Chapter 1712 The Starting Point of Travel

"No, maybe you are stronger than her. But she is chosen by fate."

The dust figure interrupted the unicorn, but the unicorn and the hound were unwilling to give up like this.They all sincerely want to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the petrified girl, this is not a feigned emotion.

"Just wait a moment."

The silver cat on Shad's shoulder said:
"Why don't you ask her for her own opinion?"

The paw pointed to the stone statue:

"Her soul is imprisoned inside, but since her body is dying, psychic abilities should be useful to her. Although I'm not sure how long the soul will be able to appear, at least it will allow you to see her temporarily. Maybe, you can Ask what's going on here. She knows the rules better than us."

Chloe's words make sense, because the unicorn state cannot use the power of the undead, and Shade's thaumaturgy channeling is only an incomplete reverberation, so Chloe still does the channeling.

The casting process went smoothly, the cat's tail shook a few times, and then Chloe jumped onto the shoulder of the stone statue.Following the dim gray light emitted by the cat's claws, a transparent spirit body with a face exactly the same as that of the stone statue floated out slowly.

The beautiful girl opened her eyes and looked around in shock.She first looked at Xia De and the animals suspiciously, and then somehow, she recognized her teacher and sister:
"Teacher, Clara, you guys."

Her spiritual body is extremely unstable, and she will soon return to the stone statue. Obviously, using psychic means to temporarily free her is also not allowed:
"Do not bother me!"

She raised her hand to touch the weeping unicorn:
"As long as you are happy, I will be happy."

The transparent hand touched the smooth white hair, and then disappeared.Chloe jumped back on Shad's shoulders again, and this time she couldn't help it.

The parrot flies in the air watching this scene, and the soul of the bard sighs in the parrot's body.A teardrop fell from the corner of the unicorn's eye, she raised her head again, and turned to reprimand her maid:
"Don't cry, your sister is here, do you want to cry in front of her?"

Then he looked at Xia De again:
"Sir, you must have a solution, right? Please help us, no matter what price we have to pay, please help us."

"Xia De, do you have any other options?"

Chloe also asked, Xia De really nodded, he is very familiar with this situation.The dust figure at the other end of the table has not disappeared, and the God of Journey led the story here, which means that there is still a remedy. The God of Journey is not a "God of Tragedy", and will not let a group of people do nothing at the end of their adventure , can only watch the tragedy cannot be changed:

"Your question just now was wrong. You shouldn't be exchanging yourself for someone else. The correct question is—excuse me, how can we save this petrified girl?"

Xia De asked, and the dust figure gave an answer:

"The choice of fate must be redeemed by fate. Give valuable fate and put them on the table. If fate is enough, then I will give you a chance."

"How to give fate?"

The hound transformed by the maid in the black dress couldn't wait to ask, but this time, she didn't get an answer.

So she looked at her master, and the unicorn looked at the cat on Xia De's shoulder, hoping that the demigod witch could think of something.

"Shad."

The silver cat asked Xia De again. Chloe knew that Xia De must have a solution, and she fully believed in this magical man.

Xia De also nodded:

"The story of travel will end with the meaning of travel. It is already the afternoon of the seventh day, and this is the last stop except for tonight."

With that said, he took out the card representing "Moon Traveler":

"Our group traveled here, probably for this reason."

After he placed the card in the rectangle formed by the notches on the table, they found that the area of ​​the rectangle was exactly the same as the area of ​​the card.

"So it is."

The unicorn looked at the seats where everyone was sitting, and everyone's cards flew over.

"Will you help me?"

She asked her companions, and the parrot first stated:
"I have reached the final step, and I also want to see whether fate can really be defeated."

So the parrot card was placed in parallel next to the Shade card.

"Try it, I came here to investigate here."

The silver cat also said, and her cards were also placed on the table.

"I must save my sister."

The black hound took the initiative to stretch out its paws, and pressed its own card that had not fallen down on the table.

"Most definitely."

So the cards of the unicorn also fell, and the five cards were arranged in a row.The golden and silver light flow overflowed from the surface of the card, extending along the small rectangular grooves on the table, slowly lighting up the entire table.

