Lin Qiu had no idea what she was thinking, but he never thought he was better than Mona, since he knew he wasn't a prophet at all, but rather a high-level observer.
They're not even on the same track, so what's the point of them being so strong?
However, Lin Qiu welcomes Mona's challenge and learning.
Mona is competitive in every way, so after losing, she will agree to one of Lin Qiu's requests.
These are free young female laborers, might as well use them.
If anyone else knew that Lin Qiu had Mona cook, massage, and grind for him, they would think it was a waste!
Why don't you ask her to do a fortune telling for you? She's very accurate!
Oh right, she doesn't know how, that's alright then, no wonder she was used as a 'maid'.
Mona also quite liked being treated like a maid, not because she enjoyed being abused, well...
Lin Qiu provides room and board, and even lets her "learn from others," so the money saved can be used to buy more books and equipment—it's a great deal!
The prophecy books I have now were all given away for free by Lin Qiu. Free things are always good, and it makes me feel much better when reading the stories.
In the story, Mona is talking to herself and complaining about being asked to tell fortunes.
[Mona: "People, knowing I can tell fortunes, have been asking me all sorts of questions."]
When will my missing son return?
Does that person truly love me?
"Can I recover?"
All sorts of problems—family, lovers, oneself—all kinds of issues.
At the time, Mona was still relatively inexperienced in society, so she told them the truth and the result.
Most people treat astrology as a 'placebo', hoping to get the answers they want.
Unfortunately, astrology is not a placebo, and most people cannot accept negative results.
Unfortunately, confident people don't ask questions, and those who do know in their hearts that the outcome will mostly be pessimistic. Sure enough, very few people will have a good result.
Because if he could find his missing son, he should be talking to the police.
If one could feel love, why would they ask if they are loved?
If doctors couldn't cure him, why did he ask an astrologer instead of a doctor?
I think this divination, which doesn't lie, is destined to fail!
So Mona's words hurt the people who asked, and they hurt Mona in return.
"Astrology is a hoax!"
In the illustration, the wall in front of Mona shrinks, leaving a smaller gap.
"Stop joking!"
The walls continued to shrink, the lights dimmed, and the sense of oppression intensified.
"I want to be alone for a while. Could you please leave right away?"
The gap narrowed to just enough for one person to pass through, and even the wall overhead seemed to press down. The lights were dim, with only the starlight providing illumination.
In reality, Mona remained silent and expressionless as she read.
"Their disappointed expressions became the sharp blades aimed at me."
In the story, Mona walks out of the crevice, and in front of her is a sheer cliff. She leans over and jumps off.
"I guessed it, but I'm still very sad...like falling into an abyss."
This statement reflects Mona's current mood; she guessed what it meant, but she was still very sad.
The difference is that she no longer feels like she's falling into an abyss; she has come to terms with it and has friends now.
If she falls into the abyss, many people will be willing to pull her up.
Mona turned her gaze to Lin Qiu, Fischl and the others.
Fischl was also looking at her, and hurriedly looked away.
Looking down at the illustration again, it was an unknown space where rumors and malicious words turned into 'stars' that attacked Mona.
Xin Yan said gently, "Silence speaks louder than words. Do you need a hug?"
She was so warm-hearted that Mona blushed. She's the type who doesn't know how to respond when she's being cared for or comforted.
The good news is that she no longer needs comforting. Whether in the story or in reality, Mona has moved on from that period and will no longer be affected by it.
Simply put, she's numb now, and she doesn't care what ordinary people say.
Don't underestimate this numbness; many astrologers have failed to achieve it and eventually gave up on astrology.
The pressure of public opinion is terrifying; it can keep people in a state of anxiety for a long time, and not everyone can withstand it.
Mona: "But I'm a genius, so I can definitely do things that others can't."
Mona's smile in the illustration is very confident. It just goes to show that people who strive to face life and these setbacks are remarkable in themselves!
Paimon and the Traveler both thought so, so they praised Mona.
Mona loves to hear: "Very good, very good, praise me more!"
It seems Mona is the type who enjoys being touched on the chin and praised.
Unfortunately, we need to explore this secret realm further before praising it, so let's save the praise for later.
[Mona: "Once we resolve the issues in this area, I'll give you all a chance to praise me to your heart's content."]
In the illustration, Mona turns her head away haughtily, but secretly opens her eyes a little to peek at everyone before quickly looking away again.
The reader laughed: Okay, thank you for being so understanding. I'll praise you a lot from now on.
She really wants to be praised! She's so cute!
Question Arnold, understand Arnold, become Arnold, surpass Arnold!
Mona, what kind of drug did you give me?! How could you make me think of you every single second of every 24 hours?!
