Chapter 249 Everything is Fate
"I believe you can find your brother." Shu Li said sincerely.
As the saying goes, where there is sincerity, even metal and stone will be opened.
As long as you have determination and perseverance, you can overcome all difficulties.
"Thank you." Nasha said firmly, "No matter how much time and energy it takes, I will do my best to find my brother."
Seryu said, "Don't worry. The Entelin Association is very efficient. Perhaps we'll have news by the time we get back."
Nasha asked excitedly, "Really?"
Seleu nodded confidently. "It was through the Enteling Association that I found my sister."
"Your sister?" Shu Li asked. When Seryu was describing his life story just now, he mentioned his sister.
"Yes, my sister, Cecile." Seleu confessed, no longer hiding anything. "She now goes by the alias Simu and travels around the world under the guise of a song and dance troupe, lobbying certain forces to aid us in our revenge."
His sister is better than him and thinks about problems more comprehensively.
Denton Trick has an entire country behind him, with thousands of troops. Not only are there necromancers who are loyal to him, but also black knights who kill without blinking an eye. The two siblings are alone and weak, and it would be like hitting a rock with an egg if they tried to fight him head-on with their own strength.
Therefore, my sister had been secretly developing her power long ago, gathering all the strength she could, and trying her best to compete with Denton Trick.
"Simu!"
"A chorus?"
The goblins and Nasha all gasped softly.
Seryu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hehe, we are very familiar with Captain Simu!" Budno grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Captain Ximu loves to exploit us!" Dizio crossed his arms. "She tricked us into performing on stage and we have to give her half of the money we earn."
"She loves to steal our barbecue," Amanda said resentfully.
Nasha murmured in disbelief: "Captain Ximu... is actually your sister."
Captain Simu was her benefactor. Without her troupe's cover, she wouldn't have been able to go to the royal city and see her aunt, Queen Helati. Without Captain Simu's help, she wouldn't have been able to come to the Midgard to attend the Magic Academy.
Moreover, during the eight years in the Royal City of Adilan, Captain Simu took care of her from time to time, guiding her like an older sister, and helping her to integrate into the unfamiliar environment more quickly.
Nasha looked at Seryu with guilt and apologized again: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hated you like that just now..."
"No need to apologize." Seleu asked in surprise, "You all know my sister?"
"I know him." Shu Li smiled. "It's fate!"
It's really a coincidence. The world is so small. After going around in circles, I found that all the people I met were people I knew.
He poked Farm, who was sleeping soundly on the table, and said to Nasha, "You asked me before why I went to the royal city of Adilan with Ilio to find the queen eight years ago. Now I can answer you."
"——Because of the curse." Shu Li said.
"curse?"
His confused human teammates looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, a curse." Shu Li sighed helplessly, and then slowly explained the reason why he was cursed and how to remove the curse.
Because of a deal with a three-headed water monster, he got a small treasure chest. He happily opened it, but ended up being cursed by the magician who possessed it...
The more Nasha listened, the more shocked she became. She couldn't help but cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out loud.
It turns out that Amo and Mr. Al went to Queen Helati to find a way to remove the curse? And the magician who cursed Amo was actually the royal wizard sent by the queen mother - Claude Bull.
In order to ask for help from the Dalia Empire, Claude went through untold hardships and traveled to many places. He finally boarded a ship to the Dalia Empire, but encountered a tsunami and died in the Danaga Sea.
Finally, holding on to a glimmer of hope, he attached his soul to the treasure chest, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Miracles do happen.
The high-level three-headed monster swam into the sea to pick up treasures and found his treasure chest. As luck would have it, the treasure chest fell into the hands of the little goblin.
The innocent little fairy happily opened the treasure chest, but was cursed.
Originally, the curse could be lifted by simply destroying the magician's soul, but Amo chose to help the magician deliver the letter.
Nasha couldn't help but shed tears.
The nation of Pedam was invaded by the nation of Cecilly, leaving it isolated and helpless, with no neighboring nation offering assistance. Unexpectedly, a tiny fairy from the fairy forest far to the west took the risk of stepping into the human world to deliver a letter for someone so remote.
