Because of last week's [The Elegance of Cats], he has already been impressed by "watching cats". This week, he can no longer tell his father that he has feelings for stargazing, so he can only ask irrelevant people about his abilities.
"People who are blessed by the protoss usually have good luck."
The woman sighed softly, skillfully washed the cards in her hand, and then lightly picked up a card from it. It was only then that Jenkins noticed that the cards she used were not made of traditional hard cardboard. From the texture point of view, they looked more like plasticized ones.
But this world does not have this kind of technology, is it ability
Jenkins and the chocolate held by him stuck out their heads at the same time, looking over there curiously.
The card was slowly turned over, and the pattern on the front was a somewhat distorted red flower. Here's the pattern from the pencil sketch, drawn directly on the blank deck of cards. Because the light and shadow effects are so superb, Jenkins even thinks this is a real flower.
"What does this mean?"
Jenkins asked in awe.
The woman didn't answer, but shook her head slightly, and tossed the cards casually, and the cards spun and burned in the air.
"Is this divination or tricks?"
To be so impolite is just to think about it, he is not stupid enough to ask. Miss Audrey is a high-level gifter, and she is also a woman, so it is very necessary to maintain respect.
Fortune tellers may have a different view of fate than ordinary people, and Jenkins still remembered the weird remarks made by Miss Audrey during her last visit. He intentionally talked about some topics related to [Fate], and Miss Audrey also generously shared with him a few rituals that can temporarily transfer luck, but the materials required for them are very expensive.
The genial lady, who seemed genuinely interested in helping Jenkins, knew all about the occult. Her understanding of linguistics is unexpectedly profound. In addition to the traditional language that has extraordinary power, she believes that time will also endow mortal things with extraordinary power. The language itself has multiple meanings, which is easier. Empowered by time.
When the two were talking, Jenkins felt a faint heat in his chest. At first, I suspected that Chocolate had wet the bed in his sleep, but later I realized that the nut was hanging there.
He froze for a moment, ignoring the fact that there was a lady in front of him, he unbuttoned his neckline, loosened his tie and took out the nut. Miss Audrey raised her eyebrows, and picked up the one that belonged to her on the table.
The two walked to the window tacitly, and leaned against the wall on one left and one on the right, only to see a man wearing a dirty black coat patched on his back on the street outside the house, walking by with a cigarette in his mouth.
All the people living in this block are well-to-do families with small property, and the men are obviously not the residents here.
Perhaps because of his sensitive senses, the man who was watched by the two people seemed to look here, but he only saw an irritable cat lying on the window sill dissatisfied.
"I'm going to report to the church!"
As soon as the man was out of range of the window, Jenkins immediately raised his right hand to express his opinion.
"Don't you want to see what he's doing?"
Miss Audrey asked strangely.
"No, no, no. What if he is the source of the gear germ infection? For the safety of the citizens, we should report this matter to the church immediately. [Starry Sky and Balance] The church is the closest to here, without further delay, we set off immediately !"
The righteous Mr. Writer has made the most correct judgment at the moment. He is just a civil servant, and Miss Audrey is not a local law enforcement officer. The two have no reason to follow him.
"Mr. Williams, fate sometimes hides its gifts in small things, so we can't easily draw conclusions about anything. Let's look at the guidance of fate."
As she spoke, she picked up the stack of cards again, and with a wave of her hand, the candlestick that was originally placed in the center of the coffee table lit up immediately.
The curtains in the room were not drawn, but the sun didn't seem to be able to illuminate the area. Only the dim yellow flame of the candle covered everyone, casting long shadows on the ground.
Count to the seventh card from top to bottom, then take out this card and place it in the upper center of the coffee table tablecloth, just above the candlestick.
Put the counted cards aside, don't use them anymore, then count the remaining cards again, take out the seventh card, and place it in the lower left corner of the candlestick.
As above, put the counted cards aside. Count the remaining cards again, and place the seventh card in the lower right corner of the candlestick, forming a regular triangle with the two cards just now. At this time, Miss Audrey still had some cards in her hand, so she put them in the pile that was counted.
She glanced up at Jenkins and made a gesture of invitation:
"This is a very common card divination method, even ordinary citizens have heard of it. First, think about the things you want to divination in your heart, and then look at the folded cards you need. They represent the past, present and The future. If it’s just about whether or not it should be tracked, it should belong to the present.”
Jenkins nodded politely, wondering if he really wanted to do divination. He looked at Chocolate squatting obediently on the sofa, and felt in his heart that he shouldn't let his pets underestimate him.
A small golden spinning shuttle was painted on the back of the card, which had no meaning. After confirming that the card was a common item, he opened the one in the lower left corner of the candlestick.
On the front, there is a gold coin printed on it.
Tarot cards do not exist in this world, and the cards used for ordinary divination are local cards that are very similar to Tarot cards. There are 78 cards in a complete set, each of which can be interpreted with completely unrelated results, and there are also divination tools for the summoners. This is something that only rich ladies or noble daughters have the financial resources to play.
In general divination, you only need to use 23 main cards.
"Gold coins? Does this represent greed?"
Jenkins asked that the connection between divination and occultism has been inseparable since ancient times. Although Dad's lessons haven't progressed to this point, he knows a little bit.
"This is just an interpretation. It also represents wealth within reach, or extreme luck."
"It's definitely not luck, I don't think it has anything to do with me."
He thought about it, and felt that it was not okay to be too cautious, and after thinking about it for a while, the man was about to walk away.
"Then let's chase after him. His expression just now was a bit wrong. I also want to know what he is doing. If it's not safe, I think we'd better..."
Miss Audrey put on the white mask for camouflage, and Jenkins took out a triangular metal piece from the inside pocket of his coat.
