The old man also took off his turban as if he recognized me.
“… Seil Sieghart? Is it you?”
“Are you really old Radamus?”
Frey stood there blankly, with a face of incomprehension.
The boy next to him asked Radamus with a bewildered face.
“Master… ? You know… ?”
“Everyone knows. This is the benefactor I was talking about. I didn’t expect to see you here… … .”
“Hey!? The one who changed the future Master saw and defeated that monster!? oh my god! I didn’t expect to meet you here. Listen to Master’s story and meet him… … .”
I quickly covered his mouth. Frey asked, looking at me suspiciously.
“future… ? monster… ? What’s that all about, Zeil? Have you ever met that old man?”
I sent Radamus a rescue signal with my eyes.
Unlike the disciple who didn’t notice, Radamus, who had a lot of experience, quickly intervened.
“hahahaha. I’ve met him once in the past. At that time, I told you a story that was like a novel, but this young man here changed it to say it wasn’t good. Maybe my student is talking about that time.”
“Eup!”
“Right, Zile?”
“Yeah, that’s right. I have a knack for making up stories. hahahaha.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! yes! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
When Radamus and I laughed out loud like that, Frey didn’t particularly want to pursue further.
“So what are you doing here?”
“What is it? I came to see the point. I came here because this kid said there was a very good fortune teller… … . What is this?”
Radamus cleared his throat as if embarrassed.
“Large. Side job. You know, don’t I live in the woods? I need a lot of money to feed this golden disciple.”
“For a person called a wise man to do fortune-telling here… .”
“You can call it a kind of talent donation! Ha ha ha ha!”
“is it so. Wherever you go, you need money. Then, while you are here, please take a look at the divination. I will give you the money.”
Radamus smiled.
“How long have you been looking for it?”
“Is this really going on between us?”
“Shouldn’t I also eat and live?”
“I heard that kid over there offers a 50% discount?”
Radamus glared at the kid. When a nobleman who can’t see is like this, he looks like a ghost.
“Su, Master said to bring people! They say that because you get a seat like this, no one wants to come! I couldn’t help it either!”
“Large. yes i got it Jayle. Even the wife and children next to me give me 1 gold.”
Frey asked in surprise.
“How did you know that I am a girl, as well as that child?”
“As you can see, I can see what others cannot see. Although sometimes it becomes poison.”
“… … You have to keep things a secret about me.”
“of course. It is the rule of an astrologer to keep secrets from guests.”
“thank you.”
Me and Frey sat down.
“Then, would you like to see the wife and daughter over here?”
“yes.”
When Frey handed over a gold coin, the boy quickly snatched it away.
“thank you.”
Radamus scattered things like tarot cards on the table covered with cloth.
Seeing that, I was dumbfounded and asked.
“Inspired. Didn’t you say you were an astrologer? Isn’t astrology not about looking at constellations? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a tarot card… .”
“I know one, I don’t know the other. Tarot cards are the basis of astrology. It is to read the flow of the constellations and show the future through this card.”

Every word he said seemed like a scammer. Still, since I know his ability best, I decided not to complain anymore.
“Now, draw three cards that you like.”
“uh… ? Can I draw anything?”
Radamus nodded.
After thinking for a while, Frey drew three cards.
“Turn around.”
The first card was turned over to reveal a knight holding a sword. Beside him, numerous swords were stuck on the floor.
“What is drawn?”
“There is a knight holding a sword.”
“Hmm. What about the next card?”
Frey turned over the second card.
This time the knight was on his knees, and a golden sword was placed in front of him.
“A knight on his knees. A golden sword lies in front of him.”
“Turn over the last card.”
She turned over the last card.
A grim reaper with a scythe and a broken sword on the floor.
“What picture is drawn?”
“A demon with a huge scythe… ? And a broken sword lies on the floor.”
Radamus, who had been thinking hard, opened his mouth soon.
“Are you handling a sword?”
Frey replied in surprise.
“yes. How did you know?”
“You seem to have excellent talent as a knight. However, I do not easily let go of those around me. I’ll hold onto you tenaciously, and I’ll tie you up. However, all the trials and tribulations will become more and more nourishment for you to grow. If you keep working hard and working hard, you will be able to achieve what you want.”
Frey asked happily.
“… I, really?”
Instead of Radamus, the boy next to him answered.
“Really, sister! Even if our master looks like a con artist, his astrology is amazing. I’ve never been wrong so far. So you can trust me!”
“thank you… … .”
It would be the most powerful words for her now.
Now it was my turn.
Radamus shuffled the cards again and scattered them across the table. I quickly picked three rough cards.
“Can I turn everything over?”
“… It is.”
I flipped three cards simultaneously.
However, all three were the same picture.
The reaper with the scythe we saw on Frey’s card earlier. There was no broken sword, but the Shinigami was the same.
The boy’s eyes widened when he saw it.
“Master… This… ?”
“why. Is that bad?”
Radamus groaned and said.
“Pick it up again.”
He started shuffling the cards again, and again I drew a card straight away without hesitation.
result.
