But for Luo Wei, the correct answer had already been clear. What the other party saw was exactly the future he had just predicted, and in that result, Luo Wei did not leave obediently, but continued to look for her here.
However, despite carrying the note of absolute future vision, nothing is truly absolute. As he said, the future is not static, but ever-changing, with countless possibilities.
To give a simple example, if the mother of Guanbuzi City predicted what he would have for dinner tonight and made a bet with him, then Luo Wei only needed to skip dinner or deliberately avoid it to change the predicted future.
If we must analyze it, the future is an unknown event that is determined and will not change. The final right of interpretation belongs to the source. Predicting the future can only be said to be seeing one of many possibilities.
The absolute future vision possessed by the mother of Guanbuzi City is to see all the possible futures of a person, and then choose the most likely one to tell the other person, and then through some kind of verbal induction, lead him to the predicted future.
Luo Wei thought seriously in his heart, and at the same time began to analyze the absolute future vision possessed by the mother of Guanbuzi City.
As if she had noticed what Luo Wei was thinking at the moment, the mother of Guanbuzishi, who was sitting in front of the stall, suddenly laughed out loud.
"Haha, you're really an interesting young man. You're right. The future is ever-changing and cannot be fully understood by prediction."
"Although I also want to answer your inner questions, I don't understand the complex reasons behind them. I'm just an ordinary fortune teller, not a prophet who can predict the future with 100% certainty. The rumors you heard are probably just urban legends."
"Urban legend?"
"Urban legends can't easily penetrate people's minds, but since you say it is, then so be it."
Luo Wei thought to himself and did not argue about this issue.
"Well, nice to meet you, Mother of Guanbuzi City." Then, he nodded again, and looked at the old man who appeared in front of him, and spoke very friendly. After all, the other party was not only a prophet but also an old man, and he might need help from him this time, so he kept a low profile and gave the other party enough respect.
"My name is Luo Wei. I'm a magician who passed by here. I'm very tight-lipped and haven't spread the news of your existence."
"Well, thank you for your understanding young man."
The old man nodded slightly with a smile on his face, and seemed to be quite satisfied with Luo Wei's attitude.
"I don't want to be known to your world, nor do I want to get involved in too much trouble. I'm just an ordinary fortune teller. If I'm rumored to be a prophet with 100% accuracy, then I'd better not do fortune telling anymore."
"Please rest assured, I won't do anything so boring."
"I believe you, young man."
"Then let's get straight to the point, old man. I believe that with your keen eyesight, you can clearly see the purpose of my visit."
After a brief introduction, Luo Wei sat on the bench in front of the stall of the Mother of Guanbuzi City like an ordinary customer, and then spoke to the Mother of Guanbuzi City in front of him. His eyes passed through the black hazy veil and stared straight into the other's water blue eyes.
"I would like you to help me predict what will happen in the future."
Predicting the future?
"Okay, I'm going to get started then."
The mother of Guanbuzi City nodded, then she raised her head and began to look at the young man in front of her with her blue eyes. After a brief observation, she seemed to have seen something interesting, nodded slightly, and then slowly spoke to Luo Wei again.
"That's really interesting, young man. The secrets hidden in you are far more mysterious than I imagined."
Luo Wei: "..."
"Your situation is very special, and your origin is quite bizarre. It's as if you don't exist in this world. There's no trace of you in the future."
"……so?"
"So, I'm sorry, even my eyes can't see your future clearly."
The mother of Guanbuzi City shook her head slightly. This was the first time she had encountered such an abnormal thing.
Unexpectedly, there are people in this world who cannot see the future with her eyes. This is really surprising.
In response to this, Luo Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, and then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's okay, it's probably because of my own problems."
"maybe."
The mother of Guanbuzi City nodded, then smiled. She looked at Luo Wei and said playfully, "Although I haven't seen your future, I saw some very interesting things while observing your future. Would you like to hear about them?"
"Interesting things?"
