Chapter 3 Omen
"They asked about some more complicated things, about the future of the Bin tribe... and their own destiny."
"Can I know... what is the result of divination?" Ashu Rufate continued to ask.
"The Bin tribe will fail in the war, be destroyed or enslaved..." Leya wiped her face with her hands. "And they will all die... I just pointed out the trajectory of fate, but they could not accept it."
It is indeed an unacceptable fate. But this is not a reason to act roughly. If you don’t accept harsh advice, you are a fool.
"Can fate be changed?" Ashu Rufate asked.
"Some can, some can't. If it's a single line of destiny, there's a great chance of change. But when multiple lines of destiny are entangled into a node, it's difficult to change."
Ashu Rufate actually wanted to ask whether the fate of the Bin tribe could not be changed, but he was an outsider who had nothing to do with this matter, so it would be obviously not appropriate to continue asking.
"Guest, this is your first time here to divine," Leya asked.
"Yes, it's my first time here." Asu Ruffatt replied. In fact, when he said this, he felt a strange feeling. Perhaps because Leya's eyes were red and she looked like a little girl who had just cried, but she spoke in an old-fashioned tone. I learned from the fat businessman before that Leya should have been engaged in this job here for a while.
"For the first time guests, I have a discount. You can ask me a question, and I will answer the divination for free. This question can involve your personal past, present and even future. Many people question my divination, so I use this method to relieve the customer's suspicion. By the way, what is your name for the guest?"
"My name is Ashu Rufat, if you have a free question... I have a problem, I want to know where I was born?"
Leya's hand groped and took out a card. As it flipped over, Ashu Rufate saw that the card was blank.
"You were born..." Leya was obviously a blind man, but now she showed an expression of reading something. "...It's strange, you were not born? Or you have no growth at all? But this is impossible... No... There is a powerful force that distorts your destiny... A dark wall isolates your past, and the line of destiny has been cut off!...No... it's too powerful... I can't get through that obstacle!"
The girl's delicate palms, like a sculpture, spasmed and left the blank card.
"Sorry, guest, I may be too tired..." Leya calmed down after a few seconds.
"It's okay, it's my fault." Ash Rufate replied. "I lost my memory, so I forgot everything about the past. Maybe it's because of this that you can't tell the divination correctly."
That being said, but Ashu Rufate was actually secretly surprised. This divination seems to be really amazing.
"Leya, can I ask why you use blank cards?"
"It's just a tool." The girl replied. "My power... seems to be a special talent. My eyes see anything but blurry images, but I can read the line of people's destiny. But I don't know why I have this power. Maybe it's the compensation of the gods to my eyes. By the way, Guest, what other questions do you want to ask? A question of whether or not requires two silver coins. A question that needs to be answered in detail should be doubled. If you want to understand the overall future, then double it. I must explain one thing that the future is extremely difficult to speculate. In other words, the further the future is the blurry, but in a short time, the line of destiny will be easy to distinguish."
"I want to know...well, I plan to meet someone on this trip. Will this go smoothly? I don't want to answer "whether" like this, I want to be more careful."
"The person you are going to meet..." the girl looked into the mirror. "I'm afraid you can't see it. Many forces in front of you are intertwined into indescribable obstacles. You have to overcome all kinds of obstacles... You can overcome those obstacles, but the person you are going to meet cannot see... You can also understand it as your final result is not what you originally expected. This is my answer to divination." For some reason, the girl's expression looked very uneasy.
“Do you have to ask other questions?”
"I want to know what my future will be." Ashu Rufate said, "It's better to describe it roughly."
"Your future..." Leya once again touched a card, and Ashu Rufat noticed that her body seemed to be trembling. "I saw a battlefield of thousands of troops... I saw neat battle formations, various monsters, as well as steel and flesh... I saw countless blood dripping along the blade... You may have to go through a lot of battles." Her hand trembled with a drop of the card, and picked up a new one. "I saw the dark castle, cruel slavery and the blade of death... I saw the fear in people's hearts... You will become a conqueror and ruler." She dropped the card again, this time her hands were trembling very hard, and it took a long time to pick up the third card. "...I saw a god screaming and falling under your sword's edge... You will kill the god!" She dropped the card.
"No, I can't watch anymore!" Leya suddenly screamed, and she reached out to grab Ash Rufate's hand, but at the moment of contact, she retracted like a soldering iron. She bent down and lay on the table without saying anything for a long time. It took a long time before she sat down again.
