Chapter 425 Mo Cheng's Fate
Destiny, fate.
A noun that Mo Cheng did not like, but the source of his dislike was not that this word determined everything.
He didn't like the word "fate". The origin of the word was when Mo Cheng was very young and it was related to an old man.
When Mo Cheng was very young, he was raised by his grandparents in the countryside. His parents went out to work and left the children to be raised by the elderly. This situation was not uncommon at the time.
Although Mo Cheng was a left-behind child for a period of time in his childhood, it did not change his personality much.
My grandfather had a friend who, according to today's saying, was a quack. It seemed that had a very effective person who was proficient in various ways, such as inviting the Kitchen God after moving and treating frightened children.
Occasionally, when a family has a newborn, they will ask people to see what the child's future destiny will be like and give the child a name based on the destiny.
Mo Cheng didn't know much about those things that he didn't know whether they were psychological comfort or not, but he was impressed by one thing.
One day, my grandfather and his friend were playing cards and drinking wine, and the conversation turned to Mo Cheng who was watching TV nearby. Then my grandfather asked his friend to help Mo Cheng take a look and tell his fortune.
Fate, future, or prospects, anyway, are just these things. To put it bluntly, they are just nice things to people.
It turned out that the warlock was not sure if he drank too much that day, but he staggered back home and brought back a whole box of old books.
Then, the sorcerer who claimed to be the descendant of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang and the only one who could answer the Tui Bei Tu flipped through the book with a red face, and then said a lot of things to Grandpa Mo Cheng.
"Qi Sha, Po Jun, Tan Lang enter the body, the thief who disturbs the world, the general who roams the world, the treacherous and cunning man, kill Po Lang and go against Zi Wei, and disrupt the world."
"Mars is invading Ziwei, madmen are sharpening their knives, and the imperial star is drifting away."
"Ketu Rahu has come to the world, and the devil will attack the seven evil spirits."
"Peach blossoms are evil, and disasters will befall you."
“…”
The sorcerer said a lot at that time, and Mo Cheng didn't write down all of it. However, his grandfather was drunk at the time and didn't understand, so he asked the sorcerer to explain.
The sorcerer said drunkenly, "Old...Old Mo, your grandson is like the reincarnation of Asura King, the reincarnation of Bai Qi, or the coming of the evil star Tai Sui. Wherever he goes, trouble happens, and every time it happens, it's a big deal. In my opinion, let your daughter have another...one more..."
Before the warlock could finish his words, my grandfather picked up the cup in his hand and smashed it at him, and then the two of them started fighting.
Since then, Mo Cheng remembered that apart from some established customs, his family no longer paid too much attention to some old taboos.
Grandpa and his friends often drank and played cards together later, but the sorcerer would never tell Mo Cheng's fortune.
I don’t know if my grandfather beat me too hard that time.
But later on, Mo Cheng always wanted to know what the sorcerer had predicted for him.
…
Coming back to his senses from his memories, Mo Cheng smiled and did not answer Dorothy's question. He just asked, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Mo Cheng didn't like the word "fate", but he was also wise enough not to say useless words to the star wizard who interpreted the stars and revealed "fate".
“See big trouble.”
Dorothy rubbed her temples in annoyance, messing up her hair without caring at all . It took her a while to organize her words. "According to the astrological signs, the city of Rothal is turning into a vortex. It will draw all the conflicts and struggles together and then explode."
Mo Cheng remained silent and swallowed the words "Is it possible that I saw it wrong?". Doubting a star wizard's interpretation of the astrology is like doubting a chef's cooking skills. It's like doubting someone else's meal.
"Is there any more accurate information?"
"Yes." Dorothy nodded. "Because the interpretation of the stars this time surprised me too much, I used some means to see more things at the cost of losing my ability to predict and interpret the stars for a period of time."
"Various races were fighting in the city. Countless people were lying on the ground twisted and struggling in pain."
"A giant dragon with four wings and three heads emerged from the cracks in the earth. It will bring the disappeared dragons back to this world."
"The entire city was engulfed in flames. It was completely destroyed."
"And an ancient dragon. Its body was covered with red crystals. Someone took something from its chest."
"besides……"
Having said this, Dorothy bit her lips lightly, as if she didn't want to continue.
"what else?"
"And... I saw your heart was pierced by a sword. Blood kept flowing out of the wound. The wound could not heal no matter what. At the same time, after being pierced by the sword, your heart withered and broke bit by bit."
Mo Cheng didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and thought about the credibility of the astrology.
Dorothy would not lie to him, at least lying to him would be meaningless, but Mo Cheng doubted the astrology.
Or it could be said that it was Dorothy's interpretation of the astrology. Everyone has different interpretations of the astrology, and the results are also different. Dorothy only saw a few pictures, not a continuous segment.
More importantly, the images she saw were not necessarily in chronological order.
But there was one thing Mo Cheng understood, that the things predicted by the stars were related to dragons, and the ones who had the greatest relationship with dragons in the city of Rothal were the Dragonborn of the Dragon Worshipping Cult.
Looking at Mo Cheng who was looking down in deep thought, Dorothy showed a worried expression on her face. After taking a few deep breaths, she said, "Why don't we give up?"
"What?"
"I say, why don't we give up this mission."
As a star wizard, Dorothy knew very well what the astrological signs meant. She also knew that if she continued to stay in Rotal City, the scene she saw in the picture would inevitably happen.
Dorothy didn't want Mo Cheng to die here. She didn't want the guy who came all the way to help her and didn't say a word even when the mission failed. The guy who helped her to the end just died like that.
What she didn't tell Mo Cheng was that when she interpreted the stars, it was because she saw how Mo Cheng died that she was willing to see more at all costs.
"No."
Mo Cheng refused directly. He was mentally prepared for the events that happened in Rotal City.
As for the scattered parts rewarded by his system, he had to kill strong enemies to get them. The reward for this mission was the almost irreplaceable [Aghanim's Crystal]. As soon as this mission came out, Mo Cheng was mentally prepared to be surrounded and beaten by a city or even half a country.
"Why, you'll die!"
Dorothy felt that Mo Cheng really didn't take her seriously. She clearly saw Mo Cheng's death in the stars, which meant that Mo Cheng was in the most danger in the team.
"Why?"
Because it's a system task, but this kind of thing is naturally impossible to say out loud, and it's also very troublesome to explain.
So Mo Cheng just smiled, a very hearty and sunny smile, "Because, I came here this time to help you complete the task of bringing the equipment back."
"I told you, I won't let anything happen to you."