Luo Wei nodded slightly, also interested in what Guanbuzishi's mother said, and then asked, "Please speak."
"Well, actually, when I was observing your future, I accidentally saw a very strange man in the hazy space."
"A strange man?" Luo Wei immediately perked up.
"Yes, a handsome man with long white hair."
The mother of Guanbuzi City smiled slightly and continued her vivid description, "Just now I saw a very beautiful sea of flowers. There were all kinds of beautiful flowers blooming there that I had never seen before. The scenery there was so beautiful that it didn't seem like this planet. And in the middle of that lush sea of flowers stood a tall white tower."
"As if he had noticed my silent gaze, a handsome man who was taking a nap on a high tower slowly opened his eyes and looked at me with a smile. He wanted to tell you something through my mouth—"
"hiss……"
Luo Wei took a deep breath. At this time, he had already guessed what was going on.
"Ah, ah, what an interesting existence! It's actually able to evade my eyes and the gaze of the entire world, existing alone in this world that doesn't belong to you... This is the first time I've seen such a strange phenomenon, big brother."
"But, unfortunately, your future doesn't exist in the records of this world~"
"Instead of wasting time and effort searching for absolute future vision or clairvoyance to observe the direction, why not participate in it yourself? The future is interesting precisely because it is unknown. Rather than claiming omniscience and omnipotence, only personal experience can truly appreciate its beauty, right? Both I and the two kings believe this, so~"
"Since you, the magical traveler from outside the world, are seeking fun, why not immerse yourself in it and experience it for yourself? Only by participating can you truly appreciate the joy."
"In the near future, perhaps I'll come visit you in person. Just look forward to it."
As if to reproduce the scene she saw more concretely, the mother of Guanbuzi City spoke in the same annoying tone, imitating a certain internet scammer high up in the white tower, causing Luo Wei's eyelids to twitch.
After all, just by listening to the description and the annoying and familiar tone, Luo Wei could guess the other party's identity.
And I can roughly understand their communication method, which is the so-called Clairvoyant chat room.
This is how those big guys who possess absolute future vision, clairvoyance Ex, or omniscience and omnipotence communicate, and they can even use this special ability to transmit messages across time.
So, was he being targeted by some shut-in who lived in the tower all year round? What he said about meeting again in the future? Could it be that Merlin was planning to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War as a Servant?
No, no?
Isn't Merlin, the internet con man, just sitting in Avalon, watching the happenings of the human world from a distance? Surely he wouldn't personally attack anyone...right?
Although he really wanted to say this, thinking that Merlin would also appear for interesting reasons, Luo Wei had no way to make an accurate conclusion on this matter. After all, trying to understand non-human things with human thinking is itself a big problem.
"It seems you know that strange man." The mother of Guanbuzi City raised her eyebrows slightly, noticing Luo Wei's strange behavior and asked, "Is he someone you know?"
"No, we haven't."
Luo Wei shook his head. "He's not even an acquaintance. He's just an online scammer who's been living on the sidelines for years."
Internet scammers who live outside the world are really powerful.
"I see, that's really interesting."
The mother of Guanbuzi City smiled again and continued, "Although I can't see your future direction, I can still see the future trajectory you have changed, such as today..."
"Because you cut off the hands of those bad guys in the alley, depriving them of the ability to continue to harm society, you indirectly changed the fate of a girl who should have been in pain because of it, and this also changed the course of many things."
"Although I can't give a precise definition of this behavior, in my eyes, it is indeed a good thing. At the same time, your actions have earned my approval, so I came out to meet you and give you some advice."
The mother of Guanbuzi City looked at Luo Wei again, and then spoke to him seriously.
"What you do is your law."
"So don't hesitate, follow your heart, young man, just do what you want to do, and I believe that in the end you will definitely gain something."
"???"
Hearing these familiar words, Luo Wei's expression was slightly stunned.
Just like: "Our hearts are as clear as a mirror, and all we do is righteous." Wasn't this the life principle he muttered to himself just a day ago? How could he still hear it here?
