Dominate the Treacherous Realm

"A very special gift, all I have is one page of it. The time of its birth can no longer be judged. Its function is only to record some important matters affecting the fate of the world. Until someone finds out that a specific person holds a specific The pen, you can write words on it to change history, or even create history. Of course, this has a considerable price."

　　 While talking, he unbuttoned the pale white striped pajamas. The skin becomes transparent, and the internal organs can be vaguely seen.

　　 "Using the epic of the time comes at a price, not to mention, I am just a page here."

　　 "How many times can you use it?"

"Twice, twice at most. Mr. William, you have two chances to come back to find the source of the incident that may lead to misfortune. We can’t know whether the incident you solved is correct, so try as much as possible. Try. But since the Epic of Time has chosen you, then don’t worry, this thing must happen around you, all you need is to find it."

　　 "But why me?"

　　 He finally asked the core question, and at this moment, there was a slight crackling in the fireplace, but no one cared.

　　 "There is always someone to do something, just like I have to guide you here, and you have to solve the trouble."

　　 He snorted helplessly and turned his head slightly to look at the glass. Due to the large difference in brightness between indoor and outdoor, the glass can illuminate the faces of the two and the swaying fire, only the faint snowflakes falling from the sky, and finally disappeared.

"Go ahead, Mr. William. You can do whatever you want. Things will always happen around you. I think you have encountered some unusual things in the past two times today. The next time will be in the early hours of the 31st. You can still come to me and I will answer some of your questions. This can be regarded as my little help to you."

　　 This means to see off the guests, but Jenkins still has something to ask. Even if the middle-aged man is initially believed, after all, the paper cannot be faked, but there are still many doubts.

　　 "In other words, I need to find out the unusual things that happened on the 31st as much as possible. After the last retrospective, solve them all at once?"

　　 "Yes, and it must be solved by you."

　　 That would be bad, there is only one divine nature, but there are two things that need to be solved by force.

　　 "Will you die?"

"of course."

He said this calmly, and then pointed to himself: "The moment I made this decision, I already understood that my whole life is for this. I successfully climbed to a level that no one else can match. It is just to be able to burn more fully, leaving you more opportunities.

　　 Oh, don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I don't resent this kind of fate. As I said earlier, my life has been exciting enough and happy enough. I set myself up like fireworks in the end, which is the best ending for me. "

He smiled and shook his head again: "Look, maybe my character has become like this, and it is also the arrangement made by fate for this moment. Mr. Williams, we are all writers, and we all like to think about what the general public loves to see. All kinds of bridges. But you and I know very well that reality is not a story. If destiny really makes arrangements for a person, then this person will face the end with a smile like me, because this is also destiny. Mortals are mortal. Even me, there will be no exceptions."

　　 "But if you die like this, no one will know your contribution, and your honor will not be promoted."

　　 Jenkins pointed this out with sharp eyes.

　　 "No, you know, that's enough."

　　 Mr. Pisco's words are very meaningful.

"who am I?"

"No, no, please don't ask this question again, it will destroy the trust that we have finally built up. In the strange and magical events we have experienced, the only help I can provide is to constantly look back in time. .When we met for the last time, if I could still speak, then I will explain to you some questions that cannot be answered now, such as-what is a savior. I think you should also be looking for answers... "

　　 Jenkins nodded, got up from the chair, and Mr. Pisco also got up. Jenkins retrieved his coat and hat from the hanger at the door, and Mr. Pisco put on the coat again and sent him downstairs.

　　 Although the landlady was still complaining, she still politely asked if Jenkins needed an umbrella. He shook his head and refused, letting Chocolate stay obediently on his chest, and walked into the wind and snow with a serious expression.

　　 Mr. Pisco stood in the hall for a while, then slowly took a heavy step, and returned to his own apartment upstairs. The black-and-white kitten was lying on the chair Jenkins had just sat on, and the amber cat pupil carefully looked at the owner here. The middle-aged man was not surprised, and bowed to show respect, and then sat down again as before, except that the person opposite became a cat.

Chapter 327 Chapter 322 The Fortuneteller's View

　　 "Hello, great... well, I won't say it."

　　 Mr. Pisco said embarrassedly.

"Meow."

　　 "Thank you for your compliment. Even knowing the special status of Mr. William at the end of this epoch, I am still surprised that a presence like you will come to this world."

　　 once again express the highest respect.

"Meow."

　　 "Yes, what I said to Mr. Williams just now is true. To make you trust me, I also prepared a gift."

　　 While he was talking to the lazy cat, he took out the page of the epic poem of the years and pushed it gently, and the paper passed over the small wooden table and stopped in front of the chocolate.

　　 It waved its paw, stretched out a black hand from the shadow of the back chair, and brought the paper to the cat's mouth. The chocolate was not polite, opened his mouth and bit it, hiccuping until he ate 1/2 of the blank part of the page.

　　 It stood up, gave another threatening cry, and then jumped into the shadows and disappeared.

