"..."

"Hey, hey~ Mr. Gu Lao~~ Just admit it! He is just asking you formally. No matter how you quibble, the facts will not change!"

"...Give me back the polite aristocratic lady in the opera."

My whisper made the "noble lady" laugh, and the wooden stick hit the floor again and again in her hand:

"Hahahaha~~ As expected of Mr. Gu! You still want to tease me at this time~~Hahahaha——! I'm really sorry for causing you such a big psychological gap~~"

"It's okay, I didn't have high expectations."

"Hey hey hey~~"

Nonchalantly, the "noble lady" stuck out her tongue at me.

"Mr. Gu, this is Marcia, my friend, and also a guard."

Qian Zhihe introduced me to the true identity of the "noble lady".

"I am Alvin, one of the guards."

The boy next to him said.

I looked at him - dark blond hair, angular face, resolute and courageous expression... another guy who looked like the protagonist.

Well, all in all, I was tricked by three guardsmen brats.

"Okay, okay..."

I reluctantly raised my hands to show compromise:

"I'm unlucky to have met you..."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt like a villain at the end of my rope.

"Do you really have a divine eye?"

Qian Zhihe emphasized to me again.

"Whatever you think...didn't that kid named Maria say that I can quibble..."

"Who is Mary?! Marcia! Marcia!"

"Hey, my hearing is normal, so don't yell into my ears, and don't come near me with sticks."

"Eh~ Mr. Gu is unreasonable!"

"..."

There is no point in arguing like this. I sighed and asked Qian Zhihe:

"Have you planned to do this all along?"

"Well... the smooth implementation is actually largely due to luck. After all, we can't predict whether your divine talent will see through it in advance... But even if you see through it, it can still be used as a judge.

Do you have a basis for divine purpose?"

After her analysis, she found that predicting in advance actually increased the chance of being discovered... I was indeed unlucky.

"But no matter whether it succeeds or not, I want to try it. After that time, I decided."

The "that time" she was talking about must have been Barrick's bet.

This guy is actually willing to do this...if only he had been more vigilant.

"Okay, okay..."

At this point, it is futile to insist on a negative attitude, although I am still a little unconvinced.

"So, what do you want to do?"

My heart was beating violently, and I was sweating coldly because of my nervousness.

If they ignore my protests and report the matter of divine purpose to the lord, then all the peaceful life I have now will completely leave me.

Or...

"Hey, Mr. Gu, don't you understand yet?"

Marcia sighed exaggeratedly:

"One of the seven great gifts! What a shame that you have lived in a small town for more than a hundred years and are still just a lonely old man!"

"...Since you know my age, please respect me."

"Hey - I don't want it~~ You look about the same age as me, and besides, it's very difficult for me to use honorifics!"

"..."

Phew...Calm down, it is unbecoming of an elder to argue with children.

"Mr. Gu Lao, when you sensed Marcia and Ivan's attack just now, did you obtain multiple pieces of information about the purpose of divinity at once?"

"Yes."

I blurted out, not caring that this was a disguised admission that I had divine eyes.

In fact, I am struggling with this point: Why did the plug-in that usually did not respond suddenly work?

Speaking of which...it seems to have happened in the past...

"Because the divine gift exists for war, only in battle can the divine gift exert its full power."

"..."

"The divine eye can predict threats and, to some extent, provide ways to resolve them."

Alvin added briefly.

"...Why do you understand?"

"You have done too little research on this area~~"

"Well..."

Marcia's smug look annoyed me. I probably read more books than she talked...even though I didn't read much information about divine gifts.

"Hmph, how about it? Your spouse must not be able to tell you anything now, right? In daily life, the ability of divine purpose is considered dispensable!"

"Marcia, please stop saying a few words..."

Thank you, Qianzhihe.

"Mr. Gu Lao, in other words, you had a divine marriage more than a hundred years ago?"

Paper cranes look at me.

Hmm~~Compared to Marcia, I am more willing to answer the gentle Paper Crane...wait, a mate?

"Ah? Dating? I don't have a Dating."

"Ha?!"

When Marcia made a fuss and questioned, Qianzhihe also frowned in confusion.

"Hey, hey, aren't you confessing? You're being too stubborn..."

"Um, Mr. Gu, do you mean that you don't have a mate but you have a gift?"

"Yes."

"But...you may not know that the divine gift is attached to the destined partner..."

"I know, but it's not mine, I promise."

Huh, these kids really treat me like an ignorant old man.

More than seventy years ago, Eleanor told me:

As early as the beginning of the creation of the world, she informed the world of the basic information of divine gifts in the form of "oracles".

Except for the divine eye, other divine gifts are carried in fixed couples. This type of couples is called [divine couples]. According to legend, there are only seven in the world, but in fact there are six.

Moreover, once the divinely betrothed host is chosen, the contract will not be invalidated until the host dies.

That is "lifelong contract".

"Well..."

Qian Zhihe thought for a while and said:

"I believe that Mr. Gu Lao... has never had a divine purpose owner in the past. It is normal for the relevant records to deviate from reality."

"Well~~I support Crane!"

Tsk tsk, this guy has no opinion at all. But I’m really lucky that I don’t need to waste any more words.

"Mr. Gu Lao, why don't you join the war?"

Alvin, who had not spoken for a long time, asked a question, and the expressions of Qianzhihe and Marcia also became serious.

"Your talents were born for war, but you hold back and don't show them. Don't you think it's a waste?"