What's even more coincidental is that Amo and Mr. Al met the song and dance troupe of Captain Simu, and with their cover, she and Rosen were able to escape the pursuit of the Hermon Knights, successfully enter the Royal City of Adilan, and meet the queen.
All of this is so unbelievable, as if there is a pair of hands in the dark that bring them together.
"Amo, thank you." Nasha said sincerely.
"Hehe, helping others is the essence of happiness!" Shu Li touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "How could I have known that opening a treasure chest would lead to a trap?"
"Hehe, Sperian is most afraid of treasure chests now!" Disio winked.
"Why?" Amanda asked.
"Three years ago, we exchanged a large treasure chest from the three-headed water monster." Budnobi drew a picture. "No, to be exact, it was a coffin."
Kumandi paused his writing and looked up at Hector. "It's about you."
"Coffin? Me?" Hector was stunned and inexplicably nervous, and a guess popped up in his mind.
It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
He turned his silver-gray eyes, looked at Shu Li for confirmation, and waited anxiously for the answer.
Shu Li said, "Yes, the snow wolf totem painted on that coffin is the emblem of the Snowwo family. We were just worrying about how to get the coffin home when the Mage Saint arrived."
Hector knew everything that happened next without him having to explain it in detail.
His eyes turned red, his nose felt sore, he raised his hands to cover his face, and choked: "...Thank you, thank you..."
Thank you to the kindness of the little goblins for helping his father return home safely and be buried in peace.
Others couldn't help but sigh.
Siti sighed secretly, looked at the crying Hector, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for the Valley of the Wind...your father wouldn't have had the accident."
Over the past ten thousand years, the Valley of the Wind has swallowed up countless adventurers and caused countless heartbreaking tragedies.
Siti clenched her fists and was determined to find out the cause of the Valley of the Wind, solve the problem fundamentally, and prevent similar tragedies from happening again in the future.
Hector wiped the tears from his face and smiled a slightly embarrassed smile. "You don't have to apologize to me. There are other places besides the Valley of the Wind, such as the Unibal Swamp and the Ergoga Desert. The heir of the Snowwo family must go to dangerous places for training every year, so accidents are inevitable."
He just didn't expect that his father would leave him at such a young age and he didn't even see him for the last time.
What made him even more sad was that without his father, his status in the family plummeted. If it weren't for the God of Magic, he might have been deprived of the opportunity to attend the magic academy.
"Thank you!" He thanked the goblins again.
"Everything is fate." In fact, even Shu Li himself did not expect that when he was in the fairy forest, some small actions would be related to the humans in the outside world, and under the arrangement of fate, they came together.
He rolled his eyes, looked at Ace who was listening to the story quietly, and asked tentatively: "Do you have a story related to me?"
"Me?" Ace smiled.
Farm, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyelids and glanced at the Elf King disguised as a human.
There's no need to tell too many stories about the goblin; it just depends on whether he's willing to tell them.
"Yes." Shu Li stared at him expectantly.
"Yes." Ace said, "You saved me."
"Huh?" Shu Li was stunned.
Ace said gently, "I was robbed by bandits and lost everything. I almost starved to death on the roadside. It was you and them who saved me."
He gestured towards the other goblins and dragons.
"It's just a small favor." Shu Li blinked. "Anyone who sees you fainted on the roadside will lend a hand."
Ace shook his head: "Not necessarily. Most people are afraid of getting into trouble and choose to stay away from strangers."
Hector sighed: "Fairies are such a kind race."
Shu Li chuckled again and said, "Helping others is the root of happiness!"
After Kumandi finished writing the last line, he looked up at Shu Li, who was smiling brightly.
In the education of fairies, the true meaning is to stay away from humans.
Only Sperian acted independently, making some unexpected moves, and these moves invisibly affected the fate of others.
Ace tapped the tabletop lightly and casually asked Shu Li, "You said that after the curse was lifted, the Queen of the Dalia Empire gave you a small box?"
"Yes." Shu Li grasped the storage ring hanging on his chest, took out a small, exquisite silver box from it, and placed it on the table, showing it to everyone. "That's it."
