“…There are more than ten boxes at your feet, and your smile is very pleasant. The half-opened box reflects the light of gold coins… I think either you have met Selma, or you have found the map of destiny…”

“…The cannonball pierced the deck beneath your feet, and you are fighting with the enemy. However, on the sea behind you, there are three ships flying the same flag. Your fleet should have expanded…”

“Congratulations, First Mate. Although I don’t know why you left Lewan Lees, you do have your own pirate ship…”

…

Enhanced senses and extraordinary mental power have given Du Ge an extremely keen observation ability.

Through careful observation of words and expressions, he can always accurately pinpoint the needs of his customers, ultimately turning everyone into fish in his pond.

No.

To be precise, everyone gets the future they desire.

All’s well that ends well.

After all.

In this world, witches and sea nymphs represent mysterious power, prophecy, and justice. Basically, no one would doubt a witch’s divination.

Otherwise, a group of people wouldn’t be rushing to find the witch to inquire about the clues to the Sea God’s scepter.

…

Everyone has had their fortunes told, except for the gingerbread vendor. Although it’s established that Paul is a plot character, he remains cautious.

Du Ge didn’t even look at him, treating him as an insignificant figure. He stood up and said, “Alright, gentlemen, the divination is over. But I still need to tell you one thing: fate is full of variables. You have to actively strive to achieve the results you want. If you go back and lie in bed, waiting for the goddess of fate to come, then you will end up with nothing.”

Ak Bal turned to the gingerbread vendor and said, “Let’s go, Sheldon, we should leave.”

The gingerbread vendor had previously said he would assassinate Paul but had not acted. Ak believed he wouldn’t do it anymore.

After all.

No one would want to kill a witch.

Now that they have learned many important secrets from Paul, they have achieved their goal, and there is no need to rescue the witch back to Hede Island.

“Captain Paul, can you help me divine the future?” The gingerbread vendor, seeing that Du Ge ignored him, finally put his heart at ease and asked.

When Du Ge was divining, he was always observing on the side, and in the end, he confirmed his judgment.

He is indeed a plot character and has no connection to the keywords.

Keywords are chaos, so it’s impossible to have the ability to divine. No examinee can turn divination into chaos;

If the keyword is divination, there is no need to make such a big fuss. After all, before taking away Martha Hoya, Paul had already become famous;

Of course, it’s also impossible for it to be happiness. His behavior has nothing to do with happiness, and adding a fish suffix to his name, he can’t see any meaning in it…

In short.

There are no keywords that match Paul’s current words and actions.

Since he is a native, why doesn’t he take the opportunity to divine his own fate?

Moreover.

Everyone has already had their fortunes told.

It’s abnormal for him not to have his fortune told.

“Of course.” Du Ge looked at the gingerbread vendor and nodded with a smile. “How much are you willing to pay for this?”

“I have more than eighty gold coins in my bag, and I hope you can divine my fate more clearly.” The gingerbread vendor took a bulging money bag from his waist and handed it to Du Ge with a smile.

Du Ge’s eyes lit up, but he didn’t take the bag of gold coins. Instead, he asked, “What aspect of your fate do you want to divine?”

“The future,” the gingerbread vendor said.

Du Ge’s tone was gentle, “May I know your name?”

“Sheldon Geese,” the gingerbread vendor said without hesitation.

“Are you willing to add a fish suffix to your name to increase your luck?” Du Ge smiled, increasing his persuasiveness. He still had not dispelled his suspicion of the gingerbread vendor.

“Sheldon Geese Eel.” Convinced that Du Ge is a plot character, the gingerbread vendor let go.

After all.

Many participants have gone to find Witch Hoya for divination in order to follow the main storyline.

In this world, divination is a very common thing.

And, as Paul said, fate is not set in stone. Many of those who had their fortunes told by Witch Hoya ended up being secretly killed by her!

If he divines an unfavorable fate, he can just change his future strategy.

Du Ge smiled at him again and took the bag of money from the gingerbread vendor. When taking the money, his little finger inadvertently brushed the side of the vendor’s hand, making him his private possession.

Then.

He sat back on the ground and chanted the divination spell.

The gingerbread vendor held his breath, feeling the change in his body, but his body didn’t change at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Moments later.

The light on the crystal ball disappeared.

Du Ge opened his eyes and looked at the gingerbread vendor, not speaking for a long time.

“Captain Paul, what did you see?” the gingerbread vendor asked.

Du Ge opened his mouth, hesitated to speak.

“Is it a bad future?” The gingerbread vendor smiled. “You can boldly say it, I can handle it.”

“Can I speak to you alone?” Du Ge stood up and looked at the gingerbread vendor, frowning.

The other captains were stunned, looking at the gingerbread vendor strangely, not understanding why Paul was treating him differently.

“Okay.” The gingerbread vendor nodded. After becoming Du Ge’s private possession, he would unconsciously obey Du Ge’s harmless little commands.

“Follow me.” Du Ge turned and walked to the other side of the deck.

The gingerbread vendor followed.Vito hesitated for a moment and did not follow. Du Ge had written the fate of this group of people, destined to let them leave. Following them would be meaningless and could disrupt Du Ge’s plans, which would be less than ideal.

Standing at the stern, away from the crowd, Du Ge looked at the gingerbread vendor with a solemn expression: “Sheldon, you are different from them. I saw blood and bodies, and you stood amidst them, a look of pride on your face. One of the people you killed was holding the Trident of Poseidon…”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gingerbread vendor, who had been calm until now, felt his heart pounding violently. He couldn’t help but step forward with a trembling voice and asked, “Did you really see me standing among a pile of bodies?”

Du Ge instinctively stepped back and said, “Sheldon, the crystal ball cannot be wrong. I don’t understand why you are not the captain, yet your fate turned out like this. But the crystal ball showed that you indeed stood alone in a pool of blood, surrounded by strangers you killed. I didn’t see Captain Ack, nor the Snow Dragon…”

That’s right!

I don’t even know that fool Ack, having him by my side would be strange…

First!

I’ve killed everyone, I am the number one in the Simulation Field!

The gingerbread vendor was overwhelmed with excitement, completely caught up in ecstasy. The decision he made was indeed correct, his Keywords were indeed invincible.

…

He’s definitely a contender!

I really want to kill him!

Du Ge easily verified his identity but ultimately suppressed the urge to kill. After all, he needed these people to set up his game.

He looked at the gingerbread vendor: “Sheldon, among all the people I have divined, you are the closest to the Trident of Poseidon. I don’t know what will happen after you kill the person holding the Trident of Poseidon. But undoubtedly, you are a powerful person. I want to ask you for a favor.”

“Speak,” the gingerbread vendor said, his mind clouded by the divination of the future.

“I hope you can help me kill Mahamadou in the future. I don’t want to live in fear of being hunted by him with Marsha,” Du Ge said. “In exchange, I will keep the secret of you obtaining the Trident of Poseidon.”

“Of course, no problem,” the gingerbread vendor agreed readily. Killing Du Ge would bring great risks, and if he was willing to keep a secret for him, that would be the best outcome. He did not want to become the target of everyone’s arrows.

“To be honest, if I hadn’t seen from your future that Marsha and I were not with you, I would have considered following you,” Du Ge said with a sigh of relief and a smile. “Unfortunately, I can’t. Being with you would greatly impact your future, and you might miss out on becoming the Pirate King. However, Mr. Sheldon, I hope you will not disclose the content of the divination, or it will lead to endless troubles…”
