Katie's father considered himself to be very cautious.
Early the next morning, he first appeared at the Chamber of Commerce, took stock of the accounts, explained his itinerary, and made an appointment with a chairman of the Chamber of Commerce to have lunch together. After lunch, he took a carriage to his residence on the west side of the City of Silver. After changing three carriages, four sets of clothes, and five hiding places, Katie's father, who was "fully armed", followed the dirty, stinky underground sewer to the meeting place.
"Ah, Lord White Face."
Seeing Katie's father appear at the meeting place, another cultist wearing a black mask chuckled softly.
"Hello, Lord Black Face."
Hearing his colleague's greeting, Katie's father frowned, but he was wearing a white mask, so others could not see his expression.
But Black Face obviously did not intend to stop there. He sneered twice and looked at Katie's father again.
"I heard that your business at the Chamber of Commerce doesn't seem to be going very well recently. That's really rare …"
"Please be careful with your words."
Hearing this, Katie's father's expression suddenly sank.
He was a senior member of the Day of Destruction, and also a powerful prophet mage. In fact, even if he was a prophet, the effect would be different depending on the direction he specialized in. As the Dragon of Time, Fangzheng was better at exploring and searching for fate, but Katie's father was better at changing fate.
In other words, he could transfer other people's good luck to himself, and his bad luck to others.
In the view of Katie's father, predicting the future itself was not advisable, because there were countless directions in the future, and any choice could cause unpredictable chain reactions. Maybe now you feel that you have made a reasonable and correct decision. But it is very likely that it will bring you unexpected disaster a few years later.
Therefore, Katie's father was not enthusiastic about predicting the future. In his opinion, no matter what fate was, as long as luck was on his side, he would definitely have the last laugh.
That was why Katie's father had chosen this path.
Because of this, after entering the Day of Destruction Church, Katie's father's luck had always been good. Although there were many dirty and sinister plots within the Day of Destruction Church, with the guidance of luck, Katie's father smoothly entered the Destruction Council and successfully became one of the councilors.
Of course, everyone knew that Katie's father was quite lucky. In fact, the things he took over rarely went wrong. Even if there was a mistake, it would develop in a positive direction.
Because of this, the Sacred Silver Chamber's sudden emergence of so many troubles in such a short period of time was also seen by some people with ulterior motives.
"It's just a small problem. It's not a big deal. Problems like this happen occasionally."
Although Katie's father was vexed, he still pulled himself together and replied coldly. The people in the Destruction Council were all executioners whose hands were stained with blood. To Katie's father, everyone was his competitor. There was no such thing as comradeship in the Day of Destruction Church. It was more like a wolf pack. Once any wolf realized that it was weak and harmless, it would be swarmed by the other wolves and devoured completely.
Katie's father used to be a member of the wolf pack, but now, he did not want to fall into the situation of being divided up by other wolf packs.
What made him relax was that everything was normal when he went to the chamber of commerce today, which made Katie's father heave a sigh of relief. It seemed like his plan had succeeded. If his predictions were correct, Katie should be haunted by her mother's evil spirit and suffering from the backlash of bad luck.
But it was a pity.
Thinking of this, Katie's father still felt a little regretful. The reason why he found Katie's family was because he was lucky. At that time, Katie's father had just "absorbed" the "good luck" of another competitor, so he found Katie's mother through prophecy and learned of her future.
The Chosen One.
Not everyone had the chance to encounter such a thing. Originally, Katie's father planned to wait for Katie to grow up a little more, then let her give birth to a child for him to continue the bloodline of the Chosen One and obtain better benefits. But now … the thought of having to find someone else to continue his good luck made Katie's father a little unhappy.
However, as long as there were no problems with today's ritual, there shouldn't be any problems in the near future.
Thinking of this, Katie's father tidied up his black robe and strode towards the end of the passage.
"It's almost time."
Looking at the moving red figures displayed on his personal terminal, Fangzheng revealed a smile. Right now, she — no, he had returned to his usual appearance and removed the magical girl costume. After all, the target had already entered the scene, so Fangzheng no longer needed to worry about his identity being exposed.
"Yui."
"Yes, Dad."
Hearing Fangzheng's call, Yui's little head poked out from the edge of the screen and looked at him curiously.
"Go and control the Legacy Advent. Listen to my orders and be ready to start the reassembling machine at any time."
"Okay!"
Yui nodded vigorously. Then, Fangzheng saw her instantly turn into a string of blue characters and disappear into his personal terminal.
To be honest, ever since he returned to the main world, Fangzheng did not find any powerful power in Yui's so-called "divine seed". If he had to put it in perspective, it would be that Yui had a higher priority in the electronic system than Nimf. This meant that in the fields of electronic systems, cyberspace and so on, Yui had the highest priority.
But outside the electronic network, Yui had no advantage over Nimf. She could not invade other people's brains like Nimf could, nor could she control magic, let alone adjust the information in reality to reassemble it. In other words, Yui had maxed out her "Electronic Control" skill and none of her other skills.
Compared with Nimf, who had "A" in all information skills, there was naturally a gap.
As for what happened to Katie, Kuang San had contacted Fangzheng and told him about it. Frankly speaking, Fangzheng was not surprised. It was just that Kuang San described Katie's identity as the Person of Destiny. Fangzheng was very interested.
Why? Because of luck!
The Chosen of Destiny was actually a synonym for "Europeans" in the Prophecy profession. It referred to those who were ridiculously lucky from birth until death. They would only win the first prize in the lottery, get nine out of ten five stars and one UR, critical hits every single time they hit an average A. They would only drop rare equipment when fighting bosses, and they wouldn't trigger traps even if they stepped on them.
But after learning about Katie's identity, Fangzheng finally understood why the previous trip was so difficult. The Person of Destiny had great luck, but if it was someone else, it would be bad luck. Well, basically, Fangzheng and the others had experienced what Katie should have encountered if she was lucky.
Looking at it this way, not encountering a dragon was really … good luck.
Or bad luck?
Forget it, it's meaningless to dwell on this now.
Fangzheng shook his head, stood up, and looked around.
The Day of Destruction Church did not choose a relatively remote and secluded place to hold this ritual. Instead, they chose to hold the ritual in the city center square of the City of Silver.
This was also the goal of the Day of Destruction Church. After all, only by holding the ritual here could they maximize the benefits.
But that was not important to Fangzheng.
He didn't even look at the crowd around him. He stretched out his hand. Soon, with a flash of light, a pitch-black greatsword appeared in Fangzheng's hand.
Seeing the young man suddenly take out his weapon, the people around him looked at him curiously. The guards not far away also frowned and walked towards him with their hands on the hilt of their swords.
However, Fangzheng completely ignored them. He raised the greatsword in his hand high and stabbed it into the ground.
At the same time, Fangzheng shouted in a low voice.
"Seal."
