年轻的戍卫官站在北方的城垛上。

他俯瞰惨白的无际大地。他见裂界的异形在茫茫雪线中结成翻滚的阴云。他见无畏的铁卫凭城列队立定，仿佛一道坚实的胸墙。

那是他原本的位置。在他尚且是个不起眼的列兵时，便已发誓成为贝洛伯格最坚固的盾牌，应与战友同生共死——哪怕是当上了戍卫官也不例外——这绝非铁卫围炉夜话时的戏言，因那克里珀正是此誓之见证。

然而，此时的他却未能出现在他应至的地点——这正是大守护者的要求。

大守护者究竟是作何考虑？年轻的戍卫官想不明白。不过，他很快就勒令自己将注意力放在眼下的战事上。

「记住，杰帕德•朗道——」
「怀疑生骄慢，怀疑生邪念。作为贝洛位格的典范，你不应有多余的思考。」

The young captain stands atop the northern rampart.

He surveys the pale wastelands before him, and watches the strange beings from the Fragmentum forming a broiling swarm in the distance amid the snow. He sees the fearless Silvermane Guards lining up in formation to guard the city, like a defensive parapet.

That was his original position. Back when he was still a humble private, he'd sworn to serve as Belobog's strongest shield and pledged to live and die with his comrades. This hasn't changed when he became a captain. This isn't some fireside joke of the Silvermane Guards, because Qlipoth is testimony to this oath.

However, right at this time, he isn't where he should be — and this is at the request of the Supreme Guardian.

What exactly is the Supreme Guardian thinking? The young captain has no idea. But he soon forces himself to focus on the conflict at hand.

"Remember, Gepard Landau."
"Doubt breeds arrogance, and doubt breeds evil. As a model for Belobog, you shouldn't overthink."

在那场极尽壮烈的战事之后，所剩无几的铁卫班师振旅，回到贝洛伯格。大守护者为了庆祝这场来之不易的胜利，立即下令召开庆典。举城上下彻夜狂欢三日有余，欢声笑语未曾间断，而庆典气氛在那场专为铁卫开设的授勋典礼上达到了最高潮。

在众人的注视下，大守护者为此役中军功最为卓著之人颁授奖励。出身于贝洛伯格望族的年轻戍卫官默默地佩戴那由地髓锻成的臂甲——轻便、灵活、强韧，同时散逸着极光般的辉彩——这是他对这件珍宝的全部印象。

如此荣耀的勋章是用多少战友的生命换来的？他逼迫自己不去想这件事。当下的他只能以笑容迎合大守护者与贝洛伯格的期待，因为这才是一名忠诚的卫士该做的。

在戍卫官将臂甲佩戴完全的那一瞬间，激烈的辉光从甲胄的连接处进射而出。下一刻，典礼的观众席上爆发出经久不息的热烈掌声。

人们看不到众铁卫盔面下的倦容——他们以为这是一场凯旋。

After the most epic of battles, the few surviving Silvermane guards made their way back to Belobog. The Supreme Guardian ordered an immediate parade to celebrate this hard-earned victory. For more than three days and nights, the whole city reveled in a carnival with great laughter and joy. The celebration reached its climax at an awards ceremony for the Silvermane Guards.

Under the watchful gaze of the crowds, the Supreme Guardian presented an award to the greatest soldiers for outstanding military service. This young captain from a noble house quietly puts on the arm armor forged out of Geomarrow — Light, flexible, and strong, while radiating a light reminiscent of auroras — That's the only impression he had of this treasure.

How many of his comrades' lives had been exchanged for such a glorious medal? He forces himself not to think about it. For now, he could only meet the expectations of the Supreme Guardian and all of Belobog with a smile — because this is what a loyal soldier must do.

The moment the captain finishes putting on the arm armor, a brilliant beam of light shoots out from the joints between the plates. The crowd erupts into a spontaneous and prolonged applause.

Nobody sees the weary faces beneath the helmets of those Silvermane Guards — they merely thought this is a triumphant victory.

大守护者的决策是正确的。

战事过后，贝洛伯格的许多人终于暂歇一口气，重新拾起那尚不完整的简单日常。然而，包括戍卫官在内的人们并不知道——待虚伪的和平过后，他们即将面对的只有更加惨烈的长期拉锯；若无外物干涉，这旷日持久的战事将以贝洛伯格的陨落作结。

此时，他正在寝室中检查自己的盾牌「壁垒」是否运转如初。这架沉重的力场防护装置由他的姐姐用琴盒亲手改装而成一一如果真出了什么问题，可怜的戍卫官恐怕又要向那位历来放飞自我的摇滚明星求援了。

「杰帕德，如果，我是说如果，」他想起她的话，「如果有一天，大守护者命令你放弃贝洛伯格的人民，只为了实现她的某个目的…你会怎么做？」
「她绝不会那么做。她是大守护者。」他很坚定。
「我是说如果。」她看着他。
「我不清楚你为什么如此发问，但我已向克里珀立下存护誓言。我将捍卫贝洛伯格与她的人民，不计任何代价——当然也包括我的生命。」
「如果有一天，保护人民意味着违抗大守护者的命令，并且无论如何选择都会令我深陷险境，那我仍会选择前者。因为这才是我该做的事。」
他们沉默。然后，她大笑。
「杰帕德啊杰帕德……」

「你不愧是我们朗道家的人。」

The Supreme Guardian made the correct choice.

