Vol 2 Chapter 415: Divination, tarot cards

October, frost moon.
Although the east coast is close to the ocean and has a maritime climate as a whole, under the influence of light, the temperature has also begun to decline. The air became cold, and the wind in the night poured into people's clothes, and it was as painful as a small knife cutting meat.
The Hague.
This is a port city on the east coast. It is not too small or medium in size. It is named as the land extending towards the ocean resembles two huge beast teeth.
There are about thousands of people living here, and many buildings are arranged unevenly, without a good plan at a glance. There are no drainage ditches on the street, and the sewage flows horizontally. Most of the street surface is muddy soil, and it becomes muddy when it rains, which is extremely bad.
At this time, the sky in The Hague was gray, and the extremely cold cold rain, like a broken bead, hit down to wet the ground and wet the roof. On the streets, because of the cold air, no pedestrians were left, and they were extremely deserted. The tavern is very lively. Many people have no place to go. They all gather here to order one or two glasses of the cheapest drinks. While tasting, they brag about all kinds of things.
Guevara Tavern is the most popular pub in The Hague.
The reason for this is not because it serves well, nor because its food is delicious, but because its drinks are almost 10% lower than other pubs.
This is enough!
At this time, in the Guevara tavern, many people sat around the wooden table, yelling and talking.
"Hey, Duke, did you hear that? Last month, a ship called "Black Thorns" went out to sea and met the legendary ghost ship, but no one came back." A man said, because his body was often The sun exposed to a bronze color.
"Che, Hal, your message has expired and it's not as good as mine." The man named Duke, a thin man with dark skin, listened a little with disdain after his companion, "I and You said, just over half a month ago, there was a ship called the Nautilus, and it also encountered the ghost ship, and no one came back.
You don’t know, there is the owner’s daughter, named Eliza, who is just eighteen years old this year. That white yo, especially those hands, the white one looks like foaming out of milk, soft and smooth, twitching. Alas, what a pity. "
At this time, the third person on the table made a sound, and he was a bit close-eyed, and his voice was a bit sour: "I said, Duke and Haar, you two are discussing the ghost ship all day, are you bothered! You are real Have you seen it, or what, can you say something practical?"
The two discussing the ghost ship looked at the third person, and Duke said, "Pistre, we don't like to hear your words. Believe it or not, but what we say is true."
"Yes, that is." Hal agreed.
Pist rolled his eyes, and his voice continued to sour: "It's strange to believe that, according to what you said, the "Blackthorn" and the "Nautilus" both encountered the ghost ship, and they didn't come back. How do you know? What happened? Are you guys on two ships? Or, you guys on ghost ships? Well, it’s not credible to hear rumors from others. You are really naive."
"You!" Duke and Haar were speechless. Haar was a little grumpy. He couldn't help but stood up, and he had to teach Piste.
At this moment, with a "squeaky" sound, the tavern door opened, and the cold wind outside, and the cold rain silk pour in together.
Hal was seated a few people closer to the door, and he was caught in the rain, and Hal could not help but fought a cold war. With a grumble of dissatisfaction in his mouth, Hal looked at the door subconsciously, forgetting to teach Pist.
Hal saw that the door opened, and two figures dressed in clothes walked in, one big and one small. The two took off their clothes and revealed their true faces. They were a young man in black and a half-big girl.
Seeing this combination, Hal couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and was in a habit of looking subconsciously at the waist of the young man, looking for a purse. But... the purse didn't see it. What he saw was a long sword hanging around his waist, not what it looked like.
"Well, isn't it a rookie..." Hal said in his heart, quickly withdrawing his gaze.
...
The perspective on the other side.
Richard took Pandora into this tavern called "Guevara". After taking off the rain-proof clothes, he quickly felt that a lot of eyes were on him.
Part is curious, part is inquiry, and part is not good intentions.
Fortunately, these eyes didn't stay long. After discovering the long sword around his waist, most of them looked back rationally. Several were still watching, he didn't care, and pulled Pandora to the counter.
This is the fifth day of leaving the Shiraishi Tower.
After taking Pandora away from the White Rock Tower, he took a carriage to the beach, but instead of going to the port when he first landed on the east coast, he chose a slightly ordinary place like The Hague.
The reason is very simple. The seaport that landed for the first time is numbered on the entire east coast. He doubts that there may be people of mysterious organizations or other wizards. In order to reduce the trouble as much as possible, he avoided it.
Hopefully, Moore can be reached smoothly along the way.
Richard thought, stepping forward to the counter.
The pub owner standing behind the counter was a fat man with a greasy face, squeezed out a very sincere smile, and rubbed his hands and said: "This guest, welcome to the "Guevara" pub, what can I do? Is it for you?"
"Snapped!"
When Richard flipped his hand, a silver coin snapped on the table and said directly: "Help me get a glass of water, and... ask you for a message."
The pub owner's eyes lit up, and he quickly put away his silver coins and continued to smile sincerely: "It's easy to talk, water to talk. I just don't know what aspect of the message you are asking? If it is something that breaks the law, I can't guarantee it. I can tell you, of course...silver coins are non-refundable, forgive me."
"Is that so?" Richard said, "Then you don't have to worry too much. The message I asked is very simple. When did a ship go to sea?"
"Uh, this one, it's really simple," the tavern boss said, waving to the people sitting in the tavern. "It can be told that at least half of the people here are on board. That's because it rained. They will stay with me when they come back. When the weather is good, they will all go out to sea by boat."
