Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

233 Sisyphus

Unlike the owner of the Mage Tower who is busy traveling outside, the "fate changer" who is Yu Man's assistant has been living a pretty good life recently.

On a beautiful island, in a perfect wizard's tower—

She lives a comfortable and fulfilling life.

Free... and fulfilling.

After all, the "fate changer" can focus on what he likes without being interfered with by anyone.

She had at her disposal the vast magical power of the entire island, not to mention its immense abundance.

Even the working hours and projects can be decided by herself, and Yu Man can only give instructions on the general direction.

I really followed the right person.

As she was busy cultivating powerful ice elemental elves, she sensed the return of the Ice Prison Dragon early on.

The Ice Prison Dragon carried Yu Man... and another stranger.

This is a bit strange.

Because, this stranger didn't seem to possess even the slightest bit of magical power. How could such a weak mortal... actually travel with the Ice Prison Dragon? Logically speaking, he should have been frozen to death the moment he came into contact with it.

And she didn't.

The "fate changer" opened the window, leaned out to look down at the tower, and just happened to see them meet.

Yu Man was actually stepped on, and naturally admitted defeat...

She said with a smile: "Please forget what I just said. This is not Bird Lao Wu, but a traveling poet named Blackbird..."

Blackbird? What's that name?

Who on earth is she? Why would Yu Man, a level-clearer, treat her like this?

So——the "fate changer" tried to observe.

Although theocracy had not recovered much, it was still easy for her to take a quick look at the fate of mortals.

"...?!"

but--

"I...what on earth did I see...no—"

Unprecedented pain, horror beyond imagination.

An incredible dream, an irreparable regret.

There is endless sin.

The Fate Changer seemed to witness the flow of time, but the threads within it were so vast that her tiny soul couldn't even grasp a single drop of it. Her mind and body began to burn in that instant, simply because she tried to observe that unparalleled strangeness.

Just one glance and death arrived.

"——Eel, your assistant." Blackbird didn't look back, but just gave a kind reminder.

Yu Man could roughly guess what had happened, so he immediately started to give first aid: "...'Save time.'"

But I felt a strong resistance that I had never felt before.

This is even a past that transcends time and cannot be frozen.

"Time—Blackbird."

The blackbird didn't make any expression, just nodded slightly, so slightly that it was almost invisible.

But this was a permission.

Yu Man's "retaining time" no longer encountered any resistance, as if the key and lock cylinder were combined and the door was opened.

A door to old times.

Finally, Yu Man took the "fate changer" back.

She stood there, then touched herself frantically to confirm the reality of her survival.

The blackbird didn't look back, but just looked at the fawn. "I'm honored to be on this journey with you all. I'm a poet, so you can call me a blackbird."

"Oh...your adventurer profession is a poet." The deer nodded. "Then what does Blackbird do?"

"Undecided. Whatever you need me to be, I will fulfill your wishes. In this way... I will bring you the first glory of this world."

Lu, Hua and 70 looked at each other, feeling that the newcomer Yu Man brought back was very strange.

Was it because I was too immersed in the story? Or was it just my nature? She spoke in a very literary way... That's right, if she wasn't, I wouldn't have chosen a poet.

But it doesn’t matter. Xiaolu has great trust in the newcomers brought by Man.

She took the lead and began to introduce herself.

Moreover, since they were all teammates who were going to participate in offline competitions, Xiaolu felt that he should lay the groundwork in advance, so he mentioned some realistic things in his self-introduction.

Of course, after the three of them finished their sincere self-introductions, they looked at Blackbird and told her:

"We want to get to know you, too."

But the blackbird's enthusiastic response was so unique that they soon regretted it.

The blackbird's smile was slightly deep, like a forest at dusk.

"I am the keeper of an abandoned lighthouse, the gravekeeper of the past. I write poetry to commemorate the past that only I know. This is my life. If you are interested, I will tell you more."

Yu Man had a bitter face but didn't dare to speak to dissuade him.

What’s even scarier is that the deer has this look on his face that says “I don’t understand but I have to be polite.”

"Could you...could you be a little more specific? Instead of such an abstract self-introduction..."

"That—most of me—is probably Sisyphus."

Blackbird gave a very specific example and thought it was very good.

Liu Tongqi Hua looked puzzled.

The little deer knew this myth, after all, it was very famous.

70 also knew this: "You are endlessly pushing a boulder up a hill, then watching it roll back down... and then pushing it up again, over and over again?"

"Mostly that—the other part is appreciating the world's art in the intervals between pushing the stone and watching it fall. So in that sense, I'm a pretty advanced connoisseur."

