Chosen Son

It is said that it is a step to talk, but this step is a thousand miles away. When Gu Fan followed the witch, he took Lan Nuo along with him, so as not to have to wait until later when he was secretly murdered in the grove. In the bridge section, the young guard chief was very happy to watch this wonderful gossip, and followed them happily.The woman turned around and took a look at Lan Nuo, her expression was a little unsightly, but seeing Gu Fan still looking at her with innocent eyes, she didn't say anything in the end, just shook her sleeves.

The three of them came to an empty restaurant one after the other, and sat down after the waiters had served some snacks and the drinks had dispersed in an orderly manner.

What the woman said just now was obviously just a stopgap measure in an emergency. Although her expression was still cold at the moment, there was no major change, but the nerves that had been tense all the time were obviously relaxed a lot.She glanced at the table, and without rushing to speak, she got up and took the teapot, and poured a cup of hot tea for each of the three: "Mr. Gu, try Sirnuo's tea, it has a different flavor than what we used to drink."

This sentence, she still uses Chinese, but it sounds a little bit jerky, presumably because she has stayed on this island for a long time and has not used it again.

"Thank you." Knowing that she wanted to keep it a secret, Gu Fan also changed to Chinese fluently, and just glanced at Lan Nuo apologetically.

This idiot was looking at them ignorantly, with question marks on his forehead. The more Gu Fan looked at his expression, the more he felt familiar. It was only later that he remembered that most of the classmates in his class were like this when he watched speech videos without subtitles in English class in his previous life. The dazed look was very real and vivid.

Sure enough, the same world, the same language barrier that cannot be overcome.

He coughed slightly and said, "Haven't you asked your lord's name?"

"It's just a nobody." Seeing that Gu Fan wasn't as aggressive as before, the woman's expression softened a bit, and she said, "My surname is Xu, and my Chinese name is Xu Ran, but I've simplified it here and call it Ran."

"Miss Xu." Gu Fan nodded, "After all, we are also from the same hometown, so can you tell me why you appeared here, and why did you become a witch in Sirno?"

"It happened suddenly." The woman paused, "Mr. I don't know, have you heard of the system?"

For a moment, the whole room was silent, only the slight gurgling of tea leaves in the boiling water.

The corner of Gu Fan's mouth twitched, and suddenly felt that this world was a little mysterious.

The colleague he said in front of the king was completely fabricated. Hey, this... is it really a colleague?What should I do next, pretending that I don't understand anything and continue discussing Sirno's tea with her, or go over to shake hands with a smile on my face and ask for warmth, and you are also doing the task?Speaking of which, why do I feel that the system on the opposite side is more advanced than my own, and it also has a prophecy function? This is not fair. Hey...

Lan Nuo poked him just in time when countless bullet screens passed through his heart and he was about to collapse.

Although he couldn't understand the conversation between them, he still listened carefully, trying to find a few syllables that he could understand, and whispered anxiously to Gu Fan: "If you lose, you don't lose." Ah, Gu Fan, what's the matter with your face that sees through life and death, did you make a big move on the other side?"

Gu Fan came back to his senses, felt the signals in his brain, and found that there were no waves, so he took a deep breath and said, "I've heard of it."

The woman probably expected his answer, and smiled with satisfaction: "Mr. is a straightforward person. Actually, as soon as I heard that Mr. is also from the sea, I probably understood it. I have investigated in the past few years. Although the outside of this island It is the sea, and crossing the sea may lead to land, but according to historical records, almost all people who went to sea returned without success, so I speculate that this island is the main body of this world, and this world is just one of thousands of time and space. One. Then we, the so-called people who came from the sea, probably came to this world through the system."

Dare to feel that she already knew the truth and came to test him on purpose.

"So, Ms. Xu also came here because of a mission." Gu Fan followed her words and concluded, "Then what is the so-called prophecy?"

Speaking of this, the woman's eyes fluttered a little unnaturally, but soon, she retracted her gaze in the void, lowered her eyelashes, and said slowly: "Mr. Gu, if a weak woman wants to be in a To survive in a strange country, you need something you can rely on to protect yourself, and the function of prophecy and the identity of a witch are what I rely on."

"So, your predictions are all false, including the death of the queen and the demise of Sirnuo?" Gu Fan keenly heard her implication, and asked.

"Probably." The woman was silent for a while, "The queen's death is because I just overheard the secret conversation of two ministers in the court. They had long planned to kill the queen, so I took the opportunity to make a prophecy."

