow you to use that psionic ability?"

Melt didn't answer, his face fading in the flickering red light.

Quinn touched Mellow's head and muttered, "Child, grandfather is already old, and his judgment of today's things is not necessarily right. This is your life, this is your world, and you have to make your own decisions about a lot of things......"

Rong Mei's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her originally calm eyes were full of uneasiness and anxiety: "But you are the best astrologer in the entire Violet Empire, and what you see must be more than what is expressed in the astrological signs......"

"But even if it's a grandfather, you can't see more than you, Rongmei. Quinn looked up at the somewhat old utensils on the table, "Grandfather, even if he devotes his whole life, is not as meaningful as the short twenty years of your life." Astrologer...... It's hard to do, grandfather didn't do it well enough, but you can do it well. ”

"What's the use of seeing more, the more people tend to see, the easier it is to lose themselves. Rong Mei was flustered, and opened her mouth in panic and said: "Grandfather, if I kill Bai Lianzhou, the whole world will change because of my action, and if I don't kill him, then I, my father-in-law, and even the entire Violet Empire, as well as Xiao Yu...... will fall into a catastrophe from which they will never recover......"

"What a problem...... Quinn frowned, a sad expression on his face, "Melt, grandfather's greatest wish is that you can live your life carefree and happy...... But this wish may not be realized in a lifetime. It's a pity that my grandfather is also an ordinary astrologer on this continent, and it is not worth mentioning compared to someone like you who controls the world. I'm a mere mortal, and I can't give you advice, so please go back. ”

Rong Mei stood up and hugged the old man Quinn and said to him, "Grandfather...... I decided, I want Bai Lianzhou to live. He is innocent, and if I can let him live by my side and be my messenger, I ...... I hope you will help me to bring him to San Rondel. ”

"Naturally, someone is going to pick him up, it doesn't have to be me. ”

Melty felt a hot sensation in her chest, and Quinn's tears soaked her clothes.

The old man wiped his tears and said, "Child, no matter where you are, the world will always be a world of the jungle, and whoever has strong spiritual power and higher wisdom will dominate everything." Don't think that there is only one unknown danger, Bai Lianzhou, all the people in this world may become your opponents. Your decision will turn the mainland upside down...... Today's threat may be Bai Lianzhou, and tomorrow it may be Xiao Yu, the head of a clan, an entire empire, or even the whole world. Your Lord, your Majesty says this, do you understand?"

"You...... What did you just call me?" asked Melty with a shudder.

"Lord, God of our generations. ”
