Chapter 175: Fate and the Law of Surprise
"The Law of Surprise in fatalism? As expected of you, Little Yaojing, even choosing a servant is so special."
Clearly, Dorothy had just dressed up her "SP" heart in high-sounding words, but this didn't prevent Senior Miya, in whose eyes her lover was perfect, from turning the beauty filter to the max.
The Golden Princess looked at her with admiration, which made the Home Witch feel a bit ashamed herself.
Really, the "affinity" she spoke of was just seeing if there was anyone who fit her XP (fetish); it truly had nothing to do with fatalism.
Even for witches as powerful as them, there are still two forces in the world that command their awe: one is the power of time and space, and the other is the power of fate. These two forces are known as the Supreme Arts, and any witch with talent in these two areas is a genius among geniuses.
Dorothy has a little capital to boast about regarding the power of time and space, but she truly cannot fathom fate.
Among the nine schools of witches, the one that specializes in the path of fate is the Prophecy school, and this school is also the one Dorothy finds most headache-inducing; she truly cannot understand it.
She has memorized all kinds of theoretical knowledge of the Prophecy school by heart and could definitely get a perfect score on exams, but when it comes to practice...
Well, her divination relies entirely on a "I think so," depending on whether her strange intuition gives her face and moves that day.
Once her intuition gives her face that day, her intuition combined with her time-space talent allows her to vaguely see a few images of the past or future.
However, her way of cheating by using her time-space talent cannot be considered mastering fate, because she can only passively accept it and cannot change it.
She has tried to change her own fate many times, and the results proved that the future she saw was bound to happen; no matter how she tried to change it, it was to no avail.
For example, when she did her first divination as a child, she saw herself happily opening her wallet under a tree. To this, she simply gave her wallet to her father, Adam, for safekeeping, thinking that if her wallet wasn't with her, she couldn't possibly see it.
As a result, Adam came back the next day and told her with guilt that the wallet was lost, and gave her double the pocket money as compensation. But this didn't stop Dorothy from feeling the heartache. Fortunately, being the money-grubber she is, she had the habit of casting a tracking spell on her wallet, so she rushed out and finally found it.
It was only when she finally found the wallet happily and opened it to take a look that she noticed the surrounding environment.
Well, the wallet was under a tree, and she had just happily opened the wallet under the tree.
From that moment on, Dorothy felt a bit of awe toward fate; after all, seeing the future but being powerless to change it is truly uncomfortable.
And those who truly master the power of fate can freely change fate; they can make their fate flow toward the results they want.
For example, Senior Miya in front of her.
Senior Miya's talent, Golden Law (SSR), is a typical fate talent. As long as she wants, she can soon reach a future where she picks up money as soon as she goes out, or lies at home and money falls from the sky.
Sigh, in the end, time and space can only be called kings, but fate is truly the supreme.
As for the Law of Surprise that Senior Miya just mentioned, that is the game that believers of fate like to play the most.
Speaking of which, Dorothy's birth was the result of the Law of Surprise. Back then, Yufillia chose Adam because of that diviner's request: the handsomest man she saw while walking around her territory would allow her to give birth to a child with the best talent.
This kind of random uncertainty is the so-called Law of Surprise.
And this thing is sometimes truly unreliable. For example, one person helps another, but requires the other person to take the first thing they see belonging to them as a reward upon returning home. As a result, the person sees their wife and children coming out to greet them at the door as soon as they get home.
That's very awkward, isn't it?
However, if you aren't very serious and are just playing around, it's not bad. The Law of Surprise game is indeed one of the best ways to perceive the power of fate, and playing it occasionally is fine.
So Dorothy also smiled and turned to look at Audrey and Alice beside her, then said.
"I reckon two servants in the club is about enough. So, you two each name one thing, and then we'll just wander around here. If the first alien race we encounter has something in common with what you each said, that will be the servant we need."
Hearing the Home Witch's words, Alice and Audrey also became interested. The two thought for a while and then gave their answers.
"Pure white stained red by fresh blood."
This was Alice's answer. The little witch was just a bit thirsty, so she naturally thought of blood, but saying "blood" directly was boring; after all, most living things have blood in them. So she looked at a pure white angel statue nearby and said so.
Audrey beside her couldn't think of anything for a moment, but she noticed Alice looking at the angel statue, and her eyes lit up.
"Then I want a holiness shrouded in darkness."
The little fox manipulated her small puppet and said.
Dorothy: "......"
Hearing these two propose such tricky requirements, the Home Witch was also dumbfounded.
Are you two playing with me? Can't you name some normal elements? Why make it so complicated? Alice is clearly hungry, but Audrey, why don't you ask for a "colorful black"?
"Interesting, both are quite fun. Then let's settle on that."
Before the Home Witch could object, Senior Miya beside her clapped her hands and said with great interest.
Facing this three-to-one situation, Dorothy couldn't really say anything.
Well, it's just a game anyway; having some difficulty makes it more fun. Let's leave it at that. If we can't find them, so be it; it even saves money.
She comforted herself with that thought.
"Then, Senior, do you have any places you recommend looking at?"
Dorothy wasn't familiar with this Talent Market and didn't know where to start, so she simply left it to fate and let Senior Miya decide.
"Hmm, let me think. Since there are no specific requirements, there's no need to go to the counters in the business hall. Let's go directly to the exhibition hall in the back. There will be talent shows by elite talents specially selected from the market. It's quite good, and many witches like to go there to pick servants."
Senior Miya also thought about it carefully and finally suggested this.
And this made Dorothy pause again.
Good heavens, a talent show area? Isn't this just a high-quality slave auction area from the past?
However, it does sound quite interesting. Speaking of which, she has been saving money all these years and has never experienced the "auction house" essential for transmigrators. It's really a disgrace to her predecessors. Let's go broaden her horizons today. I just didn't expect my first auction to be so special.
.... Home Witch's mood is complicated.... ===== CHAPTER 176 =====