After the war, many residents of Belobog could finally let out a sigh of relief and pick up the pieces of their simple lives. However, not even the Captain himself could have imagined that after this facade for peace, they would face an ever more tragic all-out war. Without outside help, this protracted war would usher in the demise of all Belobog.

Right now, he is checking whether his shield, Earthwork, is still functioning as before. This heavy force field device was hand-crafted by his sister out of an instrument case — and if anything is broken, the poor captain would have to rely on his rockstar of a sister to help fix it.

"Gepard, if — and I do mean, if — " he thinks back to her words, "If one day, the Supreme Guardian orders you to abandon the people of Belobog to complete some goal of hers... What would you do?"
"She would never do that. She is the Supreme Guardian." He was resolute.
"I'm speaking hypothetically." She looked at him.
"I'm not sure why you're asking, but I've pledged an Oath of Preservation to Qlipoth. I will protect Belobog and her people at any cost — including my own life, of course."
"If one day, protecting the people means disobeying the Supreme Guardian's orders — and if either choice would land me in danger — then I'd still choose the former, because that is what I'm supposed to do."
They both fell silent, before she laughed out loud.
"Gepard, oh Gepard..."
"You really are a Landau, aren't you?"

年轻的戍卫官站在北方的城垛上。

他侧目向那位尊贵的守护者。他见她只是昂首眺望着风雪深处，仿佛城下的一切都与她无关。她的子民无法使她欢乐、愤怒、哀伤或是惊惧。她的眸子中只有无尽的空虚。

大守护者究竟是作何考虑？年轻的戍卫官极尽所能思考，却没有答案。

象征发起进攻的悠扬风笛声在大气中炸响，刹那间撕碎了雪幕——身着蓝衣的骁勇战士们响应乐声的召唤，纷纷架起长戟，将枪头对准了如风暴般聚涌的异界怪形。在炮火的掩护下，他们开始了有死无生的冲锋。

杰帕德•朗道，你又作何考虑？年轻的戍卫官极尽所能思考。

「记住，杰帕德•朗道——」
「你将捍卫贝洛伯格与她的人民，不计任何代价——绝不要辜负你应守护的人们…勿令朗道家蒙羞！」

这一次，年轻的戍卫官的内心求得了答案
——他向战场走去。

The young captain stands atop the northern rampart.

He glances out the corner of his eye at the esteemed Guardian. He sees her head held high as she gazes into the blizzard, as if nothing in the city below has anything to do with her. Her people could not make her happy or angry, sad, or scared. There is only emptiness in those eyes.

What exactly is the Supreme Guardian thinking? The young captain racks his brains, but could not find any answer.

The cacophony of elegant bagpipes explodes in the air to signify the beginning of the assault, instantly shredding the snow curtain — and those brave warriors in blue uniform respond to the call, lifting up their halberds one after the other and pointing the tips at the swarming hordes of alien monsters. Beneath the cover of artillery, they commence their charge to the death.

Gepard Landau, what should you think about this? The young captain racks his brains.

"Remember, Gepard Landau — "
"You will defend Belobog and her people at any cost — you will never let down the people you're supposed to protect... Never bring the Landau name into shame!"

This time, the young captain finally finds his answer
— as he strides out towards the battlefield.

多年以后，符玄总会想起自己获准踏入「图书馆」提问的那一日。

「你在想什么？」戴着墨镜的盲眼老者手拄拐杖，侧首静待她的回话。

「所有那些可以选择的时刻…是否早已注定？还是说，如果在那一瞬间，我若能算得更准一些，哪怕再精确万分之一，我就能做出正确的选择，让他们不必离开？」少女半闭双眸，似问似答。

「每时每刻的我们，都站在自己足迹布下的迷阵中心。」盲眼老人轻轻顿了顿手杖。「我给不了答案。我只能给予问题…和看见问题的眼界。而你一路走来，向我所求的想必也不是答案。」

「那就给我『眼睛』吧。无论命运是否从一开始就被注定了，身为卜者，我都想看得更清楚一些。」

「如你所愿。但仙舟人的肉身长存，接受我给予的『眼睛』，就意味着接受永恒的痛苦。比起求知工具，它会更像是…『刑具』。」

「这岂不是正合遍智天君的信条——知识要用苦痛来换取。我不想在未来的选择上犯下同样的错误。」

……

在受赐「眼睛」的昏昧中，她看见了许多往事。

她看见幼时的自己正襟危坐，手不释卷。她看见父亲怜爱地点着她的眉心，自豪地称赞她聪慧灵秀。她看见长辈向她展示符氏一族作为玉阙仙舟观星士世家的荣耀历史。她看见卜者们运筹如仪，为她占得辉煌的未来——她将登上「太卜」的宝座。

「这就是我的未来？」

「一饮一啄，莫非前定。这就是你的宿命。卜测结果已上呈太卜竟天大人，他答应亲自为你督教课业。这可是天大的福分啊。」

所有过去交叠在概率的烟雾中，似梦似真，在意识的边缘变化来去，延伸成数不尽的未来。她尽力分辨，在浩瀚的瞬间里寻找她正式成为卜者的那一日。

Even after the stretch of many years, Fu Xuan would always think of the day she got permission to enter "the library" and ask her question.

"What are you thinking about?" The blind elder wearing sunglasses awaited her response in silence, tilting his head and holding to his cane for support.

"Are all those moments when we can make a choice... already fixed by fate? Or is it that, if I managed a more accurate divination by even the most minute amount at that time, I could have made the right choice and prevented them from leaving?" The girl's eyes were half-closed, and she spoke her question akin to an answer.

