Chapter 7 Child of Destiny?

Matthew was slightly startled when he heard the news, and information about Bay Village and various dangerous creatures in the nearby area immediately flashed in his mind.

"Another dragon?"

"Probably not, otherwise the whole village would have been gone long ago..."

"Is it the Nether Leopard or the Earthly Dire Bear? That's not right... Their habitat is too far away from the village, and they are extremely powerful. If they had really killed them, dozens or hundreds of people would have died, and the soldiers at the outpost would also have died. I have already gone back without any hesitation..."

"It is estimated to be a mid-level monster, and it is likely to be alone or with a cub..."

Just as Matthew was thinking, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came to his ears, but it shocked him:

"Ding, the destiny choice track has been detected. Do you want to spend 100 destiny coins to activate it?"

After looking at the only 108 destiny coins, Matthew did not hesitate and decisively chose to activate.

Trump cards are meant to be used!

"Ding, let's start the fateful decision 3, whether to lead the outpost soldiers back to Bay Village (misfortune 3), or whether to refuse the outpost soldiers to return to Bay Village (lucky 5)!"

Contrary to Matthew's expectations, he couldn't believe that the fate option he rejected actually had such a terrifying value as "Lucky 5".

With the emergence of the first two fateful choices, Matthew finally understood that bad luck or good luck did not mean absolute bad luck or good luck.

On the contrary, the higher the value, the deeper the involvement and the more dangerous it is.

The last time the value was 5, Matthew encountered an adult black dragon and a legendary time dragon.

The second time he gets lucky 2, Matthew is very likely to provoke the Red Robe Mage Guild and the huge danger hidden somewhere.

If anything had gone wrong, Matthew would have been sleeping forever in the misty swamp like those who died tragically in Sweetwater Town.

Matthew couldn't figure out the danger of "Lucky 5", so after thinking about it, he chose "Misfortune 3" very carefully.

This is the first time Matthew has chosen the doom option. Although the value is a bit high, he is still ready to give it a try.

Sure enough, after choosing Doom 3, the luck on the attribute panel became -3.

A faint sense of crisis began to linger in my heart.

Matthew calmed down, put aside distracting thoughts, and began to think carefully about practical issues.

The Scarlet Moon is coming, and on the way to the territory, you will definitely be attacked by aberrant creatures.

Although the equipment of the soldiers at the outpost is not outstanding, their overall strength is pretty good.

With their joining, the team's force value will be greatly improved.

Moreover, Matthew has more guesses about his fate.

The choice between misfortune and luck will provide him with more detailed information after the outcome of this choice.

However, Matthew still showed the reaction that a nobleman of this world should have.

There was a hint of impatience on his face, and he glanced at Captain Sean lightly, nodded casually, and waved:

"Is there also trouble in the village? I understand..."

"Take everyone and weapons and leave with us later, but you must obey orders, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, Matthew sneered, waved his hand and closed the door, assuming an out-of-sight, out-of-mind posture, which was actually to hide the shocked expression on his face:

"Shaun, race, human, age, 31 years old, identity, captain of Misty Swamp Post 16, occupation, level 4 warrior, skill,???, lucky, -3!"

"Leon, race, human, age, 17 years old, identity, soldier at Post 16 in the Misty Swamp, occupation, level 1 warrior, skills, slashing LV2, sweeping LV2, white wolf swordsmanship LV1, luck, +5!"

Matthew didn't care about Captain Sean's attributes. After all, the 30-year-old low-level warrior was not much better in terms of potential or inheritance.

Lyon is completely different!

White Wolf Swordsmanship and Luck +5 immediately highlighted his extraordinary power!
The former is an ancient and precious top-level swordsmanship in Matthew's memory.

Ten years in the future, it will be used by the demon hunters of the White Wolf group, who will become famous and brilliant for killing a large number of high-level demons. It is not like an ordinary civilian can learn it.

Luck +5 made Matthew even more frightened. He had "Yu Ze" who came into contact with the black dragon and the time dragon, and successfully signed a life contract with the little guy, so he only had the temporary buff of Luck +4.

Lyon's +5 luck value is obviously something he has!

The reason why Matthew can be so sure is because he knows Leon.He will become a legendary demon hunter in the future. During an exploration of ruins, he displayed extremely powerful combat abilities and defeated a Balrog on his own!
And this wonderful scene was filmed by players, making countless male and female players scream and even gain a group of fans.

