Chapter 02 The God of Mortals
Winter is coming in the city of Saint Rondell.
Winters in the western part of the mainland often come slowly and gently, and even the arrival of snowflakes is as refreshing as the first ray of sunshine shining into the windowsill in the early morning.
The creation god Alexandra seems to be particularly loving to Violet, the Western water-element country. God wrote the empire into an aesthetic love poem or a fascinating fairy tale, and even walking in an unknown alley, you can feel the special interest and charm.
The boy woke up. But the warm winter sunshine did not seem to bring him a good mood, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
"Master Rongmei, Master Rongmei!" the young man shouted.
"What's wrong?" The low male voice replied ignorantly. The man named Rong Mei looked away from the pages and asked, "What's the stupid thing you did? He was frowning."
The young man said aggrievedly: "What else can it be? Seeing that the army of the Grey Empire is about to reach the capital, our dog king is so good. He asked me to go to the palace to make divination and calculations every day. He had to say that I fool him, what kind of virtue can I do? It's not auspiciousness, nor is it avian appearance... It's really bad for eight lifetimes!"
Whenever Lin Ye was in a bad mood, he would angrily lean on Rong Mei's back and buried his face deep in his master's dark silver hair. His master was very special. Not only was his hair color different from ordinary people, but his iris was also dark gray. Although his appearance was one of the best handsome and handsome people on the continent of this fantasy capital, he was cold and arrogant, and he didn't like to talk too much to others, which made people afraid.
I heard the cold voice of Rong Mei: "He doesn't know it in his heart, don't you?"
If it were before, Lin Ye would have danced happily, planning where to go to see the beautiful girl on the weekend, but now he only felt a sense of loss and squeezed into his chest with depression: "Master, give me some advice. You are the patriarch of the Astrology clan. Please think about it. Is there any way to fool the palace person? OK, Master!"
"The Astrology Messenger of Destiny will come and complain to you. I will buy you gooseberry currants and maple sugar cakes for you."
Lin Ye said depressedly: "You said that this is the reason I used last time! Master, how can I have the mood to eat waffles now... If I don't become the 'Imperial Star Master' now, is it still too late?"
"What do you think?"
Looking at the snowy street scene outside the window, Lin Ye's heart gradually became cold.
"Forget it. I'll go out. Why do you want to take a leave? You want to stay here and be cold outside." Rong Mei closed the book in her hand and stood up and left.
"Master, where are you going on this heavy snowy day?"
The wind blows away the tail sound of Lin Ye rising. His master always goes like this, leaving as he says, never revealing a word about his itinerary.

Rong Mei traveled eastward and left the capital.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the chaotic storm blew a series of ghosts and howls between the empty heaven and earth outside the city. Fortunately, the trip was very short, and the destination of Rongmei was not far outside the city of Saint-Landell.
The heavy snow covered the vision with an empty white, and the bitter wind blew his silver-white robe.
It was a very inconspicuous small bungalow, a bit like the hunting hut of hunters in the mountains. At this moment, a layer of fresh snow had accumulated on the roof. Rong Mei knocked on the door and quickly entered the house.
"You're here."
In the house is an old man with a long hair and a young face. He raised his head and looked at the boy entering the house with a smile.
"Grandfather Quinn, how are you doing recently?" At this time, Rong Mei's eyebrows and eyes were covered with crystal snow, flashing with diamond-like light, but she didn't feel embarrassed, which made his eyebrows and eyes more gentle and handsome.
"Okay, very good. Do some small handicrafts every day, it's very comfortable." The old man Quinn walked to his tool table, and there were all kinds of strange tools on it. There were a wide variety of gems and countless pieces of material that could not be named. "Yong Mei, how can you use the staff that grandfather made for you last time?"
Rong Mei said respectfully: "Of course. In terms of craftsmanship, you are one of the few in the mainland."
"Come on. I don't believe your trick, a little brat." Quinn leaned on his stick and pretended to be angry and glanced at Rong Mei. "From childhood, I know what you want to do when you stick your tail out. Come to me for no reason, and what troubles have you encountered?"
Rong Mei rarely squeezed out a embarrassed smile. Her ice-like face was warm and she added a bit of a childlike sense: "Grandfather, you are the elder of the astrological clan, and I can't hide anything from you. Recently, I have indeed needed your help if you have something."
Quinn also rarely saw Rong Mei acting so coquettishly and naughty, and smiled: "Stop it, Rong Mei Chief, you are the leader of the astrology clan now. You are the only one who is old. What can you do for you?"
Rong Mei said straight to the point: "I need a boy named Bai Lianzhou, who is from the Virginia Empire."
