Chapter 8 Fate Cards

With the same amazement, the two of them stared at each other, with surprise in their eyes.

"Do you know the pattern above?"

Quinine Carrick first broke the calm, his eyes revealing excitement and expectation.

Li Tong smiled awkwardly.

"I just felt a little surprised. My blood was able to draw patterns. It was amazing."

The eyes, which were originally full of excitement and expectation, dimmed a little, and Quinine Carrick let go of the hand holding his wrist and stared at the pattern in the blood and continued to remain silent.

Li Tong withdrew his hand and covered the wound on his wrist with his collar so as not to let more blood flow out. He also stared at the already clear patterns in the blood. Of course, his explanation was not the real reason for his amazement.

The real reason is... this pattern is not the first time I have seen it!

"A hunched old man, wearing a black robe, hugged his hands tightly, as if he was praying devoutly."

The first time I saw this pattern was the pocket watch from my previous life. The pattern on the pocket watch lid was exactly the same and vivid.

While thinking, I saw the bounty hunter take out a page of poker-sized paper card from his arms, gently wipe it on his clothes, and then buckle it on the bloodstain the size of a palm.

The pattern on the blood was just covered.

"What is he doing?"

Li Tong temporarily pulled his thoughts back to reality and looked at this scene curiously.

After a moment, Quinine Carrick picked up the card that was stuck on the blood and swung it a few times in the air to allow the blood stains stained on the card to air dry.

The card is placed on the desktop.

When the card was placed on the tabletop, the bright red light quickly faded away like the setting sun, and the candlelight occupied the room again and everything returned to normal.

Li Tong put his head up.

The pattern was rubbed on the card, as clear as printing, bright red, with some excess blood stains remaining on the edges.

When you reach out and touch it, it has a concave and convex texture and is quite good.

"Magic is indeed magical, much better than the watermark technology in the era of technology."

Quinine Carrick's originally stagnant expression gradually soothed, his mouth raised, he shook his head and said to himself.

"It's really unexpected."

Li Tong was confused by this muttering, why did he say it unexpectedly?

The bounty hunter's eyes temporarily left the card, looked up and down at the young man in front of him. After a long time, he collapsed on the chair and laughed silently.

"You know, your destiny card is a brand new discovery for my employer."

"Um?"

Li Tong subconsciously responded, and his mind was still stuck on the card.

"How come this thing is in the blood?"

Quinine Carrick licked his dry lips and sat upright.

"I know you must have a lot of doubts in your heart now. If you are just an ordinary awakened person, I will turn around and leave without hesitation, but you are not, I have to explain it in detail to you."

"etc……"

Li Tong realized that the next conversation was very important, so he quickly got up and walked to the stove to fill in some firewood to keep the room warm and comfortable. When he returned to his position, he nodded to start.

"Start by cutting your wrist just now."

The bounty hunter thought for a moment and determined the starting point of the conversation.

"You invited me to a hearty and unique dinner, so I decided to see for you whether you were awakened after the teleportation magic ceremony. If you awaken, what are the special abilities you gain, and as reward for you."

Li Tong nodded.

"So am I awake now?"

"Of course, you're awakened."

Quinine Carrick picked up the card on the table and swayed it.

"This card is the best testimony. Only the blood of the awakened person will form such a card pattern. We usually call this pattern the original fate card."

"Fate Card?"

Li Tong reached out to pick up the card, feeling incredible that there was such a hidden card in his blood.

"What abilities do I gain after I wake up?"

Quinine Carrick stroked the tuft of hair that was hanging down in front of him that blocked his vision, looking a little disappointed.

"I could know the abilities you gained through the original fate cards that were generated after awakening, because I have seen ten different original fate cards, and they are named after our understanding, namely farmers, sailors, free men, craftsmen, vendors, lawyers, hunters, gold diggers, apprentices, and thieves. I know what abilities each represents. But now it has expired on you."

“Failed?”

"Yes, it's invalid. According to my employer's research over the years, there are only ten original fate cards, and there is an eleventh one here. This brand new original fate card has never been seen before, so naturally I don't know what the super powers your original fate card represents."

Listening to the Bounty Hunter's explanation and taking into account the parts he had already known before, Li Tong probably had some clues.

"There are two results in studying the mysterious power of stone slabs. One is the curse of failure, such as Rensade, and the other is to study successful awakening. After awakening, you will gain a mysterious ability. At the same time, this primitive fate card will appear in the blood of the awakened person."

But the problem is that I have not successfully studied it, but I have accidentally avoided the curse results through the magic ritual. It is logical that I should not awaken and have this original fate card.

Quinine Carrick obviously thought of this.

"You avoided the curse result because of the failure of the magical ritual through time, and finally awakened, there is only one explanation."

"What is the explanation?" Li Tong wanted to know and asked urgently.

"The failure of the magical ritual through time is your fateful event." Quinine Carrick spoke with a firm tone.

Li Tong heard a brand new noun again.

"Fateful Event?"

The bounty hunter's expression became extremely pious at this moment, just like a devout believer in a certain church.

"Yes, everyone has a set fate. The wheel of destiny is hidden in your blood and is in a stagnant state. The occurrence of certain random events will activate the hidden wheel of destiny, allowing it to rotate, prompting you to embark on the destiny path. The name of the destiny card also comes from this. This random event that prompts your wheel of destiny is called a destiny event."

"Since the fateful event is a random event, it is naturally not inevitable. Some people will not be activated throughout their lives, while others can encounter unexpectedly, such as you."

Speaking of emotions, Quinine Carrick is like a natural orator, passionate.

"In fact, the mysterious slab is not your fateful event, it is just the fateful event of your companion Rensard, but he did not complete the random event and was eventually cursed. Unfortunately, you were affected by his fateful event. In order to get rid of the bad state, you conducted a magical ritual through time, and the accident happened to start your fateful event, so you awakened."

In other words, he suffered from the unscathed disaster of Rensade, but if he thought about it carefully, Ronin Austin would not have performed a magical crossing ceremony if he was not affected. Therefore, to be precise, the combination of the mysterious stone slab and the crossing ceremony is his destiny event, and it is even possible that the pocket watch in his previous life was also part of the destiny event.

Li Tong thought of a more perfect explanation, but there is still a doubt here.
