BXBX NOVEL Chapter 704: Nothing is meaningless (3)
And like she knew what he is thinking about Erika look at him and smiling she said
‘it is not useless’
What do you mean?’ he asks. Erika chuckles a bit and then she said
‘Because you do not see everything, you think your act is useless. It is not useless. Each act could affect something, no matter how small. Even a simple small act could sometimes have unexpected consequences. Like a rock that has been moved from its position, like a nail that is being removed from an open road, one simple act could sometime change the future in a big way’
Antonius just shakes his head, not believing her words. He thinks that Erika is just trying to comfort him. So he asks
‘Then, what did I change today?’ He asks. Smiling Erika answer.
‘Something. You changed something’
‘That is an answer?’
‘Why wouldn’t it be?’ Erika ask back. Sighing Antonius then said
‘But you don’t know what I have changed?’.
‘How could I know everything?’ she said simply. And then she laughs.
‘Then I have to return back to Egypt?’ Erika was about to say yes but then her eyes was clouded with white clouds. It was only a brief second but the words she wanted to say before change. Because she sees something else.
So, she now changed her mind.
‘No. I have a new task for you’
‘Hmm?’
‘Go to Italy. After finishing the task in Italy, then you go back to Egypt’
‘Italy? Italy where?’ He is slightly puzzled. Why would Erika suddenly change the destination to Italy. He did not notice that for a brief moment Erika eyes was clouded by a white cloud.
When that happens, usually Erika would have a new vision.
‘Go to Sicily?’
‘Sicily? Why? Do you want to contact the Mafia Capitale?’
‘That old news. No, I am not sending you there to talk with thugs. I want you to make contact with Void. I foresee a great danger around him’
‘Void? The leader of the Crime Alliance? That Void?’
‘He is nothing more than a figurehead’ Erika reply. He only nodded and then he asks
‘What do you want me to do? ‘
‘Stave off the danger of course’
Hearing this made Antonius even more puzzled. they are not exactly enemies with the Crime Alliance, but they are not very friendly with them either.
So, he did not understand Erika sudden desire to protect Void, the leader of the Crime Alliance.
‘Why?’
Smiling, she said
‘Because everyone is moving their chess pieces. One has move the Pawn. The other one move the King. So I need to also make a move. And I choose to move my Knight’ Then chuckling she said
‘And you said that you coming here is worthless. You ask me before what you change. This. You changed my mind and my thought’
Not understanding Antonius ask
‘Will it mean anything?’ Laughing Erika reply
‘Why would it not mean anything? Something change. Maybe it is this matter that you change. Or maybe if you stay in Egypt today, you might get attacked. Or any other thing that you have change by you coming here today’
Antonius could not smile even though Erika is laughing.
Because now it seems that the danger become even more upgraded. Death Monarch coming here has already giving him the headache
Now suddenly Erika wanted to contact Void, the very same enemy of Pandemonium? If not for the fact that he knew she did not plan to assassinate Death Monarch, he would be pretty alarmed right now.
Death Monarch is not a person that is easy to kill. Countless of people have tried and countless of people have failed.
What is she planning? He thought to himself.
Taking a deep breath, he then nodded.
‘Promise me, that I would not regret this’ Erika shakes her head and said
‘I don’t like making promises. But I could assure you that I would never intentionally harm my own life. I will do my best to stay out of trouble.
Antonius only shake his head because it seems like she is running headlong into trouble instead of trying her best to stay out of trouble
He was about to use the teleportation channel but before he goes he said
‘And don’t close the teleportation channel again’ Erika nodded but then she added
‘We will be moving in five days anyway. That is why I already destroy the teleportation formation’
He nodded and then uses the triangular device to open a portal. But when he enters he finally felt why that sentence that Erika said felt weird
Five days? He took a look behind and was about to say something but before his word could come through the space around him distorted and he was transported through space and time.
Erika look at the empty space in front of her and shakes her head.
‘This chess game is starting finally. I have been waiting for it.’ Smiling she look at the stars above her head and muttered to herself
‘Who would be the winner and who would lose? This is probably the most exciting chess match in the entire history of creation’ Then she rubs her eyes and she laughed like a mad woman.
‘An eye as a price. I guess some myths are based on some truth.’ She looks at the night sky, her eyes trying to see if she could see more.
She tries to etches the beauty that she saw now into her mind.
Beauty is something that should be appreciated. She wanted to remember it, because after this, she knows what she would see would be nothing pleasant.
Oracle have a burdening existence. They are the sayers of doom and gloom. So, they need to learn how to appreciate happiness when it is in front of them
Sighing she then she continued beating the fruits inside the mortar as her wait is now about to end
The night is beautiful that day. Bad days is always like that. Like it was there to contrast between beauty and ugliness.
And the stars were twinkling up there in the sky, like a beacon guiding someone
