Do not sleep

Chapter 685

There has never been anything destined to be good from birth in this world, and Crow Reed was not a great magician from the beginning.

Before becoming famous as the most outstanding magician in the doomed age, Crow Reed, like most magicians of that era, often traveled around to explore the mysteries of magic in this world.

Of course, I often stay in one place for a short time because I don’t have enough travel expenses—working, opening a shop, and digging treasures in ruins with adventurers. Anyway, I can do whatever I get, without being particularly picky.

——Money is not picky.

Haha, in fact, I'm not so miserly anymore, but that's probably what it means.

About a year ago, Clow Reed was very unlucky, and he didn't know if he was accidentally hit by the curse left by the evil god when he was in an ancient ruin.

But in that year, after successively killing seven or eight bar owners who he worked for travel expenses, Crow Reed admitted in frustration that maybe he should avoid the crowd for a while.

Well, though, those bar owners who were killed by Crow Riedke weren't really nice people in the first place.

Two or three bar owners made serious mistakes when they were young and were sought for revenge. A few bar owners seemed to be fanatics of some kind of cult.

There was also a bar owner, who seemed to be interested in a little girl, climbed into the window in the middle of the night, and was killed by a wild boar that fell from the sky inexplicably.

The way of death is strange.

And these bar owners are almost all working in the neighboring towns, although they are not guilty of death, but after discovering that Crow Reed actually worked under these bar owners, and when one died, he followed the other, and then the other died too .

At this time, even if there are so many girls in the towns in this area who like handsome magicians, the situation of Clow Reed is very delicate.

At that time, there was no mind too dull to think of a magician as a devil who brought bad luck and wanted to be burned.

But when this problem clearly appeared on Crow Reed, even if no one shouted at him, Clow Reed knew that he should leave.

Then he left.

With some food and clothes tearfully presented by the girls in the town, Clow Reed, who is also a rare handsome and pleasing man among magicians, continued to embark on a magical journey.

Maybe it was something in his heart, maybe it was the guidance of fate, maybe it was just that Crow Reed felt that he should stop.

On a sunny day, reflecting the warm sunshine, Crow Reed opened a small shop in a strange town.

The small shop is really small, the storefront is not big, surrounded by walls made of wood.

Unlike the bright and clean shops with red brick arched windows next to the commercial street, Crow Reed's small shop is old and small in appearance, with the appearance that time seems to be frozen, and it seems that it does not welcome customers.

In fact, in the more than half a year since the shop opened, the shell wind chime hung at the gate to remind customers of their arrival has never sounded once.

Crow Reid is not a very patient person, after all, people who know how to endure the unchanging life rarely travel.

But inexplicably, Clow Reed's store has been open for more than half a year, and he has been staying in one place to read and think. The creation of Clow cards happened during that time.

It was an ordinary day in the small town, with the usual clear clouds and light wind. Crow Reed, who was sitting in the small shop, was making black tea as usual.

Then suddenly everything was different.

I don't know if it's the magic of time or the distortion of space. Crow Reed, who was sitting on the soft sofa with black tea, witnessed the change of his small shop with his own eyes.

As if pressing the fast-forward button, although the furnishings in the small shop have not changed, there are many strange metal products inexplicably appearing.

For example, a talking box—this one is a TV.

Also, the large case that seems to adjust the temperature - this one is the air conditioner.

Crow Reed, who was holding a cup of black tea, looked at the reality that was more mysterious than magic with great interest. In a blink of an eye, he saw that time was fast-forwarding outside the window beside him.

There were no people outside the window, and people gradually came and went. The rough linen clothing on people's bodies was replaced by more exquisite and exotic clothing. The torrent of time seemed to be moving forward quickly.

When you come back to God, everything is different.

And the only thing that still exists, perhaps only the black tea cup in Clow Reed's hand, and the soft sofa chair sitting under him.

At some point outside the window, there was a light rain, and suddenly, the shell bells at the gate of the shop rang.

This small shop, which has not had a single customer since its opening, finally welcomed such people.

Crow Reed seemed to understand something in an instant. With a clear smile, he looked at a guest who looked like a girl but was indeed a boy, and curiously pushed open the door that originally separated the two worlds. .

