"Oh, dear Mr. Doro, have you already returned from your date with Miss Elf?"
Mohe sniffed Doro as he approached, without any reservation: "Eh~ how strange~ no scent like that, and it doesn’t seem like you’ve bathed, did you really not do that kind of thing with Miss Elf?"
"You... a date isn’t necessarily for doing that kind of thing."
"But Miss Elf clearly had that intention, right? I can tell~ It wouldn’t be good to waste a girl’s feelings like that, Mr. Doro, you might regret it later."
"Regret?"
Doro stared at Mohe: "What do you know?"
"Know what?" Mohe looked puzzled, "Though I can’t deny I did give her so advice, I can’t quite understand why you wouldn’t accept it... Lisidorwei is part of the Demon Race, after all, so sohow Miss Elf would be easier to accept, right? Or maybe you’re more interested in the Demon Race now?"
Mohe seriously considered this: "Perhaps you once were enemies with the Demon Race, but now you have different thoughts, and so you have complex feelings about them. Each ti you do that kind of thing with the Demon Race, you feel a strange joy in your heart, from this perspective..."
"Enough, if you keep talking like that, I’ll beco a weirdo among humans."
"Aren’t you already a weirdo among humans?"
That was hard to deny.
But...
"So, what do you know?"
"What are you talking about?"
Doro seriously looked at Mohe: "I an, about Elf, what do you know?"
"Your words are strange, Mr. Doro, if you’re the one dating her, why not just ask her directly? Asking ... I don’t quite understand what you an~ I was the one captured by you, earlier I just sent a crow over to check things out..."
Mohe gestured, and a crow descended from the sky, landing on her hand.
"You can think of this as just having so fun~"
"..."
Suddenly, it felt difficult to look at that crow directly.
He forced the topic back on track: "Elf is definitely hiding sothing from —sothing important, and you know the answer. Tell , Mohe."
"Eh~ you’re so confident in ~ Such things, even if you’re the beloved one who doesn’t know, you think I know... it’s a bit embarrassing~" Mohe showed a shy smile, "Honestly... it’s quite troubling... telling soone else’s secret, Mr. Doro, what do you plan to trade for this information?"
"This is a request, not a trade."
Mohe paused for a mont; Doro’s words took her a while to digest, and she finally understood: "You’re planning to get this for free~"
"Yes."
How can you just say that word so shalessly?
Speaking of which, seems like...
"A boorang..."
Didn’t she just recently say sothing about free stuff through skill...
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Mohe shook her head, suddenly lifting her gaze to the sky: "Mr. Doro, the Northern sky is so clear and bright, the stars here are beautiful~ Speaking of which, I know a little bit of astrology... how about we find a place that’s better for stargazing?"
After all, Doro returned at night; Mohe originally thought he would spend the night and return later, considering Doro’s stamina is quite good, and Snow Elf Elf as a warrior should be too. From this perspective... it’s strange that nothing happened, aren’t warriors like that easily passionate?
Stargazing?
Doro didn’t quite understand Mohe’s intention, but Mohe seed not to refuse his request. In this Ice and Snow Kingdom, when it cos to a good place for stargazing, the highest structures would be ideal, of course?
He and Mohe went together to a lookout tower in the city; usually, soldiers would be responsible for guarding here, but Elf had let the soldiers rest, having judged that the Human Central Empire’s army wouldn’t attack tonight.
How this conclusion was reached is hard to say—perhaps it was Mohe’s opinion.
But that’s not sothing Doro should worry about, as he and Mohe reached the lookout tower together.
Sothing resembling a magic array floated into Mohe’s palm.
Doro knew this thing is called a star disc.
It’s the foundation astrologers use for divination—in reality, calling it magic isn’t quite right, it’s simply using magic power to outline one’s own star disc.
Theoretically, each astrologer’s star disc is different. The Demon King Mohe’s star disc...
Doro was quite curious, though it seed quite ordinary, and the outlines were rather simple and plain. He’d seen so astrologers’ star discs, whose complex lines made his head spin. Compared to those, Mohe’s was simple, resembling a hexagram.
But with so subtle differences.
"Hmm~ this angle is really nice, Mr. Doro, what do you think of astrology?"
