"Hello, great... well, I won't say it."
Mr. Pisco said in embarrassment.
"Meow."
"Thank you for your praise. Even knowing the special status of Mr. Williams at the end of this century, I am still surprised that an existence like you will come to this world."
Once again, I would like to express my highest respect.
"Meow."
"Yes, what I just said to Mr. Williams is true. In order to make you trust me, I have also prepared a gift."
While talking to the lazy cat, he took out the page of the Epic of Time, pushed it lightly, and the paper crossed the small wooden table and stopped in front of Chocolate.
It waved its paw, and a black hand reached out from the shadow of the chair, and brought the paper to the cat's mouth. Chocolate was not too polite, he opened his small mouth and bit it, until he ate 1/2 of the blank part of the page before hiccupping.
It stood up, yelled again threateningly, and then jumped into the shadows and disappeared.
Mr. Pisco sighed, got up and fiddled with the stove, and stood in front of the window looking at the dark street outside the apartment. Jenkins was just about to turn the intersection, and his footprints stretched there from out of sight. Piscoe could see the cat disappear into a black line from the shadow of his feet and crawl back into his arms.
"Their stories look more interesting, but unfortunately, I can't see the end..."
In order to keep energetic during the day, Jenkins went home with chocolate and slept for a while, and then walked out of the house when it was just dawn. At about seven o'clock, I arrived at the door of Miss Audrey's house.
The snow that lasted all night covered the courtyard with silver. The flowers in the flower beds have already been wiped out, and now only some dead branches are still standing upright, but after all, they are no match for the eloquent white elves.
Jenkins paced hesitantly by the fence gate, feeling that it was inappropriate to visit so early. He has a lot of secrets himself, and he always feels unsafe to discuss the current situation with the church, so he came to this brilliant gifter.
If Jenkins is a smoker, this is the time to light a cigarette to pass the time. But smoking will increase consumption and make cats feel uncomfortable, so he has never tried it.
But luckily, in less than ten minutes, the door of Miss Audrey's house was opened, and two maids wearing thick cotton coats and scarves, holding brooms in cotton gloves came out one after the other.
The maid walking in front saw Jenkins at once, and said something to the back, and the latter immediately dropped the snow removal tool in his hand and ran into the house.
In this way, Jenkins came to the room smoothly, holding a hot teacup by the warm stove and looking at the sleepy woman opposite.
"Good morning."
He greeted embarrassingly, but it was still too early.
"Good morning, Mr. Williams. Come on, it's about the time I usually wake up. Would you like to have breakfast together? Mrs. Stephen's cooking is very good."
"No, actually, I have something urgent to ask you."
He held the teacup and took a sip, the warm current flowed down the esophagus to the stomach, warming up his whole body.
"Excuse me, do you know C-07-0-0001, [Epic of Time]?"
The woman's eyes sharpened immediately.
"knew… "
He hesitated to speak, as if worried about something, "A very special gift."
"It's good that you know it. I want to know if it is possible for a page to fall off from the main body and be obtained by the benefactor."
Miss Audrey let out a long breath, and took a sip from the teacup like Jenkins, but Jenkins always felt that this was to cover up his nervousness.
"This kind of thing has happened before. Even if it's just a page of epic, it has very powerful and magical power, but the cost of using it is also huge. Have you encountered anything?"
"Well... well, here's the thing..."
It is precisely because the 31st day will still be backtracked this time that Jenkins can safely explain what he encountered. Of course, the passage about divinity is not mentioned.
Miss Audrey sat opposite him and listened to the narration calmly, without saying a word during the period. It wasn't until Jenkins finished speaking that he frowned nicely.
"please wait a while."
She made a sorry expression, got up and walked out of the living room, and came back with a pair of divination cards after a while.
But this time it wasn't just a simple card draw. The maid was called to close all the curtains and remove all the furniture in the living room, leaving only a carpet in the center.
Miss Audrey gave Jenkins a ceremonial chalk to draw eccentric symbols around the circular rug. The maids took out the luxurious golden candlesticks from the basement and placed them around the two of them. The candles are also specially made. If you look closely, you can see that there are gold wires wrapped in the wax, and the gold wires are carved into runes.
Miss Audrey knelt alone on the circular carpet, placing the cards in her hand on the carpet one by one with a serious expression.
After some arrangements were made, the maids left quickly and moved some screens to make this space a dark room. Jenkins also knelt on the rug, facing the woman.
Between the two of them, there are divination cards placed in strict accordance with the rules.
The flames elongated the shadows of the two, and they closed their eyes at the same time, devoutly drawing the holy emblem of their belief in righteous gods on their chests. This is a necessary step before the important ceremony begins.
"Mr. Williams, I will lead you in a very formal divination ceremony. Please follow my instructions."
"OK."
He nodded nervously, being able to participate in such a level of ceremony was a reward in itself. In fact, such ceremonies are generally not free to watch or participate in. Fortune tellers strictly keep their own secrets, which is also a requirement of the discipline of divination.
"Now, please release your soul emblem. Let the emblem respond to your spirit and extend its scope to this carpet."
As she spoke, she closed her eyes and raised her head. The arms are slightly opened, as if embracing an invisible person in mid-air. Following this series of actions, the purple emblem appeared, with a spinning shuttle-like pattern in the center of the circle.
The emblem was produced on the forehead, and Miss Audrey maintained this movement. The area of the emblem gradually expanded and decreased, and finally it was printed on the snow-white plush carpet without patterns.
She opened her eyes and looked at Jenkins.
Jenkins nodded, but was struggling in his heart: "Which one should I use?"