Although Lyon at this time is not as vicissitudes as it was 20 years later, Matthew can still see an eighty-point resemblance, and he can basically be sure that it is him.

"Looking at it this way, the luck value should be related to the other party's future achievements and strength."

"Just like in many biographies of heroes, during a certain period of time, the protagonists have constant adventures, their strength improves rapidly, and they can always turn danger into disaster and turn disaster into good fortune. It must be related to their luck."

"Looking at it this way, if I had chosen to refuse just now, it would most likely have triggered the plot of Leon."

"To a certain extent, Leon should also be called the son of destiny, right?"

"It is estimated that even if I want to kill him now, it is very likely that I will not be able to succeed due to some accidents. Instead, I will provoke him and become a template for some unlucky villains..."

Savoring this familiar name, Matthew unconsciously listed it with the protagonist of a certain game called "Three Lights" in his memory, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Just in time, let me see what surprises contact with the Child of Destiny can bring me!"

The roaring flames burned the slightly damp wood, making a "sizzling" sound.

The sticky rice porridge kept popping up bubbles one after another, and the sweet smell of the food made the tired guy keep swallowing his saliva.

"The lord has issued an order. Add half a pound of dried meat to each pot, chop it finely, and cook it together."

Old John started quickly, using a sharp dagger to cut the reddish-brown dried meat into dices, and evenly sprinkled them into the pot, stirring skillfully.

Leon, who was sitting next to him, slightly shrugged the tip of his nose, his eyes full of surprise, and asked in a curious tone:
"Is your lord so generous? Can we have meat for every meal? Can we be full?"

Thick smoke with a pungent smell kept coming out from both sides of the iron pot. Everyone skillfully avoided this direction and put the prepared black bread in.

The black bread is so strong that it can knock your teeth out. Old John likes to cook it completely soft so that it can be mixed with rice porridge without being completely rotten, leaving the final chewiness and wheat flavor. After chewing carefully, you can still taste it. The slightest hint of sweetness.

Of course, we were too pressed for time today, so diced pork was added to it. Old John ate it very deliciously. In response to Leon’s question, he smiled and nodded:

"Our lord is very good. He doesn't talk much and doesn't do much. He can be regarded as the best noble master."

"Although Mr. Butler sometimes has a harsh tone, he is very capable. Almost everyone obeys his orders."

"I think your skills are pretty good. Go and have a word with the housekeeper later. You should get a new weapon. You have to protect everyone tonight."

The young and immature Leon smiled "hehe" and scratched his hair. From the corner of his eye, he always unconsciously looked to the side of the carriage. He happened to see Matthew feeding eggs to the little guy, and his eyes subconsciously widened. , asked in an unbelievable tone:

"Oh my God! Is the lord feeding a dragon?"

After tapping him lightly on the head to suppress this guy's somewhat rash remarks, Old John rolled his eyes at him angrily:
"The Lord comes from the Seer family!"

"Do you know the Great Plains of Karl? The great granary of our Netheril Empire, the Riel Family occupies nearly a quarter of the land, second only to the Karl Family!"

"Count Andre, the current head of the Seer family, is the biological father of our lord!"

"Not to mention that our lord is a knowledgeable arcanist. He will definitely develop and expand our territory in the future, and even build his own mage tower..."

"How many people are there in our Haiwan Village? What kind of livelihood are we all busy with on weekdays?"

Leon listened with some fascination. He felt that Old John was very knowledgeable and described a more exciting and broader world to him who had only been around Bay Village for dozens of miles since birth.

Faced with Old John's question, Leon was not too wary and subconsciously told him all about the situation in Bay Village.

Captain Sean on the side twitched his mouth and wanted to say something several times, but in the end he chose not to speak.

Matthew, who found this scene quite interesting, looked at the mature old John with great interest.

If nothing else goes wrong, Old John will soon be able to clear out all the Leon's ancestors from top to bottom, and then truthfully convey the information to the butler Ralph.

Matthew soon learned the news from the calm-looking old housekeeper.

"Hey, there is a saying that as long as you don't become the protagonist's enemy, everyone can generally live a good life!"

"Young man, let me teach you a lesson!"

When the butler Ralph saw the smile on the Lord's face, he remained very calm and silent, pretending that nothing happened, but kept Leon's message in his heart.

The things that the lord cares about are the biggest things!
