Chapter 507: Chapter 259: Two Conditions, Awaiting an Answer
What is my goal? And what should I do?
Vier never shies away from asking herself such questions.
Her father was an estate manager of a fallen noble family.
Although he was very busy most of the time, often spending the whole day out of sight, the generous rewards for serving the noble "master" allowed their family to live a rather respectable life in the somewhat dull town.
As a child, Vier was very curious about her father’s work, not understanding why someone who seemed to just sit in the study could earn far more than the farmers and laborers who toiled under the sun and wind.
To this, her father, who was just over forty at the time but already had streaks of gray hair, naturally wouldn’t complain to his most beloved youngest daughter, nor explain what he, his father, his grandfather, along with their entire family, had sacrificed for this job.
Instead, he explained his current work in a humorous and interesting manner.
It involved management plans for critical matters in the estate such as land, forests, livestock, farm tools, and grain, arranging agricultural activities for the entire year through detailed records and forward-looking planning.
When to plow, what crops to sow, harvest times, storage locations, countermeasures for various weather conditions, and even food supplies for the lord and farmhands...
The young girl watched her father from an early age, seeing how he managed the estate like a precise machine, continuously and with clear goals, meticulously planning the operation of this large plot of land and its system of hundreds of people.
Immersed in this, she naturally developed a deep awareness of the necessity and power of "planning."
Vier was passionate about setting feasible goals at every stage of life and working step by step to achieve them.
Before coming of age, she diligently studied basic Universal Language and simple arithmetic, transcribing anything with text, proactively helping her father organize parchment rolls, calculate harvests and inventory—aiming to reduce his stress, at least allowing him to sleep a few more hours at night.
Later, as she grew older and learned more about the world and society, she leveraged her literacy skills to gradually participate in church activities, striving to access the church library for in-depth learning in basic astronomy, geometry, history, and theology—a goal to become a nun, reducing her family’s burden and planning for her own future.
Then, when her talent was discovered by a tutor passing through the town, leading her to start learning magic knowledge, Vier’s goals became even clearer.
Memorizing her first magic model, completing her first magic experiment, gaining professional level, casting Fireball Technique, acquiring her own Mage Tower...
Among them, some have been completed, while others remain out of reach.
But the habit of "making plans-achieving goals" has consistently permeated her life.
After reincarnation, the once abundant magic power turned into void, and countless magic equipment used for self-preservation vanished.
She certainly felt panic and unease.
The enormous pressure of "saving the world" left her breathless.
She even began to doubt whether she truly had the ability to complete this epic and formidable task.
Fortunately, this habit, originating from childhood and never forgotten even after ascending to a transcendent level, gradually calmed her down.
Just like countless times before, at her small dressing table in the bedroom, in the cold corner of the library, on the cluttered tabletop of the laboratory...
The quill left rows of elegant script as thoughts became clearer through meticulous planning and summarization.
As an academic spellcaster, she might not be particularly skilled in combat, but forming feasible plans and accomplishing them was second nature to her.
Why did she join Hai’an’s escort team?
The goal was to kill the Dragon Descendant Sava and seek the opportunity that made his life path change in a previous life.
For what reason?
The former was because Sava became a traitor to the Alliance in later years, directly leading to Neum’s downfall and the collapse of the Alliance’s front line; the latter was to accelerate her growth and restore her strength as swiftly as possible.
The fundamental reason?
In essence, it was for those three words:
——Deviation Index!
Killing Sava, enhancing strength, even "reincarnation" itself, Vier’s ultimate goal was to increase the world’s deviation index to prevent, or rather, postpone as much as possible, the fall of the Aifala Continent.
At present, has Vier’s goal been accomplished?
Although Sava did not die by her hands, he is indeed deceased;
And the "opportunity" she sought, which he was supposed to gain in this task, was not obtained.
It seems only half completed.
But if you consider the fundamental "deviation index," this was a complete and successful plan.
She perfectly, and even exceeded, the goals she had previously set.
The expected value of the deviation index originally at 0.05% was directly raised to 0.3% now!
It was unbelievably successful.
As for why such results could be achieved...
The girl’s amber eyes suddenly seemed somewhat dazed.
The reasons for the change in "deviation index" might be difficult for others to perceive.
But as a reincarnator with memories of the previous life, knowing the development trajectory of the world line, she only needed to compare the differences between the events and her past life to easily detect the changes within.
Whether Lawson and Terry William died in this mission in the previous life, she did not know.