"Across each and every moment, we stand at the center of a maze laid out by our own footprints." The old, blind man softly shifted his cane. "I cannot give you an answer. I can only give you a problem... and the capacity to perceive the problem. And considering the journey that brought you here... what you seek probably isn't an answer anyway."

"Then give me the 'eye.' Regardless if destiny is foreordained or not, as a diviner, I wish to possess a clearer sight."

"As you wish. But the people of the Xianzhou are ageless in flesh. To accept my 'eye' means to bear timeless pain. Rather than a tool, it is more like an.... 'instrument of torture.'"

"Aren't these the very words of the Wisdomwalker's creed? Knowledge exchanged with pain. I do not wish to make the same mistake in my future choices."

...

In the stupor that followed the bestowal of her "eye," she witnessed a great many past happenings.

She saw herself during childhood, sitting upright and diligent in her studies; her father tenderly brushing the point between her brows, proudly praising her intellect and wit; her elders revealing to her the Fu family's gloried history serving as the Xianzhou Yuque's stargazers. She saw the operations and rites conducted by diviners, divining the brilliant future for her where she would claim the throne of master diviner.

"Is this my future?"

"All things are fated and should not be sought out by human efforts. This is your destiny. The divination results have been submitted to Master Diviner Jingtian, and he has agreed to personally supervising your tutelage. This is an immense fortune you have been blessed."

All the past is layered in the mists of probability, shifting on the edges of consciousness between dreams and reality, and extending forward into futures uncountable. She strove to find the day she became a diviner in the vastness of all moments.

那一日，玉阙仙舟的瞰云镜下，符玄拜见业师。但她无法置信眼前之人就是族中长辈奉若神人的太卜：男人穿着半旧的飞行士短打，行止无仪地箕坐在地，专注望向投影阵列里不断变化交织的光点。

「末学符玄，向太卜大人问安。」犹豫半天，少女开口。

男人目不稍动，只是竖起一指，示意她看向图示。符玄留意到他的手不知为何被换成了木制机巧。「玉阙的鸣珂卫正在塔拉萨布防，策应曜青舰队围剿孽物。你应该有所耳闻吧？不过，命中注定他们赢不了这一战。」

「哦？曜青舰队武德昭昭，罕逢敌手。按战报所示，我军人数和战舰倍于步离人的猎群。怎么会有攻而不克的道理？」

「问得好。看来你不是一个轻易认命的学徒。」男人起身拍了拍沾灰的衣摆。「卜者知命而不认命，尝试在不同的可能中寻求最优的选择，这很好。不过有时候，无论你怎么选，命运都只有摆在面前的一条道路。当推占完毕时，面前只剩下凶与大凶两个不同结果时，你会怎么选？」

「…两害相权，自然是取其轻者。这是卜筮学的第一课。」

「但若以人类的眼界，无法权衡轻重呢？」男人转过身来。

「这次推占，是由新布成的阵法『十方光映法界』演算所得。结果有二：借调曜青仙舟的鹤羽卫，或是改调方壶仙舟的玄珠卫，二者可择其一。取鹤羽卫，固然能仗其兵势，强攻一时，但此后再无告捷之机。取玄珠卫，则必须忍受方壶所处之地间关迢迢，要将战期拖延六个月之久，忍受敌人多次反扑，损兵折卒自不必提。但能坚持守势直至援军到来，便有胜利的可能。」

「想来他们选了前者。」

「是啊。卜算结果只能参赞谋略，却不能代替将军下决定。他选了眼前损害最小的方案。但我也没算错，这场失败是命中注定的结果。」

「按兵书倍则战之的原则，调用曜青的军力也未必是下下之选。何况，世无定事，太卜怎么就能如此肯定，说的好像一切必然会发生？」

「世无定事？」男人重重叹了口气。「我原本也这么想…最初得出占卜结果时，以为是计算出了差错，但重演之后，结果并无变化。于是我决心亲自上场求证。」

「这几周以来，我深入塔拉萨，与孽物作战，取得当地的水居者文明的信任。得到了一条惊人的消息：受其月亮扰动，一个月后，被塔拉萨人称为『恶魔潮』的大潮汛即将降临。」

「若无方壶持明的云吟师相助，无人能在那般恶劣的环境下与怪物持续战斗。这条情报不见载于任何博物志，也不载于我军的智库。而为了多此一举地证实它，我付出了这只手作为代价。」

男人苦笑着高举木手晃了晃。「有时候，命运的道路自始至终只有一条。一切都是命中注定的。」

「对了，不必叫我太卜。从今天起，你应当称我为『师傅』。」

On that day, Fu Xuan sought her master beneath the Cloudpeer Telescope of the Xianzhou Yuque, but found herself unable to believe that the man before her was the master diviner her elders had regarded so reverently. He wore a somewhat aged pilot's outfit and was unceremoniously seated on the ground with his attention dedicated entirely to the shifting of the interwoven light rays in the array.

"Your humble student, Fu Xuan, comes bearing her respects, Master Diviner." Such were the words spoken by the girl after a period of hesitation.

The man's stare remained still. He but lifted a finger as a signal for her to regard the display. Fu Xuan noticed his hand had, for some reason, been changed to a wood-made ingenium. "The Yuque's Echojade Fleet are currently laying out a defense at Thalassa in coordination with the Yaoqing's encirclement and eradication of abominations. You should have heard of this, yes? However, they are fated to lose this battle."

