Sickle and hammer

There were only two people in the church. One was an unbelievably beautiful girl, and the other was a handsome young man.

But there was no ambiguous atmosphere here. The young man looked at her with a murderous look, and the girl still looked a little confused at this moment.

Wasn't he a respectable and benevolent old sage? How did he turn into a handsome young man with an air of arrogance and nobility? Also, this man was oppressing her mind with a strange aura.

Due to the great difference between reality and her imagination, Emma was still in a daze. Facing the young man's question, she answered subconsciously, "It's fate that guided me to come here, and it's also fate that guided them to chase after me and come to this village."

"Fate?" Liang Lidong smiled coldly. His smile was like sunlight refracted from ice, dazzling and gorgeous. However, not only did it not make people feel warm, but it was also bone-piercing cold. "Prophecy is indeed powerful, but I have never believed that prophecy can be of much use. What I'm more curious about is what fate you're talking about. Why did an illusory fate allow you to come all the way from Northshire Town without the risk of being chased? "

Liang Lidong had suffered from prophecy in the game, but that didn't mean that prophecy couldn't be checked. Otherwise, his territory would've been annexed by the noble force with the help of prophecy players.

Among the prophecy skills, there was Fate Examination. Prophecy could only see a short part of a person's life, but Fate Examination could see the trajectory of a person's life.

However, no player in the game had ever obtained Fate Examination. It was only a legend. According to the legend, only the Goddess of Fate had this powerful skill.

Liang Lidong was a little confused. He played with the gold coin in his hand and said coldly, "Saintess, tell me everything you saw in the prophecy. Don't leave out a single word."

Emma looked at him and hesitated for a moment. But when she remembered that it was this man who changed the fate of the people in Reed Village, and that his fate wasn't within her observation, she made up her mind and told him everything she saw. He told her everything about Reed Village, Kail, the Hero, and the Demon King.

After hearing this, Liang Lidong put the gold coins into his Backpack and asked, "That is to say, you're saying that you're going to die. If I didn't show up here, you wouldn't have stopped those men in black from coming to Reed Village. You would've watched those men in black kill the villagers and even the babies. "

Emma nodded with difficulty, a trace of pain on her beautiful face. "I can't do anything about it. This is fate's choice. If I didn't do this, the hero wouldn't have awakened …"

Before she could finish, Liang Lidong suddenly appeared in front of her. His right fist landed heavily on her face. The girl was sent flying more than four meters away. Two bloody front teeth fell to the ground and bounced two or three times.

If Emma weren't a level-12 professional, Liang Lidong's punch would've given her a concussion.

Seeing Emma covering her mouth in disbelief, Liang Lidong took out a towel from his Backpack and carefully wiped the blood on his fist. Then, he squinted at Emma. The girl was lying on the ground. Her clothes were a bit messy, and her porcelain-like legs were exposed. A certain part of the bottom of her legs was barely covered by her skirt. It was faintly discernible.

Although she was flat, the Holy Lady's skin was unbelievably smooth. Her body was small and exquisite. Although she didn't look sexy, there was another kind of inexplicable temptation, which was completely different from the charm of the mayor's wife, Sophia. But the attractiveness wasn't the slightest bit inferior.

The blood on his fists had been wiped clean, but there were still two spots of golden blood on his fists that he couldn't wipe away.

Since it couldn't be wiped off, Liang Lidong didn't care too much. Looking at the girl who was still lying on the ground, he said casually, "Punching you was already too lenient. If you hadn't protected the village just now, I would've definitely killed you … Since you said that your fate is different now, what are your plans next?"

Emma was very embarrassed. It was the first time in her life that she had been slapped in the face, and the other party was a man.

She stood up and wiped the blood on her mouth with the handkerchief she carried with her. Then, she cast a Water Healing spell on herself. Light blue magic light was set up in her body. Then, she looked at Liang Lidong with a somewhat angry expression. "That's right. I planned to watch those villagers die to stimulate the Hero Awakening. It was my fault, but even if you hit someone, I'll accept it. You can beat my body and torture me, but you can't hit my face."

For women, face was more important than money, and for beauties, face was more important than life. Although Emma was still a girl, she knew how rare it was for her to look like this in the human world. But now that she had been punched, she didn't know whether she would be disfigured or not.

In fact, it wasn't that Emma was stupid. She only cared about her face, but that she was too smart. She knew very well that once the other party punched her, her anger would dissipate, and she wouldn't be in any danger. Since there was no danger, then it was natural for her to care about her face. This was also the nature of women.

The Water Healing spell quickly cleared the small wound on Emma's lips, leaving only a small pink mark. Of course, the two teeth she had lost would not grow back so quickly. Even with the help of magic, it would take at least a week for them to grow back. Apart from a few evil gods, most of the Saintesses of neutral gods and good gods had special bonuses in healing spells.

If the Pope was said to be in charge of the internal affairs of a religion, then the Saintesses represented the image of the religion. Even though they were the propaganda points of the church, they often played the role of interacting with the believers. Therefore, the Saintesses did not need to have a strong attack power, but they had to master the exquisite healing skills. In this way, they could increase the reputation of the church when they treated the believers' diseases or dispelled their pain on various occasions and in various environments.

If a religion had prestige, it would be easier for it to gain believers. The more believers they had, the more powerful the god would be.

After repeatedly confirming that she had only lost a tooth and not broken her face, Emma looked at Liang Lidong and said, "The fate of Reed Village has been changed by you. How did you do it?"

Emma was extremely curious about this matter. She had also tried to change the fate of other people, but it was practically impossible. If she had tried, the outcome would have been even more miserable.

"Fate. I don't believe in those things. Therefore, fate has no way to control me. "

"It's that simple?" Emma frowned.

