Chapter 505: Everything is a choice of fate... That’s weird
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
Night fell, and the castle was lost in the shadow of the valley.The only lights are dancing in every corner of the castle, like a lonely soul looking for a home.The cold wind blew, and the flags and leaves in the castle rustled together, like a statement of fear of the night.
In front of the gate of the castle, there are a few bright lights scattered, and the dim lights struggle to breathe the cold air.It seemed that all efforts were being made just to light up the road in front of the gate.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and a tall man wearing a phoenix mask appeared in front of the castle.When the man approached the gate of the castle, the gate automatically opened to welcome this familiar guest.
The man's shadow twisted in the dim light, showing his struggle with bared teeth and claws.
"Lord Phoenix."
A maid patrolling at night ran into the phoenix head-on, but she did not show any surprise or vigilance, as if she saw someone who should have been in the castle.
"Vanessa, is the fire dragon in the stargazing room?"
Phoenix asked casually.
"Yes, Master Fire Dragon is still in the stargazing room. Do you need to prepare some black tea or hot soup for you?"
Vanessa looked at Phoenix's thin clothes and asked with concern.
"No, no need." Phoenix calmly refused Vanessa's help, "I'll be leaving soon."
Vanessa nodded: "Then I won't take you there either. I still have a few places to visit."
"can."
After Phoenix finished speaking, he walked towards the inside of the castle without waiting for Vanessa to leave first.
"Ok."
Facing his back, Vanessa bowed lightly, and then continued to patrol the interior of the castle with a lantern.
There is no way, various castles in the wizarding world often have strange magical effects.There are even some castles that look alive.Therefore, even if there are people living in the castle, there will often be various uncontrollable things that appear.Therefore, every castle needs someone to take care of it, not necessarily a wizard, but at least a squib.
Generally speaking, castles don't have much ill will towards the people who live in them.So this job is not dangerous.
Phoenix continued walking towards the star observation room.This castle is much smaller than Hogwarts.The figures in the paintings hanging in the corridors and halls were awakened by the footsteps of the phoenix.After seeing that it was a phoenix, everyone closed their eyes with peace of mind.
Finally, after walking through the spiral staircase, a door appeared in front of Phoenix.
There was a sign on the door that said 'Do Not Disturb'.
Phoenix opened the door without thinking.
"You came?"
A somewhat ethereal voice came from inside.
"Well, I came to see you for something."
Phoenix said as he looked at the guy in the room who was sitting in front of the stargazing lens, wearing a fire dragon mask and unable to see his true expression.
"what's up?"
Fire Dragon has never been one to like nonsense, so he decisively asked Phoenix about the serious matter.
"You carried out the assassination attempt on Luke Gaunt?"
Phoenix walked quickly to the fire dragon, holding the table with both hands, watching the fire dragon playing with the set of stargazing lenses that were obviously valuable and had a long history.After hearing Phoenix's question, Fire Dragon's hand paused.
"I did not order the assassination. This should be the arrangement of the rabbit. I gave him the task of dealing with Luke Gunter. After all, the grizzly bear is busy with his own affairs now. The horse seems to have turned to the saints. . You may have to distance yourself from him for the time being."
The content of what Fire Dragon said and his frank attitude made Phoenix pause for a moment.
"Then tell me, is there anyone in our organization who has turned to Luke Gunter?"
Phoenix's voice was a little cold.
When the fire dragon heard this, he did not speak immediately. Instead, after being silent for a while, he laughed, then raised his head and looked at Phoenix and said, "Of course. Isn't it you? Phoenix?"
Phoenix's heart suddenly trembled. Although he had made similar speculations for a long time, they were still just guesses after all.The wand in his hand stood up, and he looked around him vigilantly, sensing the room and its surrounding environment.
"I never thought you were so timid before." Fire Dragon looked at Phoenix's series of actions, shook his head, and then continued to play with the stargazing lens. His state was very serious, far more serious than when facing the traitor Phoenix.
