A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 68 Prophecy (Part )

The starry sky outside the window is sparkling. Grindelwald's sense of time is wonderful. Whether it is day or night, the lights and the skylight can always achieve a harmonious balance. It is neither dark and lonely, nor bright and abrupt, allowing time to slide forward imperceptibly.

Starlight streamed in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on Amamiya Ningning's profile. She had retracted her feet, her shyness faded away, and she quietly looked at Quinn who was squatting under the table.

The warmth of the toes still lingered on his palm, but Quinn had no time to savor it because Amamiya Ningning was waiting for his answer.

Her expression was neither cold nor warm. The witch's smile and the queen's aloofness were both put away, and only hope remained in her eyes.

Quinn understood. She chose to hire herself, test herself, save people, and even the massage just now. It was all for this moment.

The content of the divination does not change due to the degree of strangeness or unexpected developments.

For the system, the divination will be the thing that will have the greatest impact on Quinn in the future.

During these seven days, Quinn met Celia and Lin, made a deal with Borna, the second-in-command of the Golden Wind, was forced to sell a diamond necklace by Jack, who was suspected of being a robber, was nearly killed by Hemer in Grindelwald, and even took the Brave Potion.
But none of this matters to the system.

The thing that has the greatest impact on the future is actually foot massage, no, it is Amamiya Ningning's request.

A trace of surprise flashed in Quinn's eyes. Would whether he agreed to take her to Earth have a profound impact on the future?
"Take you to my world," Quinn said cautiously, "What does that mean?"

"That's where you come from—"

Amamiya Ningning put her hands on her ankles and said leisurely, "That's where I want to go."

"."

"You want to go to the Western Continent?" Quinn started to act stupid.

"Not the Western Continent."

"Is that my hometown, the East Country?"

"Your hometown is not the East."

Her feet were stacked together, and from Quinn's perspective he could see the dizzying marks of flesh left by her ankles on the inside of her thighs. She wrapped herself tightly around herself like a curled-up hedgehog.

"You know what I'm talking about."

Quinn scratched his head and then played dumb: "What are you talking about?"

Amemiya Ningning stopped talking and just looked at him. The hedgehog looked a little unhappy.

The awkward silence lasted for a full half minute. Wangcai was snoring, and the gurgling sound set the tone for the silence.

Quinn's legs were numb from squatting, and he finally lost.

"Okay. If there really is such a place, what would you like to do there?"

"I just want to go."

"That's not a nice place."

"I also need to go."

".But it's not that bad."

Quinn sighed slightly: "What exactly are you going to do? You have to give me a reason-"

"Go play."

"Oh, then I wish you a happy time." Quinn patted his knees and stood up: "My hometown is Litang in the Western Continent. As for the place you want to go, you can wait for the hero to appear and then ask him."

He was about to walk away when two legs blocked his way like chopsticks.

The hedgehog stopped shrinking and said in a lost tone:

".I want to find someone."

Find someone?

"Looking for my dad."

Quinn's eyes widened suddenly and he asked in disbelief:
"Your father...is a hero?"

He stared blankly at Amamiya Nene's face—the soft curves of an oriental woman shimmered charmingly under the starlight, her Cavendish ancestry merely a foil. Her large, sparkling black eyes were almost identical to the luster of the "brave"'s destiny.
The Emperor of the East Country in the newspaper had never given Quinn this kind of closeness. This was not a trait that could be inherited after more than six hundred years - half of the blood in her body did not belong to this world!
Many doubts were suddenly explained.

Why did the Cavendish family suddenly master the craft of piano manufacturing thirty years ago?

Why would Lord Cavendish marry an obscure country boy?

Why was the young Amamiya Ningning able to enter Grindelwald as a teacher? According to the information left by Merlin on the tombstone, this world can only accommodate two travelers at the same time, and this quota has been filled by Quinn and the seventh hero in the dark, so Ankuya said that her father was "a dead man" -

Only the missing sixth hero fits this description.

However, the Sixth Hero lived more than two hundred years ago, and no information about his life is known. He suddenly disappeared after resolving the Sixth Demon-Slaying War.

Vice Dean Grindelwald, Hemer, is over 300 years old and a contemporary of the Sixth Hero. It's not surprising that the Sixth Hero is still alive today. An old man marries Lord Cavendish and has a daughter...