"It's that simple!" Liang Lidong replied confidently.

"Since you don't believe in fate, you can even change it. Then why didn't you receive the divine punishment of the Goddess of Fate? " Emma became even more curious.

Liang Lidong smiled. "You seem to think that fate cannot be avoided?"

Emma nodded. "At least, I have never seen a situation where fate could be reversed."

"Then does our Reed Village count?"

Emma was instantly left speechless. A beautiful girl with pink lips slightly parted. This should have been a very pleasing scene, but because Emma had lost two front teeth, it looked a little funny.

Liang Lidong looked at her appearance and suddenly thought of something. Suddenly, he thought of something. "Since you know prophecy, why don't you predict my future?"

"Can I?" Emma asked curiously.

Liang Lidong nodded. Prophecy was a rather rare ability even in the game. There were less than five players with prophecy, and he didn't know any of them.

Emma stood before Liang Lidong. Golden stardust suddenly appeared in her lifeless eyes. Before Liang Lidong sensed anything, Emma suddenly screamed. Holding her head and crouching on the ground, her petite and adorable body trembled nonstop as if she were in great pain.

"Are you alright?" asked Liang Lidong, frowning.

It was a long time before she stood up. Liang Lidong saw two streaks of blood flowing out of her nose. Emma took out a handkerchief, wiped her nose, and said, "I can't see your future. When I used the prophecy spell just now, there was a strange image in front of you. It launched a very strange mental attack on me."

Liang Lidong asked in confusion, "A strange image?"

"Yes, that's what it looks like."

Emma's slender fingers traced something in the air. The greenish-yellow magic elements formed a strange pattern.

Liang Lidong took a closer look, and his expression became conflicted. It was a symbol of a sickle and a hammer, and he was very familiar with it. It could even be said to be a symbol that could be seen almost every day.

Emma looked at Liang Lidong's expression and asked, "You recognize this pattern?"

Liang Lidong nodded. "Yes, I do, but it shouldn't be here, and it shouldn't be with me."

"What does this pattern mean?" Emma's originally lifeless eyes suddenly lit up. She moved closer to Liang Lidong. With a fanatical curiosity, he asked, "It can block my prophecy, which means that you can change your fate because of it, right?"

Liang Lidong shook his head and did not speak. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

He reckoned that this familiar pattern should have something to do with the so-called Materialist talent, or maybe it was the anomaly when the talent was activated. He had never seen this talent in the game, nor had he heard other players talk about it, so it probably didn't exist. But after being reborn in this world, he inexplicably had this talent, which meant that there might be many talents and skills in this world that he had never heard of.

After all, the game world was the game world, and reality was reality.

If Blondie and Whitey were here, he could ask them why such a strange talent appeared, and maybe he could get an answer, but now … it was better not to ask Goddess Woking. They weren't very familiar, and if she knew something, or if she didn't have a good impression of the people of another world, the consequences would be hard to say.

Liang Lidong came back to his senses and was startled. Emma's unbelievably beautiful little face was less than twenty centimeters away from him, and she was staring at him with a pair of curious eyes.

The distance between the two was too close, and Liang Lidong could even feel the breeze from her breath … with the unique sweetness of a young girl.

A big palm pressed down on the girl's pretty face, and then he pushed her away.

"You're too close." Liang Lidong stood up. "Don't ask anymore, there are some things that can't be said to others."

"Oh!" Emma was very disappointed. Her greatest wish was to reverse the unfortunate fate of everyone, and now that she had finally met someone who was not controlled by fate, she was eager to know how the other party did it. Unfortunately, the other party was not willing to tell her the secret.

Emma was also very clear that everyone should have their own secrets, and most of the time it was not good to ask too much. But she really wanted to know, and it had almost become her obsession.

However, there were many ways to know other people's secrets in this world, such as money, beauty, pressure, temptation, and so on … Of course, these were just small ways. According to the knowledge she had obtained from the Goddess of Storms, if a woman wanted to know another man's biggest secret, the easiest way was to make him fall in love with her.

But when Emma thought of this, she did not feel very happy. Although the man in front of her was very handsome and strong, she did not like this type of man, who was too domineering. Although she did not like men like Kail the Hero who hesitated with women, domineering men were not good either. He broke her face without saying anything … Such a man was not good.

Seeing the expression on Emma's face changing, Liang Lidong said, "Okay, let's continue the topic just now. What are you going to do next? You said that Kail is a Hero, and that he needs to awaken to have the combat power to kill a demon, and that he needs to see something tragic to stimulate his blood … In other words, if Kail does not awaken, the world will be over, and the demon will come and kill all the humans in the world? "

Emma nodded solemnly. "The most troublesome thing now is that the demon is about to be resurrected, but the Hero has not awakened yet."

Hehehe! Liang Lidong could not help but chuckle. "You've read too many Knight novels. This world will not be destroyed just because someone is gone. No matter how powerful the demon is, it's useless. Fate is even more boring. Besides, the responsibility of saving the world should not be placed on a little girl like you and a kid like Kail. Even if you want to risk your life, you have to wait until all the adults are dead before it's your turn. "

Emma was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that the man in front of her did not seem so annoying, but she immediately said unhappily, "I'm not a little girl. I'm fourteen now. According to the law of our country, I can get married and have children now. "

"You haven't even grown a bun yet. Are you going to starve your child? Don't think so much. You'd better go back to your Temple of Storms and be a good Saintess for the rest of your life."

Liang Lidong stood up, waving his sleeves of the wide magician's robe, the doors of the temple opened, and outside the door stood Kyle and Belin, both looking embarrassed. Anyone would have that expression when caught eavesdropping in the corner.