The starry sky began to reflect on Mohe’s star disc, with complex points of light moving, categorizing, and outlining shapes on the disc, rendering it incomprehensible.
"Isn’t this a ans of predicting the future?"
"So, what do you think about predicting the future?"
Doro thought of Rastina’s matter. Speaking of which, in the past when they were Heroes, they also relied on the stargazing skill...
"It should have a certain degree of accuracy, right?"
Mohe smiled, "Hmm, a certain degree of accuracy. From your perspective, it likely is so indeed~"
The reflection of the starry sky on Mohe’s star disc had beco completely different from the real starry sky, showing a different pattern. Doro wasn’t sure what these changes ant; stargazing skill is a very profound subject, not easily understood even by many great scholars.
Take, for example, Adriana, a mage known as a Wise Person, but she doesn’t really understand astrology.
"Overall, isn’t it mainly about the familiarity with the world?"
"Familiarity?"
Mohe nodded, "For example, Miss Rose, as a Charming Demon created by , her abilities are granted by . I’m pretty clear about what she will do. Sooner or later, she should be unable to resist her instincts and do sothing to you, and based on my understanding of you... although the process will be sowhat intricate, you probably won’t refuse her too much."
"I..."
"No need to deny it in a hurry. In general, if this is the case, I can confidently say that according to the results of astrology, although the star phase is not very stable, the final outco is favorable... You and Miss Rose have a destined relationship — it’s sothing like that."
Doro couldn’t help but frown, "Are you saying astrology is a fraud?"
If the Demon King says astrology is a fraud, then astrology in this world is definitely fraudulent, given that this person...
"That’s not what I an. I just want you to understand that astrology, in essence, can indeed predict to so extent, but the premise is your cognition and understanding of the world. Knowing the operations of the world, the core is extrely difficult to explain, and unexpected situations are not absent... just like how I created Lisidorwei, but Lisidorwei betrayed for you. That was beyond my expectations. The results of astrology are not completely accurate, even if you understand this world well."
Doro listened, sowhat unclear, but generally nodded.
"Ahem! Anyway, Mr. Doro, I am now going to declare my prophecy!"
So words require people to think, not directly providing others with the answers, but needing effort to ponder.
Doro focused his mind. He didn’t understand astrology well, but he trusted Mohe’s level.
If he misheard a word, it might lead to a very disastrous outco. Mohe would undoubtedly relish seeing bad results happen.
So, what exactly were those words?
Looking at Doro’s serious and solemn expression, Mohe’s smile beca more pronounced, and she suddenly spoke.
"Are you sure you can accept it?"
"Huh?"
Doro’s concentrated mind was thrown into bewildernt by this sudden inquiry.
Wasn’t she supposed to say words that needed contemplation?
Are you sure you can accept it?
How should one explain this sentence?
Seeing Doro’s confused expression, Mohe chuckled softly, "Alright, no need to be so solemn. I’m different from other astrologers. I don’t have much reverence for destiny. Even if destiny is revealed, so what? If we talk about the echoes of fate, I’m currently trembling with its echoes... This doesn’t affect what I do, so don’t worry, I won’t speak in vague terms."
That’s true.
This is, after all, the Demon King.
The great Demon King.
Her astrology should indeed be different from others’.
Or perhaps, she doesn’t even need astrology to get answers, so to her, saying so ambiguous words is aningless; she can directly give the answer.
"However, I won’t tell you everything either. After all, Mr. Doro, you’re freeloading—I’m not happy~"
"..."
Mohe, smiling with narrowed eyes, finally said the clue regarding the star phase:
"Adriana’s intention in designing this sche is to kill you, and what you should focus on is what Miss Elf wants, and whether she knows Adriana’s intention. Just don’t make decisions you’ll regret later."
Doro couldn’t hold it.
Even though he knew Mohe was different from other astrologers, isn’t this too straightforward?
Wasn’t Adriana’s sche intended to kill ?
He vaguely had so thoughts, but didn’t expect the answer to be so directly in his face. Yet it seems, compared to the first half, the latter half is more important?
What does Elf want? Does she know Adriana’s intention? Don’t make decisions that would make regret?
What does it an?