"Huh? The Yaoqing is noted for its martial prowess and is rarely rivaled. According to intelligence, our forces outnumber and outmatch the borisin. How can victory be denied if an attack is commenced?"

"Well asked. You don't seem like an apprentice that just accepts things." The man stood up and patted down his dust-coated sleeves. "A diviner is aware of destiny, but not a slave to it. Testing different possibilities to find the best choice is wise. However, sometimes, though try you might to find the best option, destiny will only grant you a single path forward. After your divination is complete, when your only outcomes are the bad and the worse, what will you choose?"

"...When one is faced with two kinds of venom, naturally the choice is the one that possesses lesser harm. This is the first lesson of divination."

"But what if we are unable to judge the severity of these matters from the perspective of a human?" The man turned.

"This divination is gleaned from the newly arranged 'Deca-Light Reflection Barrier' matrix. There are two outcomes: To temporarily transfer the Heroncrest Fleet of the Xianzhou Yaoqing, or to draw from the manpower of the Ebonpearl Fleet of the Fanghu. Only one choice can be made. To use the Heroncrest Fleet means being able to press a strong offense for some time, but lose any hope of success thereafter. To use the Ebonpearl Fleet means we must endure the vast distances between us and the Fanghu and have the conflict drag on for six months. During this time, we must also withstand multiple counterattacks from the enemy, and I will neglect going over the losses that are certain to come. But should the defense hold until aid arrives, then victory may well become possible."

"They went with the first option, I presume?"

"Correct. Divination can provide counsel and guidance, but only the general can make the final decision. He chose the path that would lead to the smallest loss. This didn't invalidate my divination, of course — defeat was the predetermined outcome."

"The treatises on the art of war state that an advantage in numbers speaks favorably for initiating battle, and calling on the aid of Yaoqing's forces may not be the worst possible decision. Moreover, nothing is ever certain in this world. How can you be so sure, master diviner? How can you speak as if all have been predestined?"

"Nothing is ever certain in this world?" The man sighed heavily. "I thought the same thing when the divination results appeared... I thought there must have been an error in the calculations. However, the results did not change after the re-analysis. I therefore resolved to head to the battlefield and seek evidence myself."

"I had ventured deep into Thalassa the past few weeks, fought the abominations, and gained the trust of the local water dwellers. That was how I received a shocking piece of news: Within a month's time, a great tide known to the Thalassans as the 'Devil's Tide' — caused by the gravitational influence of their moon — will arrive."

"None will be able to keep fighting the abominations in such abyssal conditions without the help from the Fanghu Vidyadhara's cloudhymn magi. This piece of intel does not exist on any guide, nor is it recorded in our army's data bank. Only that, in order to validate my results in a moment of superfluous effort, I gave my hand as the price."

The man smiled bitterly and lifted his wooden hand in a wave. "Sometimes there is only ever one path in destiny. Everything is predetermined."

"By the way, you don't need to address me as master diviner. You should call me 'Teacher' from today onward."

角色故事•三（解锁条件：角色等级60）
在玉阙太卜司中，她度过了自己一生中最快乐的求学岁月。关于宿命与自由意志，关于阵法演算与人择权衡…在一切与卜筮之道相关的问题上，少女记得自己与师傅总是争辩不休。这并非唇枪舌剑的相争，而是亦师亦友的较劲。尽管在大部分的问题上，少女与师傅最终达成了一致的看法，但两人却有一处无论如何绕不开去的死结——

自向博识尊处求取演算经籍以来，玉阙仙舟太卜司倾数百年全力加以解读实现，营建了联盟中夸称第一的占卜阵法。玉阙的卜者们皆以此为傲。但在符玄看来，这不过是将仙舟人的未来锁死在了阵法划定的道路上。

当人们相信阵法所示必然成真；选择便成了徒有其名的摆设。冥冥之中，卜者成了阵法的囚徒，吉时出行、凶时居停、每日所宜所忌、做什么不做什么，一应遵照占卜所示。

「难不成阵法告诉我明日死期将至，我就得自行了断不成？如此一来，卜与不卜，到底有什么分别？」

「分别在于，我们知道自己行走在昭昭天命之上。这便是开启太卜司制度的玄曜祖师所追求的至上道路。」

「在阵法协助下，卜者们只需要虔信相信，顺应启示，做出一个又一个抉择——即便它们匪夷所思、无比艰难。这一切终将让仙舟抵达它孜孜以求的伟业——铲除寿瘟祸祖，另世间无复寿瘟之苦。」男人的神色如同蒙受开示的觉悟者，坦然平静。他看向符玄，「就像我在得知你的命数后，将你收为弟子。」

不是为了我的天资？也不是为了家族人脉？只是为了实现某个预言？这…这太荒谬了！恼怒涌上符玄心头，令她一时间讷讷无言。

「你知道吗，在问卜『十方光映法界』，解读卦象后，我确信我的命运将断绝在你的手中。但我依然将你收为弟子，等候你取代我，成为玉阙仙舟的太卜。因为，这一切都是命中注定。」

命中注定？他的命运，将会断绝在我手里？

说得眼下仙舟好像仍在三劫时代，说得好像她是个渴望登上太卜之位，打算不择手段弑师的逆徒。这个混蛋师傅！

「而我…我绝不会让它成真！」

少女尊敬师傅身为卜者的一切：心智、技艺乃至为人。唯独无法接受他身为窥探命运的卜者，却自甘堕入宿命论的渊薮，并将此视为理所当然。

于是不顾家族的劝阻，不顾一切阻挠，符玄以近乎自我放逐的方式逃离了玉阙仙舟。她投身风气更自由的罗浮太卜司，寄情于卜算。她不但要远离玉阙仙舟，更要身体力行地证明这份预言不过是某人的荒谬妄想。  