Although he knew that the mother of Guanbuzi City must have a hidden meaning in her words, these fortune tellers always described the future vaguely, which really made people feel troubled.
So, can we speak human language?
He wanted to ask something else, but when he saw that the mother of Guanbuzi City, who was sitting opposite him, had gently pulled down her veil, he put down his hand and smiled at her.
"I understand, old man, thank you very much this time."
"Oh? I thought you were going to question me further."
"That's what I originally thought, but after careful consideration, I don't think it's necessary anymore. There's no benefit in knowing too much about prophecies, and I'm tired of hearing that. Things will become clear when the time comes."
"Indeed, you are very smart."
The mother of Guanbuzi City nodded, and became more and more satisfied with Luo Wei in front of her.
"Thank you for clearing up my confusion. If you would like any compensation, please let me know. It will be my token of appreciation."
At this point, Luo Wei had achieved the purpose of his trip and gained some unexpected rewards.
Although there were still many questions he wanted answered, the other party had already said that that was all he had to say, so he couldn't force it any further.
"Isn't the reward clearly written? Only 200 yen per person is enough. I'm just a fortune teller who sells things on the roadside. How much money can I expect from you?"
Hearing the almost dumbfounded answer from the mother of Guanbuzi City, Luo Wei nodded slightly without saying anything else. He took out a large bill from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Here, this is the divination fee you asked for. You don't need to give me the extra change."
"Okay, now we're even. Don't come looking for me again, young man.
After taking the money on the table, Guanbuzishi's mother nodded with satisfaction, and she liked Luo Wei in front of her more and more from the bottom of her heart.
"See you soon, young man."
"Well, goodbye, old man."
After saying his last goodbye and getting the information he wanted, Luo Wei didn't want to stay here and disturb others anymore, so he turned around and left.
When Luo Wei's figure disappeared into the distance, the mother of Guanbuzi City let out a long sigh, and then couldn't help but sigh.
"What an interesting young man! How long has it been since I've seen such a strange situation? It's true that if you live long enough, you'll encounter all sorts of interesting things."
"Although I can't help you much, I still hope that you can one day reach the future you desire."
After saying this, the mother of Guanbuzi City let out a light breath, and her figure gradually turned into a ball of white smoke in the darkness and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

……

Germany.
Einzbern Castle.
"Are you talking about the famous Grand Puppeteer... Aozaki Touko?"
One night, Emiya Kiritsugu and his wife Irisviel were awakened from their sleep and called before Ahadon, the head of the Einzbern family.
"Yes, it's the magus who was granted the Grand Rank by the Clock Tower, the descendant of the previous Fifth Mage, Aozaki Touko. She recently sent a letter to the Einzbern family via her puppet. She said she was traveling through Europe and had heard that the Einzbern family's android technology was exceptional, so she planned to visit and observe them soon."
Ahadon looked at the two people in front of him and spoke slowly.
"That notorious Grand Puppet Master is actually coming here in person..."
Upon hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression suddenly became serious.
Obviously, the name of Aozaki Touko is not unfamiliar to him, a magician killer who has been walking on the edge of life and death for many years.
"Is the other party really here just to covet the Einzbern family's android technology?" Irisviel was stunned and asked.
The Einzbern family's heritage dates back to before the first year of the Western calendar, and is undoubtedly a long-standing heritage. Its prototype is the workshop established by the disciples of the magician who realized the third magic.
Although the workshop was later abandoned and unattended due to many reasons, over the course of a long period of time, the remaining androids of the Einzbern, even though they had been abandoned by their creators, continued to operate the workshop built by the magicians with their pure ideals - to save mankind and reproduce miracles, thus forming the Einzbern family, one of the three great families today.
The Einzberns now possessed the extraordinary homunculus technology inherited from the Third Magician's apprentices, so it was only natural that they would attract the interest of the Grand Puppeteer.
