Chapter 516 Request

The next day.

Waking up from the soft big bed in the tower, Lachesis looked at the gorgeous relief on the ceiling.

The spirit was rarely relaxed, and the goddess seemed to be in another world for a moment.

Not too long has passed since the fainting, but for Lachesis, this period of time is extremely long.

When the backlash of fate gradually falls on her, as the night comes, the negative power of the world rises, and those chaotic destinies will turn into terrible nightmares entangled in the goddess's dreams.

Lachesis doesn't remember what she dreamed of, but every time she wakes up, her whole body is completely soaked in sweat.

Although she knew that Atropos had borne the punishment of fate for them, it was not until this moment that she knew that the price was so heavy.

Just a little bit of the edge was stained, which made her sleepless all night.

Compared with what Atropos had to bear, this is just a drop in the bucket.

"Huh..."

"... Fortunately, fortunately I found Hermes..."

With a sigh, Lachesis simply dressed up and then pushed the door and walked out.

Seriously speaking, before today, the goddess of fate had not thought that Hermes would be so "useful".

But now, she has reacquainted him

Hermes is a human spellcaster in this world, but Lachesis knows that in the original trajectory of the world, he should be a true god born immortal.

As the son of the king of gods and the messenger who replaced Zephyrus to convey orders to Zeus, this young god who is in charge of [commerce], [theft], [travel], [animal husbandry], [eloquence] and [competition] at the same time has a very important position in the world.

He should have left many legends, and it would not change for thousands of years. However, under the disordered trajectory of fate, Hermes did not even have the opportunity to be born.

The loss of a true god is a major event that is enough to deal a heavy blow to fate, and the series of effects caused by the trauma in turn have further aggravated this disturbance.

Just like the first domino that falls, if you fail to pick it up in time, then the further you go, the greater the cost of saving it will be.

So you can imagine how happy Lachesis was when she accidentally discovered that Hermes was born again.

Even if this ‘Hermes’ is a human being rather than a god, the goddess of fate can find a way to calm many problems.

With this in mind, and in order to explore the secret of the fate of the star god, Lachesis met him for the first time, and everything changed here.

Although she didn’t know why, Lachesis had never suffered the real backlash of fate before.

But when the goddess saw Hermes for the first time, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness and comfort.

It was like seeing light in the dark, seeing water in the desert, seeing a bunch of bonfires in the cold winter, and getting a bite of food when hungry.

From the inside to the outside, everything told Lachesis that the existence in front of her was important to her.

It’s unclear, but this is reality.

In desperation, Lachesis chose to make Hermes her first human friend.

She tried to use time to find the secret... But when Lachesis saw him again yesterday, she finally understood the reason for this feeling.

Since Atropos disappeared, all the backlashes imposed on her, all the pain that came out of nowhere, and all the chaotic fate that troubled her, all these things that she instinctively rejected disappeared in front of Hermes.

It was like seeing the truth that did not exist. As long as she stayed around him, the scene in Lachesis's dream could be realized-

Everything follows the destined trajectory, and all the rules have been determined long ago.

Whether it is gods or mortals, there is no existence beyond order.

And the backlash she faced naturally had no foundation for existence.

"Maybe this is the world's self-salvation... Although it is not very reasonable, this is the only explanation."

She shook her head gently and did not delve too deeply into the reasons. After all, fate is unpredictable, and the result is also good.

Instead of exploring this problem that even Hermes himself may not know, Lachesis hopes to solve the current dilemma as soon as possible.

Find the culprit and rescue her sister.

At this point, as long as there is Hermes, Lachesis feels that it should not be difficult to do it.

...

"Ahem..."

"So... that's it, Mr. Hermes."

Meeting the owner of the tower again, after a few casual chats, Lachesis slowly talked about the purpose of her trip, suppressing her inner closeness.

"Not long ago, my eldest sister traveled around the continent. She used her eyes to see the future and guide the mortals who went astray to return to the right path."

"Whether it is for them personally or for the whole world, this behavior is an indisputable good deed."

"However, in a corner of the Aigario Mountains, someone cruelly hurt her."

The voice was clear and tactful. Although according to the rules, the revelation from fate cannot be passed on to others.

But as Lachesis guessed, this fixed iron rule failed again when facing Hermes.

Slowly telling what she saw from the elder wand, the goddess looked earnest.

On the other side, Hermes could only agree with her.

"Ms. Lachesis, I deeply sympathize with your sisters' experience."

With a regretful expression on his face, Hermes immediately changed the subject.

"It's just a pity that as an ordinary spell caster, although I have made some achievements in the human world, I really don't dare to rashly interfere with unpredictable fate."