Character Story: Part III

• Unlocked at Character Level 60

She spent the happiest time in her life studying in the Yuque's Divination Commission. She learned about predestination versus free-will, about matrix calculations versus human choices... The girl recalled she was always arguing with her teacher on every issue regarding divination and fortune-telling. Those were not aggressive confrontations with sharp words, but heated discussions between peers. And yet, though the two agreed on many topics, there was one issue they could not come to a consensus —

Nous had granted divine volumes outlining the matrix calculations to the Xianzhou centuries ago. The Xianzhou Yuque's Divination Commission had pored over them to interpret and manifest the wisdom within, ultimately constructing the best divination matrix in the entire Alliance. Thought this is a point of pride for Yuque's diviners, Fu Xuan felt it was nothing short of culling the future possibilities of the Xianzhou people within the narrow path set out by the matrix.

When people believe that the predictions of the matrix will always come to pass, then "choice" became an empty concept only for show. The diviners have unwillingly become prisoners of the matrix. They head to work when the hour is fortuitous, and stay home with the hour is ominous. What they do, what they avoid doing — everything was in accordance with the divination results.

"If the matrix tells me that I will die tomorrow, does that mean I should just hurry up and end myself? At that point, what is the difference between performing a divination and not performing one?"

"The difference is that we know we walk on the ordained path set by the heavens. That is the supreme path sought by Grandmaster Xuan Yao, who initiated the Divination Commission system."

"All the diviner has to do is to faithfully believe and obediently follow the guidance of the matrix, and make one choice after another in that way — even though those choices may be ludicrous, incomprehensible, or difficult. All such efforts will ultimately lead the Xianzhou to the great work that it has been seeking throughout its existence — that of eradicating the Plagues Author and rid the world of the agony of Abundance." The man's expression was as placid and calm as an enlightened disciple who had received divine revelation. He looked at Fu Xuan and continued, "just like how I chose to take you in as my student after knowing about your predetermined future."

It wasn't for my talents? And it wasn't for my well-connected family? It was just to fulfill some prediction? This... this was absurd! Rage took over Fu Xuan, and she was at a loss for words.

"Did I ever tell you that after I consulted the Deca-Light Reflection Barrier and interpreted the hexagram, I now firmly believe that my life will end in your hands? However, I still took you in as my student. I'm waiting for you to take over my position and become the Xianzhou Yuque's master diviner, because it has all been predetermined."

Predetermined? His life will end in my hands?

He was talking as if the Xianzhou was still in the Three Sufferings Era! As if she was a treacherous disciple who craved the seat of the master diviner so much, that she would even kill her teacher for it! Her teacher was a scoundrel!

"And I... I will never let that prediction come to pass!"

The girl admired everything about her master as a diviner — his intelligence, skills, and integrity. However, she could not accept how he willingly sank into the blinding abyss of fatalism and regarded it as an acceptable way of life, despite being a diviner who could peek into destiny.

Therefore, Fu Xuan ran away from the Xianzhou Yuque despite her family's dissuasion and the hurdles she had to cross. She ran away like a self-exiled escapee, plunging into the Luofu's Divination Commission with its more unrestricted culture and devoted herself to calculations. Not only did she want to part from the Xianzhou Yuque, she also wanted to prove with her own hands that her teacher's prediction was nothing but his own ludicrous delusions.

如是百年悄然逝去，战事再起，卜官符玄领命演算不休。丰饶民大军三度成形，突袭方壶仙舟。玉阙、罗浮同方壶仙舟相去不远，驰援责无旁贷。卜算结果显示，若倾全力迎击，任何参战的仙舟军队都将迎来惨烈的败局——但坚持守势，将会有转圜的余地。

但卦象并未显示转圜之机在何处。符玄反复推演，再三占算，穷观阵输出的结果依旧毫无变化。

「没有人会选择失败。」卜者能做到的，都在这里了。符玄将利害剖陈纸上，把卜算结果上呈神策府。毫无意外，帝弓天将合议的结果，侵逼方壶的丰饶联军兵力庞大，绝不能单纯采取守势。罗浮与玉阙云骑军必须迎战，为曜青部队争取赶来的时机。

那一日符玄隔着投影沙盘，见证了联盟援军的溃败。步离人不仅带来了遮天蔽日的舰队与器兽，更将古老传说中的活体星宿「计都蜃楼」召来。这邪物坠向方壶，即将为其上所有的生命带来灭顶之灾，再现苍城仙舟覆灭的惨剧。而人们只能眼睁睁见证它的降临。

卜者能做到的，真的只有如此吗？在焦灼与愤怒中，符玄心中升起一个极其大胆的念头。「我要见景元将军！」

在面见将军后，少女说出了她的想法。以云骑眼下的力量，想要取胜已不可能。唯一的转机，是令帝弓垂迹示现。

出乎她预料的，在说出这堪称亵渎和荒谬的念头后，眼前这位略显疲惫的将军并未露出任何嗤笑的神情，而是点了点头。「你想怎么做？」

「玉阙仙舟拥有联盟中观星的第一重器，瞰云镜。这座装置不仅能用来观察，它也可以向外发射讯息…我的意思是，用天艟将瞰云镜运往方壶，向帝弓光矢最后的所在处求救。争分夺秒的话，在那颗星星落下前，一切还有转圜的余地。」