"Sorry, guest. I look really tired and said something inexplicable." The girl said with a forced look. "Please don't take it to heart. Come again tomorrow. I can't collect your money this time."
After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the room inside. Ashu Rufate was left alone in the room and had not come back to her senses for a long time.
"It seems that this fortune teller hasn't said everything he saw." Carrie said in his mind. "She has concealed something, master, has she... seen through your true identity?"
"I don't know, but I don't feel hostility." The girl's reaction just now should be called panic.
Ashu Rufate looked at this simple house and suddenly realized a sense of incongruity. No matter how you look at it, Leya can earn two or three gold coins a day. With such a high income, this house is really simple...
"Master, I think you'd better leave." Carrie interrupted his thoughts. "Do you remember the stain on the wooden wall when you entered the village? If I'm not wrong, it's blood."
Ashrufate did not notice the stain, but building such wooden walls and arranging such sentries at the level of a village means something in itself. And he doesn't seem to have to stay here now.
Ashurufat stood up and walked out of the door. It was not too late at this time. For ordinary people, although it was not time to have supper at this time, it was already time to make supper. Some farmers could be seen coming back from the main entrance of the village.
He untied the nightmare horse from the pony sling at the entrance of the tavern, sorted out the saddle and prepared to leave. While he was doing this, the fat businessman happened to come out of the tavern. The two of them exchanged a few more greetings.
"I have seen the fortune teller Leya. I am a little surprised. Why is her parents not here? Who is that old lady?" Ashu Rufate asked casually.
"It seems to be her grandmother, or aunt or something, or an elder in any case." The fat businessman replied. "Miss Leya seems to have both parents passed away... It seems that you are leaving, don't you stay here for one night?"
"No, I have urgent matters and have to rush to travel. If I have the chance, I will treat you to a drink next time I meet."
Ashu Rufate said goodbye and left. When he rode out of the entrance of the village, several militiamen were walking into Leya's home. The person who led the lead was a man in his thirties and looked very talented. In fact, he was the village chief of this village. In fact, it was not appropriate to describe him as a general "village chief", because he was actually more than just a village chief. This village is a relatively independent Bin tribe, and he is the ruler of the tribe.
"Leya." The village chief shouted. To be honest, his attitude was quite gentle, just like the attitude of people when facing the goose that laid golden eggs. "How is the situation today?"
"I'm sorry, village chief, today I've been introducing those you..."
"What, those guys... made you waste a whole day?" The village chief muttered dissatisfied. For a whole day, at least four gold coins were recorded, but now it was wasted for a favor that I don't know if it was valuable. It was really a big mistake.
"I have already driven away those boys who don't know how high the sky is." The village chief said, "I will try my best to be careful not to let such guys come to you in the future! I remember you said that the enemy may launch an attack tonight... Please help me calculate what will happen tonight."
"My village chief, the line of destiny has been distorted due to rough changes... This violates the original intention of divination." Leya replied.
The village chief's face immediately became ugly, "This kind of thing is not something you need to consider! Just do what I say! Who do you think took you in, and who gave you food and clothing to feed you here!"
After a moment of pause, he felt that his words might have been a bit too much, so he lowered his voice a little. "Leya, for us, the original intention of divination is to change the originally bad fate. You did this very well, because of yours, our situation is very good now. The message you gave me can save many people from our village. I hope you can understand this responsibility. If the disaster in front of us cannot be avoided, then what's the use of the future if it is better?"
The girl shrank a little, but finally said it. "...Mr. Village Chief, I can see the thread of fate intertwined on you... Based on this, I guess they will launch an attack at midnight."
"As it turns out, I knew that those Ryan's kids would use this kind of trick! It doesn't matter. If you know their tactics, then there is a way to deal with them." The village chief turned around and left.
"Leya, are you hungry?" After a while, the old woman walked into the room and saw the girl lying on the bed.
"What's wrong, Leya? Are you too tired today? Or are you feeling bad by those bad guys?"
"No," Leya shook her head, "I'm not tired today, and I don't care about those...guests. They can't live much time. It's a stupid thing to be angry with the dying person."
"What's wrong with you? Is it because of the village?" The old woman sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked the girl's hair. "You have indeed inherited my blood... In fact, the line of fate is not terrible, what is terrible is human shortsightedness and foolishness."
