Blue Sword

"We don't want to play any games." Mi'er refused bluntly.

"Ha." The man in black robe chuckled.

Mi'er suddenly realized that she and Mia were still lying in the game cabin. She said she didn't want to play games or anything, so she couldn't be too fake, so she quickly made up for it and said:

"...Especially with someone of unknown origin like you."

"So be it." The man in black robe said with a low smile, "I can understand your caution, so let's add a reward."

"As long as you clear my game, you can get rewards, how about it?"

"What reward?" Mia asked.

"Haha, Mia, you are still Level 9, right?" The man in black robe looked up at her, but Mia could only see darkness from under his hood, "There is still one last bottle of 'Shadow IV' left. ?Asker has collected the main materials for you, but you still lack the formula and auxiliary materials, right?"

"How did you know?" Mia asked.

Without answering her question, the man in black robe continued: "I can give you the formula and auxiliary materials so that you can smoothly advance to Lv. 10 and condense the bloodline of the shadow dancer. How about it?"

Mia didn't speak, thought for a while, and then asked:

"What about Mi'er's reward?"

The man in black robe chuckled and said: "As for Mi'er, you have been promoted to Level 10, and you are still looking for the law suitable for cohesion, right?"

"Almost." Mi'er said vaguely.

"No." The man in black robe said leisurely, "You should have sensed the law ritual mission. Let me guess... it's 'destiny', right?"

Mi'er's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was secretly filled with turmoil! How did he know? This matter... I haven't told anyone! Even Aske doesn’t know!

"You want to know why I know?" the man in black robe said calmly, "because the ritual mission requires you to pursue the 'opportunity to change your destiny'..."

"...right here with me."

Mier:! ! !

"What is destiny? It is a collection of divergent world lines. At every 'now' point in time, countless possibilities will radiate forward." The man in black robe said slowly, "The beautiful 'future', It seems that everything is possible, but in fact it will be constrained by the 'now', that is, the constraint of the world line."

"For most people, the future is actually doomed. Just like the migratory salmon schools in the Atlantic Ocean. Although where they swim is controlled by their will, the vast majority of salmon will only instinctively follow the fish school. Migrating along fixed routes periodically every year, from birth, reproduction, until death.”

"Only a few salmon, in their unchanging fate, may be suddenly disturbed by external disturbances. For example, sudden ocean currents, occasional diseases, or the unexpected intrusion of a catfish, forcing them to leave their original fish school. This change may be fortunate or unfortunate..."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Mia interrupted him.

"Oh, but Mi'er can understand it, am I right?" The tone of the man in black robe seemed to be very interesting, as if he was carving a piece of perfect jade, "The moment you condensed your blood, what you saw You should have already understood the short scene, right?"

He suddenly opened his hands and said loudly: "We, the vast majority of people in this world."

"Just a salmon in the torrent of fate."

"According to the original trajectory, there will be no Blue Sword Mercenary Group in the world. At this point in time, according to the constrained world line, Mia, you should stay in the cold and wet rat tunnel under Oreshye, the Principality of Kiev. , staying with Mastro’s thieves’ guild, struggling to make a living every day for tomorrow’s rations.”

"In the future, Mastro will hand over the shadow mentor of the Thieves Guild to you, and you will become the uncrowned king of the underground city of Oreshye - but it is just a remote city in a remote principality."

"As for Mi'er, you should be dead at this point in time. The 'superego' of the deceased was fished out from the underworld by the Seljuk necromancers, bound to the embalmed corpse, and worked tirelessly to kill for him as a banshee. .”

"In the future, when you arrived in Cairo, you finally broke free from his shackles, killed your master with a backhand, and then wandered along the north coast of the southern continent, from Cairo to Tunisia, and finally became a member of the Hafs Dynasty. You became the Banshee Lord, and then rebelled... until the eternal kingdom of darkness was established in Mauritania, and all the undead praised your name as the immortal Banshee King, Minerva."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Mia was completely confused. What happened to The Uncrowned King? What do you mean Mi'er would have died? What is the Banshee King Minerva?

"That's right." Mi'er suddenly said, "But that's just the original trajectory of fate. Just like the catfish you said, Ask accidentally broke into my world and saved me from my original tragic fate. Saved.”

“So he was my lifesaver and I couldn’t be more grateful to him.”

"Is it just gratitude?" The man in black robe laughed teasingly.

Mia:! ! !

What's the meaning! She looked at Mi'er's delicate face in profile, could it be that you...

"All in all, although it is much better than the original world line, you will definitely not be willing to stop here." The man in black robe said with a smile, "If you clear this puzzle game of mine, I can put that' How about giving this opportunity to change your destiny to you as a reward?"

"Wait!" Mia suddenly said, "You can help Mi'er master the rules, but the reward you give me is just a bottle of magic potion. Isn't this too stingy? I won't do it!"

Man in black robe:………………

He had already prepared the response of the other party agreeing or rejecting, but he did not expect that the other party would find the reward too small. This kind of sense of deja vu, where every penny is worth every penny and every opportunity is exploited...

how to say? Shouldn't it be said that it was brought out by that man himself, and it has been tainted with the aura of an extremely utilitarian mercenary?

(Actually, it’s the player’s habit of “doing nothing early without profit”)

"That's right." The man in black robe said with a smile, "How about adding another reward to you, little Mia?"

"For example, the legendary swordsmanship in the lake was taught to Lancelot by the fairy in the lake?"

The elevator door opens.

Returning to the 36th floor, Aske lay down on the rocking chair again.

I didn’t expect that Nora’s sister, Capasilin, would have such a troublesome and strong personality. She would do whatever it takes to get the results she wants for her sister...

Just say that you are a super girl-controller and don't want to see your sister suffer a little injustice.

Nora and the others were probably still shopping outside, while Mia and Mier were playing holographic games in the game cabin. For Asker, he definitely doesn't want to go shopping at all, and he has no intention of playing games. Staying in this world is not much different from playing "Song of Iron and Fire".

So, nothing to do?

It's better to take a nap then, just in time to be lazy.

He took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass. Asik lay comfortably on the rocking chair again and drank the wine slowly.

Then he slowly fell asleep again in a state of slight tipsiness and long-lasting drunkenness.