「你很清楚…帝弓降世临凡的唯一征兆和可能带来的后果，对吧？」

「是的。作为方案的提出者，我愿意亲临战场，执行此事。」少女神色严肃，她十分明白自己提出的想法有多惊世骇俗。

「多谢你的建言。只是，危机之刻应当由六御勠力赴难。何况，你并无权限操作那器物。若事情因此失控，我作为进言呈辞者，会担负全部的后果，希望符小姐不必多虑。」

望着将军离去的背影，符玄突然回过神来，意识到「六御勠力赴难」的意义所在：能全权使用瞰云镜，乃至以辨读帝弓诰谕的方式发出讯号的人——

唯有玉阙太卜本人。

……

「这就是你寻求『眼界』的初衷？我读到了你的那些梦……」

少女没有睁开双眼，却能看见周遭的世界由烟雾凝成实体，所有可能性褪去，只剩下清晰无误的唯一选择。

「那些不是梦，那是我的过去，塑造了我的一切。」
「而他说的没错，其实命运从来只有一条道路。」  

Character Story: Part IV

Centuries passed thus, and the flames of war descended again. Diviner Fu Xuan calculated ceaselessly at her job. The grand armies of the Denizens of Abundance formed for the third time and launched a surprise attack on the Xianzhou Fanghu. The Yuque and the Luofu were close to the Fanghu, and it was their duty to give assistance. The divination revealed that all Xianzhou armies will meet a devastating defeat if they choose to face the assault head-on — however, should they keep up a defense, then there will be a chance to change the tides of battle.

What a pity that the hexagram did not reveal how this chance will come about! Fu Xuan calculated and divined over and over again, yet the results given by the Matrix of Prescience never changed.

"No one will choose defeat." This was the limit of a diviner's capacities. Fu Xuan outlined the pros and cons in writing and submitted the divination results to the Seat of Divine Foresight. However, as she expected, the outcome of the meeting between the Arbiter-Generals concluded that they must not take on a defensive position, not when such overwhelming numbers of the Abundance Axis were assaulting the Fanghu. The Cloud Knights of the Luofu and the Yuque must rise to face the enemy, buying time before the Yaoqing's army can arrive.

On that day, Fu Xuan bore witness through the Projection Sandpit to the Alliance's army being decimated. Not only did the borisin bring fleets and mechabeasts numerous enough to block out the sky, they even summoned the incarnosphere Ketu Mirage from ancient legends. This evil gravitated toward the Fanghu, hellbent on bringing annihilation to all lives onboard, recreating the tragedy of the fall of the Xianzhou Cangcheng. And the only thing people could do was watch as it neared.

Was this truly the limit of a diviner's capacities!? A bold idea surfaced in Fu Xuan's mind as she drowned in anxiety and anger. "I must see General Jing Yuan!"

The girl spoke her thoughts when brought face-to-face with the general. It was no longer possible to obtain victory with the forces available to the Cloud Knights. The only chance of victory lies in making the Reignbow manifest themselves.

She was not expecting the tired-looking man before her to simply nod after hearing her absurd and borderline blasphemous idea. The general did not even show any hints of ridicule. "How would you want to do it?"

"The Xianzhou Yuque holds the Cloudpeer Telescope, the ultimate astronomical observation device in the Alliance. Not only can it scry into the distance, it can also be used to send out information... I plan to ship the Cloudpeer Telescope to the Fanghu using a Navis Astriger, and send out an SOS signal to the last observed location of the Reignbow's Lux Arrow. If we hurry, we still have a chance to turn everything around before that living planet falls."

"I trust that you are... well aware of the singular sign of the Reignbow's descent onto the physical plane and its consequences, correct?"

"Yes. As the person who voiced this plan, I am willing to be on the front lines and execute it." The girl's expression was solemn. She was keenly aware of how unorthodox her idea was.

"I thank you for your words, but the Six Charioteers should work together to combat such a great crisis. Moreover, you do not have the permission to manipulate that device. Should this plan go awry, I will take all responsibility as the one who made the suggestion. Do not trouble yourself over this, Miss Fu."

As Fu Xuan watched the general's retreating figure, she suddenly realized what he meant by "the Six Charioteers should work together" — the only person who has the permission to use the Cloudpeer Telescope and can send out a signal in the format of the Reignbow's decree...

...was none other than the Yuque's Master Diviner.

... "Is this why you seek "The Eye"? I saw your dreams..."

The girl did not open her eyes, yet she could already see the world around her condense into solid form from nebulous mist, see all possibilities fade and leave behind the solitary, absolute, and faultless "choice."

"Those are not dreams. They are my past. They made me who I am." "And he was right all this time. There is only ever one path in destiny."

「关于那位新员工，我有一些情况要向您报告。」

「什么事让你这么担心，埃尔文？」

「关于他的投诉，不管是正式的还是非正式的，像纸片一样塞满了我的邮箱，我想…您或许可以重新考虑是否接纳他为战略投资部的一员。」

「他们都写了什么？」

「主要是他的身份，那双眼睛……」
「他曾欺骗市场开拓部，茨冈尼亚贫瘠的黄土藏着尚未被有效开发利用的能源。在他们投入巨额资金进行开采后，才发现根本是无稽之谈。」
「还有骇人听闻的『艾吉哈佐砂金案』，他哄骗博识学会相信那里埋藏着虫皇『塔伊兹育罗斯』的尸体——那帮学者谨慎又谨慎，却还是落入了对方的圈套。」
「还有茨冈尼亚酋长国议员来信，谴责他的部落曾破坏决议，祸乱人心，致使氏族间和平局势发生重大变化，茨冈尼亚与公司间协议条款的签订屡次延期。此人如今入职公司，其影响极为恶劣……」

「如果只是这些的话，就不必说了。」

「…您都知道？」

「每一种宝石都有独特的价值，而我们的工作就是『投资』。」
「也不用安抚那些来信的老顽固，这些风言风语迟早会传到——不，应该已经传到他耳边了。正好，就看看他到底能给我们带来多大的惊喜吧。」

"I have something to report to you about the new employee."