"From ancient times to the present, whether they are immortal gods or famous heroes, there have been countless beings who have tried to know the future and then change it according to their own will."

"But even if the years turn around and the sea turns into mulberry fields, they have never succeeded..."

"——But you are different!"

After blurting out, Laxis's body inadvertently leaned forward slightly.

But the next moment, the goddess realized that her reaction seemed to be too intense.

It was not her fault. Under the sense of closeness that came from nowhere, Lachesis instinctively lowered her guard against Hermes.

However, when this scene fell into the eyes of the other party, it immediately aroused the great alchemist's vigilance.

"It's different, what's different about it?"

Speaking at the right moment, Hermes asked as if curious.

"As far as I know, there seems to be no exception in the face of fate."

"Well……"

Hesitating slightly, Lachesis didn't know how to explain herself.

But looking at Hermes' smile, she still gave up deceiving him.

"That's not the case. I just... I mean, Mr. Hermes, maybe you are the one favored by fate."

"In my eyes, you are the only one - in this world, you are the only one who can help me."

"..."

The smile remained the same, but only Hermes himself knew that the smile on his face could hardly be maintained.

Hearing Lachesis's faint 'threat', Hermes felt a chill in his heart.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

OK, very good.

Although a long time had passed, he still remembered the first time he and the other party met. This goddess who called herself the 'Northern Prophet' came here because of his experiment on the Star God.

Although this was an accident, Hermes actually thought about the possibility of his identity being discovered by the gods in the real world.

But the subsequent development of things made him change his inherent understanding of the goddess of fate.

The first is the other party's so-called purpose - Lachesis seems to be here for the Star God.

But when the two of them met by chance, the other party only pretended to be concerned about his purpose of collecting meteorites, and then began to inquire about his origins.

What's the meaning?

What else could this mean.

I am just a person who has never experienced anything in this world, so there is nothing worthy of the gods' attention.

The only possibility is that Laxis noticed her identity as a 'traveler'.

And then, the other party's series of behaviors proved this point.

First, he turned a deaf ear to his collection of meteorites, and even expressed his willingness to support his actions.

Following that, she even hoped to be friends with Hermes.

Asking himself, Hermes felt that he was in a different place. If he were a god, he would never spend too much energy on an ordinary mortal wizard, unless the other person had something he needed.

In this way, the truth becomes clear.

Lachesis discovered something was wrong with her, but for some purpose, she did not spread the matter, but did not reveal it.

And what he wanted in the end was probably to trick others into blocking the knife for her when she was in need like today.

Ha, just kidding.

‘Favored by fate’ and ‘unique’, I would only believe these nonsense unless I was crazy.

Regardless of the literal meaning, Hermes felt that he understood the other party's implication.

‘Being favored by fate’ – Only by listening to the words of the goddess of fate can you have a good ending.

'Unique' - I know the secret you hide, you are the only 'traveler' from the illusory world.

‘Only you can help me in this world’ – Only if I keep your secret can you continue to live in this world. Of course, the price is that you have to do things for me.

Intimidation and inducement, both soft and hard.

Even compared to the straightforwardness of other gods, Lachesis also put on a weak look of sincere request. No one could find problems and tried her best to appease the fragile hearts of others.

Hermes asked himself, with the opponent's method, if it had been anyone else, he would have sighed and been used by Lachesis.

I never expected that the goddess of fate would be so scheming - indeed, the illusory world is the illusory world.

Cronus, the second-generation god-king in this world, could suppress the Earth Mother with one hand, but Lachesis was not at all what he thought.

Compared to the real world, the gap between the two is simply incalculable.

"call--"

Breathing out a sigh of relief, Hermes looked at Lachesis' expectant eyes mixed with a hint of intimacy, and Hermes couldn't help but secretly thought, "Good acting skills."

But here comes the question, no matter what, will he agree to the other party now?

"I really didn't expect that I would be so important in your eyes, madam."

Shaking his head and smiling, meeting Lachesis' eyes, Hermes promised firmly:

"But although I don't know what I have that can attract your attention, madam, now that the matter has come to this, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse."

"Please tell me what you need me to do."

"As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

"Really? That's great!"

With a happy look on her face, Lachesis didn't know whether she was happy for her sister's rescue or for something else.

On the other side of the goddess, Hermes reaffirmed.

"Of course it's true."

"As you can see--"

"I, Hermes, never lie, and I always keep my word."

The great alchemist spoke with a serious expression, each word with a sincere tone.

Lachesis... I don't want to do this either.

But there's no way, you forced me to do this.

Compared with facing the true fate that Lachesis herself was extremely afraid of, and even had to find a scapegoat, solving the problem of a goddess who represented the fate was already the best and simplest result.
