"Where did this little brat come from?"
Daren frowned, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.
For some reason, he sensed an unsettling and strange aura from the pale-skinned little mermaid in front of him. It was as if some of his secrets had been exposed by her royal blue eyes.
Noticing Daren's frown, Neptune was startled and hurriedly explained,
"Vice Admiral Daren, this is our famous fortune teller from Fish-Man Island, her name is Shyarly... Shyarly-chan, don't look at Vice Admiral Daren like that, he is our most honored guest on Fish-Man Island."
He gritted his teeth, swam forward, and half-blocked Shyarly with his body.
Daren was slightly taken aback. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the cute little mermaid in front of him. For a moment, he couldn't connect her with the cold and mysterious female fortune teller of the future. The difference in their appearance and temperament was too great.
One was a little girl, while the other was a mature and cold older woman.
"You're a fortune teller?"
Daren put away his four swords, took a step forward, and squatted down in front of little Shyarly.
Unexpectedly, little Shyarly did not show any fear despite her age when she saw Daren approaching. Instead, she nodded and said seriously in a babyish voice,
She also looked at the powerful Vice Admiral of the Marines in front of her and suddenly said something that made Daren's expression change slightly.
"I can't see through you. Your fate is strange. It seems that you don't exist in the past of this world."
This sentence was extremely vague, and Neptune and the others were completely confused.
But Daren's heart was stirred.
This little brat... Something's wrong!
She actually saw through his biggest secret!
"Doesn't exist in the past of this world..." Others might not understand what this sentence meant, but Daren understood it clearly.
Isn't that what a transmigrator is?
"Oh? What does that mean?"
Daren suppressed his emotions and asked with a smile.
Shyarly shook her head, her small, white face wrinkled as if she was stuck on a difficult problem, and she bit her finger and said,
"I don't know, but one thing is certain, you are very strange."
"I've never had this feeling before... It's as if your destiny is shrouded in a fog, and I can't see it clearly."
"Even with that weird old man with a beard made of nose hair, I could see something... I divined that he was about to die, but before he died, he would sit on the throne of the king... and usher in a new era."
Hearing this, Neptune and the other ministers of Ryugu Castle's faces changed dramatically.
The turtle prime minister was so scared that he turned pale and hurriedly explained,
"That... children are just talking nonsense, Vice Admiral Daren, please don't take it seriously."
They had finally managed to "dispel" Daren's suspicions, but now little Shyarly had brought up the topic again, making them sweat profusely.
Didn't her words prove that Roger's pirate crew was "at home" on Fish-Man Island, and that even the most famous fortune teller on Fish-Man Island had told their fortunes?
Fortunately, the Vice Admiral of the Marines didn't seem to mind, and just looked at the little Fish-Man with interest and smiled:
Shyarly shook her head again:
"I can't see anything else. Fortune-telling isn't all-powerful... But," she raised her little head and looked at Daren with her mysterious blue eyes:
"Can I tell you your fortune, Marine-san?"
Before Daren could say anything, Neptune, the turtle prime minister, and the others cried out in alarm.
They all knew what Shyarly's "fortune-telling" results were. The gates of Fish-Man Island would be broken, the Great Pirate Roger would die, and the world would fall into a new era of turmoil...
Without exception, these were all "bad" news!
What if Shyarly predicted something bad from this fierce god and made him unhappy? Then it would be Fish-Man Island that would suffer!
Fortune-telling has always been a dangerous profession.
You might be able to swindle some money from the weak, but if you encounter someone unreasonable, they might kill you without a second thought if they're unhappy.
However, faced with the excited Neptune and the others, Daren just glanced at them indifferently and silenced them all.
"What's wrong? Do you think something bad will happen to me in the future?"
The turtle prime minister's face changed, and he immediately smiled apologetically:
"How could that be? Vice Admiral Daren is so powerful, and his influence and status are at their peak. No matter what difficulties you encounter, they will be no problem for you."
Daren ignored this guy and looked at the little mermaid again, smiling slightly:
"Okay, come and tell my fortune."
In his previous life, he had been a firm materialist, scoffing at fortune-telling and divination. But after experiencing something as unbelievable as transmigration, he couldn't help but start believing in certain things.
And even if he didn't believe it, there was no harm in listening.
A smile appeared on Shyarly's small face.
She took out the crystal ball again, which had a shallow crack on it. With a serious look on her face, she placed the crystal ball in front of her, stretched out her small hand, gently held it, and slowly closed her eyes.
Soon, Daren noticed something strange.
He didn't know if it was a mistake, but he seemed to feel a faint, strange aura gradually appearing in the empty space around him, imperceptible and uncatchable.
"It seems that this is indeed related to some kind of mysticism..."
This thought flashed through Daren's mind.
However, this was understandable. After all, in this world, even souls existed and could be clearly manifested.
The entire banquet hall fell silent.
It was so quiet that even a pin dropping could be heard. One could even hear Neptune and the others breathing nervously.
Shyarly's expression changed, and she opened her eyes wide.
An indescribable fear welled up in her eyes, causing her to tremble all over and her face to turn pale.
The crack on the crystal ball suddenly spread and extended, endless scarlet filling the entire sphere, then it exploded into pieces!
"This... how is this possible!?"
A trace of blood seeped from the corner of Shyarly's mouth, and she stared at Daren in fear, her body subconsciously shrinking back.
Daren frowned and asked.
Shyarly was no longer calm and composed, but like a frightened rabbit, her voice was incoherent.
"You, you... that era... it was you..."
"Fate... has changed..."
"You... you're dead..."
Before she could finish, blood gushed from Shyarly's mouth and nose, and then her eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness and fainted.
"Did she say I'm dead?"
He turned to Neptune and the others and smiled in a friendly and peaceful manner.
Neptune and the others were pale and knelt on the ground with their hearts pounding.
