Chapter 179 New Year Festival
Is it my turn? Heshia was a little surprised, but she didn't think too much about it. She thought it was just to attract business.
She walked forward and thought for a while. Although she was a little confused about life sometimes, she didn't have many other things she particularly wanted. She could be said to be a person with very few desires.
Probably being able to live a stable life and occasionally have a few friends to visit would be a good life.
"I want to know about my relatives, that is, my father." The old man didn't seem to be simple, and Heshia was indeed a little curious about his past.
"Okay, please draw a card." After that, the cards flew and spun again, then fell, and then spread on the table.
Heshia drew a card and turned it over.
The card depicts a complex and dark maze, in which some monsters can be seen, there seems to be a monster with horns and human bodies, there are also poisonous snakes spitting flames, and there are spike traps descending from the top. An adventurer only shows the lower half of his body in the picture. He is wearing a brown cloak, holding a sword in one hand and a torch in the other. There are still bloodstains on the ground, indicating that he is not at ease.
"Dangerous Underground Maze", a slightly complex and vague card, means that your relative is in a complex and harsh environment and is dealing with many dangerous things. Only half of his figure is exposed on the card, which means that your understanding of him may not be comprehensive. Although there are bloodstains on the ground, which means that his environment is difficult, it also shows that he has the ability to fight and is not without resistance."
The witch lady explained the meaning of this card, and then looked at the girl in front of her, probably thinking that Heshia's father might be engaged in some dangerous activities.
"It's good to be alive." Heshia was surprised at her calm mood and didn't seem surprised.
Father is probably such a person. She can't say that she hates him, but she doesn't seem to have too many feelings, because she doesn't spend much time together, and of course the other party is not missing anything.
Looking back now, my father always handled the relationship just right. He was never too close to his daughters, but he would not neglect them. It seemed that he had anticipated that he would leave, so he deliberately kept his emotions just above the passing line.
Dad doesn't seem to be a simple person. Compared with the simple and kind mother, Dad is probably an experienced professional who can distinguish everything very clearly.
The three of them talked a lot about divination with the witch, satisfied some of their curiosity, and then said goodbye.
After the few people left, the witch pulled the bell on the side and asked her companions to temporarily close the divination hut, and then returned to the table where Heshia had drawn the card just now. In fact, while she was divination for the other party, she also started divination.
The principle of this kind of divination secret technique is difficult to explain. Even senior witches know the fact but not the reason. Perhaps only the ancient witches really understand the reason.
However, although it is impossible to be 100% sure of the future, a powerful witch will be able to sense the traces of fate, that is, the kind of people whose own karma will affect the world. She just felt this special thing in the gray-haired girl.
For such people, divination cannot be easily done, just like a mantis trying to push a heavy steel chariot, it is impossible to shake and analyze it. Only by letting the other party take the initiative to divine can we get a glimpse of the trajectory of fate.
Why do all kinds of legendary sages and wizards not change the world themselves, but support a king? That is because knowing and really doing are two different things. In addition, knowledge can also make people weak. When you know a lot of shortcuts and methods, you will not be so determined to walk on a road, so you often lack courage or want to escape.
There are often very few kings who truly realize the truth of the matter but still go forward without hesitation and do not need any encouragement and comfort. This requires not only enough character, but also strong strength to support the implementation of this will, otherwise everything is just empty talk.
"I, Serena, don't believe in the so-called people's view of history. Only the legendary heroes are worthy of my genius witch's assistance..." She complained about the current online comments with a little happiness, then spread the fan-shaped cards on the table and closed them, and then turned them over.
The card depicted a woman sitting on the throne, half of her face was sunken in the shadows, and half was exposed. She had a solemn image, and below her were kneeling generals and ministers. The throne behind her was dotted with black and purple roses, and there were traces of skulls in the shadow corners.
"Ahem..." The witch felt her chest tighten, her mouth was slightly sweet, and a trace of blood flowed out.
Then she sat on the ground, leaning against the chair and breathing heavily, and it took a while for her to feel better.
"Is this the price of prying into the fate of a big man, and the other party is obviously only over 16 years old and has not even grown up yet."
She covered her eyes with the back of her hand, sat on the ground and rested for a long time before slowly standing up and tidying up the messy cards on the table.
"I really don't know how those witches in ancient times dared to do that. Perhaps it was because the world was not big at that time, with only one planet, so they could do divination at will without fear of backlash."
"The human body, the soul in the sea of consciousness, and the fate of the star world are one and interconnected. The more people and things are involved, the wider the impact and the affected areas are, and the more difficult it is to get a glimpse of the whole picture. If you can't get a glimpse of the whole picture, you can't do divination. If you force it, you will be backlashed."
