Chocolat probably knew that he was going to travel far away, so he had a particularly cheerful breakfast. When Jenkins was reading the newspaper, it kept pawing at the newspaper with its paws, digging a hole in Mr. Mayor's face.
But it is still early, there is no need to start now.
Neighbors also knew that Jenkins had won the Kingdom's literary award. During breakfast, the Goodman family from next door even came to visit and presented a celebratory gift—a bottle of champagne. As for the widow who lives on the other side, Jenkins has not met this woman recently, and she probably moved to another place temporarily to wait for delivery.
At 7:30, I got up from the sofa, checked the windows of the house in my boots, and then walked out of the hall with the cat in my arms, a cane and a hat in my arms.
Looking up at the bedroom on the second floor, he inserted the big copper-colored key into the keyhole, turned it around twice and heard a click, and locked the door.
Pa and Robert and Mary will see him off at the station, so there is no need to wait for anyone. Walking to the intersection with excitement, she saw Miss Audrey waving to her from the window of the carriage, and the coachman parked the carriage in front of Jenkins smoothly.
"Go to the station."
After getting into the carriage, Miss Audrey said this to the coachman, and the carriage set off again.
"You don't need to come see me off, I'll be back in a week. Oh, by the way, Miss Miller sent a letter from Loen, and she asked me to deliver it to you."
Since he was very busy in the past few days, Jenkins only met Miss Miller once after the Evergreen Forest incident, and told her that there was no major problem here. Although it would be more labor-saving to read the letter once and copy it with the Book of Memories when he came back, but he respected the privacy of others, so he had the cheek to ask Protoss Lacourt to help send the original.
His explanation to Miss Miller was that he had a prop similar to B-11-2-5432, a pair of mailboxes, and she didn't ask again.
"OK."
Miss Audrey put the letter away, and then took out a set of divination cards: "I just remembered that I haven't divination for your trip yet, come and try."
She stuffed the deck of cards directly into Jenkins' hand and asked him to draw one at will.
"Is the divination trip going well? Do we need other preparations?"
"unnecessary."
The woman nodded, looking at Jenkins' hand expectantly.
After hesitating for a moment, he fanned the cards, and then randomly drew a card from the center to the right.
Passing that card to Miss Audrey, he rearranged the remaining cards on his knees.
"How about it?"
He also looked forward to it.
"Interesting prediction, if it's accurate..."
Miss Audrey turned the cards over, and the face of the cards was an upside-down black mask.
"The black mask is murder, I remember the reversed being..."
Jenkins didn't memorize these things, but the books in the suitcase must have them.
"It means that murder won't happen to you, but it will happen to you, and it will have a great connection with you."
She re-inserted/put the card into the deck, then flushed the card with a skillful hand, and handed it to Jenkins:
"Come again."
"Can divination be done twice?"
He was doubtful, but he still reached out and pulled out the top card. This time, I checked the card first: the golden crown in the right position.
"What does the crown mean? Sorry, I only remember the upright and reverse kings."
"Business is going well, and your trip will achieve what you want."
Her words at this time are like those laymen who don't understand anything but still try to explain the meaning of divination. But Jenkins trusts the lady's divination ability, not only because she is his teacher in name, but also because her divination has never been wrong.
Thinking of this, I remembered that in a certain card divination, it represented a sign of the future, which was the Resurrection Cross.
"Perhaps Miss Audrey knows the function of the [Undead] ability. After all, the ancient materials stored by the Church of Destiny and Law can be compared with the Church of the Sages."
While thinking, Miss Audrey placed the reshuffled cards in front of Jenkins for the third time:
"Again."
"Okay... But I remember you once said that divination for the same thing is only useful for the first time. Trying to piece together future omens through multiple divinations is something a fool would do."
"Yes, it seems that you are really serious about your studies. But there are always exceptions..."
In the blink of an eye, seeing Miss Audrey's ability spotlights blooming, she suddenly realized. He reached out to draw another card, but his hand stopped in mid-air.
"Since it's for divination about the future of my trip, why don't you give chocolate a try? Observing the omen from a different angle should have better results."
Miss Audrey was also taken aback, and then looked at the cat on Jenkins' lap that suddenly opened its eyes:
"That's true. Maybe you are really the most suitable type of person to learn divination. This is a good idea."
Jenkins hugged the chocolate involuntarily. It screamed and struggled desperately, and the narrow compartment immediately became a mess.
In a panic, Chocolate's claws knocked out one of the cards, and the card fell on the ground of the carriage, which was a positive lunar eclipse.
"This is a rare card."
The woman picked up the divination card, and looked inquiringly at the kitten that had regained its composure and was dozing on its knees, with some doubts in its eyes.
But she quickly put her doubts behind her and introduced the meaning of the card to Jenkins:
"I've always done divination for humans, so interpreting the future of animals may be a bit off. This card represents accidents and ups and downs. You, or your cat, will encounter a series of troubles in the future, but these troubles are It will not bring fatal danger. The moon itself has a hidden meaning, and the scope of the priesthood of Lady of the Dark Moon includes [keep secrets], so after the ups and downs, you will spy on some hidden things, from Some extremely precious gains were not obtained.”
"Meow~"
Chocolate yelled obediently, as a response to Miss Audrey's words. Jenkins stroked its soft back, feeling a little uneasy.
In the end, he still didn't directly ask about the [Undead], but planned to probe after the trip.
The carriage sent Jenkins to the intersection next to the station. Before getting off the car, Miss Audrey also gave Jenkins a necklace with a shell-shaped metal pendant on it.
PS: I changed the cover of this book, and it feels good, at least better than the previous one. The original picture can be found in Du Niang's pictures with the keywords "Assassin's Creed" and "London".