"What makes you so worried, Erwin?"

"It's complaints about him, both formal and informal. My mailbox has been flooded with them like countless pieces of paper. I wonder... if it's worth reconsidering his inclusion in the Strategic Investment Department."

"What do these complaints say?"

"Mostly about his origins. Those eyes of his..."
"He once deceived the Marketing Development Department by falsely claiming that there were energy sources hidden in the barren land of Sigonia, not yet effectively developed and utilized. A huge amount of funds was invested into excavating it before we realized it was all a scam."
"And then there's the notorious Egyhazo Aventurine Case. He misled the Intelligentsia Guild into believing that the remains of Tayzzyronth the Imperator Insectorum were buried there. Despite the scholars being extremely cautious, they ultimately still fell into the trap."
"And let's not forget the letters from the councilors of the Sigonian Sovereignty. They denounce his tribe for once breaking agreements and sowing discord, leading to significant changes in the balance of peace between the tribes, resulting in repeated delays in the signing of agreements between Sigonia and IPC. Allowing such an employee to join at the IPC would be a severe detriment to public relations..."

"If these are the extent of the complaints, there's no need to tell me."

"...You already know it all?"

"Each gemstone holds unique value, and our task is to make investments."
"We don't need to appease those stubborn old-timers who sent in complaints, as these rumors will eventually reach... No, they would already have reached his ears. Well, let's take this chance and see how big of a surprise he can bring us."

「小子，你真行啊…用神乎其神的手段搬光了我的产业。但我绝不会投降，大不了，我就把这里全炸咯…你能怎么办？」
伊伊玛尼喀的「疯牛」示意手下松手，他从桌子上抬起头来，拍了拍衣领上的灰尘。
「你们，高高在上的公司狗，根本看不起流浪者，对吧？但你现在在我们的地盘，就得按我们的方式。」

「疯牛」清空弹匣，往枪中装入一粒子弹，丢在他脚边。
「六次，最多六次枪响之后，生死由命。你敢不敢？」

他蹲下来，捡起枪。
「用枪指着我的人太多了，甚至有人直接扣下了扳机…但你猜，为什么我还能站在这儿？」
他站起来，逼视着「疯牛」的眼睛，举起枪，抵住自己的心脏。
「因为最后，枪都会来到我手里。」

「而现在，这个游戏令我有些厌烦了…六分之一的概率远远不够，要挑衅命运——」
六声连续的枪响在死寂的星舰中炸开，烟尘过后，他再次举起枪，朝「疯牛」走去，而弹匣里有一颗新的子弹。
「就得先学会把自己变成骰子。」
「——你不肯投降，但凭什么？就凭这拙劣的概率游戏？还是……」
他调转枪口，指向黑暗中的某处。
「她？」

枪口所指的方向，一位同样举着手枪的女士缓缓出现。看到她的一瞬间，「疯牛」仿佛抓到了救命稻草。
「翡翠女士，这和说好的不一样……」
就在同时，两人开枪，在双方各自背后的暗处，两个黑衣人应声倒下。

「公司的敌人还真是无处不在，对吧？」女士从容地收起手枪，拿出化妆镜，检视了一下自己的仪容。
「拿你我的生命作饵，让他们争相啄食，误以为这是一场内讧，却被一网打尽…不错的诡计，只不过太惊险了些。」他微笑着欢迎对方的到来，双手却微微颤抖。

「诡计？不，只是一场测试罢了。」
优雅的女士摊开手掌，一枚闪烁着奇异色泽的「砂金石」躺在她的手心。
「没什么奇怪的，被渴望，被追逐，被切割，被出售…这都是宝石的宿命。」
「但你还是有许多可做的，全凭你怎么看待自己。」

"You're quite something else, boy... I still can't figure out how you managed to empty out my entire business. But I will never surrender. If push comes to shove, I'll just blow up this whole place... What are you gonna do about it?"
The Mad Bull of Iymanika signals his followers to let go. He raises his head from the table, dusting off his collar.
"You arrogant dogs from the IPC never respected us wanderers, did you? But now that you're in our territory, you'll play by our rules."

Mad Bull empties the cylinder, putting only one bullet in the revolver, and tosses it to the other man's feet.
"Six shots. Fate will decide whether we live or die after a maximum of six shots. Do you have the nerve?"

The other man bends down and picks up the revolver.
"There are too many people who've pointed a gun at me. Some of them even just went ahead and pressed the trigger straight up... Now, guess how come I'm still standing here."
The man stands up, stares into the Mad Bull's eyes, raises the gun, and puts it against his own heart.
"It's because the gun will always end up in my hand."

"And now, this game is making me bored... One in six? That possibly is nowhere near enough. If you want to tempt fate..."
Six consecutive gunshots thunder out in the starship that is wrapped in a deathly silence. After the smoke clears, the man raises the gun again and walks toward Mad Bull. The revolver is now loaded with a fresh bullet.
"You need to learn how to turn yourself into a die first."
"...You won't surrender, but why? Because you have this lousy game of chance? Or..."
He points the gun into the darkness.
"Because of her?"