"Oh... you mean you read a lot of books and watched a lot of movies?" Xiaolu pressed his temples, trying his best to understand.

At the same time, many eyes were already on Yu Man, as if asking, "What kind of monster did you bring here?"

Yu Man could only wink frantically, hoping that this group of people would stop giving Hei Li any more opportunities to talk.

But it's too late.

"My favorite story is about Frank Sobotka, who lived in an era of rust and desolation and would rather step into darkness than turn the tide. The Poles living on the docks had the same souls as those sung by Nick Barrett in his long song. In the end, they died as they should, and were destroyed as they should be. That's all."

"……Uh?"

To prevent the situation from getting worse, Yu Man rushed out: "Xiao Lu, pull her into the guild first..."

"Oh, good."

Blackbird caught on to the conversation. "Speaking of guilds, Frank Sobotka is also the leader of the dockworkers' union in the show, but... holy shit, what kind of a name is that? Is that what your guild is called? What the hell is Snake Tavern?!"

Unfortunately, this existence known as the "Three Secrets" has subconsciously accepted it.

The "Sheshe Restaurant" has been successfully registered under her name and has become an indelible stigma on her.

The poet's holiness was instantly shattered by the deer's casualness.

Seeing Hei Li's stiff face, Yu Man was very happy.

"Okay, now we have the real five of us. Let me sort it out..." Yu Man counted on his fingers, "Frost Mage, Water Mage, Berserker, Light Healer, and TBD... That's roughly the outline of this team."

The deer immediately raised his hand: "Eel, I've also started playing my secondary profession. It feels great to transform into a small animal."

"Well, only after you can transform into a beast will you have combat power. In the early stages, it's just a functional profession."

Not only Xiaolu, but the other two also seized the opportunity——

"Captain Eel, my Light Healer class is maxed out, what should I choose as my second class?"

"Uncle Eel, I'm going to make a soul weapon. Any advice?"

Great, these are all good questions.

This means that everyone is improving themselves, which means that we are more confident about the arrival of Senior Cat.

Yu Man answered them one by one and tried to sort things out as much as possible.

as well as--

"Blackbird, we currently have two backline players and only one melee player, so we'd like you to play a class that allows us to perform better... Are you listening?"

It was obvious that the name of the guild had a huge impact on her.

What was supposed to be a journey to art and victory had to go under the name of "Snake Restaurant".

This obviously does not constitute the ethereal poetry she likes.

"...I'm listening, Eel. Well, this is it."

"Then, I hope you raise the flag." Yu Man said.

Blackbird was silent for a moment, then asked, "'Flag Bearer'? Isn't that class... purely support? Don't you need more frontline players?"

Yu Man explained, "Unfortunately, 70 is here as a part-timer. He really can't take the college entrance exam. After this competition is over, a front-row player will take over... So I hope you choose this swing support position."

"...Wait, I'm also a part-time worker?"

It was obvious that Blackbird was so shocked that his speech was not fluent at all.

She stared at Yu Man and said, "I'm going to run away after I get the bonus."

"So... your hope that I can 'hold on to time' is fake?" Yu Man asked back.

"No, Eel, I am—" She didn't say it.

"Who are you? Aren't you the unknown traveling poet Blackbird? Is there some other identity I don't know about that's preventing you from traveling with us?"

"..."

Without giving her any time to retort, Yu Man called everyone over, "Come on, come on, Xiao Bing and I are coming too. Let's go to the dungeon together and get a ninth-tier dungeon first... Oh, when will I finish eating my box..."

When we heard that the next book - and that Yu Man was coming, everyone was full of anticipation.

Only blackbirds.

She watched the bustle quietly and said nothing more.

……

midnight.

Senior Cat was in a gloomy mood.

It’s not because Yu Man never came back to accompany it, nor is it because it has to be wary of the deer suddenly breaking in.

It watched the game for a whole day and finally finished watching all the finals on the day.

But it's very lost.

"...Alas, I can still lose...Alas."

Cat Senior was an ordinary spectator, and unfortunately, the team he supported was defeated in an extremely ugly way.

The "Xiankan" team, which was the favorite to win the championship, was defeated by the Southeast Asian team in the round of 3.

They met in the first match of the group stage, and "Xiankan" easily won with absolute tactical advantage.

But this activated the team's momentum and understanding, and they burst out with enough resilience to fight their way out of the losers and finally reach the final day.

Moreover, he killed the "idle-looking" team with his own hands.

Because they had suffered a humiliating defeat before, after the comeback, this Southeast Asian team tried their best to humiliate the loser through words, game style, attitude and interviews.

As the captain, Teng Ge maintained his composure.

But it's no use.
