Chapter 1070 Questions and Answers

Chapter 1070 Questions and Answers　　"Time is up. Alright. Let's hear the first question… From you." The mermaid pointed at Mark.

Mark was startled and hurriedly gave the question that he had thought earlier.

"Will I die from old age?" Mark's question was what a human could think of. However, there was a different reason why Mark asked this question.

"Why do you ask this question?"

Mark thought for a moment and explained the reasons he chose this question. "I believe that you're seeing something not far in the future. And after I learned that I played a big role in what was going to happen, I believed it's better to see whether you can see me dying in that time or far in the future."

"Mhm." The mermaid queen carefully considered Mark's question and nodded. "Passable. So, I will give the answer to your question. To put it simply, I can see you dying on multiple occasions. However, there are possibilities that you are going to die of old age too.

"As a reward, I will give this one piece of advice for you. There are two times you need to make a big choice in your life. The first one is going to come soon.

"At that time, if you choose the one with a huge risk, you have a high possibility of dying. But if you can overcome all the trials, you shall be rewarded with something that you can't think of.

"On the other hand, if you choose the safe path, you won't face trials like the former and your future achievement will be good as well… However, you will face the second big decision in your life.

"So, the one you will choose will depend on whether you are someone who takes a risk or prefers stability. That's all." She finished the divination with a smile.

"Big decision…" Mark looked down for a moment before closing his eyes. After a few seconds, he nodded his head a few times. "Thank you so much."

"Then, how about you?!" As soon as she was done, she turned to Isaac. "What is your question?"

Since he was the second, Isaac had more time to think about it. Hence, he immediately asked the question that he picked in his mind.

"I want to ask… Can Joker release the same Magic Power as you?!" Isaac's question was related to his curiosity. He remembered Theo saying that the white rock was rare and not rare at the same time. That was why Theo must know about the rock's power, and there was even a possibility of him having the same thing.

Just like Mark, the mermaid asked, "Why do you ask that question?"

"You should be able to see my future, right? In that case, I thought, what kind of question would I ask you? I thought about numerous questions, from the most common ones to the weirdest ones.

"Hence, I thought about it in another way. Instead of following what you wanted me to do, I should do the exact opposite, asking something that I want to know the most."

"But it means you ask the most common question right now. Do you think you can pass the test with that thought?" The mermaid shook her head.

"I do!" Isaac answered without hesitation. "My most common question shouldn't be in the future you've seen because the future me… No, should I say the past me now? Anyway, the past me would have asked weird questions instead of the common one."

The mermaid smiled and said, "I am afraid I will give you a lower point than your friend. That's why instead of an answer, I will give a clue… Well, that's what I told you earlier. Just follow him to his next destination and you will find the answer.

"As for the reward, I will tone it down too. Your thirst is too great. I won't deny that having that thirst will give you a big room for improvement, but it will also lead you to your destruction.

"Instead of seeing far ahead, why don't you stop and start looking around you for a bit?"

Unlike Mark's divination, this one was ambiguous and confusing. However, Isaac could understand a bit about this so-called 'thirst.'

Continuing, the mermaid asked Maya, the last person in the group. "How about you? What's the question you have for me?"

Just like the other two, Maya had her own way of answering this question. And that was to not answer her at all.

She maintained her silence and kept looking at the mermaid with a smile.

The mermaid seemed to understand her train of thought and asked again, "Why? You should be curious about so many things, right? I know you are."

Maya closed her eyes while smiling. As she said, she might be the one who wanted to know the most. After all, she was a leader as well as a businesswoman. Information and knowledge had saved her many times.

At the same time, Maya remembered what the person who gave the blessing said to her. It was clear that what Theo had was related to Order. And there was one way to prove it; she simply needed to ask that question to the mermaid.

However, Maya suppressed all desires in her heart and maintained her silence, not asking anything. This was her decision.

"Well, I guess I will give you a point slightly better than Mark. Since you didn't ask me any questions, I will give you more thorough divination."

She paused for a moment as though she was calculating another future. Her gaze became sharp for a minute before she said with a grim tone, "Your life will be filled with ups and downs.

"There is one calamity in front of you right now. If you don't have anywhere to go, you should head to the east by foot as it will become a pillar of hope in that calamity.

"After seeing the first light in the calamity, you're bound to make a huge decision that will decide your future. However, no matter your decision, your life will continuously face ups and downs.

"What you need to face tomorrow is a belief. That belief can be in the form of anything. Trust that no matter how grim it is."

*Sigh!* This time, she took a deep breath after giving the divination as though she used more power for her divination.

"Thank you very much." Maya thought the divination alone was enough to be the beacon of hope, considering it would become her trump card.

Finally, she had finished seeing their futures. Only Theo remained as an excited smile appeared on her face.

"No matter how hard I preach destiny, looking at your destiny is something that is meant to happen. Instead of fighting over destiny, I will just read it right here, right now. I wonder what kind of destiny you have." She smirked.