A woman holding a pistol emerges slowly from the direction the revolver points. The Mad Bull acts as if he found a lifeline when he sees her.
"Madam Jade, this is not what we agreed upon..."
At that moment, both of them opened fire simultaneously, and two figures dressed in black fall from the shadows behind each of them.

"The IPC has enemies everywhere, right?" The woman calmly holsters her pistol, takes out her cosmetic mirror, and inspects her appearance.
"You used our lives as bait, making them believe there was internal strife between us, and then you eliminated them all... A clever trick, although a bit reckless." He greets the woman with a smile, although his hands tremble slightly.

"Trick? No, it was just a test."
The elegant lady opens her palm, revealing a shimmering aventurine of peculiar hues.
"There's nothing strange about it. Gemstones are destined to be... desired, sought, cut, and sold."
"However, there's so much more you can do. It all depends on how you see yourself."

他走入走廊最深处的房间，他还记得上一次来这里的时候，自己还是个面目可憎的囚犯。现在，他站在这里，面向立于部门顶点的人们。

他听金发的女性念着冗长无趣的报告，那些冰冷的数字既无法传达他行走在生死边缘的惊险，亦无法告诉他们过程中他失去了多少，又得到了多少。他只好奇她是人类，还是智械？

而那颗象征权力与未来的「砂金石」即将被正式交予他手中——豁出性命拿到手的东西，在得到的一刹那，对他而言就失去了诱惑与价值。

「『砂金』，你还有什么问题吗？」会议的最后，翡翠——在场的人里，他只认识她——开口问道。

「茨冈尼亚的埃维金人…他们后来怎么样了？」

「很遗憾，茨冈尼亚已经没有埃维金人了。你是最后的幸运儿。」

「那在██星球上帮助过我的那些人呢？我想，现在我可以回报他们了。」

「他们也都不在了。」

……

他木然地回到自己的办公室。桌上，那颗砂金石闪动着奇异的光，仿佛在恭喜他，又仿佛在嘲弄他。
「在与命运搏斗的时候，你真的是幸运的那方吗？」

He walks into the room at the furthest end of the corridor, remembering how he was still a grotesque prisoner the last time he came here. Now, he stands with his back straight and faces those who sit at the very top of the department.

He listens to the blond woman as she reads out the lengthy and boring report. Those cold, unfeeling numbers cannot convey the dangers that accompanied him as he walked on the thin line between life and death, nor can they communicate how much he had lost and gained during the journey. He is simply curious whether she is human or an Intellitron.

The aventurine, that symbol of power and of the future, is about to be officially handed to him — Yet it would have no more allure or value in his eyes as soon he obtains it, even though he had sought it by putting his life on the line.

"Do you have any more questions, Aventurine?" Jade, the only person he knows among the presently gathered, asks at the end of the meeting.

"The Avgins in Sigonia... what happened to them afterward?"

"Unfortunately, there are no more Avgins in Sigonia. You're the last lucky dog."

"What about those people who helped me on planet ██? Now I can finally repay their kindness."

"They are no more, either."

...

He returns to his office in a daze. The aventurine stone emits a peculiar glow on his desk, seemingly congratulating and mocking him at the same time.
"Was luck truly on your side when you wrestled with fate?"

「匹诺康尼…『钻石』终于打算对它动手了？」
桌上的微缩模型不断旋转，晶莹剔透的忆泡不断泛出微小的泡沫。

「这是一笔超乎想象的历史坏账，所以背后的利益…高得惊人。」
面前的人背对着他，望着庇尔波因特黄昏时紫红的天空。

「但为什么是我？」
那人依旧背对着他，他无法用自己善于捕捉的眼睛去揣测这个决定背后的真实用意。

「本该是我。但『钻石』认为家族还有合作的价值，希望这事至少有和平解决的余地。」
「思来想去，我觉得你最合适。」

「这甚至只是我们第二次谈话，你这么信任我？」

「错了，我压根没有信过你——也许『翡翠』会，但我不会。」
「没准这一次，好运不会再站在你这边了，而你也将为自己一直以来的幸运付出代价。」

面前的人终于转了过来，远处的大楼反射出欧泊石般七彩的光芒，而一只八音盒兀自作响。
「但那不正是你所渴望的东西吗？」

"Penacony... Is Diamond finally ready to do something about it?"
The miniature model on the table continues to rotate, the crystalline memory bubble emitting tiny spheres of foam.

"This historic debt is utterly unimaginable. So, the profit involved is also... shockingly high."
The person in front of him has their back turned to him, gazing instead at the purplish-red sky of Pier Point at sunset.

"But why me?"
The person continues to face away from him. Keen though his eyes are, he can not decipher the true intentions behind the decision.

"It should have been me, but Diamond believes that The Family still had some value in cooperation and hopes this affair still has some room for a peaceful resolution."
"So, after some thought, I've concluded that you're the best candidate."

"This is only our second conversation ever. Do you trust me that much?"

"No, I've never trusted you. Perhaps Jade does, but I don't."
"Maybe luck won't be on your side this time, and the bill for all your past good fortune will come due."

Finally, the person in front of him turns around. The distant skyscraper reflects a kaleidoscope of colors like an opal stone, while a music box plays on its own.
"But isn't that what you've been longing for?"