Mona blushed slightly, this time because she was shy.
There's nothing wrong with asking for praise in a story, especially since it's with good friends.
But now? Lin Qiu has written this story and shown it to the whole world!
Now the whole world knows that Mona is a proud and arrogant girl who loves to be praised!
I'll never get married, sob sob.
Mona was actually just a little shy. Even if the whole world could hear her almost coquettish words, she would still feel fine.
She only cares about the reactions of those around her; she's long been used to the reactions of others.
I still blushed a little, after all, it felt like part of my chat history with my best friend had been made public.
However, Mona was more interested in the illustrations than the starry sky in them; they were absolutely stunning.
There weren't many stars in the sky, which was completely different from the starry sky we usually see.
The sky was filled with glowing cyclones, seemingly formed by the convergence of stars.
Indeed, just like the starry night in Van Gogh's paintings, the Teyvats had rarely seen such beauty, and some who loved this kind of scenery were instantly immersed in it.
Fortunately, Lin Qiu preserved these scenes in his paintings; otherwise, it would have been such a pity.
After admiring the scene for a while, the group went inside and left the illusion, returning to the island. The island had changed, and a new pool was now nearby.
Reader: Fischl, look at others! You have to ask everyone to find your books, while Mona's pool is delivered right to your doorstep.
Look how sensible he is!
Chapter 456 No need to worry
Mona likes to be praised, but she can slow down the praise because she can't get into this pool!
A spot was reflected in the pool, seemingly hinting that everyone should go there.
Reader: Grass (an element)! You spoke too soon!
You two must be best friends, since you both need to find the same new entry point.
Looking for something, that's Fischl's comfort zone.
[Fischl proudly put her hands on her hips: "It's hoped that I, the princess, will lead everyone there."]
Fischl is no slouch when it comes to finding things; she's incredibly skilled at reconnaissance, and she can quickly spot reflections in pools like pools.
No, to be precise, Oz will find it.
Oz flies in the sky to scout, and Fischl can see Oz's field of vision, so she can control Oz to fly and scout.
As for Fischl? She won't move; she just needs to strike a silly pose in place.
Fischl is like that, but Oz has many more things to consider.
There was such a genius adventurer, oh, I'm talking about Fischl, not Oz.
Although Oz found the item, the credit should go to Princess Fischl.
After all, without her, there would be no Oz. The princess's kindness can never be repaid!
Led by Fischl, the group quickly found the fragments needed to enter the illusion.
Standing before the armillary sphere once more, it was still as imposing as ever. I went straight in!
[Mona's voice: "Astrology reveals the truth completely. But... not everyone is willing to accept their own destiny."]
"It's okay, hitting walls is part of the astrological training. I need to become stronger to learn how to persuade them."
So that's how it is. One aspect of astrological training also includes practicing 'eloquence'?
The fools seemed to vaguely understand why Lin Qiu was so eloquent.
Damn, so you prophets have to take eloquence as a required course?
Eloquence, escape skills, sincerity—could you possibly be members of the Han imperial family?
In the story, Mona is still talking to herself. She says that she met an adventurer who shared some fruit with her, and she told his fortune.
The outcome was not good; if the adventurer continued, he would die within two years. Mona advised him to give up, and she began to try to persuade him.
The adventurer remained silent, neither questioning the authenticity of Mona's astrology nor becoming angry.
Adventurer: "Even so... I will keep going. Adventurers can't be afraid of difficulties."
The adventurer picked up his backpack and set off towards the summit.
Readers have noticed that Lin Qiu's prophecies seem to have never included any 'incompetent' adventurers.
Even those who are "happy to enemies and sad to friends" in terms of combat strength have never backed down when it comes to the desire for adventure.
[Mona: "This matter is always on my mind, I can't erase it. Why is that?"]
Lin Qiu's stories feature many adventurers, including Stanley, Leonard, Zhiqiong, and Fischl, none of whom have ever disgraced the adventurer profession.
They are always the same, loving adventure, unafraid of hardship, and their faces are always full of hope.
For many ordinary and numb readers, it was initially incomprehensible why these people always had a 'light in their eyes'.
Wouldn't it be better to live an ordinary life? Why walk on the edge of danger, venture into unknown lands, and what if you die?
I can't understand it. What could be more important than life?
These were my thoughts before reading the prophecy book. But after the story of Thor, everyone's thoughts changed.
Some things you just have to do! Because they're things you enjoy!
The danger is there, and no one has been able to overcome it for decades or even centuries, so why can't it be me?
Once the reader understands, all four stories are actually about the same thing.
That is: Don't care about other people's opinions and words, do what you like! Live the life you love!
Mona in the story is just like that; she walks the path of life she loves, climbing step by step to reach the top.
