Chapter 77: final choice
"Mystery: Key of the Star(
Su Yuanning was stunned.
"Why?" he asked.
Strange to say.
In fact, when Arrodes gave advice abnormally at first, Su Yuanning had vague guesses about the result.
After all, what kind of existence can interfere with Arrodes' peeping? What kind of factors would make Arrodes take the initiative to give him advice?
Whether it is inferred from the objective logic of the existence of the problem, or inferred from the logic of Arrodes' sudden change, he should leave Pelizk as soon as possible to avoid subsequent unpredictable events.
But when the other boot actually landed and heard the real news from Zhou Mingrui's mouth, Su Yuanning's first reaction was "why".
Does leaving immediately solve the problem?
Zhou Mingrui seemed to have long expected that Su Yuanning would ask such a question. The gold coins disappeared from his fingertips when he flipped his palm.
He leaned back on the high-back chair, put his fingers on the tip of his nose, and looked at Su Yuanning flatly.
"Your destiny is disturbed," he said.
"Although I'm... limited by this."
Zhou Mingrui looked around slowly and chuckled lightly.
"But there are not many people who can interfere with the divination under my eyes now. In this case, there is only one."
Zhou Mingrui didn't say it explicitly, but Su Yuanning quickly realized the answer.
"Polluted moon." Su Yuanning said.
"Ok."
Hearing Su Yuanning's answer, Zhou Mingrui nodded lightly.
"Or to be more precise, the favored ones who are directly protected by Him." Zhou Mingrui paused and added, "He is still unable to directly interfere with... the interior of the planet."
"However, He may have noticed your location recently by some means."
"You know." Zhou Mingrui curled the corners of his lips, looking at Su Yuanning with a half-smile but not a smile, "The people who will come to 'look for' you now are not minor characters."
"..."
"..."
"Okay. Then I'll leave."
After a moment of silence, Su Yuanning said.
He knew very well how much he weighed, and also knew that if there was really a favored person behind the incident, then the matter could not be solved by him. At least not now.
Zhou Mingrui nodded slightly in agreement.
However, the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.
Su Yuanning did not speak for a long time, and Zhou Mingrui did not intend to continue speaking.
Whether you want to leave the land of right and wrong, and protect yourself by "escape".
This requires Su Yuanning to make his own choice.
while making a choice. It is true that he will save some life-threatening things, but at the same time, the lost things will follow him.
"Senior Xiao Zhou... can I ask a few more questions?"
After a moment of silence, Su Yuanning asked.
"Well." Zhou Mingrui nodded, "You ask."
He had long expected that Su Yuanning would not choose to leave so easily.
"After I leave, will the fact that the pirates attack Pelizik will change?" Su Yuanning asked in a low voice.
Zhou Mingrui looked at Su Yuanning and did not answer immediately. At the same time, a gold coin reappeared on his fingertip.
"Ding--"
The gold coins flew in the air and fell. But Zhou Mingrui was able to give an answer without looking at the gold coin.
"No." Zhou Mingrui said.
Su Yuanning took a deep breath invisible and let it out softly. He had foreseen this result, so he asked.
"Then, if the garrison is notified in advance, is Peritzk capable of resisting this attack?"
Although Pelizke is small, it still undertakes a certain transportation work for the official Ruen of the Rhosid Islands, so there are Ruen troops stationed in the city-state. In theory, the city defense also has a certain ability to fight the enemy.
Zhou Mingrui was silent, but he also tossed the coin in his hand again.
The gold coin crossed a curve in the air and landed on the back of his hand.
"They are powerless to resist." Zhou Mingrui said.
"This attack by the pirates is very violent. They will slaughter the whole city."
He seemed to be announcing an ordinary result, with an emotionless tone.
Zhou Mingrui looked at Su Yuanning, his eyes flat: "If you leave Perizk and notify Loen's garrison, it will not change the fact that Perizk will disappear in history. After the pirates loot, the city will no longer exist. exist."
"..."
"..."
Su Yuanning opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Granted, Perizke is a small town.
But he also has a resident population of 4,000 and a floating population of 2,000. That's nearly eight thousand lives.
Above the gray fog fell silent again.
Zhou Mingrui looked at the silent Su Yuanning and did not speak. His fingers curled up again, and the golden coin disappeared from his fingertips.
Afterwards, he beckoned to Arrodes who was floating in mid-air, and the silver-white mirror turned into a puppy again and sat on his lap again.
Zhou Mingrui lowered his eyes and gently followed Arrodes' hair without showing much expression.
In the living room above the gray fog, it was rarely quiet again. Only the sound of fire crackling.
Yes, there is a year-round fire in the fireplace. Just like the blanket on Zhou Mingrui's leg, it adds a lot of warmth to this space.
However, after a long while, Su Yuanning raised his eyes again.
"Can I... ask you some more questions?" he said softly.
"Of course." Zhou Mingrui lifted his eyelids gently.
"I just had an idea..."
Su Yuanning coughed lightly and tried to put forward a hypothesis: "If I directly deal with those pirates, and then go to Silver City through 'travel' and leave Pelizik, can I change Pelizk's future situation?"
"..."
Hearing this, Zhou Mingrui's dog-playing hand paused.
He raised his eyes to look at Su Yuanning, the black eyes behind the lens were obviously a little surprised at this moment.
Afterwards, Zhou Mingrui also pushed Arrodes aside, and raised his hand thoughtfully He transformed the gold coin out of thin air again and threw it into the sky.
Su Yuanning stared at the gold coins with wide eyes.
"No." Zhou Mingrui gave the answer the moment he threw it out.
"..."
"..."
Su Yuanning's lips twitched, and he fell silent again.
Zhou Mingrui changed his words: "But."
The moment he heard the turning point, Su Yuanning's eyes lit up again, whose shoulders were drooping down.
He looked at Zhou Mingrui expectantly.
Zhou Mingrui's expression was as flat as ever: "If you use this method to deal with the pirates who have been harassing in advance, then Peritzk can still exist, and it will not disappear from history since then, and can continue to exist."
Su Yuanning's eyes lit up immediately.
Zhou Mingrui looked at Su Yuanning, a little stunned, but he didn't make Su Yuanning happy for too long.
He immediately took another turn.
"But I need to tell you something." Zhou Mingrui calmly informed Su Yuanning of the complete divination results, "Peritzk may have a disaster that cannot be avoided even by killing pirates."
"My divination shows the fate of Pelizik, and in this possibility, there is still a 'disturbance'."
"The result of the divination is 'safe', but since there is a 'disturbance', I believe you should understand what I mean."
Su Yuanning was stunned for a while, but quickly nodded firmly.
"The Blessed Ones of the Contaminated Moon may also have made relevant arrangements in the interior of Perizke." Su Yuanning said.
"If the slaughter caused by direct departure is the inevitable result, then I must choose the option where there may be hope."
Su Yuanning looked at Zhou Mingrui, his eyes filled with light.
"And I think your divination gives me hope.
