"All this time, your name still hasn't appeared in my sight."
She was still wearing the white robe, still had the same young face, and the image of the woman in thin clothing that was completely inconsistent with the cold scene around her appeared in front of Duan Qing as he entered.
It seemed that she did not expect that the two sides would meet in such a situation. There was a hint of joy in the woman's eyes that had just opened. She looked at Duan Qing up and down for a while, and finally showed a sighing smile: "But
Somehow... I still expected your arrival."
"...How do you know?"
"Feel."
Pointing towards the other side of the narrow and cold cave, the voice of the woman in white robe was still full of the same indifference and mystery as in the impression: "In the past few days, I have discovered many things that are the same in you as before.
The problems encountered by many other adventurers passing through this small town... I couldn't clearly see their fate. Until Fenghua Town was occupied, I had been thinking about the root of this problem, but now... everything
It’s not that important anymore.”
"My judgment is no longer based on so-called threads, but on human intuition." She looked at Duan Qing, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips: "You and your teammates will come back to help us...
I have always believed this in my heart.”
"...Thank you for your trust in us." Duan Qing was silent for a while, then smiled and knelt down opposite the woman: "And... you seem to have become wiser."
"Don't use that word to describe a destiny weaver. It will only remind us of our own problems." The woman smiled and shook her head: "A destiny weaver who cannot judge by fate is like a person whose faith has been destroyed.
The Stegel people are just as helpless and hesitant..."
"It is indeed good to follow the arrangements of fate, but sometimes breaking fate is not an unacceptable choice." Duan Qing reminded the other party in a low voice: "And judging from the current situation, the troubles you have encountered...should be
Isn’t it more than what you said?”
"...Things in Fenghua Town are over. As long as people are still there, there is hope for everything." The woman sitting on the floor didn't seem to care at all about the setbacks in front of her, and there was no smile on her face.
The slightest change: "On the contrary, after abandoning the guidance of fate, I saw more things, such as the changes in human nature in this war, and... the amazing beauty shown by originally weak people."
"Really, little Nina?" She pointed at the little girl who had not spoken since Duan Qing came in, and then pulled her to her side: "In this period of time... you have grown up.
Quite a few."
"...Teacher Lorna is a good person." The girl holding the staff hesitated for a while, and finally slowly sat next to the woman in white robe: "So, so..."
"I've been meaning to ask before." As if he didn't want to break the atmosphere in front of him, Duan Qing scratched his nose awkwardly: "I have heard your name several times in other places...
…Are you Lorna?”
"...Yes, that is a name I had a long time ago." The woman in white robe who patted Nina on the head smiled and raised her head: "Where did you hear it?"
"Well..."
"...let me guess."
Looking at Duan Qing's confused face, Lorna's voice became more relaxed: "Did that old fellow Richard tell you, or did my dear sister tell you?"
"Your sister?" Duan Qing's eyes became more confused: "I'm sorry, but I don't seem to have met many women who are similar to you... huh?"
"...It seems you are thinking of someone."
Looking at Duan Qing's eyes that suddenly widened, the smile on Lorna's face became even brighter: "I found many familiar flavors from the threads that appeared on your body. Combined with a series of recent events on the Free Continent,
Events...your journey and the fateful trajectory you have taken are very easy to guess."
"There is only one Weaver of Destiny in the Free City, and her name is Gardevoir." Lorna chuckled and put her hands on her belly: "Of course... people who are familiar with her have another name for her,
It’s called Shanna.”
"...a mouthful of my old blood."
Crossing his arms and sighing for a while, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly, and then with the increasingly obvious smile of the woman in white robe opposite him, he put away his intention to lament this coincidence: "You...you
Do you know what happened to her?"
"Her destiny has been changed, so... this question is meaningless." Looking at the adventurer in front of her, Lorna's voice became deeper: "Originally, I was still thinking about the next Void Library.
The position of administrator was given to Nina, but now... I'm afraid this arrangement will be postponed."
"The administrator of the Void Library?" The look of surprise on Duan Qing's face magnified again: "I heard from Gardevoir that there are many administrators in that place... Are you one of them?"
"So I don't care about the fall of Fenghua Town at all."
Showing a mysterious smile again, Lorna replied in a calm voice: "What they can find is only an ordinary mountain top and an ordinary library. Everything about the Void Library... there is nothing they can do."
"So..." Duan Qing pondered for a while, and slowly turned his eyes to the northwest: "They seized Fenghua Town, but they came just for you? They just sent so many people to capture you.
of manpower..."
"The Restorationists don't have any hatred against me. They don't even know that I exist." Lorna replied in a slow voice: "For things to become like this, there must be another force that does not belong to the Restorationists secretly.
action……"
"I know their identities, and their shadows can be seen behind the battle in Freedom City." Thinking back to those mysterious figures and the players who have been tracking him since that war, Duan Qing's voice also
It became as cold as the temperature inside and outside the cave: "As one of the victims, Lord Gardevoir, he also introduced me to the entanglements that occurred within the Destiny Weaver..."
"Since you already know their existence, I don't need to explain too much." Lorna replied in a calm voice: "My fate may have been entangled with them, but this time... they
What I did was beyond the scope of what I could bear.”
"In order to force me out of this world, they tried to reduce the entire Fenghua Town to nothing."