“Is it the same card again?”
“again.”
third.
“again.”
fourth.
“Try it again.”
The fifth was the same.
All cards were the same.
“… … Why? Do you have any problem?”
Radamus did not open his mouth easily. He seemed to be thinking hard about something.
“Hmm… … .”
Even after 5 minutes, his mouth did not open.
‘What else did you see… . This inspirational man.’
When he didn’t open his mouth like this, I started to get anxious.
“you.”
“Me?”
“I’m sorry, but could you leave for a moment? I have something to share with this young man.”
“ah… . yes… .”
Frey got up and went out of the tent. Radamus said to his disciple.
“Pino.”
“yes. Master.”
“Use blocking magic.”
After the boy memorized the incantation briefly, the sound of the surroundings disappeared as magic was activated.
What the hell did he even use noise blocking magic to say?
“From now on, listen carefully to what I have to say.”
“yes.”
“Isn’t there the woman who just left?”
“yes.”
“That woman will one day become a knight representing the continent. He has enough talent and qualities to do so.”
I already know that.
“But he will die soon.”
“… … yes?”
It felt like being hit in the head with a hammer.
“The last card she drew. There was a grim reaper with a scythe and a broken sword, right? That means death soon. The broken sword is that woman.”
“What the hell is that… !”
“First, calm down and listen to me first.”
“… yes.”
My heart skipped a beat when I heard his words.
“My astrology is the result of this cursed ability I possess. So most of them were never wrong. The previous two cards meant that she had enough qualities and that many trials would come. But the last card can be interpreted in two ways. One is that she can’t stand the ordeal and is broken.”
“… … .”
“The second literally means death. In fact, if only a broken sword came out, the former would be correct, but the god of death… That card means certain death. It means that the god of death is already aiming for her throat.”
for a moment.
Then the card I drew is… … .
“As you may have already noticed, so do you. You drew the same card five times in a row.”
His voice was trembling slightly. Rather, it came more sincere to me. I knew it because I had already lived with him once.
that what he said was never a lie.
“Your death is certain. will die in the near future This is fate.”
“… … hahahaha.”
“I’m sorry. I hope this will come out… … .”
“Have you really never been wrong?
Radamus nodded with a bitter face.
“That’s right. So far, everyone who has drawn that card is dead. without missing a single one. The curse I possessed was as certain as unhappiness. This damn curse… He foretold the deaths of many… Even my family was no exception… … .”
Somehow I thought it wouldn’t make sense to have the same card appearing five times in a row, so I never thought I’d hear something like this.
“Think again. Is there really not a single person who deviated from the future that the old man foretold?”
“until now… … .”
At that moment, Radamus looked at me with a face that realized something.
“There was… . yes there was You were there.”
Then I nodded.
“okay… . You were the only human who changed the future I saw… … . perhaps… Yes, you might be able to change the fate I saw this time too.”
There was no more to hear.
I stood up and said.
“I will show you again. That I won’t give in to fate.”
I said this, but in fact, I was worried.
… The fact that Frey would die rather than me.
“I’m sorry. For giving me this news. They won’t take my money.”
“it’s okay. That money counts as an exorbitant expense.”
“Acts? what is it… .”
“there is. A magic word to change fate. See you next time, sir.”
“… okay. Go in carefully.”
I exited the tent after saying my final goodbyes.
The embarrassment was unavoidable. I thought I had seen a fortune for no reason, but it was a hundred times better than not knowing. so that you can make the comparison.
Frey, who was waiting in front of the tent, asked me.
“What were you talking about?”
Contemplating what to answer, I smiled lightly and blurted it out.
“We talked about the old man as a fraudster and came back with only blushing.”
“Puff. Why are you so angry about watching it for fun anyway?”
“It has to be worth the money. Let’s go. Charlotte and Eden will be looking for us.”
“Ah, I guess.”
Me and Frey passed the way we came and headed back to the main road.
It was late afternoon, but there were still many people. Rather, it seemed to be more numerous than during the day.
Continuing to walk like this, I thought I would rather pass by Charlotte and the others, so I decided to sit on a nearby bench and wait.
Frey was looking around with a face full of excitement, as if he was quite satisfied with what he had heard from Radamus earlier.
In the meantime, I looked at the front in a daze while clearing my mind.
‘Besides Frey, there are people who eat Furutang… .’
A white-haired woman standing on the side of the road eating furutang with an expressionless face. Unusually, he was wearing a cloak with a cross on it.
‘Is it a knight?’
for a moment… . Cloak… … ?
Fragments of memories that suddenly pass through my head.
-In the name of the Lord, the execution begins now.
… A blue cloak with a cross on it.
It was a pattern symbolizing the Blue Cross Society.
Now I remembered who she was.
“Blue Cross Bishop Chris Valentine… … ! Why is she here?’
I hurriedly turned my head and looked at her out of the corner of my eye.
Her gaze, which had been looking around, stopped at me.
I prayed in my heart that I would not be recognized.
‘please! please! Just go!’
However, contrary to my earnest prayer, she came towards me.