Quinn asked: "Bai Lianzhou...he sounds strange, not like a man from the Virgin Empire. What are you going to do?"
"I can't say this."
"Can't say it? Then don't help." Quinn waved his hand.
Rong Mei hesitated for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, that boy named Bai Lianzhou, knows my secret."
The stove exudes a warm smell of silver frost and charcoal, and Quinn's smile is peaceful and calm. He looks at Rongmei for a long time, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed: "What should come will always come. Rongmei, for more than 20 years, do you still remember what I have been teaching you?"
Rong Mei said: "Of course, my grandfather taught me that the freedom I followed in this life is temperance and self-restraint, not indulgence."
"Then tell me about Bai Lianzhou."
The charming eyes were covered with a layer of black, condensed in his eyes, and gradually turned into a ball of ink mist. Countless tiny highlights danced in his eyes, forming a series of treacherous nebula. The stars were constantly connected to form lines, and the astrological signs were changing back and forth, like the fascinating Milky Way.
Quinn knew that he was using astrology to divine, so he lowered his hands and waited silently.
As the Nebula retreated, Rong Mei slowly spoke: "Bai Lianzhou is now among the advance troops sent by the Virginia Empire, but his spiritual power is average, and he can only be considered a medium astrologer at most. The astrologer who replaces the Wind Empire comes to participate in the war."
"Medium astrologer, it's far from you..." Quinn frowned, a little puzzled.
"I'm also very surprised. His spiritual power is far below me, so he should be completely blocked by my 'psychic energy'. Why did he suddenly see my location..."
"Things of the world are unpredictable, Rongmei. You are too young, and the world you see may not be what it originally looked like." Quinn put his arm on Rongmei's hand and suddenly said to himself: "Why have you grown so tall, kid? In my impression, you are just so small, like a cat, and now you are a tall man of 1.9 meters tall. I want to look at you, but my neck hurts."
"Grandfather, what should I do now?" Rong Mei squatted down and looked up at Quinn's old face.
"Come on, please let me kill him?"
"Of course not."
"Then are you here to ask me to stop him from finding you?"
"It seems...not."
Quinn sighed and said, "Then are you here to ask for my opinion and allow you to use that psychic power?"
Rong Mei did not answer, and his face gradually lowered in the flashing red flames.
Quinn touched Rong Mei's head and murmured: "Child, grandfather is old, and his judgment on things today may not be right. This is your life, your world, and you have to make decisions on many things yourself..."
Rong Mei's eyebrows were slightly frowning, and her originally quiet eyes were full of anxiety and anxiety: "But you are the best astrologer in the Violet Empire. What you see must be more than just expressed in the astrological signs..."
"But even grandfather can't be more than you see, Rongmei." Quinn raised his head and looked at the old utensils on the table. "Even if grandfather devotes his whole life, it will not be as meaningful as the short twenty years of your life. Astrologist... it's hard to do. Grandfather didn't do well enough, but you can do it very well."
"What's the use of seeing more? The more people look at them, the more they are, the more likely they will lose themselves." Rong Mei was panicked and opened her mouth in panic and said, "Grandfather, if I kill Bai Lianzhou, the whole world will change because of my actions; if I don't kill him, then I, the adoptive father, and even the entire Violet Empire, and Xiaoyu... will be trapped in a desperate situation..."
"It's such a difficult problem..." Quinn frowned, with a sad expression on his face. "Yongmei, my grandfather's greatest wish is that you can spend your life happily and happily... But this wish may not be realized in your life. It's a pity that my grandfather is just an ordinary astrologer on this continent. Compared with someone who controls the world like you, it's not worth mentioning. I am a mere mortal, and I can't give you advice, so you'd better ask me to go back."
Rong Mei stood up and hugged the old man Quinn, and said to him: "Grandfather...I decided that I want Bai Lianzhou to survive. He is innocent. If he can make him live by my side and be my spiritual envoy, I...I hope you can help me bring him to St. Rondel."
"Of course someone will pick him up, it doesn't have to be me."
Rong Mei felt a hot chest, and Quinn's tears soaked her clothes.
The old man wiped his tears and said, "Child, no matter where he is, the world will always be a world where the strong prey on the weak. Whoever has strong spiritual power and higher wisdom will dominate everything. Don't think that the unknown danger is only Bai Lianzhou, and everyone in this world may become your opponent. Your decision will turn the continent upside down... Today's threat may be Bai Lianzhou, and tomorrow it may be Xiaoyu, the leader of a clan, an entire empire, or even the whole world. The Lord and the ministers say this, can you understand?"
"You...what did you call me just now?" Rong Mei asked with a trembling whole body.
