"Fate."

Hearing Valrhona's answer, Jenn smiled slightly, then he looked up, looked at the sky, and then suddenly spoke.

"Valrhona, have you ever heard such a story?"

"Story?"

"There was a monarch with great power in his hands, and one day he received a prophecy from a witch that he would be killed by the child born under Venus on the night of the third Wednesday, and that his country would be destroyed by it. In order to protect himself and his country, the monarch found all the children born under Venus on the night of the third Wednesday and wiped them out. But one of the survivors narrowly escaped the killing, grew up with hatred for the monarch, and went on to become a valiant warrior. Eventually, the warrior joined the rebels against the Empire's rule, overthrew the country, and killed the monarch with his own hands - just as the prophecy said. ”

At this point, Jenn paused, then continued.

"But the root of all this lies in that prophecy, if the monarch had not listened to that prophecy, then he would not have killed so many children, and our protagonist would not have been hunted down, let alone grow up with a grudge against the monarch, he would have become an ordinary person. And then both the monarch and his country will be safe......... Of course, it is possible that the monarch will scoff at this, but as fate says, it is very likely that a child born under certain conditions will destroy his country and kill the king for various reasons. This is not necessarily revenge, it may even be love, family affection......... So, which one do you think it is? ”

"This ..............."

Valrhona hesitated in the face of Jenn's inquiry, but did not wait for her to answer. Jenn had already opened his mouth to continue.

"Of course, we have no way of knowing the conclusion of all this, because when that monarch made his choice, his fate was already sealed............ There is no if, and it is impossible to do it all over again, so for us. The future is certain, and all we can do is pretend as much as possible that we don't know how it will all end -- because we really don't know. ”

“……………”

Hearing Jenn's words, Valrhona fell silent this time, and it wasn't until a long time later that she spoke softly.

"Thank you for your comfort, my lord. As you say, maybe that's my fate, if I actively chose to activate the slate here. Then I will surely die because of it. But if I had chosen to escape, I might have lost my life due to accidents, and the Tablet of Destiny might or may not have been activated, or I might have failed completely because of my escape -- I don't know which of these outcomes would have been better, but I think at least I could have a choice. ”

"Everyone has a choice."

As he spoke, Jenn raised his right hand. Soon, the glow of magic began to gather in Jenn's hands.

"Me too."

Said here. Jenn jerked up his right hand, then pressed down hard. I saw that with Jenn's movements, the red magic mist exploded instantly, spreading around Jenn, and then I saw these dense fogs tumbling and condensing, and soon turned into squeaky goblins. They carry pockets on their backs. Wielding a pickaxe, he is jumping and jumping excitedly. Looking at the goblins in front of him, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, a smile appeared, and then he raised his hand without hesitation. Swing forward.

"Let's start, this area will become a battlefield!"

"Quack!"

With Jenn's order, hundreds of goblins instantly let out excited screams, and they began to spread out in all directions, quickly occupying every inch of land here. I saw that under the light of the sun, the goblins jumped vigorously and trampled the ground, and soon saw that after a while, with a "buzz", a bright red stone slab instantly appeared, and then quietly disappeared again under the cover of soil and plants, at first glance it seemed that there was nothing there, everything was the same as before. But only Jenn knew that everything in front of him was no longer the same.

On the system screen, the red color belonging to us is gradually spreading, as if it is increasing rapidly like a virus. Looking at this scene, Jenn nodded in satisfaction, and then he turned his head to look at the only remaining platform in front of him, which was once the highest place in the country, but now, all that remained was such a trace of not worth mentioning. But......... Jenn clearly didn't expect to rely on these ruins to fend off an attack from the gods and their armies.

He has his own way.

【Dungeon territory detected, please select Build】

Looking at the buildings listed in front of him, Jenn raised his hand without hesitation, and gently tapped it on a high tower, and soon, another line of prompts quickly appeared in front of Jenn.

[Consume 30,000 resources to build the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws, are you sure?] 】

"Confirm."

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Jenn nodded, and then he reached out and pressed the confirmation in front of him.

The next moment, the earth began to tremble.

The tattered ground began to tremble, and the heavy layer of soil on it shattered and scattered, revealing a smooth and flat floor, and then a huge tower of tens of meters swirled out from under the soil, like a drill bit, straight into the sky. The glittering tower is lined with flowing gold and silver trim in ornate and mysterious patterns. Prismatic crystals unfurled, like guards, around the tower, slowly spinning. The glow of magic emerges from it, connecting it and enveloping the entire tower in an impregnable defense. A series of square stone slabs suspended and spread out in this way, forming a staircase to the top of the sky. And at the top of the mage tower, a round of scorching sun like a bright red sun emerged from it, and the dazzling light shrouded the large forest in front of him in an instant, and then, in the blink of an eye, the originally blue sky began to become dark, and the tumbling clouds rushed towards him, instantly enveloping the land in front of him, and for a while, the whole world seemed to fall into darkness. And the only source of light is this tower.

"Good."

Looking at the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws in front of him, Jenn nodded in satisfaction, and then he clicked on the list of buildings in front of him again.

For Jenn, this is just the beginning, and the busy is yet to come. (To be continued.) )