Under the mask, Phoenix's expression was full of doubts. He looked at the calm Fire Dragon and said with some confusion: "Are there no other arrangements around?"
"You came suddenly, and I didn't prepare for anyone to ambush you. Of course, you know me well enough. I clearly withdrew from Dusk Manor. But you didn't go to Dusk Manor at all, but came directly to Youye Castle to find me. "
When he said this, Phoenix didn't even hear much frustration in the fire dragon's voice. It was probably still calm.
"You must have known for a while. Why didn't you deal with me?"
Phoenix pulled up a chair and sat down on it, with a look of confusion on his face.However, he never let go of his hand holding the wand, and his eyes glanced at the door and window from time to time, as if he was preparing to escape.
"It's not necessary. I never expected you to do anything for me. In other words, it's already too much, and I don't care anymore."
Fire Dragon's tone still didn't change at all, but Phoenix, who was familiar with him, still heard a hint of desolation in his words.
"Seriously, Phoenix, you are still young now. If you get older and experience enough, you will think that these things are just trivial matters."
It really feels out of place to say such old-fashioned words in a youthful voice.
However, Phoenix did not respond, but continued to stare at the fire dragon, seeming to force him to continue talking.
"I remember that you never believed that I could make predictions before, right? You said that I can make judgments that are close to predictions because I have enough information and have strong information analysis capabilities. Such ability It’s like a person’s intuition, very unreasonable.”
"And it doesn't matter if the analysis is wrong. After all, no matter how powerful a prophet is, he dare not say that every prediction he makes is true and will come true. So it doesn't matter if he is wrong. This is just a normal phenomenon. "
"What you said is partially correct. My judgments in many cases are indeed based on information and then make 'predictions'. However, the source of this ability is not my innate intuition, but the long years of and the gifts that life brings. I have seen what you have seen. There is nothing new under the sun. In the final analysis, the methods used by the Ministry of Magic today are the same as those decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years ago. There is not much difference. But..."
The fire dragon raised his head again and looked at Phoenix: "This does not mean that I really cannot predict. I am indeed a prophet. Many things are indeed glimpsed from the corner of the future."
Phoenix remained silent this time.But this time it wasn't because he wanted to remain silent.Instead, I was stunned by Fire Dragon's rather informative words...
"Are you talking nonsense?"
Phoenix looked at the fire dragon with a confused tone.
The pair of ruby eyes on the fire dragon mask stared at the phoenix mask, seeming to be able to see through the mask and see the expression of the person under the mask.After a moment, the fire dragon shook his head and said, "Then just think I'm talking nonsense."
There are legends of immortality in the wizarding world, but both Phoenix and other well-informed people know that Nico Flamel's immortal life is not considered happy, it can even be said to be a bit sad.
His current physical condition has reached a fragile level. As long as there is some relatively strong stimulation from the outside world, his body may not be able to support it.
But Fire Dragon, his body, gives people the feeling of being young from the inside out.Therefore, the previous paragraph was more like bragging.
"I don't have any need to follow you. Forget it, let's get back to the topic."
The fire dragon looked at Phoenix and said: "Since you have made your choice, let's part ways. Do you think Luke Gunter can bring a better future to this world? Or maybe you just simply agree with it. Luke Gunter’s philosophy has nothing to do with it.”
"The reason why you came here this time is that after Rabbit sent people to attack Luke Gunter, he sent you to recover the situation. To be honest, it is quite unwise. After all, if you continue to stay as an undercover agent, you may be able to obtain More information. After all, your frontal combat effectiveness is indeed No. 1 in our organization. We have to rely on you for many things."
"But now that I have fallen out, I can't rely on you anymore."
"You can't complete the task given to you by Luke Gunter. Of course I didn't arrange anyone else in this observation room. But you will never hurt me. So, leave. If you want to explain, then Just go find the rabbit yourself."