　　 Mr. Pisco sighed, got up and fiddled with the stove, then stood in front of the window and looked at the dark street outside the apartment. Jenkins happened to be turning at the intersection at this time, and his footprints stretched from an invisible position to there. Pisco could see the cat turning into a black line from the shadow of his feet and crawling back into his arms.

　　 "Their story looks more interesting, but unfortunately, I can't see the ending..."

　　 In order to keep energetic during the day, Jenkins went home with chocolate and slept for a while, and then walked out of the house just before dawn. At about seven o'clock, I arrived at the door of Miss Audrey's house.

　　 Snow lasted all night, and the courtyard was wrapped in silver. The flowers in the flowerbed have long since been defeated, and now only some dead branches are still standing, but after all, they are no match for the white elves that are proliferating.

　　 Jenkins paced around the fence gate, feeling that it was inappropriate to visit so early. He has a lot of secrets himself, and he always feels unsafe to discuss the current situation with the church, so he came to this brilliant gifter.

　　 If Jenkins has a habit of smoking, then he can light a cigarette to kill time at this time. But smoking will increase consumption and make cats feel uncomfortable, so he has never tried it.

　　 But luck was very good. In less than ten minutes, the door of Miss Audrey's house was opened. Two maid ladies wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and scarfs and holding brooms in cotton gloves walked out one after another.

　　 The maid who was walking in the front saw Jenkins and said something to the back. The latter immediately dropped the snow removal tool in her hand and ran into the house.

　　 In this way, Jenkins came to the room smoothly, holding a hot tea cup by the warm stove and looking at the sleepy woman on the opposite side.

"Good morning."

　　 He greeted awkwardly, but it was too early.

　　 "Good morning, Mr. William. Don't be like that. This is about the time I usually wake up. Would you like to have breakfast together? Mrs. Stephen's craftsmanship is very good."

　　 "No, I actually have something urgent to find you."

　　 He took a sip while holding the tea cup, the warm current flowed down the esophagus to the stomach, and his whole body became warm.

　　 "Do you know C-07-0-0001, [Epic of Time]?"

　　 The woman's eyes sharpened at once.

"knew......"

　　 He wanted to talk and stopped, as if worrying about something, "A very special gift."

　　 "It's fine if you know, I want to know if it is possible that a page of paper falls off the body and is obtained by the gifter."

　　 Miss Audrey took a long sigh and took a sip from the teacup like Jenkins, but Jenkins always felt that this was hiding his nervous emotions.

　　 "Such things have happened before. Even if it is just an epic page, it has a very powerful and magical power, but the cost of using it is also huge. Have you encountered something?"

　　 "Um... well, it's like this..."

　　 It is precisely because the 31st will be backtracked this time, so Jenkins can safely explain what he has encountered. Of course, the paragraph about divinity is not mentioned.

　　 Miss Audrey sat opposite him and listened calmly, without saying a word. It wasn't until Jenkins finished speaking that he frowned.

"please wait a while."

　　 She made an apologetic expression, got up and walked out of the living room, and returned with a set of fortune-telling cards after a while.

　　 This time it was not just a simple draw. The maid was called to draw all the curtains and removed all the furniture in the living room, leaving only a carpet in the center.

　　 Miss Audrey gave Jenkins a ceremonial chalk and asked him to draw some weird symbols around the circular carpet. The maids took out the luxurious golden candlesticks from the basement and placed them around them. The candle is also specially made. If you look closely, you can see that the wax is wrapped in gold filaments, and the gold filaments are carved into runes.

　　 Miss Audrey knelt alone on the circular carpet, and put the cards in her hand on the carpet with a serious expression.

　　 After some arrangements were made, the maids quickly left and moved some screens to make this space a dark room. Jenkins also knelt down on the carpet, facing the woman.

　　 Between the two is the fortune-telling card placed strictly in accordance with the law.

　　 The flame stretched the shadows of the two of them, they closed their eyes at the same time, and reverently painted the holy emblem of their belief in righteousness on their chests. This is a step that must be carried out before the important ceremony begins.

　　 "Mr. William, I will lead you through a very formal divination ceremony. Please act according to my instructions."

"Ok."

　　 He nodded his head nervously, being able to participate in a ceremony of this level is a reward in itself. In fact, such rituals are generally not allowed to be watched or attended at will. Fortune-tellers strictly keep their own secrets, which is also the requirement of the discipline of divination.

　　 "Now, please release your soul emblem. Let the emblem respond to your spirit and extend the scope to this carpet."

　　 As she said, she closed her eyes and raised her head. His arms opened slightly, as if embracing an invisible person in mid-air. With this series of actions, the purple emblem appeared, and the center of the circle was a pattern like a spinning shuttle.

　　 The emblem was produced from the top of her forehead. Miss Audrey kept this movement, the area of ​​the emblem gradually expanded and decreased, and finally it was printed on the snow-white plush carpet without a pattern.

　　 She opened her eyes and looked at Jenkins.

　　 Jenkins nodded, tangled in his heart: "Which one is better?"

