Faced with Echidna's question, Beatrice was so angry that she trembled all over. Regardless of her fear of the lust witch, she stood up from her seat and smashed her copy of the Book of Wisdom with a bang. On the tea table.
"You... what you told me is that when that person arrives, there will be a hint in my prophecy book, but in the past four hundred years, everyone who has come to the Forbidden Library has not been able to Let the prophecy book respond, and in the past month, there has been no content at all!"
At first, I was stuttering because of nervousness, but as I spoke, I could no longer suppress the loneliness I had endured for four hundred years, and my voice became louder and louder, almost roaring.
"I see!"
Faced with Beatrice's attitude, Echidna was not angry at all. It would be better to say that the smile at the corner of her mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and her eyes were even curved like crescent moons.
"However, it's really sad to be treated so ruthlessly by my own daughter. I established that contract with a loving mother's heart, but it was completely for your own good."
"Are you...are you kidding me? Is it good for me to endure four hundred years of loneliness in the Forbidden Library?"
Not only Beatrice, but Shen Fu also found it unbelievable. No matter how you looked at it, the contract was restricting her freedom, and it was still endless without knowing when she would be freed.
"Looks like I need to explain it better, Betty, what do you think the copy of the Book of Wisdom, or the Book of Prophecy, is?"
He raised his arms and stretched lazily. Instead of directly explaining what he said before, he talked about the prophecy.
"It should be able to show the future of the holder to a certain extent. Although it is not as good as the original book of wisdom in your hand that can know everything about the world, it still has the ability to peek into the future."
Beatrice did not speak, and Shen Fu first expressed his understanding. They also had certain thoughts and guesses about the existence of the Book of Wisdom.
"That's right, being able to show the future of the holder is the only function of the copy. But, my lovely daughter, why do you think your future is determined by such a book?"
"What means?"
Beatrice struggled to squeeze out these words from her mouth. She had vaguely guessed something, but she still couldn't believe it.
"Betty, although you are an elf created by me, in fact, all I did was cultivate you and let you grow from an unconscious micro elf as quickly as possible. But because of this, you are actually flawed. .”
Echidna also felt a little regretful. She took a sip of tea, cleared her throat and continued:
"That is, you cannot absorb mana directly from the atmosphere. You must go through the contractor or the Forbidden Library. Therefore, the contract allows you to have an alternative place before you find your contractor. When you choose your own After the future, the prophecy will naturally be revealed, and by then, all the knowledge in the Forbidden Library will be the dowry I leave to you."
"How...how could it be?"
Beatrice sat back on the chair weakly, lowered her head, and muttered to herself.
Shen Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He already knew that they had always had a misunderstanding, that is, the future shown in the prophecy book was the future chosen by Beatrice, not what the prophecy book gave. In other words, the so-called waiting person was completely It's up to her to decide.
However, in the final analysis, it was Echidna's fault that she only spoke part of her words. As she owned the complete Book of Wisdom, she might not have seen such a result. Sure enough, it was because of her bad taste.
"Also, there is a reason why nothing has been displayed for more than a month."
Echidna's eyes kept flicking back and forth between Beatrice and Shen Fu.
"In the final analysis, the Book of Wisdom is just a product of this world. If your future is no longer in this world, it is possible that it will not show any content."
Not in this world? Shen Fu was shocked. If they could go to other worlds, they were the only ones.
Only then did he suddenly realize his main purpose of coming here.
"Echidna, we already know about Betty. Next, I want to establish a contract with you!"
Things were solved one after another, and Shen Fu didn't want to wait any longer. He leaned on the back of his chair, stared into the other person's eyes, and stated his purpose word by word.
"Exchange knowledge for knowledge!"
Judging from his brief encounter, Echidna's character is actually clear at a glance. She is sinister, deceitful, and has obvious bad taste. When negotiating with such a person, you must go straight to the point and state your purpose directly. Otherwise you never know when you will be led into a pit.
"Interesting, knowledge about another world...deal!"
Unexpectedly, Echidna didn't say much, but agreed happily. In just a moment, Shen Fu felt that there seemed to be a vague will in the world, telling him the establishment of the contract.
This has never happened before, either when establishing a contract with Curio or Anastasia. Is this unique to witches?
"Then, we won't stay here any longer. The specific exchange process will be sent over in the future. Now please tell me, where are my two subordinates?"
Things went more smoothly than expected, and Shen Fu didn't want to stay here any longer. He patted Beatrice on the shoulder and stood up. He couldn't wait to see Yang Zhijun's current situation.
"Hey, are you leaving now? Obviously I still have a lot of things I want to talk about."
As if the lover on a date was about to leave, his pink lips pursed, and his eyes glanced at Shen Fu with resentment, but he still waved his hand. Something like water patterns appeared in the air, and the scene of the forest was reflected in it. Ji Ming and Yang Zhijun were looking at each other. It's there!
"Farewell, I think there will be a chance to meet again in the future."
Facing Echidna's unmoved eyes, Shen Fu did not forget that the person in front of him was an old woman who had lived for an unknown number of years. He directly took Beatrice's hand and disappeared in an instant.
Even in the witch's soul, he can still come and go freely.
"Zhijun!"
The position he reappeared was already in front of Ji Ming and Yang Zhijun. At this time, Yang Zhijun looked very different from before. He was wearing an animal skin coat that looked like a hunter, with thick stubble on his chin, a sword on his waist, and eyes. Sharp, almost unrecognizable.
"Shen Fu, if you say that, is this really Yang Zhijun?"
Ji Ming was the first to stand up. He appeared here directly after entering the cemetery. The man who appeared in front of him said that he was the comrade who had been erased from his memory. In fact, after this period of chatting, He was basically convinced, but he still needed Shen Fu, who still had memories, to confirm again.
Shen Fu suppressed his excitement and walked up to Yang Zhijun who had also stood up. Although it was only less than a month, too many things had happened, and he had been looking forward to it. The comrade who had been with him from the beginning was able to return.
"Snapped!"
He put his legs together and gave a standard military salute.
"Welcome back, Captain Yang!"