Fire Dragon's tone was very calm, and there was no fluctuation when he sold the rabbit.It seems like just asking a stranger to seek revenge on another stranger.
But Phoenix knew that Rabbit was the person that Fire Dragon relied on the most besides him.He also has a close relationship with Rabbit, who seems to be his favorite collaborator.But now it seems that these are all illusory.The fire dragon didn't care about any of them.
"If you don't try...how will I know?" Phoenix simply raised his wand, "Mr. Gunter's order is for me to teach the leader of the attackers a lesson. No matter what, you are the leader of the rabbits. "
"I'm just his partner. But since you insist, let's give it a try."
The fire dragon just raised his head and glanced at Phoenix, and then stopped talking.He didn't move, as if he was waiting for Phoenix to make a move and then teach him a profound lesson.
Phoenix held up his wand and maintained this action for a long time, then silently shook his head.
"I don't know if you are really so confident. I will deal with the rabbit. Regardless of whether what you just said is true or false, I will tell Mr. Gunter everything today."
He put away his wand, his tone full of helplessness.
We have been friends for so many years, but we still can’t do it after all.Forget it, if you get scolded by your new boss, just scold him.Just put it on and that’s it.
And it’s not like he really didn’t tell Luke. Isn’t he still going to fight the rabbit?It's hard to kill the rabbit, but it's easy to teach the rabbit a lesson and make him feel the pressure Luke once felt.
After all, although both sides have actually reached the level of assassination, they both know that assassination cannot really defeat the other side. Such a method, the sound is a declaration of war and a statement of attitude.
But Phoenix will still try its best.
"Before you go, I also have a question to ask you."
The fire dragon's voice sounded behind Phoenix.
"Tell me and I will answer you if I can."
Phoenix turned around again, looked at the fire dragon mask and said.
The Fire Dragon asked with some confusion: "Why did you join Luke Gunter's side? To be honest, I can't see the detailed plan about Luke Gunter. Or in other words, every picture I saw , may turn into a wrong picture at the next moment. Luke Gunter is a very strange person. The prophecy is almost invalid for him. On the contrary, the inference is more accurate."
"I was curious about him. And you being on his side made me even more curious."
Facing this question raised by his old friend, Fenghuang was silent again and again, and finally sighed: "I said I don't know, do you believe it?"
The atmosphere in the stargazing room was stagnant, and both Phoenix and Fire Dragon could feel the helplessness and embarrassment permeating the air.
"Your reasons for betraying me don't seem to be sufficient, but I believe you must have your own reasons."
The fire dragon nodded and said so.
Hearing such a reasonable response, Phoenix couldn't help scratching his head, and then said: "If I insist on saying it, it is the revelation of fate, although I have never understood this kind of thing."
After hearing this answer, the fire dragon was thoughtful.
After a moment, he waved his hand to Phoenix and said, "Okay, I've finished asking my questions. You can leave. There are no other dangers on the road, so please feel free to leave. I'll give you the mask as a souvenir."
Phoenix didn't expect that he was still thinking about the mask.He reached out and touched the mask on his face.To be honest, after wearing it for such a long time, I have become accustomed to wearing it.Now I have to throw this thing away completely, which is really a bit reluctant to bear.
"Thank you for your generosity then."
After all, Phoenix didn't dwell too much, waved his hand and left.
The fire dragon looked at his leaving figure. After a moment of silence, he said to himself: "Finally, has everyone taken action? It seems like chaos is really going to happen."
"And...Luke Gunter...the people around you gathered around you because of fate. But you yourself became the abandoned son of fate."
"Interesting, very interesting."
In front of the gate of the castle, there are a few bright lights scattered, and the dim lights struggle to breathe the cold air.It seemed that all efforts were being made just to light up the road in front of the gate.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and a tall man wearing a phoenix mask appeared in front of the castle.When the man approached the gate of the castle, the gate automatically opened to welcome this familiar guest.