"Sit down." Crow Reed looked at the sudden boy friendly and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wait for me?" The boy pointed to himself in surprise.

"My name is Crow Reed, and I am a magician." Crow Reed smiled slightly.

"Hey, um, I'm Ranto Shiro." The boy introduced himself hurriedly and said.

"It's a sword Fusangshen."

Just like the poems full of exaggerations and praises, at that moment, it seemed that the gears of fate started to move.

It's not that Crow Reed doesn't believe in the existence of gods, but he is limited by the times. In the age of magic that is gradually declining, gods are indeed a long past that cannot be farther back than the world he was born in.

But even if he had never seen a god, when Crow Reed first saw Ranto Shiro, he also keenly felt that something was wrong.

It's not that what Ranto Shiro said was wrong, but the identity of 'Touken Fusangshin' is a bit wrong.

In the conversation with the Token Fusangshen who claimed to be Ranto Shiro, Crow Reed listened to Ranto Shiro talk about the existence of the current Government of Time from the origin of their Token Fusangshen, including them and time travel The reason why the army fought.

Listening to these things, Clow Reed finally understood where his subtle feeling came from—these swords were man-made.

Man-made gods, what an incredible thing!

"Is Kuro a magician in this world? Why haven't I heard of such a profession?" Ranto Shiro, who was inexplicably relaxed after eating snacks and black tea, became curious about Kuro. Reed thing.

A magician sounds amazing, but Ranto Shiro has only heard of witches and priests in this world. What does a magician do?

"Want to try it?" Crow Reed looked at Rantoshiro with a smile.

"what?"

"Divination." Crow Reed said with a clear smile, looking at Ranto Shiro.

"My shop is a divination shop."

"Divination?" Rantoshiro asked with interest, "Is it the kind of divination where you can know your future?"

"Then is your divination accurate?" Ranto Shiro was a little skeptical.

It can accurately predict the future. If such a powerful divination really exists in their government of time, Rando Shiro and the others should know about it.

But, if it wasn't such a powerful divination, wouldn't Crow Reed be a liar? !

"Have you ever divination for other people?" Ranto Shiro asked curiously.

"No, you are the first in this world." Crow Reid said with a smile.

"..." Ranto Shiro.

Sure enough, it's still a lie!

"After completing this divination, my Clow card should be completed." Crow Reed looked at Rantoshiro and said seriously.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, it's your choice."

"Clow card?" It was something he had never heard of before, and Ranto Shiro continued to wonder.

"This is it." Clow Reed pointed to a set of unusually exquisite cards on the coffee table, and said, "After completion, these Clow cards will have life."

"Cards have life? Sounds so interesting!" Ranto Shiro tilted his head, made up his mind, and said.

"Then I'll do a divination!"

"However, I want to ask a question." Ranto Shiro asked before divination.

"If these cards have life, what will they look like?"

What would an inanimate object be like if it were given life?

Rantoshiro didn't seem to have thought about it. This question seemed to be about the future of Clow, but unexpectedly it also fit Touken Fusangshen's business.

Crow Reid smiled, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Ranto Shiro, and said something very solemnly and relieved.

"It will become hope."

If the cold object without any consciousness in the world is "nothing", then the expectation given without asking for anything in return is called "love".

Combining [nothingness] and [love] through artificial means is hope. 【Note 1】

"Kuro seems to have said that when he used to divination to that Ranto Shiro, the result was very bad."

In the park of Tomoeda Town in the middle of the night, while swinging on a swing and recalling this place with his companion, Judgment Moon, Kerberos said hesitantly.

"'Life is accompanied by bloody storms, even if there is a short period of peace, it will not last long, such a sharp sword will die on the bone-covered battlefield sooner or later', it seems to be this sentence."

This is the sentence, in fact, Judgment Moon and Kerberos are very clear, they will not forget every word that Clow Reed said to them.

"That brat... I mean, that Ranto Shiro who is next to the Five Tigers is very different from what Kuro described." Ruberos thought for a while.

Perhaps this Ranto Shiro was not the one Clow Reed had met at all.

Or maybe, Crow Reed lied... Anyway, this is not the first time, Crow Reed also said that Sword Fusangshen is easy to deceive.

The result is miles!Look at the five bears back!

……fraud.
