Eternal Thief-Chapter 629: Fate play tricks but never makes mistakes!

Ace's shock was evident of how astonished he was after confirming it was really the glittering golden fate point. But at this moment, something absurd happened, which made Ace dumbfounded.

Right under his dilated eyes, the glittering golden fate point started to disappear, and so does the compass indicator as it faded away. It was then replaced with another one which was now pointing over the protected building, which should be the passage toward the next floor.

But he couldn't just ignore that glittering golden fate point because it was shown before the next floor entrance, which makes it equally important.

So, he could then only turn to the one person who might have some explanation about this absurd phenomenon, Moira!

"Moira, what just happened? Was that glittering golden fate point an error?" Ace questioned with uncertainty.

Moira replied sternly, "Fate plays tricks but never makes mistakes, Sir Ace."

Ace frowned slightly, "How so?"

"Because tricks are used for misconception while mistakes are made by unable, and Fate is nothing but unable!" Moira solemnly stated.

Ace felt somewhat enlightened, but his doubt only increased, "Then what that glittering golden fate point was, and why did it fade away, and the compass indicator also changed? Did this count as a trick played by fate?"

Moira replied with a somewhat grim tone, "This could only mean two things, Sir Ace. First, the fate point fate had been changed, and it no longer serves any use to you. The chances of this scenario are above 60%.

"Second, the true purpose of this fate point will be revealed in the future, and it only appeared as a hope and warning about a calamity. A warning that you're going to need it at some time in the future in a grave situation, as well as a hope to salvage it.

"This kind of fate divination is mostly indicated toward an unavoidable calamity, and they're always unpredictable and deadly. These kinds of calamities are always hidden by fate and can't be revealed unless someone with extremely high divination ability try divining it at the expense of their lives.

"The Eternal Thief Fate Compass could bypass such a thing, but it's not complete yet, so I can't tell you if it's a calamity or a false alarm with certainty. So, I will strongly suggest that you will not make any haste decision until more clues are revealed!"

Ace was astonished when he heard about this mysterious calamity thing which was naturally above his comprehension. But he got a general idea about how it could affect his life and death.

So, he didn't dare to take it lightly and asked gloomily, "What do you suggest then I should do?"

"Sir. Ace should capture the fate point and keep it close for the time being. If this fate point is really your hope amidst the darkness, then it will be revealed its purpose at that point!" Moira strongly suggested.

Ace frowned, hearing this, and questioned, "How will I have to keep this person around then? It's quite clear that I have to capture it alive first and then have to keep it in my storage. This could also hinder the other party's progress forward, and they might even lose their purpose if it is meant to help me in some kind of future trouble."

"But they can grow with you and be stronger than ever, right?" Moira rebutted as if she was adamant about kidnapping that fate point.

Ace was speechless since he knew what Moira meant by those words. She was clearly indicating toward the Thief House, and she was also right about the person will grow far stronger and faster if they joined the Thief House.

'Don't tell me it was meant to play this way from the start?' Ace couldn't help but thought this way since the fabled fate was involved in all this.

"Alright, I'll listen to your suggestion." Ace wasn't stubborn to ignore such a warning, especially if that warning came from an Eternal Provenance Treasure related to Fate!

Now that he had decided to abduct the other fate point, he needed to figure out how and fast.

Because the other party was protected behind that black corporeal wall which wasn't showing on the fate map and giving Ace a threatening feeling, this could only mean that wall was made with at least a low-grade-7 runes symbol.

Lastly, Ace didn't have much time left before the light pillar descended and revealed his location to every elf in the city. At that time, it will be even harder to abduct someone, and the other party will clearly not just sit there and let him abduct himself.

Most importantly, he had to store that person in his storage space without revealing its nature to the tower spirit, or things might change from bad to worse.

Because having a living storage space would basically change everything since it would open the possibility of him having helpers or even more precious treasures at his disposal!

Ace looked at the barrier gloomily as a terrible yet feasible plan started to take shape in his thievish mind.

'I can easily bypass the first barrier with Space Distortion Triangle. But that black wall is the real problem. The Space Distortion Triangle will never put a dent in it.

'But if I try to amplify its ability with the heavenly Qi forcibly, then there's a possibility that it won't even work, and I'll lose the Space Distortion Triangle for good.

'It's still useful for me, and I don't want to just destroy it without even getting anything out of it. It's a risk that I have to decide to take for a slight chance and risk giving away my location in the process. Then there is still the power level of the other party; I can't measure it with the wall in the way, but since it's a red fate point…'

Ace fell into deep thought, but he knew he didn't have the luxury of time, so he had to decide quickly.

After a few minutes, Ace's eyes shone with resolve as he made his choice!
