Chapter 1057 Queen of Destiny
"My friend, Theo! Do you want to come to my house right now?"
"Well…" Theo scratched the back of his head, looking down as if he had some trouble.
"If you can't, then it's fine. I won't force you to stay… Anyway, I just want to say I am extremely grateful for that insight, allowing me to advance even further." The Dark King shrugged.
"No. I mean, I have another destination to visit in three weeks… The trip will take around a week, so I think I can stay two more weeks here to polish my Control." Theo explained.
"Oh? Another destination? Where is that? I am from here, so I might know about that place even though you and I know it by a different name. Just give me the description."
Theo hesitated for a moment. If he said the location, there would be a chance for the monsters to come because of someone's order. However, the Dark King was an upright person, so he decided to share the location. "It's the sunken island."
"Sunken island…" The Dark King thought for a moment before remembering a certain place. "Ah. Is that the island that resurfaces every few years? I don't know much about the details, but I once visited that place."
"I think we're talking about the same island." Theo nodded in agreement.
"In that case, you should pay a visit to the governor of that island. Do you know that the island resurfaces every few years because it needs blood?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Blood?" Theo raised his eyebrows, never expecting to hear such a horrifying word.
"Yeah. Every time that island resurfaces, it allows everyone to enter the island by giving numerous herbs that have been cultivated under the sea. It offers such a thing because they want blood, the blood from the land inhabitants.
"That blood will be used to maintain a kind of barrier. Though, I'm not very sure about the condition either. In any case, the island owner won't do anything to you since blood is bound to be spilled on that island."
"Certainly." Theo nodded in agreement. He could see that way because the island was dangerous.
"Still, you should pay a visit to the governor."
"I am not very sure about that governor. Is he friendly?" Theo tilted his head in confusion. "I'm not planning to fight someone too powerful…"
"She is known as the Queen of Destiny. She has a Destiny Order. If you visit her, you can actually get free divination from her. As for a fight, she is the one who doesn't want to fight." The Dark King thought for a moment. "As long as you come to her place and cut your hands, offering some blood while saying 'I've come to visit the Fate Queen,' you should be able to enter."
"Mhm? I don't think I will go, considering I have promised to move around the island with three other people." Theo shook his head, ultimately rejecting the idea.
"I think it's fine. You should know that the sea creatures will attack you when you visit that island, especially if you're a Mythical Rank Expert, right?"
"Yes."
"That's for a reason. She doesn't want to be visited by a nobody. Hence, she is holing herself there, waiting for a King or a Queen to visit. Yes. She is waiting for someone like you."
"Still, won't it be a problem if my friends bring more people to excavate that place just to meet her?"
"I already told you the blood is for a barrier, right?"
Theo nodded.
"No matter how hard they're trying to drag her out, she won't come out. Only because you are there can you visit her. Unless they bring another Order holder, then you can't visit her."
"I'm just afraid she's getting angered." Theo sighed.
"It's fine, I think. Just warn your friends a bit more and tell them you won't take any responsibility for anything that happens if they don't heed your warning."
Theo thought for a moment and muttered. "Still, a divination, huh…"
"That's right. I don't like such a thing since my path is a journey… I don't want anyone spoiling my journey, so I refused at that time." The Dark King shrugged. "If you decide to visit her, it will be better for you to ask her for a divination, considering you're going to face some problems soon."
"Problems…" Theo fell silent as he remembered the Fist Saint. Problems were bound to come because the Fist Saint wouldn't leave him alone. At the same time, there was also a threat from the Griffith Family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKnowing a bit about the future would certainly give him some assurance in striving forward.
"Hmm…" Theo narrowed his eyes. "I wonder if it's alright to openly show my identity as a king."
"The humans don't have in-depth knowledge about it…" The Dark King agreed on something before saying, "I think it's fine. I mean, your friends… Are they strong?"
"Pretty strong, but I don't think any of them will be able to gain Order any time soon. I don't know anything about their future though."
"In that case, you should visit her. She won't give any information about Order, but if there are some clues about it, your friends might become stronger too… That is if you trust your friends."
Theo thought for a moment, thinking about Maya, Mark, and Isaac.
"Well, I'll consider it a bit, or I can simply go there myself." Theo shrugged.
"You have a clone that looks like your real body, after all. I know that it's something close to your original body, but I don't know if your clone has a destiny or not, considering it's a part of your body."
"Yeah. I will try to check it first. If it works, I won't need to bring my friends there. Although they will be useful if they become stronger, I don't think I can take advantage of them at that time."
"It's up to you. So, are you going to come with me or not?"
Theo shrugged. "Sure. I will stay for two weeks before heading to my destination. I need to consolidate my power after all."