Chapter 328 Chapter 323 Search

　　, thinking that the events of this day will not be remembered anyway, Jenkins imitated the woman's actions just now, releasing the purple pentagram emblem and superimposing it on the carpet.

Miss Audrey had obvious surprise on her face, but she did not ask, she just reminded: "Not everyone has the talent to learn divination. But the soul emblem is the color of destiny, so there must be this talent. The Church of the Sage I have been informed that in the next six months, I will teach you astrology courses, and then we can discuss related matters again."

　　 Two purple emblems were finally fixed on the surface of the carpet where the two were kneeling. As the spirit in the body slowly flowed, the complex patterns drawn on the ground with ceremonial chalk began to show purple light.

　　 A gust of wind blew in the room suddenly, and the cards in front of them flew up and fell on the purple light patterns around the two by coincidence and evenly.

　　 Miss Audrey nodded, her long hair draped and flying in the wind, and then the Vientiane Impermanence Card [The Arsonist] that I had seen last time appeared in the middle of the two.

　　 "This is the core of the divination ceremony, as a beacon to prevent us from getting lost in the torrent of destiny."

　　 "Then do I need..."

　　 "This card is enough. We are doing card divination this time, and the risk is relatively small. But if we can use the crystal ball or even more dangerous dreams in the future, then the road signs must be set more."

　　 She seems to have changed the booked astrology course into divination teaching, but Jenkins is not against it.

　　 Keep silent as Ms. Audrey ordered, and the wind that had blown away the cards also calmed down. The elegant woman on the opposite side closed her eyes, and a strange ethereal breath emerged from her body.

　　 The last time she watched Miss Audrey's divination, she also exuded the same feeling.

　　 The wind that had subsided began to raging again, but this time only three cards were blown up.

　　 When they are still rising in the wind, scream, all the cards burn. In the end, there was only a pile of ashes that fell in front of the two, and even the Wanxiang impermanence card between the two shook fiercely.

　　 "Is this... normal?"

"Do not."

　　 The woman opened her eyes, "But at least it means that everything you say is true."

　　 After confirming this, Jenkins was relieved a lot. He asked Miss Audrey to perform a divination again to confirm what Mr. Pisco called the "disaster that destroyed 1/3 of the continent".

　　 But Miss Audrey said that she could do nothing. She made it clear:

"Divination is not omnipotent. What we can see is only some ambiguous appearances. As with many things that involve so many things, no clever fortune-telling person is sure to be able to see the truth behind the fog. But you have to I know, I can do divination, but the final result may lead to a worse ending."

　　 Jenkins can only give up, there really is no shortcut.

　　 Since Mr. Pisco said that all things will happen around Jenkins, then the events that may lead to the so-called catastrophe should be around him or his friends.

　　 Miss Audrey hasn’t encountered strange and tricky things recently, but she suggested that Jenkins go to Miss Miller to take a look. She was commissioned by someone to search for a few quite personal photos, but she didn't know if there were any results.

　　 Thanks again to Miss Audrey for her help. After asking about the address, Jenkins borrowed an umbrella and set off again facing the snow.

　　Ms. Miller has no fixed residence in Nolan. She recently rented an apartment in an apartment which is also her office as a detective.

　　 Very unfortunately, when Jenkins knocked on the door of the apartment downstairs and explained to the landlord’s wife, he learned that Miss Miller had left the house at around 6 o’clock this morning.

　　 "Where did she go?"

　　 he asked very hopelessly, he was ready to leave.

　　 The landlady looked suspiciously at the young man who had shrunk his head because of the cold. Maybe he was confused by his young and handsome appearance, and replied slowly:

　　 "Miss Miller is going to go abroad recently. Today, she is going to prepare winter clothes. She is going to the colder Kingdom of Hampavor. Probably to Mrs. Baxter's garment store, she almost only goes there to buy clothes."

　　 Mrs. Baxter’s ready-to-wear store is not a well-known store in the business district. On the contrary, it is located at an inconspicuous corner of a street near the outskirts of the city.

　　 This intersection is a very rare five-way intersection, two of which lead to the city, and three can go directly out of the city. And due to the unreasonable design of the intersection, the clothing store protrudes like a corner, but it is also more convenient for pedestrians to find it.

　　 On a snowy winter day, pedestrians are even more reluctant to stay outside. The floor of the clothing store is covered with red tiles, and a few round tables like dessert shops are specially placed at the door for people to rest, but now it is also covered with snow.

　　 Jenkins hurriedly got down from the carriage, took out the money points from his pocket to the coachman, then set up the black umbrella and walked towards the store.

　　 The chocolate squeezed the hairy head out of the collar very restlessly, and I don't know how it got out of such a narrow exit.

　　 opened the door, and the warm wind let the man breathe a sigh of relief. He looked around and did not see the short lady he was familiar with. There were only two young female employees sorting out the goods in the shop. The middle-aged female boss was wearing a black body-sculpting fleece, gold-wire glasses, and a draped left shoulder. A measuring tape. The golden hair is specially made into a curly style, and a cross-shaped earring is pinned to the left ear.

"Hello, welcome."