"not enough."

The dust figure said slowly, its body was illuminated by the light from the table.

"Shad."

Chloe said again, wanting to jump into Shad's arms, but was "driven" by Mia again.

Shade then asked the god who was still sitting in his original position, but the god did not look at the table by the campfire:

"Excuse me, can our experience along the way be counted as destiny? You guided us through seven days, is the meaning here?"

"The meaning of travel needs to be found by yourself, but those experiences, of course, are destiny, and that is the destiny you choose."

The god turned his back to him and said, so those old cards that had been turned over and gone to nowhere, flew from the bonfire in a line to everyone. [Candy House Witch], [Ferry Boat], [Snow Mountain Severe Cold]. Twenty cards representing various events of the seven-day trip were divided into five rows and four columns, and displayed on top of the five identity cards, so the cards were scattered. The emitted light stream made the light on the table more intense.

"Is this enough?"

Shad asked the dusty figure at the other end of the table. It looked at the light on the table and a total of 25 cards. After a slight pause, it said:

"Equal fate, seven-day travel, so that's how it is. You are travelers from afar. Your fate is completely equal to hers, but nothing can be changed, and someone needs to pay the price."

He pointed at the crowd, and at some point, all of them returned to human form.Maybe it's because of paying the identity card, maybe it's because of the choices that will be faced:

"Use her in exchange for her sister."

The one he pointed at was of course Clara, the maid in black dress. She was not surprised at all, but felt a sense of relief.

The maid nodded, then turned to the witch with short brown hair and said:

"Miss, please allow me to do this. My sister became like this because of my jealousy and greed. Now it's my turn to pay the price and return to my sister. This is my salvation and the fate I deserve. Starting from the starting point of the trip, five people arrive at the end of the trip, so that the trip is meaningful."

"If you stay here, what does our trip mean to me?"

The witch shook her head seriously:
"Remember what the angel said? Ruby and sapphire, I can only choose one. I knew what it meant then. Don't you know me, Clara?"

She raised her right hand and clenched it into a fist:

"I want it all. If I want to keep you this time and get your sister back, I would rather not make a choice. Now that I know this, as long as I don't die in the future, I still have decades or hundreds of years of love." Time to come here again and try again. You are as important to me as she is, sorry I didn't say that before, but I'm going to tell you now that I won't give up one for the other, not anyway. "

Chloe held Shad's hand, watching this scene in a daze for a while.The bard took out a pen and paper and continued writing in a position far away from the witches, as if he wanted to record every detail of the story.

The petite witch emperor with long silver hair asked Xia De in a low voice:
"Do you know what the furthest distance in the world is?"

Dorothy also asked Shad half a month ago, but obviously this time the answer needs to be changed:
"You are right in front of me, but I can't take you away."

"No, you are right in front of me, but I know that you will always leave."

She said to Xia De, and Xia De also looked at her, but the demigod witch laughed again:
"So I admire that Andriana over there. She has enough determination. Fortunately, I have it too. We will meet again."

After finishing speaking, he said to the witch master and servant:

"One person must stay here. This is something that fate has already decided and cannot be changed. Andriana, no matter what method you think of, as long as you can't break fate, these methods are just like Xia De's spell casting and me. Like my spiritism, it works, but only for a moment."

"Your Majesty, are you saying that I want to find the power to override fate?"

asked the brown-haired witch.

"You already possess the power above fate."

Shad reminds:
"If there is no guidance, how can you enter the Lost Forest, how can you meet the gods, and how can you come here with us? Think about it carefully, think about the starting point of the journey. It is not the starting point of the seven-day journey, it is you and The starting point of Miss Clara's journey to find Miss Lacus. What has been guiding you all this time? What, pointing out the direction again and again, has led us all to stand here?"

The answer is very simple. In this way, even Xia De's appearance this time is because of the guidance that the witch first received:

"But you have to think about it. The ending of using that power may not be as good as you think."

"guide me"

[Vientiane Impermanence·Space] was taken out by her, and everyone's eyes were focused on this seemingly ordinary card.