Speaking of this, she sighed softly: "This matter has been on my mind for a long time, and it is still a nightmare every night, but at that time I was just a weak woman with no power to fight against power. She even used my friendship with Her Highness the Princess to remind the queen to be safe, she agreed to me very gently and rewarded me with many things, but in the end..."

"I even thought that even if I was kicked out of this country as a liar, I hoped that my prophecy would turn out to be false and that the queen would be able to live well."

She seemed to be evoked by some sad memory, her lips trembled slightly, Gu Fan took a deep breath, and reflexively looked back at Lan Nuo, and only then remembered this question after receiving his questioning look. The child couldn't understand their conversation, so he let out a little bit of the depression that had just gathered in his heart.

Seeing that the woman wanted to talk again, he interrupted her gently: "Okay, Miss Xu. I have a question about expressing your feelings. You can continue in front of the Queen's tomb later. I have one last question to ask." , what is going on with the prophecy of Sirno's destruction?"

There were already tears in the woman's eyes, she was interrupted unexpectedly, and she gave him a blank look, as if she didn't understand why the person in front of her seemed so hard-hearted, but Gu Fan had already asked, and she didn't either. After further research on the method, he lightly lifted his wrist, took a sip from the teacup, calmed down, and said, "Sirno will not be destroyed, this is a lie."

Gu Fan gave a soft "hmm": "A lie you made up, I guessed this from the beginning. Just, why?"

"Because of my mission." The woman said, "These three things are my initial mission on this island. I want to use this prophecy to help me find these three things with the power of the Srno people." Complete the mission so I can get out of here."

Gu Fan looked at her, and for a moment didn't understand why she could take such selfish things for granted.

"Then let me sort it out. Your prophecy as the queen is to establish your image as a witch and win the trust of the people of Srno, and your prophecy of the destruction of Srno is based on this trust. Drive everyone on this island to complete your mission for you?"

"Forget it." The woman bit her lip, "I know this sounds immoral, but the queen will die, and Sirno will not be destroyed. All that I have done, It's all within the laws of development of this world, and it doesn't break the rules."

She seemed to have noticed the change in Gu Fan's mood, she raised her head and glanced at him, now she threw away the cold mask she had always maintained, this glance was quite pitiful.

Gu Fan really wanted to suggest that she go to any opera performance class to learn how to change faces after she goes back.

He stood up, dragged Lan Nuo up together, and said politely: "Okay, I'm really glad to meet Miss Xu in a foreign land tonight, but it's already a bit late, His Highness Lan Nuo and I will go back first. "

The woman stood up with them, looked into Gu Fan's eyes and said: "Mr. Gu knows the whole story now, but will he continue to obstruct me? You know, I didn't do any real harm to Sir Nuo. Everyone took The same purpose came here, so don't embarrass each other."

Gu Fan glanced at her and smiled: "Of course."

"No, I'm going to throw up."

In the quiet garden, Lan Nuo sat on the swing and swayed aimlessly while watching Gu Fan lay on the long stone bench and said this sentence for the one hundred and eighth time with a blank face, feeling sympathetic in his heart. He gloated again: "Although I can't understand what you guys are talking about, I feel like we had a good chat. Every time I saw her before, she wrapped herself up like an ice sculpture, and she looked very tall. It's cold, but now I'm opening my heart to you, it almost rains like pear blossoms."

Gu Fan thought to himself, if I repeat to you everything she said about your sister, you might react more than I do.

Of course he couldn’t say this, so he could only hold it back. He looked at the stars expressionlessly, and said the words that surged in his heart for the [-]th time: “I’m going to vomit. I wish she was the same as before. Gao Leng, this can at least cover up the fragrant white lotus breath in her heart."

Lan Nuo jumped off the swing and put the hat on his head: "What are you talking about?"

Gu Fan lifted the hat, threw it into his arms, and lazily said: "The prophecy is false, Sirno will not be destroyed, and those three things are true."

"What?" Lan Nuo's eyes widened, and then he pulled his legs angrily and wanted to go out, "I'm going to tell His Majesty."

"You go, it's all true if you go." Gu Fan changed his posture and lay down, and added by the way, "You may still anger the witch, and she will make a prophecy later, and you will be finished."

"What kind of witch is she?" Lan Nuo snorted from his nostrils, and said somewhat sleepily, "Then what do you think?"

"Tomorrow I will bid farewell to His Majesty." Gu Fan thought for a while and said, "Stay here, don't go anywhere, and don't meet her head-on, just do as usual."

"Farewell?" Lan Nuo jumped up, "Where are you going?"

"Go find that strange pet in the ice cave." Gu Fan smiled slyly.

After all, you are a colleague, so you have to help out, don't you?