As the temperature around her seemed to be dropping again, Lorna's voice became much colder: "They ignore the fate of other living beings. They... try to become the masters of fate."
"Everyone's fate should be decided by themselves." Duan Qing also said thoughtfully: "My companions and I have long been unable to stand the series of actions they have done in the past... Please
Believe us, we will definitely be able to take back Fenghua Town."
"Recapture Fenghua Town?" Looking up at Duan Qing's face, Luo Na's eyes became strange: "...Although it is excusable, your understanding may be a little biased - take that worthless town
Taking it back doesn't seem to be of any help to our purpose."
"...Then what do you want to do?" Duan Qing looked at the other party with a puzzled face: "Do you want to eliminate all those people?"
"Even if you keep emphasizing the uncertainty of fate, you have to admit... it does play its role."
After a long moment of depressed silence, Lorna's voice slowly echoed in the small cave: "For example... why did you suddenly find us at this time?"
"This is because……"
Recalling a certain match scene he had seen in the League Cup, Duan Qing finally swallowed what he wanted to say: "Maybe it's a coincidence? It was mentioned in the map that Richard gave me before.
This ruins here, so I came over to take a look..."
"Destiny cannot make meaningless arrangements, even a seemingly meaningless scene."
Shaking her head and ignoring Duan Qing's hesitant attitude, Lorna continued to explain: "Many things that seem to happen occasionally must have their own reasons behind them. This may be the case when you come to this surrounded ruins. Restoration
The same is true for the authors who chose Xifeng County as the place of origin. They have carefully planned it for such a long time... they won’t even be able to choose a good place to show up.”
"Perhaps you don't believe in fate, but you should believe in cause and effect." She pointed to the snow-colored sky outside the cave, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips again: "Go, wait until you understand the reason...
"
"You will know what to do."
*********************************
"The teacher was injured while escaping earlier."
Time came to the afternoon of this day. On the snow-white field in the south of Fenghua Plain, the little girl holding the purple light staff explained to Duan Qing softly while walking with Duan Qing in the vast sea of snow.
: "In order to save the townspeople who liked to bully me, the teacher cast a lot of magic, but suddenly several bad guys in black clothes emerged from the crowd, and then injured the teacher..."
"So...you saved the teacher in the end?"
"How could Nina watch her teacher being beaten..."
Seemingly referring to some kind of sad scene, the little girl holding the staff also became depressed: "Teacher is so good to me and has taught me many things. If the teacher is also...the teacher is also..."
"Okay, okay, our Nina is the best." Duan Qing, who was accompanying him, hurriedly patted the little girl's head to express comfort: "Not only has she become so powerful, but she can also take care of others, hahahaha
…”
"Nina is not as timid as Brother Qingshan said."
As if she wanted to get rid of this dull mood, Nina, who was walking in front, shouted. Her petite body with a white hood immediately escaped from Duan Qing's clutches: "The teacher also praised her later.
I'm married! She even gave me the staff she made with her own hands. She also said... when we return to town, she will make me a beautiful robe with her own hands, similar to the one worn by the teacher.
They are exactly the same!"
"But this is what you are wearing now." Duan Qing scratched his nose: "Not only is it white, but it also looks as ordinary as your teacher... How did you two do it?
With so few people, are you not afraid of the cold at all?"
"The teacher once taught Nina before, saying that people with similar fates... will also leave their own living space." Nina, holding the staff, looked up at the sky: "Although Nina doesn't understand the specifics yet.
What do you mean, but it seems like you won’t be afraid of the cold this way.”
"You city folk are really good at playing... No, you are really good at it."
Looking at the doubtful eyes that the other party looked at him again, Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hands: "Anyway, I will ask for your help in the next task of investigating Fenghua Town."
"Nina will help Brother Qingshan, but there is not much that Nina can do." The little girl walking in front slowed down a little: "If Brother Qingshan hadn't followed this time, the teacher wouldn't have let Nina easily.
Na came out alone..."
"Believe in your teacher, and also believe in you, Brother Qingshan." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "If it doesn't work, just think of it as a brand new adventure for us to team up together."
"Really?" The little girl immediately jumped out of her nervous and embarrassed mood: "Then Nina can also be a big adventurer and become a member of the story?"
"Yes, we are now teammates who live and die together."
Duan Qing smiled and nodded, but his eyes gradually moved to the outline of the mountain city not far away: "Although I don't know..."
"Why does your teacher who refuses to explain anything clearly give us this inexplicable task?"
Two similarly white figures moved slowly with the blowing wind and snow, gradually passing through the clear roads originally distributed on the Fenghua Plain, and finally arrived at the familiar building just before the sun was about to set.
Near the town, the flying catkins that were originally regarded as the symbol of the town disappeared with the arrival of winter. They were replaced by groups of heavily armed patrol guards scattered around the town. Two people who stayed away far away.
The individuals discussed with each other for a moment, and then under the leadership of Duan Qing, they slowly touched the corner of the city wall that surrounded half of the town: "Okay, I'm so nervous..."
"Don't be nervous, their eyes are not that good."
"Yes, but didn't the teacher say that they have all left?"
"You can leave, and of course you can come back...shh."
Amidst the noisy noise, a large number of people appeared outside the gate of Fenghua Town following Duan Qing's warning, and then slowly disappeared into the distance of the snowy field along the line of sight of the two men watching in secret.