"I didn't expect that I would also have a setback. Fortunately, the teacher is not here today, otherwise I would be scolded."
"After this injury, I estimate that I won't be able to advance for two or three years. Hmm, it seems that I can only be stuck at Sequence 5."
"March Moon, Star of Stars, Alan Xiluka, Minnet Lanhua, please bless your students and descendants to spend these two years smoothly."
After standing up, the witch lady prepared to ask for leave from school and stay at home to recover from her injuries for the next few days. Because the injury touched the soul, it is estimated that she will not be able to advance for several years.
On the other hand, Heshia and her two companions continued to tour the venue until the 'Frozen Green Festival' officially began two days later.
Sitting in the venue surrounded by mountains, Heshia heard loud cheers in her ears. The scene was very lively, and the Ten Schools League was still exciting.
The competition was not all about fighting, there were also various ways to win, such as the one being played today.
"Okay, this time our Shanzhen Qingzhu Academy's contestant showed his specialty and made a T3-level meal of excellent quality, the 'Emerald Seven-Layer Pagoda' on the spot. Each layer uses different tofu and rare ingredients. The finished product is transparent, soft and smooth, with a cool taste. After eating, it can not only remove the hidden toxins in the body, but also enhance the perception of consciousness, making it easier to advance to the extraordinary sequence."
"Now his opponent, our classmate Chen Jin from Reyong Pokong Academy, began to hesitate. Should he admit defeat and accept this delicious meal, or should he hold on and resist the temptation and participate in the next round of competition?" The host explained enthusiastically.
"You know, according to the schedule, he will face Zi Huanyi from our Five Colors and Seven Wounds Academy in the next round. This poison genius who has advanced to Blood Eye Sequence 5, the chances of winning are not very high."
"Good! Our classmate Chen Jin finally started to act. He walked onto the stage! He came to the table! He raised the token in his hand!"
"He admitted defeat!" The voice was full of passion, as if he had won.
In the center of the scene, the classmate Chen Jin bent over and handed the token in his hand to his opponent, then picked up the spoon that had been prepared long ago, and quickly ate the high-level food on the table. After a while, he burped with a full stomach.
Although he lost, this big meal was eaten into his stomach. If he digested it well in the future, it would also improve his strength slightly, which is a good reward.
On the other side, the student who won by eating delicious food was also standing proudly on the high platform, accepting the cheers and praises from his classmates and the audience. He would challenge the genius from the Five Colors and Seven Wounds Academy instead of Chen Jin.
He had already prepared for the next match. Tomorrow, he would offer a portion of "Five Poisons, All Complete and All Fragrance" to the opponent. He did not believe that the genius could resist such temptation. Even if the opponent could resist it, the cute little poisonous creatures raised by the opponent could not resist the temptation of such delicious food.
After this match, the next match was between the senior class representatives of Inita Academy and the students from Juudon Academy.
On one side of the platform, a tall blonde girl strode out, surrounded by three tall and mighty black lions.
The original sequence 5 wilderness black lion, a beast known for its strength and mighty momentum, its pair of thick saber teeth were enough to tear apart excellent steel plate alloys, and its body was swift, making it a very dangerous beast.
On the other side of the platform, a woman in layered red clothes appeared. She had delicate makeup and carried a dragon-patterned crescent-shaped sword, with a beauty that combined strength and tenderness.
As the referee announced the start, the layered clothes on the red-dressed woman seemed to be burning, and a faint transparent flame rose. These flames did not disperse at will, but flowed along a special trajectory, allowing their accumulated momentum to rise higher and higher, until the three black lions on the opposite side were so afraid that they crouched and roared.
"Go!" The tall blond senior waved the folding fan in her hand, and purple light converged on the claws of the black lion, and then let the three black lions rush out.
The knife light was bright, and the red clothes fluttered. In the battle, the sharp blade broke through the tough skin of a black lion under the blessing of special magic, leaving blood marks. However, the rapid siege of the other two black lions also made the woman Wuxia continue to expand the results of the battle. She could only put away the knife to resist, and this went back and forth several times.
During this period, the three black lions were injured, but not seriously, and even gradually healed during the battle.
In fact, it is not just humans. Even the current extraordinary animals and beasts are much stronger than in previous eras. This is due to the tireless improvement and optimization of humans.
The knife light rotated continuously, and the sharp blade drew bursts of sparks on the metal fur of the black lion, and it was extremely hot, and some white smoke floated up. Then the red-dressed woman paused, rushed up suddenly, and her body jumped out of the ground and went straight into the sky.
The outer garments that were originally layered like bright flowers fluttered off layer by layer, revealing the azure blue clothes underneath. Then her aura became cold.
