Chapter 74 - 74 Surprised
74 Surprised
Fang Ping listened to her murmur and was a little surprised. Did she really see something?
After a while, she sat up again.
Fang Ping looked at her hands. They were clean and did not have any bloodstains. She should not have gone blind from spying on the will of the heavens.
“Do you still want to know your fate?”
“I won’t look. You do it.”
She moved the crystal ball aside and returned her hand to her cloak. She took out a small stack of cards and placed them on the table.
“Take one.”
Fang Ping took out a card and flipped it open. The card face was quite beautiful.
There were two girls on the card. They had long ears and stood on both sides. The one on the left was wearing a platinum dress and had golden hair. The one on the right was wearing a black dress and black hair.
The two girls stood symmetrically facing each other.
“This isn’t Gemini, is it?”
“The Gemini Guardian Planet, she is your Guardian Planet.”
Fang Ping placed the card on the table. This was really interesting.
On one hand, there were constellations in this world, and Fang Ping’s previous constellation happened to be Gemini.
“What happened next?”
She moved the horoscope aside, took out another stack of cards, and put them on the table.
“Take three.”
It seemed that it was really tarot cards this time.
Fang Ping did not mess it up. He picked three cards from the top and placed them on the table one by one.
“Done.”
She opened the first one. It was a black skeleton riding a black horse and holding a huge sickle.
“Death… your past is already dead.”
This kind of thing was ambiguous anyway. You could explain it however you wanted.
Then, she flipped to the second page. It was an upside-down orc with two cat ears.
“Hangman, you’re very conflicted now. What you think is the exact opposite of what you do.”
“What are you talking about? Is that what the Hanged Man means? Have you ever learned tarot cards and tried to force an explanation?”
She did not respond to Fang Ping’s words and continued to flip open the third card. It was an angel with a heart-shaped bow and a pair of small white wings?
Were there still angels in this world?
“The third photo, lover. In the future, you will be in a difficult position because of love.”
Fang Ping shook his head. “And then? Just like that?”
She put the card away. “Do you want to know the revelation of fate? All you need is a silver dragon.”
“No, thank you.”
Fang Ping stood up and left. Qing Niao quickly followed.
“Fang Ping, you don’t say. It feels quite accurate. Look at the second hanging man. Isn’t she talking about you now? You don’t want to join the Elite team, but you came in again. Isn’t that a dilemma?
It was the same for lovers. Wasn’t it very difficult for you and Moon Bell?
It’s a pity that one silver coin is too expensive. Otherwise, I would also want to try.”
Fang Ping shook his head. As long as you set yourself up, everything would be fine.
He might as well think about what to buy.
He put his hand in her pocket and suddenly felt something. He took it out. It was the Gemini card.
He quickly turned around. The table in the corner had already disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
After a final stroll, Fang Ping bought a wooden statue.
Craftsmen were all semi-finished Elf statues. They could carve the desired appearance according to the requirements.
His craftsmanship was indeed good. According to Fang Ping’s description, he really could sculpt a little person similar to Moon Bell. It looked similar and had two pointy little ears.
This thing was not worth much. It was just good-looking. Fang Ping did not have much talent in giving gifts.
On the other hand, Qing Niao bought a string of gemstone bracelets. According to the vendor’s description, they were unique gemstones from the Dark Forest. However, Fang Ping did not know if they were real or fake. All he knew was that they looked good.
Qing Niao seemed to be in a good mood. He carefully put the bracelet into his backpack. It was unknown what he was thinking, but the corners of his mouth kept curling up slightly.
“The operation in the Dark Forest ended early because of an accident.
This time, two people had already raised their skills to Excellent and were about to enter Class 2.
“Let me remind you that the Elite team is not for you to relax. If you don’t work hard, someone from another class will replace you.
“Next, we have a new mission. We’ll return to the Elf City and rest for a day. Next, we’ll head to the Gawby Highlands.”
With that, Elsa led the team out of the hall.
Fang Ping knew what she meant, but he could see that the Elite Team was working hard. Basically, everyone’s armor was broken. It seemed that they had entered the Dark Forest to fight.
Fang Ping was probably one of the slackers.
He didn’t know what he was going to do at Goby Highlands. Now that the temperature continued to drop, Goby Highlands sounded very cold.
This world also had twelve months of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but the names were different. They were Flower Moon, Rain Moon, Wind Moon, and Snow Moon.
It was snowing in January, so it was probably October. Fang Ping did not know the latitude here, so he did not know when it would snow.
However, since the seasons were clear and the rain was hot at the same time, it should be a monsoon climate. Winter should not be especially cold.
Thinking about nothing, he followed the team towards the Elf City.
After leaving York Town, he could see that there was already a military camp stationed outside the town. It looked like it was not small.
Flags hung above the military camp. They were crosses.
“Are they all Forbidden Spellcasters?”
Qing Niao took a look. “Fang Ping, you don’t even know about the Vatican? These are the Vatican’s troops. Ah!”
Fang Ping shook his head. “I don’t know.”
“I was wondering why I only saw Elsa and not Commander Sean. He’s the leader of the Holy Light Army.”
Thinking of Commander Sean’s special characteristic assistance, leading the group of new students could fight the Beast Elves.
If they were leading a regular army? They must be very strong.
“I wonder what happened in the Dark Forest. The Vatican is here.”
Fang Ping asked, “, what’s wrong?”
“I don’t know much either. I only know that the army of the Vatican is rarely mobilized. This time, it’s rare.”
Thinking about it, Qing Niao used to be a cleaner, so he didn’t know much.
Now that he was going back to the team, he could talk to Ivan. He knew a lot.
He left York Town and entered the wilderness again. He walked the way he came and returned to Elf City.
After spending more than a day, they finally saw Elf City at noon the next day.
After twelve days, when he returned to Elf City and saw the north gate of the team, Fang Ping felt a sense of familiarity. Unknowingly, he had a sense of belonging to the Elf team.
Stopping at the north gate, Elsa said, “Take a day off tomorrow. Gather here at six in the morning the day after tomorrow and head for Goby Highlands.”
The team dispersed. Fang Ping saw a luxurious carriage driving over from the north gate. William bowed to Snow White. After Snow White boarded the carriage, he walked in as well. Then, the carriage gradually disappeared into the distance.
Indeed, being rich was different.
Qing Niao had already run away impatiently. Fang Ping could only go to the canteen to eat by himself.