"You may have misunderstood my words. I said that I went out to sea." Richard was not angry because of the foolish pretense of the pub owner, but said blankly, "I want to know if there has been a northward trip recently. The big ship, I want to follow them to the north."
"Going north? Dajun?" The pub owner scratched his head and frowned, "Then I have to think about it, think about it..."
"Snapped!"
Richard patted the second silver coin on the table.
"Ha! I remembered." The pub owner said quickly, and then collected the silver coins more quickly.
"Should there be a boat going north," the tavern owner said, "but... guests, you should also know that we are just a small port, so many ships going north will not call.
Coupled with the recent period of time, what makes the ‘ghost ship’ panic-stricken, many big ships are going around, and even fewer are docked. Three days ago, there was a "Lord Bailey" docked to replenish fresh water and eat, and the rest really didn't know..."
"really do not know?"
"Really don't know..." The pub owner looked sincere.
"Snapped!"
Richard shot the coin on the table for the third time. This time it was not a silver coin, but a golden one!
A gold coin is worth dozens of silver coins!
The tavern’s eyes straightened out, and he took it with his hand, but didn’t take it, because Li Cha’s finger was
slightly
pressed on it—after getting the treasures of the Baishi Tower and the Black Spirit King, Li Cha generally did Too lazy to care about money, but this does not mean that he is willing to be the wrongdoer. The pub owner in front of him is obviously very greedy. He can satisfy the other party’s greed, but only if his needs are addressed.
"Kaka!"
The pub owner reached out and tried several times, and found that he couldn’t really pick up the gold coin that Richard gently pressed with one finger. But he gave up and realized what was happening. Looking up at Richard, he asked carefully: "This guest, I really don't know the news of the big ship going north, at least for now. After all, the big ships are heading at sea, and there is no contact without landing. I can’t fly over, ask them?"
"I understand this, so I have a request."
"Ask? You say!"
"You sent someone to stare at the port all the time. When a big ship going north docked, just go talk and ask if you can add two people. You can help me do this, the gold coins are yours, now It's temporarily here with me."
"This--"
"Also, open a better room for me, and don't forget the water I just called. The two silver coins I gave you before, to pay for these, should be more than enough." Richard said, finished Putting away the gold coins, he turned and dragged Pandora to an unmanned table in the tavern, and walked to the table to sit down.
Soon, the pub owner came over and carefully placed a glass of water on the table, still thinking of the gold coins in his heart, and he was a little unwilling to say: "This guest, I promise, I will help you as soon as the ship going north docks Contact. Look, that gold coin..."
"I will keep it for you."
"This... alright." The pub owner was completely helpless and left with his head down. "I... I'll go and prepare the room for you."
Li Cha watched the pub owner leave, withdrawn his gaze, and picked up the clear water on the table before drinking. Suddenly a voice rang next to him, "Boy, you seem to be a little confused. Do you want me to help you divining your fate?"
"Huh?" Li Cha turned his head and looked narrowly.
I saw that the woman sitting at a table next to me was talking.
The woman was wrapped tightly. I didn't know whether it was because of the cold or some kind of alertness. There were almost no exposed areas in the whole body, which were covered by black robes. A black cloth hung on his face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, his eyes were a little muddy, and he didn't look very young. Coupled with the voice of the other party talking, it was presumed to be around 40 or 50 years old.
What makes Richard wary is that this woman is one of the masters who has been staring at him since he entered the door. Obviously, the other party was interested in him or had a purpose from the beginning.
Are you ready to take action now?
Divination?
interesting……
Thinking about it, Li Cha looked at the woman and asked seriously, "How are you going to give me divination? Use copper coins? Or, use a crystal ball?"
"No, those things are deceiving. My divination is real divination, so I use real divination props-something you have never seen before." The woman said.
Talking, the woman stepped over and sat on the side of Richard's table, then took out a stack of cards from the robe and shook it on the table: "Now, this is it!"
Richard briefly glanced at the card suddenly, raised his eyebrows, and found that the card in the hand of the woman was a famous tarot card in the western world of modern earth.
Yes, tarot cards!
On modern earth ~EbookFREE.me~ The earliest appearance of the Tarot card was in the middle of the fifteenth century-the end of the Middle Ages.
At that time, the tarot card appeared as a card game, and the source was a court game Tarotchi in Italy.
Later, until the 18th century, Tarot cards were used for divination by mystics and mystic scholars.
Now, in a world similar to the Middle Ages, the Tarot cards appear obviously early. Of course, even the bulbous bow of the 20th century has appeared. The Tarot card is completely acceptable. After all, the Tarot card's technological content is almost zero.
Generally speaking, the tarot card is a card that is very similar to playing cards. It usually has 78 playing cards and consists of two different decks. The first is called Grand Arcana, which consists of 22 cards with no suits, which is equivalent to the so-called "ace card". The second type is called Little Arcana, and consists of 56 cards, which are divided into 4 suits. Each suit has a number 2 to number 10 card, plus an Ace and four court cards. Then, by explaining the meaning of the patterns on the different cards, it tries to divination one's fate, or the result of one thing.
Science is unscientific.
At least, Richard is unbelievable.
Of course, Richard did not show too much personal inclination, simply glanced at the card and said, "Is the Tarot card?"
The divination woman listened to Richard's words, her eyes flickered, revealing both embarrassing and surprised eyes, and said: "Tarot cards? Have you seen such cards before?"
"you could put it that way."
"Well, but the Tarot card is your name. I prefer to call him the Destiny card." The woman took a deep breath and looked at Richard, "How's it, kid, let me help you divination you Confused fate?"