But even a gang like Golden Wind could find out that Amamiya Ningning's father had visited Grindelwald more than ten years ago. If he was the Sixth Hero, why has there been no news about him in all these years? Did he change his identity and live in seclusion?
As Quinn's mind raced, Amamiya Ningning shook her head.

"My father isn't the Sixth Hero. He's just a fortune teller in a seaside city. He runs a shop at the foot of the mountain and has lived an ordinary life for over twenty years."

Fortune teller?
Quinn suddenly remembered that the system mentioned the fortune teller in the item descriptions of the silver dragon and the bathtub. These were both Amamiya Ningning's things.

Amamiya Nene looked out the window and said slowly:
"When I was fifteen, my mother suddenly told me that my father had passed away, was seriously ill, and had already been buried. She was afraid that I would worry, so she never told me. It's strange, isn't it? My father had asked me a few days ago how I wanted to celebrate my birthday-"

"My mom's grief told me it was true. My sister cried beside me, my stepmother cried too. Everyone told me he was gone, so suddenly. His body was buried on the lake island in my home. There's nothing written on the tombstone, just like he would have liked."

Quinn wanted to say "Manba out", but it was a bit inappropriate to make a joke about the plane crash at this time, so he held it back.

"But I don't believe it."

Amamiya Ningning said calmly, "My dad always likes to talk in abstract terms. He's as childish as a kid even in his thirties. The proudest thing in his life is marrying my mom. He talks about 'Reborn in Another World: He's a gigolo.' He's a completely unreliable person. But since he said he'd celebrate my birthday, he would. He never breaks his promise."

"—so I went and dug his grave."

Quinn looked at her fierce eyes, and a corner of his heart seemed to be touched, and he felt inexplicably sad.

He had never experienced fatherly love, but for some reason he felt that guy must be a good father.

"and then?"

Amamiya Ningning slowly looked at Quinn, her eyes full of indescribable meaning.

"There is no body or ashes in the grave, but there is a piece of paper. It is a prophecy."

"prophecy?"

"The first paragraph is 'Ningning, don't be angry. Take good care of your mother. Remember to add two sugar cubes to her milk every night. If one day in the future you meet someone you think is a hero, tell him the following words according to the pinyin your father taught you—'"

Quinn's eyes suddenly widened.

I only heard Amamiya Ningning say in halting Chinese:

"Stop glaring and get your hands off my baby's legs."

Quinn lowered his head in a daze - his hands were really on Amamiya Ningning's legs.

Hiss, I just pressed it and touched it subconsciously
"Now you're thinking, 'Could it be that Amamiya Ningning knows Chinese and is telling lies to deceive me? How can I verify their authenticity?' Well, the divination system's reward for you is Ningning's stockings, which are in the left pocket of your coat."

Quinn reached into his pocket and the familiar touch gave him a sharp shock.

Oh shit, there's a cheat?!
"Once you believe it, listen carefully—for a long time to come, you need to remember the following three points:"

Amamiya Ningning's Chinese has a very formal accent, like a foreigner reading Chinese characters from pinyin:
"1. The Demon King will never let you die before killing the hero."

"2. As long as you are valuable enough, the Philippine Empire won't mind you being an undercover demon."

"3. Choose the Thief potion."

"Don't think about who I am. You need to think about what the meaning of 'brave' is. This is very important. As for me, I am Spider-Man. Spider-Man never takes off his mask. I am a righteous mysterious man who is friendly to you."

"——byd, how long are you going to keep touching me? Forget it, I've already touched you. Just take good care of my daughter and don't tell her what I said."

Quinn was startled, then realized his right hand was still resting on his leg.
The old man's face turned red and he quickly withdrew his hand. The young man stood at attention.

Ahem, your daughter blocked the road with her legs herself, it’s none of my business.

Amamiya Ningning lowered her head and said, "That's all. My dad didn't let you tell me the prophecy, right?"

Quinn was speechless for a moment.

Are you two fortune-tellers, both master and daughter, so good at it?

"It doesn't matter. I'm not interested in what the hero is going to do. But can you tell me?"

Quinn heard her trembling whisper:
"Is he still alive? Quinn, I can't find my dad..."