After completing the transformation in the air for a few seconds, the woman in azure blue clothes fell again. The sharp blade in her hand was full of coldness, as bright as the moon, and she slashed straight down.
A waning moon flashed by, and a black lion was instantly split in half, and blood was spilled on the spot. However, the person stopped a little at the end, and did not completely split it in two, but broke its body.
"I give up." Seeing her beloved partner being severely injured, the blonde senior decisively admitted defeat, and then walked off the stage holding the severely injured black lion.
She didn't dare to continue. What if the opponent didn't stop next time, there would be real casualties.
Nowadays, the competitions in the Federation often only reach Sequence 5, because the battles above Sequence 6 are extremely dangerous, and not every time they can stop at the right time, and the so-called resurrection is often very costly and has many side effects.
"Ah, it's over. The opponent just changed clothes once. According to the practice of Twelve Single Academy, you can change clothes three times at Sequence 5, each time stronger than the last, but the cost is also getting higher and higher."
"This fighting method of attaching vein marks to clothes and then relying on the intense magic power generated by the burning of the clothes itself is indeed powerful, but it is really expensive. I guess only their academy does this."
"They can afford it. Twelve Single Academy has cooperated with many clothing companies and has developed many extraordinary costumes. They are still very wealthy." "
In the Ten Schools League, the ancient factions that can still survive well in this era must have some skills, otherwise they would have been eliminated long ago."
The students talked about it, and Heshia knew that the clothing changing technique of Twelve Single Academy was in this form. I felt that this time really opened my eyes.
On the second day, she saw the special styles of other famous northern schools, including the Five Colors and Seven Wounds Academy that used dust explosions and spread toxins, and the Three Phases of the Moon Academy that used strange witchcraft.
Finally, the champion of the Ten Schools League fell into the hands of the Twelve Singles Academy, which everyone was optimistic about. The woman in the peacock dress stood with the trophy and several other students. Then the photo was frozen at that moment and printed on newspapers and news websites.
After the end of this "Frozen Green Festival", Heshia's life in the academy came to an end for the time being. The next is a vacation of more than a month.
Sitting on the train for the first time in a long time, she looked at the scenery outside. There were not many people in the carriage, and many seats were empty. The interior decoration style was the same as the steel industrial style, with clear edges and corners, solid and durable.
During the vacation, she did not plan to return to Arpeggio City, but to go to Qianliu City, or the city that had not yet been built. This was also what her uncle had always told her.
After the incident half a year ago, the two sides gradually reconciled, and Gu Qianlou occasionally sent letters to ask about Heshia's recent situation.
Although they were just a few words of greeting, they also made Heshia feel a little warm. Maybe this is a family.
The train was speeding on the rails. The long steel dragon on the ground gradually drove into the desolate wilderness. At the end of the land filled with clouds and smoke, scattered buildings were scattered and the prototype of a city slowly emerged.
"The train has arrived at the station. This station is a temporary platform. It will depart again after a five-minute break. Passengers, please get ready."
With the mechanical prompt sound, Heshia jumped off the train, carrying a simple suitcase, and walked out of the platform. A gust of cold wind and snow poured into her ears, and she felt the coolness of frost on her cheeks.
Standing in front of the designated door, Heshia knocked on the door and waited for the person inside to respond. This is a newly built house located in a corner of the city. There are still unbuilt gardens and streets around it. There are still busy self-discipline units on the road. In the sky, all kinds of tall support cranes are working in an orderly manner, and many buildings are slowly taking shape.
"Welcome back, Tilan."
A man who was a little unfamiliar to the girl opened the door. He was wearing black plain clothes, with some wrinkles on his forehead, and there were traces of burns left in the corners of his eyes.
After a few seconds of thinking and getting familiar with the person, the girl confirmed that this person was Gu Qianlou, her mother's brother, and her uncle. However, he did not wear a mask today, but met her in more casual family clothes.
"I'm back, uncle." The girl bowed and saluted, then smiled.
The two walked into the house, and soon a lively greeting and hello came out, mixed with the girl's slightly immature and shy voice, responding to the greetings of strange relatives one by one.
The snow was still falling outside the window, and in the houses that were gradually being built, these ancient oriental survivors began their New Year's festival.
Good evening~
(I rarely show up recently, probably because I feel a little ashamed. I am not very satisfied with what I write, and occasionally fall into the trap of preaching. I don't want to say too many pretentious words, so I can only adjust my state silently)
(The dull first semester is slowly coming to an end, and the main storyline is finally about to begin. I hope this can give everyone a little confidence to continue reading)
(I don’t dare to brag about anything. I feel like a child with poor grades who is ashamed to meet his parents)
