The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

It's you! William's mouth showed a beautiful arc.

Fairytale meets reality!

This handsome boy with a smile like the sun is the lucky boy predicted by the [astrologer] in the fairy tale that William knew.

(The Devil Has Three Gold Hairs from the Grimm's Fairy Tales!)

The lucky son who was prophesied to marry the king accepted the king's test and was about to go to hell to pull out the three golden hairs of the devil.

Although William didn't know how he did it, and he looked so confident.

You know, even William, up to now, doesn't know the entrance to hell.

And the boy detected by the magic mirror is just an ordinary boy.

A mere mortal can do things that William may not even be able to do!

William was actually curious!

But for William, it is more important to obtain the fate-like magic of [Astrology].

He has been delaying this for a long time.

So he ordered the magic mirror to find out the country where the lucky son was.

Knowing the specific object is not a problem for the magic mirror.

The magic mirror soon finds out the country from which the handsome boy departs.

William also had an impression of this country. It was the Principality of Rock and Rock that he had visited some time ago, and the Kingdom of Nadia was separated from the Osma Empire.

At that time, William stayed in the Duchy of Locker for a period of time, but he found nothing, so he left.

Unexpectedly, it was actually dark under the lights!

William just put a mark on the [Lucky Son], and then he walked out of the wind, and it didn't take long to arrive at the capital of the Principality of Rock-Krok.

William appeared, and in front of him was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in plain clothes, and his temperament looked like...an old farmer.

He just stood in front of William calmly, not surprised at William's sudden appearance.

You're here. I've been waiting for you for a while. The old man with the white beard said calmly to William.

The king's astrologer? William was stunned for a moment, and then he asked tentatively with his heart moving.

Yes, I am exactly the person you are looking for who has mastered Astrology! The old man with the white beard replied.

William's face suddenly changed, Do you know that I'm coming to you?

Yes, this is a revelation from fate. The white-bearded old man nodded.

Have you seen the future? William asked after a moment of silence.

An inexplicable sense of uneasiness emerged in his heart. It was a sense of uneasiness that others had their fate in their hands. He felt that what he did was in the eyes of others. This feeling made him feel very weird.

Probably. The old man with white beard showed a strange expression on his face, with a half-smile, then shook his head and said.

... William was silent again, and after a while, he asked, Since you said that fate enlightened you, why didn't you come to see me when I came last time?

Because it wasn't the right time last time. The old man with white beard said mysteriously.

Then what did you see? William took a step forward, staring at the old man with the white beard.

I saw fate split into two unrelated straight lines in front of my eyes, one leading to the palace of death, the storm raged, the earth was torn apart, and the creatures endured the torment between the flood and the holy light!

The other one is the ladder leading to the future. I saw a figure standing on it, shrouded in the fog of fate, and there are infinite possibilities in front of me!

The tone of the old man with the white beard was like a magic stick.

You should speak human language. William pondered for a while, then curled his lips and said to the old man with white beard.

Okay! The white-bearded old man was also very straightforward, and said directly, I saw two possibilities of fate, one is that I was killed by you, and the astrology was taken away by you, and the other was that I took the initiative to pass it on to you [Astrology] ] The results are due to you, and you can also get a lot of money in return. So which one do you think I should choose?

... William was speechless for a while, looking at the [astrologer] in front of him with weird eyes, what about the image of a master?

Those who spy on fate will have to pay a price! How do you think I am so old? The white-bearded old man gave William a white look, and said.

What price? William asked this crucial question with his eyes fixed.

There are all kinds of costs, but at the beginning it is often lifespan. You will lose more or less lifespan if you look at fate once, and you may not be able to see the trajectory of future destiny clearly, but the price must be paid! The old man with white beard said.

Also, the more powerful the existence, or the special situation involved, the more the price needs to be paid.

Okay. What do you want from me? William asked.

Water of life! I know you have these things on your body! When talking about the reward, the eyes of the old man with white beard became eager.

Is this also what you can see from the trajectory of future destiny? William asked.

Hey... The old man with white beard just laughed.

...It can be...a deal! [Water of Life] William still has a lot, so he took out a small part to make a deal, and William thought it was a good deal, The premise is that I really learn this witchcraft!

Of course! The white bearded old man showed a smug smile on his face.

This smile made William feel a little uneasy.

He suddenly asked, The boy with the three golden hairs who went to pull out the demon king, were you the one who showed him the way?

Yes, I saw some trajectories in the future, so I helped him. The white-bearded old man, or the astrologer, admitted very simply.

What did you help him with? William asked immediately.

I told him what problems he would encounter along the way, and then I told him how to deal with them, how to get into hell, and how to pluck the three golden hairs from Cadmus' head! said the white-bearded astrologer.

Why did you do that? And, Cadmus? William asked by the way, the name [Cadmus] surprised him.

This was a name that surprised him and was somewhat familiar to him.

Cadmus, the dragon-slaying hero in Greek mythology, turned into a dragon in his later years and disappeared.

Back then, it was with the help of his descendants that he was able to kill the nine-headed dragon lizard.

How could William have forgotten?