The others came closer and examined the small silver box carefully.
It was the first time for the little fairies like Disio to see it, and they poked it curiously with their fingers.
"What's in it?" Angel asked.
"Is this a mechanism?" Budno gently pushed the small grid on the side of the box.
"Is this a thank-you gift from the Queen?" Nasha asked in confusion. If it was a thank-you gift, it seemed too simple.
She had seen the queen's rewards for meritorious service: gold coins, gems, crystals, silk, luxurious mansions, and so on. Amo and Mr. Al not only brought her news of Pedam, but also saved her and the little princess's lives, yet they were only rewarded with a small silver box.
A box made of pure silver would not sell for much money unless it contained an important treasure.
"Yes." Shu Li deftly pushed the small grid on the side with his fingers and quickly cracked the mechanism. With a "click", the lid of the box opened.
He took out a map from the box, moved the dozing Farm to the corner of the table to make room, and spread out the map carefully.
"This is the treasure map of the Snow Country's maze."
"Treasure map!"
Others were shocked.
Good stuff!
This is the treasure that many adventure teams dream of!
Since ancient times, countless adventurers have fought tooth and nail for a treasure map.
The Queen of the Dalia Empire actually gave Sperian a rare treasure map, which was a great gift.
"A snowy mountain maze?" Ace examined the treasure map, his slender fingers swiping from top to bottom. He saw at a glance, "This map is incomplete."
Shu Li gave him a thumbs-up in admiration. "It's indeed incomplete. According to Ilio, the Snow Mountain Maze has nine levels, and this map only covers seven."
Dissio was disappointed. "Is an incomplete treasure map still a treasure map?"
Shu Li asked, "Do you know how many years it took to reach the seventh level?"
Desio shook his head.
"A thousand years." Shu Li sighed. "Countless adventurers risked their lives, and it took a thousand years to reach the seventh level."
Others were amazed.
This is indeed a rare treasure map.
Ace pondered and said, "You want to go to the Snow Mountain Maze?"
Shu Li put away the treasure map and returned it to the small silver box without denying it. "Yes."
"Why?" Ace asked, "The Snow Mountain Labyrinth is fraught with danger. Even a Mage Saint would be in danger of death if he entered."
Shu Li's gray-green eyes revealed a determined look. "I have a reason to go."
Kumandi frowned. "What's the reason?"
Shu Li said, "I found information in ancient books that the water spirit is in the snow mountain maze. If I want to become stronger, I must gain the recognition of the water spirit."
From the moment he decided to look for the elemental elves, he made a great determination to move forward bravely no matter how difficult the road ahead was.
Nothing is difficult in the world if you set your mind to it.
He is determined to obtain the water spirit.
The boy's eyes were as sharp as torches, his delicate face was full of determination and perseverance, his thin body exuded a fearless aura, and he was as dazzling as the scorching sun, radiant with light.
Unconsciously, the others were influenced by him, and a warm current surged in their chests and their hearts were surging.
"Sperian, we're going with you!"
The goblins said in unison.
"And me!" Amanda raised her hand excitedly.
Ace's green eyes twinkled with stars, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Since we are heroes, we must advance and retreat together."
Seleu, Hector, Siti, and Nasha looked at each other and saw determination on each other's faces.
The four of them raised their right hands at the same time, placed them over their chests, and solemnly saluted and swore an oath to Shu Li.
"I, Seleu (Hector/Siti/Nasha), am willing to become a hero and fight alongside you to protect the Austin continent, eliminate the forces of darkness, and prevent the God of Darkness from returning to the human world!"
Before, they were hesitant and unable to make a commitment, but now, after learning about the little goblin's actions, they were grateful and had no reservations.
Shu Li was thrilled to have a new member join the Hero Team. He extended his hand and said, "Great! Welcome aboard!"
Ace reached out his hand and placed it on the back of Shu Li's hand. "May the God of Light grant us the strength and courage to defeat the darkness!"
Immediately afterwards, others put their hands on it one after another.
"May the God of Light grant us the strength and courage to defeat the darkness—"
